Beaufils

Early game Ok, so early game is pretty easy until Julia. I didn't do the challenge for the Fern fight or Aster/Eclipse. I also probably won't do it for the next fights in chapter 2, but starting for chapter 3 I will include rivals. I think I will include all named Meteor fights from now on as well. Items : - It's possible to have Quick Claws through wild Meowths. So far, they're the only real useful held item available. Julia

Hey guys! I'll be doing a special challenge run, i will use this topic as my journal. Hope you like it The concept : - My goal is to beat this game without using strong pokemon to blaze through fights. By episode 18, we have all pokemon at our disposal....yet I can't remember on a casual run the last time i didn't use a top tier mon, even for HM slaving. So this run, I want to see how "bad" the pokemon I'm using can get. The criteria for "bad" will be the stats of the pokemon i'm using, the BST if we want to use the proper term. Abusing typings and field effects will be key here. The rules : - I will give myself access to all pokemon (through debug). - For each major fight (basically every named fight except very easy fights), I will replay the fights over and over with worse pokemons. - The goal is to use the lowest team in terms of BST that can still win. The Maximum BST in my team will be the BST that I track. This means if i use a Dragonite and five early game bugs, it doesnt count, since there's a 600 BST pseudo legendary. Therefore, I'm supposed to have a party of equally low stats pokemon - I will use items, moves and facilities I am supposed to have at the time of the fight. IV/EV training are available from start, they just take time. - If i change forms during a battle, the BST must be updated if needed. This mostly is about the megas and Ditto. - No items during battle - Set mode Banned : - Pure Power, Huge Power and Fur Coat are banned. They're basically hidden stats. - Shedinja is banned. He's way too good for his very low BST, and can still cheese endgame fights. - Smeargle is banned. He is also too good considering his move access. BST trivia - All BST are available here (sort by Total) : https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/List_of_Pokémon_by_base_stats_(Generation_VII) - The worst BST is Sunkern, with 180. (technically it's wishiwashi solo, but as soon as he transforms he's not anymore) - The first tier of pseudo legendaries (Dratini, Larvitar...) is 300. Their evolutions are at 420, and the final stage at 600. - Starter mons are around 300-320, their evolutions are around 410, and final stage around 530. - Lowest Mega is Mega Sableye, at 480. - Eevelutions are at 525 - Highest currently available mon is Slaking (lol) at 670. With Megas, it's Mega Garchomp at 700. Summary Julia - 198 - Ralts/Sunkern/Kricketot/Weedle/Caterpie/Wrumple Scrafty Gang - 195 - Sunkern/Kricketot/Weedle/Cterpie/Wrumple/Azurill PULSE Tangrowth - 198 - Ralts/Sunkern/Kricketot/Weedle/Azurill/Wrumple Fiorina - 210 - Cascoon/Azurill/Wooper/Kricketot/Magikarp/Feebas Taka - 198 - Weedle/Caterpie/Kricketot/Azurill/Sunkern/Ralts Taka & ZEL - 198 - Weedle/Caterpie/Kricketot/Azurill/Sunkern/Ralts Wild Klinklang - 198 - Weedle/Caterpie/Kricketot/Azurill/Sunkern/Ralts Corey - 215 - Tyrogue/Pichu/Sunkern/Sentret/Wooper/Ralts (posting discontinuited, no one seems to care . still doing the challenge tho) Wild Scolipede Gang - 198 - Weedle/Caterpie/Kricketot/Azurill/Sunkern/Ralts Aster & Eclipse - 198 - Weedle/Caterpie/Kricketot/Azurill/Sunkern/Ralts Victoria - 198 - Weedle/Caterpie/Kricketot/Azurill/Sunkern/Ralts Shelly - 245 - Makuhita/Poochyena/Noibat/Zubat/Starly/Ralts I think it will be pretty fun and challenging. If you see something I don't about a fight, or if you just want to chime in, feel free ^^

Hey everyone! I figured i would create an account for my future runs. So....I am a twenty something French guy who, like most of us i guess, fell in love with Pokemon when I was a kid. I got Blue on my birthday, and the rest is history. I don't really remember how I came to learn about Reborn, but I actually downloaded it for the first time about four years ago. I think it was Ep16 back then, i could be wrong. I played until Julia, then stopped for two reasons : - Back then, I didn't want a fangame to change too much the rules of the game, cause I knew them by heart by now, and it would confuse me when playing the main games again. - My computer was a mess, and couldnt run Reborn without turning into an oven. Both of these issues were "solved", meaning I quit trusting GF with making interesting and balanced products, so my attention came back to fangames. On a totally different matter, i just happened to buy a new great laptop. So I downloaded again Reborn a month ago. I just finished Episode 18, i still have some breeding to do, but all content is done. And what a great game! I mostly came for the gameplay, the limitations on pokemon level and the tough boss teams meant the game would be exciting every step of the way. And the way the game gives you progressively better mons means you can't just grab a killer mon and destroy everything. Terrains are pretty great too, we have to think differently than in normal pokemon to use them effectively. The story was surprisingly good...it's really everything i wanted without knowing : multiple interesting characters, branching plot lines, darker themes...I can't wait to see what happens to them in E19. So...while waiting for E19..I have multiple ideas for challenge runs I want to do here. There's lots of threads about monotypes, I think that could be cool. I have some other ideas as well. Anyways Hello everyone and nice to meet you
