  1. That's what I thought too. And as long as the content of the story is coherent and entertaining, everything should be fine
  2. Good news! Everything is done with the content of the next episode! This one will come out soon, very soon. But before to upload it, I would like to precise something about two points mentionned in the last comments. Point N°1: Luna's Age I referred to this page when I was quoting the age of Luna. During my writing sessions, I assumed that she might be around the same age as Charlotte. In her mid teens. Then, the age of Reborn characters has already been discussed and debated several times, so I would like to apologize if this detail has irritated someone. Anyway, I wanted to find a subject of discussion to make Jacques and Flannery killing some time, and in this story, Flannery was introduced to Pokemon battles at a very young age with her grandfather. Therefore, making some subtle comparisons with the age of the other Gym Leaders was something I wanted to try, so she could get impressed by how skilled the new generation is on Reborn lands Point N°2: Jacques' associates in Onyx Trainers' School This question deserved more attention from my part (Sorry for the late reply @Angelkitsune ) Actually, this was already precise earlier, and there is one thing to know about Jacques' relationship in Onyx Trainers' School: he was a recluse. Also, if you look carefully, you can notice that there was only one bed in his room, which means that he was all alone in the same working space for two years, only animated by his desire of knowledge and experience grinding. All this time, Jacques felt forced to become a sort of better version of himself to flee what he was in his past. In fact, he has always preferred to see himself more as a spectator of his previous life than as the main actor. Additionally, it would appear that Jacques has started his formation right after the end of Hardy and Fern's study period. At this moment, there already were lots of graduates from this school who were then nominated Gym Leader and they all turned into popular figures of the region later. All this explains why in spite of his talent, Jacques has only received the title of Reserve Gym Leader. To conclude, the only person we know who had heard the most about Jacques is clearly Florinia since she was like the main teacher for almost all the students of the school, Jacques included. Hopefully, Flannery can get some extra info about him thanks to her in the future...

  4. Good job! Starters are quite a scarcity to get through Wonder Trades I would recommend the following moveset, but firstly first, be sure your Froakie has Protean, so it can deal STAB damage everytime. Surf --> A good water move that will come in handy to you since many of the next Gym Leaders you'll encounter will fight in double battles. Extrasensory --> Don't say 'no' to a chance of making you're adversary flinch. You can rely on Dark Pulse at your convenience, but I think Extrasensory is a bit better, simply because you can fool your enemies by turning into Psychic Type and lure potential Fighting move users, which can't be done if you're using Dark Pulse. Grass Knot --> Same as above, except you'll lure Electric Type this time. Also, there are quite a bunch of Rock and Water mons, as well as heavy mons (Especially in the late part of the game), and Grass Knot is THE piece of the puzzle to counter them (Hello, Amaria's Lapras) Ice Beam --> You can't have it for now, which is quite a shame. But as a Showdown Player, I couldn't resist to test my current Reborn Squad against other single type mono teams, and I can assure you that the fiercest trainers you'll face are definitely Dragon Type users. Don't meditate twice, and teach it to your Greninja as soon as you find this TM. The thing is, Saphira will probably fight in the Dragon's Den Field which halves damage dealt by both Water and Ice moves. But as far as I know, using Surf two times (If you're still alive) can terminate the field. If Ice Beam ever becomes available before the battle against Saphira (Which I seriously doubt, but whatever), it risks to make things relatively enjoyable to you. Meanwhile, Dark Pulse would be a good substitute to Ice Beam until you find the appropriate TM. Recommended nature: Timid (Don't let anything nor anyone outspeed you). For info, you can change the nature of your Pokemon to any nature you wish to have if you trade three heartscales to the psychologist living in 7th Street. Concerning the item to hold, I'm a bit hesitant between Life Orb and Wise Glasses. I would probably opt for Life Orb since Greninja is a glass cannon and can hardly survive an attack whose damage are amplified by battlefields anyway. Also, it's probably better to get hurt by unbearable strength than by your foes Hope this helped! Good luck and have fun
  5. --- During this time, Flannery is still crawilng through the rubble of Grandview Station in ruins. --- And wow! Vanilla has clearly more guts than I thought. Kicking Titania to defend Candy is dare, and I largely understand her acting. As we might say, blood is thicker than steel Seen under this perspective, I could almost compare her to Saphira (don't set fire to me for this comparison ಸ_ಸ), except she seems to be less harsh than her. Also, it's nice to see Candy again. I remember when it was mentioned somewhere in the sanctum episodes that she once was the Champion of Hoenn, but I would have never expected to see her riding Rayquaza either! She must be an impressive trainer if she's able to do this! I wonder if she won't help Vanilla to get stronger later, or even have a fight with her further in the story ◕ ‿ ◕ Good job for this episode! PS: For some reason, the arrival of Candy in the circus reminded me a bit of the acrobatic scene of Winona from my own tale. Additionally, the couple of Samson and Ciel kind of reminds me of Wallace and Winona. I don't know why, but I like spotting details like these just for fun ^~^

