Do I have to make a Discord account for this or am I going to be fine without it?
you can participate without it, but it's advisable to make a discord account, so it's easier for you to talk with the other members in your nation

So lots of you still have questions about PokéNations 3, am I right? So here in this thread, you can ask anything about the competition!
All you have to do is highlight your question in green, like this, and you're good! I, or another committee member, or maybe even a good enough samaritan, will answer promptly.
And speaking of good samaritans, thank you @Morshu for explaining this to newer members! This was a nice day thanks to you

Spoiler
Yep, it's back, and this time I'm not faking it. PokéNations, one of the community's favourite (and most controversial) events! And it's back for its third season! Now let's get right into it!
So, what's PokéNations?
PokéNations is a battling competition for all of reborn, where anyone can enter! Participants are divided in six groups, the Nations, and they'll get to vote on a leader! After that, they'll go into the PokéNations 2018 Type DraftTM (more on this in a second). After the types are chosen, the Nations will get to pick their name.
The goal of PokéNations is to have participants work, teambuild, practice, and strategize with their Nation
comradesmembers, in order to lead their nation to victory over the others as often as possible. The competition will go on for 10 weeks, and after those, the 2 Nations that won more weeks will face each other in The Grand FinaleTM , and the nation that comes out on top will win this edition of PokéNations!The rundown
The Draft
After all nations voted for their leader, the PokéNations 2018 Type DraftTM will begin. This'll be a snake draft until 12 types are picked. For those of you that don't know, in a snake draft, after all the sides have made their first pick, the picking order is reversed. So in this case, every Nation will pick one type, in a randomized order, and after all Nations made their pick, the picking order is reversed, and the Nation that was the last to pick will be the first to pick their second type. The picking order will be changed after every Nation has 2 types, to an order picked by the committee. This order will take the types that were already picked into consideration, and will be made in order to balance all Nations.
The Challenges
Every week, the same teambuilding challenge will be issued for all Nations. The challenges will be revealed every Saturday at about 6 PM (GMT +1): a thread will be posted, and there the challenge of the week will be explained, and every Nation will know who they're facing, in the following format:
Nation A v. Nation B
Nation C v. Nation D
Nation E v. Nation F
The challenges are designed for you to carefully build your team, in order to have the best possible matchup against your opponent, and, of course, for every face off to be equally fair for both sides. Committee members and leaders should make sure every battler follows the challenge's rules.
Each nation has to come up with the required number of battlers for every week. After decided, the leader must submit the rosters to each Nation's staff member. The matches will be randomized, and the challenge thread will feature them the next Sunday, at 6 PM GMT +1. Any questions about the challenge go in the thread, but they have to be highlighted in green, like this.
The questions must be highlighted, since replays of every match will be posted in that thread, so they can be reviewed by staff, to keep track of each Nation's wins/losses (this will be added to the thread), and for staff to judge whether all rules were followed. So make sure you save those replays.
The staff
There will be at least one staff member in every nation. The staff members are the following: myself (Hycrox), DW, Personthing, Nick Crash, pyrromanis, Kurusu, Odybld and Xiri. Now Ironbound too. Feel free to contact us on forums, or on Discord (more on that in a bit).
Rules
- All Pokémon used by a Nation must have at least one of the Nation's three types. If a Pokémon is a dual-type with only one type belonging to the Nation in question, it's still allowed.
- Teambuilding should follow the rules of the weekly challenge.
- All players must abide by the deadlines. If a player is unavailable for a week in which they're on their Nation's roster, they must be replaced by a sub.
- All players may battle three weeks in a row ONCE, and after that they're cut to two weeks in a row.
- Breaking any of the rules above may result in disqualification of the battle.
- Be nice, and have fun! (Yes, fun is mandatory)
FAQ
Are Megas allowed?
- As long as the mega maintains a type your Nation controls. Example: A nation with the Flying-type, but without Water or Dark, can use Gyarados, but can't use Mega Gyarados. Similarly, nations can't use a mega that has one of their types, but with a base form that doesn't have any of their types.
What about Pokemon that use nonconventional means to change types?
- Transform, Protean, Color Change, etc. They'll be counted as their base type.
What does being a Nation leader imply?
- The leader will speak on behalf of their Nation during the Type Draft, voicing the final decision on each type. They also have to submit their Nation's roster, and contacting the committee, if there's ever a need to.
What's the prize?
- Brag rights. And a multitude of nice boons in the future! So better wait and see
Wow, this is so cool, and you're so cool Hycrox! Where do I sign?
Soon enough, a sign up thread will be up. There will be an initial period of about 2 weeks that's exclusively for sorting players by Nations, according to their interests type-wise. You can sign up even if you're not sure whether you'll have time for this every week, due to the flexible nature of PokéNations.
Signups will be open until the grand finale, so newer members to the server and forums are able to participate as well.
The battles will occur on Reborn's Showdown server: reborn.psim.us . There's also a dedicated Discord server for Nations talks: https://discord.gg/CX54mtg
Lastly, you CANNOT select the Nation you're placed in. The participants will be sorted to above all ensure equality and fairness across all Nations, so there are no guarantees of you being on your bestie's nation.

