Today whilst playing, I maybe discovered a bug. When switching out and back to Reborn via Alt+Tab the game speeds up dramatically (like when pressing Space on the GBA emulator). When doing this process a second time, the speed is normal again. I do not know if this has to be this way or it is a bug and I have not found this bug on the threads before, so I decided to start this thread.
I hope I could contribute my part to development.

Finally, after months of patience and exitement for the new episode, it is finally here.
Before I start playing I just want to thank Ame and the rest of her fellowship for their hard work for making this possible. This is making my 2016 even better.
Because I want to play this new part of the story so badly, i kept the thanks very short, but it is from the bottom of my heart

Welcome to Reborn City!
-
Thank you all for these specific tips, tricks and tactics. Now the run can only be a success.
[...] It's immense speed adding to its ability to poison and confuse, with a 110 powered Acrobatics makes it a must-have. [...]
I can only add one thing to Crobat: Venoshock. That is one of the main reasons why i love poison types now, Corey showed me that poison can be really tough #teamcorey
. That fight (and Crobat from my main run ^^) convinced me of starting this run. -
You're in for a fun ride. Poison type is pretty viable as long as you remember one thing: Toxic Spikes is your friend.
You'll have several good pokémon available early on, but have few options to expand your team in the mid-game. But if you survive till the late-game you should have an easy time.
Make sure to get a Budew and Trubbish early on, those will help you immensely early on. And augment your team with Nidoran M, Oddish and Koffing before fighting Florina.
Toxic spikes, got it.
Thanks for the hunting list Tartar, i really appreciate it.

All these mono-runs that lose to steel
You'll need a nidoking/queen; it's mandatory to have even a chance of doing direct and serious damage to Steel types. A tentacruel wouldn't be a bad idea either, and a crobat or weezing, for the former can beat ground types rather well due to its surprisingly good speed, and the latter two can evade ground moves altogether. All three are good defensive options that can lay down toxic spikes and/or potentially use moves like will o wisp, super fang, etc.
Scolipede is an underrated threat that can dish out a lot of damage with its STABs if invested, but unfortunately doesn't get access to some of its best coverage without TMs or tutoring. Venusaur and Skuntank are always good ideas, and Gengar is an absolute savage despite learning no poison moves by level. This is assuming that you wish to obtain Gengar, of course. Gengar as well as Skuntank, and Drapion when you get access to it, all do well versus Psychic types.
Because steel has some very good advantages, which many overlook. ^^
Roger that. One of the Nidos and Tentacruel is definitely on my list. Crobat, when i can get my hands on a zubat will be definitely on my team.
I know Scolipede from my playthrough of White. It is really a good option which is better than I thought. Gengar would be the best choice for Mewtwo, but unfortunately that is only a dream.
toxicroak is really good mom that I highly recommend that you catch. It will be really helpful and prove its value in that run of yours
Noted it.

This thread should be a huge help in preparing for the battles as well as singling out specific threats.
Oh, and one more thing: Don't be afraid to try and at least scout out the battles. Sometimes you might be surprised (Like when I tried Samson on my run kind of a "Let's see how far I get and see how it goes" run. I proceeded to defeat him on my first attempt.)
Thanks for that, too.
That was my kind of tactics when i first went to the Pokemon League back in 1st Gen. After training I tested out how far I would come without using healing items, which is pretty much the same kind of scouting. ^^

Ah, Radomus is a perfect example of where you need to prepare. Yes, Poison is weak to Psychic. However, there are a few Poison/Dark types out there, handily nullifying the weakness. In fact, the Poison-typing also covers for Dark's weakness to Fighting, which Radomus has a few of (Superpower on Contrary Malamar and Close Combat on Gallade). Furthermore, keep a Nido in reserve for his Metagross.
Also take advantage of the fact that, despite Radomus' team being built to abuse Trick Room (Which is to say, everyone's super slow), he won't actually use it in most cases. Take advantage of that.
This is just one specific example. There are plenty of strategies you can use, and you'll need to use for the various leaders you'll face.
A Stunky would therefore a good option to catch early.
I did not know that his team is built around that, as I can remember he never used it in my runs.
But this specific one sounds very good.

From my experience doing an Ice-Mono:
Look up what Pokemon of your chosen type you can get and try to get as many of them as possible, especially those with dual-typings.
All mono runs assume that at least one of the dual-typings is the type of choice, so unless you're doing an extra challenge run, you should be fine.
You might need to use special tactics against trainers whose typing beats yours (In my case, Kiki and Charlotte). Don't be afraid to experiment.
Try to figure out the opponent's teams, especially gym leaders, and prepare appropriate counters. This goes double for teams that beat your type.
Thank you for these essential tips Anstane. A extra challenge run would be too much for the first mono-run.
As I think of now, Radomus has potential for a nightmare. ^^
EDIT: I just remembered the Mewtwo fight before Terra ... oh god, why?

Read, memorize it's contents, don't forget to use cheese to win your battles, focus on the strengths of your pokemon.
Cronos, thank you very much for that guide, that is the holy grail I am looking for.

Hi everyone,
it is been a while since I last posted here, because of work and illness.
But now I am back.
So I decided to start another Reborn run today, but with the restriction of only poison-types (dual-types are okay since it is my first mono-run ^^).
I have already chosen Bulbasaur as a starter and caught an Ekans. Important ones right at the start are for me Gulpin and Trubbish.
But my question is, what to do further, any suggestions from you guys? -
WHAT? Almost nobody knows Sound of Music there? Here in Belgium it's on TV literally every christmas!
That´s not quite the case here in Austria. I must admit that I have heard about Sound of Music when I was around 10 years old in The Pacifier with Vin Diesel. ^^
If any only the people in and around Salzburg could know about it, because it was filmed in that region.
-
Welcome to Reborn City! May Ames' light shine upon you.
-
Yeah, should really be that easy. Anyways good comparison, didn't thought about hot and cold. ^^Hi!
yeah should be easy don't you think: Austria=cold Australia=hot... How could one get confused?
Also we have got Sound of Music, a movie which is really popular but almost nobody knows it in Austria. xD

I set up my extended team for the challenges Ame will present us in Episode 16. Can't wait for the community release.
Thank you for everything Ame!

It looks like I am the early bird instead of Spine, so no boop for you Blue Moon. ^^
But I think now it is time for Spine. -
Welcome man! Hope you enjoy yourself, this place is pretty cool, new myself but everyone has made me feel so welcome, especially on the showdown server
Thanks mate! I definitely enjoy it here, everyone is so nice here.
Also welcome to you from my side, maybe we meet each other on the showdown server.

Welcome to Reborn City! Enjoy your stay here!

Welcome to Reborn City Amy! Hope you enjoy your stay here.

It was a really cool anime. But I think it was a little bit unbalanced eventwise.
There was way too much going on in the anime-exclusive arc (think the last three
episodes). In it I was really dissapointed from Yukio because more or less caused the last Gehenna
portal by blindly following orders without thinking, which isn´t really his style.
But the "twin blue phoenix" in the end let me see over that.
I am really happy to hear there is another season coming up to that. -
Jazzy?
-
I can do that too.
Debojit? -
Hey!
K_H? -
That´s really interesting Lugruf.
Good Luck with your homework Spine.
Lugruf? -
Then I catch and train up both.
Then I can still decide which one fits more in my team.
Thanks to everybody for the help.

Really cool feature Ame, i definitely like it for breeding and such things.
But because it interferes with Tab-Switching it might be an intelligent idea to re-toggle it, maybe to the numbers or somewhere near the quicksave-button.
