Thankyou
Hey there,
Actually, this isn't the right place to ask, as it's not really a bug.
However, here's what you can do :
- You can reload a previous save file, before giving the Unfezant and make sure that you take your Exp Share back.
- If you can't, you can ask someone to give you one, just send your request on the Online Play Forum, as it is the right place to ask trades.

How do you do, fellow kids?
In the latest part of my walkthrough, I mainly talked about the character Amaria and her arc and role in Pokemon Reborn. Since I have and had a personal connection to the topics covered here, I found her arc to be my favorite one in the game, or rather the most thought-provoking one. There were some thoughts I had to write down regarding the hate(?) for her in the fandom, but since I don't think too many will read them in the context of my walkthrough, I'd like to share them here, even though I'm extremely biased in these kind of topics and opening up a topic for such a sensible matter could easily lead to a fine shitstorm. I'm still eager to try, lets discuss!
So here's what I wrote and think about Amaria, Titania and the topics presented in E18: (Spoilers, obviously)
Amaria isn't evil -The art of understandingDepression and suicidal thoughts are a dark, dark place. Nobody, and really nobody who is seriously affected by this is a remarkably pleasant person. The fact that those affected not only suffer from their inner emptiness and senselessness, but also repel everything and everyone with fatal finality, is almost a part of the clinical picture, because it is usually extremely difficult for outsiders to cope with this behavior or to put themselves into the person's shoes. I know that myself, because I also had and have to deal with close friends who are in this very dark place.But it is perhaps more important to mention, and here I am getting a little personal, very unusual, that I was also in this dark place and almost wouldn't have left it. Maybe I never really did. But hey, I'm alive and well, which is the reason you had to endure this walkthrough for months now. What I want to say is that I think I can claim to be able to understand characters like Amaria. Her attachment and complete projection towards Titania almost resembles my behavior towards a friend at that time. My views on it are so biased that I don't really want to say too much about it, but I have to.As I understood before and especially through my research after this arc, Amaria is hated as a toxic, terrible and selfish character that pulls Titania down with her. I totally get this thinking. I can really understand this opinion which, to an extend, corresponds to the facts, whether we are talking about Amaria or a real person. But it's just part of the truth and what worries me is that I'm not entirely sure if Amethyst as the author was aware of that. But I strongly believe she was.This exuberant hate and the labeling of Amaria as toxic once again shows for me personally how much incomprehension, ignorance and lack of education still exists for sufferings such as severe depression, suicidal thoughts, loneliness and dependency. For someone like me, it is a self-righteous, unreflective and limited swarm attitude, one which you can see on platforms such as Reddit or online forums, when, for example, Forever Alones meet 'Normies' and the latter start giving advice. I shudder at the thought. But we’re moving too far from the subject. Simply dismissing Amaria as a toxic psycho-bitch says more about you than about her. Because, luckily! - apparently it is not possible for you to imagine yourself in someone’s shoes who has only felt emptiness and sadness all his life, has no human closeness and simply has no desire to live. I wish you that it stays that way - nobody should be there. But don't judge those who are.
Naturally, Amaria is almost psychotically dependent and clinging to Titania. Naturally, Titania suffers from it unspeakably and I think it's good that she was able to escape it in the course of the game. This is a terrible situation for both characters, as well as for real people in this context. But can you seriously condemn Amaria for not wanting to lose the only person she has, the sole reason for her existence? I mean, really? I'm not saying that it makes her more likeable or that Titania has to suffer for Amaria's sake. I'm just saying I fully understand how this character feels.It is perfectly normal that Amaria or chronic depressed people are PERMANENTly insecure and afraid that the few people in their lives will let them down, Amethyst has captured this very well. It is also normal, I say that from experience, that they constantly "test" them to confirm their loyalty. These are reasons why depressed people sooner or later push everything and everyone away from them, and they can - not - stop it.If this seems all toxic and self-centered to you, please try to seriously introduce yourself to a thought for a minute. You grow up and aren’t able to happy about anything. Not about sweets, not about games, not about nice weather. You just lack the ability to be happy, which seems to be so very normal to everyone else around you. You never had any friends and of course no romantic partner until the age of 30 and afterwards, have not kissed anyone yet, feel completely decoupled from the world and society. And then there is this one person who gets through to you and who means something to you and who is there for you and who endures your awfulness and does not give up on you.Of course you make them your whole world like a drowning person clinging to a piece of wood. Is it healthy for Titania or Amaria? Is it fair? No, but that's how it fucking works.
Yes, locking myself up to drown under water is highly toxic, psychopathic and unforgivable. But from my EXTREMELY biased perspective, I say that I understood her conflict and still don't judge Amaria for it. She is desperately looking for someone to blame for the fact that the only person she cares about is about to break away, and in her suicidal depression she doesn't think it could be herself.Yes, Amaria is psychotic and you can deeply condemn her behavior. Her suffering does not justify her actions. But in my opinion and experience with depression, she never acts with a clear mind in this matter, she is broken lonely, desperately addicted to love and paranoid to lose literally the only thing in the world that prevents her from jumping out of a window.Jeez, I don't judge the girl any more than any real person who acts on it. I just feel so sorry for her. Honest, sincere pity. And that's exactly how I feel for Titania too, who, on behalf of many real people, has the role of the 'anchor' and ultimately escapes this unhealthy relationship. Do I give her that? Hell yes. If another person overloads and destroys you with needs and expectations, leave her behind. Does it still hurt my soul for Amaria? Fuck yes. I impulsively hate and condemn the fictional character Titania for letting Amaria down, playing in the arms of her biggest and only fear and probably effectively sentencing her to death, but I also know that this is just my irrational brain. No one is to blame in such a relationship. Nobody wins. Everyone loses. There really is no good and evil here, and certainly no one to judge.
After all this is said, I would like to emphasize again how much I always appreciate it when a medium addresses this difficult and still very hesitantly treated topic in pop culture, as Amethyst did here. Amaria's and Titania's dialogues are written so well and understandably that I am absolutely certain that Amethyst has had her own experience in the matter and or has done extremely good research. This was all taken from reality on point. High praise, and even if it hurt it was my favorite arc in the game. And let’s also note the fact that Amaria reflected on her behavior before her gym fight. She is aware of all she does. There is just nothing she can do about it. What would there be?
I hope she didn't kill herself and we'll see her again in E19. I would really hope so. Otherwise I already know who, at the end of Pokemon Reborn, is no longer my very favorite character.And that too says a lot about me, I know.Again, I know how subjective my standpoint is, but so is every other who condemns her. I don't know if its approtiate to go into complex topics like depression, suicide and toxic relationships in the forum of a pokemon fangame too deep, but hey, sincere there already have been several discussions regarding her character here and the game inspires it, why not debate about it?
I'm interested what you think about my thoughts. Thanks for your time!
Hi there,
I will not write much, certainly not as much as you did, but I just wanted to express that your analysis touched me a lot, sincerely, and that I agree with almost all of your points.
In fact, you are not the only one to feel this way, and to have experienced what could have happened to you in the past. Actually, I did suffer a lot too.
I just wanted to tell you that, whatever happened to you, I hope this is far behind you, and you manage to taste life as ever.
You know, before leaving this world, someone very important to me said these words: "You are the proof that it is possible to live despite the pain."
You have no idea how these words have helped me, how much this person has allowed me to get myself out of the darkness, and simply to live for the first time.
And as for Amaria, she actually is my favourite character too, for the same reasons as yours.
Thanks a lot for your efforts and your time.
I wish you, with all my heart, the best for you in the future.
Affectionately ~

