Bazaro

Well I'll answer a few of those ever-so-eloquent concerns of yours. And I'll start by reiterating that these may still be suspect to change. Stakataka (Rock) Zapdos (Electric) Zeraora (Electric) Keldeo (Fighting)

Posting here since it's the closest thing to an announcement thread. Redemption will be taking a short break during the weekend of December 8-10. We're going to revise ourselves and give the leaders a breather. We'll let you know any changes as soon as we can, so stay posted. Spend the time with family or something.

Togekiss Shiny: No - Defog - Air Slash - Dazzling Gleam - Tailwind Togekiss had access to Tailwind before USUM, so this change can't go through here. You can use a Move Token for this, just ask one of the staff on Showdown or Discord.

So USUM is here and Showdown is right on time with the update, go them. Since stuff just came out and not everyone got to see the data leeks beforehand, we are delaying any new USUM content from going in Redemption until next week (11/24 - 26). NEW POKEMON Don't get your hopes too high, we're likely banning the new Pokemon except Poipole. Stakataka will go through some trial runs this week, but no promises. Zeraora, Naganadel, and Blacephalon are definitely being banned from standard Redemption tiers. If by some chance you want Stakataka (or Poipole) if it survives the suspect, you will have to restart to be able to use it. sorrynotactuallysorryatall. NEW MOVES TO EXISTING POKEMON So tutors and a bunch of other stuff hit USUM. Here's how this goes. After this Weekend's session, you will be allowed to make as many changes as you like to your Pokemons' Movesets for no cost AS LONG AS the new moves you are giving them are exclusively USUM only moves (this rule apply to Leaders too, in case there's some new move they want to bring vs you (((DOES NOT MEAN THEY CAN CHANGE MONS ONLY MOVES)))). Starting next Weekend (11/24) USUM sets will be completely legal in Redemption, and I'll leave this thread open to you lot. If you want to change any move on your mons to an USUM move (yes it can be more than 1) please post any changes you have to your teams HERE. You may not change Pokemon just because something else looks really cool with that snazzy new move, unless you restart. I will leave this thread open for 2 weeks time, until the end of November. On the day of that league's session (12/1) this thread will be locked and any future changes will require a Move Token as per usual.

From here forward, please take all Restarts here. Thanks.

I've never worked with sprites like these before how hard could they be Not sure how consistent I'd be but I can at least get a few. Is there a list of what's needed? Edit: You are remembered

N E A T O . I'll write what I can now, will edit in more tonight when I'm off phone General Info: Known as: Bazaro, Baz for short Age: 20 years old Gender: Male Birthday: May 31, 1997 Location: MURIKA (Ohio) Height: 6' 0" Hair Color: Dirty blonde Eye Color: Blue Lives with: Dad, stepmom, younger brother Pets: One super old black-lab-border-collie named Sally Relationship status: Forever alone Favourite Food: Burgers tacos and sghetti. How can I choose just one? Favourite Drink: lemonades and sweet teas Favourite Color: Orange Favourite kind of Music: Pretty much anything, mostly alternative and rock Favourite Band: I DON'T KNOW I'M INDECISIVE AAAAAAAA Favourite Album: AAAAAAAAAAAA Favourite Song: AAAAAAAAAAAAAAA Favourite Game: AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA Favourite Genre of Game: RPGs in general but also hard-strategy games. Favourite Hobbies: Spriting, listening to music, playing saxophone and bassoon, destroying psyches, swimming, solving puzzles, RPG Maker Favourite Movies: I don't watch movies much but the Avengers and Dark Knight series are pretty great Favourite Shows: I don't watch TV really but I watch animes? I'm pretty casual about it but I'll watch pretty much anything. Community questions: So, who are you?: Resident spriter, d a n k memer, self proclaimed philosopher and therapist, and prone to changing my attitude at the drop of a dime. People often feel estranged by my inherit unpredictability, but I've also made some of my best friendships here. Your call. I just entered my third year of service in the US Army, but I tend not to dwell on that little slice of heaven. Anything you're responsible for? Most of the Mega Shiny sprites, several Reborn shiny sprites, leading the Amazon Nation to second place in Pokenations 2, hosting the second (and third?) season of the Redemption League. If you had to choose one of your posts as your way to introduce yourself, which would it be? I never made a real introduction thread but maybe choice would easily be there Mega Shiny thread I made way back when. (Will archive later) What can I talk to you about? DON'T TALK TO ME DON'T TOUCH ME DON'T LOOK AT ME DON'T THINK ABOUT ME REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEjk I'm still lurking around Discord, namely the LoL, Competitive/Redemtion, and Creative Works channels. I'm a big fan of theory-monning (CAPs and the such especially) sprites and memes, but I like to think I can talk about anything. Tell me your problems cuz I've been told I make a good therapist, and honestly enjoy listening and reflecting. How I got into the community: So way back when, 12yo me wanted to play Pokemon online to be cool n stuff. One day he discovered... Pokemon Online, and jumped from server to server until he found a nice little hole to sit in: a small community called Mysidia. Unfortunately (or fortunately?) Mysidia crashed and burned. After a period of uncertainty, young bazaro89 found where several of the Mysidia members funneled to: another PO server called The Battle Tower. Then that died too. So sad. He kinda gave up at that point and went to some tiny 12-person server called Pokemon Reborn, where he saw some familiar faces. He's been there ever since mid-2011, and joined the forums in Feb 2012 to participate in the second season of the Reborn League, becoming the last champion in the Reborn Hall of Fame in season 3. (Will archive) Ties to the game: I've played it ever since the very first episode, however long ago that was. Several of my first real spriting works were for Reborn so there is a bit of personal attachment here. Amethyst's inexplicable hated for Budew: I for one stand strongly opposed to discrimination of Budews and actively support genetic splicing in retaliation. #BudewLivesMatter (Will post later) Closing statements? Be yourself, be happy with yourself, don't hurt others or prevent them from being happy and just be mindful. Dunk scrubs who deserve it, consume at least 4 souls a day, and don't forget to hate on Azery and Bibs. Have a better day than yesterday, and make tomorrow even better.

