Assuming you don't mind the constant grinding.
I've never actually played Uranium. That could be interesting. I thought I heard once it was complete it had to be taken down or something. Is it still available?

I could really use some help figuring out which game to Nuzlocke next. I made it to the E4 in my Platinum run before failing there. That was 6 months ago. I'm ready to attempt a new run! Help me decide if you can folks!
I just want to see my Nuzlocke team up in those Hall of Fame lights for once!

Pretty obsessed with this one at the moment! Beyond excited for the game and love this song in the trailer.
Spoiler -
The biggest tip I can give is:
- Talk to everyone, check everything. There are usefully items littered everywhere. And talking to everyone helps unlock side-quests that will net you Pokémon and items.
I'm actually going to go against what some folks are saying here and say: stay away from Wondertrade, at least in the early game. Half the fun of Reborn is the challenge, and most of that challenge comes from the fact that you have a very small pool of Pokémon available to you early on. Utilizing these less-than-helpful-seeming Pokémon to their fullest is some of the most fun I had early on. If you Wondertrade these early Pokémon off in Wondertrade, you stand to get someone's breedject of a much stronger Pokémon that could potentially make the early game too easy!
Hope this helps a bit!

I really enjoyed the new Viridian Forest video that showcased battles. My main worry at this point for the game was that battles would be like they are in Pokémon Go. That worry is gone now! I don't mind the Go-like catching mechanic so much. It's just a gimmick, but it'll be fun. I am curious about a couple things though:
1. How will EXP work? Hopefully it's not with "candies" like Go. If EXP is awarded through battles and evolution occurs normally, that would be fantastic!
2. How are these kids walking around Viridian Forest with Squirtles and Charmaders when they already have their starter Pikachu or Eevee?

Glad you've enjoyed it too @Just2Reborn! I'm adoring it so far. I wasn't aware there was still more to come. Admittedly I haven't researched the game much. I thought it looked interesting upon release, then watched CohhCarnage's playthough of it and fell in love. Just so glad it finally came to the Switch. I love how tight it handles and the thought of being able to play it on both the TV or on-the-go really appeals to me!
It almost sounds like what CD Projekt Red did with the Witcher 3, where they made a quality game with tons of content already, only to add more for free!

I heard the call and was trying to get here, but ran out of gas!
Q-Jei I'm sorry! Q-Jei come back!

So I've been waiting with bated breath for Hollow Knight to ever release on the Switch. I'm not much of a PC gamer, so I was trying to bide my time. Then lo and behold! Yesterday during Nintendo's E3 Direct, amongst all the Smash and Pokémon hype, they announced that Hollow Knight was releasing THAT DAY! So you can bet your sweet buns that I downloaded that sucker as soon as I got off work on the old Switch!
Hoo boy! I'm already hooked! Hollow Knight, I'm somewhat ashamed to say, is my first real step into the Metroidvania genre. (I didn't even know that "Metroidvania" was a term until looking up info for Hollow Knight early on.) That's a little embarrassing to say seeing as I've played just about every known genre of games there is at this point...I think...Hell I even played Hatoful Boyfriend, but that's beside the point!
Hollow Knight might just be the best $15.00 I've spent in a long time! Controls are super tight and fluid! Combat is great. Art style and music are wonderful! Story is dark and mysterious, but also sort of cute and quirky...think Binding of Isaac. As much as I love me some Souls-likes, I hate to constantly compare everything to Dark Souls. Mostly because nowadays saying something is "like Dark Souls" is just basically saying "It's difficult". But Hollow Knight does sort of have a Soulsy feel to it with it's dark world, vague story, and "souls" mechanic.
I've played the game for only about 3 hours so far, but I'm already hooked!
What about you guys and gals? Have any of you tried out Hollow Knight on the Switch or PC yet? What did you think of it?

Welcome! There are some good times to be had around here and lots of helpful folks! Hope you enjoy yourself and your time with Reborn!

Not quite!
It's up to you Celeby!

@CodeCass Sorry for using your post to discuss another issue.
No worries. Discuss away!

@BrazenCrown254 I've only been using Araquanid as my main water type for a little while, but he's been quite solid at this point.
-
1 minute ago, Trufa said:
Also, I have seen a lot of people using Araquanid lately, why? It has good defense stats but it's moves are usually offensive, I don't understand
Probably because the "Water Bubble" ability is godlike. Decreases fire damage, makes it immune to burn, and boosts water moves. Plus Leech Life got a boost to 80 power. So that, Liquidation, and Lunge all have pretty good offensive power when taking the Water Bubble boost and STAB into consideration.
-
So I'm trying to prep for Luna and beyond. I could really use any tips on what could make my team any more solid, or what Pokémon I should have on rotation at this point to help in the future? Here's what I'm currently working with:
Arcanine "D.D." Lvl 60
Ability: Intimidate
- Flamethrower
- Crunch
- ExtreamSpeed
- Close Combat
Breloom "Penny" Lvl 60 @ Fist Plate
Ability: Technician
- Bullet Seed
- Spore
- Mach Punch
- Wake Up Slap
Araquanid "Rom" Lvl 60
Ability: Water Bubble
- Lunge
- Liquidation
- Leech Life
- Crunch
Magneton "O-Zone" Lvl 60
Ability: Magnet Pull (Changing to Sturdy as soon as I can)
- Discharge
- Flash Cannon
- Flash
- Thunder Wave
Krookodile "Mick" Lvl 59
Ability: Intimidate
- Earthquake
- Foul Play
- Rock Smash
- Crunch
Gardevoir "Alustrial" Lvl 60 @ Twisted Spoon
Ability: Trace
- Moonblast
- Psychic
- Calm Mind
- Magical Leaf
I'm sure some things could be better. I wasn't sure what some good hold-items might be for the current iteration of the team.
Any and all opinions or help would be much appreciated folks!
Thanks so very much!

