EDIT @ 10/19/16: I guess people are still payng attention to this thread. I've updated my team, but not on here. Later today I'll update my team on here to reflect what changed while you all weren't looking.
Hey all, I'm a long time competitive battler but I do appreciate feedback, so I'd like to post my team here and see what you all think. My team is based around my favorite pokemon, Yatagaryu, as a Bulky Offense type team.
@Life orb
Timid, 252SP, 252SA, 4HP
- Dragon pulse
- Thunder
- Focus Blast
- Draco Meteor
@ leftovers
Impish, 248hp, 252SD, 8DF
- Stealth Rock
- Subduction
- Metal Cruncher
- Knock Off
@ Syrentidite
Swift Swim --> Pixilate
Calm, 252 HP, 252 DF, 4 SD
- Hyper Voice
- Calm Mind
- Rest
- Sleep Talk
@ Leftovers
Impish, 252 HP, 252 DF, 4 SD
- Sticky Web
- Heal Order
- Thunder Wave
- U Turn
@ Choice Scarf
Disenchant
Adamant, 252 AT, 252 SP, 4 DF
- Flare Blitz
- Knock Off
- Earthquake
- Infernal Blade
@ Life Orb
Jolly, 252 AT, 252 SP, 4HP
- Taunt
- Shadow Claw
- Drain Punch
- Swords Dance
___________________________
Team Explanation:
First we have Yatagaryu, my favorite pokemon in the game. I'm going with a Wallbreaker set as with Draco Metor, Thunder and Focus Blast with Life Orb it can OHKO nearly the entire game. Its ability is amazing, letting me nix focus sashes and do chip damage, not to mention getting Thunder to 100% accuracy and increasing its power by 50%, allowing my dragon to spam a 247 base power move. This set lets me clear important
Lanthan is another very important pokemon for defensive manuevering. It has maxed special defenses for now to take care of special hits, and the only reason it has an Impish nature is because I messed up. I'll get it Careful when I start a new game, or maybe I'll switch to a physically defensive spread int he future. This one is helpful because it can counter other Yatagaryu and switch in on Thunderstorm. Stealth Rocks because I'm still a Smogonite, Subduction for massive power despite no attack investment, and the math says it'll kill Archilles and Ingflagetah if they try to switch in. Knock off for utility and Metal Cruncher to deal with fairies.
After that is Crocune Mega Syrentide, my primary wincon. Once Yatagaryu and Belliadon have taken care of everything, I'll setup the mermaid and kill everything else with Hyper Voice. Calm Mind + Rest + Sleep Talk makes this mon incredibly hard to take down once its counters have been removed, and since Disenchant Belliadon is the only pokemon who could take a Pixilate Hyper Voice, victory is assured.
Seikamater is next, due to how useful it is. It sets up my other hazard, Sticky Web, allowing for great speed control. Combined with Thunder Wave and I'll be able to setup more often, or take care of primary threats easier. U turn is there to let me switch in and out easily to my sweepers, especially Belliadon, while Heal Order is there to recover HP so Seikamater can keep spamming U turn and Thunder Wave.
After that we have choice scarf Belliadon. This thing has a massive attack, and with that speed control I mentioned earlier, Belliadon has the potential to sweep entire teams if played correctly. Knock Off is obvious for its power and utility, as well as Flare Blitz for immediate and raw power. Earthquake is my coverage choice since the entire meta is practically weak to ground, and Infernal Blade is a strong STAB with no recoil that also can surprise fairies. Disenchant is the ability of choice to allow more switching in.
Finally we have Navighast, whose status is still in question on this team but I think he can work. He has taunt to make him an Anti-lead, as well as Swords Dance in the event of a needed sweep. Shadow Claw and Drain Punch are the STAB moves of choice, since ghost/fighting is great neutral coverage on everything. May replace Shadow Claw with Shadow Sneak. Important is Navighast's Levitate ability, which mitigates my ground weakness.
Changelog:
- GIVE ME HA LUXELONG
- Yatagaryu has a Wallbreaker set
- Crotide
- + Belliadon and Navighast
- At least sticky web Seikamater is a thing
Hypothetical corner:
Replace Navighast with Coatlith?: It also has Levitate, a great typing and ice weakness isn't a problem. Grass stab can help for sweeping and a NP set with Giga Drain, Dragon Pulse, Earth Power would be awesome in theory.

