That's not Oki Doki for sure O_O

Well yes I won't deny that. Having these two at the start of the game is a pretty big advantage, but at the end of the day I don't think it's anything too crazy since you can get the both of them before your 3rd badge via their specific events (even if rng based). Besides, like I said this will be my actual first complete run of this game and boy does it get difficult later on (especially if you haven't experienced the battles beforehand). Kiki and later Samson will definitly be a pain in the neck, and having a bulky guy like Bewear will help out a bit along with the existent flying types. They are kind of essencial due to story reason aswell Thank you! Hope you enjoyed this first bit. I have checked out the first couple chapters of your James run aswell and I've gotta say that is also a pretty good idea in itself. Good luck with your run.

Ah I see what you did there. Good luck on your run aswell! Sawsbuck seems like a pretty good normal type aswell with that powerful Horn Leech.

Will do for sure. I have heard the Legends of the Ape King Countering the Land Shark Dragon atop a blazing volcano

Greetings everyone! With the recent release of Episode 17 of Pokémon Reborn, with all the Alola flair that has been added to the mix, I decided I wanted to start anew and what a better way to do this than with a challenge run. Now while I have played a fair share of Reborn before I have actually never completed an entire run and in order to fix this I will share with you readers my first complete experience of this game (I just recently joined the community even if I had been following part of it from the shadows, but that's beside the point xD). Anyway, as with any run of this kind I will attempt to clear this game using only Pokémon that are of the Normal Type (either pure or dual) for all the important story related battles, with the only exception being to breed, hunt for specific items or Pokémon (since I want this to be a complete run I'll also try to catch as many Pokémon I can to fill up dat Dex and make 'ol Oak proud). As a side note I will make a few references here and there to the popular series Danganronpa, which as a few of you might have already noticed by this point is something I enjoy quite a lot :D. I might also quote or reference other animes or franchises, but I'll think about that as I go. With that out of the way I will now officially start this story. Prologue: Hope and ThisBear The Protagonist that shall star in this adventure is Stanley (named after the word Standard). He's your average guy who usually keeps a low profile as to not get himself any unwanted attention and to stay away from trouble in general (which I'm guessing he won't be able to for long anyway). Before moving on I'd like to give a huge shout out to the wonderful people from the Request-A-Mon Thread (Looking at you @walpurgis) who made this run possible by giving me the two central members of my team. This here is Starly: It has been with Stanley pretty much since it hatched from its egg back in his home region. He's Jolly nature and comes with the special move Double-Edge (which packs a punch but I'm pretty such a 'life-risking tackle' can't be good for such a small developing bird). The one other Pokémon that Stanley brought with him to the Reborn region will be mentioned shortly since it has a pretty unique story on its own. It was a normal day just like any other and our hero was getting ready to leave his school and go home, when suddenly the intercom sounded: "Attention. The student Stanley Johnson is requested at the Principal's office." He wandered what this was about. He hadn't done anything that could get him in trouble as per usual, so he just grabbed his backpack and walked in the office's direction. There he was asked to sit down and then the Principal turned to him and said: "Listen Stanley, I have called you because there is something I must communicate to you. You have been chosen by the School's Committee via a random draft to leave this school and travel to the faraway region of Reborn. It is a wonderful opportunity to improve yourself as a trainer, see other places and meet new people. Hmm, yes... I would even go as far as to say you are our Luckiest student to have been selected like this, it's almost like a talent really!" With that and a few more parting words he bid Stanley farewell and wished him luck on his challenge to come. Still a bit dazzled with this turn of events our protagonist went home to share the news with his parents. They were pretty pleased with this and thought it would be the perfect setup for their son to finally stand up from the crow and make a name for himself (which was by no means his intention). He replied with: "Mom, Dad, we've talked about this before...I use Normal types for a reason. I just want to be myself and live life at my own pace. I don't need recognition from others to be happy you know, since you guys were always there for me for that". They all hugged and Stanley then went to gather up his things to get ready for the trip next day. On the next morning he left his house early with his next destination in mind, the train station. Even though Reborn as quite far away from his region, arrangements were made so he could make the trip by train. On his way there he bumped on a tall and attractive young lady. She had long blonde long hair and piercing blue eyes which immediately crossed Stanley's as they passed by each other. He apologized and was going to keep walking, but she grabbed his shoulder and said to him: "You! You are the one from the news, aren't you? The kid who won the draft and is going to travel to the Reborn Region to challenge its League!" He nodded, and she kept talking, clearly excited (almost abnormally so): "Ah yes! Reborn. Such a beautiful place. Well it was anyway. Seems like a recent traaaagic and awful event shook the entire region on its core. It certainly isn't looking that pretty nowadays from what I've heard. Aaaaaaaaaaaah! Just thinking about it gets my blood pumping! All the destruction, the pain they must have felt seeing their loved ones’ parish under the rubble, their hopes for a normal and peaceful future crushed under such anguish! Ah such beautiful des...Oh anyway, here, take this bear!" She reached for a Pokéball (from her... chest!?) and extended it to Stanley: "Take it, this little guy will help you out on your quest. You'll need all the help you can get since there are many strong trainers still looking for a purpose on those desolate lands. He has a bit of a... personality, but you'll see that it will serve you well. Now good luck on your travels byeeee~!" She left as quickly as she had appeared out of nowhere. Our hero was slightly creeped out by this odd character, but he could tell there was more to her than what her looks suggested. Still she had a point. He had heard beforehand that Reborn as different from every other known region. All their Gym Leaders were absurdly strong, packing full teams and fighting in special arenas which almost looked like they were costumed tailored to their fighting styles. What wrong could an extra team member be? He opened the Pokéball just before entering the station and there it was: A strange black and white Stufful who had a faint red glow on his eyes. It certainly looked a bit unusual even among its species which was known for its violent behavior despite its cutesy exterior. This Adamant little bear proved itself to be strong right off the bat though, being able to envelop its small paws with an icy cold breeze. How the little one could punch like that was a mystery, but nonetheless it was still a Normal Type Pokémon, which was good in Stanley's book. And with that he put his new partner back into its Pokéball, took out his ticked and prepared to board the train. Five others were waiting, just like him, but only brief changes of words were made and they all entered and got on their seats, unbeknownst to the fact that this trip would be everything except... NORMAL (tuduuuuuuuuh). Well guys I hope you had a good read with what I've come with for this introduction. Feel free to leave any feedback as to whether or not you would like for me to keep giving my outlook on the events of the story as they happen besides just listing my progresses on the Reborn League Challenge. That is all for now guys and gals but expect the first Chapter soon! After that I'm afraid that the progress I'll make during this month will be kinda slow because of some external stuff but don't let that concern you. Cheers and see you soon!

