Fumble

oops did not see this but HAPPY BIRTHDAY CG haven't really talked to you but you seem really nice and pretty active on the showdown server/forums so yea!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY ALEX dunno if you saw my appreciation post but again, we should really talk more :[ anw hope you enjoy your day!! <3

Just curious (bc i dont want to study), what are your favorite areas in the canon games? I personally don't have a favorite, but here's a bunch of areas that I love, mainly for their aesthetic/uniqueness: Castelia City (Unova): I live in New York, and I feel like Castelia's captured New York City perfectly - the skyscrapers, the sewers, the masses of people getting in your way, etc. Though I feel that the subway and port should be a lot dirtier... But anyway, it's definitely one of my all time favorite locations. Lumiose City (Kalos): Similarly to Castelia, Lumiose is huge, and I especially love the Prism Tower and all of the little shops and cafes. The only real downside for me is how big and confusing it is, but I really love it being in the center of Kalos, with all of the people and Pokemon there. Abandoned Ship (Hoenn): One of the few non-residential areas on this list, but the Abandoned Ship has always been one of my favorite areas thanks to its aura of mystery and little secrets. And even though it seems like a desolate area, I like how this ship is truly full of life, with both aquatic Pokemon and Trainers seeking adventure. Po Town (Alola): Team Skull is best team. (Really though, I love the idea of a town invaded by a villainous team and all the little details like the graffiti and how the Pokemon Center charges you, albeit a very small price) Nimbasa City (Unova): The main part of this city for me is the amusement park - even though it's honestly super lacking, the ferris wheel scene was always one of my favorite things about BW and I loved Elesa's Gym, which is surprising considering I've found most Gyms in the Pokemon series to be a bit lacking in terms of design. Snowpoint City (Sinnoh): Sinnoh was the region I started playing with, so even though I don't really like Gen 4 for some reason, Snowpoint City has always been one of my favorite areas ever. I love the quiet atmosphere, the music (I still hum the tune occasionally), and the snow - especially the diamond dust on those certain days it appears! Also my cover picture is actually Namie-kun's fanart of the city, recommend you check out her art!! #shamelesspromotion Ecruteak City (Johto): Ecruteak City is probably one of the only areas from Johto I like, mainly because I like the traditional Japanese style and lore of the Burned Tower. Plus the autumn trees are really pretty and I also really like the Kimono Girls! Konikoni City (Alola): Konikoni City has something I've wanted in Pokemon for a long time: a street filled with nothing but merchants and little shops. I really like markets like Konikoni, so I'm kinda disappointed by its small size, but I really like its concept! Laverre City (Kalos): Laverre City is so cool and mystical and I really like the natural look of the big mushrooms and autumn trees and everything and and and the Gym is so cool and it's in a tree and it's like a dollhouse and it's Fairy type and WOO Poni Meadow (Alola): Poni Meadow is GORGEOUS and my favorite of the "four" (sorry Ula'ula, you were a close second) (technically 4 but really 3 because ORICORIO PA'U WAS ROBBED). The purple flowers and the trees and the terrain and AAAA using the pokefinder here gives a super nice view it's just super pretty Sootopolis City (Hoenn): Sootopolis City is really interesting to me because it's in a freaking crater. I love how it's only accessible through Fly/Dive, and it just looks really cool too. Also really like how the history of the city goes! plus wallace's oras design... hehe Almia Castle (Almia): Moving on to less "official" regions but Almia Castle's super interesting to me design-wise and appearance-wise. I especially like how this castle is, like, super frozen. There's some pretty cool (and slightly infuriating) little puzzles, and I like how you have to light torches to get through. Ice is probably my favorite of the Dim Sum admins, too (though honestly, couldn't the creators think of any other name for him?). Coral Sea (Oblivia): Honestly I remember always hating this area because I remember being stuck here for a while, but aesthetically, this is one of my favorite areas from Guardian Signs. I find underwater areas IRL just really pretty in general, and Hoenn's diving routes always sorta felt bland and lacking, but Coral Sea does not disappoint. It's just super colorful and vibrant! Honorable Mentions: Route 113 (Hoenn), Sunyshore City (Sinnoh), Dreamyard (Unova), Undella Town (Unova), Reflection Cave (Kalos), Dendemille Town (Kalos), Route 15 (Kalos), Brooklet Hill (Alola), Ula'ula Meadow (Alola), Abandoned Thrifty Megamart (Alola), Aqua Resort (Oblivia), Faldera Volcano (Oblivia), Capim Town (SMD), Noe Town (SMD), Sahra Town (SMD) - just saying I feel like SMD should've done so much more with these last 3 locations; they aren't even required areas in-game which is a shame because I honestly find them being really nice to look at and just be in :[ Slightly Less Honorable Mention: Fortree City (Hoenn) - Good concept, bad execution imo

