TyranitarTube's Pokemon Reborn Playthrough
Lucifer Morningstar replied to nepeta100's topic in Reborn City
I apologize for the double post but wanted to express some thoughts. I've just completed the Tanzan Mountain Team Meteor mission and am quite interested in seeing how Ttar manages with Pokemon Gargantuan and PULSE Abra particularly without Tiki and Belly. They're pretty easy with the right team/strategy, mine (though not exactly the one I had anticipated using) was wrecking both with my Charizard's Flamethrower with a bit of backup help from my Rapidash's Flare Blitz. I was actually a bit surprised that I didn't have a harder time than I did and didn't need any resets, but they could easily destroy someone without the right prep. Ttar only has one fire Pokemon to rely on since although he has that stolen Ponyta from the gang side mission, he's mostly forgotten the Pokemon still alive in his boxes. If he relies solely on Debbie he could have a difficult time and that's if he can keep her alive to that point especially since he's also gonna need her for Serra. Nonetheless, it's crucial that he keeps Debbie alive for the next several episodes and hopefully, he remembers that Ponyta. Admittedly, I almost did not myself, I just happened to scroll through my boxes and spotted it. I get the feeling that even if Debbie can carry both battles to victory, he'll lose someone in both. I think you kind of have to especially with PULSE Abra to be able to utilize it's recharge turns after Hyper Beam. I'm looking forward to seeing the dude freak and anyone who is familiar with his work knows he will, he does it hilariously. Circling back to Serra, I'm interested in seeing how he gets through that as well, especially if he doesn't figure out that he needs Earthquake or Bulldoze to destroy the mirror field (Earthquake Piloswine for me). -
Indeed, I am well aware of the differences between 'Police Found' and 'Police Farce' as they're officially called on the Wiki and indeed this is largely credited to Ttar as well as the comments on his videos. I found them all because most commenters said it entailed the better post zEL/Taka-battle cut scene (you'll remember Ttar didn't originally but was convinced to go back and do so by the viewers allowing him to provide both versions of that first altered cut scene). On that subject, I'm curious, does going down the 'Police Farce' route alter the Bike Voucher cut scene post-Aqua/Magma side mission since it directly references it? I'm not opposed to spoilers in this and other such cases as well because I don't know that I could get through this game multiple times, I'm barely getting through it this first time. The plot and battle concepts are fantastic but it's easily the most difficult Pokemon game I've ever played. I'll probably end up searching the alternate scenarios on YT at some point. FYI in regard to this thread's main subject, I ended up choosing to go upstairs.

Update: So this post at a site called SomethingAwful: https://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3856521&userid=0&perpage=40&pagenumber=153#post488615265 does a very thorough job of mapping out the different options and their outcomes and seems to suggest that going upstairs gets the most backstory so that's where I am leaning towards.
-
Update: I'm still looking a bit around Google and I am getting confused. Something is definitely wrong in Sirius's Wiki page: https://pokemon-reborn.fandom.com/wiki/Sirius The team I just battled was the team listed for his "Second" and "Optional" battle (level-wise as it's the same team both times) but I don't recall ever battling him before and this battle wasn't optional. I was never given a boss battle choice that I am aware of.
-
Ironic, I did that twice the first time I played the event out: - Right before Sigmond arrives - Right before Sirius arrives Both of which provide about 2 seconds that feel like they're going into breaks between scenes but failed both times.

I've just beaten Sirius at Yeruyu Mansion and have been giving two options, to go upstairs to rescue one of the orphanage group who screamed in peril or to remain downstairs to contain Sirus. Is there is right or wrong choice here? I've glanced through this older thread I found through Google: which helped me realize just how much of this event was reliant on a previous event which I did blindly, I think it was the Cain partner event at the abandoned Corp building. When asked if I wanted a fight in that event I said yes and battled him assuming it didn't make a difference, that the battle would be imposed by another character if declined. Other things I was able to grasp from that thread were: - Different choices cause different Orphanage characters to be kidnapped by either Connal or Sirius and there no choice that saves everybody. - Certain stories are unlocked with certain choices. - You get either Sephira or Lauren as a partner in a subsequent rescue event, decided by which one you get kidnapped. - Apparently there is one series of outcomes that are considered "canon". From what I've gathered the kidnap victims don't make a difference but I'd like to make a decision that gets me the most story because I like backstories and apparently I missed out on Connal's already. Does one choice throw me into another battle without a save point? I've had enough of that, I need to save. Sirius was a bitch.

