I remember reading that too. It makes me think that we won't face the Elite Four in a traditional battle - as in, everyone will line up in their respective rooms and we'll fight each of them in succession (it would be kind of weird, considering everything what's going on, and that one of them is openly in league with Team Meteor). I think that, after beating Saphira, the player will be tasked with tracking down each of the E4 members to get each of the keys before Lin and Team Meteor can, and we'll have to look around the whole region to find each of them. Maybe Heather will be visiting her father's gravestone on the graveyard, where it's a Mountain Field, and maybe El will capture Anna and take into his sanctum, and after we rescue her, she'll tells us we have to fight her to prove that we can protect the key, giving an in-game reason for both her an El to use the Holy Field. After we beat all of them and take the keys, we'll either take the fight to Lin, or she'll come to us to retrieve them. After all of it is over, someone'll tell the player "Well, you beat all of the Elite Four and defeated the person that defeated the previous champion... So I guess technically you're the champion now. Hooray!"

I've been thinking a lot about what the Elite Four and Champion/Final Boss battles will be like, and tried to make some deductions based on some field effects: Heather Field Effect: Mountain. It's the only field effect that boosts all flying type attacks, and as far as I recall, we haven't had any important fights on that field, other than a fight with Cain. Team: other than her ace (Mega Salamence), I would guess a Drifblim with Ominous Wind and Thunder, Talonflame (Gale Wings is always active during Strong Wings), Archeops or Minior (Rock type moves are also boosted by the field), and some other two. Probably will lead with a Pokemon using Tailwind to activate Strong Winds. Bennett & Laura Now, I think we'll face these two on a 6x12 battle, because Laura's resignation letter was falsified, and the two of them seem to be on good terms with each other, so they'll probably not want to step over the other and instead agree to face the player on a double battle until all is figured out. (I predict one of them will replace El after the story is over, since he's in cahoots with Team Meteor) Field Effect: Flower Garden. We haven't seen it in-game before, and it boosts both Bug and Grass Pokemon (and Fire, strangely enough, although that might help Bennett's Volcarona). Also, a lot of the effects of this field seem to favor double battles. Team: Most of Bennett's Pokemon will probably be Pokemon with Swarm (like his ace, Volcarona). Laura's team is trickier (other than Lilligant), because a lot of the stages in Flower Garden boost a lot of common moves and abilities of Grass Pokemon, so she could have literally anything. I think she'll use Grass pokemon with flower motifs. Anna Field Effect: either Starlight Arena or Holy Field. Starlight Arena because it can't be found anywhere in the game yet (other than maybe that dimension the MC was thrown in after Gossip Gardevoir created that black hole), and it boosts psychic type attacks, while also fitting Anna's star motif. On the other hand, Holy Field nerfs Dark and Ghost, while slightly boosting Psychic attacks, and boosting Cosmic Power and Miracle Eye. It could be either one. Team: her ace is totally gonna be a Jirachi named Nostra. If we face her in Starlight Arena, she's probably gonna have a Starmie with Iluminate. Other than that, I'm really not sure, because I don't know what her field will be. El Field Effect: Holy Field. It's the field of his sanctum, and it boosts normal types, while also making Ghost and Dark types weak to Normal attacks. Team: I would guess a Snorlax with Snorlium Z, since it apparently was one of his main pokemon during the online league (I might be wrong though). Regigigas would also really fit him thematically. Drampa would get a massive boost because of Nature Power turning into Judgement. Hard to narrow down what else, though. Lin Field Effect: I predict that we'll fight her in the New World Field. For one, the field's name and its description just scream "Final Boss" to me, and the field effects seem to help her Hydreigon to sweep (grounded Pokemon speed are halved; dark-type attacks increase in base power by 1.5x; and some moves Hydreigon can learn like Flash Cannon, Draco Meteor and Earth Power get a boost in power). Team: The only Pokemon of hers that we know is that infamous Hydreigon (that I believe was implied to be a PULSE2 by Eve). Now, I know this is gonna sound kind of wild, but I think that her other five Pokemon will be Legendary Dragon-type Pokemon. Why? Because Lin was a dragon-type user in the other online league, and the New World Field doesn't specifically boost dragon-types, but it boosts all legendary pokemon's signature moves. There could be an in-game reason as to how she acquired a bunch of legendaries - like maybe they are illusions/simulations (like the Mewtwo, Arceus and Zekrom/Reshiram we fought), maybe she's controlling them with the power of Arc-Pulse - or maybe she's just stronk and caught them like a normal person/robot/ghost/astral projection. Now, as to what legendaries she would use, I think: Latios/Latias (because they have Levitate); Black/White Kyurem (depending on the path the player chose); Mega Rayquaza (obligatory mega pokemon, also it's airborne); Ultra Necrozma; and Zygarde (it has four signature moves boosted by the field effect). Or maybe she'll have Arc-Pulse on her team, although I think that will be the true final boss of the game, and we'll face it after we defeat Lin. What do you think these battles will be like? What Pokemon do you think they'll use?