Competitive Guide: Beliaddon
Hey guys, back again to bring you another competitive guide! Presenting: Beliaddon!
![[Image: latest?cb=20160812152051]](http://vignette3.wikia.nocookie.net/pokemon-uranium/images/f/f8/189.png/revision/latest?cb=20160812152051)
BASE STATS
HP: 115 S.ATK: 80
ATK: 145 S.DEF: 90
DEF: 100 SPD: 70
Beliaddon, as a pseudo-legendary pokemon, is quite the curious case. Looking at its stats, this demon packs a mean wallop. Its 145 ATK is enough to send anything scrambling, even with minimal investment, and with 115 HP and 100 DEF, it can certainly take quite the beating before it goes down. Even its S.DEF stat isn’t too terrible to work with. It even has a great movepool to work with those stats, getting its exclusive move Infernal Blade to deal with Fairies, getting Drain Punch for recovery, Earthquake for Yatagaryu, Tracton, and Inflagetah… I could go on.
With such power, this demon lord should surely be ruling the competitive scene… if it were not for one thing: its speed. With a resounding 70 in that stat, this thing is one of the slowest things you’ll find in the game. Given the Choice Band Nucleons and Speed Boost Tractons of the world, that is never a good thing to be! There is also Fafniter to consider, as it also fill the role of a bulky attacker, but is faster, has good offensive typing, and has Fur Coat as an ability, which basically gives it 144 DEF and neutralizing its enemies physical STABs.
Not all is lost for this demon lord, though. While slow as lard, this thing can and will take almost anything beside a Close Combat/Hydro Pump, and then retaliate brutally if built right. It also means that when it comes out on the field, it practically zones the attention of the enemy team, forcing them to react or be put down. Its abilities only add to the dilemma, as they complicate the situation even more. Intimidate is a classic ability, but it is still a good one, as it only undermines attempts to knock it out without switching. In addition to increasing it bulk, it can also cripple strong Physical attacker by switching in, forcing them to either switch and let it set up/predict, and try and fight the burning problem.
Defiant can be quite good if a Petrify pokemon like Mega Arbok switches in on you, as you basically get a free Sword Dance boost. Intimidate is also rendered ineffective, making the Pokémon that rely on it less effective against this hellion. Once (or if) Defog comes into play in the meta, Beliaddon can basically get a free attack boost just for switching in to a hazard cleaner, which is a terrify thought. Give it a speed boost from a Baton Pass or a Choice Scarf, and watch as the opposition folds.
Disenchant allow you to freely switch into fairy attack, and grants you another immunity to work with. Its a bit niche, though, as Beliaddon can take a couple of neutral damage shots from faires like Luxelong and Slyveon, and the pokemon it can reliably counter with this ability have moves that can outright OHKO it if is not invested properly. The ability is still useful, but keep in mind that your sacrificing two other good abilities to run a mediocre one.
In short, Beliaddon is a mighty glacier with the right set-up, taking on threats that would send Fafniter and other dragons packing, and causing trouble just by showing up to the party. Ironic, isn’t it?
MOVESETS
The Devil Comes Down to Tandor (Offensive Tank Set)
Bulk Up/Drain Punch
Crunch/Payback/Knock Off
Infernal Blade/Flare Blitz
Earthquake
Items: Life Orb/Leftovers/Helmet Rocket/Choice Band
Nature: Adamant or Careful
Ability: Intimidate/Defiant
EV’s: 152 ATK, 160 DEF, 192 S.DEF; 252 ATK, 126 Defenses; 252 HP, Remainder EV goes towards preferences (Flare Blitz)
The IVs are quite different than the usual 252/2 deal, but the reason for that is quite simple: shoring up its defenses as much as possible. With its monster 145 ATK, it does not need too much investment in it to bring the pain game, allowing EVs to go into its defenses for added bulk. Besides, where else would the EVs go, its speed? You can run full investment into attack, but I would advise against it. As for the moveset itself, it is simple, but none-of-the-less effective. Bulk Up is the path to even greater power, as you can capitalize on switches to beef up even further, setting it up for the long game. Drain Punch, however, is also perfectly viable, as it deals with Steel and Rock types, while also serving to keep you healthy. Crunch is the reliable STAB, killing Antarki and Dramsama if they decide to switch in, but Payback is also a great option, as is almost certain you will have a 100 power STAB to savage everything with. Alternatively, Knock Off can be used if you want to rob foes of their precious items, if your feeling spiteful. Infernal Blade deals with Mega Metalynx and Fairies alike, as well as Fafniter and Coatlith (especially a Sunny Day set!). Flare Blitz is also another powerful stab is has, as a 120 STAB on this Demon is just monstrous. If you want to run that, though, I recommend fully investing in your HP stat to take the brunt of the recoil. Finally, Earthquake is there to counter the likes of Yatagaryu, Inflagetah, and Tracton. The nature is up to you, as either has benefit depending on team comp or the situation, as is the item.
