Depends how much you're willing to work to make your team more well-rounded and competitive. I really like all those pokemon, but constantly keeping 2 FIre types and 2 Water types in the permanent team is just generally not a good idea. Especially in Reborn, as you may have noticed browsing the forums, most people have a main team and several rotational pokemon on top of that. As such, my advice would be to keep Delphox, Lapras, and Throh (I'm not a huge fan, but based on your username I assume you are). That's a solid trio that covers 5 types. Some options for the other 3 include: Magnezone (highly recommend), Torterra (can get a Turtwig in Agate Circus if you don't already have it), Flygon (Trapinch is available in the arcade, I recommend Voltorb Flip to get enough coins), Braviary (Rufflet is available right outside Agate Circus), etc. There are plenty of other options as well, those are just a few I personally use. Anywho, it will be time consuming but I recommend getting the Exp. Share (it used to be on 7th Street, but I think Ame moved it) and grinding up one new pokemon at a time by repeatedly battling the clown in Agate Circus. That's what I've been doing to improve my team/rotational pokemon while I wait for E16.

Speaking of failed head coaches getting a second chance... That's what completely infuriated me about my Titans hiring Whisenhunt last year. I've been staunchly against the hire from day 1, and if they proceed to draft Jameis Winston I'm fairly confident I'll just be taking a break from watching NFL football altogether.

I have to respectfully disagree with that. After seeing Cardale Jones' performance in his first 3 career starts (on 3 of the biggest CFB stages no less), can any of us really say with confidence that Ohio State would have done any different during the regular season with him at the helm? Frankly, I don't think so. Aside from that, I don't see Barrett having to sit out a year as being all that much different than what he's probably going to end up doing with the Buckeyes next year. What I didn't realize when I posted the initial one is that JT Barrett is only a RSFR, so even if he has to back up Jones next year, he could still take the reigns from then on. It's not like Ohio State can really go wrong with either choice at QB at this point lol. I have been a pseudo-fan of TCU for years (meaning, I honestly just enjoy watching them play), and I have to say I completely agree with this sentiment.

Cardale Jones won them a NC, I wouldn't be surprised if he's the starter next year based on that alone. Not to mention the Big Ten championship and Sugar Bowl win against Alabama. Honestly, if I were Barrett and Miller I'd be transferring to other power programs who are losing/in need of QB's. LSU is one such destination that would make sense.

Heck, I wouldn't be surprised if he has an outstanding combine/pro day and ends up skyrocketing back up boards, possibly back into the first round based solely on his intangibles rather than actual game performance.

I absolutely will check out the Athletics forum! As for who the Titans should draft, I'm not a fan of any of the QB's in this years draft, so I'm a huge advocate for us to go defense not just early in the draft, but frequently. I think Mettenberger showed some interesting ability this year before getting hurt and we should give him another year (plus some competition) to see what he has. Meanwhile we can focus on realigning our defense for Ray Horton's 3-4 after being a 4-3 team for so long. I'll definitely be checking out a bunch of the pinned forum topics, as well as the Showdown Server. Might find I like the competitive game, who knows? Thanks for the warm welcome guys!

Brett Hundley declared?!?!? Thats a huge mistake on his part... Could've definitely used another year to polish his game.

Hello fellow Reborn fans! My name is Dylan, username Trajon, I'm perfectly happy to answer to either so use whichever you prefer. For those of you wondering what the deal is with the title see here (Youtube Link). For the record, my name is not actually pronounced like "dye-lawn" it is properly pronounced just like "Dillon," thats just a nickname I received from several of my friends at work inspired by that clip. I find it to be quite amusing, so I use it quite often for fun. I'm not particularly new to Reborn, I've been playing for a couple months now but I've restarted several times so I have yet to catch up to Episode 14 as of yet. I've been a fan of Pokemon since Yellow which I first played when I was about 6, so I've been a fan roughly 13 years and I've played every generation. (*Side Note* Generations ranked from worst to first in my eyes are: Gen V, Gen IV, Gen VI, Gen II, Gen I, Gen III.) However, I consider myself a casual fan as I've never really gotten into EV training or competitive battling in any form. As for how I came across Reborn, I honestly don't remember. That said, I do remember being absolutely shocked that something this awesome existed, was made in RPG Maker, and by a fan! So kudos and much thanks to Ame for making such a phenomenal game! I often find myself playing Reborn, and wishing GameFreak would make their entries more like Reborn. As for me personally... I'm a video game addict, I mostly play on Playstation 4/Vita but I also have a Wii U and 3DS because I can't miss out on those Nintendo exclusives! I casually watch anime. I'm also an avid fan of (American) Football, my favorite NFL team being the Tennessee Titans and College team being the Tennessee Volunteers. If you couldn't guess based on those teams alone, yes, I was born and raised in Tennessee. I am currently a student at the local college, just changed my major to Computer Information Systems, and I work at a local restaurant where I've worked since my Junior year of High School. In reality, I'm a shy person, although admittedly far less so since I started working. I'm also very opinionated, but I try my best to keep an open mind and allow my own opinions to be challenged/swayed when presented with a reasonable argument/debate. Favorite Non-Pokemon Video Game Franchises: Anything Naughty Dog (Crash Bandicoot, Jak and Daxter, Uncharted, The Last of Us), Persona (Particularly 4), Shadow of the Collosus, Fallout, Anything TellTale since The Walking Dead. Favorite Anime: ANYTHING from Key (Clannad (#1), Angel Beats!, Little Busters!, Air, Kanon), Accel World, Rurouni Kenshin, and Death Note. So there you have it folks! I'll probably be pretty active around the forums now, hope this wasn't too long for you guys!
