Is it really that rare? Damn I got this BMIC selling lady the first time I played through restored Reborn.
The ice cream vendor appears everytime there is a sunny weather, but the she has BMIC in stock very rarely. Dont remember if anything changed in this matter along the releases, like, she has one BMIC every time when we visit her for the 1st time or so.

Nice - in detail, we have much more room to speculate for much greater inaccuracy. As for the general view, the above does seem like a highly possible, if not the only possible, path. I'd still place my bet for Laura+Bennet double battle tough. Laura's stone stands for love (and the relationship points would alter only his team members, if anything).

I agree on fire, it is really easy. Good starters, early growlithe, numel can carry you on its back really far into the game too.

Don't know the exact chance, but it is very minute. In all my playthroughs, I encountered BMIC only once and I find it the hardest thing to obtain in reborn. I know additional content enabled by it only from yt, lol.

Also, there are certain choices that (used to?) give you +1 to Anna and +1 to Shade, this is reflected when Anna hears on Taka's death/surviving. There are like, three states: 1. when she says everything goes according to plan, 2. when something went wrong, but it is acceptable (I think Taka dies, but Solaris got kicked at the Pyrous, but dont quote me on that) and 3. when she is terrified nothing goes the right way.
Now I wonder, what if Radomus/Anna plans aren't exactly our understanding of the good outcome? What if siding with Elias was the good choice - after all, we witness Radomus hypnotizing people, El's accusation aren't that far-fetched.

Hi All! Is it possible to disable the menu music (upon start, before starting/continuing the game) using Game-Z.exe?

She continues to be one big mystery. I don't even know how our battle against her will go. My biggest bet is the starlight field where her Jirachi will drop a Drac- i mean Doom Desire with 820 Basepower because of the field (don't know if that's the exact number so don't quote me on that). As for her Mega Pokemon i doubt that it will be Mega Metagross since running two pokemon with the same dual typing seems a bit redundant.
Perhaps Mega Lucario ? A field boosted Adaptability Meteor Mash can certainly be terrifying. Keep in mind that Meteor Mashes Base Power doubles on that field.
Meteor Mash in Starlight Field = 180 BP. Adaptability doubles that to 360 BP. That's what i thought at first until i realized that Adaptability copies Trace on this Field, so i guess we don't have to worry about that:)
So if it's not Mega Metagross or Mega Lucario then who could be ? Well i have third guess... Mega Charizard Y. How did i come to that conclusion ? Let me explain.
First off, it has great synergy with Jirachi especially on this field. Doom Desire deals additional Fire Type Damage and those will be boosted By Zard Y's Drought. And Jirachi can deal with those annoying Rock Types in Return.
Second, Solar Beam deals Fairy Type Damage and has increased Base Power on this Field. 180 to be exact. So yeah her Charizard would be a dragon slayer.
Another thing to consider is that her Jirachi might have Healing Wish. Why is this important ? Well aside from the usual "heal an ally back to 100 % and remove status" it also boosts the target's attack and special attack when used on the starlight field. So not only will her Jirachi deal a f**k ton of damage but it might also go out with a bang by healing and boosting one of it's allies.
Another Member might be Clefable. Yes i know that Noel has one but that shouldn't stop Anna from using one. This is another Mon that can abuse this field to no end.
Cosmic Power is an instant +2 to both defense and sp. defense. And just like Jirachi it can learn wish and healing wish.
Her fourth Team Member could be Milotic. Marvel Scale automatically activates on the Starlight Field. Pair that up with Recover and you have an annoying wall to deal with.
But i have no idea what the last two members could be. Maybe Minior ?
I know one thing: for her Jirachi, Im bringing my Houndoom with Flash Fire. Anyone has any idea how she can erase that one with Jirachi?

