  1. I am curios of one thing ( and forgive me if it was asked in this thread before, I didn't checked all the pages, I'm half asleep as it is right now ) that might/might not be added into the game. As the game is like Emerald, as it says on the Pokemon Reborn page, I was curious if we'd have a secret base of sorts. 

    In Emerald, you had to hunt these wall markings and use Secret Power to open them. In Reborn, I thought it will be incorporated later in the main story, as the secret base mechanic was pretty major ( for me at least, as I love decorating my bases with all the plushies, leaving only 1 space open to take one step ). I figure adding the code to make wall markings open, and to reset the old base if you open a new one is a bother. So, as a friend said in an old post of his, a good space could be the rail cart we get when we arrive in the Scrapyard, form Europa ( I got Taka with me when we got the cart, and as Taka is one of my fav Characters, I grew a little attached to the old rusty thing ) with another Department Store being specially focused on furniture and decorations, or upgrades such as expanding or at least repairing the thing.

  2. @Tribey, my dear co-theorist, you've reminded me of Gothitelle ! 

    I'll go in depth later, in another theory. 

    Also, don't forget what the Medium, Miss Direction says when you speak to her after you return her crystal ball ( Spoink quest ):
    "What I see in your future...is hard for me to understand.

    It is a future where you do not exist.

    It is a future where there were never any traces of you existing."

    I know it's a lot more, as she talks about the city and other people , I'll make a theory about that in a few weeks, but the passage about us gave me chills. 

    If the club application passes, I'll dive deeper in another post there.

     

  3. If you didn't read part 1, click here.

     

    Hello dear readers, here I am for part 2 of my Sneak Peek Theory.

    Last time, we established that the message could be from someone in love, almost obsessed with the particular person. 

     

    "I will always love you more than she, or anyone else, ever could".

     

    Last time, I tried to establish that it was a message from beyond the graaave!

    I had a theory in mind, which I was suppose to write it today, continuing from the one I posted yesterday.

     

    However...

     

    In the last post, as I was reading the comments, and some of you reminded me of someone.

    And I had a revelation.

     For me, the message now gives me emotional vibe, as it truly represents the love for one to another. But you can also feel some sadness. 

    Now, let's step back and think. Who is one character who displays no emotion in the entire game. Any other characters displays fear, anger, sadness, fury. And no, I don't mean Lin. Even she displays emotional superiority. 

    I mean Florina [ or Flobot, as Jacka$$ ( my nickname for Fern ) likes to call her, or Rini as Julia likes to].

     

    Let's step back and remember Onyx School. 

    You make your way through the school ( after Jacka$$ locks the faster route ) and you arrive to Floor 2 ( or 1, depends where you live ). There are 3 rooms open in which you can enter. In the first, you get the Coin Case for the Onyx Arcade, in the second you find the glitched PC from where you get Porygon. 

    The third, however, is the largest, consisting of 3 rooms: 2 dorm and a small living. You find 4 journals in this room : Julia's, Florina's, Titania's, and Amaria's journals, all in the bookcases. Reading Titania's gives you nothing ( as she expected someone to read it and left a mean comment ), Julia's just speaks of how she was made Captain Cheerleader and how Amaria quited, and Amaria's talks about her depression and loneliness, even after being made Captain ( Julia's entry is more recent, as Amaria's is older ). 

    Florina's however says the following

     

    "Dear Diary,

    This will be my final entry. The retention of emotions has proven veritably counter-productive. Irrational thoughts and feelings remain a sever detriment of work efficiency. Moreover, they appear to invariably breed scorn in those with whom they are shared. This writer has lost much on behalf of there turbulent confounding variables. Emotional excision has thereby been deemed necessary, beginning with the termination of archiving.

    Farewell."

     

    We can see she already started speaking in technical therms, displaying little to no emotion. It's clear that she is sad, as the diary contains the last

    time she displays emotion ( to my knowledge and memory, at least ). Julia said in her entry that Florina used to be shy. Now, she abandoned all emotion. But why?

     

     

     

     

    My theory? Florina made this message, she was ( and still is ) in love with Titania or Amaria.

     

    Put it this way. Florina, a shy girl, shared the dorm with Julia, Amaria and Titania. She began to develop feelings for Titania/Amaria, which continued. But Titania formed a couple with Amaria ( out of pity, we found out later ). This made Florina sad, sadder than she ever was. She decided to cope with this feeling by blocking out all emotion. We can see it in the way she talks. Even her walking animation displays mechanical-like movement. Most of the NPC "bounce" a little when moving. Florina just...slides. 

    Moreover, near the start of the game, in older versions, after the raid on the first Meteor Base ( where you're teamed up with Jacka$$ ), Julia says Florina "hasn't been the same since..." "Since Titania"- completes Fern ( that's how I remember it at least ). 

    This shows us that Florina had some degree of emotion, completely removing them after seeing Titania and Amaria together, not knowing the circumstances of them coming together. 

