I'm just gonna leave this here:

Not to mention Solaris spamming EQ on Pyrous Mountain.

Some of these are Showdown names where you get more characters, but... Ditto: 10-4 Copy That Emboar: Ham Solo Weavile: Cold Revenge Ditto, again: Mewtwo Beta Cofagrigus: Terror 404 Chandelure: California Reaper (named after the world's hottest chili pepper) Emboar, again: Wilbur Scoville (continuing the chili pepper theme, Wilbur Scoville invented the Scoville Scale which is used to rate spiciness and, also, Wilbur is the name of the pig in Charlotte's Web) Mandibuzz and Honchkrow: Bonnie & Clyde Rotom-Wash: Win Cycle Skarmory: Led Zeppelin

In the Pokemon Adventures manga comics, gym leaders are more like what you described. And Pokemon's creator, Satoshi Tajiri, endorses the Pokemon Adventures series as the comics that most resemble the world he was trying to convey in his games. So, I guess it just boils down to certain limitations that come with fleshing out a story through an RPG.

An NPC explains the change. Do consider what kind of tactical application this may have

I don't have anything to post yet, but I just wanted to say it's awesome this thread is a thing now!

Oh my! This is awesome.

Yeah I know haha. I was just trying to be fair and say that it doesn't make sense for a bear-sized rock / Godzilla clone to be able to level a mountain despite the canon Pokedex entry I cited. Anyways, the way I see it Reborn is a better game than the canon games, so Ame's Pokemon physics > the canon ones. Except for anything Terra related - that's all TM 78 right there. Also, another good TTar explanation, if anyone's interested: TTar could've used a ton of Superpowers when it fought Amaria's team, so it's Attack was super depleted by the time it struck Amaria.

But you took my quote out of context. In literally the next line, I acknowledged that their bodies died off Full quote here:

One more question, to everyone involved: Upon completing this game, what do you hope your biggest accomplishment will be? What I mean by that is, does the finished game itself represent the biggest victory, or are you more motivated by personal development, or the fact you've built an entire online community around the game, etc? Also, bonus question for Ame: words words physics surf item economics words?

Fire Stone - Ninetails Water Stone - Starmie Thunderstone - Eelektross Leaf Stone - Exeggutor Moon Stone - Nidoking Sun Stone - Heliolisk Shiny Stone - Togekiss Dusk Stone - Chandelure Dawn Stone - Gallade

Ninetails with Drought, so my days off could always have sunshine in the forecast!

Okay, Bulldoze isn't awesome haha, but Acrobatics gives a strong flying move to a lot of non-flying Pokemon that usually can't learn one - that's what I meant by versatile. You can also still use it in tandem with flying gems, which are available on the cheap in Reborn. Then again I'm just a lowly player, not a resident item placement expert (cool title btw).

most of the late-game gym leaders seem to give good tms and I expect that trend to continue. Flamethrower is one of the best ones, "bullshit" is viable in doubles battles, and acrobatics is a powerful and versatile flying move.

I hate to be "that guy," but one of TTar's canon Pokedex entries (DPP series) does say "If it rampages, it knocks down mountains and buries rivers. Maps must be redrawn afterward." But it is your game, and besides I've never personally imagined Pokemon to be that strong. Realistically too, at 6'07" standing upright, TTar isn't any bigger than a grizzly bear, and people survive bear attacks.