What Item you want to run depends on what your looking to do with you loyal minion. Life Orb is a classic choice, granting a reasonable amount of power for a 10% recoil on all attacks, which can be mitigated by Drain Punch. Leftover is there to help regenerate its life in between pauses in the action, while Rocky Helmet is there to soften up Physical attacker for an easy kill. Choice Band ramps up the demon's damage to an insane degree, letting it floor almost anything that it can switch into without a Bulk Up. A THKO neutral hit can become a OHKO, and even pokemon resistant to its coverage move will lose a sizable chuck of health. With CB, it can become a pivot, crushing troublesome opposition, then capitalizing on the momentum by switching out to 'mon that can take advantage of the situation.
Overall, this set is extremely flexible, allowing Beliaddon to exploit enemy weakness while fitting in to whatever role a team needs.
The Titinite Demon (Defensive Tank Set)
Bulk Up
Drain Punch
Earthquake/Payback/Infernal Blade
Substitute
Ability: Disenchant/Intimidate
Nature: Impish
Items: Leftovers/Rocky Helmet
EV’s: 252 HP, 252 DEF; 200 HP, 152 ATK, 148 DEF
Given its slow speed, but great DEF, making it a Physical Wall is not such a bad idea. You would want Disenchant to ideally switch in to a Fairy type attacks, or start it as a lead with Intimidate, so that it does not have suffer too much while setting up. The plan is simple: Deploy a Substitute, use Bulk Up and Drain Punch to slowly build up into a Titan, and then sweep with whatever move you choose. Earthquake is probably the smartest choice, what with the Yatagaryus, Inflagetahs, and M-Archilles sprinting around on the field. On the other hand, Infernal Blade can take care of Fairy types like Slyveon trying to switch in, hamper any Metalynxes trying to counter stall you, and make Fafniter and Coatlith seriously reconsider switching in. Payback, though, is a Solid STAB that hits neutral to most things besides Fairies and Fighting types, and a 100 base damage STAB is something that ruins the day of most ‘mons. As for the Nature, Impish would be best, but Relaxed would work too, since you not going to out speeding anyone anytime soon. If you feel that the set is not strong enough to your liking, you can chose to run 152 ATK on it, but you'll lose out on bulk in return...
Infuriating Demon (Anti-Lead Set)
Drain Punch/Stealth Rock
Taunt/Torment
Knock Off/Will-lo-wisp
Infernal Blade/Earthquake
Ability: Intimidate/Defiant
Item: Life Orb
Nature: Adamant
EV’s: 252 ATK, any DEF, HP, or S. DEF
While not as effective as Antarki in that role, it can be one annoying threat that does not seem to ever go away. Drain Punch is there primary for recovery, but it wrecks Rock and Steel type that switch in as well. However, if you don’t have anyone that can run hazards, Stealth Rock can be used instead. Taunt and Torment shut down hazards/ailments and Choice Sets, respectively, which will certainly cull certain pesky Pokémon. Knock Off, while not as strong as Crunch or Payback, does what it describes, potentially ruining entire movesets of enemy teams. Will-lo-wisp can be used cripple Physical Sweepers, such as M-Baariette or M-Drilagann, if you have a burning fear of them. Infernal Blade and Earthquake round off the set, each dealing with respective threats for your team.
