Just from V9 to V11, so much changed (all/most for the better)

as someone who has seen (a small part) of v2 firsthand- rejuv has evolved amazingly. it went from a pretty horrid game to what i personally consider to currently be the best fangame out, by a longshot.

at least normal gives you options...

No, I see many people with this problem, myself included.   That's part the reason I'm finally doing a second run through, since I barely remember the names of anyone outside the main cast.  I remember the general events up to V10, but the specifics are beyond me.

Sounds fun

Well, since smoochum is a baby pokemon, all of which are programmed to have at least 3 perfect IVs, the chances are much higher than they are for most species.  ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

On the bright side, the unfortunate part of this situation is one that can be fixed later, right?

though i did not know that (and it explains the 31hp) it still sickens me that after struggling through a level 50-something beartic using pokes in the mid-high 30s, my reward is -spe +def. 

Personally I don't mind it and have done it in the past. However, I either transfered something from another safe or used a mod/debug to create/change a mon.

I personally think it's fine especially for types that have a small selection early game. And yeah shelly is the monorun monster lol. 

people usually do this anyway for monoruns so I think it's fair game

ooo and what are you waiting for? someone's going to trade you a starter?

need someone to hack me in a sneasel starter. i requested in the thread but its obv taking awhile. people are busy i guess.

I see I see, patience is key  I'm sure someone will get to your save soon enough

Sneaseal (Later Weavile), A-Sandshrew (Later Sandslash), and Glaceon are my personal opinion.

i can get a-shrew fairly early though and glaceon isnt as good as people think. sneasel could work though 

different types can focus on strategies that otherwise wouldnt work on regular teams which is why i thought of it. ice for example can abuse hail and blizzard as well as aurora veil and some nice abilities like snow cloak and slush rush. ground rock or steel could abuse sandstorm, fire has sun, water has rain. types like electric or flying can potentially be great in doubles by using wide moves like bulldoze or discharge that dont affect their partners at all. there's tons of options.

Yeah, do it then. Reborn is a near perfect game imo for trying out a Monotype as you're even more than before required to try out options you hadn't used before and synergize them. Field interactions also make it extra fun.

Once I actually finish a normal run of Reborn I soo want to do a steel mono, if only because it's my favorite type. I'd highly recommend a mono!

Dude congratz. When I get to beldum in my run, I'm almost certainly going to reset until I get a shiny.

I remember having experienced the same thing with Spiritomb in my first run. It was sheer luck, no more, no less.

Hoho, now that's relatable.
