You wanted an anime themed run. There is one. Do you know who Gundham Tanaka is?

I was thinking of doing a full rodent-tiny pokemon related run, based on Gundham Tanaka. Something similar would be very interesting @Zarc

She is ok for giving diversity to the game, but she's too... exaggerated. I'd like to see a change of character on her after her digital imprisonment, similar to the change Victoria has undergone after Kiki's death... And turned from a whiner that just tries to avoid problems into a badass who takes things into her hands confidently. Just toning down the RAAWRs and caps abuse a bit would do the trick with Terra though.

Yes, their work is awesome and they are really fast as well! I can't sprite at all, since magnifying something in paint and editing pixel is something that would destroy my eyes and break my nerves... Also, another question, is there a thread with where and when can you get pokemon for rejuv. monoruns? Updated for v9 would be best, but previous one will do as well! (I had found it, but kinda lost it and eh... w/e I'm a dummy... )

Haha, good job on beating Nim! Needless to say I'm in love with Rejuv. Vivillons and expecting a patch with all of them properly sprited to start my Bug Mono of it... xD Then, I'll spend probably an eternity shiny hunting Scatterbugs and trying to get them all!

Nah, it's not on my immediate plans... Go for whatever you feel like anyways! I'm not sure... Maybe you should ask about it... But I don't think it would be so much of a problem.

He is probably going to be better than me, since I have never played Rejuv. and I'm planning to play it first time with a Monorun! xD Just a question, is there a point in Rejuvenation's playthrough where you get locked from previous areas? (like the gate to Agate City in Reborn) Cause if I have to breed and realize it after getting locked out of Daycare I'll be pretty fucked up...

Haha, I'll treat you the same way I treated Terra earlier today... JK, good luck Amine! They are the most abundant actually, LOL. Well, maybe after poison types... But at least you'll have some Rock type coverage early game, unlike me... Early game was a struggle... EDIT: OHHHHH IT IS A REJUVENATION MONOBUG +SEVIPER RUN!

Hello ProjectIceman, my fellow Lapras. Ice/Water for me as well! xD

First things first, good job Zell! For all your work so far, especially destroying Bennett/Luna in a row and first-try winning vs Charlotte! I've done same with my Poison monorun. I had found so many shiny poison types waiting boxed in my previous 3 runs, so I used my laptop and main PC and (it involved lots of running from one to the other) traded them all to my Poison mono file, right after the first 2 battles, which I won with a Bulbasaur. I'll do the walkthrough of that too, so you'll see how it went! Keep going Zell, I'm rooting for you

Eh, it's fine to be bored of something. I still haven't advanced with my Bug mono after returning to Reborn City, just level training and EV training my squad to be ready for everything

That's why I keep backups in Dropbox and update the backup every time I update my save file... Cause I've lost stuff once, I'd not want to lose them again, especially with like 220 hours of gameplay invested in them.

Why don't you just use a backup before file got corrupted? Haven't you set that to work in settings? Also, considered asking for help from someone about your save file before deciding to abandon it? It's a pity to not complete a monorun... That is, unless it is your choice not to end it... Edit: @Fronacen Froakie eventually becomes Dark, so he can pick that for a dark type monorun.

Lol, I don't like her a lot... Is it THAT obvious?

Wormadam is solid early-mid game and can find occasional uses throughout Reborn. But not being an UBER, or at least OU, makes it impossible to use for whiners people in SomethingAwful. Only bad thing with Wormadam-Ground (I blame GameFreak) is that only Ground move it learns is Fissure, which isn't really a move, let's be honest.

Haha, my bitter experience made me write that!