I feel like Sony's conference has easily been the best for me so far. Overall the games I'm most excited for throughout are:
- Kingdom Hearts 3
- Devil May Cry V
- Nioh 2
- Dragon Quest XI
- Cyberpunk 2077
- Ghost of Tsushima
I know my wife (who's obsessed with Fallout) was stoked for Fallout 76. She actually was finally able to secure herself a pre-order for the Power Armor edition last night!
Fingers crossed Nintendo hits us hard today!

personally, I usually challenge myself to not let any pokemon die in my nuzlocke whatsoever. thats why I prefer somewhat easier games, mainly such as the core series. my favorites are games in which the variety of pokemon you can catch is rather good (such as platinum, bw2 or usum), or games that despite being core series still challenge the player to give it their all (platinum, bw2, usum again).
ive also nuzlocked randomizers, hacks or fangames, but I find they noticeably less likeable- to my knowledge ive only finished about two or three nuzlockes of games that werent just regular core series. especially randomizers get old really quickly.
I definitely agree. I really enjoyed the challenge of my Platinum playthrough. I've never tried nuzlocking a fan game personally, and I dislike randomizers entirely. There are certain hacks like Volt White that I really enjoyed however, simply because it added some more variety to the catchable Pokémon.

As many times as I've tried, I've yet to complete a Nuzlocke. I'm always looking to try again though! Thinking about trying Omega Ruby next!
I was curious what you guys' and gals' favorite Pokémon game to Nuzlocke is?
Do you all typically play standard versions of the games on they're consoles? Do you like to Nuzlocke hacks like Volt White?
Curious what you guys enjoy!

Did anyone else check out episode 2 on Saturday night?
The series seems to be going in an interesting direction. I just hope it doesn't try to get too deep. We don't need a whole series of...whatever Episode 4 of the original season was supposed to be....

I didn't notice any sort of recent Kingdom Hearts thread, so I thought I'd start one given all the new KH3 hype!
What were you all's feelings on the newest trailer? I for one am thrilled Larxene is back. I love villains that are so evil and easy to hate! I will admit, I let out an "Aqua, nooooo!" at the end, however!
While I'm not a huge fan of Frozen, I don't really mind it being in the game. I honestly am surprised we hadn't seen it sooner than this. I'm just stoked for all of those fancy ice powers Sora was showing off!
What about you all? Stoked for KH3? I've only been waiting on it since KH2's ending all those years ago! I've played through this entire franchise too many times now getting myself ready for this game! Haha.
I'm ready for Ventus to wake the hell up, some sort of acknowledgement of Xion (I guy can hope), more of my boy Lea, and some just good old KH gameplay!
Oh...and Final Fantasy characters...where TF are my Final Fantasy characters at Nomura!?!
Bring it on Square! 1/29/2019 can't come quick enough!

It took ma a while to finally try Reborn. I've always been skeptical of fan games generally. It took me watching Shofu play the game some years ago to finally get me interested. So glad I took the plunge and tried Reborn as my first ever fan game back in 2016.
There is just so much to love about Reborn. The music, the environments, the difficulty, the story, and the characters! One thing that hooked me early on was the scarcity of Pokémon and having to utilize Pokémon I wouldn't normally use in order to progress. I love this aspect of the game and is one of the reasons I enjoy Nuzlockes. I also really enjoy the inclusion of all the Event Pokémon. As I've stated in a previous thread, I love Event Pokémon because it helps me feel like that Pokémon might have a bit of a backstory or personality.
The story and characters are simply fantastic. It's a long game with so much to love and secrets to find. It's funny also how certain characters have clicked with me. I've never usually enjoyed the type of character archetype that Cain is (take that however you will I suppose). But through this game, I have found that Cain is easily my favorite character. Not only that, he's now made it so that I find myself enjoying his character archetype in other genres now. The villains and rivals are well-written and are both easy and fun to hate.
Also, I've always found the game visually appealing. The overworld and dungeons are so unique and engaging. I love finding the secret areas!
Finally, I have fallen in love with this community. All of you are such friendly, courteous, and helpful folks and I am proud to be among you all. From the content you all create, to the conversations about other games and Reborn alike, it's always entertaining to come to the forums and read around!
All in all, I can say that I love Reborn. I can't wait to see it through until it's conclusion! This game is something special!

I loved the Disgaea games. Started with the original and have worked my way up. I've only ever missed out on 3. Story-wise, I'd say 4 and 5 have been my favorites, but Laharl is easily my favorite character throughout the series. Love that evil little bastard!
-
I truly dislike the Pikachu clones: Plusle, Minun, Emolga, Pachirisu, Dedenne, and Togedemaru...
Why? Because none of them evolve or have prior evos. I know it's a silly thing to get hung up on, but I can't help it. Evolution is one of my favorite aspects of Pokémon. Even single stage evos like Minnccino I enjoy just because the can transform into something! With the Pikachu clones I just see wasted evo potential! I can only imagine how neat an Emolga or Togedemaru evolution would be! Always have my fingers crossed!

I am thou...thou art......wait a minute. Jumped the gun...
Regardless! I too call forth Q-Jei!
Next Game to Nuzlocke?

Thanks. I'm looking at the Reddit now. I very well may give it a download and see what the fuss is about!
