Or.. maybe it's more like evolution? Idk. In the most unsurprising announcement we've had in months, we've got a couple promotions... First up is Jericho, taking on a Global Moderating position! He's been allll over the PR forums helping out newcomers and veterans alike, and quite frankly the auth are tired of him dragging topics by the barrel into the Report Center... just kidding, of course! But he's been a huge help all over the place, and no doubt he'll continue to be. Secondly is Blind Guardian with his apparently bi-monthly promotion! Blind is stepping up as a Leader on the showdown server and will be continuing to help me out with other tasks around the site. He has already been a tremendous help to both myself and the rest of the community, including getting newcomers acclimated to our rules, to starting and managing a project with a number of the other auth and users, and everything in between, and he shows no signs of slowing now. On that note, the said project is taking place in the Onyx Trainer School forum, where a host of users have been hard at work producing a bunch of articles for everyone to read. If you haven't already, and you think competitive battling might be your thing, mosey on down there and have a read! That aside, congratulations to these two, and to you both, a personal 'thank you' from me. As a final note, we are expecting to get our Showdown URL/registration back in Febuary... soon... so soon......... so hang tight with that!

These are neat. How do you go about actually getting them on the shirt? I was under the impression one had to go through a set t-shirt printing company or... -something-, like that.

all mention of ships conflicting with ametrine is here by banned under punishment of death <3

Relocated from the SD thread from Kurotsune: To clarify with the second question, the choice is a matter of balancing player selection vs story strength. More choices comes at the cost of a less developed story. Better story comes at the cost of less choice. I would consider Reborn a balance between the two options.

hold thaaaat thought this is a different topic entirely.

Respect is the first rule of this community, and while I appreciate your push for a more gentle tone in the opening post, I think it's important to lead by example. If you want someone else to be more respectful, then demonstrate that for them. Honestly I took the over-drama of the post as a joke, but maybe that's not the case. Either way, I can understand the disappointment coming from one of someone's favorite songs being replaced, and I'm not going to be unsympathetic to it.

this was a joke in the first place to disrespect my vehement suggestion to not make this topic every single person here, especially myself, has been bamboozled.

heh. i dont even remember doing this, but i probably did because this was my feeling on the old music too granted it could be more... professionally? ...phrased, it's a valid feedback. please be respectful. if people really feel strongly about it, i'm open to someone making a poll to see which more people like better, or alternative suggestions from glitch.

GOD BLESS, IRELIA NEEDED IT SO BADLY.

I mean, remember that the characters are all based on the leaders from our online league, so...

It is entirely original. The forum will adopt a -slightly- different name, but we will always be Reborn. Reborn will have my almost-full attention long enough for me to get the story and post-game finished and stable. After that I plan to continue occasional minor bug-fix updates, as well as open the floor up for user translations and mod downloads. You shut your whore mouth! D: We have had this discussion many times already! Vacation's where I wanna be, party on the beach where the fun is free~ ...Just kidding, I'm super impatient to start on this game, I don't wanna waste time! Knight of Lodis is a very strong contender for my favorite GBA game. It hella counts.

I adore Kanji's Shadow fight. I think Cain has been around longer than I've known about that game though, but I guess they're both kind of out there? tbh the shadow is way stereotypically-gay-er than Cain is... 'specially since he's not technically gay, you know. I mean, no one has ever thought of this joke before.

There is life after Reborn. In fact I'm making an entire other game after it. I've talked a bit about Starlight here and there, but I haven't said anything about it 'publicly' because I had been planning to keep the project relatively hush-hush until its time came. Incidentally, I've since decided that that is a bad idea. One thing I believe about Reborn is that the only reason it's done half as well as it has is because since, well, not day one, but about week two instead, it's been out in the community receiving constant feedback and critique. I hold this as a design value, so it would be silly to not apply it to Starlight as well. Accordingly, in the near and/or distant future I'll be putting up some concepts in the Nightclub for Ace Members to review and offer criticism on. Doing that happens to necessitate my announcing this project long before I had intended to, and here we are. However, despite this topic appearing now, I want to make it clear that I will not be actively developing Starlight until Pokemon Reborn is finished. Anything between now and then is just prep-work. So, what is Starlight Divide? Starlight Divide is a 2d turn-based tactical RPG about the eternal war between Heaven and Hell. It is not related to Pokemon, nor is it related to Pokemon Reborn, but we will be expanding this site to accommodate and feature the project. While fans of franchises like Fire Emblem, Luminous Arc and Disgaea should feel right at home with Starlight Divide, the project seeks to address some long-standing flaws of the tRPG genre by featuring more active and skillful gameplay in new mechanics. At any rate, given that Reborn still has an additional five (and a half) episodes until its completion, it may be a long time yet before this game sees the starlight of day. I do hope that although it is not directly related to the Reborn you currently know that many of you will stick around and continue to support the community and this new project. Feel free to ask any questions you have, but I may elect not to answer questions regarding the details of Starlight at this time.

Correct, he's definitely pan, but usually prefers boys. Also I've played P4; why do you ask?

regarding julia and magnemite, she originally had one but I removed it because it basically made choosing fire type starters a necessity for anyone who didn't hate themselves.

Terra's badge technically increased the level cap to 69, but since you're already at 75 from Charlotte nothing happens.

We had one before. It was awful, and the forums forgot to include a way to switch your account back to the normal view.

please enlighten the world, great one, what do we do with the voctrode?

One thing you might need to be careful about stepping on is The Giver. Although it went a different direction with it, the idea of one's love interest being one of the first things through which one sees any color was used and moderately central to that story.

We're done here; this thread has well exceeded its (lack of) purpose.

You guys can do it for your own copies, but it's not going into the main game.

Hm. That's kinda funny.

Yeah, you're supposed to have to give it to her. There's currently an error where the house becomes accessible basically just by breaking the wall into that room. It's been fixed for 14.5

This might be true, but I cannot design the game expecting that people will not read mandatory text. By genre, this is a text-centric game. It won't work if people don't read, especially when it comes to some of the more subtle instructions on how to progress.
