  1. Something to keep in mind about Anna is she is a Psychic specialist, so the sorts of rules of the universe that normally apply bend for her, hence she can see Charlotte's "scars" from the fire. She also seems to have slight powers of prophecy from what we have seen so far and she has been the engineer behind most of our encounters with Team Meteor. I personally feel like she just kinda met Shade by just finding him floating around somewhere, and, being Anna, she became friends with the spooky man in the shadows. This theory also doesn't explain Radomus's reaction to the Amethyst Pendant when we split up after his gym battle (which I do hope we will see the fruits soon).
  2. Once Episode 16 is released, you should be able to access that area. That being said, don't hold your breath on Episode 16 coming around anytime in this year. It's a long ways off still.
  3. At A Glance Team Building Process I decided I wanted to get back into UU since it's pretty awesome and there are tons of interesting Pokemon down there. One in particular caught my eye as neat, but something I had never really used much outside of Random Battles before: Scarf Moxie Krookodile. It's a strong sweeper that only continues to get stronger as it destroys things with its dual STAB moves hitting almost anything for neutral. Pursuit is also there to trap annoying mons like Froslass and regular Hoopa. The first thing I decided to do to support Krook was to get a strong, fast special Sweeper to clean up the physical walls that Krook couldn't. This also meant that the special sweeper could come in after Krook weakened the special walls. I scrolled through the lists of mons in UU and settled on Mega Sceptile, since it's fast as hell, can hit quite hard (especially since Mega Bird Jesus is gone), and can really hurt Suicune and Vaporeon, some of the most annoying Physical walls in UU. From here, I was beginning to notice that I had nothing to handle Fairies like Florges and Whimsicott. I also noticed I was quite weak to status, so I decided to fight fire with fire and added on an Aromatherapy Florges. The thing is hella bulky and if it starts setting up, most people are prone to forfeit. Wish (over Moonlight/Synthesis) is there to supply extra cleric support as well. Here I wanted a strong wallbreaker, so on went Feraligatr. It basically clicks DD and then Waterfall/Ice Punch. There's honestly not much to say. I have EQ on there for coverage and hitting Vaporeon/Suicune. Basically from there I just wanted something to hit Faries with SE damage, Hazard control (both removal and adding them), and a Fighting resist. I was considering Donphan because he's cool, but I already have stronger Ground STAB and I didn't want another fat, slow mon. He also doesn't resist Fighting. Instead, I decided on Cobalion, which can set up Rocks, Taunt any Forrtress lead, and then just get out. Iron Head for STAB to hit Faries and CC for hitting things hard. With one slot left and still missing hazard removal and a Fighting resist, I frantically looked through the lists of mons and found, lo and behold, the exact mon I was looking for without even knowing it had become UU: Zapdos. Heat Wave for actually killing Forrtress, Flying typing to resist Fighting, Electric just for solid STAB with Volt Switch, Defog for removing Rocks, Spikes, and Webs, and Roost to heal. Analysis Exportable As always, please feel free to add whatever criticism you may have.
  4. Apparently right when I wanted to go play some UU again, Zapdos was moved down into UU. I gotta say, it's the first time I've ever used it and it is pretty cool.

  5. Call me weird, but I actually prefer most Pokémon to have their original color palette over the shiny one.

      Cheers. Also I prefer some of the gen2 palettes, but hell, I'm really weird.

      Some, but not all. Shiny mega Rayquaza is life.

  6. Drop Flamethrower on Volc in favor of Heat Wave. It hurts way harder in Doubles and Triples since it can hit everyone if you have Volc in the center. Furthermore, drop Bulk Up on Conk since it is more so a mon that you kinda just wantto punch things with ASAP. Replace it with Wide Guard to protect against spread moves. These will discourage the leaders from fighting you in Doubles and Triples, which would allow you more chance to abuse Volcarona to sweep everything.
  7. Metang is really snazy, as is Porygon2. I also like Charmelon and Grovyle.
  8. Sludge Bomb Zoroark has now been released. Use Mystery Gift (North America) to get one.

