Also, your art is very beautiful! ~

Sylveon used Moonblast!

Lairon - Because Aggron looks ... strange to me.
Haunter - WAY more scary looking then Gengar.
Rhydon - Rhyperior is trash.
Chikorita - I wish the evolutions stayed more true to Chikoritas colors, because I feel that the yellow is out of place and doesn't fit.
Sneasel - Weavile looks like a poor attempt at an evolution of Sneasel.
Torchic - It's evolutions doesn't look like an evolution of Torchic. Too humanoid for my liking.
Surskit - Why the heck did they change it from water/bug to flying/bug?!?!
Roselia - Roserade just doesn't appeal to me as an evolution of Roselia.
Buneary - Lopunny is too humanoid.
Frillish - It's male evolution reminds me of Pringles.
Frogadier - Greninja is ugly.
Floette - Florges breaks the trend with its pre-evolutions.

I'm not saying I have sympathy for Bennett, but I definitely can empathize with him. He really lacks some good role models in his life to actually teach him right from wrong. He's lived with his mother his whole life, who I get the feeling doesn't care for him particularly much, in a small town on the outskirts of the city, surrounded by forrests with his only form of contact with others around his age being by fighting challengers who come to fight his mother, to whom he constantly loses. So when someone comes and offers him to take him away from such a dreary place and help him surpass himself and become an "amazing" person I can definitely see why he'd come to adore and accept everything El says, since he's literally the only person in his life who's ever offered to help him in life.
(I wonder whether Ame is trying to make a statement about religion prying on the weak?)
But otherwise he is NOT a good person in any sense, his morals are very warped and his actions are (for lack of a better word) creepy and abnormal. But again, I feel that in this community the hate towards Bennet is exaggerated and unjustified. People don't even seem to acknowledge El's influence on the boy, and mostly just relegate him to some stereotypical antisocial creepy dude.
This is where I differ. Of course, I won't argue against anyone who dislike Bennett, because it's pointless. An opinion on a character is something one can discuss without going anywhere with.
I just wanna say that I get it. I get why people dislike Bennett. I see peoples point of him being a creep and helping El as a bad thing. And I too see it that way. I'm not trying to say that Bennett is innocent, because he isn't. He has done bad things, even though he tries to convince himself that "it's the best for *insert Reborn character here*". Also his apporach of Luna before your battle with her was immensly creepy.
But what I also see is a boy who was miserable, even if he didn't realize it himself. His mother didn't care about him and people in Spinel Town also talked him down. El was possibly the first person who had given him a complement. Also, taking Bennett out of his hometown provided something new to Bennett. It is unfortunate that the only reason El cares about him is because of his information on Lunas wherabouts.
I'll admit that at first, I didn't like Bennett. However, when I played through Reborn once more, I actually realized how terribly people treated him, especially his mother: Commanding him around and not give a damn about what he loves to do.
Again, I'm not trying to convince people that he's a good character, or innocent or that other people should feel sorry for him just because I do so. I just wanna say what I have to say about Bennett. It's totally alright to diagree. I ain't gonna bite your head off for that.

Its kinda tragic really, since our hate towards Bennett should really be directed toward El who encouraged and begot his behavior.
But no, instead Bennett gets treated as the most hated character in all of Reborn...
This is the one part of me that feels sorry for Bennett.
The other is in general his story. Being ignored at first by everyone in Spinel Town and then suddenly being (willingly) kidnapped and brainwashed by a crazy cultist. I seriously hope something or someone will help him, because I don't want to see him get underserving punishment.

New Pokémon, weee!!
- Wimpod looks creepy, but I do like its typing.
- Bounsweet is adorable. Gimme!!
- Comfey is freaking cute, though it should've been grass/fairy.
- Mudsdale is ... interesting.
- Mimikyu is just wonderful. Also, that typing is beautiful ~
- Bewear was cute at first until I learned that it's 2,11 meters tall ... good lord, now I understand why people of Alola are terrified of it.

Krystal seems like an interesting character. Looking foward to see her again. ~
Yes, yes I did. I know it might not have been the best choice, but I honestly don't care. Flora was an annoying character from the get go. That said, I might have liked her more if I paired up with her, but as for now, I don't regret exposing of her.
EDIT: I felt like I should explain myself a bit more here, because I realized I did sound quite heartless here. The reason I exposed of her is because she gave me a bad first impression. When you first meet Flora, she shouts at you to leave. When Florin offers a gym battle between you and Flora, she straight up refuses to do so. The first thing she does when we fall down into the cell was yelling at her brother, making it seem like he is in fault of them falling down the trap. She also complains when Erin is in charge. Flora was just an irritating character to me who seemed like she was only able to complain about everything. I really dislike both characters and people IRL like this.
I battled against Florin. I set up Swagger with my Mightyena until Cradily knocked her out. I then sent out my Mawile who knocked it out with Iron Head. As for M-Sceptile, I sent out Vanilluxe (who barely survived an attack from it), who OHKO'ed the Sceptile with Ice Beam. The Jumpluff was taken down by two Flamethrowers from my Delphox.
They're all dead (lol, kidding). I don't know what to think of them as for now.
Yeah, but I felt cheated when the only thing that was there was the Light Ball.

