i mean, 4chan exists, so.. not remotely. when i was younger i used to climb up on my neighbor's shed and try it, but i mostly just got bored. even though it really sucked all around, the victorian era. i really like the victorian era. still inuki. im not 100% sure what you mean, especially when it comes to beaches, but you mean like walking over hot coals? it's actually not so difficult, i hear. the palms of the feet have a number of sweat glands in them so as long as the person is hydrated enough their feet actually form a small shield of sweat water between the coals which keeps it cool enough to get over without being burned.anyway i haven't done that myself nor do i care to but i did get a friend of mine through a jam when i was coaching him on tactics to use in an underground wrestling ring and he had a field with that going on in it. usually im the one asking those kinds of questionsand usually dan is the one shaking his head in disbelief ice water healing the fact that that's capitalized... document aside, would make it a popular male name of English (?) origin often short for "William," "Willard," or "Wilhelm"if you wanted it in terms of 'free will' i would say that it is the appearance or seemliness of intention in a given subject to produce a desired action or result a durian, because being a fruit that nobody likes and is protected in a shell of spiky armor, i have the best chance of surviving the fortnight and becoming a human again i would say "hold that thought, i'm going to check myself into therapy" *violent flashbacks of middle school* who the hecc are you even aware of, i'm pretty vocal about characters i like..... okay so "less obvious favorites". this is in no particular order, as usual.casually makes a list of 28 from various games and now has to boil it down mrrrrrraversa selkie soliel karel maribelle niles florina nyx mitama forrest Fairy/Dark I'm not sure how well it suits Alola, but if I had an alternate typing it might just be Poison. i don't get all the hate to FF13. It's the only FF game I've actually enjoyed. Granted, a lot of that is because I can't stand the older FF battle systems (traditional turn based makes me want to gouge my eyes out, 12's was borderline but i didnt like the characters, 13 made it actually enjoyable). anyway, it has Pretty Line Syndrome as heck but the story was good, the characters were good, fang x vanille is my cup of tea and by the way i love vanille,gran pulse in FF13 was... really not all that much story. and yet it had about a gazillion sidequests compared to literally every other chapter of the game. this isn't quite so dramatic in the less-linear Reborn but it's still the same with E16 where there isn't much plot but there is many city to re-explore and thing to do. I started out as a theatre major, but realized that a theatre degree was approximately as useful as blank printer paper, so I switched to psychology, and graduated with a major in that and minor in women's studies. i mean hey good luck that gives me more time to do other stuff if i can trust other-me has here covered

don't worry, he's getting therapy now. do you really think just one's going to be enough now? HAH, good one! Pokemon are usually defined in a text file, but alternate forms are defined in a script section. Basically it uses all the same attributes and then they're adjusted by the scripts for whatever needs to be changed. Meowstic, as well as every form change in the game uses this (including megas), but Alolan pokemon will probably be most like Shellos where it depends where they're from (+ a lot more changes besides appearance, of course) no fuck that i dont want to wait until post-game for my pretty alolan ninetales i want her by my side at all times no but really ill have to rework all of availabilty/trainers/fields/tms/leaders for gen 7 so fml tbh benefit of doing that in the last episode will be that it can be a final balance check ish -- about halfway done with beryl. and i think it was the bigger half. or at least the half with more in it. unless i'm a squib i should be able to finish it tomomo

gOD FUCKING DAMN IT someday one of my favorite characters will survive a DR game....... probably not fuck this show. i hate this show. i hate this series. i hate everything.
-
...bus? what bus? but uh can't say i saw that coming given how the show had been amping her up, either we gotta get some diamonds up in here, bismuth or jasper gotta come back, or we're gonna be hurting for antagonists.

