> Bidoof: Opal Ward (Day), Peridot Garden From the PBS files it doesn't seem Bidoof appears in Peridot.

This is the first time ever I got this stuck in a pokemon game. I'm playing Reborn Hardcore, defeated both Julia and Florinia only to get completely stuck on Taka in Jasper ward. Hardcore Taka has: - Lileep - no problem - Gligar(!!) - the biggest threat, it has good stats and very good typing, can take down any of my pokemon in two rounds with Acrobatics and all types resistent to flying are weak against his Buldoze plus water and ice mons are extremely rare at this point in the game - Chatot - Sudowoodo can win sometimes, depends on Chatter confusion - Klefki - steel/fairy typing make it resistent or immune to many types, Roselia can win with field-boosted Giga Drain - PULSE-Tangrowth - I never even saw the PULSE as I can't get past the previous trio Gligar is the worst. Swalot can use Toxic but Gligar still has more than enough time to decimate my team before the poison can finish the job. Also this is No-Items challenge so I can't heal. The level cap is set to 35 because of Corey not giving a badge so I could in theory overlevel my team and be done with it but that's just not my style. And I don't want to trade online either. I'm confident I can defeat the deadly trio with some more training, but I doubt I'll be able to take on the PULSE after that. Mons I've trained so far: Swalot, Sudowoodo, Fearow, Pikachu (with Volt Tackle), Tranquill, Linoone, Kricketune and Spinda. I can catch and train something else - currently I'm trying to train a Pelipper to hopefully help against Gligar. My eggs were Drowzee and Seel Ciel.

Samson is one of the easier leaders in my opinion. Some good psychic types like Espeon or Gardevoir are even able to slaughter his entire team. The key is to not use any mons weak against fighting type moves (such as Sharpedo) because they're sitting Duckletts against his field+stab-boosted moves.

E17 gym will be Titania. I think this was even confirmed by Ame somewhere. Then again it's a bit of a shame. Considering Hardy has the weakest of the remaining types he shouldn't be this high among the gym leaders. I'm sure Ame can put together a decent team for him but it will be next to impossible for Reborn Hardcore.

E16 is not under spoiler lock anymore. But still putting the main event of E16 right into the title where any of the new players can accidently read it? Thumbs down.

Beware though that your Abomasnow still won't be able to megaevolve because the player can't get the Mega Ring yet. It will probably be available in E17.

Well I only have 13 folders there. Fonts and Gameovers can be safely removed. The game still works fine.

Oh that's absolutely fine! I don't expect you to change anything right now based on my feedback since Gen 7 will be out soon (well except AI bugs perhaps). And of course you can't fix everything, there will always be some waeknesses. You might the feedback later when redesigning the teams with Gen 7 in mind. I'm making videos of the Gym battles if you want to see the issues for yourself. Julia Battle-style: Set Challenge: No-Items Team: Singles Result: Defeated Julia on first try. Issues: I had my Linoone use Mud Sport right away to destroy her field. Maybe some of her pokemon could have Electric Terrain to renew it? After my Roselia defeated one of her pokes, Julia sent out her Chinchou which was of course powerless against Roselia. (She had Chinchou, Heliolisk and Electrode left.) Heliolisk was a disappointment. It kept using Parabolic Charge against Roselia for minimal damage while Roselia overhealed herself easily with Mega Drain. I don't know if it has something better - either it doesn't or the AI messed up. I'd recommend a Hidden Power (Ice) maybe? I think her team could be stronger by one or two levels, closer to the cap. Most of her mons are lvl17 and I of course had everyone at level 20. With the level limiter you can easily expect the player to reach the cap (and maybe have some NPC explicitly tell the player that it's expected). Florinia Battle-style: Set Challenge: No-Items Team: Singles Result: She defeated me several times, forcing me to train a Fearow to deal with her Breloom. Notes: The Breloom is a real threat considering the player has very limited access to pokemon who can outspeed it at this point. I really liked it. I noticed that even with the level limiter Rare Candy can be used to bypass it. Not sure if it's intended but I used this to evolve my Gulpin to Swalot right before Florinia (evolves at 26, Florinia's limit is 25) and used a Common Candy to fix the level back to 25. Issues: I think she should have switched out her Breloom against my Fearow. I had Swalot use Toxic on her Cradily to poison it. Cradily than used Giga Drain (not very effective) against my Swalot several times and rarely switched to Rock Slide (normally effective). This is clearly an AI bug - using ineffective move and trying to prolong the battle while badly poisoned. Also and Johnathan said that this is still kiddies league. Where do I sign up for the adult league? :-P

Those PBS files Commander said he will release will not contain Gen 7. You'll have to wait for Ame to release Reborn E17.

I've finally started my first Hardcore playthrough. Would you like me to give you some feedback on the Gym battles as I play through them? (I play with Battle Style set and No-Items challenge enabled.)

I don't remember my first playthrough in Reborn much. But just now I managed to beat Hardcore Julia's Regular team with No-Items challenge enabled on my first try. I wonder if I can beat more leaders like this.

Based on some feedback other people gave on Patreon Ame might end up redoing most if not all the Meteor Grunts. With more focus on their pokemon variety, which grunts work for which Meteor Admin, to have each grunt keep his teams across multiple encounters, keeping their pairings for double battles and so on. I can't be sure if this will relly happen but if it does it might mean some more work for you (if you choose to preserve these concepts). I don't quite follow what you mean here. You previously said you'll postpone the CoM Gauntlet until E18 I think? I have not finished Hardcore yet so I don't quite know what the Gauntlet thing even is and how it differs from regular CoM. Don't understand how this would help you and whether it's something other people can help you with. You don't have to explain though. I'll probably catch up once I play through the CoM and the Gauntlet.

Is this correct? I mean between Luna and Samson there is only the Agate Circus and Route 2. Maybe you meant some other leader than Samson? Also what's the Altered Path if you don't mind me asking? How much work does the Gen 7 mean for you when E17 is out with all the new pokes and alo-forms + Z-moves to be distributed between NPCs? I just hope you won't burn out. Thanks for your hard work!

I don't get to play them regularly but sometimes I organise a meeting with friends where we play a few good board games. We mostly enjoy very complex games with minimum (or none) random things like cards/dices. From the top of my head Imperial 2030 and Terra Mystica are good examples. Can recommend more if needed.

It should be available in the wild on Azurine. It's just very late in the game. You need to beat Adrienn, renovate the island, complete a side-quest on the island and then you can (very very rarely) encounter a wild Bulbasaur.

Damn this sounds awesome. I'm really sorry I can't give you my feedback because uh I just don't have time to play this at the moment. Once I do I'm sure I'll spend over 100 hours on it which is more than I can afford at the moment. I had to prioritize some stuff in my life because I couldn't get some things done for over a year. I really have to sort out those priorities first. This is just to let you know that I'm still reading this thread and really appriciate all you're doing. Reborn is my favorite game and this will be like playing for the first time again. Thank you!

Well it is a bit early, but you only have one. And it's hidden in a place where you don't have an Itemfinder yet so most people just miss it anyway. Lucky you!

Just an item. I don't remember any event requiring a Hyper Potion, only one that needs an Ultra Potion.

Afraid you found a bug. I just tried it with my own Mamoswine to confirm.

Did they even announce an english version of F/GO game? I thought it will never happen... They released a first part of F/GO anime though. But to be honest I think it's a bit overrated.

Not 100% sure but it's probably the yellow ball in this room.

According to the item guide it can be held by wild Paras and Parasect.

Couldn't find any... Looks like the only point of renovating the slums is the key you'll get as reward.

Mybe your song is in a format which the game cannot read?