"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. This is strange because you are the only one I will ever see such a thing for." This seems to refer to our character's having survived that train bombing in the opening of the game which should not have been possible. Somehow Ame had teleported us out or something. "An enemy of his own blood stands before him" could refer to a number of siblings in the game who are rivals in their own right: - Fern and Florinia - Cain and Aya - Cal and Blake Fern and Florinia are most supported. "During a time that this ward is still garnished with a deadly flora" particularly the use of the word 'deadly flora' whereas during that arc of the game I'm quite positive the infestation was referred to as 'plants' could imply that Florinia was involved with PULSE Tangrowth. She is a plant Pokemon user with a high technological IQ and a brain that functions a lot like a computer. She was also the one to send our character to the Jasper ward to look into the PULSE Tanagrowth project (starting with identifying it as such) and although our character doesn't exist in this prophecy world it stands to reason that she would still be the one to send the alternates and could have been doing so believing she was sending them to their demise. Look at me making leaps, I didn't even know about this prophecy until I opened this thread. XD This one is probably way off base but when I read this line: "And beaded hope breaks apart upon the tattered stones of a city forced to live up to its name once again." I instantly thought of Corey's suicide, how it traumatized Shelly who was working to match up to/surpass her brother as a gym leader.

Wow really? So that's super new then. I agree that Sword/Shield is rational as it's what's relevant right now. I'll be watching his playthrough of that once I play. -

That and he's got at least two other Nuzlockes in progress, Extreme Sun Randomizer and he's recently started another new fan-made game called Axis, so he has a lot on his plate without Sword/Shield, a lot of which is probably because from what I've gathered he takes the viewers' requests. I have no problem waiting for his next Reborn episode as the longer he takes to pick it back up the more time I have to get ahead of him which is what I prefer. -

Sweet and kudos to Ame for reaching out to him. I've not obtained either Sword or Shield yet, my birthday is still a week or two away and I am hoping I either receive it for my birthday or Christmas before I resort to purchasing it myself but Ttar does have some ridiculous luck. I've been able to beat just one Reborn leader so far in the first attempt, Florinia. I've even needed at least two attempts to beat a couple of the Fern battles. He actually did lose a main plot battle in Insurgence (and NOT a scripted one, Insurgence doesn't have any) and used some kind of clause to continue with an entirely fresh team from his boxes and at least I personally consider Insurgence a lot easier than Reborn though it is a challenge in its own right. However, he spent most of that game severely under-leveled even for entertainment's value and managed to only need that clause the one time so that playthrough was pretty surreal as well. -
Thanx for the 411 and the extra tips @Vinnieand @Starry Knight. I already blew one friendship point when I left the orphanage after the Shelly partner event begun because I'd lost three Pokemon to the Orderly before and hadn't known about the friendship point system until I read a comment on Ttar's corresponding episode. I want to avoid losing any more points for sure.

As the title suggests I've made it to Spinel Town, the first visit when you're supposed to be getting medicine for Annie but the PokeMart teleported to the roof of the gym. I read about another medicine quest in the Wiki that awards a Department Store Sticker. A woman is supposed to appear on a bench outside the Pokemon center, according to an old thread I found, specifically in clear weather, whom when interacted with is teleported away to the Chrysonia Forest where she breaks her leg and requests the player to bring her medicine. It's currently clear weather in my game, I even confirmed this with the television forecast but she isn't there. I've gone in and out of the Pokemon Center several times but she's not appearing. I really need that Sticker, it will be my fourth one, the one that gets me access to the TM floor! Do I need to wait until later in the game, like after I beat the gym or something? Did I perhaps screw something up when I changed the weather to catch the static Pichu in the Onix ward garden?

Some of his other series are worth watching. I've watched: Alpha Sapphire Extreme Randomizer Insurgence (still working on that one) Extreme Sun Randomizer which is also still a WIP and all are very entertaining. -

What up folks? So inspired by Belly's death and Ttar's call-back to the first Belly, I tried out Insurgence (Yes both his Insurgence series and the game itself) and ended up getting really into it. I'm now at the Elite 4 point in that game and decided to return to Reborn. It feels like it's been months though it's only been a few weeks. Anyway, I've just beaten Aya and have now started watching Ttar's two newest episodes. It seems I'm a bit ahead of him now as his last video right now appears to be of the impossible Solaris battle. UPDATE: Just as I feared, it seems he's not understanding the scripted loss and believes it's game over despite the continuation of the cut scene. Hopefully, he continues the game. -