haven't been very active till like... last weekend?? but ok. these are gonna be short + sweet. @Azeria u scrub you were prob one of the first people i actually talked to on reborn, think it was about rejuv and in onyx arcade? i'll actually try to stay active over the summer i swear ;[ anw you're actually really fun to talk to (and FITE) and respect for helping out w/ redemption! @Tommy Wiseau u other scrub tbh sorry for bullying you so much :[ but even though your opinions on mons (cough dusty barkus bibarel cough) are trash we still luv you bibs <3 @Lost Lore hi losty! we don't really talk too much until lately (prob bc i've been MIA since forever) but i still appreciate your presence on showdown and you always telling me to do homework/study! your jokes and innuendos always manage to make me smile ;]] @DW~ u other other scrub sorry about leaving gaia rip and sorta disappearing during redemption oops but you're another person on showdown who i always appreciate and enjoy talking to, esp for your humor! also new york pride woo! @Hycrox dw ur not a scrub hy you dirty memer, by you dirty memer (honestly i have no idea what to say about you except you're a really funny person!) @Alex o/ i haven't talked to you in forever either! oops. but anyway we only REALLY started talking like a little before i sorta went poof, but it was super fun. you're really cool and great at spriting and AAAA also ty for that clarice banner you made for me, still have it somewhere! and also respect for your help with answering forum questions (mainly about rejuv) @frarpeto hi frar haven't seen you in forever, but i still remember chatting w/ you in the early days of redemption s2 and fighting. hope you're doing well! @Jericho also haven't seen you in forever rip, but anyway i really respect you for all you've done as a mod and for being you in general! you're super chill and vocal and i remember our few battles on the server. see ya in the future, maybe @Wendel we've pretty much only spoken in lobby of showdown, but regardless, you're really fun to be around and love bullying azery/bibs w/ you! @pyrromanis PYRRO! you're one of the few people who i've seen recently with the server's inactivity, and thanks for the help with rejuv, competitive, redemption, etc. etc. you're super cool and nice! lot of people i haven't seen or talked to in a while who i still remember and appreciate, and people who i haven't talked to much but still appreciate too!: @Zumi (side note: why does rejuv you pick the rarest mons to find I SPENT OVER AN HOUR LOOKING FOR A ZANGOOSE FOR YOU also good luck with xenogene hopefully my offer as a beta tester still stands by the time beta testing comes out. regardless i'll DEF play it, even if i'll be like 6 months late) @Juniper (ghost types suck) @Shing (special appreciation for you dude) @zimvader42 @BBD @Eterna (to the three of you - miss onyx arcade squad :[) @Simon @SHIA @Arkhi (haha remember that ol' archives idea? good times) @Cool Girl @Ice Cream Sand Witch (i seriously need to play the latest episode of spork soon) @Ironbound @InnocentSerenity @Xiri @Commander @Caradius (hi colin o/) @Tempest (sorry i still haven't joined discord yet ;[) @President Felix (still remember winning the holiday party ace in the cllub game with you!) @YinYang9705 (you're one of the few active showdown-ers left, we should prob talk more huh...) @mde2001 @Njab @Despair Syndrome (now you're the inactive one, miss you :[) @2tousent (hi tou! yet another active showdown-er, hope we talk more in the future too!) @Jan @Caz @Amethyst @DJ Mewdeon ft Dan Punk sorry if i forgot you im pretty much dead right now it's 1 am sue me should really be studying for finals instead of playing rejuv too huh. anw here's to another good year (unless i go poof again rip) edit: ok since post-posting (hahaha) this i've already remembered people i'll just list a bunch here: @Odybld (never really got to know you personally, but you're also super cool and down-to-earth and i miss your presence on showdown :[)@Spineblade @Guzam @Sparky @Tacos (honestly i don't really remember talking to you besides asking you for wine help but i remember seeing you liking hamilton AND THAT'S GOOD ENOUGH FOR ME) also wow the bottom of this post is a mess

