Update: Much like last year with Super Pokemon Mystery Dungeon, I will be inactive on working with my game, since the release of Pokemon Sun and Moon is currently around the corner. For how long that will be is... up for debate, since I'm sure that I will be burning some time on this game, as I have 5 days off from school XD

I guess it was just a case of seasonal depression kicking in or something. I had my reasonings for why I questioned the fact that people actually look forward to this game, despite me getting busier and busier each year. Also, I've recently commissioned a new wallpaper for my game. This will be available to everyone, in some time, however my readers will not be receiving the PNG version of the wallpaper. Readers will only be getting the lesser quality JPG version, not that you can really tell much of a difference, unless you squint. Anywho, this wallpaper is of the Elite Four and Helena.

As I mentioned in response to one user on the forums, I have now purchased a new Minecraft Server for Pixelmon and it's much larger and much more stable than the previous version. This version of the server is 6GB in size and can hold up to 64 players. It's also stationed in Los Angeles, which for those of you who know servers, is one of the best locations for a server to be stationed. So, all the previous issues have now been taken care of, and I will be launching the server again, in about a week or so. I apologize for the previous server being taken down, but sadly my Minecraft account got... deleted(?) or something, and I couldn't log into my account again. So, I had to buy a new one. Plus, I couldn't make the server payment in time, before my Refund Check from school came in. But, now I have time, money, and the ability to better manage the server. Again, I apologize for the previous server, and I look forward to launching this new Pixelmon Server soon.

What? Is this a reference to something, because I'm not getting it. Also, as an aside to this, I am genuinely curious why some of you people follow my game. What is it that you people see in my game that I don't? Because, I am immensely baffled as to why people even follow this.

Due to financial obligations the server was taken down, before I could pay it off. However, next semester I will be purchasing a new server that will host many more people than the last server, and will hopefully accommodate less latency issues that people reported to me before. Sorry for the inconvenience on the server issues, to everyone reading this. Hopefully next time we will get some more active users on the server, especially during the summer when I have more free time. But, rest assured, I will be purchasing a new server for the Pokemon Reborn Forums. I will have to get back to Dan and Amethyst about server moderators, again, at some point, since the previous server... kind of didn't go anywhere after the first 3 or so weeks. Thank you, and once again to everyone reading this, I do apologize sincerely for the old server being taken down. But, the next one will be back even stronger than before, because... this isn't even its final form. (shoot me)

To both of these, above, there is no beta and there won't be a beta. If I'm going to release a game, I want it to be fully playable. So, the only time anyone will be able to play the game, is when it is 100% finished. I appreciate your respect for my game, but, you will have to bide your patience, for at least another year or so, because this stuff takes time. I'm only 1 guy, and I have to pay for a lot of the stuff that's in my game. Which is up there in the 5 digit's range of money spent on this game. You win tickets on some of them, yes, but most of the time you just win prizes or money. Which, the only way to get certain TM's is by completing the mini-games with the highest possible score, or playing them till you go through all the possible prizes you can get. If you come back here later on in the game with Hiro and Allan, you can get some very unique items in one of the events.

So, who else here likes mini-games? How about a QTE based mini-game where you have to drink soda? Yeah, so this is another mini-game that I came up with for the Festival of the Flower, and it was inspired by Chrono Trigger!

So, for those of you who like mini-games, and whatnot, here is a neat little update! This is for the Flower Gale Village - Festival of the Flower. It's still a WIP, but there many more fun stuff for those who like to just mess around! Also, Vivian now has her Path to Power clothes, which in the story, Vivian states that she no longer is seeking revenge, as that has done nothing but cause trouble for her family. Instead, she sets out to be more like Mia, her sister, and protect those she loves; her family and friends. After Vivian saves her sister from (spoilers), her parents give her these clothes, to show that she has made the right choice in her journey. Also, new transformation: Synchronzation! This is Vivian's character exclusive transformation, and what it does is simply boost all of Greninja's stats, except health, and increases Evasion by 20%, while also giving a 10% chance to perfectly dodge an enemy attack. It also lets Greninja have a 10% chance of landing a perfect hit as well. It also alters Storm Shuriken, one of Greninja's Verdant Artes, into Renegade Strike.

Yeah, we practiced quite a bit for this performance. But, thankfully it was just for class and not actually performed for a live show; otherwise we'd be screwed.

So, a little update and whatnot. Anyways, new stuff has been added into the game, both graphically and mini-game wise. I created a new area in the game for the Festival of the Flower, which is a story related part of the game, where in Flower Gale Village a celebration is being held. At this celebration, the player can run around and have fun at all the different kinds of mini-games being held, such as a punching bag mini-game that raises the Pokemon's effort values, and some other mini-games inspired by Chrono Trigger and Tales of Symphonia!