I did... I still do. I have faith. It died before, and it will die again.but it might still be reborn :/// As for the second part, it seems that answer has already been determined. nope no way nobody needs that much attention nobody needs that much attention either i hope he can evolve into piloswine soon what? what? what?? I like both of those shows! In fact Lain used to be my favorite anime (when i was like 12 lol, mael could probably tell you Lain was my go-to avatar choice back then). maybe you think i disliked them because they have average scores on my MAL? but that's just sort of a more analytic take on them. If I am going to criticize them:Lain's mindfuckiness is a strength, but also a weakness. However philosophical it may be, it's not exactly solid story-telling even if it is entertaining. Spice and Wolf's first season is really dry to anyone who isn't interested in economics. Horo has to carry the show, but there's still not a ton of character development in it regardless. I think the second season was a lot better in that regard.don't get me wrong, I still really like that show too-- though, mostly for Horoeven if she does remind me of kuro in a lot of ways. Then I'd just be direct with everyone about why the project was cancelled, and probably ask for everyone's support as I try to jump right into Starlight. Like flowers in spring,Questions bloom with abundance why why why why why I'm pretty content here in Denver, but the Oregon/Washington area seems nice too. Japan. I don't have a preference for city, but not Tokyo. Maybe somewhere north. There's a place I've visited a couple times in my dreams. It's a beach where the sand is pearly white and crumbling marble columns reach hundreds of feet into the air, intermixed in a forest of palm trees. The sky is always overcast, the beach is always covered in a fog so thick you can hardly see ten feet away, and it is always quiet, empty, and isolated. Cyclones form on the horizon. It begins to storm again. I take cover under the balcony of a small cabin on the wood's edge, and repeat quietly to myself a certain poem about love, the rain, and why I am still alone. A. The internet will save the world, eventually.

probably not : ( I HAVE TOO. well i didnt yesterday but that's cuz i didnt make any food yesterday... BUT I HAVE BEEN MOST OF THE TIME.

i was upset today to discover (through playing Rejuvenation, no less) that a certain graphic I spent a solid couple hours a few weeks ago spriting, actually already existed in Essentials by default. and the one i sprited from scratch, not having even known about the existing one, was almost completely identical aauuuu. whatever, mine's still cleaner. jasper is done. honestly shouldnt have taken as long as i did but hey who called it (i called it) beryl is very larrrrg but hopefully it doesnt stall me for nearly as long.
-
i popped into this thread because i was like 'there is no way people are still guessing me trying to get me to appear here' and yet here we are on this very page pls chill i dont exist here not even now but while im here i might as well put in an order for blue moon, since it is the best ice cream flavor and all.
-
I won't go into detail, but I definitely have been doing the same sort of thing. Not with Reborn since the circumstances behind that are different, but with pretty much every playable character in Starlight they're representative of a specific emotional conflict I have or have had. Sometimes if I'm like upset or crying or whatever, I'll stop myself and realize... "all right, well, this conflict belongs to X character, how are they going to get over it?" and so I sort of save it away to write into them when the time comes, and then try to jump myself to their conclusion.

that's too many episodes save me

you're no fun. --- Finished Lapis. Also finished most of eventing for the previous puzzle with Ikaru, though I had a time of it as I was trying to teach him. anyway ive been working on this for basically the past two days straight because i really haven't felt like doing anything else and it's been great but now work weekend is gonna come along and get in my way lol rip jasper next tho. 2 wards left!!! and apophyll and azurine and some other stuff whatever.

And their cracked hearts, thank you very much. The floors were fixed a long time ago. Now I'm making the people catch up. Keep in mind everything that will be for this game was decided a long, long time ago. Your ideas, and your cries are both meaningless. But it's fun to pretend they aren't, so... Creative! I'm not sure that'll work in the end though. ^ ^ ____ Finished Lapis. I'm not marking it as done yet though because I still have that tiiiiiny little detail underneath it to take care of. Not 100% how that's going to work because most of those events need to be preserved in case anyone hadn't done them yet. But that's tomorrow-me's problem. Also, with Ikaru's help, we finished the mapping for another sidequest dungeon. We'll start eventing that for tomorrow. Ah, I don't mind putting a screenshot... but you already know how that works, right? ^ ^

Your trainer card is automatically displayed, if you have a signature. In order get it to display, just put anything else in your signature. For instance just "-" would display the card once.

