Quickly overtook Pokemon White and Pokemon Conquest in being a fav Pokemon game. Gives you so many options and so many opportunities to try new things, especially for me, someone who had competitive pokemon. Reborn is geared towards high-level play, but with a couple easy mode options enabled I found it perfect for my experience. I hate how easy basic Pokemon games are, and I hate playing Pokemon Showdown, and this ended up sinking right in between both of those in difficulty level.

That isn't even to mention the incredible plot, too! Aside from like- a handful of eyerolling interactions, this is incredibly well-written and makes it's eccentricities rlly fun to engage with. Imagine all the god awful shit you'd expect from something that's an "edgy, mature Pokemon game". Now imagine that shit actually written well. It's genuinely a shock any of it 'works' as well as it does! Stuff like murder, divorces, and animal abuse, which should in any other case come off like an awful attempt at edgelord-ism, actually turns out rather emotionally engaging. I got pretty emotional at points, even! How fucking wild is that!?

And that isn't even touching the post-game stuff. Supposedly, it's gonna be a tough time. I'm so excited to try it soon! For now, I'll remain just the Reborn City champion. Finished the game with Rotten (Skuntank), DIsh (Klinklang), Meals (Aggron), Chicken Parm (Galvantula), Breakfast (Walrein), and Eggshell (Kricketune).