Yes, he's used the impossible battle clause for the Hau battles in his Extreme Sun Randomizer Nuzlocke. -

Lucifer Morningstar replied to nepeta100's topic in Reborn City
Agreed, if he quits the Nuzlocke, it's gonna be on his own terms, when he reaches his limit because the viewers have been advising him to since the beginning so he should know that no one would judge him, which on some level I have to respect even though this is positive peer pressure. I must wonder as well if he continues the Nuzlocke, how much farther he'll be able to get with just one of his three pillars left (Kiki). I'm in the same place he is so I know little of what's to come but I do know there is a Solaris battle upcoming and if he's a dragon user as I suspect, Ttar might be in serious trouble. UPDATE: Oh shit. I just read the 411 on the first Solaris battle. It's an impossible battle that you're expected to lose but knowing Ttar he's not gonna get that right away and freak. Anyone who's watched his other series knows what I'm talking about. -

I concur. I don't know how he's managed it thus far. While most such negative comments are generally in-the-moment, considering from personal experience how stressful the boss battles in this game are even when NOT nuzlocking, this could be more serious. I vaguely considered quitting after losing to Shelly at least 4 times but the story is so well developed and compelling that proceeding to get it from a third-party source wasn't gonna cut it for me. For Ttar, however, particularly since losing Tiki, it seems to be just the viewers that keep him going. In fact, some of his choices in this game such as the stat war with Hitmonlee in this last episode, are so blatantly stupid that I'm suddenly wondering if he does stuff like that intentionally for entertainment or dramatization. That's the thing, in his case he's obligated to not only figure out what works but what's entertaining since he's playing for an audience. -

Indeed, the end of the Stockpile stall is a benefit to losing Belly. It also makes me cringe every time he spams Kiki's sand attack and then gets pissed when the opponent continues to hit. Accuracy lowering moves might be a beast on the AI's side but have been ass on the player's side since the beginning of Pokemon games. -

*sigh* Why didn't he just sweep with Karen and Wanja remained forgotten even though he actually went into his box to withdraw a new team member and scrolled over it! He didn't need a damn fodder Pokemon! He also wasted a lot of turns Stockpiling against Hitmonlee, he invited the thing to spam Meditate. Another death in vain as Tiki's was. Welp at least the timing was convenient, now KIki is his Yawn Pokemon. BTW, this made me wanna watch his Insurgence series now and play it. -

Or he'll have my experience and Hitmonlee won't EVER use HJK. After leading with Fake Out it would opt for Knock Off probably because I used my Swanna so if he uses Jacques rather than Kiki-- -
Probabilities for shiny Pokemons from Daycare
Lucifer Morningstar replied to Quasar47's topic in Reborn City
I've not attempted to breed in Reborn yet but I am among those that consider this cheating. Even if I had any idea how to use mods for this game I wouldn't. Now, I'm not gonna lie (I never do), I am NOT above using cheat devices but after my first experience with Gamesharking 1st and 2nd gen, I've adopted a policy of never doing it on the first playthrough. Running doesn't take hours, it's pretty fast actually. I hatched my Swanna in 1 or 2 minutes just running. Once you get to the Lapis Ward though you can get a bike from the old woman gang sidequest. -

I'm all caught up. I've just beaten Kiki and now am looking forward to Ttar's Kiki battle. For only the second time in the game I'm probably gonna have to start using Common Candies because my Swanna is about to over level from having been my Cal broom. That might take a miracle since Mightyena is weak to fighting but knowing Ttar's luck, it might just happen. It would certainly be symbolic especially since Kiki the gym leader collapses after the battle. Right now Karen and Jacques are his strongest players against Kiki, hopefully, he gets Karen evolved and leveled up. Shame he seems to have forgotten about Wanja, a Swoobat was my Kiki broom. -
Update: I got him. Mightyena and Klang did the job, albeit barely. Neither was able to outspeed him and I had to use a super potion and a hyper potion to keep Klang in the game through Mimikyu which interestingly just spammed Discharge the whole time, it didn't even bother with Swords Dance. He also changed up his order on me, he sent out Rotom second, Mimikyu third and Banette last.

I'm afraid to ask how old you think I am , but no, most certainly not. I'd never taken a liking to either line. This isn't the first time that has happened though. I have a Shiny Mudsdale in Moon that I had not expected to use much but he ended up being a key member of my team and is amongst my hall of famers.

Ah. I did with Pikachu but I've now swapped it out for Klink.