on one hand it's cool that they're finally doing this form that has apparently been foreshadowed in other media for years. on the other hand. i have no clue how i or anyone else is supposed to fit that beast into a 96x96 sprite. coldsteel the hedgehog is an improvement but my impressions are too stained by its ground type counterpart for me to care greatly.on the other hand, the ninetales... ohhhmygoddd the ninetales... yes please i will take 12, thank you. 7th gen will definitely happen just because of ninetales alone. i think it may have jumped up into my top 3 favorite pokemon. my thoughts on z-moves are best summed up in an illustrious phrase i heard long ago. that phase is something like,why I'm concerned. I was concerned about Mega Evolutions too, and Megas turned out to be really healthy for the metagame, but not so hot for the in-game experience where- hey, you could already steamroll every gym leader with one pokemon easily, but now you can do it with a super-saiyan Pokemon! Anyway, Megas were not without merit so I'm hoping this will be the same way, but I am hesitant because I cannot imagine that Z-moves will be particularly significant for game balance unlike Megas since 1- as far as I can tell it's not so worth it to team build around them, and 2- it's probably just going to be relegated to a get-out-of-trump-card free move for battles even if it were ever necessary. also i dont think its particularly compelling to just have superstrongmove on an enemy either like what's that gonna do hey check it out one (1) of your pokemon is probably going to get OHKO'd whenever this move is used. wow, compelling gameplay!! I'll be the first to admit I have a lot of salt about Pokemon's battle system, but I am trying very hard to give them the benefit of the doubt here and I'm just not feeling it. I don't think I've streamed since Dylan and I dropped the Tales thing. I sort of struggle with it. As a theatre kid, I'm not exactly stage-shy, but I seem to have a tendency to put off streaming a lot, never really feeling like it, never really feeling up to it, so forth. It's a little stressful for me tbh. Kinda the same with Youtube videos actually, but those can be done on a whim at 3am where as streaming at 3am is sometimes less effective. So I figure between the two I should put my energy towards videos since those will last longer than one night and also probably take less time. In regards to games, I feel like when I'm streaming something new to me, I can't really take the time to enjoy it. Like with Undertale, for instance. I haven't played anymore of Undertale since streaming it, but I don't really feel like I got a good feel for it before between watching chat + trying to keep moving so it didnt stall out. I play things at the speed of dirt usually, and that might be because I often take time to savor or analyze elements of them. YouTube videos are a bit better for me there too since I can cut out the ten minutes of down-time where I was chasing my tail or staring off into the distance looking up a kanji compound or something. League is also something I've streamed in the past and that was fun-- but my default position towards that is that I should get better first. In regards to development... I may try and do more of that (especially since if I ever did get on through Patreon or something like that I'd want to feel comfortable doing that sort of thing for patrons regularly). But I wrestle between energy levels, focus, and also not wanting to spoil parts of the game for people-- then again maybe if players are concerned about that they would just not watch. A lot of this probably sounds like reasons for me not to, but I'm not saying I wont do it again. Streaming is still something interesting to me, and something I'd like to be able to do. I'm just not quite there yet. On the plus, I got a webcam for my birthday meaning if I did stream again, I could have a face if I wanted. I dunno if that's gonna mean anything or not. I am very open to feedback on the above conflicts, by the way, if anyone has any tips for mitigating those sorts of problems from their experience, or what kind of things you guys would most want me to be streaming, whatever. This might not be the topic for it so feel free to shoot me a PM or something if you have words for me. The Hermit, probably. A certain other person has described me as such anyway, and I'm inclined to believe it's accurate. Always.However, I'm not yet convinced they need to be in Reborn, so we'll see. My first impulse is always to say "Emilie Autumn" but, I don't really know what I would say to her, and based on past experiences, I have a lot more to lose in that scenario than I do to gain. So I dunno. Maybe Nikola Tesla. I'm not really invested in the matter, but I hear he took some significant advances to the grave with him. Always.

hello welcome to as much of a timeline as we have. status thread's just next door, also linked from the first post, this is the details thereto. I don't do deadlines or release dates. Pretty dramatic, hm? I can see the resolution is a bit inconsistent, and it's got pillow-shading syndrome (darker towards edges-- not generally correct) but for an early attempt you've got potential. That said, this thread really isn't the place for this sort of thing, so in the future, please post your sprites or whatever in the Creative Works forum so everyone can give feedback too! a wat yeah! we may not have all of them 100% ready in the next episode but in general they do the thing heh oh by the way i found another bug with these as i was trying to make that gif so like heyyy if you need another break from the server stuff hit me up. Coral is done. I think Coral might be my favorite ward in the city now. Like, if I were going to live there or something. Lapis comes next. It might take a minute unless I save a solid chunk of it for sidequests though. We'll see.

