Huh, that's a shame. Was planning to replace my Grumpig. I guess Bouncy still has some job for now.

So, I have three questions regarding Beldum. First, is it still tied to the same puzzle as before? If yes, when was the exact moment I could get it? And third, how do you even put a data chip into the wasteland healing machine?

To those who do not know what "Set" and "Shift" are, these are settings in the Options menu. "Set" forces you to keep the pokémon you used in the fight after defeating an opponent, while "Shift" warns you of the enemy's next pokémon and allows you to switch. I wanted to know what do you people think is the better option? Personnally, I use "Set". While I'm fine with abusing fields, items, and abilities all the like, these are things that your foes can do as well, while "Shift" gives you a colossal tactical advantage. It just seems kind of unfair and unsportsmanlike to me.

I actually had a bit of fun in the Connal fight in the Fiore mansion (was it how it's called?). Basically, after Hell Bringer (Incineroar) defeated Musharna in the Psychic field, Connal would always bring out Raichu and attempt to finish me off with Thunderbolt. However, I anticipated this and switched for Crusher (Golurk) to negate it. Then, Connal's AI seems to think I'm going to switch back to Incineroar (which I actually did at first), so he uses Nasty Plot as I completely cruch him with High Horsepower. So yeah, AIs are smart and good at anticipating, but it can easily be used against them.

I always have the Heracross that I called "Rhyno". OP as hell.

Really? Is it only available once you get Surf, though?

The title is pretty straightforward, I think... Is it possible to mine a shiny stone?

Oh, I know, it is something like my third playthrough. I've just restarted again at some point, out of boredom.

That's true. I'll just figure out how to beat Charlotte and discover what's next.

Seeing that E18 was out, should I continue on with my E17 playthrough (I'm up against Charlotte at the moment), or should I restart anew, because of eventual changes in early game?

Wait... this sidequest actually came to an end???

So, Luxray, Unfezant and Carvanah, no keeping. Thanks! Also where is Carvanah?

So, I know that you have to do a pretty big trade in 7th Street to get it, but what are the other pokémons to give apart from Luxray and Unfezant? Also do I get to keep those pokémon or are they gone afterwards (I want to know if I trade my beloved Luxray or its baby)

This would actually be awesome! In fact, you just have to look to the numerous mods made for Xenoverse 2 to get ideas (like Mario, Sonic, Mega Man, Superman, Saitama, Shrek, Kermit the frog, Captain Falcon, Ultra Instinct Shaggy, Spongebob, Bugs Bunny and Jason Vorhees are some mods I've seen). If you want an excuse for Mario to fly, just give him a winged cap or something.

Oh. Well...

Who is that supposed to be? I do not recognize him...

Yeah... the famous Dragon Ball fanbase... You won't find a lot of reasonnable people in there.

It's okay, everyone has the right to have their opinions. I'm a fan of Dragon Ball myself, but I also know that the franchise has more than its fair share of flaws.

Yeah, that's kinda sad. Plus, there are the DLCs (that's often a part that should have been in the game, but is not not because... money!). Just hope that they make a true improvement, even if it takes more time to create. Also, a little off-topic, but... your overall impressions of my post?