     

    Now that we have this theory, let's break the message down, once again : 

     

    "I ( Florina )  will always love you ( Titania ) more than she ( Amaria ), or anyone else, ever could". 

    or better yet:

    "I ( Florina )  will always love you ( Amaria ) more than she ( Titania ), or anyone else, ever could". 

    Now, the message could've been recorded in the past. This could be Florina's confession before blocking her emotions.

    The title of EP18 "Void-kissed" suggests this. In the last topic we established what the Void is : 

    Quote

    The Void is the philosophical concept of nothingness manifested. The manifestation of nothingness is closely associated with the contemplation of emptiness, and with human attempts to identify and personify it.

    The nothingness manifested. Florina surely felt great sadness, blocking out all emotion to stop the dreadful feeling. Her words, her actions display cold mechanical structure. No emotion. They feel empty. Nothingness manifested.

     

     

    So, this is my theory, and you accepted or not, there are some arguments you have to agree to, and I have no doubt you, my dear readers, have your own theories as well. 

    We will find our answer when Ame releases the episode.

     

    In the meantime, always remember:

     

    It's our job to Reborn Theory!

    ( I should to stop with the lame GameTheory ripoff.....But I won't :D )

     

    Thank you all for taking your time reading this and my last theory. I know it's not good structured, but hey, what can you do.

    I'd like to thank walpurgis , Lord Drakyle and Maqqy for reminding me of Florina, but also GS BALL for giving me another theory idea 

    ( that is, if you want to hear more theories from your buddy MadHappy. I'll post a sometime to see if you guys like my theories, and if I should continue making them )

    If you could, comment if you like my theories.

     

    And as a side note :

     

     

    Me and leo_the_greatest  have teamed up to give you a new group:

    Reborn Theory

    A group dedicated to theories of this game and maybe others. Only theories, coming from all the community members. As for now, the request is still pending. But once it's accepted and the group is created, I will invite you to join and make theories. Let's make MatPat jealous, together!

     

     

  4. Hello everyone. As I defeated Amaria ( Reshiram Route, got myself into doing Double Battles, which I hardly won ) and exited after Julia, the credits rolled. The sneak peak for EP 18 was pretty creepy. It was the following :

    "I w-ll a-ways l-ve yo- mo-e -han s-e, or an-one el-e, -ver c-ul-"

    It doesn't need an Einstein to fill in the gaps:

    "I will always love you more than she, or anyone else, ever could"

     

    First I thought it was Amaria speaking, since she is ( was ) in love with Titania. But then I started to analyse the phrase.

     

    It sounds pretty cryptic, like the one who said it was obsessed with the person the phrase was addressed to. The part "more than she, or anyone else ever could" could have two meanings : the person if either truly in love, or truly obsessed.

    The Ep18 is called "Void-kissed". In philosophy, the Void is defined as not valid or legally binding, or a completely empty space. But in Philosophy, the Void is described as :

    Quote

    The Void is the philosophical concept of nothingness manifested. The manifestation of nothingness is closely associated with the contemplation of emptiness, and with human attempts to identify and personify it.

    So the Void can be closely associated with Death. The nothingness and emptiness can be the experience of death. When you die, you become empty, and nothing.

     

     

    The style used was interesting. The gaps makes it look like the phrase came out distorted from something,....or someone.

    Also, there is a mystery factor: "I will always love you more than she, or anyone else, ever could"

    The Big question is : who is " she " the preview refers to?

     

    The answer:

     

    Tomorrow.

     

    This looks like something MatPat would be doing, so I'll chop this theory into two parts :x

    And remember :

    It's our job to Reborn Theory! (yeah...nah. No catchphrases)

     

  5. So, after 50+ eggs, I finally got my shiny Axew ( if any of you got a lvl 1 Axew from a player named MadHappy, it was me ) . Only, when it evolved into Haxorus, I disliked the color scheme. I'm not a big fan of purple. So, I made new shiny sprites. Transparency is added, so you can download and implement them into your game. 

    I have to ask, should I make Haxorus's plates darker?

    610sb.png

    611s.png

    611sb.png

    612s.png

    612sb.png

  6. Well, the list would go like this:

     

    Infernape - Jericho, or Y2J ( go figure )

    Shiny Haxorus - Taylor 

    Aegislash - Krivbeknih ( I know it  "Kremvh" would've been more fitting, as Kremvh is the melee weapon, and Krivbeknih is the book, but it sounds better )

    Lycanroc Midnight - Shepherd ( from MW2, a loose end )

    Luxray - Logan ( mostly due to the hair, reminds me of Wolverine )

    Dragalge - Hemlock ( the poison )

    Samurott - Zeke ( from InFamous ) 

    Garchomp - Cole ( from InFamous, also. I know he used electricity,  but heck )

    Archeops - Archer  ( I was watching "Archer" when I was thinking for a name )

    Metagross - Excelsus ( from MGR Revengeance, due to its 4 legs )

    Braviary - Patriot

    Pidgeot - Hendricks

    Mandibuzz - Sephora ( From the "Alien" movie )

    Lucario - Mayday ( Female ) or Richter ( Male )

    Steelic - Jasmine ( Female ) or Colossus ( Male )

    Swampert - Everglades

     

    And there are more, but I think these are enough.

