Throhdown Posted July 7, 2016 Share Posted July 7, 2016 Greetings and Salutations! I am *information classified* but you may call me Throhdown,named after one of my all time favorite fighting types(though I love all fighting types).I've been aware of Reborn's existence for a few years now but never really had the nerve(or time)to download and play it myself, though seeing as its the summer time and Sun and Moon isn't coming around til fall/winter, I needed something new to catch my interest. And here I am. I've just BSed my way through the 13th gym a day ago and decided that it was time to give my thoughts and opinions on this game. First off, I love it. I love "almost" everything. The setting, the story, the characters. All of it. I've been playing pokemon since I was a tyke and never have I seen an area in pokemon that wasn't "Sunshine Happy Village/Town/Valley" except for the occasional graveyard/burial location in the official games.I got my ass handed to me by both my rivals in the very beginning causing me to re-choose my starter and correct that mistake which also set the immediate tone of just how difficult this game was going to be. It was a struggle in the beginning, with few decent mons to make up my team and a lot of surprisingly capable trainers trying to "legally" rob me by beating on my pets but with some help from the forums and youtube I've been able to half-ass my way to victory!I've lost plenty of times but really I can't say I've had too much difficulty with the gym leaders,rivals and Team Terrorist.Only the occasional "Big-Boss" Poke-mutant the game throws throughout the story...and of course Serra and her BS mirror field effect which completely broke me for a good portion of the game financially were my biggest problems. Sure I beat her eventually(After 39 attempts) and in exchange I got a crappy plastic badge and five more levels on my cap while she keeps my hard earn money and my dignity. I really really REALLY like the event pokemon you find throughout the game's world,I would say it adds a bit more story to your character's journey as you sift through the wreckage of Reborn to find abandoned, abused and unruly pokemon who come to acknowledge your strength and kindness(and generous amount of food)and join you on your quest to the best there ever was(In Reborn).I've been able to power through them or turn them against my opponents when I can(my favorite being the Rainbow Field that I used against Luna during our battle)though some times they can get very annoying and give pokemon that are usually weaker an edge against me. Overall I deeply enjoyed this game despite the trouble it's caused me and look forward to seeing the next episode when it comes out. More than likely I'll try out other pokehacks that pop-up around here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NaughtyNomad Posted July 7, 2016 Share Posted July 7, 2016 Fun read. I too am waiting for the next episode and also waiting for Phoenix Rising to come out. None of the other fan games seem to be able to hold a candle to Reborn, but at least Phoenix Rising looks promising. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mde2001 Posted July 7, 2016 Share Posted July 7, 2016 Hi there Throhdown! Welcome to Reborn! Reborn can be pretty tough, but I'm glad you managed to make it through it and have some fun along the way. I agree that event pokemon add a lot to the story, so I'm glad you like them If you could check out the Community Rules to the left that'd also be incredible. Hope to see you around!