Pretty sure it's a bug, idk if Jan knows about it though I'm pretty sure it's been reported. You'll probably be able to sell them once they have a price, but for now, they're worthless unless you want 99 Alola-Raichus. Also to the above question there should be 3 vendors at the area in Route 3; it should be the person above the egg seller and to the left of the ice cream vendor iirc.

bit late but Pretty Wing is solely for selling, I don't think any quest as of right now needs one either a lot of teams have changed after the Gen 7 update in v9, and Despair hasn't been active in a while (come back I miss you :[) so I doubt she'll be updating this guide anytime soon, unfortunately :[ i might be interested in editing/finishing this post-finals but idk if I'll have the time to (haha rip my completionist reborn guide ;[)

@Njab - stantler and tympole arent shadow pokemon anymore - quagsire is now a shadow pokemon in carotos cave - meowth (kanto) and happiny are shadow pokemon in goldenwood forest - carotos cave for zubat should be mirage cave instead - pikachu can also be evolved into alola-raichu at terajuma - cubone evolves into alola marowak specifically in goldenwood forest (pretty sure) - there are also aipom outside on the big center tree of route 2 during the day - pretty sure squirtle is only if you chose a grass starter, not fire - i think dustox is also available in sheridan village (at night maybe)?? might be wrong about this one though - i believe venipede's also in phisial cave

^ happens to me too Also, when the Snag Machine is broken and in your bag, it says "Once was a machine that was capable of capturing Shadow Pokemon. Madelis interfered with the device and" and it doesn't continue from there. Another minor thing but after Venam leaves but you're still where her trial is (so Marianette hasn't left yet), Marianette still says we have to go to the 3 corners even though we've saved Luca, Lenny, and Venam already.

happy birthday losty! i'll have you know that i did in fact study for my final this weekend be proud of me

i agree with this ranking but i'd just like to mention that it's like the first pokemon to be able to learn rain dance so if you really want that for early fights (maybe for a water mono?) go ahead and use it until you can get literally anything else idk what its shadow-only moves are though

very minor continuity error but I feel like the people who Melia told to hide in Goldenwood Grotto should actually be there if you go back, though I doubt many people would actually go back

does anyone know what the passcode 3845 is used for? it's on melia's briefcase at the goldenwood grove when she wants to fight you (pre-venam) edit: nvm it gets you an ability capsule if you put it in melia's briefcase

voltorb should be in the first section; you can get it on your fifth time buying from the guy who sells overpriced pokeballs (so you'd have to pay 2000 poke (or 1600? I think he says you can have it for free but I don't remember)) also ooh riolu's a jackpot starter now that's a new one edit: wait you can get lillipup before venam?? huh I thought you needed at least one badge

unsure if it's just me but the person in the emerald building in gearen who requests a battle will just keep repeating "how about a quick battle to pass the time" if you press no, forcing you to accept it

actually you can if you picked nova!! :^D

"These moves increase in base power x3: Splash" nice and powerful

i think you just need to put all your version 7 pokemon in the pc and not touch them until you go back to the current version; pretty sure that's what you need to do with gen 6 pokemon if you want to go back to an older version of reborn

not all the fields are from reborn; there's some unique ones (e.g. cloud field) i'd report it here / to Caz, and if it's a reborn field that has a bug, i'd test it out in reborn first to see if it exists in reborn before reporting it in bug reporting

I believe you cannot fish for one You need to give it Pokesnax

agree q-q

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MDE hope you become less busy in the future and keep on helping out here!! :]

the rangers guild quest about weeping hill still says it's on route 1 instead of route 2

may want to check this out; hasn't been updated for e16, but most of the areas in e15 should have relatively the same encounters as they are now unfortunately it doesn't have a very good answer as to where you can grind SpD, since there's not many very good areas to do so, rip