One Punch Demon (SubPunch set)
Focus Punch
Substitute
Knock Off
Infernal Blade/Earthquake
Ability: Intimidate/Defiant
Items: Leftovers
Nature: Adamant
EV's: 252 HP and 252 ATK; 252 HP 126 ATK and S.DEF/DEF
Afte a bit of research and some suggestions, I figured a SubPunch set would actually be pretty good for the demon, as it has more than sufficient HP, ATK, and DEF to run it. Basically, you switch into a Physical attacker like Inflagetah or M-Metalynx, use Substitute, then prepare one hell of a Focus Punch to what ever switches in. The Flaw is if they switch into a Ghost type, like M-Sableye or Antarki, your attack is a dud. If they do, though, you can either use Knock Off to kill &/cripple them, or use Infernal Blade to make them regret their decision. Earthquake is certainly an option as well, if you want more coverage against the dreaded Yatagaryus, Inflagetahs, M-Archilles etc. You can also choose to run more Defenses over attack, but this also hampers its power. The choice is up to you, in the end, on what EV you want your general to have.
No One Expects the Speed Demon! (Choice Scarf)
Drain Punch
Payback/Knock Off
Infernal Blade/Flare Blitz
Earthquake
Ability: Defiant/Intimidate
Item: Choice Scarf
Nature: Jolly
EV's: 252 ATK, 252 SPD
An extremely unorthodox set for this normally lead weight, but the best strategies are often the most unexpected, and this set can be a rather unpleasant surprise to opponents. Max Speed investment and a Jolly nature, plus the Scarf, lets you break past the 130 speed bracket, letting it hit things like an un-Scarfed Antarki or Yatagaryu. This can make it a fine revenge killer, as a opponent will not likely expect the normally snail paced demon to suddenly sock it to them before they can react. In addition, if you run Defiant and get hit with a debuff like Intimidate, Corrosive Breath, Petrify etc, suddenly you now have a Beliaddon with 778 ATK and 393 speed. Watch and enjoy as you loyal demonic minion pull the rug out from underneath the enemy team, and sweep away!
OTHER MOVES/ITEMS
Shell Bell: You are going to be doing a LOT of damage, so this might not be a so bad alternative to Leftovers
Expert Belt: If you hate the mechanics of the Life Orb and don't want to deal with the limitation of a Choice Band, this can be a used on the Offensive Tank set instead.
Rocky Helmet: Since you'll be switching into Inflagetahs and alike, having this to whittle them do seems to be a good idea. After all, the more their hurt, the less they will be hurting you!
Flare Blitz: Extremely powerful STAB that will floor almost anything, but 1/3 Recoil is something extremely hard to swallow, given how it will almost always take a hit before it attacks itself.
Stone Edge: Strong, has a higher chance to Crit, and with Hard Stone, proves to be a tough move indeed. Pair it up with Fling to have two 100 power moves at your disposal!
Fling: Can be used with a Burn Orb to deal so damage and guarantee a burn, used with Hard Stone and Stone Edge to have access to an emergency 100 STAB, or just to get rid of a Choice Item if you don't want or need it anymore.
Brick Break: If Reflect/Light Screen is a concern, this will certainly take care of those obstacles
Crunch: Can be used on a Choice Scarf set to try and flitch opponents, but compared to Knock Off, its usefulness diminishes somewhat
Focus Punch: With the Defensive set, it could work, but it’s an unreliable option at best. Best used by itself on the SubPunch set.
Superpower: If you want an even stronger Fighting STAB, then go for it, but it WILL cripple your Beliaddon if your not careful. This is less of a problem on Choice Sets, but the point still stands.
Pursuit: To my knowledge, Beliaddon doesn't get this move at all currently, but if I does in the future, this is certainly a great options, as it can be run on all sets as a way bar maybe the Choice Scarf one to punish switches even harder. Still just a dream at the moment, but a beautiful on none-of-the-less.
Partners
Luxelong is a great partner for Beliaddon, as it can Baton Pass Dragon Dances to it, turning it from slowpoke to living nightmare. Trick Room Pokémon, such Dramsama, can completely turn the tables on the meta, allowing it to be a speed demon for once in its life. Since Water and Fighting types will be a big problem for you, dragons like Coatlith or Dunsereph can back it up, allowing it to work without too much fear. Speaking of Dunsereph, any Pokémon that can paralyze the enemy team will really go a long way to sustaining the flames of passion for this demon. Consider Metalynx as well, since they can deal with Fairies the same way and water types, while Beliaddon can protect it from the dread Inflagetahs.