  7. That’s absolutely it! My apologize for this confusion. Which means that despite those changes, you still can use Fire moves to deal considerable damage to both Scizor and Alola-Sandslash.
  8. Tania’s battlefield is the ‘Fairy Tale Field’. According to the info in your Pokegear, all your Fire moves will turn into Dragon moves while battling, and since Fairies are immune to Dragon moves, you can’t take Klefki down this way. I would personally recommend the use of Ground Type moves just for him, and possibly a Pokemon with Foul Play if you ever have a bad time against her Aegislash too.

      when is any kind of computer update not busted 🤔

  13. Welcome Ezlo! May your stay be good in Reborn! Kudos with the Master Ball reward! I would have never expected such a thing to happen to any beginner in this game, congratulations! Yeah, exploring a lot is the key to be well prepared for late Reborn stuff. And since you managed to make your way to the lottery, that means you already had your battle with Julia. All the other Gym Leaders are like her indeed; six Pokemon in their team, specific field effects, good moveset and special items to hold, especially custom seeds. As long as you know how to turn a battlefield to your advantage, you'll be certainly more likely to have a good time in Reborn, if you hadn't already. Anyway, the community is quite helpful, so don't hesitate to ask if you need something in particular. Good luck and have fun!

      My bad! Seems like I tried to make a joke, but with no success :S

      It's just that I like making the others believe that I'll spoil something, which of course I don't! Don't get me wrong. In reality, I've always felt contaminating hatred toward people who post things just for the pleasure of spoiling. So, you don't have to be afraid of anything like this with me.

  17. Hey! You've done an interesting job until now! The truth is, I had some difficulty to keep up with the pace of your episodes, so I had some tardiness to catch up. I only managed to read your storyrun til the episode 6 this morning, so my opinion risks to be pretty hot. In fact, I really appreciated the depth you've added to this new run compared to the previous one. We understand better how the relations with James and his entourage are going, since it's kinda considerable in the end (Giovanni, Jessie, Meowth, his parents, Jessebelle, Nanny & Pop-Pop) and the fact that James won't have his Pokemon back in one snap of a finger has its impact too. Also, it was good to hear about a tension with this Geoff guy. It sounds like we can possibly hear more of him later. Who knows? Maybe he'll try something with Jessie (Getting closer to her, maybe? ) or set himself on James' road in Reborn. That would be quite exciting indeed! By the way, I wasn't expecting Gardenia to show up in Kanto at all either. That was a such a delightful addition as well as a very good idea to develop since she seemed to be one of the rare Gym Leaders who wasn't shown to be completely annoyed by Team Rocket in the TV show. She's always in love with Grass Type Pokemon, which is why James was immune to protagonist's grudge at their first encounter (Arceus bless this Cacnea). And you got me in episode 4. I was almost certain that James was going to pulverize the mansion of his parents To summarize, this new adventure is a very good surprise to me, and the differences with your 'Blasting Off To Reborn' playthrough are more than real and satisfying. Also, I'm still impressed by your work rhythm. Even with all the other playthroughs you have to deal with, you're still on the top of your form and I'm really respectful of that! Good luck with the next episodes, I'll stay tuned~

  19. Hello people! 😄

     

    How are you doing? I would like to apologize for having been so silent all this time! The internship I went through had drained most of my free time, and I just finished to enjoy a generous weekend of five days for Easter. All this to say, I'm happy to finally have an opportunity to explain clearly what happened those last few days, especially the boost of the progression bar of the next episode about my RP story (The Tale of a Firehead). For those who haven't noticed yet, there was a big jump from 20% to 100% for the story part. In fact, it's due to a decision which has been taken during one of my writing sessions: I voluntarily split the 15th episode in half and chose to create two separate episodes instead since it would have led us to a (very) long *ss outcome otherwise. But beyond the desire of creating something I'm proud of, there also was a short, but yet intense, period of mental breakdown. The feeling of living into an endless loop every day, the sensation of monotony at work, the lack of innovative idea in regard to what I already did during my internship... it can sound meaningless, but such a combination make you put yourself in question, and sometimes, it slows you down a lot. And I'm not talking about nostalgia: the time when I went to Croatia for my last birthday was so good and beautiful, and it will soon be one year since this happened. When I rethink of it, I almost have tears in the eyes. The sea, the waterfalls, the towns, the food, the weather... it was so short (4 days), and yet so unforgettable. Today, it's just as if these moments are far behind me, and I would like to do something similar and travel again. But I can't. And concerning the story run I've made, I progressively realized that I tackled the darkest part of it, so I had to take some fresh breaths to heal my mind regularly. But don't mistaken with my words. Being sad from something you write doesn't mean you don't like what you're doing or that your work is faulty. I would even say that literature (even amateur work) is probably one of the best ways to share feelings and emotions. Behind each episode, there is a part of yourself which is unconsciously reflected. And without knowing why, I tend to find these reflections appeasing. In other words, the next episode will be translated very soon, and be prepared for this as it will certainly be an emotional one. By the way, the 16th can await. When you like what you do, you don't want to put a knife under your throat to force things to be done faster, which is only natural. And everything that is good is worth the waiting 😉

      Interesting that art deco was used for the background whenever I see art deco Bioshock always comes to mind. Poor pikachu looks like coffee wasn't strong enough for him so he switched to other habits 😞

  24. Well. Overtime, I noticed that Ame's fate in Reborn was quite similar to Mami Tomoe's end from Puella Magi Madoka Magica.
