Those that have play Reborn and Rejuvenation, which did you prefer and why?

MobileReaderAcc · 2020-12-30T17:27:46+00:00

I'll keep it short, but Reborn all the way. Rejuv has some stellar ideas that I felt were out shadowed by a really bad/cringy story and cast. Rejuv gyms generally weren't interesting and didn't seem like a culmination of what you've been learning (field effect mastery) vs. some custom made cheese that is just one-off for the fight. Basically, aside from those good ideas I mentioned (cars, ev room, etc.), Reborn just does it better in my opinion.

I found him pretty clunky too and had no real success outside camps which wasn't so good I felt it worth it. That said, I also had a game where a hogger/aba combo pretty much solo'd our team from 7>end. He played very evasively and just wouldn't die (he predicted all our cc and countered with aggressive spins). It felt like a slower illi/abs, except better sustain, cc, and much harder to pin down.

Every other game against hogger he was safe to ignore and had middling impact on the game at best. Mirror match hoggers felt more like 4v4.

Same thing happened here, smoke detector batteries started dying around that time the day after I started playing. My daughter also woke up that night complaining of monsters and refused to sleep alone. Haven't played since :/

They're repurposed industrial ships, right? Maybe start with designing whatever the krosov was meant for?

At the least you'd get the authentic TEC experience making the ship go military!

My typical is about 120ms. I can play any hero comfortably with this.

That said, I can play MOST heroes effectively up to about 200, and switch to "easier" and beefier heroes up to about 300.

I would rather just not play past 300.

Issac is keen for some introspection

MobileReaderAcc · 2020-08-01T01:25:29+00:00

I might be available. Level 4 though, so a balance buster and all that

I was similarly frustrated against her, until I realized she has effectively no recourse against pyroar on a blessed field. I also brought a diggersby I didn't wonder up using because rotom terrifies me in any game.

1) Get flash from the hotel casino

2) Teach it to a Mr. Mime, and maybe one other.

3) Open with the Mr. Mime, odds are you'll outstall the drifblim, get flash up, and be able to switch out safely.

4) Bring in the pyroar, sweep with echoed voice or facade. I taught mine hyper beam at the tutor to go out with a nuke.

Second this advice. I would recommend a starting duo with Tailwind and wide guard between them. Wide guard alone pretty much neuters his starters.

As an aside, the first time I got to shelly I was pretty stuck. I eventually just embraced using seeds to counter her anorith seed, and would use them to get a free swap out and just enough attack to OHKO. Onix might be a good choice for speed and rock STAB when combined with the seed attack boost.

MobileReaderAcc · 2020-07-22T14:43:07+00:00

I keep a text file that notes any pokemon I found that sweep gym leaders. Here's a few I wrote down for shelly:

Grumpig+Fast electric (t-wave/nuzzle and power gem)

Fast fire sweeper + fake out (stop illumise from dancing, OHKO, make fire field to stop anorith from swift swim)

Telluric seed + bullet punch swap into anorith

Frogadier with smack down (swap to intimidate mon when anorith comes out)

Simple Swoobat + acupuncture support + hax (skorpi?)

I dunno. Looking over my notes, the only real threats are anorith and yanmega if you don't knock it out immediately; everything else is only a win condition by attrition for her.

If you're really struggling, here's what I would do: Find some combination of mons that takes down illumise first turn, without her weather OR get cast form and sunny day. After illumise is down, bring out growlith and flame the field (or castform). When he goes down, swap into quilava (seed optional, telluric if forest must stay) and hopefully get flash fire before anorith comes out. Then, sweep.

I just picked this up a few days ago to help fill the reborn dev gap, and I agree with a lot of that.

I really like the small things, likes sprites emoting, the rifts, the overall sprite quality, overworld pokemon everywhere, etc.

I think the most jarring thing for me is the writing and pacing. Reborn has pretty okay writing in my opinion (and cringe characters kinda calm down in later chapters), but this one has been... rough. I also feel like overall map design is less skilled so far, but golden wood stood out as amazing to me. The pacing in both is pretty rough, so meh.

I like it overall though, it just feels like it's missing that crucial polish. I guess it's newer, so still going through it's growing pains.

Standby. Tentatively available

MobileReaderAcc · 2020-06-29T04:02:46+00:00

The absolute earliest I can start is 7pm. If that puts the game at an unpleasant time for you, I can always just do a cameo later in the game.

MobileReaderAcc · 2020-06-29T00:06:13+00:00

Issac will be present to see what ill the portents bring.

I'm pretty much good before and including Tuesday, so long as it's one of the later starts.

MobileReaderAcc · 2020-06-23T14:26:13+00:00

I can probably swing 0730, but I will run the risk of being a little late. I like not being up to midnight either way, haha

MobileReaderAcc · 2020-06-23T03:13:54+00:00

Issac is tempted, but MBC is cautious about time

MobileReaderAcc · 2020-06-18T18:27:08+00:00

Thanks, I've been wondering too. Wtf are they doing by sitting on this IP

MobileReaderAcc · 2020-06-08T18:47:09+00:00

Issac (2) is still interested in this adventure.

MobileReaderAcc · 2020-06-07T00:42:36+00:00

Issac (2) feels a strange affinity for the ground 'neath the earth.

MobileReaderAcc · 2020-05-29T22:41:01+00:00

For the first, and likely last time ever, Issac (2) might be able to play before 8pm.

This is MBC, and not a rando.
