    Do you guys believe who Hyper Training and bottlecaps will be a part of the game?

    in Reborn City

    Posted

    Well, Reborn is meant to be hard and I`m not sure if Hyper Training is this necessary. Maybe few bottle caps here and there, but really just a few,for the sake of convenience. Of course, the closer to the end, the more IVs and EVs matter; I tried to ignore stats and just play with mons I like, it is possible to go through the game like this, but when I saw the difference in how my Gardevoir performs (in the story, not online) with and without proper EV training... Well, perfect IVs and EV-trained mons make this game even way too easy, but on the other hand you just can`t completely ignore stats. Even if E4 and Champion will be almost competetive-like, for me, softresetting few times to get just decent stats and keeping in mind you need to avoid overtraining, say, special attacker in defense, is enough. Especially when we got access to ability capsules and nature changer in 7th Street. Strategies matter more than brute force and outspeeding enemy here.

     

    By the way, while there is some fun in doing eugenics programs for IVs or moves, composing team to cover weaknesses, etc., in the same time I see how I lost the trace of the atmosphere I liked in Pokemon - you know, this is my monster, I caught and raised it, I fought leaders and went through major events with it, kind of attachment. Instead, they became soulless pawns, tools - this one is weak, so dispose of it and fill another 4 boxes with spare mons while breeding for better model.

    @example  Sure. Unfortunately, I can't do then. I'm on usually after 4-5 pm EST, which would be 9-10 hours after this post.

     

     

     

    It is okay, if I`m not mistaken 4-5 pm EST is around 10-11 pm my time, I can go with that.

    @example If you still want to trade, I have 5IV Vulpix w/ Extrasensory. Seeing as Corsola is a more uncommon shiny you can pick another 5IV if you'd like. c:

     

     

    Great, so Extrasensory Vulpix and maybe a Sneasel? I`ll be available online in about 12 hours after posting this.

    I got shiny Corsola and would like to happily trade it for Vulpix - shiny with good stats, or if IV`s on your Vulpix are exceptionally shitty, 5-6 IVs Vulpix would also be a marvel. PM me for details.

    Where do you find the first one?

    One Dark Material is in Subseven Sanctum, another one is in Iolia Valley.

    About mons: those you mentioned aren`t obtainable in a legal way, but it is not a secret people hacked mons into their saves and found a way to trade them away without breaking save file/banning online plays. All you have to do, is to request trade in Online Play forums, somebody will breed you whatever you want, for a prize, ofc. I got my Hydreigon, cos I like this vicious beast, tough I dont want to make the game too easy, so that`s all.

    I think there is actually a Deino available as of E16, but I think it requires 3 dark material

     

    Where did you find this info? How do you know?

    Spoiler

    On a side note, once I`ve read an article about how avatars (and characters in such topic too, I guess) we choose are who we WANT to be, not who we truly are, or even not how we want to be seen. For example, many people would want to be like Charlotte: strong personality, sassy and witty, making her own way, etc. Ofc it is not that simple, and it got exceptions, like, in-game Ame, even if subconsciously upgraded a little bit in a way how real Ame would want to be, her image is distorted by the fact she eventually wanted to remove her from the game, and, well, she made herself, technically she haven`t ''chosen'' any character. So the rule doesnt apply to her, as well as we could find more in more original replies, like @Ice Cream Sand Witch`s, or elaborated, like @WujiKyurem`s. But I`m not psychologist and dont want to spoil the fun, so continue, it may turn out interesting and funny

     

    But not humorously, I would choose Solaris, for many reasons. Maybe Corey, for another. I`m pretty much sure some people would say I got traits of Sirius, too (those cringe-worthy puns I sense here...). On a second thought, maybe Archer, the gang leader.

    According to a post on Amethyst's tumblr, Ame was made Reborn champion because she was responsible for setting up the Reborn League again.  She compared it to the Kakui situation in Sun and Moon.  Amethyst definitely implied she was not a champion level battler, since the title was honorary.

