Saber12

I haven't been around but I wanted to bring this up with the only community I've ever talked with. Monty Oum the creator of RWBY, Dead Fantasy and Haloid passed away. I don't know when but I just found out today. The title alone doesn't express my feelings for this man's dedication. When I was growing up I didn't care for all the popular idols everyone flocked to in school. I just wasn't interested into all that gangster stuff. I was simply a gamer with a goal to work in the gaming industry. At the age of 19, I was getting used to youtube and clicked on Dead Fantasy 5 and was amazed at how much entertainment he made. Forget all that about the quality of the animations, lighting and rendering. I was entertained for the duration of that video and all the others he made before that period. When I finished seeing all of them, I had to find out who he was and how he learned to do it. I looked for as many interviews and panels I could find of him. At 19 I found someone I could call my hero. Even though I wanted to work in games, I always had ideas for manga, anime or movies. After seeing his work and listening to his interviews, I hoped that one day I would have worked hard enough to be able to work by his side. Now that can't happen. I never even got to ask him a question. All this time and all the times I could have asked him for advice on modeling, texturing, animation or rendering, were blocked because I was too ashamed at my level of quality. I felt I wasn't good enough to show my off my work and now I'll never get the chance. I never knew Monty personally but knowing that he's gone hurts. It really hurts. I just want to know if anyone else has had feelings for him and what he's done. I don't care if anyone uses this thread or sends me a pm. If anyone around here is feeling this loss, I wanna know.

One day I won't be the same old guy who couldn't post a piece of art for the world. One day people are gonna know who I am. I don't expect anyone here to know me when the time comes but that day will come. I'll prove to everyone that I'm not some depressed loser. That I'm not some quitter. Mark my words I'll prove to everyone that I can make it in this world even if I have to do it alone. I'm sick and tired of being scared of making mistakes and revealing my weaknesses. I'm not gonna stay quiet any longer. I'm still breathing darn it and that's more than enough of a reason for me to keep going. I will be a game designer, artist and a programmer. Even if I'm not the best I'll still prove that I can make something great. You don't think I can do it? Just watch and you'll see. I'm not listening to anyone but myself from now on. I'm the only one I can trust in this dark and lonely world. Well, that's fine with me. Who needs friends anyway. I don't and I could care less about having some. People should just stay the heck away from me. Jerks.

Don't mind me just lending a helping hand. I thought you'd like it better without the white pixels all around the overworld sprite. You're doing good, keep it up. I'd like to see how far you'll go with this.

You know I honestly think that if it were easy to implement it would be worth experimenting with. Simply put, it would speed up the process of grinding pokemon if some players chose to use it. No one's gonna sweep every leader with one pokemon easily because of the level cap, competitive 6 team builds, and the field effects given to the gym leaders and in some cases the bosses in between. Of course I don't think it's a perfect way of speeding up the grinding process but I believe it's worth looking into. I'd personally like to look in to the boosted exp gain from using pokemon amie. It's obviously an easier way of managing the exp boost on pokemon individually but again I should say that implementing it is a bit strange as of now. There will still be a need to switch you're pokemon. The only thing you won't have to worry about as much is switching to something for the sake of leveling it up. In no way, shape, or form would it defeat the purpose of the level cap. You're either fighting the gym leaders below or on equal footing with your team, at least by levels. I don't see anything changing here. This is a debatable topic because honestly there are two types of players: those who don't mind the grinding and those who don't like it. The exp. share as of X/Y onward is a double edged sword in Reborn with the level cap implemented. It could help challenge players with managing the exp. they gain and hopefully encourage players to take on the more difficult challenges with more varied teams where players will not limit themselves to just 6 pokemon and will feel free to do so. Once again this item can be turned on and off as a choice of the player in X/Y. In Reborn I'd predict that many players would find moments where turning it off would be necessary as opposed to X/Y where leaving it on is always the best option for completing the game. That's my take on this topic.

I thought I wasn't gonna make it with her annoyingly speedy team. My only way out was to use Gothitelle's trick room to give my pokemon a fighting chance. Let's see Mienshao, Aurorus, Mantine, Golurk, Gothitelle, and Bellosom were on the team and... I had to repeatedly use psychic from Gothitelle because for some reason Nidoking's special let it survive psychic too easily even with the boost of the terrain. Garchomp was taken out easily by ice beam from Aurorus. Excadrill was freakin OP and just kept one hit KO'ing everybody before I could touch it until the ideal trick room was in place for me to take it out. Claydoll was being a just as bad as Excadrill by Ko'ing anyone who didn't resist psychic and it always went first. Well for me it did unless Mienshao was out. Quagsire could't make a move since my Bellosom was faster and had well giga drain. Hippowdon took the finishing blow from Bellosom so after Quagsire I was home free. Overall, I think it's getting to a point where I won't be able to rotate my pokemon in and out of my team anymore. Her team was above the level limit and my highest leveled Pokemon was Mienshao at level 65. I thought I'd have to go all the way back to the PC just to bring back my Medicham at 68 but thank goodness for the tm trick room. That one move can let even some of the weakest Pokemon shine.