  9. Yeeeeeeah I'm pretty sure that the relearner was changed to make It so you couldn't just Mamoswine her into oblivion. If you want another mon that wrecks Aya tho, try a Solid Rock Camerupt, which learns Earth Power, a base 90 STAB move that uses that strong special attack stat, via level up. Solid Rock should help it tank a hit if needed. Also maybe grab an electric type to eliminate Tentacruel.
  10. I'm sure I'd turn out pretty okay. Both of you are pretty cool.
  11. Happy birthday, Hilda! Tbh I still feel a little bad that I didn't get killed off in mafia the other day when I was clearly the mafia. Sorry about that.
  12. You can find Quick Claws on wild Meowths. Just grab a mon with Frisk to find one and steal it/catch the Meowth. This should make it easier on you. Also it should be noted that the mon in the Mystery Egg is determined as the player picks their starter, which could save you a few minutes each time you try to reset for a different mon.
  13. Post 900. Last real landmark before 1k.

  14. Now I'm a strage-un because I don't actually hate journalists. Heck, I actually like them. That is of course when they do their job as it was intended. The media has incredible power over everyone and if used correctly it can be a superb driving tool for progresss in all fields. My older brother is actually a journalist and he loves to go out and inform people as to the truth about issues. He hates censorship and wants everyone to know the true facts of the matter. He doesn't care as to what they think about the matter, but more so that the truth is known. That article, however, is not journalism. That's a goddamn scam. If you scroll down into the comments, one guy says that you can have the article removed if you make a "nice donation" to the author of the article. This leads me to believe that the author is being intentionally provocative to ellict money from offended strangers on the internet, which, while a seemingly nice short term solution, it is inherently flawed in the long term as all you do for paying the author to take down the article is reward his bad behavior. So please, I beg of you, ignore the troll who has his reaching out for your wallet.
  15. For the love of- would people please stop using Entrainment Durant? If you want to use Durant, just use Hustle Hone Claws, because that is terrifying. The Entrainment set is just mildly annoying and it decimated by the common VoltTurn core.

      Don't ask me Zim. It's a dumb strat that's easily trumped, yet for some reason I keep finding people who insist on trying to make in viable in OU.

      I see. You could play other tiers until the fad passes away in OU?

  16. Almost done with this speech, then I'll post it in the Trainer's Journal...

  17. I feel like challenging myself a bit more so I think I'll finally get around to doing a nuzlocke. Granted, with my in-game luck, I'll be down and out by the first gym.

  18. How could I possibly mind? I've been hyped for this thing all summer and now we're finally in the home stretch? I certainly don't mind waiting another week and a half. Hell, the timing is actually perfect since I've got something going on next week so I'll be able to come back fro ma long, stressful weekend to be able to plunge into the world you awesome guys have crafted. I hope the Beta goes smoothly and you fix all the bugs... besides the pnes that are catchable, of course. I, for one, am certainly looking forward to testing out all of those little scuttling cirtters.

    Radomus

    I see his "dark side," but in comparison with most of the other cast members, Radomus's "dark" side is like the embrace of a mountain of kittens. You'll see what I mean as you progress more, but I'd rather not post a very specific spoiler or two.
  20. Just finished the emotional ride that is The Wolf Among Us. Pretty short, but a refreshing take on Fairy tales. It was certainly worth the sale price on Steam.

  21. Dark seems more likely to me at this point, as Drapion is excellent to help deal with the weaknesses of Dark by resisting Fighting, Fairy, and Bug. Drapion is still solid for Poison and I wouldn't be surprised to see it in the Poison leader's team, but it does more for Dark than it does for Poison.
  22. I already hate happiness evolutions as is, but happiness evolutions that don't trigger when I am supposedly at max Happiness at the right time of day is worse.

      BlueMoonIceCream

      I hate that too, it drives me crazy because I forget that's how you evolve it and I end up over leveling it or spending too much money

      I seem to forget which are which, usually. Why in the hell is Chingling only at night?

      dont mind happiness evo, but on top of that time based happiness?I want my Roselia at night

  23. I don't usually reply to the introduction threads, but the title caught my attention, so welcome back to Reborn! I hope it's just as insane and zany as you remember it. Feel free to come hang out with us on the Shwodown server if you want to talk or chat or just watch the chaos unfold. See ya around!
