Having only really played the main story of the games, and even then skipping a couple of generations, what makes you say Nintendo cares about doubles only?

Among fans, Singles is the premiere battle style

Among actual official tournaments it's doubles

All of their official tournaments for the past decade or so have been Doubles format. Singles format isn't even a thing in that environment.

This phrase is so quintessentially Radomus.

Not only does it define the way that he's written, but it feels exactly the kind of voice Radomus should have had, given a capable writer. That kind of paradoxical fabricated malapropism conveys nothing, yet everything; jumbled nonsense that's somehow still makes perfect sense in context.

Who even is the champion anyway when Ame(game) is loving dead.

Edit: Oh right, I forgot that we went through this discussion before? Anyway, my bet is Radomus because obviously he brainwashed everyone into thinking he's a gym leader, and the obvious twist that Lin is the champion (because she's the best at everything she does or something?) is really obvious.

From several pages back, but my bet on the champion is Ame's dead body being used like a puppet by the Creepypasta Gymleader. It's dumb enough to fit.

The Regular Pokemon thread in games will happily accept all competetive talk since there's not much to talk about Sword and Shield yet.

I wonder if there's any interest in a general Pokémon romhack/fangame thread? Or if it could jus slot into the main thread as said above.

The reason for the level 200 cap is so we can get booted back there and have to go through the entire game again with bigger numbers, allowing Reborn to be drawn out by another 19 episodes.

And in indie (fan) game tradition, said golden ending will consist of telling us that the best ending was in fact, to not play pokemon reborn.

With the decent number of pokemon fangames that are being/have been LPed, I certainly have developed some opinions and questions/ideas that it wouldn't be bad to have a place to talk about and be on topic.

That only applies to games with some degree of self awareness and understanding of humour.

Instead of none of the antagonists telling you loving anything, they tell you waaay more than you ever wanted to know about them as soon as they make eye contact with you? :v:

I'd say "That's never humorous at all." It's not funny to say "Why'd you waste your time?" when the purpose of games is to fill time and get some enjoyment out of it. It's showing a dislike/hatred of the player, and that is NEVER the mindset you should have when making things for others to enjoy.

What would be worse, your actions bringing about the end of everything in Reborn, or your actions being what starts the cycle anew?

Its restarting the cycle. The answer is clearly everything happening over and over and over and...

The end. No moral.

Eh, it's wordy and has a kinda dumb plot, but at least mechanically it's pretty sound, which puts it leagues above Reborn in terms of acually being a game.

It's me, I'm the guy who likes Golden Sun.

Golden Sun is bland, full of filler, tedious and overly wordy sometimes (all the time), but at least it never had people's real life deaths as part of it's story, whilst actively mocking them as well.

Compared to Reborn Golden, which lets you go on hot spring dates with your pokemon to unlock hidden abilities, and adds content involving a hip new emo babe that's secretly the discarded remnants of goodness that the Jirachi doll excised from itself to achieve perfection.

Wait, no, who am I kidding, that could only ever improve the game that idea's too good and pure to screw up as badly as everything else has in Reborn.