  7. As I was reading a topic, I came to realized there isn't a club dedicated to the lore of the game. I am fairly new so I don't know how to start a club. I imagine you need permission from a moderator or staff. I would also need some backup, people that would support creating the club. In it we can discuss any crazy theory we might have ( like Game Theory on YT but only about Reborn ), bringing arguments why it's right or wrong. 

     

  8. Well, we find out in Ametrine Town the PULSE was created by woman named Evelynn Seijaya to cure her sister Lumina Seijaya, but she was forced to improve it by a guy named Zero, holding Lumina hostage. In the end, due to the PULSE going haywire with a Magneton evolving into Magnezone, Evelyn, Lumina and Zero were also fused, creating ZEL. In my opinion, the PULSE Magnezone you destroy in your final battle ( at least till the end of ep 17 ) makes ZEL split, leaving only Zero, alone.

     

    As for the PokeBalls, yes, they are Corey's. They are right under the wall, from which Corey threw them and then committed suicide ( and it became a Gengar for Shade, when he....IT came to take the remains when you first enter Lapis Ward ). Even Taka makes a reference about this ( if you took the Reshiram route by not battling him in the Water Treatment Center and you accepted to take him with you after you defeat him in the desert ) by asking who would threw them away, when you first pick one up.

     

    With Bixybyon is kinda interesting. My guess, it was the first attempt to destroy Reborn by turning it into a wasteland. Before Bixybyon, there was a normal Ward, part of the city. Now, due to the waste, there are walls around it to stop the waste from spreading. ( with little success, considering all the items and the tombstones you find in the wasteland as you go to the gym)

     

    And Lin, this comes for a theory form a user : http://www.rebornevo.com/forum/index.php?/topic/26648-my-theory-on-lin/

    Quote

    When choosing not to fight Sigmund and stay downstairs at Laura's place,Saphira gets kidnapped instead.This results in Laura telling the player a little bit about Lin(assuming it's the same person as the head of Meteor,which i do).The person Laura knew as Lin was a child a little younger that Anna currently is and was also in the orphanage like Laura.Laura was not fond of her as she would always mess with her.I think Laura has OCD which Lin would always abuse just for her amusement.At some point she pulled a trick on the doctor which made him angry and locked her in a room(sorry i dont remember exactly) and was never seen again.Some kids said she escaped others that the Doctor killed her.Prior to this when the player chooses not to fight Sigmund,after we get Heather he will say that he has no time for us  since a name he very well recognizes was constantly being used my the Meteors.When the player reaches the room with the Abra Sigmund mutters ''I'm sorry Lizzelin i wont get mad,i wont get mad''(or something like that,i dont remember exactly).Also Lin seems to know Saphira and she also mocks her bond she has with her sisters.

    Later in the game when we reach the ''Birthplace of Arceus'',Adrienn says ''...But almost immediately i saw a girl climbing up the wall,and then El and you guys showed up''

    Right before we leave that place someone that we dont know of says''HEHE that was fun.Lets keep playing together for a long,long time...Isnt that right?HEHEHE.....''

    We know that time is distorted.I think its safe to assume that 1 hour in reborn equals to 10 years in that place.

    So, my guess is, that power is regeneration or something like that. As Shade said when leaving the WTC, 2 destinies fullfilled ( Corey's and Kiki's deaths ), 2 can live ( Amaria and Lin, even tho we saw Lin chopped into pieces when inside Shade's gym ). My guess is when Lin regenerates, she enters a sleep phase, that's why she faints ( again, told to you by best buddy Taka, when talked to, saying she considers Lin sick, "I can't remember the disorder's name for it: it's when you faint all of the sudden and you wake up later all fine" , by saying they usually find her fainted on the floor, and later she is all fine) .

     

     

    I feel like we should open a club or something, where all of us could come up with theories and arguments about the game's plot.

  9. I don't know if this is the correct thread to post this, but heck. I applied for uni to Game Design and Production, and for the portofolio, I made a small game in Gamemaker 2. The only problem is that I used the trial version ( I won't spend 80 dollars to buy it ) and can't export it. If someone with Gamemaker 2 could find in their heart to help, the link to download the proect folder is down.

  10. This gotta be 6th topic I made today.

     

    Hello everyone. I woke up one day thinking "eh, why not make custom shinies". I posted some other works, well met by the community, so I decided to make them into a full pack. Currently, there are 22 custom sprites, front and back, transparency added. You only need to drag the files into the sprites folder. 

    There are a few, as I am one guy making them, and boy is it getting boring af just standing there, recoloring pixels. I might post some "HELP WANTED" later. Anyway