Counters to Beliaddon
Since almost everything out speeds it on a bad day, any Pokémon that can OHKO it before it sets up will certainly do the trick. Mega Syrentide (unless it does not have a Water STAB), Blubelrog, and Escartress will have a blast dealing with it, while M-Archilles with Earth Power will total it if it has not Maxed out it S.DEF. Winotinger also works as a check against it, but it better watch out for Infernal Blade. Nucleon will of course will ruin it, and Laissure is probably one of its best counters, as its Stealth Rock and Spike void its bulk, and STAB Earthquake/Subduction will send Beliaddon straight back to hell. Yatagaryu can be troublesome too, but it can take it out with an Earthquake if survives a hit, or can predict it switching in.
Summary
While slow, Beliaddon is not to be taken lightly. With the right investment in its Defenses and HP, it can tear common meta-game threats apart, or force switches in your favor. Its learnset it expansive enough to allow it plenty of coverage, which Offensive Tank sets take great advantage of. It also bulky enough to use Substitute to its advantage, and has just enough annoying moves to hamper hazard users, status users, choice sets etc. Unfortunately, it slow speed can and will allow almost any ‘mon to take advantage of it, leading to OHKOs or your team having to deal with whatever the enemy cooked up. Its typing is not the greatest in the world either, and dedicated Special Sweepers can give it a harder time than most. If you take in account all those weakness, though, and build it up and around for a team that synergizes with it, then it can be one of the most fearsome threat to enter the battlefield. Overall, it’s a real demon for those that truly are diabolical.
Next Time: Decision Time! What do you want, Dramsama or Escartress?
EDIT: Never mind, Reevelution has done an Escartress guide, Dramsama is now certain!
EDIT 2: Thanks to the suggestions made by poweroftibarn, I have expanded the guide on Beliaddon, revised the Stats section of the guide, and reworked some of the previous moveset. Kudos!
EDIT 3: Some slight tweeks to the guide, nothing too major. Again, thank you poweroftibarn!

Hello, I am Era, currently a freelance Game Designer and Game Illustrator.
I graduated from a Game Design course just this year in April, and am planning to further my studies in aspects of game design and illustration in the future.
I specialize in, of course, game design, and 2D illustrations. I have experience working with bitmap sprites, though I wouldn't say it's personally my best aspect.
I have preivously breifly toyed with working on a rom hack, including designing fakemon myself, and modifying the rom (Heart Gold) with pre-existing Pokemon Tools. However, I had to drop it due to a lack of interest in assistance and the huge scale of the project to finish on my own.
My other skills include 3D modelling, rigging and animating, video editing and compiling using Adobe Premier Pro, AfterEffects and Media Encoder, traditional freehand drawing, basic computer programming in C++. I am also fluent in Japanese, having worked as a J-E translator, and currently lives in Japan.
I have recently gotten interested in Pokemon Uranium through an impulse to try Pokemon fan-made rom hacks. I am only a casual Pokemon player, and the last game I have preivously owned was Pokemon Sapphire (not the remake) so I'm not that familiar with new Pokemon mechanics such as competitive battling or Pokemon Effects and Mega Evolutions, et cetera.
However, during my run I have played through the reknown hacks of Pokemon Altair, Vega and Procyon, rom hacks known for their high quality in development. I was saddened that Pokemon Procyon was left never completed in 2012, and again felt it was unfortunate that Pokemon Uranium, my current endeavour, would not be continued by its original developers. However, I am happy to find this site and learn that others would be picking up on Pokemon Uranium, and would like to offer my aid in its development.

Pokémon Uranium: A Memoir
(A.K.A. What the heck had been going on with Uranium in September 2016?!)
Hey all, is your resident blabbermouth again! Some of you may already know who I am, some of you may not. In any case, I’m going to tell you my story, no, our story, you’ll be a part of this story after you’re done reading, I’m sure of it! Now I know some of you are impatient and just want the gist, so here a short version of what happened:
- Forum died on Sept.2nd
- Unofficial Fan-server came up on Sept.8th.