     

    Main source: http://amethystblack.tumblr.com/post/156306081887/did-the-champion-become-the-champion-just-because

     

    So I guess that settles it. I now think Ame (in-game) could make use of some more character development here or there, e.g. explaining the above, so we dont get hit with E16 ''situation'' totally out of the blue like that. Some small talks in Opal center, or showing up in few places; after all, Administrator should be interested sometimes what`s happening. I know it`s in opposite to (real) Ame regret to put her presence in the game, but just for the sake of consistency?

     

    Just out of curiosity and off-topic, does anybody know, for how long renewed Reborn league has been running before we arrived? Any timeframes? How long did it take to Meteor to start attacks, after reestabilishing administration.

    That isn't necessarily true, she could still be a very strong trainer. After all she was the one who brought all the powerful leaders to form the league again. Not to mention if she truly was weaker than some of the leaders and the E4, then someone would already have taken the title of champion from her. I believe the leaders and E4 have the right to challenge the champion for their title (at least in the official games they do). So at the very least Ame was the strongest trainer in the Reborn League.

     

    Sure, but if this title was honorary, E4 and leaders may wanted to just wait for the very first competitor, able to obtain the title in normal way, beating them all. Anyway, I guess somebody other was planned to be the Champion (Anna? Lin herself?), but when Ame saw opportunity to remove her from the game, she used it. Sadly, it caused a lot of... disturbances. Story lost some integrity.

     

    Fresh Start

    Protean Greninja isnt that great until very late due to lack of TMs, but still useful, I got him for my last playthrough. Charmander with his dragon rage makes early PULSEs and leaders totally effortless, 1-2HKO everything, but later his flying-typing is more of a disadvantage. Fennekin truly is suprisingly good all the way in Reborn which I liked, reliable and versatile starter, you may want to try it if you are bored with Fire/Fighting starters. That`s from my experience. Don`t forget we`ve got quick access to Growlithe, it can easily compensate picking non-fire starter.

    Actually I suppose i don't like Luna much either. She looks too much like Alice(or maybe it's the opposite), her battle is a bit forgettable, Iolia valley is one of my least favorite chapters in the game

     

     

    I dont know what to think about Luna, she has a potential to be an interesting character (friendly darkness, rare theme), plus I adore Iolia concept - secret valley filled with growing crystals, moonlight shimmering in the creek in the middle of it, caves - it moves my imagination. Sadly, except that, there`s literally nothing there, we just go inside, fight Bennet, fight Luna, roll out.

     

    If Luna has already done her part and will remain in hiding, well, this makes her only a filler and a waste of potential - I don`t recall any dark type leader from main games, nor another dark specialist having important, notable role. I guess she exists only to give a reason for Bennet to go rogue, this isn`t valid enough IMO, and makes her expendable - frustration from being a failure El tempting him to become an E4 is enough, lust for power, no need to add him pitiful rejected love syndrome, that makes player cringe.

     

    Only this rock climb path at the entrance gives me hope we will witness Iolia as a scene of major events to come.

    To be honest, I dont see point in making such rankings, since difficulty depends mostly on your team - for me, I`ve never had a problem with Charlottle (fight fire with fire), Aya, or Shelly, Noel`s Machincinogun troubled me once, but Ciel was always pain to fight, while a lot of people usually 6-0 her. Shade`s team is very versatile, but still moderate in difficulty at best. I`m glad to see Serra being reworked. Adrienn was simply weak.

     

    On the other hand, Titania on fairy field seems like a possible monster. Basing on what we saw during story, Amaria also gonna be troublemaker.

    Charlotte - insolent, caddish, hater, a little bit cunning. And specializes in fire. If I were to choose my companion, this would be her, so here goes my vote.

     

    For the other candidates:

     

    Corey - the more we know about him, the more complicated his situation seems. Tangled into mechanisms he couldnt stand, wife taken from him, daughter hated him in the last moments, he felt like he disappointed them, yet everything he had done was meant to protect them. Interesting, tragic character, unfortunetly, he appears (and disappears) early in the story.

     

    Shelly - all you want to do, is to hug her and protect her... and that`s all. She is a likeable, smart character, but I feel like she`s missing something.

     

    Shade and Radomus - hell yeah, they know more, they see more, they can more than anyone. And their enigmatic design. I won`t vote for any of them because I want to see outcome of their plot twists first - I`m sure we will be suprised with who (or what) they turn out to be.