It was already explained that this certain order (e19 story -> starlight -> starlight demo -> e19 postgame -> e19 release) is the reason for the long development time. While I understand people being frustrated about long waiting, I don't understand hate towards starlight or the developers for that. The burnout with Reborn was already lurking in the shadows in the past few episodes, so I totally support the decision to give yourself some time off of reborn.
(Btw - really none saw that coming? xD this order literally screams "THERE WILL BE IMMENSE DELAYS WITH EVERYTHING". I believe the team expected and accepted the fact that there will be delays, but they didn't expect them to be this much.)
On a side note - the screenshot of starlight in the post gives me the ''early reborn'' feeling, which I take as a good sign.

Ame takes the role of Professor which is the old fart you forget about right away. Suddenly they are broadcasted to actually be someone really important...then they die. It's really anti-climatic when you think about it.
Thanks for that, I knew about the moments based on the real events, but I think you captured the essence: we had speculations about who the Champion is, and out of sudden, without any build-up, we get ''It's A-me!'', like, hey, Im the strongest trainer around and two steps later the strongest champion is gone, without us witnessing any bit of its power in fact. That's why I felt this scene is being forced. If this was, let's say, Radomus or Amaria, this would look differently.

Honestly I wish she hadn't taken herself out. I thought it was kind of cool.
I dont remember if she ever stated why she regrets putting herself into the game, nevertheless, without knowing the reasoning, from my perspective it would be better if she kept it as it was.

While Ame stated many times that she regrets putting herself into the game, I also feel like the way she got rid of herself seems forced. This could have looked differently.

As you mentioned, Greninja is hindered much by the lack of TMs/Tutors, and you will feel that until very late in the game. Torchic is an easy mode. Generally, fire starters are the best choice, but on the other hand, you have access to growlithe early in the game.

I would like to add that I am also having trouble balancing the translation and showing what was really wanted. An example of this would be in this part:
You see, the translations are either faithful or beautiful. The whole art is balancing it, so it sounds good and carries the original, widely understood meaning, as far as possible.

Also i started translating the extracted text file, just because i felt like it......and even though i translated somewhere between about 200-300 lines of dialogue by now, i am still nowhere...
Add all items' and moves' descriptions, pokedex entries - this is a hell lot of text. I'm planning to translate Reborn too, but as years pass by, life happens and I have less and less time - definitely a team is needed for that. I used to translate scientific papers (both ways) as a side job during my uni, but localising the whole Reborn is on another level. I don't want to think about working on Terra's lines. Also, in general, the names should not be translated - but for instance, "Florinia": this is so good material to create a gentle, better sounding name, I'd make an exception here (not to mention Shade, lol). The creativity is time consuming, and there are so many things like that...!

Considering that the EP19 story part is already done i highly doubt that Ame will change any part of the story. However, if Elias does survive the story somehow and is still around in the post game, i wouldn't be surprised if Ame may consider using our random theory crafting (or whatever comes out of it) for a post game encounter.
But in all honesty i wouldn't bet on that....
Well, main story line was finished, in case big bad powers came in and decided to make us disappear. Adding few variables, copied from Amaria's gym fight (she has two teams, right) and adding one more team to Elias doesnt need to be very demanding, though I'd understand if there are no chances for that.
Even better, if this choices were independent from those shade/anna +1 choices that are supposed to be leading to the best ending.
-
Virtues/Sins team we face could be dependant on our in-game choices. That's an interesting idea, I wonder if the developers are down to it too.

For the champion battle we will receive something special. Dont forget that technically, Lin is the Champion now. As of E4, it is Elias, Heather, Laura+Bennet, double battle (given the story circumstances and this garden-or-so field, it is almost certain) and Anna. The other options are Laura and Bennet separate (and no Anna), but taking into account the fields and the plot, this is the least possible. Alternatively, the spot in E4 remains the same, but it depends on our choices if we fight Laura OR Bennet. So or so, we have no other candidates for E4 left, unless we will receive some twist like Cal, Blake or Sirius getting into E4 out of blue, but this would be wrong if we take into account the characters development; there's not much room here left.