Did this happen at night? Because they are only there during the day, and leave at night.

No, there are 807 pokemon in total. 731 refers to all currently available Pokemon in-game (I think that includes Phione)

I'm kind of like that too. I don't like using (at least during main story battles) Pokemon that are other trainer's aces, and I like to keep in my main roster Pokemon that somewhat "rhyme" with other trainer's. For example, I chose a water-type as my starter, because Fern and Victoria have respectively a Grass and Fire starters (Cain gets the water starter later, but his ace/starter is Nidoran, so it doesn't count). Also, considering how much Fern looks down at the player, it would make sense in-universe if the player had a type disadvantage against his starter. I use Gardevoir and Nidoqueen in my main team, because they "rhyme" with Victoria's Gallade and Cain's Nidoking. I also try not to use during main story battles Pokemon like Hydreigon, Garchomp, Electivire or Chandelure (even though I have all of these in my rotation box), because in-universe they have negative connotations, being the aces of the leaders of Team Meteor, and being used during the storyline to kill/torture major characters. I think it would be in poor taste for the MC to use these Pokemon while around the other major characters.

The only starter that is OP from the get-go is Speed Boost Torchic, as others have said. Protean Froakie and Contrary Snivy are great, but only fairly late in the game. The Froakie line in particular doesn't have a great lvl up movepool, and while it's extremely fast, it lacks the sheer power to OHKO most opponents (which is a problem, considering how frail it is). Charmander is very OP at the beginning because of Dragon Rage, but later in the game it will start to stop pulling its weight. My honest advice: you should really take into account their lvl up movepools before picking a starter. Good TMs and good Move Tutors are fairly scarce in Pokemon Reborn until very, very late game.

Thanks! PM me when you're available

Any EVs, IVs and nature will do, I just want them to complete my Pokedex (and I'm sick of searching for them in-game). - Spiritomb - Natu or Xatu - Amaura or Aurorus - Smeargle - Munna or Musharna - Bounsweet, Steenee or Tsareena - Tynamo, Eelektrik or Eelektross

Thanks!

Oh. Is there a patch/fix or something?

I'm having trouble with the sidequest in Agate City where a woman named Bee asks to see my Pokedex. She tells me "let me copy this information real fast", and then... nothing. When I talk to her again, she just repeats the same dialogue. What am I missing here?

A scientist in Grand Hall told me to take care of some wild Pokemon that have gathered at the railnet entrance in the Byxbysion Wasteland. Does anyone know where that is? I've searched everywhere in Byxbysion, but can't find it.

Ok, can we trade Chimchar now?

Ok, can you message me when you can trade?

Huh, I actually have a shiny male (and Adamant) Sneasel, but it doesn't have great Attack IVs. Its IVs are 13/3/28/8/28/31. It has Icicle Crash, Ice Shard and Fake Out. Do you want it?

Seriously? I would really appreciate it. Do you want anything in particular in return?

Does anyone have a Bulbasaur, Chikorita, Turtwig, Popplio, Chimchar or Litten (or any of their evolved forms) to spare? Any IV or EVs will do, I just need them to finish a sidequest.

Xe did, though. When the player freed Victoria, Arclight and Adrienn, Victoria and Arclight dropped face-first into the floor, and Victoria was complaining that "everything hurts", while Arclight had passed out from getting his eye ripped out. Adrienn was visibly fine, and didn't mention at any point that xe got injured. Xyr literal response was "Oh, goodness. I was not ready to ride that ride...". It's quite a contrast. The "Arclight witnessed Adrienn's cage being super heated" could be hand waved as Lin's theatricality - the cage was either designed to only appear to be super heated, or was specifically designed for Adrienn to withstand it with the help of xyr Pokemon. Remember, all of that happened offscreen, we only have the eyewitness account of another character. That is usually a big red flag. Add that to Adrienn being alone with Ame when they were blindsided (which also happened offscreen), Ame's ultimate fate, and Adrienn being the only character (other than the PC) who walked away unharmed, and the fact that Team Meteor knew they were coming, and that raises even more red flags.

Sooo... I can't be the only one that doesn't buy the nice guy binary image Adrienn gives. Does anyone else think that xe's a double agent for Lin? (not Team Meteor, but Lin specifically) I started getting suspicious during the events of E16, where Adrienn was the only character (other than the player) who walked away scot-free, and everything that supposedly happened to xyr was completely offscreen. Not only that, but xe was with Ame when they were overpowered/captured, which raises a lot of red flags. There's also the fact that the place we found xyr was the Citae, where supposedly Child!Lin also was, so they might have been alone there together for some time before the player, El, Radomus and Cain came along. That makes me think that xe's in league with Lin specifically, and the restoration of Reborn somehow figures into Lin's agenda (not necessarily Team Meteor's). Does anyone else think that way? Was it the dog all along? Is Adrienn a secret asshole?
