The Swordsman

I don't see Taka dieing, it would undermine the Ideals route.

I would be OK with it depending on the Ubers, if its like jumpluff and maybe one common legendary (Bird trio, Lati@s, etc) then fine but if its something that they really shouldn't have like Dialga then I'm going to complain. I'm in this for the plot and characters, Reborn unlike most fan games has been very good at staying faithful to the game's lore. The different route bosses is a great idea but IMO Lin and Giratina secretly being good isn't. It doesn't line up Lin's personality and Giraina was so violent it was locked up in the Distortion World. Pokemon isn't really the place to do the subversive God is evil and Satan is good trope. I'd also like both routes to be valid, having the Zeckrom route end on a bad end where everyone is stuck in a timeloop just because you decided to support a fan favorite character is needlessly punishing.

Ah backup has arrived. Return Jiggly! While your Crobat could use it's Extreme Speed to knock out Galahad, I have someone that will make it Knock Off. Go Artorias! (the pokeball releases a Dusk Lycanroc) Face it you Impidimp, even if you somehow got past Ultra Necrozma's squad I will at the very least be able to revive Angel and heal Galahad if not get away entirely. You have no Chansey, you are at the Stone Edge of defeat!

I would only use the sword wolf legendary in the final battle (whenever that would be) if it was available.

Type advantage isn't everything and you forget I mega evolved Galahad earlier in our confrontation. Since you failed to do anything to boost your normal Charizard it lacked the power to oneshot Galahad and got slayed by the knight's critical psycho cut! I defend them because I was commanded to. Arceus wants them alive so trainers can enjoy having a Roserade if they wish to. Like I said I am merely a servant. Now if you excuse me I need to heal my pokemon and take these Budew to a safe place so I have no time to listen to the ramblings of a criminal. (throws a pokeball holding a Wigglytuff) Have a nice nap, the police will be with you shortly! (Jiggly the Wigglytuff starts singing and you feel drowsy)

It was a distraction, while you were occupied with Angel, I had Galahad knock out your Charizard and switch out the budew with actual grilled veggies. The Reborn region will continue to have a perfect national pokedex!

You're not getting away that easy, I'll make you flinch so much you won't be able to move. Angel use air slash!

No nothing so grand as that, I'm merely a humble servant like that heretic Elias used to be but if its angels you want.... (throws two pokeballs releasing Galahad the Gallade and Angel the Togekiss, both male and LV100) The Budew have committed no sin, only the lord is the decider of that not you! You should also know that the police are on their way, there is no escape for you, justice will be done. Its time to tip the scales! (The Swordsman's Arceus pendant glows and Galahad evolves into Mega Gallade, all three then rush at you)

I've been told by our lord to come and stop you. (draws sword and points it at you) Release the Budews now or I will drag you into the light!

I agree and its something I give Rejuvenation credit over Reborn for as it has difficulty levels without punishing the player for their choice. (as far as I'm aware) Part of the problem with Reborn's obsession with being difficult is that as of the currently released episode it has thrown away its tough but fair difficulty away for fake difficulty with Team Meteor's new machines. (only them though for now) I genuinely fear that there will come a day where the obsession gets so out of hand that you will be forced to use certain pokemon.

Now that the game is officially out I can confirm that I won't be buying SWSH. Honestly though, if GF is so burned out from the Pokemon franchise that they are unwilling even to keep up the standard quality from the hand held games, (going by a previous interview they want to make this the new standard) maybe its time for someone else in Nintendo to take a shot. This will be my final post on the subject unless GF turns the ship around and make the old pokemon DLC, (and of course fix the really bad bugs the games have at launch) the problems with this Gen is apparent, talking about this just bums me out and ultimately this is supposed to be a discussion on the game, I have no place here anymore.

I don't know if to trust the leaks or not as they have been wrong before, so I'm going to wait and see the official dex list but so far it looks like I'm not buying it. That music track done by Toby is amazing though.

Angie was originally one of the Protectors of Aevium and a true follower of Arceus named Anju, she was corrupted and turned into a puppet named Angie by Indriad/Vitus/Sirius Theolia. So while I do not want to save the Angie personality, saving Anju is actually one of my main priorities that I hope will be possible one day. The sad thing is you can find her in the manor from the sewer entrance before she was brainwashed and she gives you a key for the forest that has piplup for discovering her cell, but she refuses to go with you because she is afraid it will endanger your life. Sadly she also has a son somewhere but I haven't made any progress on that either.

^This What seems cruel from one point of view, may in fact be something good for you or for the protection of others. The problem is mortals never have the complete picture.

Its easy for me to pick my pokemon team as I always go for my favorites no matter how hard it makes the game, however this does make it difficult to make changes when the next gen comes around depending on the pokemon but not in fan games.

Yes its MUCH better to actively push for the games to get worse and worse with core features being removed just because you are annoyed with some people, that'll really show them. (sarcasm)

HA! Jokes on you I... Oh thanks.

No, I just put in the parts I agreed with.

I disagree with both notions, as the only problem I see that ruins Pokemon is this game. Gen 6 while initially lackluster with its plot and characters, (ORAS would mostly fix this) still gave the best type in Pokemon, buffed several older pokemon stat wise and gave us Mega Evolution. I also personally loved the upgraded graphics and use of cinematic angles. Gen 7 went back to the more serious plots of the beloved Gen 5, improved on everything before, introduced sidequests, introduced Z moves and finally introduced a very interesting postgame plot. I do agree with this section though,

The reasons are one because the original level cap was decided by GF for balancing reasons, two since you apparently missed this part it causes the game to slow down which will be a problem for some users, three its fake difficulty and four not everyone plays Reborn for the challenge. Of course making it optional should stratify everyone and sidestep these issues.

Not going to happen at least from me, this is the general topic for Pokemon SW&SH, not a positive only topic or a echo chamber. If I have something negative to say, I will say it. Like I said before if a negative comment does bother you, it is possible to move on to the next post, no one is forcing you to read that comment. Now with that out of the way, I am interested in the new elephant(?) pokemon and think that the new ghost type gym leader is a nice shout out to the Shy Guys from the Mario series.

People are allowed to be negative and the original reply did have something to do with the new content as from the information he had at the time it seemed like one of his pokemon was replaced. If you don't like seeing people not liking the game for understandable reasons than just move on to the next post.

I'm very much on the side of being rebellious as Team Bladestar wasn't really that sympathetic and almost as bad as Team Xen and I hate most of Team Xen.

He just made things worse, I won't be surprised if this game under performs and I won't feel sorry for GF if it does.
