  3. What are some of you're shiny stories? Were you lucky with them or did you never get one? My first shiny encounter was in Crystal( no it wasn't gyarados) and it was a butterfree in the area with the bug catching contest,The only thing was my box was full when I caught it and I couldn't keep it...I was not happy. The next time was also in crystal...ive played Crystal alot...and I mean slot. I don't exactly remember what it was, I'm thinking voltorb, I just remember accidently killing it because my mons were to strong to weaken it without killing it which was a bummer...the third was also also crystal...and it was one of the roaming legendaries...you can imagine how that went. So countless hours in Crystal with 3 shiny encounters and I wasn't able to snag any one of them. Moving on to gen3, sapphire was my first successful shiny capture and it was illumise. It was the first time I caught a shiny, the mon sucked but it was shiny. So gen 3 was one successful encounter and capture. Gen 4, in platinum, my first and only shiny encounter was ryhorn..and I didn't have any pokeballs so I missed out on that. So gen 4 was 1 unsuccessful encounter. I didn't play gen 5 until recently, but I didn't run into any shines, so 0 encounters there Gen 6, in x or y, don't remember which, but it was an azurill, and I caught it. Never used it because I didn't need a water type but I had it and still have it. Then in alpha sapphire, this is funny but I found a shiny illumise in the same spot I did in sapphire all those years ago. I couldn't catch it but I thought the situation was funny. I also caught a zangoose with toxic boost in x or y, that I still use online from time to time ( extreme evo boost eevee with baton pass into a toxic boost zangoose with toxic orb/facade wrecks shop lol). So I had 3 encounters with 2 successful captures in this gen. No luck in gen 7 though, I haven't even ran into one..so 0 encounters there.
  4. My was charizard, followed by mewtwo then typhlosian, and the last one was the event blaziken from x and y
  5. I prefer energy ball, get all the damage output you can.
  6. I'm being cheeky but yeah...I stopped playing half way through because i couldn't take the story anymore lol. It's definitely one of the most polished and professional fan games out...but the characters and the story? Not my taste
  7. Wait....rejuvenation is a Pokemon game?
  8. I have a quick question about how abilities like tough claws and sheer force work. It boosts moves by 30 percent. So for example, would a move like drill run that has 80 base power become 110 power, or will it become 104 power? Is it 30 percent of a 100 or 30 percent of the moves power?
  9. I can get you a serperior if you want one..I have a couple, whimsicott is pretty good with a fairy typing. Or i could get you that too or both if you want them
  10. You don't have to replace luxray..but it wouldnt hurt to have a grass type in the wings for them pesky water/ground types. Like i said, having more than 6 team members is gonna help you alot. I personally don't like rotom but that's just me. A contrary serperior with leaf storm saved my bacon in the water gym
  11. 6/10 I don't know where it's from, but the art looks good
  12. You're team is pretty solid in terms of coverage, while i never recommend only using 6 pokemon in this game (I personally keep a squad in rotation). But I'd switch drapion for Krookodile just so half your team wouldnt be weak to ground attacks. I also recommend having a solid grass type for a certain water gym leader, as she has strategies to counter electric more so than grass
  13. My favorite design is the level ball, followed by the luxury ball
  14. I don't upload but I have to admit..when no one is looking, sometimes my thumb "accidentally" runs across the power button when a battle goes south...cant explain it though.....