So, with Dragon Ball Xenoverse 3 confirmed, I kind of went crazy imaginning what improvements could be made (assuming it won't be a year of developpement to release a recicled 2 anyway). I wanted to share it with you guys. Note that I won't add PVP content/balance. Story mode Seriously, there's a lot to say. First, I would like to see more than one group of antagonists, who would always act the same way. If we want a sequel to the first two games, these are three villain groups I would see: The Time Breakers For some reason, Mira would have survived the events of DBX2 and would have made it a quest to travel through eras in order to train and fight strong people. However, the problem is that by doing so he creates supplementary timelines, so a lot more work for the Time Patrollers. In order to not have to face the entirety of them at once, Mira would have went through different timelines and would have recruited some people who would have kinda the same objectives as him: Perfect Cell, Buuhan, Vegeta, Broly, Piccolo (from a timeline where he would have never became good), etc. The missions against them would be pure heated fights, against some of the strongest characters of the franchise. The final fight featuring them would be the fight against Final Form Mira. The Demon realm Demigra, revived, leads another attempt to restore the Demon Realm, this time by actually merging it with the multiverse. The would travel through time and deliberately alter history in order to gather energy from the timeline split it would generate. Some of their missions would feature intense battles, but you are mostly supposed to prevent the demons from fulfilling their objectives. However, at one point, you would learn that when you succesfully stopped them, they drained your energy instead to acheive the same result. These antagonists would also dispose of a lot of minions and the final fight against the demons would be against Demigra, with the help of Xeno Trunks. The Godly Alliance The most dangerous ennemies of the game. One version of Goku Black would have survived the events of the Trunk's arc of DBS. He would have searched another version of Future Zamasu and would have gone through different timelines to search for allies. These would be mortals, just like Black, who would help the Zamasus create their "perfect" world in exchange of being forgiven for their "mortal sins" and would become gods of the new multiverse alongside Black and Zamasu. Some of their allies would include: Turles, Lord Slug, the Ginyu Force, King Cold, Frieza (and a lot of his minions), Cooler (and his armored squadron), and Baby Vegeta. The final mission of the game would be against them, as a part of the ultimate assault from the Time Patrollers in a timeline where the Zero Mortal Plan would have already begun, in a devastated city. During the mission, you get to fight several of their members, before ending facing Goku Black and Baby Vegeta. Then, a mentor would come and help you. This is the mentor you have completed his lessons and have the most friendship with (or for the longest time, and if you didn't complete any mentor, you will be alone). After some time of fighting, they decide that they are outmatched and that they have to fuse (I was inspired by this:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XtpIH5ZCgY8&t=1078s) into the entity known as Baby Vegito Black. Then they proceed to one-shot your mentor (yes, even if this is Beerus or Whis) and faces you one on one. As the Chronoa and the elder kai beg you to retreat, as the new ennemy you're facing has a power beyond imagination, but your character looks at their fallen mentor (or the destroyed city if they have none) and decide to fight Vegito. After a short speech depending of your race, the battle begins. The character "Baby Vegito Black" would be playable, but in the story mode, your ennemy would actually have its health multiplied by ten and its damage output by 1,2. During the battle, Vegito would make a comment depending of you fighting style and if you use a transformation (see the CAC section below). When you actually put Vegito's health at zero, you would be trated with a cutscene featuring you and your mentor finishing him off (ex.: if your mentor is Goku, he will weaken Vegito with a Dragon Fist before you kill him with a full-powered and voice-acted Kamehameha) or, if you have not, killing him with your first Ultimate. Character Customisation! Ooooh boy! Lots to say! Races Here are the old and new races I would want to see in a new game: -Humans -Saiyans (Duh!) -Namekians -Frieza's race -Majins -Shinjins (the race of the Kais) -Demons -Android -Bug people (like the ones Vegeta and Nappa met before arriving on Earth) -Beasts (no race given, they just look animalistic) Body types these would influence what kind of fighting style you can use and slightly affects your stats -Humans: Thin, Athletic, Huge -Saiyans: Thin, Muscular and Fat -Namekians: Warrior, Dragon and Regular -Frieza's race: Royal, Assassin and Mercenary -Majin: Skinny (like Kid Buu), Super and Fat -Shinjins: Thin, Muscular and Fat -Demons: Evil god (like the royals), Scientist (like Towa) and Bestial (like the beasts, but more terrifying-looking) -Android: Mechanical, Cyborg and Bio-Android -Bug people: Beetlebug (equivalent of fat), Ant/Wasp (equivalent of thin) and