Where are the Hitmons at? Those 3 deserve this more than anyone else

Looks nice. Legacies are weird. The frontmost arm is a little wonky from the elbow up, maybe just check the outline and straighten up the top border a little? As for flames, they're typically wide and wavy, with wispy "arms" instead of one single bulb.

I actually completely forgot to give Despair Vivillon a shiny. Looks like someone already made one, so I won't bother unless provoked EDIT: Just noticed Mega Zam's frontsprite has a white spot by his head and feet. It's easy to miss stuff like this when you make a buttload of tiny aura wisps

Can we get it so Poll votes can be changed later (by the voter)? If you try adding questions to a poll after people already voted, they can't vote for any more questions either, and it could be solved the same way.

Added Porygon2 to the vote list. So let's discuss again. It's bulk is out of this world with Eviolite and Recover, can run powerful utility in Toxic and Trick Room, and gets strong coverage options in Ice Beam and Thunderbolt, with Tri Attack and even Foul Play to hit threats. It get 3 very versatile abilities in Trace, to use opposing Abilities against them, and Download and Analytic to get extra damage out. With 105 Special Attack and possible boosts from an ability, on top of Beambolt or STAB Tri Attack, P2 can deal lots of damage without sacrificing any bulk. A respectable base 60 speed lets it function well in Trick Room, while also outspeeding other defensive mons. Of course for challengers, choosing only 4 moves is a problem, with Recover and Ice Beam being on virtually every set run. Toxic, Trick Room and Tri Attack are extremely common as well. Due to being near impossible to one-shot on top of having an offensive presence, P2 is arguably the best Trick Room setter in all of Redemption. Many challengers will tell tales of how useful P2 was regardless. Similar to Greninja, Porygon2 when used by the Normal Leader and our Champion this Season can tune its movepool to wall entire teams. Porygon2 always runs Eviolite, so Toxic and Knock Off are the apparent best options here. Not everyone runs these, and they're both fairly simple moves to play around (Poison/Steel types, Heal Bell, Mega Evolutions, countless bulky Pokemon who don't need an item) Paired with other walls, it forms a near unbreakable team. Almost any hyper offensive team has nearly an entire defensive core in one single mon. Strong Fighting types like Heracross, Hariyama, and Conkeldurr can turn Toxic against it and hit with powerful Fighting moves, and certain setups are possible against it, depending on the moveset. It's not entirely passive, but it's damage isn't anything special either. Porygon2 will not be OHKO'ing things without a 4x weakness to its fairly obvious movesets. It can't hit absolutely everything, either, it always wants more moves than its set can hold. I want thoughts. EDIT: So polls are broken on the forums, so adding new questions won't work yet. Until this gets fixed, please just discuss.

Thank you everyone ^^//
