Moxie fix is already in, as are all of the others as far as I'm aware.

Smeargle learns Sketch once every 10 levels starting at 11, having one at start. Sketch can only be used to copy one move - that is the last move that your opponent used.

This man speaks the truth.

it's alright, I presumed the same because it seemed as that was what he was implying. But who can say?

I mean, he could be downloading solely fanmade and homebrew games, I can't say for sure.

If you're confused about then allow me to inform you that an R4 is a NDS emulator that you can use with a Nintendo DS instead of emulating it on a PC. RaKooN is implying that he's pirated NDS games' files, put them on an R4 and played them as opposed to buying the actual games' cartridges and using those.

Actually, you can get Magmortar the same way you can get Electivire -- there is a 5% chance that a Magby/Elekid will be holding a Magmarizer/Electrizer when caught respectively. Fairly certain that this continues to be the case, but I'll double check and correct it if I find that it's not.

Not sure if you saw, but earlier up in the thread Khayoz posted. He's using a team of 6 eeveelutions atm, so you can definitely have more than one.

I was going to say that it would likely be the menu, like in D/P/P or B/W/B2/W2 's C-Gear but this is far better than either of those.

This would mean that Ame'd have to recode the entire thing, which she'd likely not want to do herself. It'd be nice though, I suppose.

I feel like just adding an exception for the item use such that you can't cancel after you use an item with the first pokemon's turn should be enough to silence the issue..

I'm fairly certain that Dream World moves are not in the game at the moment. If they were, I bet Ame'd already be using them to her advantage. Edit: Double checked, no Dream World moves to be found on Gastly.

Thank you for posting this, because it reminded me of a bandage function that I wrote in order to attempt to fix DW ability normalization. I don't know why I was so confused before, I think it was because abilities aren't calculated in the same place as all the other data when a new Pokemon is created. In short, abilities aren't exactly 'set' to a number per se, but they are based off of that Pokemon's personal ID where possible. If a Pokemon has 2 abilities then an even-numbered PID will get you the first ability and an odd-numbered one gets you the second ability. If the Pokemon has a third ability, then the PID is calculated in mod 3 where the value (0,1, or 2) defines the ability the Pokemon gets.

Alright, so clearly because I have nothing better to do in the morning than analyze starter choices I'm going to provide some counters to points you make here that I disagree with... and in doing so probably end up also analyzing other currently available starter choices. First things first though, let's see the points you make: This one I'm not going to touch because it's really a personal opinion thing for the most part. I have a few opinions on this but I'll leave it alone because we're doing a starter pokemon thing mostly. Maybe next time. I can actually concede to you on this particular point: besides Gyarados there are several other excellent non-starter water types (which makes sense seeing as water is the most abundant type -- 109 pokemon are water type, which is 16.8% of the current known pokemon) available in Reborn such as Politoed, Vaporeon, Gastrodon, Azumarill, Swanna, Crawdaunt, etc. Not as much on this end (grass is 4th most common type), but similarly to the water point there are a few solid grass type options currently available in Reborn such as Tangrowth, Breloom, Leafeon, Whimsicott, Lilligant, Shiftry, Roserade, etc. I don't know about this point though, especially with fantastic options like Magmortar, Arcanine, Ninetales, Camerupt, and Houndoom all available. I realize that there are definitely fewer fire pokemon than grass or water, but even without considering starters there are a decent set of options available to Reborn's trainers right now. With that out of the way, lets do some starter pokemon chat. I'm going to try and be general about this and not base it entirely off competetive stuff, seeing as we're only discussing starters, but there's a few points where learnsets boosted by TMs and tutors that aren't in Reborn yet are noted. Starting with the pokemon that you brought up: Ridiculous is an ambiguous word, but judging by context you're not using in a positive way. Quickly going over his stats though, we see that while he has 2 stats that are below the average for fully evolved pokemon (Def and SpD), one is average (HP) and three are above it (Atk, SpA, Spe). While Blaziken does have notably middling defenses, his offensive stats are very good - only about 50 or so pokemon have 120 or more attack and Speed Boost makes it such that it's base speed is insignificant. Additionally, even without TMs, tutors (or even breeding moves for that matter), Blaziken has a fantastic physically offensive movepool with options like Flare Blitz, Close Combat/Hi Jump Kick, Brave Bird, and a decent boosting move in Bulk Up until we get ourselves a Swords Dance TM. With this in mind, Blaziken is one of the best choices for a starter pokemon. I was completely taken by surprise by this remark. With mixed sets of Infernape being rather common due to it's 104/104 base offensive stats, it's available movepool is one of the largest of all the starters with TMs/Tutors considered. Even using only Reborn's available moves it still has solid options for moves, with access to Mach Punch, Thunderpunch, Fire Punch, Close Combat, Acrobatics, and Flare Blitz as good physical moves and moves like Grass Knot and Hidden Power from the special side until we have access to more TMs. All things considered, Infernape's movepool is not something holding it back and I find that it's one of the better starter choices. While it's true that Charizard's flying moves are indeed limited (in the official games it only gets Wing Attack and Air Slash naturally, with few other viable options aside from Air Slash. He does get Roost though, which is nice) and it's rock weakness is painful, that doesn't stop it from being a good choice for a starter. With Dragon Rage in it's early movepool and decent move scaling and stats, the Charmander line is a solid pick to enter the Reborn region with. Now here's the biggest statement you've made, so I'll go at it piece by piece, and judge 'efficient in battle' last. 1) 1 type -> fewer weaknesses This isn't always the case in pokemon, and although mono-water typing is nice defensively, (4 resists, two of which are for common attacking types of fire/ice + 2 weaknesses in less common grass/electric moves) mono-fire typing is not (5 resists, two of which are for fire/ice but also resisting less common grass/steel types + 3 weaknesses in common offensive types ground/water/rock). Additionally, there are many examples of pokemon with two types with fewer weaknesses - the phenomenal water/ground typing of Swampert immediately comes to mind (grass is it's sole weakness). 2) great stat distribution There's not much to be said here without significant time investment that I don't really have to put into this remark. I'll note that Feraligatr's speed could be a bit better and Typhlosion's defenses mean it can't take too many hits. I can't speak to much more than that so I'll simply say that their stat distributions are decent/average stopping only to mention that Typhlosion's stats are identical to that of Charizard's. 3) good movesets I will admit Feraligatr has an amazing official movepool and even with what's available in Reborn it's still very good. As much as I like Typhlosion though, it does not have such a great movepool and is rather limited in Reborn. Outside of great fire STAB coverage, (Eruption/Flamethrower plus Lava Plume for doubles) Typhlosion doesn't have many other good special moves - having no other notable moves in it's natural learnset, Extrasensory and Quick Attack (mentioned as it's his only priority move) through breeding and Hidden Power, Solarbeam and Focus Blast through TMs. Having to breed in Reborn to get a second type move for coverage is rather undesirable, and being limited to so few attacking options can really hinder it. So, are the Cyndaquil and Totodile lines 'efficient in battle' by the above? Feraligatr doesn't suffer from many problems save speed trouble which can be remedied via Aqua Jet (though you'd have to breed it) or Dragon Dance (which isn't available yet), so I'd say that it can be considered efficient (though I feel like this isn't the right word to use here). Typhlosion on the other hand suffers from a limited movepool and mono-fire typing is not as good of an asset that it might seem, so despite the fact that I'm a fan of it I'd have to say no in its case. 4) Other starters! I also find that you're overlooking other great starters when considering ones that are 'efficient' through to the 5th generation. Swampert, Torterra, Empoleon, Venusaur, Blastoise and Serperior can all make for excellent starters in their own rights despite other options for water and grass pokemon being available. Torterra and Empoleon both have unique typings and can make for a powerful physical attacker/physical tank or a powerful special attacker/specially defensive support respectively. Swampert may struggle in Reborn due to not having some of its best moves available, but solid defenses, a powerful STAB earthquake, and decent coverage with what it has available more than make up for it. Blastoise is a big physical wall and Serperior has decent bulk and a fantastic speed stat that it can take advantage of in a supportive role or be a boosting sweeper. Venusaur can be a Chlorophyll physical, special or even mixed sweeper or in the next gen... Finally, I think you should reconsider your assessment of Charizard, Blaziken and Infernape. But in reality, picking your starter is a personal choice you make based on what pokemon you want to play with so who cares about all this noise anyway! ...I guess...

