  1. I have tried both a stall team and an offensive one in reborn. The thing with both teams is that I never ever run them pure. It's actually very uncommon to run any of my teams pure. My stall team has delphox which with it's high speed and excellent movepool can cripple offensive threats and its typing allows me to deal with poison/steel types. My offensive team has an amoonguss which serves as a pivot with regenerator and spore to either set up a sweep or get the right matchup (which is not just type vs coverage matchup). There are fights which are a nightmare to do with the offensive team and there are fights which were difficult to do with stall. Also this topic puts Pulse Swalot as the most difficult Pulse Battle which is a stall battle. The problem with implementing HO is that it easily can become the most boring fight in the game. You either lose hard or win hard as you said. Amber is a clear example of a boring fight. I don't know what half her team does simply because I swept it with either Thyplosion or ditto, otherwise I was getting swept. Basically she uses eruption and that's it. It's powerfull field boosted, weather boosted eruption and that's it. Extremely boring. Same with a lot of other rejuvs fight is that they don't give a fighting chance. This might be a valid tactic if it were not for the legendaries, level cap/breaking, illegal movepool, custom moves, one-sided field effects, ... . This actually makes the fights not feel intense but rather cheap. It will get your kill count up but they are not contributing to the experience. Does that mean you have to implement full stall? Of course not. Pure stall also gets it fair share of weaknesses. I advocate for more varied battles. Take reborn for instance Adrienn is a cool concept taken to the max. Intimidate + mist field slows down the game by a lot while still providing pressure. Florinia took a desert theme to her team for the grass type and still brought a good challenge. Shade has a secondary lightning element to his team. Then let's not forget the difference between Samson and Kiki or Aya and Corey. By offereing this variety of teams you can challenge the player in different ways. Not all fights will be difficult some teams can handle other teams better but they will all have that gym leader/PULSE they find particullary challenging.
  2. Legendary with recover? check! Calm mind? check! Psyshock? Check! Leftovers? Check! A bunch of coverage moves? Check! Time to break this game. Honestly what are they thinking? RIP the 20 great/ultra balls and trapinch you were extremely valuable against Reshiram. I also don't get why they even consider giving us a thrid psychic legendary. In return we see the revival of the obligatory stealth section for some reason and the obligatory you win NOT moment. Well I just got to the fourth(?) time related block in the game, just before the gym leader party. The fact that they block the plot progression based on clock just basffles me it makes no sense. In fact because of this you could easily miss some dialogue when waiting for the letter while trying to enter Nello's room. Apparantly he and girlfriend need some privacy which also explains the reason why the two are a bit further away from Chan and Arietta. It is too highlight/showcase their relation. I have to dissagree with the father dialogue though. He may profile his character but it is the most cliché dialogue you can get. Also mom your fight with your mother you were lucky: Infernape has punishment : which with two calm minds would have hit suppereffective with a basepower of 140. Also Mom is a cheat, hitmontop can't learn bite and machoke can't learn crunch. At this point this game reminds me of Rejuvenation a bit, a butload of legendaries, victories that don't matter and one sided advantages.
  3. I'm not familiar with databases professionally but it might be interesting to make clickable links as a datatype (if that doesn't fall under text).
  4. @Ice Cream Sand Witch @DreamblitzX Well if I recall correctly that Yveltal held the soul stone, so I question how much Madame X is a product of this time.
  5. Personally I suspect #2 as well. For #3 if you do the demon rift chandelure side quest, you actually see a machine. To progress the quest you need to use the machine. After an error message you see a colorless statue of Madame X. The rift chandelure possesses the statue to imitate your mother which may imply that Madame X is a doll. It can explain the difference between the two versions of Madame X, the one that tries to murder you and the one that saves you. They are just different dolls.
  6. WAIT YOU CAN GET CRESCELLIA?!? Now I'm legit mad. The game keeps spamming messages for when you want to do something outside of the story range to make sure you follow the story and then they do this. I really dislike this kind of game design. Also I just finished episode 1, so please don't spoil too hard when replying to this.