CHAPTER 27: Ice Age, the Meltdown! So, after earning TMX Waterfall from Aster and earning a new friend in the process, we decide to keep going towards the Peak of the Mountain... Good thing Passion, my Volcarona used Ember to melt the tear stalactites that were hanging from my eyelashes from the emotional moment I shared with Aster... Never thought I'd mourn for the death of an enemy... But they are just humans as well... And if you find out about their human stories behind joining Team Meteor, I feel compassion for them... Same way with Simon, who lost Tara at Tanzan Lake by the attacks of Saphira's Dragonite. But like some Meteors aren't really criminals... Some others like Blake are true abominations of the mankind. I'd kill him in a heartbeat for locking Heather away and starving an entire city... As I reach the top, Shelly has been already defeated by him... She got too impatient, and now we lost our number advantage... So, Blake wants me to "chill out" (Really now?), so I'll teach him a few things. VS BLAKE My team: Affection, the Leavanny (Female) Quirky/Chlorophyll (Item: Scope Lens) X-Scissor Leaf Blade Camouflage Swords Dance Faithful, the Parasect (Male) Hardy/Dry Skin (Item: Quick Claw) Spore Wide Guard X-Scissor Rage Powder Happiness, the Ariados (Female) Hardy/Sniper (Item: Scope Lens) Sucker Punch Pin Missile Sticky Web Cross Poison Sir Galahad, the Heracross (Male) Jolly/Moxie (Item: Hard Stone) Aerial Ace Close Combat Megahorn Rock Blast Passion, the Volcarona (Male) Timid/Flame Body (Item: Wide Lens) Heat Wave Bug Buzz Hurricane Quiver Dance Gaia, the Galvantula (Female) Modest/Unnerve (Item: Electric Gem) Thunder Wave Discharge Bug Buzz Hidden Power Ground So, like always, I can just abuse Passion's abilities and destroy Blake. But where would be the fun in this? Wouldn't it be better if I destroyed him with pokemon that are weak to Ice? By the way, Faithful the Paras is now a beautiful, strong, and fully aware Parasect! It realizes everything and the cold keeps him even more alert! Looks like Tranquility's Powder mix was quite potent in suppressing the mushroom's effect. And Blake is gonna have a taste of Grass Bugs too! Blake sends in Rotom-Freezer, w/e this thing is, and Jynx. He is a cocky bastard and just wants to brute force my team, so I send in Affection, my Leavanny and Faithful, my Parasect. I try to trigger him. "You are weak. All talk and zero brains!" I tell him from across the Snowy Mountain Field. He gets mad and goes berserk. He orders Jynx and Rotom to both use Blizzard, but my Leavanny gets behind Faithful's Wide Guard and they are both safe. While protected, Affection sets up a Swords Dance! In the next turn, I assume that Blake will be simple-minded enough to think that I will use the same trick again. He truly is predictable. My Faithful uses Rage Powder though, and Jynx's Psychic targets Parasect instead of Leavanny! Affection then X-Scissors Jynx, OHKO'ing her, while Rotom Volt Switches (on Parasect of course), leaving its place to Weavile. Faithful has 252 EVs in both HP and Sp.Def., so he has no problem to survive with about 30% of his HP. In the next turn, Blake sends in his Walrein as well. However, the biggest threat is the fast as fuck Weavile. Another Rage Powder by Faithful draws an Ice Shard by Weavile, which sadly takes him down... But he fell valiantly, since Affection X-Scissored Weavile to oblivion as well. Walrein's Avalanche though, took down my Leavanny too... Jynx and Weavile down, traded for Parasect and Leavanny. This doesn't sound bad at all! "I think we played enough..." I tell Blake and send in Passion, my Volcarona, and Gaia, my Galvantula, to face Walrein and his Rotom, which came back in! A Heat Wave by Passion transforms the field into a Mountain Field, taking Rotom down to red HP and Walrein to 2/3 of its HP. Gaia then uses Discharge, which takes down both Walrein and Rotom-Frost and deals about half of Volcarona's HP... Passion stares at Gaia, who giggles apologetically for hitting him, before she feels Passion's flaming wing patting her head in consolation. Blake is fuming, "Are you melting yet?" I ask him, and he sends in Vanilluxe and Froslass. "Guys, Mr. Blake ordered one of the same... Don't leave him waiting" I tell Gaia and Passion. Passion Heat Waves, OHKO'ing both Vanilluxe and Froslass, after Froslass dared to take out my Gaia with Shadow Ball . Still, only 3 for 6... Blake is mad, but refuses to give back Heather's Ring, talking like a genuine League of Legends flamer, straight out of Bronze 5. He tries to embark on the helicopter, but Cal on his Charizard and Heather on her Salamence, like new Maverick and Ice(wo)man reclaim the Ruby Ring, which comes to the hands of its righteous owner, Heather. Blake leaves with Meteor's helicopter and Cal gives us (God bless you) a ride on Charizard down the Mountain... However, we also find out by Blake, after Shelly asks him, that Terra baited us, revealing that she lied when she informed us that Agate City's lullaby signal is emitted from Ametrine... Hence gaining time for Team Meteor, so Terra is a double agent. I knew she was stupid, but it just got worse. Anyways, Shelly and Heather go back to Ametrine to deliver the food to the (half-starving) residents of the city and, when it comes to us... We head back towards Agate Circus, and after confronting her with the (full of questions and worry) Samson and Ciel, she escapes... errrrrrr... into her PC... MATRIX Terra... And we gotta sink into Gen I (kill me now) to find her, defeat her and get our new badge... Because without it, we can't use Waterfall, so we can't go help Titania on her effort to reclaim Amaria who attempted to commit suicide, so she will murder me with her fucking Aegislash. Little choice I have, Samson, turn me into 0s and 1s... I will hunt the bitch down and knock her to ground (pun intended)! In the next chapter! Till then, enjoy everyone!

