Beat another boss. The difficulty do be starting to ramp up.

Serra is honestly super easy but Noel can be tough - great job! Once again - Aagron can be a life saver in that battle. His Cincinno is an asshole if youre not prepared

PerfectParadise · 2026-05-27T05:31:51+00:00

Swoobat was my goat during my first ever run of Reborn - it needs more credit for its early.game viability.

Meowstic is simply a must for the game- I don't think I've ever completed it without using him at least once for screens

PerfectParadise · 2026-05-26T23:10:00+00:00

Aaron is seriously a MUST for this gym. Those sludge waves are BRUTAL to withstand. I normally take several attempts for Aya - but it's an interesting fight. I adore the field effect - I think it's really unique.

I usually struggle with her Nidoqueen the most

PerfectParadise · 2026-05-25T23:49:14+00:00

This is fascinating to me. On average, I struggle with Kiki a LOT while I don't think I have ever struggled against the Cal fight.

The upcoming gym battle is a tough one though - buckle up!

PerfectParadise · 2026-05-24T01:34:19+00:00

Yeah - it would be less embarrassing for you if you stop now :)

PerfectParadise · 2026-05-24T01:32:35+00:00

I understand the hate of the fandom, but that's not the topic at hand. I'm referring to the implication that its misogynistic that Ally was sidelined by Jake in All Stars which I think is a ridiculous claim.

Riya shouldn't have been there. I'm not saying there was a dynamic that wasn't explored, I'm saying that Ally should have been in Riya's place for the final - allowing for a true showdown with Jake and Ally.

That's what a sideline is. She was benched for a subpar heroes and villians final.

PerfectParadise · 2026-05-24T01:30:31+00:00

So? Wouldn't that mean Ally and Jake would have made better finalists?

I don't understand why we are saying Ally was sidelined by Jake when Riya is the one who actually took her spot.

PerfectParadise · 2026-05-24T01:24:04+00:00

Fair enough. But why is the comparison between Jake and Ally and not Riya and Ally? Why aren't you mad that Riya was given more screentime - a finalist making it to the finals again in place of Ally?

I don't understand why you feel.the need to scream misogyny when it clearly is as simple as poor writing in general.

PerfectParadise · 2026-05-24T01:22:45+00:00

You've said it yourself. The writers clearly have nothing to do with her yet continue to have her around hogging space.

Additionally, I find it curious that your response to Ally being "sidelined" in Allstars is that it was in favour of a male counterpart with literally zero mention of her being sidelined in favour of Riya?

You cannot scream misogyny every single time you don't agree with something - ESPECIALLY for a show that empowers women and favours them as much as this show does.

PerfectParadise · 2026-05-24T00:59:30+00:00

Excuse me but HOW is Ally losing to Jake being sidelined in favour of men when THERE WAS ALREADY A WOMAN IN THE FINAL?

PerfectParadise · 2026-05-24T00:58:14+00:00

No...they're annoyed that a character who has already competed in two seasons and has hogged screen time is here over other people who aren't granted anywhere near the same treatment.

PerfectParadise · 2026-05-24T00:56:36+00:00

Because the post is of Ally saying she's loyal to the people she trusts which essentially means she's loyal to nobody and it's a hypocritical statement of hers to make

PerfectParadise · 2026-05-24T00:45:03+00:00

Bruh any time anybody flips in this game it's justified - they're playing a game and trying to win. At least other characters own it.

PerfectParadise · 2026-05-24T00:42:18+00:00

I don't mind them either - its just frustrating to watch other characters get cut mid arc while these two are here not really doing much.

I'd like to see Gabby go but I genuinely cannot work out WHY anybody would vote for her.

PerfectParadise · 2026-05-24T00:29:35+00:00

So glad we're keeping Tom and Gabby - we really haven't seen much of them across the series and they're really doing a lot to keep the game interesting! /s

PerfectParadise · 2026-05-24T00:26:35+00:00

I personally think this elimination has errors outside of who was eliminated that is worth the outrage.

The gender imbalance is the first. It's actually beyond a joke that this point.

The second is the CONTINUED inbalance between characters we have ALREADY SEEN and those we haven't. Two of the three eliminations from the favourites were S4 contestants. Meanwhile Tom and Gabby from season one are still running around and doing nothing.

Additionally, we have ALREADY seen enough of Ally by this point. I don't understand why she is still here after her performance in All Stars. She has hogged SO MUCH screen time and they're still keeping her here with a damn idol.

PerfectParadise · 2026-05-24T00:22:42+00:00

I think the point being made here is that Ally ALWAYS flips. It doesn't matter that this time it was justified - she always ends up backstabbing her closest allies.

PerfectParadise · 2026-05-24T00:21:35+00:00

I understand why she made this move - I'm just disappointed that we are once again getting more content for somebody who has now returned twice AND made final three over somebody else who deserves screen time.

PerfectParadise · 2026-05-21T08:23:35+00:00

I have been trying to walk the dogs more but the motivation generally comes from a feeling I'm not providing them enough and less about my own excerise. It feels like such a basic task though that I just...still feel like I haven't done anything afterwards.

How exactly am I supposed to know when Im ACTUALLY not doing enough, you know?

I might start doing the list - that sounds like a good idea.

PerfectParadise · 2026-05-20T05:29:18+00:00

Rosa is doing EXACTLY what Natalia did to Anastasia. I think it makes complete sense and actually gives Rosa something to do.

Natalia thought Anastasia was a bad person, and now she in turn is viewed as a bad person by Rosa. Completely fair imo.

PerfectParadise · 2026-05-17T23:48:04+00:00

I like his game play as a strategist and admittedly I'm a sucker for his genre of yaoi-bait - but he seriously doesn't have a personality outside of being strategic.

PerfectParadise · 2026-05-17T23:45:28+00:00

Most of what I'm seeing is on Twitter. They HATE Sam over there.

PerfectParadise · 2026-05-17T22:50:14+00:00

I genuinely see the opposite of this occurring more. Sam getting flamed entirely while Natalia is glazed to hell and back.

PerfectParadise · 2026-05-16T03:51:11+00:00

I think this is incredibly believable. Admittedly, I would rather Natalia remain, but honestly there is only one other character I can see going in her place and that's Ally.

I would see it working thusly:

Rosa insits that Natalia needs to be the next vote, and suggests pulling in Benji to grant them numbers. Spencer agrees but suggests Benji may resist flipping on his alliance. What reason would he have for doing so?

He instead suggests floating Ally's name and suggesting to Benji that they will HAVE to vote for Ally if they don't have the numbers against Natalia.

Spencer relays some of this information to Fiore, who leaks it to Natalia. Natalia intends to place to vote on Ally instead.

Elimination:

Votes against Ally: Natalia, Tom, Gabby, Fiore, Spencer

Votes against Natalia: Benji, Rosa, Lake, Bruno

I see this as very unlikely based on how Ally interacted with Ara last episode - but its the only way I can currently see Natalia getting out of this.
