Tartar

We've known that a season 2 was coming before the 1. season ended, it was simply too popular to not get one. Though this is really exciting news. For as much as I adore the manga, the anime is simply better. Her's to having a great second season!

The team isn't offensive enough. Perhaps you could remove a few of the defensive elements such as Rampardos and Lopunny in favor of Pokemon such as Hoopa and Mega Heracross?

Don't bother trying to find holes in utilitarianism, its a flawed way of deducing right from wrong, but in the end its the best one we have so far since everything else is based on assumptions and sophistry. And imagine this: We have Superman and we have Deadpool. Superman decides to kill Doomsday since he was about to destroy the Earth. Before Doomsday achieved this Superman killed him to save the Earth. He is therefore a hero since he did something Heroic (saved the Earth and its inhabitants from destruction). Meanwhile what if Deadpool was around while Doomsday was destroying the Earth, and Deadpool felt like doing something amoral and kill someone, and thus killed Doomsday. Both actions in the end kill Doomsday and save the Earth, but the reasons behind Deadpool's actions prohibit him from being a Hero, since his actions weren't heroic. Intention is everything when discerning a Hero, Anti-Hero or an Anti-Villain.

The thing is that the majority of the gym leaders in Reborn League (the one in real life) were female. So the game is constrained to be loosely based on the events of real life.

Alternatively you can also catch a Murkrow with prankster and have it use priority Perish Song. It's one of the easiest ways to cheese the major fights in the game. F.E.A.R. Rattata is also a thing.

What about I'm about to convey is grossly oversimplified, so bear with me. Its all about intentions. A hero is something who has heroic goals and acts heroically and doesn't have to compromise on his morals and ideals to reach his goals. Meanwhile an anti-hero still has heroic goals but has an amoral mindset and the means his morals and the means through which he achieves said goals and villainous. Titania is firmly in the second category. She does what is in reality good actions, by helping save Reborn city, but doing so through the exact same methods the villains are using: comitting murder. All the while she does this in a fit of rage and not because she wants to do "heroic deeds". Oh, the greater good is utilitarianism. Nothing inherently hypocritical here. The main problem is that good is subjective so utilitarianism is outside of specific instances still as subjective thing.

I'm not calling Titania evil because she killed a bunch of grunts. I'm calling her actions evil because she took our her frustrations which stem from her own weakness and inability to face Amaria out on a bunch of grunts whom she murdered to vent her frustrations. If she killed them because she wanted to do it for the greater good, then I could see her as an anti-hero. But the moment she starts killing for the sake of killing, that's when her actions are no longer justified and she's just being amoral and "evil".

YANDEREDEV YANDEREDEV!

I heavily dislike this game not being more about Anna. I'd really like if she got a more prominent role in the future, due to how wonderful her personality is...

Spending an hour on it is VERY tedious.

Sigh, the thing is, I've become kinda jaded in terms of Paradox games having played them for ~2000, they have to have really darn good combat and multiplayer options to be worthwhile anymore, single-player is of no interest to me. And in terms of this the combat of HoI4 has been so grossly oversimplified, so much that all the diversity of HoI3 has been stripped bare and left people not much to work with. Few army compositions are viable anymore, and ship combat pretty much relies solely on numbers now. Which kind of irks me the wrong way. To reiterate: ITS A GREAT GAME. But my standards are simply too high to appriciate the innovations the game has made to accommodate newcomers.

My main gripe with Re:CoM was that the main tactic was simply to overide your opponents cards, so you never actually got to see those interesting patterns and attacks that they had. Too often every single boss fight ended up being "spam whatever series of attacks that can chain lock your opponent". I barely remember the last boss due to this. Overall the game was simply too easy, even on proud. Though the Riku parts of the game were thoroughly enjoyable due to not being able to craft your own overpowered deck.

I actually liked this part since the puzzles, despite being a bit simplistic were quite fun to solve. My main gripe with the puzzle were the horrendous controls. I had to get a real chessboard to solve it, since solving it by moving pieces in game was way too difficult.

I don't really see Taka as a villain, just like I don't see Eclipse as a one. To me, Saphira and Titania are villains simple due to how many people they've murdered. Taka on the other hand has repeatedly helped the main character and has been a foil to Team Meteor's plans. Many of the people in Reborn aren't really villains, even the conventional ones like Sigmund, Solaris and Elias aren't villains since they're acting on what they perceive to be noble ideals.