- Cody made this forum around the same time.
- We, the Pokemon Uranium Community, have been making various efforts to keep the game alive since then.
- Official statement of JV and Twitch ceasing development came out on Sept.21st.
- Unofficial devs are now official devs, and this unofficial forum is now official forum.
-> Game is DEFINITELY NOT DEAD! Spread the words!
Now, if you're actually not happy with that summary and want to know more in details what happened, read on! But before we begin, those who have been on this journey with me the whole way, or part of the way, this is your chance to chime in in the comment to remember what we’ve been through together. And those who are new and confused about what happened, this is your chance to catch up!
Chapter 1: Uranium, the breedzard known as @Youko, and chatzy.
It was mid-August, and I was on vacation with my family when I read an article about Pokémon Uranium getting released after 9 years of development by JV and Twitch. It’s not the first time I heard of Uranium, I’d heard of it before and I did want to play, but I was busy with college. By the time I look for download links, the official download links were already taken down, but I found the links floating around on the internet soon enough and started playing. I am certainly not the social type, as I focused on game play and didn’t even touch the online features until I reached Tsukinami Village (Eighth Gym). It was then that I registered on Official Forum. But I wasn’t active there at first, I was just lurking around, looking for trade evolve threads to work on my dex.
But then, on a fateful day, I happen to lurk pass kerners’ Give Away thread, and that lead me to Youko’s Give away and her wonderful Guide to breeding. To be perfectly honest, before that day, breeding to me was just putting something into daycare with a Ditto and get an egg after a while. I didn’t care or know what IVs, EVs were, as I was anything but a competitive player, mostly because I play on emulators and you don’t really get online battle and stuff, and any mons can get you through the gameplay. But while I was trading for dex completion, and reading Youko’s Guide, something sparked, and thus I started breeding Dunsparce with a breedject Selene threw on Wonder Trade and some Freebies Youko was giving away.
After 2 days of some success, while lurking around Youko’s and Selene’s thread, I found the link to the chatzy room set up by kerners for the breeders to talk about stuff. To be perfectly honest, I was nervous before entering. But as soon as I entered, I felt at home, mostly because people there were being super weird! Just a few minutes after the introduction and whatnot, Youko got a request for a shiny 6IVs Metalynx, along with 2 other pokes in one post on her Give away thread. She said in the chat, “can I just answer ‘Do you think I’m a wizard?!’”, I jumped at the chance (as people will soon realize I jump at all these chances for jokes and teases) and told her to do it so I could go in with a Hagrid meme. And I did, that’s how the whole (Apparently a Wizard) thing started with Youko.
Chapter 2: Forum went down, chatzy’s limit, and the Move.
I came into chatzy very often after that, occasionally snipe a request or two off Youko’s and Selene’s thread (when they are sleeping and people were asking for something I bred or was breeding). Talking about random stuff with the people online, mostly Suzaku, she’s really around a lot! But September 2nd, Vietnam’s Independent Day, I might add, forum went down.
At first, we all thought it was just another ddos, those have happened quite often before. But after 1 day, then 2, then 3, we suspected something more serious in nature. It was around that time that the chatzy room finally had 10 people online at a time, and when the 11th went online (Potato), he couldn’t get in. Thus we had to look for alternatives…
That was the reason behind the founding of the Breeders Collective Discord. At the time, it was just about finding another chatroom so all the people who hang in chatzy can have a new hangout place. There was just about 15-16 of us back then, and only about one or two channels. But as forum stayed down, we got bored, and while I was finally taking a break from breeding and go train up mons and finish my pokedex, Harbinger and Angan was busy redecorating the server. It was also around this time that we heard about @ReeNormies (L/Unknown Entity) and the unofficial devs’ plans for a fan-server. Channels were added in case forum never returns and we have to run Give Away and trades entirely from the comfort zone of our discord. More and more channels were added as needs change, and the bots were also added. We also prepared to make the server welcoming for new people, even new breeders, with an agreement that we would have roles to separate ourselves from the rest as we have grown to be close as friends and almost family.