  15. Arbok was a helpful in my early game as well. Arbok really needs a buff in stats, and a dark typing
  16. Cain was funny at first but seriously,that dude need to chill it stopped being funny to be extra.. I don't like titania, I hate her attitude, I really don't like that she uses her aegislash to kill, I'm not above killing the bad guys but those grunts were just grunts. At least she feels some guilt after the event during the reshiram path...but other than that, id be fine never seeing her again I ain't got enough time to spend on amaria.. she really started ticking me off with just her melodrama alone....and after her stunt in the pool? Screw her
  17. Oh boy, yes. Every time I do a nuzlocke its a randomizer, and I only randomize what Pokemon show up, I don't do a full randomize where everything is random like the types and items. I tried fire red a few times but never made it to far because everytime my starter was trash so I quit and moved to heartgold, here i actually succeeded, I was getting good mons left and right, I ended the run with a garchomp, walrein, ampharos, infernape,shiftry and I forgot what the flier was. But that was my only successful and lucky run, emerald i wiped at roxanne who had an entei, I never felt the need to retry so I moved on to platinum....my journey up until eterna forest was a cake walk, before the 2nd gym I already had gyrados, dusclops ( didn't have any good damaging moves, but served as a good wall while I healed the other members) grovyle, houndoom, and onix.. I only had 5 because my first encounters most of the time were legendaries so I didn't even try to catch them because they wouldn't stay in the ball and I wasn't gonna risk losing to a wild encounter...everything was smooth until a galactic grunt whipped out a palkia...and there my nuzlocke endeavors ended.. I was thinking of starting a regular Oras nuzlocke run, but we'll see
  18. I sacrificed a goat during the eclipse..... Nah. The real most unusual thing I've done was play donkey basketball, and yes, it's playing basketball while riding a donkey it was 6 on 6 game with kids on miniature donkeys in a basketball court
  19. This Idea is ripped from the series of videos from poketubers a few years ago where they listed if they were real trainers what trainer class and pokemon you would have if you were a real trainer. I thought it could be fun here, so if you were in the pokemon world, what would your trainer class be? You can use made up or existing trainer classes from the games. For myself, If i was a trainer, I'm sure when I was younger I'd be challenging the League, but these days I'm more interested in the traveling and studying aspect of the world, learning the mythologies and tracking roaming legendary pokemon is probably what would take up most of my time, so lets say my trainer class would along the lines of Wanderer, and my team of six would be.. 1. Raichu: Raichu has been a favorite of mine since the beginning of the series, I love it's small but tough design, It may be considered one of the weaker electric types but it can still pack a punch, let's say Raichu was my first pokemon. 2. Lycanroc-Dusk: I'm a big fan of wolves, love these animals and I love all three Lycanroc designs but dusk form is one of my favorite pokemon period, plus it has a better move pool than the other two. 3. Sceptile: One of my favorite starters, and the first time I used a grass type on a team, it is one of my favorites as well, this will be my mega. 4. Darmanitan: I missed out on gen 5, gen 4 and 5 was an awkward time for me in particular because i was in that stage wondering if i was to old to be enjoying pokemon and everyone in my age group dipped out so it wasn't fun for me anymore, it wasn't till gen 6 and fan games i started getting familiar with gen 5 mons and Darmanitan in particular has become one of my favorite fire types, It is a real heavy hitter. 5. Haxorus: Another gen 5 five mon i really like, this thing will definitely be my main powerhouse when things get heated. 6. Staraptor: I'd need a flier for sure and staraptor is my favorite bird, was so glad I got a pidove so I could evolve it into a powerful staraptor. I know half of my team would be weak to Ice but I'd figure the others would be more than capable of handling any major ice threats. So what kind of trainer would you be? gym leader is also an acceptable trainer class
  20. My Serperior swept with leaf storm/contrary boost, It's defenses tanked all her attacks and a plus five boosted giga drain kept me healthy the whole fight