Indeed, also, here are the team set-ups for the Elite Four. Of course, throughout the main course of the story, the only people you ACTUALLY fight from the Elite Four, in a serious battle, is Vincent and Dreyah, while the others are only post-game fights including Helena. So, let's get started: Tara Bloom: Lower S-Class Trainer Banette (Mega) Aegislash Dusknoir Jellicent Mismagius Darkrai ----------------------------------------------- Kenneth Jensen: S-Class Trainer Latios (Mega) Goodra Tyrantrum Blissey (Since he's a doctor he has this as his main partner) Hydreigon Haxorus -------------------------------- Vincent Burklight: S-Class Trainer Talonflame Volcarona Heatran Chandelure Delphox Houndoom ------------------------------------------------ Dreyah Haven: S-Class Trainer (Doesn't have a Mega because she has a unique Transformation that is specific to her only) Frosslass Ninetales (Alolan): The only Alolan Pokemon in the game Articuno Walrein Weavile Cloyster

The other member is Kenneth Jensen, the Dragon Master:

Character Update, yet again for the final member of the Elite Four This is Vincent Burklight, the master of Fire Type Pokemon. Instead of me giving you a large synopsis and background on the character, I'm just gonna show him here, and let you guys enjoy the art ;D

No, she doesn't play xcom, since she said that in the Tales livestream that her and I did last year. I meant that in my personal playthrough, Amethyst makes a badass unit.

Indeed, the series is extremely brutal. I've had to restart my game so many times, because RNGesus decided to give me the finger XD However, Amethyst makes a badass unit, real talk.

Character Update: So, I haven't worked on my game in about a week or so, mostly because I just got a new graphics card (AMD 390X) and have been playing XCOM 2, which is basically Fire Emblem, but with Aliens and this happened while I was playing: That is all... Anyways, new character today, and that is another member of the Elite Four, and her name is Dreyah Haven. She is a master of Ice Type Pokemon and was an Ice Princess from a distant land who traveled to the Lumia Region after her land was overthrown. Since then she dedicated her life to becoming powerful enough to take back her land, and assume the position on the throne, which she was destined to rule. At her age of 28, Dreyah has been in the Elite Four, for about 9 years, and takes great pride in her position. Once Ariana (the previous Champion) passed away, and Helena took the throne, Dreyah began to think of Helena still as a student of Ariana, rather than a full-fledged Champion. Mostly because of how Helena lacks the same kind of discipline and moxie that Ariana had. Even still, she follows Helena's orders, begrudgingly mind you, and helps out the main characters during the latter half of the game. Her personality can be seen as somewhat cruel and cold-hearted, going so far as to say to Vice and his friends that she could care less what happens to them, with the only up-side to this being that her own strength will go up as well. Towards the other members she is indifferent, except towards Tara, since she is the youngest and most naive out of all members. Because of that she finds her naivete to be somewhat of a motive to look out for her. However, due to Dreyah being an ice princess from another land, she tends to have way more pride for her position than necessary, even going so far as to say that Helena is still less than her, even though Helena beat her for the position of Champion. In some regards, you can say the two of them have a rival-like relationship, only working together when the stakes are high, and the situation demands for it. Regardless though, since Helena is above her, she follows orders, even if it makes her stomach turn. In terms of overall power, she could be considered the strongest out of the Elite Four, even stronger than the Fire Type master: Vincent Burklight, which opposes her own typing.

Verdant Transformation is exclusive only to Vice, so the Elite Four will be using Mega Evolution. Also, appearance and personality changes is only for Verdant Transformation, so if they Mega Evolve their Pokemon, their clothes and personality remain the same.

Character Update and shiz. So, I know the scary day was yesterday, but who cares, here is one of the Elite Four members, Tara Bloom. Tara is a 10 year-old member of the Elite Four with a strong affinity for ghost type Pokemon. So much so that she is capable of turning into a shadow, herself by sinking into the ground. She carries around a Banette, which is actually alive, due to her finding it in a trash bin, four years before becoming a member of the Elite Four. At the time she felt remorseful towards the Banette, and decided to befriend it. Due to her level of talent with Ghost Type Pokemon, and being able to integrate their shadow manipulating abilities into her own, she became a member of the Elite Four, only half a year into her career as a Trainer; managing to become a member at the age of 9. As she began her own journey, she met with Helena Brennan and battled her, late at night, in the streets of Renma. Shocked at her capabilities of keeping up with the Champion, and even being able to knock out three of her Pokemon, Helena decided that she should crown her as one of the Elite Four. Even though she appears to be dark in appearance, she is actually quite friendly. She believes ghost Pokemon to be mistreated, and often times mis-interpreted for their actions, and because of that people discard and even forget them. Tara first meets the main cast within Infinity Mine, upon orders of Helena's investigation of the Dark Fangs' activity around Eclipse Mountain and various other locations. More than this, however, I cannot say

Happy 1 Year anniversary here on the Reborn Forums! So, it's been a whole year since I made the original post for my game, here on the Reborn Forums, and my god has the game changed within this time span! I am thankful for the year of support that I have received from everyone here, you all are awesome, and I am glad to have met you! I was planning on doing something super cool for today, buuuut, sadly I have school and a 10-page paper that is due by the end of the day, soooooo.... yeah. However, I do plan on doing something cool for my 1 year anniversary here on the forums, sometime this month, when I find time to do so. Again, thank you all for the support, and hopefully within the next year my game will hopefully be finished and out to the public!

Oh yeah, that is Sara Keeney, an unlockable, secret character ;D

Update: Pokemon Showdown University Tournament results. So, I posted as a status that I entered a Pokemon Showdown Tournament at my University. I placed 3rd, which is not bad, all things considered. I haven't worked on my game the past 2 days, because school and whatnot. This event was sponsored, by people whom I never heard of, but it was fun all the same! But, here are some pictures of the tournament that took place. Guess which dork is me XD
