BYOND Anime

Gameplay: 4

Just to begin, this game has no sense of RP at all, so why it is called Pokemon RP Reborn..I'm not sure. Well I know its has Reborn in its title because it is based of Pokemon RP, the original. And it has Pokemon because it is a Pokemon game.. Anyways..

Now when you first start, you can choose to be a trainer or Pokemon, so I'm going to highlight both.

1:Trainers. While you would think being a trainer would give you more power over Pokemon, but its not quite what one would think. You start off in the one and only town, but are not given a Pokemon to start with yet. You are told to go catch one in the wild. This is harder than it seems, as all the Pokemon are actual players. To makes things even harder, you are unable to catch Pokemon in the most populated areas of the game. (The Training Dummies and the Pokemon Sanctuary). And then, when you do catch a Pokemon, there is a very low chance they will decide to stay with you.

Since you almost never have any Pokemon, unless you befriend them, then the point of the game as a trainer loses purpose, as there are no gyms or quests you can follow as a trainer.



It is suggested that NPC Pokemon are added for Trainer use, as well as Pokemon Training.

2.Pokemon
Pokemon definately are the preferred choice among the players of the game. You are given options to choose among a list of pokemon you want to be, which includes some rares. You then start in the Pokemon Sanctuary, a Pokemon only area. From there, it seems the point of the game is to level as much as possible. To level, you either can beat other Pokemon (and get in trouble for mass playerkilling), or use the Training Dummies.



They get crowded easily. Through the wide range of Pokemon in the game however, there is a large range of attacks which are either physical(meaning you must be beside the target), or a projectile like attack(Fire Blast, Water Gun). The attacks are a bit disappointing.

Altogether, the gameplay had potential to be amazing, but the game remains somewhat "unfinished". I played about 2 years ago, and 3/4 the four areas that were suppose to be completed remain inaccessible. Yes the game has become popular, but I don't think thats a reason to stop production.

Some nice functions that have been added over time though include the targeting system, which allows for easy targeting for attacking. Another would be the Battle System, which initiates when two trainers go one on one, or when a trainer comes upon a pokemon in the grass. It is very unique compared to other BYOND games.

Presentation: 4
The game uses Gold/Silver Graphics for the most part, but Pokemon Mystery Dungeon Pokemon Graphics. Proportionality, they don't work well together, and the Gold/Silver graphics could have been update long ago to Generation III or IV graphics. The attacks are disappointing, much like other Pokemon games on BYOND, and do not have any graphics designated for them, just saying "[Attacker] has used [attack] on [Target] for [randnum] damage."

As for sound, there is none at all.

However, mapping is well done, there are no map glitches as far as I know of.

Originality: 3
Its a pokemon game, which isn't really original...

It is also based off of another BYOND game that had lost it's source. However, they did begin from scratch.

As already noted, the Battle System is original.

Overall: 4
It is a good game on BYOND, and well liked. However, like I have said, it is far from Perfect and needs a lot of work. Some Suggestions:

Add:
-Pokemon NPCS
-more Pokemon
-More objectives for trainers
-an Easier way of getting money