Abilities as a whole are calc'd rather oddly, but I need more testing to make sure that I'm not going to entirely break them. The thing with Starly is that it literally only has Keen Eye as its ability. There appears to be no distinction between the 'hidden ability' version and the normal ability version as the hidden one doesn't even exist according to the script. Starly just has 100% chance to get Keen Eye, that's all. I need more time with this thing to squash the bug/inconsistency.

Not yet. Wooby was working on it, but it looks like their lead dead-ended.

..that's a rather extreme reaction, don't you think?

Man this is the most confusing edge case I've ever seen. I am struggling to figure out how exactly this works out to better explain it but... it's tricky.

Theoretically, yes. I haven't tested it myself though and have been wondering what the deal is for what is coded as a one ability Pokemon to evolve into one with multiple abilities. Maybe GenshiD could elaborate on how he got his because seeing as I've never tested it myself. In an ideal world you'd be able to get both and it seems like you can. Not sure if there's some way to guarantee it though as this is a rather odd edge case.

Pretty sure it's this. Starly only has "one" ability (due to both of them being the same ability, and duplicates not being allowed by the editor).

I thought his request was amusing as currently his location is listed as "Shiny Hunter Association HQ". Back to the point though, it's unlikely that Ame will decrease the shiny rate.

Not until it exists/functions she can't.

Much of what you're saying is good, but when he says Ice Rock for Glaceon he means one like the Mossy Rock in Chrysolia Forest. That particular Icy Rock allows Eevee to evolve into Glaceon by levelling up near it. Also I've told Ame where the information is in the scripts about changing biking/running/walking speed, so that's up to her if she wants to change it or not. Episode 10, while a new episode with new story content and areas to explore, will likely have very little of the things people are asking for here (save many of the scripting stuff that Ame, Wooby, and I have fixed). Additionally, Ame has already said that if she does trainer rebattles then it'll be through the phone system, so you likely will not get a VS. Seeker out of her. Ever.

I like this. I will note that it seems kind of... empty? without the Pokemon you add to your personalized one. It just feels like there should be something there to me. I like your choice of font for "Reborn" though. Which font is that? And I presume you made this in Photoshop?

I think I could actually do this.. if you still want it.