I guess sweeping a boss can feel too easy. In most cases you would expect to have to use your resources to outlast them. The thing about pokemon is your opponents can sweep you too very easily if you're not prepared for the sword dance, nasty plot, bulk up/ calm mind. You have the same kinds of moves and options as your opponents except usually they're of a weaker variety until you've reached a certain point in the game of gaining the equivalent of that same gym leader. If you compare sweeping bosses in any pokemon game to some rpg's like Breath of Fire or Final Fantasy, it might seem too easy because your victory comes very soon. If not then you'll probably look at it more like chess where the difficulty in this case depends on how your base stats, the field and type compare to your opponent much like the placement of your chess pieces to the placement of your opponents pieces. I haven't tried the sweeping starter torchic yet so my sweeps have been very rare. (Probably because I'm too busy trying not to get swept in the first place. Samurott get your act together! ) You know my thoughts aren't all together right now so I'll just say yep I prefer having to switch even if it's just a little bit. Sweeping isn't entirely bad unless I can easily do it to almost every boss with the same pokemon, with the same moveset, with the same turn order, that's when things get out of hand. Although I don't think there's a pokemon game where all three of these are lumped together. That doesn't include Gyrados in Reborn from past episodes since you eventually had to get rid of dragon rage and then there's also Sigmund with his electric types...

Decibel is difficult to get if that makes any sense. I have to zoom in to understand what I'm looking at for Decibel. It took me awhile to understand that Decibel's hair was pushed to the side. I'm leaning towards favoring Alice and the rest.

Gee why do I play pokemon? I remember the first time I tried Yellow I thought it was the worst game I ever played. It wasn't until I saw a little bit of the anime, that I was able to fire up my imagination and play through it. These days I guess I just play to experience a different story from my imaginative perspective. I just think of a new team then replay a game with a different strategy in mind. Of course I have fun with pokemon though at times I wonder why I choose Pokemon over anything else.

Now Ame you know I can't read any of this. So far the field effect seems really messy. I like the gen 1 idea but now we have a lot of Dark, Steel and Fairy types put together. Just how weak will everyone's teams become when they enter this field? Of course I don't expect a trial and error check for every team a player could come up with. I'm just wondering about how difficult it'll be if we have to maneuver through a place that gets us into random battles with this field effect and if any bosses will maximize their usage of it's effects.(ex. having a perfectly ev trained team with gen 1 moves perfectly optimizing the fields physical/special stats of their pokemon. Whereas the player's team has become more suited to gen 6 mechanics.) Well more power to you Ame. Forget that stuff I just said. I'll just wait and see.

Yes and no. You can by pasting in the images of the trainer sprites you want in the graphics folder. Then you have to rename the new sprites to the names of the original sprites by first renaming the original ones.(ex.trainer000 to trainer000a then your sprite_name to trainer000) There isn't anything in the game though for changing your sprite like pokemon X and Y. I made sports and winter outfits for the current protagonists for players to use if they felt like it. You could check'em out here on my old topic if you'd like. [topic=http://www.pokemonreborn.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=9469]Sprite Fan Art[/topic] It's quick and simple but you could PM me if you have trouble replacing them. Of course as Jericho said you could very well make your own sprites with a program like graphics gale, if you're interested in pixel art.

Yup it's official. Trapinch now learns earthquake at level 33 before it becomes vibrava or flygon as confirmed by Serebii. Whether that's OP or not I think is a matter of opinion however these types of changes may depend on Maruno's progress on Pokemon essentials. Don't quote me on that for I haven't read up on the new updates to Pokemon Essentials yet.

Congrats friendszzz!!!!

Ari don't need winter clothes. Ari's got magma armor. Just kidding. I've gotten a little better at manipulating images so I'll probably bring in some winter concepts before episode 14 rolls around.

Ayyyyy studying game design eh? Well I'd love to have a conversation about things of the like. I'm messing with sprites as of now too. I'd say the whole intro thing sheep does but currently the only thing coming to mind is Hukuna and the roleplay forum. Someone help me out here!

Well I have seen a lot of grinding threads pop up too so hey I'll pick one of the only times I grind ever. Prior to 3rd badge: Shelly Location- Below the Grand Stairwell Key Items/moves -pokemon with sweet scent -a flying type -After you've saved Victora from the meteors, this place works just fine for new team members. That also means its perfect for helping you get your team a bit closer to the level cap. To speed up the process have something like an oddish, carnivine or combee use sweet scent to quickly switch train against the unknown. The danger you'll have to watch out for is hidden power, which is impossible to prepare for since it could any random type. You might be lucky to have a pokemon with high special defense and attack power to help with the grind at that point in time. As your weaker pokemon grows it should be able to speed up the process by taking out the unknowns by itself.(unless your using diglet then good luck with sucker punch 5 times and a quick run to the pokemon center. They all pack levitate for stopping ground type moves.) The thing about this area is that it's a great spot to train right after beating Shelly as well. The experience the unknown give is very large even for some of the lower leveled ones. I think it becomes less efficient before aiming to obtain you're 5th badge where macargo's are available.

I don't really know what to say. I can understand the parting of Ari's hair in this case if we're aiming for more realism. Personally, I prefer the lighting on Ari's pants from Ame's sprite, just because it's a lot easier for me to notice the direction of light. Not bad Khrene.

Who like's trapping moves like whirlpool? I sure do! Which means I will abuse this buff as much as I possibly can. I must say that fighting Amaria underwater would be brutally difficult for fire users. I guess all you Blaziken fans will have to bench it this time.

Nice to meet ya! It looks like the server's down for the moment but it might get up and going soon. See ya around!
