Salutations! Veteran Trainer Floyd enters the Reborn Region!


Floyd

Recommended Posts

I had this big, long introduction written out, and went to edit some parts by doing the ctrl+left and I hit alt+left by accident and now its all gone..

lmfao, oh well..

Anyways, people who know me online know me as 'Floyd' or 'Floyd Hunter'. I'm an avid gamer. I tend to stick to MMO's like GW2 or Tera, and I have my eye on Black Desert(cant wait to make a wizard in that game lol). I also dabble in some MOBA's(Smite, sometimes but very rarely LoL). I saw a post on tumblr about this site/game and decided to check it out. After some light research into it via the site, and finding out that the game was a standalone and not a rom hack, I decided to install it and play it.

So far, I'm liking the game. I haven't gotten too far into it though. I'm trying to get a shiny starter and its not going so well.. lol. I did, however, get my GF hooked onto the game. She's way past me. Either going for or just got her third badge. She was having some issues in the beginning with her starter being 20+ before getting the first badge. I think she's new in general to the games, or at least didn't expect the Pokémon to ignore her orders and loaf around half the time lol.

I thought it was funny, she however did not. xD

Anyways, I've been playing Pokémon off and on since I was a kid. Back in the good old days of Red and Blue. A simpler time.. lol. I kinda stopped playing, but still followed between Diamond/Pearl and Black/White generations. I did play a bit of Soul Silver, and a very small amount of Black but that's about it from those generations. I'm considering getting, sometime down the road, Omega Ruby and console to play it on. In the mean time, I'll spend my Pokémon time in the Reborn Region!

PS: I have one question before I go back to my shiny starter attempts; when you go to name your starter, the sprite that is there, will it be the shiny colour if you get a shiny? or will it just be the regular colour and you have to check your team out to see if its shiny?

As far as I know, it will be normal colored.

With that out of the way, Hi Floyd, welcome to the forums. I'm Pyrrhon, on the forums and showdown. Hope you like the game and all the "joy" it has to offer. I'm sure someone will come along and tell you some of the general things about the server and yada yada yada. Just remember, the reborn community loves you...only if you love them back. Have fun on your journey. Also, I'll ask, what starter are you shiny hunting for? K thanks I'm out bai~ :P

P.S. Make sure not to double post. People will get on you for that.

Hello hello hello! Welcome to the Pokemon Reborn Community! With any questions, you can pm me~ Or create a new topic of course. About your question, when the out-of-battle sprite of a pokemon is shown, (i.e. when looking at your team) The sprite will have the pokemon's normal color.

Hey there Floyd. That has to be one of the worst feelings. I've done it as well. Reborn works a little different. To promote diversity in your team there is a gym leader for each type and the level caps. This means you probably won't be able to just use 6 pokemon to plow through the entire game. You can check the level cap on your trainer card in game. If your pokemon ever go above the level cap. You can use Common Candies to lower them back below it. As others have said, that will not show as shiny, however, I'd recommend skipping the the nicknaming to save yourself some time because the Name Rater is available almost immediately, just north of the exploded train station. Also the chances of a pokemon being shiny in this game are roughly 1/100 much higher than in the main series games.

If you have any questions you can ask the Moderators or myself. But most importantly please read the rules. I'd also recommend checking out as many of the pinned threads as you can because they usually have very useful information you can use. Like the forum FAQ for one. Also, come talk with us on the Pokemon Reborn Showdown Server, you can learn the competitive game or just talk with your fellow reborn citizens there if battling isn't really your thing. There's a link to the top left above Member Info

No matter what your into, there's bound to be people here with similar interests, so stick around.

Going for Charmander. Always went with Charmander in the past, so aiming for that. Plus the GF went with it so now its a competition to see who raises the better one. haha and thanks for the info!!

@ Jericho

Thanks for the info friend! Yeah, I've been researching it a bit. Didn't know about that level cap bit though. That's pretty cool! :D

If you lower a Pokémon's level with a common candy and it learned a move on the higher level, will it unlearn the move?

Yeah, you know those trainers who only fight with their starter and power through the gyms but then generally flounder at the E-4?

I've never been one of those trainers, but it was apparently a popular tactic for some reason. =P

If you intend to get a 3DS, I recommend waiting for the new one to come out, there will be one soon with enhanced hardware that will be able to play both the higher end newer games, and the normal ones for 3DS. I've really enjoyed my 3DS so far, in fact it is probably my favorite handheld system I've ever had.

Welcome to the forum! Disregard the comment above. I'm happy for your shiny Charmander. Be aware that most good pokemon are not available from the start, so you'll have to depend on a different mindset than the brute force applied to most pokemon games. Wander around the forum if you are interested in discussions about the game itself, competitive gaming and lots of other stuff. If you need help with your in-game team, visit the team showcase section. There are also threads with where to find pokemon, items, love and other stuff.

Have fun.

Hey Floyd,

I'm truly surprised Ark din't go all Pink on your ass.. XD

Anyways, check out the all the different stuff on the forums.. You can find all sorts of crazy stuff here..

Ciao!

PS: Sanity is kinda dangerous here.. It has a tendency to explode without reason.. And it can lead to major physiological and psychological damage.. I have also heard reports of it leading to failure of the "Humour" sense and fracturing your funny bone.. So it is in your best interests to leave it outside the door..

Welcome! Everyone loves Charmander and, by and by, the whole evolutionary line. So, with both the evolutions and a great song, I wish you enjoy your time here!

Yeah, I have a few Pokémon in mind for later on that I wanna try. I'm generally pretty good when it comes to Pokémon games, but if I'll definitely be wandering the forums around if I need help or to discuss things! :D I've already been doing so tbh. I read in a forum post somewhere that a gym leader named 'Shade' was gonna be tough! I hope that's true! >:D

I ended up getting a warning point, which, after reading the rules I kinda expected. No more double posts for me. I honestly never thought about doing editing to add things to a comment or post before. Like, I've done it on occasion if I left something out of a post, but it never crossed my mind to use it as a way of adding to the conversation before anyone else posts.. I don't know if that makes sense lol.

PS: Sanity gets checked at the door on a regular basis. One does not simply risk losing a sense of humour!

Hello, and welcome to Reborn!

Hello Floyd! Welcome to Reborn! I hope you will have fun here!

Thanks for the warm welcome guys! Honestly didn't expect more than a few welcomes. lol :D