Grasshopper (equivalent of muscular) -Beasts: Thin, Muscular and Fat Fighting styles You get to chose one at the end of a character's creation. It influences the way your character fights and the default skills they possess. -Hero: The standard balanced style Users: all -Elite: the standard long-range style Users: all -Beserker: the standard close-range style Users: all -Weaponizer: balanced. Your character uses the item on their back to fight Users: all, if they have an item equiped on their back -Aura blade: long-range. Your character uses ki blades on their arms, like Zamasu. Users: Thin humans, thin saiyans, dragon namekians, royal members of Frieza's race, skinny majins, thin shinjins, scientist demons, ants/wasps, thin beasts -Wrecking ball: close-range. The fighter uses their huge bulk as a weapon. Users: Huge humans, fat saiyans, fat majins, mechanical androids, beetlebugs and fat beasts. -"I don't even need my arms": balanced. Beating up your foe without the need of your arms may be the most badass thing ever. Users: all -Fabulous: long-ranged. As the king of youtube always said, it's not called being gay, it's called being fabulous. Users: all -Brutal: close-ranged. Want to beat down your ennemies in a spectacularly brutal fashion? This is made for you! Users: Athletic humans, muscular saiyans, warrior namekians, super majins, muscular shinjins, Bio-androids, evil god demons, grasshoppers and muscular beasts -"I don't even know... WHAT I'M DOING!": balanced. By looking silly and clueless, you will catch your opponents off-guard. The style still looks ridiculous, tho. Users: all -Look cool: long-ranged. In the Giny Force spirit, don't just fight. Make poses, move in a stylish fashion, look cool! Users: all -Claw carnage: close-ranged. Pretty simple, just use your claws to tear people apart. Users: Bestial demons, all bugs, all beasts (if they have claws equiped) Transformations There's quite a lot, so I'll just cover my new ideas. I'm not quite sure about the buffs/nerfs with each transformation, so I will just specify those I'm sure. Humans: -Human God (humans only): Goku's SSG form isn't technically a super saiyan form, it's just him using god ki, then we can make it for humans too. The appereance would worf like Super Saiyan God, but the color would be of the fighter's aura. -Full Power (human version): Like master Roshi, the user buffs their muscle mass, boosting strike and defense, but lowering speed. Saiyans: -Super Saiyan 4: Turns the saiyan into a super saiyan 4, with red aura. -Super Saiyan God (SSGSS as stage 2): Works like the titular Super Saiyan God, with great buffs in offense, but also comes with stamina drain. -Legendary Super Saiyan: The fighter gains 3 size and weight mesures (even if maxed) and their aura and hair turns golden-green. Comes with a huge boost in strike and blast, but an awefully high stamina drain. -Suppessed legendary super saiyan (like Kale's controled super saiyan): The fighter gains 1 size and weight mesure and their aura and hair turns green. The stats change wouldn't be as big as the LSS, but so is the stamina drain. -Super Saiyan Rage: Same golden hair as Super Saiyan, but with a slight white glow from the fighter's eyes and body. Grants a big boost in blast, strike and speed, but locks all skills until turned off. -Mutated super saiyan: A customisable Super Saiyan transformation, with customisable boosts, having to culminate to a given total. Namekians: -Namekian God: Appereance:(image) Frieza's race: -Full Power (Frieza's race version): The fighter gains 2 weight mesures. Works like an inverted Golden form (which boosts blast and speed, but lowers defense) and boosts strike and defense, but lowers speed. Majins: -Buuhan Transformation: The fighter recalls the long-done Buuhan form Super Buu once took and recreate it. Shinjins: -Kaioken x100: As a god, the fighter can truely use the full potential of the kaioken. Demons: -True Form: The demon embraces fully their demonic origins. Aprereance and stat boosts customisable Androids: -Super Mode: The fighter gets 1 size mesure. and their facial traits change a little. -Systems Overcharge: Makes electricity go through the fighters's body and enhances their damage output and speed, but costs stamina. Bug people: -Solidification: the fighter hardens their armor. -No armor: The fighter abandons their armor. Beasts: -Ultimate Fury: The beast unleashes its anger. All: -Ultra Instinct: Can activate after some times. Makes the user automatically dodge all non-super or ultimate move. Standing still costs nothing, but attacking costs stamina. -The Maiden's transformations from U2 (Ribrianne, Rozie and Kakunza), since apparently it's not limited to the original users of the transformations. New mentors -Toppo - Gives you the pride trooper clothes when you finish his lessons Supers: Justice Tornado, Justice Punch, Justice Beam Ultimate: Justice Flash -Ribrianne - helps you get the Ribrianne transformation once you complete her lessons Supers: Pretty Cannon, Heart Arrow of Love, Max Love Cannon Ultimate: Pretty Love Machine Gun Trio de Danger (Basil, Lavender and Bergamo) Supers: Wolfang Pressure, Poison Blow, Wolfang Penetrator (counter-attack) Ultimate: Triangle Danger Beam -Nappa (abriged) Super: Rock Smash, Nappa... SMASH!, Mouth Cannon Ultimate: Catch the Ball So, your thoughts about this?

