The first Empire was founded by the Nords commanded by the Dragonborn bloodline, conquering one by one all the other provinces. The old bloodline is gone now, and the empire falling apart. No use saving a dying relic, sometimes you have to start over. So my Dragonborn helps liberate an independent Skyrim so history can repeat itself, and the Nords commanded by the dragonborn bloodline can conquer the other provinces, one by one.

As one of those new people since ep.15 (Thanks for the welcome btw) who barely posts but lurks a lot, what exactly defines "the community"? Does that mean everyone that is registered here will get access or is it more limited than that.?

poison is the most rewarding mono type run I have ever done. Muk and Dragalge were probably my favorite members and highly useful. Nothing takes damage like those guys. Especially if you can breed Acid Armor on them. And make sure you sure the field effects to your absolute advantage. My poison team was fully dedicated to negating enemy beneficial effects and turning them into poison field. Very satisfying.

Pokemon Red. (Where are all the other first gen folks here?) Some of my best gaming memories ever.

I actually rather like this one. Was there a specific inspiration for it?

So I read in the field effects manual that sludge and other similar attacks can turn a cave field into a corrupted cave. However this is not working for me in amethyst cave. Is that just specific for that cave, or is this a bug? EDIT: Just tested it in another cave, doesnt work there either.

Which sounds great and all, but still does not really adress the fact the Reborn tries to implement some very mature and responsible storytelling on the one hand, but at the same time still hands out gymleader titles to little children. This remains conflicting to me. The way I perceive it through the games is that being a gymleader is a title that comes with sometimes rather large expectations and responsibilities. Its in my opinion by definition not the kind of responsibility you hand out to little children. You also dont ask an 8 year old to run a local community centre. Or an actual gym.

Today I learned that starting on a policy brief on counter insurgency a day before the deadline, while sick, might not be the road to success.

I know nothing about 4chan, so I cant really comment on that. But I really like reddit. There is always plenty to discuss there in the subreddits that I like frequent. Your experience will vary ofcourse depending one where you go. But the same goes for everywhere. If a city has a bad neighbourhood, it doesnt mean that the whole city is crap. But I do think/worry that every internet community (even this one) runs the risk of getting a dominant insider subculture that increasingly elevates the entry barrier for new people with fresh opinions.

There is. But it goes on and on and on. But maybe I am biased. The entire Adrien gender explanation thingy felt very patronizing to me.

8/10 I like the colours.

As someone who hasnt played a pokemon game between Silver and Reborn, Protean Greninja was really a special treat.

Muk, Crobat, and Dragalge. The other 3 are probably going to be Tentacruel, Drapion, and Nidoking.

This is a rather useless question to be honest. Teams and tactics can be so different than anyone can have a completely different experience. For my fire mono team, the only really difficult boss battle was Terra, for my mono poison team it was Radomus. No boss is geared towards being difficult for everyone.

Seems you got plenty of people already to bounce ideas off, but if you like one more just send me a pm.

welcome, fellow new person!

Still going to stick with Kain I think. There is already a Nidoking named Cain in the game, and should in-game Cain ever find out I named a pokemon after him I'd imagine I would never hear the end of it. Ofcourse there is only one option for Dragalge: Kelpie: Kelpie (Celtic Mythology): A water horse with ghostly trappings. Sometimes appears as a beautiful woman. Not to be trusted.

Nice suggestions so far. I really appreciate the creative effort! I always have trouble naming characters in games. As for genders, and names that I particularly like so far: Muk - Male -Tidal Drapion - Male - Entrail Dragalge - Female (something classy, yet sinister) Tentacruel - Female Crobat - Male - Irradiant Nikoking - Male - Kain That leaves two..

A fellow dutchie! Im sure it will be great.

Utter lack of creativity here. The team that will intoxicate reborn: Muk Dragalge Drapion Nidoking Tentacruel Crobat What would be cool/adorable/terrifying/pretty/fitting names for these guy's and gals? Go nuts.

Anything? What is your stance on a hypothetical current resurgence of 80's music?

Thank you! What are your fields of expertise if I may ask? In both martial arts and master track? Thanks! Songs like that put the soul at ease! Addressed perfectly. Though better go with "spoon". quicker to type. Also, I have no idea how to edit a quote into a former post. So now I probably made an inappropriate double post.

Hi ya'll. After already playing trough Reborn 3 times now and starting on my 4th I figured it was time to get in on the fuss around this place. I've been lurking for a while now. Posts on where to catch what have been very useful. Posts on monotype viability rankings used to be more helpful when they were still sorted by time, and not classification (whats up with that?) So about me personally: Enthusiast martial arts practitioner, first Pencak Silat, now MMA, studying for my masters in International Relations, compulsive gamer and reader, and longtime closeted pokemon fan. English not my native language but trying hard to make sure no one will notice. But be warned: Interpunction is not my strong suit. Have played the heck (what are the curse-words guidelines here?) out of pokemon red and silver. Tried Emerald once and found it too easy. Got hooked on Reborn after seeing a 9gag post on it recently (Im not a hipster in touch with the underground scene, and I'm always late to the party, sue me.) So far I have done 3 play-troughs (as mentioned): A regular one Monotype Fire Monotype Poison (by far my favorite experience, Psychic gym was hell, at least 4th circle by Dante standards. Titania is going to be probably worse. Now going to attempt not so much a monotype run, but one based on sandstorm/sandstream. (Really would like some advice and tips on that.) Would like the team to be allround, some quick hard hitters, some sturdy damage takers( dear god my acid armor Muk could take a STAB EQ to the face and giggle it off), some to negate glaring weaknesses... I want it all. So thats pretty much the most important information. Ask me anything else and if I think the answer will make me look cool I'll reply as soon as possible.
