ZEL

You're my favourite person in this thread now. I'm cranky Fern no longer qualifies for "other" and I therefore couldn't vote for him.

My favourite gym leader is Aya because I find her to be the most relatable of them. I know a lot of people see her behavior played up as typical teenage angst, but with my personality disorder, a lot of what she says and how she thinks hits close to home. I'd have to type out multiple paragraphs if I wanted to elaborate on this, but I'd rather spare you. So let's just say I can sympathize with her a ton, and am very invested in seeing her (hopefully!) move into a better future. Also, her relationship with Hardy is wholesome. My favourite of the non-leader/non-Meteor characters is Laura. I'm not really super invested in her character, but out of the choices we were given, I find her to be the most likeable. She's one of the more gentle characters in the game, and I appreciate that. I'll leave my Meteor vote a mystery. I'm sure you'll never guess.

Aaaall the long hair is gone again~

It's perfect, thank you and have the best of days! :3

I'd say that's a good pace, especially for a first-time playthrough! You can take as much time as you want, whatever makes it the most fun to you. It's not a competition, after all! Reborn likes to reward exploration and patience (hidden items, sidequests, time specific events, etc), so it can be a good idea to take your time instead of trying to breeze through every part. Some neat 'mons and items are often locked behind events (in the case of 'mons often way before they are available in the wild), so it makes sense to stop and talk to NPCs and check out locations under different weather conditions, all that stuff.

Oh most generous Christmas Kitten, do you have a hat to spare for these tired souls I would be most grateful and indebted to you, for I have been awaiting a hattening thread ♥

Heya, and welcome \o Don't worry - you don't actually have to be some sort of competitive pro to be able to play and finish Reborn. I fucking suck at comp and still beat the game multiple times. It's all about encouraging you to get creative, whether that be with the 'mons you like, or by trying out ones you've never used before^^ We believe in you! (But if you do need help, people here are more than willing to provide, too~) Enjoy your stay here !

Time for an ama you say Well here I am I even brought some of those party blowers Happiest anniversary of the day on which you were born In a few more years you're gonna be a grey fox Now I must know... Can you tell me the difference between Taka Alcantara and a large bird Also if you could visit any city in the world, which would be the first you'd wanna go to?

Nope^^ USUM content is not available in the game yet, including Duskroc.

Over here c:

You have to use Power Gem / Earthquake during a battle in there to transform the cave^^

Go to this thread to find the download link: All forum members are able to download and play the episode, but anyone not registered has to wait until the public release.

You can also obtain alolan evolutions by evolving them on Apophyll Island.

Dunno whether to make an entirely new post or just point it out here, but I thiiink someone ought to put that Magnezone back in place on the old header & theme: It decided to start moving around rather than letting the background do so :') I mean, I'm all for freedom for all those poor PULSE mons, but we might have to make an exception for our pal up there. Other than that: I've been complaining about the "trivial" ace privileges for so long that it's honestly gonna be refreshing to finally be able to do the basic things. Thank you!~ Oh, and have fun @ everyone with the episode, I guess :')

@DreamblitzX Yeah, I was bc i didn't see someone already linked you the thread you were looking for, rip Which i didn't see because the answer-format is terrible for my brain. Sorry man D: PS: The comment went bc I reported it to be deleted. Sorry²

IIRC it was originally done because rep count was meant to be a factor in earning exp. That's also why the limit on how much rep you can give per day was lowered.

Everything prior to December 2016 actually doesn't matter, as everyone's rep was reset back to 0 during the update^^ So whatever rep people have now is all from the past year.

It's covered under the FAQ for the game, which can be found in the "Pokemon Reborn" part of the menu right below the download link^^ http://www.rebornevo.com/index.php?/pr/gamefaq/ The first question answered is "When can I expect the next release?", which refers to episode releases of all kinds.

Hmm, we used to have a thread where people could post where they're from, but I'm afraid it's been moved to the archived topics after the forum update, and I don't think we've had a newer version ever since. But if you're curious about that kinda thing, it can still be read (I'm not sure if the list on the front page is up to date to the last page, but I think it isn't): Would be kinda nice to have a remake of this, actually. We've gotten a ton of new users since that update.^^

actual image of me Welcome to the non-lurker life, I guess \o If you're worried that you're not gonna be very active on here even though you want to, you could try joining us on our discord server (if you haven't already). It has a channel for discussing the game as well, so if you're interested in the kinda small talk you wouldn't wanna start a thread for, that's ideal ^^

Quote machine broke sorry bibs please have a nice day But this is very much a thing. More so, I actually often give up on even using the search function and wade through the board index pages manually to find what I'm looking for, because often I find myself in the situation where I know something has been discussed before, but using the search won't give me the results that I know are out there. Maybe because the actual thread doesn't use the keyword I'm searching for despite being about that thing, or whatever. Some keywords are also so broad that you have to wade through a ton of unhelpful results, and not everyone's good at figuring out how to narrow it down. On another site I'm on, I often get people asking me to help them with finding stuff, because they've been looking for [type of thread] and can't seem to find it, or they're trying to find a thread they already saw before, but can't seem to find again - and from them using the wrong words in the search, to our search function sometimes breaking, to them not searching in the right board because the thread isn't where they expected it to be... there's lots of ways for things to get wrong even if a person actually does try to help themselves. The other week I've tossed a link to a thread that's been in use for seven years to a user who's been active for nine years. It happens. Some topics are certainly easier to search for than others, but personally I find this forum overall not the easiest to navigate for newcomers. Hell, I still find it annoying to use at times, and the unfortunate bugs that staff are still trying to fight with don't help. For a teensy bit of advice, if a question comes up a lot, something I have done elsewhere is to keep a copy-paste response that covers everything related to said question. Explanation, maybe a few useful links... Never done this for Reborn because I don't use the forums here often enough / don't usually go around trying to answer questions, but having a bunch of pre-written responses to common questions makes life easier for me elsewhere^^ That said, I sign guilty as charged of using the "episode gets delayed" joke in recent history, so I guess this is also me saying I'll lay that to rest. Sorry!

Personally I'd say wait until E17 is released. It really isn't going to be a long wait any more now. Beta started earlier this month, and Ame posted on her patreon that she dealt with the chunk of bugs found during Beta over Thanksgiving. This way you get to enjoy all the new Gen 7 content, including the new 'mons, items, updates to trainers' teams, and general fixes to issus in the game. (Most famously, E16 weather is majorly borked, and E17 fixes that. That'll save you some pain for weather based events.)

I always use a mix, I wouldn't have the heart to replace entire teams in already ongoing runs. My main team is definitely going to get a Silvally, which is probably gonna replace my Absol since I usually default Silvally to a Dark type if I'm not preparing for a specific battle. Psychic mono gets Bruxish as an addition. Flying/Normal team gets Toucannon. I started a Dark run during the Alpha that has Litten as its starter, so I guess that counts, too? So... Klinklang / Staraptor / Silvally / Mamoswine / Espeon / Arcanine + Noctowl and Metagross Espeon / Malamar / Sigilyph / Delphox / Metagross / Bruxish + Gardevoir Pidgeot / Swellow / Dodrio / Toucannon / Chatot / Staraptor + Fearow, Braviary and Noctowl Incineroar / Mightyena / Umbreon / Honchkrow / Weavile / Bisharp + Sharpedo and Houndoom