I seriously wonder though, who criticizes a game THAT harsh, claims to hate it, finds it awful, but soft resets for like a week to get shinies in all the pokemon he uses? He has shiny Meowth, Goldeen, Espurr (also Male with Own Tempo as he says, to get Prankster), Blitzle, Snivy, Pachirisu, and god knows who else I am forgetting. They are seriously pathetic...

LOL, and seeing your videos on Youtube, your relaxed disposition leads me to the conclusion that you'd not be the one who'd whine about a difficult game, that offers you however a ton of possibilities to actually defeat it! I bet those kids have never even considered how doing a monorun is possible, even with psychics in pokemon yellow! They'd whine about how OP is a Bug-catcher's Butterfree in Viridian Forest or something... Edit: @DerogatoryTrainer Nah, Gibles are too weak, and evolve too late in game. A Landorus-T would be their optimal choice.

I totally agree with you... But they just judge harshly things cause they are not what they are used to. For example, one comment says the following: One thing I noticed is that, out of the 37 wild Pokemon available this early on, they're almost all extremely weak Pokemon lines rather than stuff you actually want to use (Noibat at least evolves into the fastest dragon type in the game, and Blitzle is usable). And deliberately going out of the way to make it impossible for you to have a ground type unless you traded one in from online or picked Mudkip and evolved it until after you've beaten the first (electric-type) gym is nothing but absurdity. Also, slamming right into a full team of 6 on the first gym leader is beyond rude, even ignoring the terrain bullshit at work. Pokemon games never have more than 5 Pokemon on a gym leader (until post-game rematches); even the Elite Four tops out at 5 until post-game rematches. Having a major trainer with 6 Pokemon is usually reserved only for the Champion in modern Pokemon games. A translation of this is... "WAH WAH WAH I CAN'T USE MY OU MONS SINCE THE BEGINNING, I CAN'T ABUSE GYM WEAKNESSES CUZ NO GROUND, I CAN'T HAVE ADVANTAGE IN NUMBERS CUZ GYM LEADER HAS 6 MONS OMG OP RIOT PLZ NERF THIS SHIT BROKEN CHAMP." I thought useful feedback could come by this thread about actual disadvantages. I hadn't thought that they were actually a bunch of 5-year-olds whining cause they don't wanna use their brain to win a game.

Oops, I spoiled it to you... I'm sorry... Well, good thing I said nothing else!

He let them go for good reasons. Mostly because, in their universe, pokemon have feelings too, and he was considerate of them. Competitively, he made bad decisions to let them go, but for the well-being of his pokemon he did the best and is to be respected for that. EDIT: You say for no reason, but I recall Pidgeot left behind to protect the wild Pidgey/Pidgeotto flock from Fearow/Spearow attacks... I haven't watched Gen VI, so can't be sure for Greninja and Goodra, but I bet there is also some justification, based on emotional terms.

She earned a lot of points for being revenge-focused in Episode 16 (Devon Corp raid), but till that moment she ws just dead weight trying to impede our progress. I like her new personality, but her old one sucks...

It is already stated that Pikachu had its "level" reset before every arc, because nothing would make sense otherwise. This is, however, an inconsistency on behalf of the anime creators and does not decrease Ash's battling skills, cause he has demonstrated Reborn-level field knowledge and strategies numerous times.

He knew very well how to use them... I reckon that winning a pokemon league in pokemon world would be equally difficult as winning a competitive tournament in real world.. Which is something that only a 1% of competitive players ever succeed in, and if that! So, Ash making it in the final is pretty damn impressive I'd say... And proving his quality.