  21. CHAPTER 3 Agate Village 12 years ago Alex handed Allen the money for the window she broke, as she slipped her back pack over her shoulders she took another look at Levi, then at his grandparents. Alex: "You know if Levi wanted to register to be a trainer I wouldn't mind if he tagged along with me till he got a solid start" Levi's eyes lit up, Allen scoffed, and Carrie shook her head Carrie: "I'm tired of you traveling trainers trying to influence Levi, he doesn't need to be out there" Alex: "Why not? I was younger than him when I started, and it wasn't that long ago a 11 yr. old in the Kanto region became the regional champion" Allen: "Yeah and look at you...before tonight you look like you haven't had a good meal in awhile, the bags under your eyes tell me you haven't had a decent nights sleep in awhile either, is traveling with a bunch beasts really worth being improperly fed and rested? We let our daughter do it and we never saw her again" Alex: "I'm just saying, Levi has what it takes, he's quick thinking, well-mannered and pretty sharp. I'd make sure nothing happens to him till he got..'' Carrie: "Enough child, as we said, as long as he's a child under our roof he won't engage in this nonsense" Levi took a deep breath and stood in front of his grandparents, Carrie was taken aback by the determined unafraid look he had his face, the way he was looking at her gave her flashback to when Thomas told them he was gonna marry Anne whether they liked it or not... Levi: "This is the only thing I ever wanted to do, and I don't want to wait any longer" The Rockruff trotted up to Levi wagging it's tail, and Alex noticed the synergy again..the Rockruff's bond with Levi was so strong it was sharing the same emotions as him. Levi: " If mom really left this Rockruff for me to raise, wouldn't you think she wanted me to do this? I'm gonna become a trainer sooner or later whether you like it or not, so why keep holding me back" Whether you like it or not he says, even the same words Thomas used toward us. Carrie thought to herself. Allen:" You know what? I've had it with you anyway." Carrie was snapped out of her thoughts by Allen's words what's he doing Allen: "I never wanted you here anyway, I thought we put this behind us last year, but if you want to be as fool hardy as your deadbeat father, go ahead just don't expect us to welcome you back when you fail" Carrie: "You watch your tongue Allen Brady!" Alex was taking aback by his outburst, and judging from Carrie's reaction she wasn't expecting it either. Allen:" If getting that brat out will finally get these beast tamers to get off my back then more power to him, I'm tired of having this conversation, kid! start packing whatever's yours, first thing in the morning you better get out of here" Levi usually cowered down at Allen's outbursts but this time he just stood there unfazed. Alex stood there wishing she kept her mouth shut, why would she try to help a kid she didn't know anyway? She didn't realize she'd open a can of worms this big when she offered to help Levi get started, she turned and walked away before the trio's yelling turned into a battle royale. I thought my family had issues, she thought to herself as she wandered the village looking for a place to spend the night. The next morning... Levi stood in his room, finally he was allowed to leave, but it wasn't on the terms he had hoped for, while he admitted he'd miss Carrie, he still couldn't wait to get away from Allen, he had treated Levi with contempt for as long as he could remember, even though he was only 12, he couldn't imagine how anyone could be so bitter and so angry, but it didn't matter anymore. He made sure he had everything he needed in his bag, when he was confident he was ready he slipped on his open fingered gloves and made his way to the door. He walked out and took a look back to see if Carrie would see him off...but she didn't come out. Levi walked up the house in tree in the center of the village and knocked on the door. Eagun opened the door to see young Levi standing there geared up. Eagun: "Well now what have we here, young man?" Levi: "They're finally gonna let me do it, I'm gonna become trainer" Eagun: "Wonderful! I've been waiting for this! You'll do fine out there, once you get some training in don't forget to come back here, I'd like to battle you myself" Levi: " I'll be sure to do that, I can't wait! But I have a question where do I go to get registered?" Eagun: " The HQ Lab would be the place to go, when you go there see Prof. Krane, tell him i sent you and I'm sure he'll set you up. You could go to Mt. Battle as well, but the HQ lab is a much easier trip" Levi: " Thank you, I'll do that, I'll cya around" Eagun stood there as Levi left, he couldn't wait to see Levi comeback and challenge him to battle, It would be the 3rd generation Winchester he'd face in battle...3rd generation he thought, the thought of that reminded him how old he was getting..oh to to be young again he thought...