It's finally back! One of Reborn's most loved battling competitions is back for its long awaited third season, that you've waited almost 2 years for! PokéNations! There's a lot of info to cover in this post, so let's get to it!
What is a PokéNations?
PokéNations is a battling competition that all of Reborn is eligible to compete in! Participants will be placed into one of six 'Nations'. After, they will have the opportunity to elect a leader and pick two of their Nations types via the PokéNations 2018 Type DraftTM (more to come on this in due time). When the type draft is complete, the PokéNations committee will assign each Nation their third type, and Nations will have the chance to create their names for the competition.
From here, nation members will have the opportunity to work, teambuild, and strategize together to fulfill the requirements of various challenges as they battle other Nations in head to head competitions. This competition will go on for 10 weeks. At the end, the two Nations with the most wins will go head to head in the Championship series to determine the overall winner of PokéNations!
Competition Rundown
The Challenge Thread
Every week on Saturday by midnight EST, each Nation will receive an assignment as to which Nation they are facing, in the following format:
Nation A v. Nation B
Nation C v. Nation D
Nation E v. Nation F
The Matchup Thread
By Sunday at midnight GMT, a new thread will be posted. This thread will tell battlers whom their exact opponent for the week is. From this point, battlers have the span of the week to teambuild and face their opponents. Replays of the battles should be saved and links posted in this thread, so that the staff can review and ensure that all challenge rules were followed and keep track of the win/loss ratio for each Nation (located in the OP of the thread.)
Rules- All Pokémon used by a nation must have at least one of the nation's three types; failure to do so can result in disqualification of the battle.
- Teambuilding should adhere to the weekly challenge; failure to do so can result in disqualification of the battle.
- Deadlines must be strictly adhered to; failure to do so can result in a penalty for the Nation.
- You may only battle three consecutive weeks ONE time, after that you are capped at two weeks between breaks.
Frequently Asked Questions
Are dual types allowed?- Yes, so long as one of the types falls into the types that your Nation has.
- If the type of a Mega Evolution changes so that it is no longer a type that your Nation controls, then you are unable to use it. For example, a Nation with the Flying type cannot use Mega Gyarados or Mega Charizard X, as they lose their Flying type upon Mega Evolving. Similarly, a nation that has the Dark type cannot use Mega Gyarados, as Gyarados' base typing does not have Dark in it.
- All Pokemon that can utilize an ability (Protean, Imposter, etc) or a move (Transform, Reflect Type, etc) should be counted as their base type. This means that only the Nation that has Normal can use Ditto and Kecleon and so forth.
- Each Nation should select a leader by popular vote. Nation leaders will speak on behalf of their nations during the Type Draft, voicing the final decision on the type that their Nation will take. Additionally, leaders are responsible for posting their Nation's roster of battlers, any decisions that the Nation makes should a challenge call for it, and contacting the committee should any problems arise.
- It's something very special about the very foundation of Reborn.
- The committee will be revealed in due time.
Can you select the nation you're placed in?
- You cannot select the Nation that you are placed in. There is no guarantee that you will be in a Nation with your buddies. The process used to place participants into their Nations has been designed to ensure fairness and a level spread of talent across all Nations.

Yes it's back. Back again. Almost 2 weeks late but it's ok. Az changed the date anw
Now it's time, to D-D-D-D-DDDDAppreciate!
blame bibs for this jokeFirst, a quick shoutout and appreciation for the cool kids, @Azeria for doing this last year, @Guzam for 2016, @Morshu for 2015, and @Arkhi for 2014
Now, no sarcasm unless it's clearly meant to be a joke (do it with a strikethrough,
like this), and accept all complements. Now, appreciate your dearly nerds. I'll start:@Morshu Nice day my dude. To say you're a great guy is an understatement, so I hope you're prepared for an unforgettable paragraph. You're a really cool man, you lift the spirits of everyone around you, and you're generally just a very chill and genuinely funny guy and a great person to be around. It's been a grand time, and a pleasure to meme with you, and by now I'd say your memes give me super strength. Just with those, and by being a lax guy who can interact with anyone, even if they can be coarse and rough, you've had a great impact on the community. I wouldn't even fight you if you ate the last slice of pizza, or if you bypassed the compressor. You've definitely made my time here, and everyone's, richer, and to me you'll always be number one. May there be many more fun times in the future.
@Ironbound You might be my most recent friend on this list, but you're undoubtedly a great guy. You're always open to talk, and, serious or not, conversations with you are always great.
Even when you talk shit about my memes.You can always give helpful advice to those in need, and can keep your cool in most situations. And you have a great sense of humor too. Know that I always appreciate you; you probably do, but better say it for good measure.@Azeria
Bakugo is not that good don't @ me.Real talk now, you're a swell guy, and a pleasure to talk with.Not to mention you have a lot of patience for my assery.When you're available, you can help anyone, and you're a great friend. It's been a lot of fun hanging out with you here, and I've had a great time in Redemption. May more fun times be ahead.@Personthing You're a very sociable and outgoing person, who clearly enjoys spending time with people, and I admire you for that. You're a great guy, and really fun to talk with. You always have something nice to say, and you can bring up anyone's spirits. You can always look at the bright side of things, and you're a very funny guy too. All the best for the future.
@The Grinch Love out memeing time together bb. You're great to be around, and a good partner in meme. It's been lotsa fun chatting with you, in whatever language it may be. Stay cool :]
@Odybld
more like Odybid amirite.Anw, you're lots of fun man, anda goddamn degeneratereally helpful when you're needed. Aweebman of culture too, you've gave me lotsa stuff to watch. Hope you have some Great Days. Can't wait for us to eclipse everyone :^)@Amakeyasiru! My boy, you're a really cool dude, and it's been a lot of fun hanging out with you over time. You've been a great friend too, and a quality memer. May many more joyous times come.
There will be more appreciations soon, but /lazy
