So… Sirius is somehow getting even more serious, got it.

Substance is only so good without style and damn is this some style!

How will you be handling abilities?

I actually did a whole piece on that!

No thanks. I’ve got a fridge stuffed wi- *headshot*

I have suggestions for Mega Roserade and Malamar. Roserade: Ability: Iron Flower - leaves spikes every time Mega Roserade is attacked or is attacking. Poison type moves leave toxic spikes. Gains steel type resistances. Type: Grass/Poison HP: 60 ATK: 10 (-60) DEF: 90 (+25) SATK: 200 (+75) SDEF: 105 SPD: 140 (+60) Malamar: Ability: Inverter - as long as Mega Malamar is out, all type matchups are reversed. Type: Psychic/Dark HP: 86 ATK: 120 (+28) DEF: 108 (+20) SATK: 60 (-8) SDEF: 102 (+27) SPD: 98 (+25)

Oh, this is gonna be fun.

Would explain why the jukebox keeps on getting new discs out of nowhere. Now if only it could stop playing “What’s New Pussycat”.

Chilling out here in my Premium VIP cabin processing what I just heard over the speakers. Amazing is too weak of a word to describe you guys! Also I think I saw bluebert enter your room.

Oh hey it’s the train we start on! … wait a minute…

Uh, Terra- I mean, T3RR4? Can I get some help here? I need to figure out how to express my appreciation and gratitude for all their effort in code. … Whadd’ya mean I’m a simp? … Oh, so that gift basket from Lin over there doesn’t make her a thot? … … Go back to bed. Seriously though, you guys are amazing for doing all this, not just the coding. I’ve been playing since 2018 and I’m still amazed at everything!

Much appreciated, thanks.

Hey all! Everyone’s getting ready for E19 and everyone is trying out various teams for the grand finale. This is my team as of beating Hardy: Gallade: Galladite Leaf Blade Night Slash Brick Break Psycho Cut - Jolly Nature 252 ATK & SPD Justified Garchomp: Garchompite Poison Jab Dragon Claw Earthquake Stone Edge - Jolly Nature 252 ATK & SPD Sand Veil Milotic: Leftovers Dragon Pulse Ice Beam Toxic Surf - Timid Nature 252 SATK & SPD Marvel Scale Aegislash: Life Orb Iron Head Shadow Sneak King’s Shield Sacred Sword - Adamant Nature 252 HP & ATK Stance Change Mimikyu: Mimikium-Z Shadow Claw Leech Life Play Rough Destiny Bond - Jolly Nature 252 ATK & SPD Disguise Volcarona: Rocky Helmet Hurricane Bug Buzz Fiery Dance Quiver Dance - Modest Nature 252 SATK & SPD Flame Body I’ve tested this team out on several of the current late game trainers and was able to beat all of them, though I’m considering swapping out shadow sneak for swords dance and also giving swords dance to Garchomp. I swap out the two megas depending on what I’m facing. Either/or, that’s my lineup for the climax. Feedback would be appreciated. Take care everyone and stay hyped!

Oh absolutely! Will you be including the unreleased pokemon?

Decibel looking less pissed off and more tired now. Finally got some sleep while waiting for E19.

Make sure y'all keep tally of how many times you die to Lin! And Clawitzer.

I assume this and Marcello’s last post have something to do with the other?

Oh well. Can't be right every time. I originally assumed Euphie was Radomus' wife, but this definitely changes things for me. And yes, the Sprite pictures would be appreciated please.

I have a theory regarding shade. It's a bit out there, but I believe he is Giratina in Disguise. Even though Giratina has only ever been mentioned once in the whole game in Coral Ward, the two do share heavy similarities. Shade's actions and way of speaking are that of a nigh-omniscient entity, he has powers connected to shadows, he's a shadowy figure, and his eyes and mouth remind me of Giratina. There's also the fact that he barely intervenes, and when he does, his actions leave a big impact on the story. He saves you from the train crash, he directly progresses the plot after you beat him, he warns you about making the right decision in the waterworks, and he brings you out of the black hole. All of those actions coincide with Giratina's official canon role in the world, that being to correct any mistake that would, is, or has happened. The fact Giratina is mentioned at all in Reborn, since they have no official prominent role in the story, is also something to consider. No other character shares similarities with Giratina. Shade is also the ghost-type gym leader, and Giratina is dragon/ghost. There's also Shade's story. It could be that Shade deliberately humiliated that trainer so as to teach them a lesson, only losing to them on purpose when they changed, further supported by how easy shade's battle actually is. As to why he was so interested in a no-account trainer that was only mentioned once, and the ramifications that would happen if Shade did not stop them, that is beyond me. There's not much else I can think of, but you guys are more than welcome to add your own thoughts. Also, this is my first theory so feedback is appreciated. Lastly, shout out to uberle for making his/her own theory on shade:

There's also that small bit of dialogue when you first exit Arceus' tomb. It was that of child wanting to play with you again. It's not clear who said it, but all signs point to Arceus.

For Reborn: The easiest was either Corey, Kiki or Shade. Used nothing but my starter (that little story with Shade was definitely exaggerated). The hardest was without question Aya. I'm pretty sure I just won out of dumb luck. For Rejuvenation: The easiest was Amber. Surf's up. The hardest was Angie. I had to train a whole separate team just for her.

Focus sash Rattata? If it can slay both God and god-slayer, surely it can slay this. A Pokemon with Infiltrator maybe?

You sadly can't get Magby until WAAAAAAYYYYYY later in Calcenon City. However, when it comes to gym battles in Reborn, Pokemon that will give you an advantage are usually near by, so try looking around the Obsidia slums. You'll find Pancham and Scraggy there (Flobot's Pokemon are weak to fighting). Hope this'll help.

Assuming we'll be able to use them: PULSE Magnezone: Signal Beam, Thunderbolt, Flash Cannon, Tri Attack Otherwise: Mega Gallade: Psycho Cut, Brick Break, Night Slash, Leaf Blade Mimikyu: Shadow Sneak, Leech Life, Destiny Bond, Play Rogh (Mimikyum Z) Volcarona: Fiery Dance, Giga Drain, Hurricane, Bug Buzz Milotic: Ice Beam, Dragon Pulse, Toxic, Surf Flygon: Earthquake, Dragon Tail, Rock Slide, Fly Aegislash: Sacred Sword, King's Shield, Aerial Ace, Shadow Sneak