  22. CHAPTER 2 Agate Village 12 years ago. Two of the elderly bystander's who watched the incident with the Brady's window were sitting outside the poke-center with a cup of coffee watching the sun set, one of them broke the silence with a chuckle. Old Man: "Boy! you see the look on Allen's face when that Mightyena jumped at him? It was priceless!' The other old man almost choked on his coffee thinking about again Old Man: "That old stick in the mud, it should do him good to get ruffed up once in awhile, if he ain't scolding that kid he is complaining about something, life's to short to be so angry all the time" Other Old Man: "You got that right, if I was little Levi i wouldn't have intervened, that boy has the makings of great trainer if the Brady's would let him, Eagun said so himself." Old Man: "You know who that kid is right?" Other Old Man: "I know he's their grandson" Old Man: "Do you remember Ol Marty?" Other Old Man: " I sure do." Old Man: "Well Levi is also Marty's grandson through his son Tommy" Other Man: "You don't say, i thought he favored someone familiar, so how'd he end up with the Brady's?" Old Man: "Well the way I heard it, Tommy showed up at their doorstep 12 years ago not long after Levi was born and dropped him off and he was never heard from again." Other Man: "That's a shame, he's a good kid" Old Man: "He still has that fire in his eyes, he needs to be out there. If he hangs around Allen much longer he'll put that spark out" Other Man: "Well maybe he will someday" Alex took the last bite of her pie that Carrie had baked for dessert. Alex: "That was delicious Mrs. Brady, you've been to kind" Carrie: "Think nothing of it girl, Allen left for Gateon Port to pick up the window, I'm sure he'll be eager to hand you the receipt" Alex smiled, and looked at Levi who barely touched his slice. She couldn't help but notice he stared at her alot throughout the evening, but she knew it wasn't in a weird or creepy way, but more inquisitive than anything else. She could tell he had something on his mind he wanted to ask her but he never spat it out. When he saw her look at him his eyes dropped back his half eaten pie. Alex: "Hey Levl, something on your mind?" Levi looked over shoulder to see if Carrie was within earshot, when she went to other room Levi turned back. Levy: "How long you been a trainer?" Alex: "Umm...a couple of years, but I've just started to take it seriously a few months ago, just travelling around Orre, battling as many trainers as I can, actually I plan on leaving for the Hoenn Region and challenge the league there" Levi's eyes widened Levi: "Hoenn? why not take on the colosseum challenges here?" Alex: "I've lived in Orre my whole life, I want a change of scenery for once, you know?" Levi: "Yeah..I know..I've wanted to be a trainer forever...but they won't let me leave, they say it's to dangerous, I thought if i could show them how well i could raise Rockruff they'd let me become a registered trainer, but grandpa hates pokemon and grandma doesn't like the idea of going on a journey, in fact the only times I've been aloud to leave the village is to run errands at Gateon Port, but they won't let me go alone. The people here came close to convincing them to let me go last year, but after the cipher incident here they dug their heels in even deeper, If I was just allowed to properly train I could've helped then, If it wasn't for that guy with the snag machine showing up it would be untelling what would have happened here. I like the people here...but I want to have my own stories, like the old men that hang out in front of the center and Mister Eagun, I want to be as strong as the guy who saved us, stronger even" Levi heard footsteps of his grandma walking back to the dining room and he went back to fiddling with his pie. Alex couldn't help but for feel for him, it's hard having a dream that you're forced to ignore, he could make it she thought...even though it was one command, his reaction time and Rockruff's synergy with Levy was impressive, it was almost like the Rockruff knew what his trainer was thinking the split second he thought of it and was already on the move before Levi could finish saying his command, even though it didn't really hurt her much more experienced mightyena, it still surprised her that he got caught off guard like that by a much smaller and weaker pokemon. If there was a way to help him out she would..but what could she do? She doubted she could say anything the grandparents haven't heard before. Carrie: "I hope you haven't been filling Levi's head with tales from the road, I have enough trouble with folks around here giving ideas" Alex: "No ma'am, just casual talk" Carrie: " Good, Allen should be back any minute now, when he does you're free to leave" Alex sat back in her chair thinking, "What can I do..."
