  1. I believe the biggest fear we have with the new metagame will be similar to what Pyrrhon said, only on a grander scale. The VGC 2015 metagame was pretty much plagued by Lando-T and Mega Kangaskhan, and everything else thrown in was gravy and up to the discretion of each player. The finals of the 2015 World Championships featured a mirror match split down the middle exactly, with the exception to one guy using Volcarona, and the other using Cresselia. Other than that, the usual suspects of Lando-T, Thundy, and the usual generic mons. Anyways, on to my main point: I feel like since we aren't getting a new game when the new rules become official, then we're gonna see an overcentralization once more of the meta game, except with creatures that are MUCH harder to combat. Particularly the fact that there is no listed restriction for Primal Reversion as of yet, and how Primal doesn't trigger the Mega, I feel like we may be seeing more of those, because why the heck not. If we don't get a new game, I feel like the new legal Pokémon will overlap and overcentralize with what was last format's driving force, and mix it together into one giant cluster fk that will power creep mostly everything that was even remotely viable in VGC 15. *Drops the mic*

  3. Funny thing about this. The Literally Hitler meme is actually a logical fallacy that's been coined since 1951 under the same metaphorical flag. Weird what Debate, Philosophy, and AP Language classes teach you. History beating this meme for 60+ years. If you think I am joking then follow this link. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reductio_ad_Hitlerum I could definitely get behind that Fern phrase though.
  4. Now would a Rip van Winkle thing be too farfetched for this Huku? Like some sleep spell/icemancer freeze/deep meditatimg hibernation (going for a Warrior). Kinda want my guy to be "older" than the Castle's age, but not have too terribly aged physically during that time for some reason I'm sure can be readily invented. Kinda give maybe a "holy shiet I've been asleep for how long" kinda thing. It would play completely into what I got in mind, because said character probably couldn't live for 100 and change years. I only ask because I kinda want the guy to "know" about humans somewhat, and events like this have been done before in stories.

      I judge a game my the amount of emotions that it makes you feel.

      This game made me cry. That, is what I want to see in a game.

  6. Pardon the mess. The is a WIP for now. Huku shall be notified when this is done Name: Garruk "The Apex Predator" Race: Felid Humanoid Atrocity [beastman] (Predominantly possessing felid - or catlike - traits with a hint of other unknown species, along with his current "human" traits). Garruk cannot definitively tell anyone of his legitimate race. Garruk isn't even sure how he exactly came into being, except he has always known to possess human traits as well as other feral instincts mostly in the domain of cats. Although Garruk has discovered other traits within that are not of catlike or human origin. Will finish this bit by bit a little later.
  7. Apologies on my part there Strat. I think the majority of us have been busy with other things to really take notice lately, because I've noticed some of our collected activity in and out of the forums. I'll have something up tomorrow morning.
  8. Never forget what you are fighting for. Otherwise you'll find yourself without a purpose and wandering from the right path.

  13. Hey Hukuna-sensei I got a question regarding a character I'd like to make. I can't exactly describe what my end product would be as of right now, however I can best summarize it right now as a human/humanoid abomination of nature, like a twisted up human turned into a beast man through unholy magic or experimentation, or some other unforseen method. To basically sum the character up, said horror would be made into the intention of "Apex Predator", and live out the miserable life so far up until that point. Maybe make the character a puppet or minion from someone else. Could that possibly play out correctly in this world you've crafted? Also I got a couple abilities in mind, such as a couple different forms of rage or berserker states. One would be upon seeing their own blood, and perhaps tasting it to activate sad ability, and maybe the other would be a similar ability that would happen at "random" and lost all cool, like a volatile state, because of the magic, or experimentation, or whatever. If that would work, I will get to making a character.
  14. To all the Redemption League challengers. We appreciate the good scrap each one of you gave to your Leader. However the winding road has only begun. Stay vigilant.

      Tip. Fake Out on the TR setter will help. I won't say what though.

  17. Hey there Barry. Welcome to our club of Reborn. It's fine to come out of the shadows to socialize with your older peers here. As long as you respect us, we'll respect you in return. Don't worry about your English around here, because there are some people who also have trouble typing/speaking it so you are not alone. Enjoy the time here.
  18. Attention potential Redemption League challengers. If you want to challenge the League and haven't already registered a team, I'd suggest you make your way down to the Sign-Up thread to register your team so our team can make your Trainer Card in a quick and efficient manner.

  20. ATTENTION! Redemption challengers and potential applicants for the League. Important announcement on challenge queues.: http://www.pokemonreborn.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=17625&page=15#entry455611

  21. Attention to the Redemption League confirmed and potential challengers and glory chasers as well. Dash has kind of shunted this announcement onto whoever wanted to go type it up. Keep in mind, this isn't a hundred percent official, but it is what has been circulating around the Staff for right now. So without further ado; hello, my name is Darvan, and I am one of your Redemption League staff members here with an important annoucement regarding battling and appointments to be set up. Anyways, our current working system is a first-come and first-serve queue basis. Simply, declare your challenge, and one of the members of our Supervision team will place you within a queue in the order of which you applied. Either way, the Leader you are requesting to face, or one of the Management or Supervision team will either PM you or otherwise call you up for battle. Let's say Ame, Ikaru, and Dan all apply to battle Olivia in that order. Someone like myself would place you in a queue listed quite possibly on the public chat in an order like that, in an interface such as: [Olivia Challengers]: Ame, Ikaru, Dan Then Olivia will call on Ame, or vice-versa (still waiting for final word) then they battle. Then Ikaru is called upon, and finally down upon the line. Let's say Mael and Jeri wanna join in while the battles are going on while Olivia is battling. They will ask for a queue to challenge, and be placed in their repsective order behind Dan. Anyways, that's a basic way of understanding how our Leaders will be accompanied by you the challenger. Please wait for an official word from Dash, as only Dash truely can explain our system best, and I'm just merely the emissary sent to deliver the message. Anyways, happy hunting with those Badges, Redemption challengers.