Reborn attracts quite interesting people it seems. The piece was well written, and I do feel like I know you a bit better now. And while reading the story I kind of realized that I couldn't relate with anything in it, which kind of made me feel weird. I've cruised through life with only minor bumps, walking a path which was paved by others people whom I chose to imitate. I have so far just been a cog in a huge machinery following the path of so many millions of other people in the world. Doing whatever society expected of me, nothing more, nothing less. Always making sure not to stand out too much, because the society I live in frowns upon showcasing individual success and achievement, not that this bothers me, its merely a fact of life for me. This arbitrariness through which our paths in life are decided kind of irks me, though at the same time its an inescapable fact. Random variables are what decided that everyone on this forum had have led different lives. Life is arbitrary, its random and still due to how my life has been so far I overwhelmingly see the world we live in as a good one. A result of this is that I have absolutely no ability to empathize with people who've had to struggle in life, and have a hard time believing the utter depressive pessimism showcased in your post. I know this is unfair, since I'm merely projecting my own worldview onto you, but I really do believe that we all have experiences and memories that we cherish. Happiness is subjective, but in the end something that everyone experiences. Your piece cruised was a tour through many of the bad events that happened throughout your lifetime, barely skimming over some of your more pleasant experiences. Perhaps you'll write another piece in a few years showcasing the good events in your life. Until then, happy birthday.

I don't know, as an avid player of Paradox's past games I have so far been unimpressed with Hearts of Iron 4. They simply dumbed down too many aspects of the game, and made the warfare worse overall. Perhaps future expansions can remedy it, but for now I'll stick to Hearts of Iron 3 which at this point has much better mods available and is the more polished game.

Here's another recommendation: 80 Days is the pinnacle of what a chose your digital own adventure book can achieve. Every time I play it I get into weird and wacky scenarios... Though most often than not I somehow get stuck in Japan without money in a drugden or on Antarctica slowly starving to death. All in all, good times...

I don't know Solaris seems a bit plain to me, and never stood out much besides that one Garchomp boss fight. I much prefer Sigmund as a villain. He's got everything. - Evil gloating: Check. - Monologues explaining his motives: Check. - Has an aura that makes me want to punch his teeth out: Check!

Ampharos was a dependable asset throughout my journies throughout the Reborn Region, and has been with me since I got one. Surprisingly its tanky and has great coverage and utility with Discharge/Power Gem/Thunder Wave and I imagine that it'll do wonders in the future due to being able to learn Dragon Pulse, and many Dragon types being in the upcoming episodes.

I'm up for next week. Though I'll be away between the 5-7 I should have time to make a team and battle next weekend.

Is happy that Viridescent decided to leave Reborn.

Goodbye, and never return! We will NOT miss you, and will definitely not cry bitter tears over someone like YOU leaving. Because really, who cares about philosophy, eloquent speaking, and godlike puns? No one, that's who. Hopefully you will do better without us, because you have made no contribution to this community, or had any impact on a single person on here whatsoever! So I bid thee a farewell oh Moose on the aurora backdrop. Take your knowledge and your nonsense Magnezone heresy elsewhere! You are no longer welcome here! Goodbye... No really... Goodbye... You are no longer welcome here... *Sniff* [Cue sad music]

I'd actually like some confirmation of this instead of wild mass guessing, your interpretation is a bit too black and white.

This is a bit confusing to me. In the interview with Sigmund by Gardevoir (which I presume was on Skype or something?) he admits to researching ECT, and this was released on the 10th September 2013. Then suddenly 25. October 2013 Sapphira said that Sigmund was caught and was in the middle of being prosecuted, and the on November 10 2013 Amethyst confirms the events and announces the new electric Gym Leader. This all seems to happen so quickly. And the in-game events with Heather and the orphanage children being electrocuted were back in Episode 5 which was released around a year previously in November 2012. Did Ame just happen to guess that Sigmund was torturing the children at that point, or was at already known by then? Can somebody explain how Ame incorporated the events into the game at this point in time? And the whole Gardevoir interviewing people seems strange to me, how did those happen?

Considering how young Dahlia (Ash's mother) is in the Pokémon series, and how early people let go of their children to go on journies in the Pokemon World it wouldn't surprise me that much younger people are considered adults.
