True enough, honestly I think about it as more of a challenge some Pokemon I avoid because they aren't terribly strong and training them to me is a waste of EXP so being stuck with one to would be the only time I'd train one. I love story cohesion as well and a weak beginning takes away from that a bit to me, so having a direction to come from makes my OCD happy

The real question is would something like that be doable, I'm sure it would take quite a bit of time to put together though :/

Right something like when you save the bullied pokemon on the bridge at the beginning

My big thought for that is that you earn the right by "impressing" ame and then you get the option to keep what you started with or Select a Canon starter to start a "new" life so to speak it could be a lot of fun adding some extra flavor for some of the people that might have recognized you from your past life kinda thing.

So not sure where this really belongs but I had a thought about the beginning of the game. I've noticed that throughout the game there are several classes of people notably Street Rats, Police Officers, Students, Meteor Members, and Members of the Group saving reborn with Ame etc; now this said I feel like once the main story line is "complete" alternate beginnings could be a lot of fun with different pokemon that could be deemed stereo typical as starters such as the ones found in the alley ways or Growlithe. Just a thought because the current beginning has never to me clicked with the theme of the game and starting somewhere that seems story line appropriate to relate better to the darker style of the game. Not saying that whats there isn't amazing its just a thought I've never understood what makes the main character so special they should earn the right to that starter pokemon and entry into the reborn league.....just thinking out loud. Anyways thoughts comments commentary on this? Love the game and I have been playing sporadically since episode 6 or 7 so I like to contribute my thoughts to this marvelous work of art.

This was not the case for me :/ i would have beaten it much sooner if it didnt have 10 pp for judgement and recover And I did a tally count several times I fought it so much

Personally I find it somewhat funny that losing to El sends you to a pokemon center however escape ropes don't work. Question though a few of the threads claim that Ditto reduces each of Arceus attacks to 5 pp, and while I don't have a stall team I do have lots of revives and max revives and he has yet to run out of judgement or focus blasts :/ i did a tally last soft reboot and he used judgement 12 times alone.....bleh here goes round 30.... 36 rounds later my winning strategy was a luck based flash him til he cant hit anything
