Pokémon Reborn - A wgeurts Let's Play

Reborn City-- Black smog and acidic water garnish the crumbling structures along the skyline. City streets fest like alleys with disaster and crime. But the metropolis stands, a decaying blemish on the once-vibrant region.

This world needs a hero.

So Alisae talked me into playing this and then I've decided to make a public let's play out of this like I did with Stellaris. It's been sold to me as a hard Pokémon game with a bunch of new features set in an Emerald-style dystopian world. All in all this sounds pretty cool to me, and the main menu's music sounds amazing so I'm somewhat stoked. The above image sadly has nothing to do with it, I just chose it as it looks cool and fits the theme. Stay tuned!

Episode 1: Drop the Bass


Spoiler:
Image

I've been on this screen for like the last 5 minutes... yes, I do know where the Enter key is. It's the music's fault. Having title screen music this cool should be made illegal honestly. How do you expect people to play your game if they're trapped there because of this:

Spoiler:


Anyhow, without further ado let's... board our train?

Spoiler:
Image


The conductor doesn't know how to do his job properly and leave passengers, who really don't want to be making small-talk during their commute, alone. He comments on how we're yet another to head towards Reborn City, noting that they "sure have been pushing that new League". I mean, do we Pokémon trainers know any better?

As we sink into despair, wishing we'd brought our headphones with us to escape this audible bombardment, something quite extraordinary happens. We're hit by a sudden wave of existential crisis as we realise we have no physical form and no clue as to who we actually are. Conveniently the conductor whips out six tickets, somehow unphased by the peculiar situation we found ourselves in. He shows us the tickets, and as we study each individual one we morph into the person depicted upon it...

It's going to be a long day.

Who should we be?

Not married to it if there are good options I'm missing though.

you should never be married to your team in this game since the game itself really encourages using mons you haven't used before. In my playthroughs I atleast have a few mons in the PC I can swap between if I need to.
- I usually make sure my mons are levels 16-18 at this point. Fennekin evolves at 16, and Hoothoot evolves at 20 (while Hoothoot might not be as useful, Noctowl has base 96 SpD and could probably be used as deathfodder if it can't do anything in battle). Also at 18 Grimer gets Mud Bomb.
- If leveling your team doesn't help, Goldeen with Lightning Rod could help.

Ah, so apparently I need to feel like I'm "overleveling", unlike other pokemon games. I'm used to it being totally fine to be at approximately the same level as a gym leader's team.

you can't overlevel, the game gives you a level cap and if you go over the level cap your pokemon starts to disobey you. This is why common candy is an item. This was demonstrated in a cutscene earlier after you got your starter.
The level cap is fine because its really well paced with the game itself.
I actually think you're really underleveled with everything being at 15, atleast for Julia. And even if you beat Julia with everything at 15, the level cap increases and you'll find out that now you're way MORE behind then you would be if you took the time to level up your mons to like 18 or something pre-julia
Like, you want your mons to be levels 18+ after Julia.