  7. I'm pretty sure you don't really want stealth rocks in doubles. It can be usefull but in general it is not that good. There is less reason to switch in doubles than in singles. Also I'm pretty sure these are singles mons in a doubles battle, which won't end well even though it fits the narrtive.
  8. Rejuv needs less legendaries not more. Second Rejuv needs less bullshit illegal/custom mons not more.
  9. Those holiday pkmn look cool. Sadly they are going to be cheesed, probably. Also I rememberd something. Why do gen 7 pkmn have access to hidden abilities while all the rest doesn't?
  10. Welcome to reborn. Hope you enjoy your stay. As long you are polite and follow the forum regulations, you should be fine.

  11. Welcome to reborn, hope you enjoy your stay.
  12. To me it would deafeating Adrienn with my stall team which focusses around toxic spikes. Defensive mons tend to be not good in doubles because of focus (and less toxic spikes victim) and the field heavily disrupts my strategy. Luckely I prepared for this match in E15 and my team pulled through.
  13. No it is determined when you start the game.
  14. Oh that makes sense. Oh and i forgot to ask what the base power of a chosen hidden power is?
  15. The thing with mega deltazard is that it sets its own weather which is a huge tactical advanatage especially against other weather teams. Also the abundance of dragon legendarys makes draco meteor a fanatastic option.
  16. Well I finshed Spork and I must say I love how light the tone of this game is. While most (fan)games have a darker story where you have an evil team(s) that threathens the lives of several, have our lives threathend all the time, fight several legendaries and fight gym leaders because you have to. In return you have spork, where you are on a holiday with your sister, you have your pet pkmn with you, the team does petty crimes and have days off and even birthday parties, don't fight any legendary and do the league challenge to enjoy your holiday and explore the region. I also like the themes of the region where each section is a huge tourist attraction. This combines pretty well with the theme of the game. The characters are very interesting and I just love how everyone has a personal live ven the team portal members. My favorites are Delicia and Gina. I do have to mention that some characters are a bit more forgettable but maybe that is because I played the game in a short period. The maps are my biggest gripe with the game. They look pleasing (with only exception being the map borders) but are functionalitywise a bit lacking. Moving through the map feels awkward since sometimes you are blocked by open air and sometimes you can go to places that lead to nowhere. They are also quite buggy. It wouldn't be so bad if it weren't for the marbles you could potentially find. Speaking of bugs i have found a bunch of map bugs through playing this game. Bug 1 : Game breaking in the beach cleaning center Bug 2: Aloria city - Water Jesus Bug 3 Random block Bug 4 That's a big jump. Bug 5 parallel city (Cianosa) Bug 6 Diving before you can swim Bug 7 Reverse Jesus Bug 8 Tree climbing Bug 9 More Jesus Bug 10 Too small too read Bug 11 Master mountain climber Bug 12 no swimming allowed
  17. The reason you need saving is because you werd caught by surprise otherwhise you could use your pkmn and that's basically every issue. So if you could use an item you can use a pkmn. So basically plot stops you from interfering so you can't close the gap between overworld and battle even for a little bit after you widened with a bunch of items. Also I tase Solaris not Garchomp, I just throw some sleep powder on Garchomp/Solaris or confuse them with the wistle. Throwing sleep powder at an opponent or tasing them is not using your environment at all. Distance is not a problem since every gym has a intercom to Ame. Some people might go talk to Ame about it: Shade might, Florinia would, Julia might blab it to Florinia, the agata circus/ring master/audiencce would (imagine using those items in the cricus: show ruined and exposed on the news), G.G. would blab it to the world, ... . That is all assuming you are the first to use it against a gym leader. Also fields are registered by Ame since Ame can speak about them in the intercom so it's not cheating, it's giving them an edge to compensate for their monotyping. Either way the fields are officially part of the leaugue.
  18. It is surprising but the work I do here on reborn actually helps me on my way to a job.
