  1. Three monthes since I last visited this place? Man college has really kept me distracted from here.

     

    P.S - What in earth have I missed?

    1. Dypatome

      Dypatome

      Welcome back! A lot's changed.

      For starters, the site went a transition and the whole thing was remodeled. Everything that was here is still here, besides reputation and the Rupee shop.

      Episode 16 was released (which is fantastic; be sure to check it out)

      And lastly from what I can think of, the second Redemption League tourney is running soon; do give it a shot! All the information is available under the "Redemption League" tag visible from the forums homepage.

      Anyone else can fill in what I missed?

  2. If a Pokemon eats a Grass type Pokemon, does that make it a carnivore, omnivore, or herbivore?

      Although on closer inspection, the fact that we have plant type EGGS would say its more likely to be an Omnivore. Must.... RESEARCH!

    3. Sutoratosu

      Mother of god... I think this is the first time anyone's bothered to ask such a question.

    4. AeroWraith

      AeroWraith

      How did I not run into a question like that.

  3. I believe Gumshoos eat Raticates, which was explained in Alolan lore, hence their transformation to Aloloan Form. Also I am sure somewhere along the line there was a Pidgey family entry or two or three that talked about them eating Exeggcute. Interesting question though. If a Pokemon eats a Grass type, does it make it an omnivore, herbivore, or carnivore?
  4. Man. Fuck my professors for giving me bullshit project on top of another. Good to finally have motre freetime..

  5. Universes with a stupidly large amount of lore?

      Pillars of Eternity has a pretty substantial amount of lore for being a standalone game. If you're looking for something you can jump into, there's that.

      ~~ANKL~~

      Warhammer 40k. Tsukihime/Fate

      Also just about any long-running sci-fi/fantasy franchise or MMO will have a fuckton of lore

  6. Hey who'd be the best writer/roleplayer to talk to about critiquing some ideas I had?

      Pocky

      yeah i'd have to say the same thing, lol

    3. Shamitako

      Shamitako

      Huk's a solid choice. Stratos and Murdoc (Adamance Ascendant) are also P good

      And if you're really desperate you can talk to that one scrub called Alexus. She runs some okayish RPs, like The Tenth God

    4. Chevaleresse

      Chevaleresse

      yes i exist and am willing to help

  7. That whole bit on Trump and the "birth" movement, how after 8 years they still can't prove Obama wasn't born in America, was real irrelevant to the debate as a whole it seemed. Trump brought up this one guy (can't remember his name) who was in charge of the movement. I tuned that whole bit out in my mind, because I was told by both left and right-wing supporters that the guy was pure cancer and a white supremecist or something like that.
  8. I heard a lot of bullshit on both sides, but in my opinion, Hillary absolutely bodied Donald Trump in the debate last night. Hillary did at least speak out of truth and sincerety for the most part, but I sat back watching Trump try to steal the show and think to myself "what an asshole". Trump said one line that made me lose almost all support for him at the end when he said he didn't really care how the election turned out and voiced support for Hillary, it contradicted his statement earlier when he said it doesn't matter how, but he will be on Pennsylvania Ave. in one way or the other on his bit of building construction.
  9. Story idea: A man in the Pokemon universe creates a more successful machine akin to Bill's transformation machine in RBY, is caught by a trainer, and faces an existential crisis because he is unable to communicate in English.

      Is that a character from one of the fan games or something?

    3. Combat

      Combat

      If you took the What Type Are You Quiz, you get put into a similar situation and get caught by a kid named Elliot.

    4. FairFamily

      FairFamily

      it is a character in the what type are you quiz. He also can be found in reborn.

  10. *looks for new Sun and Moon news*

  11. Which I could find an artist to gimme a sprite for a YT channel since I'm a talentless hack at spriting.

  12. Regarding Nidoking, with available TMs, go either full on Special or or mixed with 1 physical move. The best coverage option you have right now is probably Flamethrower beside Earth Power and Sludge Wave. For Barbaracle, you'd be surprised how much good coverage it has, mainly Razor Shell, Cross Chop, and Stone Edge. 2 or which get a boost from the Tough Claws ability. I used Barbaracle to eat up one decent hit, boost it, and proceed to wreck shit up. In that same vein, I found a Chesnaught from a sidequest and found it particularly useful in a few Gyms, but do whatever really.
  13. Any roleplaying or creative writing guys, would you read and/or give feedback on a thread of tropes of combat if I made one?

    1. Jar-Kai Marek

      Jar-Kai Marek

      Also which of those 2 places would be better to stick it?

    2. Combat

      Combat

      If those are tropes, would it go in Gaming General? It wouldn't go in RP for sure, and it depends on how you write it.