  23. CHAPTER 1 AGATE VILLAGE 12 years later. Trainer 1: "Leavanny use X-scissor !" At it's trainers command, the Leavanny sprung into action covering its arm with a sickly green aura formed in a X and struck the Mightyena. Trainer???: "Don't think you'll win just because you have a type advantage! Mightyena use fire fang!" Mightyena quickly stood back up, after letting out a fearsome roar, the area around its mouth erupted in a fiery aura, the leavanny tried to avoid the incoming foe by leaping but the Mightyena's speed closed the distance in an instant. Mightyena caught leavanny in mid air with it's fire fang and with a swift motion hurled the leavanny. Trainer??? "Oh NO!" The trainer's attention was so focused on winning the match she didn't realize how close the battle had got to one of the nearby houses till her mightyena threw the leavanny through the window at the front of house. The two trainers nervously looked at each other. Trainer ???: "We've done it now ain"t we?" Trainer 1: "I can't belie.." The trainer"s words were cut short by the incoherent yelling of an older man storming out the front door with the young man's unconscious leavanny in his arms Man: "You blasted kids! look what you did do my window! Why in the hell were you brats battling so close to my house!?!?" Trainer???: "I'm sorry sir its my fault, it was my pokemon that threw leavanny, it's all my fault I'll pay for the window I promise" The young woman bowed her head as show of respect, but the man's temper didn't seem to cool off, after aggressively dropping leavanny on the ground in front if it's trainer, he started angrily pacing towards the young woman till the sight of Mightyena's bared teeth caused him to slow his pace. Alex: "My name is Alex, if you don't want Mightyena to mistake you for a threat I'd suggest cooling your temper, he just recently evolved and I can't fully tame his aggression yet, I'm deeply sorry for the window I told you I'll pay for it" The man either outright ignored her or was to mad to hear what Alex just said, he continued hollerin' and without hesitation Mightyena leaped towards him, Alex reached for mightyena's ball but her reaction was nowhere fast enough,the man fell back holding his arms up in fear anticipating Mightyena's sharp teeth to cut his arms till he heard a familiar voice call out Voice: "Rockruff! Quick Attack!" The Mightyena was struck in the mouth by the brown blur that seemed to come out of nowhere, It didn't do much damage to the mightyena but it stopped it in it's tracks giving Alex enough time to return it to it's ball. Alex: "I-I-I tried to warn you, I'm sorry" The man stood up, his face as red as a cheri berry, but before he could yell some more a woman's voice came out of the door way. Carrie: "Allen if you don't stop all that screaming I'm gonna wallop you myself!" Allen: "Her beast tried to attack me!" Carrie: "She told you what would happen, and you didn't pay her no mind. If Levi's reaction was a second slower you'd be a chew toy right now!" Alex: " I'm sorry, sir, ma'am. I swear I'll pay for the window." Carrie: "I heard you the first time honey," Alex: " He's only been a mightyena for 2 days, his newfound aggression is still surprising to me, I haven't quite got a handle on him yet" Carrie: "Don't worry about it hun, I've had Allen for 40 years and I'm still training him" Alex let a chuckle slip out but quickly composed herself when she saw Allen wasn't to amused at his wife's joke. Allen turned and made his way back toward the house, no doubt cursing under his breath. Alex's eyes drifted to the Rockruff, who scurried back to the side of the young brown haired boy standing outside the door. Alex: " That was quick thinking kid, if you hadn't been there I could've been in a lot more trouble, that's a rather unique pokemon you got there, did I hear you call it a Rockruff? I have to say it's my first time seeing one of these it must be pretty rare." Levi: "Thanks miss. They're actually native to the Alola Region, so I'm told" Alex: "How'd someone so young get a pokemon from that far away?" Levy: "Eagun told me it was a gift from my Mom, he gave me an egg, said it was from my mom and it hatched into rockruff here" Rockruff let out a playful yelp as it trotted toward Alex, she bent down and gave it a few rubs behind it's ears. Alex: " It's adorable, Levi. You're a trainer too I assume?'' Levi: " Well.." Levi's words were cut short by Carrie. Carrie: "You two come in here and clean this glass up, I'll have dinner ready in 30 minutes, young lady if you're hungry I'll fix you up a plate.'' Alex: "Oh..why thank you ma'am." Levi: " We'd better get started, it shouldn't take long, wished that other guy didn't run off so fast, he could've helped." Alex: "Haha, Alright.."
  24. Because of Reborn's limited options when it comes to using mons (especially earlygame) you're basically forced to use mons you probably wouldn't use otherwise, which is fun and made me appreciate some mons more and focus on strategies with them. There were several times throughout my 80 plus hours of Reborn that pokemon i didnt care for actually surprised me with how well it performed. The main example for my team in particular was Granbull. I never used or cared for granbull at all, even after getting a type change, but when that lady gave me her snubbul i thought "eh a fairy type would be useful", but my granbull came in clutch multiple times for me, from sweeping kiki to various other close calls, there was a point whered its attack stat was higher then the rest of party's damaging stats so it was my hardest hitting mon for awhile, I used it for the majority of my playthrough but after a while it was starting to get one shotted by stronger mons later in the game so i benched it for gardevoir, but early to mid playthrough it was invaluable in my battles. What are some mons you used in Reborn you don't normally use otherwise that made you sit back and say "I didn't know you had it in you" because of how well it performed?