Someone has to do something about the quote function... Commander I get your point. I like the idea of the main protag to be a bit of a smartass. I just thought that multiple protags could add a little more color to the concept of the main character, instead of always having the same guy or girl or whatever who just bombs into crashing Meteor's plans. It could also add some side stories (I know there are a lot already, but it would be nice to see the main characters get a little developpement). Our ideas are both great, and it's up to each one's opinion, right?

Sorry, Nickcrash, I wanted to quote you, but the quote fonction won't work for some reason. It think that the protagonists should be divided in little groups that meet from times to times. The focus of the story would go randomly between them. The groups would go as following: -Group 1: Alice and Ari, an ace trainer and an expert in geography and geology, two childhood friends, native from Reborn. They went on a journey to challenge the league in Alice's case and to learn more about Reborn's geography and geology in Ari's. They would be the ones most personally concerned with the children's storyline. However, they would not go as far as Agate Circus and instead would help with the reconstruction of Reborn City. -Group 2: Vero, Lucia and Kuro. Vero starts his journey alone after the traiin attack. Some time after, he meets Lucia, a personal pokémon caretaker and personal trainer who would join him, mainly because she thinks that meeting famous trainers like Gym leaders could help her extend her expertise. Kuro would be met at the Onyx Ward school and would want to put his knowledge about pokémon and field effects into practice and enhance his skills. This group would follow the typical way of the reborn protagonist, but less personally invested in other characters' personnal affairs. However, they would still take part in a lot of fights against Team Meteor. -Decibel: A loner, a former Pokémon Show performer who already began his career some times prior the beginning of the story. He came from Sinnoh and would be a rival to Vero and a good helper in time of crisis. He may be quite a goofball, but he's surprisingly good at battle tactics and puzzle resolving. As for their teams: Alice: Not quite sure about her, but I think that whoever she decides to take, it would be out of generosity. Maybe the Stufful in the beginning and a Bunneary? Ari: As a geologist, she would love rock and ground-type pokémon. I would see her starter as Swampert or Torterra. A few others could include Golem, Steelix, and Magcargo. Vero: The hot-headed trainer, would fit very well with the hot-headed Charizard as his starter. For the rest of his team, I imagine him taking alongside him strong pokémon (like Joltik in the begining, Shinx in the Arcade, Heracross in route 1, etc.). Lucia: For an energetic trainer, an energetic pokémon, Infernape! For the rest, not too much pokémon (as she is not primarly a battler), but she could definitely get some strong additions to her team, like Pangoro, Hawlucha and Rhyperior. Kuro: As a Pokémon prof. in the making, I see him with a competively great starter, like Blaziken or Greninja. For the rest of his team, pokémons that are competively good or can change fields, or other practical use. Decibel: As a former show performer, I would see him with a taste for Fairy-types. He would always travel with his Mimikyu like Ash and Pikachu. His starter would be Primarina, or as his nickname is, "Mr. Fabulous". He would also obtain some really rare pokémon off-screen, like Pinsir, Spiritomb, Rotom and Silvally. Also, about optionally winnable battles (against Solaris' Garchomp and El's Arceus), who would lead the fights against them and would they win? Personnally, I would see Vero battling Solaris and giving all he's got, but losing due to the huge gap in power. Later, I would see Decibel's Silvally fight the fake Arceus alonside other people and having their teamwork triumph over the false god.

I totally agree with you Jess! I had made a topic about it a while ago. One of the points I oversaw was the characters. I think that there should be a group instead of a single character, each based on one of the playable characters (Vero, Alice, Kuro, Lucia, Ari and Decibel) with a different expertise. For exemple, Vero could be the ace battler, who would do some of the hardest fights, and you would have Ari, an expert in geology and Reborn's geography, you could have Kuro as an apprentice pokémon professor and a field expert, and then Decibel, who is there to help however he can while being the comic relief, and the list goes on. Also, the story doesn't have to stick at 100% with the game. For exemple, let's say that Vero and Lucia went together on Ameritrine Mountain to stop Blake. The duo gets stopped by some Meteor elites and Vero deals with them while Lucia goes to the top to help Shelly and Cal. Also, the protagonists could show a lot of paradoxal feelings, like being horrified at the sight of Meteor grunts mercilessly murdured by Saphira. Also, the fact that protagonists wouldn't be affected by what I call the "Pokémon player bystander syndrome" (aka letting anyone go away, steal things from you or murder people in front of you) could make interesting turns. Let's take, for exemple, Vero going down the WTC to rescue Titania. First of all, I highly doubt he would let her slaughter everything in sight and would eventually battle her. Then, once arrived with Taka, we could have at least some kind of conversation between him and Vero. For the beginning, after the "Ame arc" where Ame looks for new trainers and stuff, we could get a nice close view on the city from the point of view of one of the protagonists. For exemple (I'm getting annoyed at writing these words), having nowhere to go on a rainy night, and sharing the improvised shelter of a hospitable enough hobo. I think that such a series should be balenced between epic scenes of battle (Duh, it's pokémon after all), a lot of character developpement, scenes of exploration (perfect opportunity to include a new pokémon to the group), maybe a little romance, and the major plot events must take themselves seriously and leave an actual impact on the characters. In the end, excelent topic. I look forward for more people to pose their opinion!

Tss Tss Tss... How naive are you, if only it could be that easy...
