I have so many playthroughs

[highonpotenuse]

 

I grew up with the very beginning of pokemon, and have been a huge fan ever since. However, for the longest times all of the mainstream games were just too easy and simply left something to be desired. ( i mean come on, the levels go to 100 but you can be champ before level 60) I was never forced to go into depth, was never forced to look up things about different pokemon. I simply caught 6 cool looking pokemon of different types and ran with it.

 

Then i found reborn, right after episode 15 was released. After going through tons of hacks and fan made games, (all of which were maybe harder, but still were missing something), I played reborn for the first time and realized this was it, this was the one. 

 

So all in all, Thank you AME and thanks to the team. pushing level 80 across 9 playthroughs and we still arent done.

 

 

 

Now that that is done, I have found a way to make each play through enjoyable with simple basic rules.

  1. Each playthrough must have 6 completely different starting squad members. 

  2. Each playthrough can only have six main "final squad" pokemon. This does not prevent you from using early game monsters to get through the tedious early game (tech. kricketune). This also does not prevent you from having hm slaves. Your roster may be changed up as much as needed as you progress, however, there is no "in rotation" members. If i commit to someone being on the final team, then that pokemon is either there for life, or until permanently replaced. (example, blaziken vs Ceil, there is no deposit blaze for that leader then bring him back after) You must find a way to win. This is really tough at pulse swalot as you try to make different teams work.

  3. breeding is allowed for egg moves, or natures, however there is no EV training 

  4. All major battles (rivals, gyms, meteor) must be fought on set. This rule alone makes every run difficult in its own right. Ive had some teams get stuck at pulse swalot for a while but then go sweep Ceil, where as others crush the Swalot and get put on the back burner as i figure out how to kill togekiss and set up for the fast acrobatics users (nerf irelia please).