Unless the Daycare man specifically says they "prefer playing with other Pokémon than each other" breeding still works.
If that's what he's saying check that you have the correct genders I guess because there shouldn't be anything that prevents them from breeding.
Hey there
I don't know what happened the other day, but I retried few minutes ago and it actually worked !
Thanks for your time, it's really appreciated.
I wish you, with all my heart, the best in the future my friend

yeah there is, but you need her house key, for which you need Strength, and for which you need Aya's badge
Oh crap, my bad then

The Hypno should be extremely helpful, after changing the terrain you'll be able to hit hard with Earthquake again. Also you can Twave the Toxapex and then leave it alive while taking care of Aya's other mons.
Also you should relearn Calm mind on Swoobat, with Simple as ability it's really strong. (Move relearner is available after Aya though)
I'm pretty sure there is a move relearner in a house at Onyx Ward, so there's that

Oh, and by the way, I don't need anything special back, so don't worry about that !

Is the Buneary inheriting any other moves? There's a priority to which moves the Pokémon gets if there are more than four.
According to Bulbapedia Buneary's Lv.1 moves are Frustration, Defense Curl, Splash, Pound and Foresight. If it hatches with any moves other than those try deleting them from the parents to "free up" the list.
Well actually, my Lopunny and Meowth wont even breed, since they don't seem to appreciate each other well, as the NPC says

On 4/20/2020 at 7:53 PM, Gentleman Jaggi said:
There is no move called Bluff, do you mean Fake Out?
If so make sure your Meowth didn't replace it with any new moves it learned from leveling up in the daycare.
Oops, sorry, "Bluff" is actually the french word
Yes, I do mean Fake out, sorry
And Meowth didn't replace it, I just checked out

Hey there,
I am trying to breed a Buneary with Bluff.
To do so, I matched a Female Lopunny with a Male Meowth, with bluff.But this isn't working, and I don't know exactly why.
Thus, if someone had the time to explain me what's wrong in my method, or to breed me one, it would be greatly appreciated

This is my team for E19.
Blaziken @ Flame Plate
Ability: Speed Boost
Shiny: Yes
- Bulk Up
- Blaze Kick
- High Jump Kick
- Thunder PunchMVP of my team. Bulk up sweep works a lot, but in double battles, It isn't as good. [For some reason Hardy's Rampardos outsped it.] And its shiny is amazing.
Azumarill @ Wave Incense
Ability: Huge Power
Level: 90
- Waterfall
- Play Rough
- Rock Smash
- Aqua JetDon't blame me on that Rock smash. I don't think I would be using superpower much, other than occasional Bisharps. And Aqua Jet + Ice shard from Mamoswine wrecked three of Hardy's pokemon. I originally did not plan to use it, but it hatched from the egg. My egg moves[and moves in general] mod helped get Aqua Jet.
Mamoswine @ Life Orb
Ability: Thick Fat
- Icicle Crash
- Earthquake
- Ice Shard
- StrengthWrecking ball! I never though Ice shard would be so useful. Double battles limit it a lot. [I don't use flying types in my team.]
Tyrantrum @ Dragonium Z
Ability: Rock Head
Level: 90
- Dragon Dance
- Earthquake
- Head Smash
- Dragon ClawAnother sweeper that destroyed Cain and Shelly by spamming dragon dance as i heal it. MVP of Glass factory. A very late member though. I wanted to use Noivern, but my patience said no. [Kudos to whoever trained Noibat]
Durant
Ability: Hustle
Level: 91
Shiny: Yes
-Hone Claws-Iron Head
-Bug Bite
-Crunch
I did not use him much but I started training him for Hardy. I got Hone claws illegally though. Crunch helps against ghost types. And it was also shiny. Red ant lol.
Heliolisk @ Choice Specs
Ability: Dry Skin
- Thunderbolt
- Surf
- Dark Pulse
- Hyper VoiceOne of my first members and my surfer. Thought her Hyper voice later. Pretty good against Amaria especially with dry skin. Over all a good mon.
My other team members are my level 72 Cincinno and 80 Gourgeist, who were replace by Durant and Tyrantrum respectively. Is there a good spot for grinding? I also need to Ev train. Do you think this team is good enough for elite four?
Hey there,
I'm not in the mood to give advices for teams, I'm truly sorry, but I can tell you about my EV train locations, so here are my spots :
For Attack, on the route 1, spam the static encounters with Bouffalants, they give you a lot of Attack EVs with a Power Bracer.
For Special Attack, I train in the Pyrous Moutain, kill the Slugma, Numel and Noibat, they all give Special Attack EVs, with a Power Lens.
For Speed, I train in the Tanzan Cove with my Good Rod and take down Basculins and Luvdisc, which give Speed EVs, with a Power Anklet.
But as I remember, a EV Train guide has been made and is really well written, so go check that out (dk where it is however, sorry
)