i cannot in good conscience answer this question negatively Here is why I do not want to do the audino thing (and why i've been resistant to rebattlable trainers in the first place): If it were just a fast track for weaker Pokemon, that would be fine. But anything that's that fast, like an Audino squad, is also probably going to be pretty easy leveling among other things too. I do not like grinding. There are apparently strange people with strange opinions who disagree with me, but personally I think having to grind is a design flaw. However (and presumably due to years of growing up on static turn-based systems that served more as stat-checks than actual challenges) despite it not being enjoyable to many people, it is often a default strategy. I would much rather encourage players to not grind unless they really have to (or, as you say, a newer/weaker Pokemon) and instead try different strategies, items, set-ups, field tactics, etc to try and beat the leader instead. But, if I add something that's so clearly freelo EXP, it's just going to enable that grinding-as-default disposition. I don't think people learn as much that way, and I think if they end up beating the battles just because of a numbers advantage they lacked before, it's not nearly as satisfying as beating the battle because they thought hard, tried new things, and hammered out something they didnt think of before that happened to work better and secure the win. So, I don't know the numbers, but if something gives the best EXP for a level 30-50 Pokemon it's also probably going to be giving above average EXP even for level 50-70 Pokemon. Then it'll be that much simpler to just win by numbers rather than strategy. No thanks.As an after thought, I wouldn't be opposed to that if it somehow like locked you out of the battle if you had any Pokemon above a certain level in your party (and was later in the game) so that could be an option... however that level would probably be in the 50-60 area and while it would help it's mostly the levels after that that take the longest anyway. So eh. Generally true, though Jan and I are friends and help a bit with each other's projects anyway, so I really doubt he'd mind. It's probably an option at least.

It has its moments. I hella support the bubbline shipping and have seen a few episodes but it never really caught me. The only one of these I actually watch(ed) regularly. Lapis is precious and must be protected. There's not much negative I could say against it except how slow it is to pick up. Had to google what it was. I've seen some gifsets of it on tumblr but the art style is sort of gross and makes me not want to watch it. The gifs themselves have yet to give me sufficient reason contrariwise. Haven't seen that either, nor have I seen anything of it elsewhere. Is that still relevant??? It looked sort of cool when I saw commercials of it as a kid, but I've never seen it. We didn't have cable growing up so I didn't have a way to watch it. Who wouldn't? There's really no reason not to, and I think everyone has lots of things they'd like to do over, or better, or something-- heck, even someone with basic understanding of current events and society could become rich through stocks alone. ty cuz i was v confused

Statistically speaking though, on match up alone, Dobbs has a point.
It be a shame of Steelshrew through a metal claw or something it's way...
N-tales is still much more elegant and appealing a design though

...No, as a matter of fact it apparently doesn't. Meaning this is about Reborn, not Rejuvenation. I'll move the thread in a second but in the mean time, It makes this rather ironic: Sorry for the joke, I don't know about Rejuvenation. But hi, I made Reborn so you probably already could have guessed I was a troll. Chubb has the right link. Version 1, iirc. Also just for future reference you have all of the music Mp3s in Pokemon Reborn/Audio/BGM/ -- it shouldn't be too hard to dig through those if you wanna find something. Thanks for playing, cheers!

here you go!

I highly recommend the movie Idiocracy. It's a comedy. Anybody who hasn't seen it should watch it, or at -least- the first ten minutes. Anyway, I think he is one of the first steps down that path. I assume you mean the election itself and not the unpredictable result. My fear is that it won't impact the future. My hope is that we will learn from the disaster both parties have been so far, and the bind we keep putting ourselves into, and finally change our system. Nope. [spoiler]secrets go here[/spoiler] Zorua is pretty huggable, but I have to say Sylveon. I mean, it's so cute, just wanting to hold onto its trainer with its ribbons at all times... that's sort of like hugging, right? it kills me emotionally. precious baby I think someone asked this before, but poison. It's easily homemade can be painless or torturing, and can mask time of death. wait what just happened i forgot My mom used to take us out for a $50 three course fondue dealie on special occasions. then i stopped eating meat so there wasn't much point to it though me? eccentric? pfft..... i'm so normal.... im the normalest normie to ever norm normality.maybe. I don't want a funeral. Burn me and then forget about me. You have better things to do than fuss over what no longer exists. Probably not an all-time favorite, but one that appeals to me right now: I only sleep with people I love, which is why I have insomnia.~ Emilie Autumn uhI have a really good sense of direction. Not so much in video games, but IRL it's really really hard for me to get lost even when I try to (and I do try, cuz being lost is fun!). So it's sort of annoying actually lol. I'm decently okay at throwing stuff in a mid-air spin idly and catching it. I do that with pens, markers, flashlights both big and small... knives a lot. I usually don't cut myself even if I have to catch it by the blade. I make a sick full drumbeat moving only two fingers on my mouse and keyboard. Hi-hit is my index finger tapping on the mouse. Knuckle comes down on the side of the keyboard for a kick drum. Thumbnail hits the side of the keyboard on the way back up for a snare sound. Successive snare hits are hard though. Most of the times I've felt pride have not been correlated with any particular momentous event, but just little things, like learning a song that was challenging for me, efficiently breaking a bad habit, getting an awesome character design or map done, making significant progress in reading/understanding japanese.. stuff like that. Nope. Not that sort of game. Would be weird with handling teams too.