You forgot the nap on the elevator floor.
When I think of that now, I cannot recall any pun regarding Hardy sleeping 3 out of 4 times we ever meet him (except for the gym fight), This must be fixed before the final episode, definitely.

I've seen some posts online about players/fans seeing some benefits from the queer characters/stories. Have these queer characters/stories affected you in some way? How does it feel to have queer characters in a Pokemon game? What would you like to see in terms of queer characters/stories in the future?
I can answer all at once: as one of the very 1st characters we meet is gay it was somehow remarkable, later on I can only see the effect of these characters through the prism of story/design/depth, similar to my previous post. In short, as long as these characters are well-designed and fits into the story, I have no expectations towards them.
Do you mind sharing the abstract or at last the title of your thesis?

PSA: Everybody, we are halfway done
so only two more years to go, we are getting closer to the grand finale! -
A paper done on Reborn, that's interesting. Developers might be proud
What led you to Pokemon Reborn?
Once I stumbled upon a screenshot showing all starter pokemon available somwhere in the internet (some forums or 9gag it was?), decided to give it a try, mainly because original Pokemon games are targeted towards younger audience what has a lot of consequences to the gameplay, plot, topics covered, etc. Plus, the creators are very rarely listening to the fanbase and fan games tend to mend the flaws.
What do you think about the battle system in the game?
It is demanding and, unless you achieve victory by some cheap tactics or pure luck, satisfying. Forces you to make changes and adjustment for the upcoming challanges. Of course there is always brute force and 100 tries methodology, but from my point of view, the point of this battle system is to go out of the box - abuse the enemy's and its field traits, adapt, take a step back and rethink your strategy and the most importantly, it sometimes forces you (and shows you) that sometimes party members that are generally considered useless or weak, may turn out to be your ace and the trump card.
What do you think about the stories/narrative in the game?
That's what keeps us here for all these years, waiting for another chapter. The grim tone of the game finally utilizes the variety and potential that Pokemon world provides. The scenario quality has its ups and downs (I'd say with more downs in the later chapters), but still outmatches a lot of stories, professional or fan-made, that I know. Important thing to note: a lot of the characters and parts of the plot are based on real people and real events - I caught myself thinking about one part ''what a rather poor cliche'' just to learn afterwards that this actually happened.
In particular, what do you think about the queer characters in the game, like Cain and Adrienn?
While generally well-written and rooted in the in-game world (Adrienn is great, Cain even in his cringy and too much of a stereotype moments (comic-relief I guess) somehow still fits), I find these pieces of plot being slightly overrepresented - this impression might come from the Titania-Amaria story arc (lesbian couple) that in my opinion takes way too much screentime and weighs over the story heavily.
(On the other hard, since the very beginning we meet a lot of strong, meaningful and distinct female characters, while for big part of the game the only expressive, masculine characters are in the evil team. To put it into perspective - on the ''good'' side we have the whole range from caring Amaria, through cold Florinia, to caddish Charlotte (and the rest of the sisters, including killer-instinct Sapphira), while all males on our side (with significant amount of screen time) consists of girly Cain and child Noel. There is also Fern, who is completely unlikable character. I guess my above claim may be backed in this imbalance of characters).
I hope you share with us your thesis, or at last its ''Reborn'' parts!

Fern is likely going to help fight against team meteor once he's backed up against a corner in the interest of self preservation and probably be targeted from his betrayal. I have a hard time believing he would be killed and would be saved by his own sister
This. Way more likely than a redemption cliche. He will not die, and after all, it seems he really does care about Florinia in his own way, as mentioned above - like, he knows it would be much better if she was finally able to cope with her feelings. I dont think he would seriously hurt anyone by a direct act, he would like to be the best, but through a rather regular competition (in the school he was respected) or joining the power house. I just cant wait for a clash between these sibilings, the outcome gonna be interesting - Florinia applying ''corrections'' to Fern, or Fern actually winning at last.
Just listen
