Ice Cream Sand Witch

Wait, weren't we supposed to be doing the thing where we put new information in spoilers for those who don't want to be spoiled?

I was above the PULSE Swalot and even if I didn't have to deal with disobedience sometimes it'd probably still take out a good number of my team.

For the land upgrading, you just exit the camp and then re-enter. All of them are on the mainland IIRC.

There's 9 as of right now.

I think it'd be better if the poll was multiple choice since some people have a few favorite types. For me it's currently a four way tie between Electric, Fairy, Water, and Psychic. Electric has my favorite Pokemon, Ampharos. Besides that I guess they're mostly my favorite types for aesthetic reasons.

There should be a Water type deer called Raindeer.

If you talk to the machine outside the arena that the gym guide has been replaced with, Ame says she didn't know Sigmund wasn't letting Noel battle and that she'd have to talk to him about it because it wasn't part of the deal.

How about a Water/Poison blue-ringed octopus?

The NPC says that she just turned 10.

Pokemon that use diseases as a defense mechanism would be Poison, I think. Also Deoxys's lore says that it was a space virus that turned into a Pokemon after being exposed to a laser beam (which in ORAS was revealed as AZ's ultimate weapon).

Heather is 10 though (not sure why everyone's saying she's 9?), and what you described sounds more like a 4 or 5 year old to me. Someone Heather's age should be able to understand type effectiveness, status conditions, and abilities at least, I think. Plus like I mentioned, she could've learned from watching Corey's battles (and Shelly too, since I just remembered they're friends). My body and mind literally stopped developing as a kid, so I'm not much older than Heather. But I've beaten Whitney's Miltank without much trouble by using strategy and got all the silver symbols in Emerald's Battle Frontier. This I agree with. I think it was like that for Charlotte too, and Fern is the backup for Florinia. I think backups/next in line shouldn't automatically go to family if there's someone known about that's better than them.

I don't get why her being 10 would make it impossible for her to be Elite 4 level. I think what would be more confusing is her being E4 despite how sheltered she was by Corey. Corey never really let her go anywhere or do anything. I doubt she was allowed to just train whenever she wanted, and she said Corey didn't let her battle him. My best explanation for that is that if she inherited her mom's Pokemon, they would already be extremely powerful by default given they were owned and raised by an E4. Someone who's never battled before could be given a Master Ball and catch a legendary with it, and they'd beat most Gym Leaders even though they have no experience because what they're using is that strong. Furthermore her team is hyper-offense so it's not like she's a genius strategist, she just has the power to tear through almost anything. But she might have watched Corey's battles and learned from those too. It's been said by a few NPCs in the main series that age has nothing to do with battling. One in particular I remember was an ace trainer on the route before Veilstone in DPPt who said things like age and gender are meaningless in Pokemon battles. If it did, the player characters wouldn't be able to beat people like Pryce, Wattson, and Agatha.

Oh, I just thought of something while thinking about how Reborn will be reborn in E16. Adrienn is the spearheader of the #makereborngreatagain project in-game. From my understanding, Gen 6 where Adrienn's type was introduced came out while Reborn was in episode 10, and the entire story had been planned out since episode 3. So if Fairy type weren't introduced, Adrienn wouldn't have taken the spot online or existed in-game. Before episode 10, who was originally going to be in charge of cleaning up and remodeling the city, or was it going to be a general community project?

A turkey Pokemon that looks like this:

Oh, she wasn't their friend. She broke Laura's crayons IIRC.

Yeah, Vanillite has a solid face under the ice cream layer.

Bibarel warns you of danger: Biwarel Bibarel x Azumarill: Bimarill A trainer named Daryl nicknames his Bibarel after himself: Bidaryl A wild Bibarel: Biferal Happy birthday Bibs! Here's an ice cream sandwich

The "please do disassociate yourself from Queen/King's Game" messages are mixed up. The one under Queen's Game says King's Game and vice versa. There was a game of it during the winter party after all the other events ended, though it wasn't official.

...oh, I actually can't think of any off the top of my head. I'm sure Viri had something in mind, though. Serra let her son go off with some guy that literally just walked into their house offering to make him an Elite 4. Wouldn't most people think that's too good to be true? (not sure why she didn't recognize him as an E4 to begin with, but since she didn't, she should've been WAY more suspicious)

I think Viri was just saying that she's made irrational decisions, not that she's made bad decisions morally. I think the only characters in Reborn free from dumb decisions right now are Shelly, Ciel, Terra, Lin, and Arclight. Shelly because she hasn't ever been put into a position where she needed to take initiative. She's too passive to do that. Ciel because she's one of the least involved with the plot and has only ever interacted with the other circus trio (Samson shutting off the computer without knowing what would happen is possibly dumb). Terra because she doesn't make decisions to begin with, she just memes. Lin because she's only had one appearance and was extremely competent during it. Arclight for similar reasons to Ciel. EDIT: Actually maybe Noel too.

After beating Team Meteor at the mansion, Solaris says he doesn't want to get Lin involved but doesn't see another option. So if Lin were Florinia, that would mean he's talking about asking Lin to help take out a group of which Lin is in. Also Florinia isn't literally a robot; she's called that because she suppresses her emotions and pretends to be matter-of-fact. Her diary in the school offers a glimpse of emotion, and so does her dialogue in the mansion if you beat Solaris's Garchomp at Pyrous Mountain.

There aren't any official walkthroughs, but you could probably find let's plays on Youtube.

From where do we know the retired samurai looking guy's name is Hala? I haven't seen it mentioned in trailers, Corocoro, or the official site, but more than one person here knows his name.

I haven't been keeping up with this for a while (last time I checked in was the Mars colony talk) but I just thought of a question that I hope will be interesting. If someone has a crime committed against them but they don't really care or it hardly effected them, should they still report it? Let's say for example Person A breaks into Person B's house and steals a watch. Person B doesn't care, because they have plenty of other clocks in the house plus a phone for telling time. So on a personal level, this pretty much means nothing to person B other than maybe they should tighten their security before someone steals something that actually matters to them. I'd say they should still report it because even though Person B didn't have anything they consider of value taken from them, Person C or so on might. It's not just about what happened to Person B, but what could happen to other people. Edit: I probably could've used a better example because even without the stealing, knowing that someone broke into your home would freak most people out. But I think my question was clear enough to be understood.

Basically what mde said. I'd play if I actually liked the character. If they have a personality I don't like or if they did or said something that I wouldn't do (like reading Titania's diary; I'm glad that's being changed in E16) that would turn me off. Having an established backstory is almost always awesome, but an established personality depends on whether I like the personality or not.