  14. I also finished the game a week or two ago, and I found these guys to be somewhat helpful. GARDEVOIR - I used an odd set for a while utilizing Calm Mind and Draining Kiss that turned her into a self-sufficient tank on special-oriented teams. Pretty much helped me win the battle against the Dark leader. NIDOKING - Sheer Force (when you can get it) kinda helped me through some battles by muscling through. You have a couple decent moves to take advantage of like Sludge Wave and Earth Power. Same regards go to NIDOQUEEN in a way. STEELIX - Good lord it has a decent amount of utility for Singles. It is definitely your "diamond in the rough" because you can either run a Sturdy set with Rocks for those annoying Gyms like the Fire and Flying ones (sort of) or you can run a Curse Sheer Force version. It's an amazing physical wall and has a respectable 85 Atk. Also Gyro Ball. And coupled with EQ and a Fang or Rock move, you got some decent coverage. ROTOM - If you wanna bother going through that event, it'd be worth your time. But Rotom is merely Rotom, since you can change forms, but I forgot where. MACHAMP - RN-Jesus + No Guard Dynamic Punch = Amazing. BARBARACLE - Best Shell Smash user I believe we can get. Easily a "diamond in the rough" with roughly 5 types of good coverage to it via TMs and natural moveset (I think).
  15. I feel kinda lazy if frequent use of dank memes and bad jokes are two of the easiest ways to be "accepted" around here.

      Go with sincerity, it's easy to pull off.

    3. Alchemia Chan

      Alchemia Chan

      Do people even use the Discord Server?

    4. Chevaleresse

      Chevaleresse

      yes, at least now that people know it exists

  16. If you're there, you should be somewhere around the Ghost guy or Poison girl. Gardevoir will be a somewhat important tool in some fights for the rotation with a Calm Mind + Draining Kiss tank at your disposal. I thought you could get a fairly useful Pokemon from the casino (Trapinch maybe), but either way those are 2 decent things.
  17. Term paper. Term paper. Need to do you right now, but you can screw off till tomorrow.

  18. Judging on the Gyms you have left and potentially known E4 members, Escavalier would probably be a better choice. Also Trick Room exists for those annoying as hell Double battles you will definitely face, making Escavalier all the more strong under it's effects.
  19. I'd have something a little like this. The one team I carried all the way through Black 2 and stuck with me till I sorta retired. I'm also rebuilding this team in Alpha Sapphire to much success right now. If I had to include a Mega for this team, it'd probably be Metagross over Salamence. Although I'd probably stick with normal forms since I'm still kinda in the anti-Mega camp right now.
  20. Thanks mde for the information. I know what you mean, when I introduce guys back into Yugioh. It's a little rough explaining to them the changes and whatnot. Also thanks Lugruf for the intro. I might hit either of you up if I got further questions.
  21. So when I look at this community search bar and this status bar, have people gotten them things confused before?

      Starting off with a Mew pun, nice!

      If you make puns, then you are welcome all the more.

  23. How are you people of Reborn doing? The name's Jar-Kai Marek, although you should shorten it to just Marek if you wanna refer to me, for simplicity reasons. So anyways, on to this introduction of mine. I hail from the United States of America, and pride myself on my nationality, although I've noticed some don't toot their own horn, but whatever. I was once an avid Pokemon player in my earlier teenage years on a journey through Unova. I competed in the Pokemon Video Game Championships in Houston and Long Beach in the Seniors Division though sadly never topped at those events (my best day being 6-4) and made okay friends with a then up-and-coming player named Cybertron (or Aaron Zheng I think his real name was). I hadn't picked up a Pokemon game since Black or White 2 until recently because a good friend of mine coaxed me into getting back into Pokemon when Sun and Moon come around, so I picked up a 3DS and caught up with the current 6th generation mechanics like Mega Evolution, Fairy types, and other assorted tweaks here and there. As a Pokemon player, I take a natural preference to Fire, Steel, Poison, and Fighting types, as some of the more renowned Pokemon (in my opnion) held one of these types. I like to play Singles, Doubles, and Triples, and despise Rotations (like I bet everyone else does) and like to play hyper or balanced offense. My favorite 3 Pokemon have to be Metagross, Infernape, and Tentacruel (which I managed to end up with through my run) I got here because my same friend told me about this game called Pokemon Reborn, so I looked it up and played it through. I sort of liked the game, just enough to keep me playing it, with enough difficulty and content to keep me busy for some time. The game, while definitely hard at times, never made me tear my hair out, like some others I've talked to this game about. Anyways, besides Pokemon, I played A LOT of Magic and Yugioh during my 3 year break and watched, read, and played a lot of Star Wars related media. I do like to roleplay and cosplay quite a bit. I'm no savant at writing, but I do pride myself on world building in what little roleplay I created myself. While I do indoor things quite a bit, I do like to go fishing, camping, or walking when I'm not sat up in front of my computer. I'm currently going to community college to major an AS in Counseling and Human Services and hopefully I'll move on to the University of South Florida from there to get a Bachelor's or Master's in Psych. Always found a soft spot for being a shoulder to cry on, an open ear, or a caring soul for certain people, so I suppose that's something worth making a career out of. Anyways, I hope I get acquainted with a couple of you Reborn folks, and I bid you all a fair day for the time being, and a song I love to jam to if you're interested in hearing it:
