[The Last, Only, and Very Final X% Hype Thread]

On the topic of field effects:

I think we all agree that the fields in E19 are going to play a huge role in the players approach to teambuilding moreso than they did up to this point in the Reborn story.

 

I wonder especially with the Nightclubs battle tower style fights. If the fields and teams are somewhat random everytime you fight a new trainer, should you prepare your for a certain field especially (e.g. nobody would prepare directly for an electric field, but youcould argue that you have to prepare for an underwater field or new world field)

 

 

[The Last, Only, and Very Final X% Hype Thread]

Do we know yet if the elite battles will be in a singles, doubles .. or triples format?

(or a mix of)

[Special playthrough challenges (Nuzlocks, Mono-Runs) ranking request]

So a challenge run ranking could look like that:

"easy": Differemt tactic teams (stall, weather/field altering)

"intermediate": monorun (e.g. type of the next gym leader), speed-stat-restriktion run.

"advanced": classic Nuzlocke challenge.

So before I will answer this in my way, I'd like to know, how your play style is. So for example:

 

Do you want to stall an oponent, and take him down with something like toxic or do you want to use the move stafette to power up one pokemon. Do you have some preferences like weather based moves and so on ^^ This will help me to evaluate your approach to this type of gameplay.

 

And would you use the mod pack for nuzlocke and mono runs? Or just the standard game?

Hey Jace3,

 

so up until now, I used mostly pure offense on the playthroughs ( like P-Z or sheer force Darmanitan), there was little strategical thinking behind it.

 

I never went with weather teams or stall teams, though that could be a challenge aswell, couldnt it :).

 

Hope that helps a little and thanks for your endeavor.

 

Edit: ..oh and i never considered a modpack before, is there a mod that controls the "challenge rules" of a monorun/ nutlocke run and prevents you from quote on quote cheating?

[Special playthrough challenges (Nuzlocks, Mono-Runs) ranking request]

Heyho,

 

I have the following request (which is mostly catered towards the experienced "challenge" runners of reborn)

 

For someone that never tapped outside of the regular style of "everything goes" in reborn playthroughs I wondered, which style of "special" playthrough is, in your regard, most friendly and which is worst for a first-time experience.

 

If you have some experience to share in regards to monotype beginner friendliness or nuzlockes and similar challenges, I'd love some type of theoretical ranking.

 

Thanks and have a nice weekend all.

[The Last, Only, and Very Final X% Hype Thread]

With all the pokemon (except legendaries) available, I doubt we will have many (if any) pokebattles on equal footing not giving the npc some sort of biig advantage.

 

Since as you said before, simply having a Hydreigon for the final fight is no feat for us anymore, hell we could have 6 Hydreigons for that fight (or 5 Hydreigons and 1 Pikachu if we want to keep things kanon).

 

So there might be a twist, maybe a pulse Hydreigon? Or a fusion of Lin an Hydreigon like with ZEL?

[The gender of Adrienn..?]

Trying (and probably failing) to be blunt but hopefully not rude:

 

A. We don't know, and probably never will.

B. It should not (and does not) matter, because in the end xe is still nonbinary regardless.

C. There are many people who are born under the binary but don't identify in the binary (hi yes hello), so assuming those are the only three options is incorrect and also rude.

D. Don't equate somebody's gender identity to their, uh, "mating" capabilities, that's also incorrect and rude.

 

thanks for your responses, everyone. And yes, the question was asked in a good faith and what is more important I think, with biological curiosity (edited the question).

 

As of now im reading a book about the evolution of sex.

in the book the author pointed out, that having only 2 genders (for mating purposes) is in of itself not efficent, as 50% of the population are ruled out as potential mating partners.

 

The idea of a third gender (again Im not talking about sexual identification but the mating propositions) would induce a very curious dynamic the the process of human evolution... but I guess I went a bit to far with those assumptions.

 

So thanks again and hopefully you take this thread with a grain of salt. 

[The gender of Adrienn..?]

Heyho durps,

 

 

Its been a while and I have a question regarding the evolution-biological properties about ... xyr?!

 

EDIT: Disclaimer! the question explicitly excludes the terms of sexual identity, as that is a lot more sensible of a topic. If you feel offended, please feel free to express yourself, as my non nativeness to English could cause some unwanted implications in the question ahead.

 

Do you know:

is Adrienn as a non-binary gender:

1. able to change gender between male/female. 

2. unable to 'mate' with either gender.

3. able to 'mate' with every gender.

 

thanks in advance :) 

 

[Is it worth starting a new run right now?]

heyho,

if you intend on going hard in the postgame it might be a good idea to start a run now, as quite all non legendary pokemon are available as of ep.18, which means the grind for your worlds best team can already be done.

 

If you'r not about these postgame struggles or regard a second playthrough after e19 comes as a bad thing then i would recommend you to wait a little longer. 

cheers

 

[The Last, Only, and Very Final X% Hype Thread]

I just started playing Reborn again. It has become a once a year kind of game. Even if E19 would have to be postponed further, the game as it is already is such a fun experience.

 

Going through every episode up till now (Started with episode.8) really exemplifies that old shaolin saying 'the journey is the goal'.

 

It feels weird but in a sense I am happy that the game isn't finished yet.

[Pokemon No one ever uses]

So for the ultimate challenge:

5 male Combees and 1 skitty ;)

[Pokemon No one ever uses]

Howdy,

How about all the kittens. You get them all before Florina and they are all awful.

-Meowth

-Purrloin

-Incineroar

-Eneco

And

[Lost my exp share]

Let me guess: You did the Type-Zero quest?

[If you had just a single Pokemon...]

Hey durps,

 

I was thinking about Reborn recently and which Pokemon I deemed to be the most invaluable.

 

I'm awfully curious, if you had but a single Pokemon to accompany you one a playthrough of Reborn (yes, I know that is virtually impossible, but let's pretend it would be)

 

..which one would it be for you?? 

 

If we keep legendaries out of the equation, I myself would go with...

 

Porygon-Z!

 

Reason being it learning Agility and Nasty Plot. If you manage to set up two rounds, I guess you might be able to one shoot almost everything.

 

What are your high runners? :)

[[E19] Thoughts and speculations (SPOILERS)]

Really, it's great to see the love for the plot and upcoming fights by you guys. :)

 

that said I'm digging into most of your suspections but one.

I do not think there will be a classic elite4 fight. Considering the deep diversions between the possible elite members, especially Elias vs the others, I can not imagine them just pretending everything's fine and we're all pals now...

No I'm betting on maybe 1 or 2 new characters making their debut in E19 as elite members.

 

[The Last, Only, and Very Final X% Hype Thread]

Good morning,

I feel it tingling in my boulder like forearms, and my red clown nose is itching. Will we be getting some spectacular new information about the state of the game?

The dev blog certainly stirs up the curiosity.

In my honest opinion, WE WILL GET IT SOON: episode 18.5!

Spoiler

18.5 if you don't know is exactly like 18.4... but in space!

What do you think, in which direction might the next news stream flow?

New music, spritearts or a new game mode trailer? Let me know,

Durp out.

[The Last, Only, and Very Final X% Hype Thread]

Hey mateys, are we still allowed to hype here, or what :-P

 

as for the Ep. 18.3 release, I'd love to know who of you was sucked into reborn once again for the sake of "testing" out the new AI. ;)

(...and how was it?!)

 

For myself, I'm still out here trying to circumvent replaying the game until we're all the way there.
To be honest it's getting harder and harder to not succumb to...

… the engaging hours of resets in front of Ditto in the blacksteam factory!

… the soothing rides in front of great hall waiting for my Mons back at the daycare to … *wink wink* ;)

… the meticolous, innovative, thought trough battle plans we all came up with to kill that Garchomp on the vulcano (bar prankster PS Murcrow - you nasty cheaters! :-P)

 

it will be a pleasure to just wait a little longer for as the joyful anticipation is often said to be sweetest. :)

 
 

 

 

[The Last, Only, and Very Final X% Hype Thread]

As I'm watching GoT as of now I'd like to ask you the following: what are your top 3 people most likely to die in EP. 19?

 

For me its the following:

1. Lin

2. Dr. Connal

3. Fern

[The Last, Only, and Very Final X% Hype Thread]

I personally will start all over again, once E 19 ist out.

 

And this time, ill write down all of the Meteor grunts names, so that fanfic writers all over the world may rejoice, as lovestories and rivalry between the Meteors may unravel!

 

.. but in all seriousness, one would argue, that if one now grinds all the way up to E19th release

1. You will be seperated from the story if you play it now and than wait for the last part (that will connect to loose strings) for ~1 year.
2. If I now spend my time maticulously crafting the perfect death squad, carefully considering the endgame fields like the Starlight Arena, I may find the last part to be a wash, when it otherwise would be a good challenge.
3. Also one might miss out on interesting changes made in the early- and midgame.

but ofc everyone should do, as he pleases, there is no right way to Approach E19 and the game in general.

[Six In The Chamber - A Reborn Challenge Run [Cancelled]]

very well written!

 

but hotdamn, taking out Terras ???-Type Mons with only 0HKOs will be a neckbreaker.

 

Are there any "tricks" for the lategame you're having in the back off your head... like x5 Destiny bond users + x1 'Giga Impact' Slaking? ^^

[The Last, Only, and Very Final X% Hype Thread]

Get well soon.

 

May the 'Morning Sun' help you 'Recover', as you 'Slack Off' and 'Rest' until 'Moonlight'.

But in terms of Pokémon you have to admit that some Mega Pokémon are easily as powerful as a legendary Pokémon. And it would make sense that you need to train your Pokémon a lot for them to be strong enough to fight and capture a legendary Pokémon. In that very same way it would also make sense that you need a certain amount of strenght and experience to control Mega Evolution or something as powerful as Z-Moves.

You certainly have a point. but seeing as we already have most of the Mega-Items available as of ep18, I'd doubt we will be restricted to not using just certain M-Evos/Mons all the way up to the postgame. 

 

In terms of postgame rewards, i'd love to have something like...

• a password that lets you play a nuzlocke or a randomizer
• a book with extended backstory for some of the characters like Dr. Connal or DJ Arclight or Sirius
• An adress for a donation for Ame and the staff (for non-members of course)
• A secret recipe for healthy muffins.

[Is Raichu good enough?]

Raichu is really hindered by its weak defensive stats, which means that it will faint from most attacks in 1-2 hits.