Thank you! I apologize once more for my mistake but at least not too much harm was done right? Cheers everyone.

Highly possible, at the time I was going to post I got sidetracked for a couple minutes and a couple posts were made in the meantime. I edited some of it but I guess I still got something wrong. Sorry about that :/

Grass:26 Steel: 11 Ground: 14 Ice:21 Ghost: 21 Dark: 10 Bug: 23 Rock: 2 Poison: 12 Must not let it dieeee xD

Like many others have said I have a special attachment to whatever starter Pokémon I end up liking the most in each generation, however my Signature Pokémon and my Favorite Pokémon are one and the same. I will never forget when the Pokedex for Black and White first leaked and then actually seeing it in game being used by one of the best villains in the main series, watching as it destroyed everything in its path...yes I am talking about the one and only: Yeah it was a fairly overrated Pokémon at the time but it was still overshadowed by many of the Pseudo Legendaries, but I am cool with that. No matter how awesome some of the Mons GameFreak has been throwing at us in the last few years this beast will always be my number one.

Goodra like many of the Pseudo Legendaries is a very versatile Pokémon which you can use both as a physical or special sweeper, aswwell as a tank. It does get really good moves by level for both of its offensive stats (special attack is slightly higher) so really just choose based on what you think your lineup needs. You could just use that shiny one you got and change its nature in 7th street to Adamant or Jolly since it as really good ivs in everything except special attack or similarly change the nature of the other goomy to modest or timid and make it a special sweeper instead. Choice items are really strong on it since it has some pretty good bulk. I hope this was of some help ^-^ As for the second question I think i have heard around that it is legal to trade beteen your own save files but I think you need two computers to do it or something (sorry I can't awnser it more clearly).

Adding to that I also once came across what I think is a bug (though I'm not sure) in which the fact that it was a windy day with rain didn't allow Lotad to show up. Just rain or even Tunderstorm with rain work fine from my experience though. Just make sure you are checking the lower portion of the Coral Ward Pier with all those conditions met and it should be there.

Greetings everyone! While I have played my fair share of Reborn I actually never completed an entire run. With the start of a new year and the recent release of Episode 17 I would like to do a fresh start. I've tried a Monotype Run before with Dark (my favorite type :D) and it was going pretty well, but I ended up stopping after around my 5th badge because a lot was going on at the time. Anyway, this time I decided I wanted to do a Normal monotype run and so I am requesting the following Pokémon (I'll use the import feature from Pokémon Showdown to make things easier): Starly (M) Ability: Keen Eye Level: 5 Happiness: 70 Jolly Nature - Quick Attack - Tackle - Double-Edge - Growl and Stufful (M) Ability: Fluffy Level: 5 Shiny: Yes Happiness: 70 Adamant Nature - Tackle - Ice Punch - Bide - Leer And that's it! In short, I'd like them to have those egg moves (Double Edge and Ice Punch), both being male and with decent (or good ^-^) Ivs in all stats (I don't care about special attack) if possible. The Stufful being Shiny is also very important because he looks like Monokuma when it evolves and I really want that as my main (Danganronpa fanboy alert). I also have a question since I'm new around here and still don't know how a few of these things work: Is it possible (even though it's rng related) to make it so that the events in the earlier portions of the game that give a random different pokémon to always give me the one that is Normal type (Ex. The Zigzagoon in the Bridge and the newly added Mincinno - I'm not sure - in the house in Lower Peridot Ward)? I'll attach a save file of the moment before I choose my starter (I am thinking about choosing Snivy, even if I'll just box it immediately, because it is the only non obtainable starter that I haven't picked in any other file). - Game.rxdata Thanks in advance to whoever ends up fulfilling this request of mine! Edit: As of now this has been dealt with!