This is more a problem I have in video games in general, but I absolutely HATE the Silent Protagonist trope.
Honestly, I understand it when you're basically kind of like a self-insert, but I honestly prefer games where the protagonist is not only involved in the plot, but when he talks, when he makes his opinion known. It's only of my gripes with Pokemon games in general, from the main series to Mystery Dungeon.
And no, implied dialogue does not do it for me, personally. There's a reason why I really like Vyse from Skies of Arcadia. The fact that he's a defined character who talks, in my opinion, makes him more believable and a better protag then if he was just a silent character for the player to insert themselves into.
So...yeah, I don't like the fact that the main protagonist in the game is a silent one. I know it's probably a petty annoyance, but it's one that grates me nontheless.
I see your point, but having an established character in a Pokémon game doesn't always work:
- First off, no matter what personality you give him/her/xe, there will always be someone who will complain about it.
- Second is that in a game such as Reborn, were there are very many different characters with different personality, it would be hard to make up your own opinion about them if what you see of them is through the MC. (I'm not saying it's impossible)
- Third is that I have this feeling that if the MC was given a personality, not many of other characters, such as Cal at the beginning, would open themselves so up to the MC. That one pro with silent protagonist: because they don't talk, other characters may have a better time opening themselves up to the MC because they usually don't judge them.
There are some parts of Reborn I wish the MC had a personality, but when I think of the game as a whole, it suits that it is a silent protagonist.

What is your favorite Pokémon game?
What is your least favorite season?
What music do you like?
If I made you some pudding salad with jellyfish, would you eat it?

Why don't you have a god damn job when you're eighteen and have no reason to sit in the same couch every single day doing absolutely nothing?!

I can't really remember the quote, but the monologue Melia had after what happened on the mountain on that tropical island (
I'm horrible with names, alright?!) was quite emotional. -
Am I the only one around here who does not do nuzlocke?
I've done some, but I usually lose the challenge pretty early. It is a fun challenge, but not so fun for noobs like myself when you just lose early on.
-
I'm so glad you didn't use ralts. I dislike its typing and in general have a bitter relationship with the ralts line.
I'm so looking forward to see you kick Blakes ass. Actually one of the few Meteors that pisses me off. Wreck him.

Doing some activity that requires concentration (i.e. karate) usually works for me too.
And about the nap thing... I prefer to sleep for a whole night. For some reason, I wake up in a very bad mood after taking naps ^^U
We're all different. I know people who can't stand naps. It's fine.
-
I wish I could say I try to calm myself down by watching funny youtube videos, doing stuff I like, etc. However, that would be lying.
I usually take a nap after crying or whenever I don't feel too well. I also try to keep away from people as well. However, back to the nap. Take a nap for en hour-ish and I usually feel much better.
-
Btw, if you really wanna talk about games that try too hard to be edgy, I recommend Snakewood (as mentioned before) and CAWPS ~
-
Try Snakewood and then come crawling back to the relative sanity in Reborn
Believe me, Snakewood is not the only "trying-to-be-edgy" fan-game.
-
If you don't like it, don't play it. No one forces you.

It is implied that Sirius burned down the house to get the saphire bracelet.

The only concept I can think of off the top of my head I'd be absolutely against is an actual human Pokemon.
I'm fine with human shaped ones like the Hitmons, Mr. Mime, etc. But an actual human Pokemon just sounds weird.
Agreed. I'm already struggling with human shaped Pokémon like Sawk.
There isn't really any concept I absolutly don't want to see. I just hope they stop putting cloths on Pokémon. It looks stupid.

Those were some good answers. Funny, but also informative ~
Thoughts on Pokemon Godra?
in Fan-game Exposé
Posted
I'm gonna be honest and say that Godra bored me.
The lack of plot and characters made it seem empty. I didn't always know where to go and I felt like nothing was helping me keep going with anything in the game. I understand the concept and it's an interesting idea. However, because there was no plot at the beginning nor characters to back it somewhat up, the game didn't appeal to me. No one told me where to go.
I'm not saying it's a bad game, it was just to me very boring, as I am playing Pokémon games for the plot. Without a plot, I quit.
I loved the concept of having to take a quiz to pick your starter and the graphics were beautiful ~