I got over that a long time ago. It became 40, and then 50, and by now I'd like to stick around as long as I'm still able to at least play some damn video games. heh, holy cowtao. If you don't possess happiness, then you just have to craft it with your own two hands! I believe in you, too. Thanks for the save. And it's fine. Last year was sort of my getting over disliking them. They mean something now, after all. So no worries. ^^ that's weird. this is weird. i mean that's good, but it's weird. The only thing that can stop me is myself. Well.. and the passage of time, blunt force trauma, etc... and I'm probably allergic to bullets moving at high speeds... Think benadryl helps with that? Ily2. I may be scatterbrain some days... or most days... or most of every day... but I've gotten this far, and I'm only going to get better, probably. But thank you, everyone, for the well-wishes and whatnot else. I maybe lowkey cried when I started reading this thread i mean not like a sad crying so dont worry or anything but you know. I don't have any sort of dramatic speech to make at this point, but-- god, this has been a tough year, and for none of the reasons I expected. That's how life is though, right? Thank you all for sticking with me. i seem to be crying again. interesting. Rise Against is all right. This one's more my style though. to another year, or a few more.

They're not forgotten. Just excluded. Besides, we already have defoggy stuff in field effects, especially now that there are puzzles that depend on transforming fields. Whirlpool would be easy to implement but it feels out of place so nope. It's not a map change, but unfortunately gifs don't save sound. Yeah, it was like a sister site sort of deal especially when shit started hitting the fan there. If the game had stayed as just an in-community deal like I had intended, it would be fine to keep the references. But... since it very much hasn't, it does more harm than good. False expectations, as we see here. I am not aware of this reference and no it did not. my name's postgame and i care what you say I'm sadistic, not petty. I have not entirely ruled out the possibility for small post-game patches over time, which would be as close to E20 as we get. But it'll probably just all be in 19. Do you mean your avatar? I'm all for people customizing graphics if it helps them enjoy the game more. If you keep practicing, I'm sure you can be really good too. -- Peridot done. Finally. I'll be sad if any other individual section takes that long. Have an Animation. Bounce comes from Mde, and the magic of Pokemon actually disappearing between semi-invulnerable move turns can be credited to Marcello.

The whole thing about Reborn being a post-apoc city was Will's idea, after something that I'm not entirely clear on what happened after I signed off of the server one night back when we first started in 2010. He started making a story based on the fact that I, as a leader, disappeared in their time of need, and so everything was ruined. Not sure about purchasable though I'm not directly opposed. As for Leppa, I somehow thought y'all already had those. But if not, you'll get them at some point anyway. No plans to. Some of the stuff like merging and whatnot is just super not practical for a field effect. As for the wrapping moves, I definitely tried to do something with that at first, it was one of the key things I was looking to abuse on Terra's team (probably with like, Sand Tomb?). I don't remember why I eventually decided against it, whether it was because I couldn't find a way to make it compelling in terms of gameplay (let's face it, wrapspam wasn't actually fun for anyone, and doesn't leave (m)any options), or because I couldn't get the code to make it work right, I don't remember. But I think that field is pretty solid as is. Given my volatile memory, there's no way what hasn't happened probably more than a few times. However, given my volatile memory, I don't remember any specifics. Sometimes I get in the mood to, but usually one or two things happens. Either I burn myself out playing through the early game for the #48954th time because I accidentally fucked up my old save file testing things, or I think something like, but wait, it would be better to play through it after I finish this feature/area/whatever so I can test with that and then by the time I actually finish that the mood has passed. At least 5In Glitch City though? Over 9000. If there was I forgot about it It was an afterthought, in fact a suggestion from someone on the forum. I really liked the idea though. I'm going to do more with it in the coming episode. The region was based and subsequently named off of our server/community, which was named Reborn because activity kept dying out and coming back. There's actually a lot more Re-'s in there, but we overlook them. Kinda like coefficients of 1. *illuminati music plays* When I'm good and ready to ya dadblameddragondoodaddratiniairnitefanboymanboypinsypansyimpatientpatronisin' hooligan. ^~^ I kind of had a feeling it wouldn't, but I was hoping it wouldn't last more than a month... oh well, I don't really mind. I knew E16 would take forever, but I didn't think it would take over a year ._.; There might have been a few like that before but most of finally been gotten to between E13-16. She meant the player. Basically you're an experiment to her, and she expects you to be underwhelming. It actually doesn't quite fit in the context of the game after Obsidia PULSE stuff, but it was one of her old battle quotes.