Chapter 3: Fan-server, Androziel, and the departure of a friend.
It was on September 8th that we heard about fan-server being out. It was developed by L and some of the folks at Official Uranium Discord. Of course, back then you don’t just patch the game to get online, you had to manually change a line in your hosts file so that game would get redirected to the fan-server. I woke up, came into Discord, and was pleasantly surprised by what was going on. I quickly made the needed change and got online, to find Wonder Trade flooded with high IVs mons and shinies. Yes, guys, that day was what inspired us to bring the idea to @CodySP for the Forum Event on Sept. 24-25th!
I started writing comments advertising the fan-server on Uranium wiki around this time. A lot of people were skeptical, but some tried it anyway. It was a start, and it did feel good that I was doing something, being part of something bigger, a movement of reviving Uranium and spreading words of what was happening.
The Tweet from Twitch came out around this time, it was a vague tweet saying sorry for keeping everyone in the dark and something about the greater good. If you have visited our discord channel, that tweet was the origin story behind our bot command “!gg”, be sure to try it if you ever visit our Discord, mostly my idea, btw.
A few days after that, maybe 1-2 days, @Androziel joined our Discord, and just a day or two after that, we had a vote to let him into the “inner circle”. A few days later, a huge misunderstanding occurred that shook the world as we knew it. Now back then, we haven’t known Andro like we know him now, unofficial dev turned official dev and what not. Back then, he was just a regular guy who knew about coding, much like gayanjX was. So when he came in one day telling us that he just found some cool stuff he could do with the debugger, some of us were confused, some of us didn’t know what it was, some of us didn’t know how to feel, but one of us felt really strongly about that…
That was the day that Suzaku left us. When Andro talked about the debugger, Suzaku felt she was undermined, she felt like it’s hacking and she was mad/disappointed when the rest of us (confused, absentminded and some not really at keyboard) didn’t response in support her that she left the Discord and never returned. After that day, we decided to keep what Andro was doing a secret, as we didn’t want any more misunderstanding with anyone else. Another reason why Suzaku left, which I was originally reluctant to tell, was because she believed there was another hacker in the group, namely @RizlaTokes. Though at the time, we didn't have hard proof/evidence, and the game was having no devs, we just sorta let it slide. After the rule about insta banning hacking/cheating in the discord was finally put forth, Rizla was ban-hammered, and shortly afterward, he was banned from this forum as well, though that is a sad story, to be told at another time. In addition to the fact that I believe the situation could have been handled more peacefully/smoothly than how it was handled...
Chapter 4: Cody’s forum, Breeders Discord grew, and Andro finally coming out.
Around the time of Suzaku’s departure, we also found out about Cody’s forum. Well, Youko did, and then she told the rest of us. But there was a problem registering at first as the automatic email just wouldn’t come, so it took me a day I think before I could successfully register and posted my first post, which is a blatant advertisement for the Breeders Discord. XD
My next post on Cody’s Forum was an ad for Potato’s Tourneys, which are also now held in our Discord server. I do post a thread or two from time to time after that, and you probably have seen them all since I’m all over the places.
That advertisement apparently worked, as more and more people started to flow into our Discord and the server became more and more lively. Cody also joined, along with many other breeders, which lead to the creation of the rules channel and more role tags to separate people. Andro’s work, however, was still being kept a secret from the general public at this point, as at the time, he hadn’t quite proven his abilities to L and was not quite ready to show off anything of the things he was working on.
This is when I started to pile together a post of all the links to the efforts that was made by everyone in the Uranium community and spam that post on wiki, and Facebook wherever relevant. The post can be found here if anyone is interested. I was basically blatantly advertising both the Discord server and Cody’s Forum at this point.
Then one day, good news came in the form of a surprise visit from L. He came into our Discord server, and I alerted Andro of his arrival. Many of you know what happened next, Andro’s work was finally being acknowledged, and he finally came out of the closet as an unofficial dev of Uranium. Days later, Andro released the first patch. And I was once again busy going around wiki and Facebook updating people of the news. Most people on wiki trust me by then, I hope. But regardless, it’s something I felt I should do.
Chapter 5: From then till now
We’re close to the present now (or at least the present when I first wrote this thread), and though I believe that my story, our story is far from over, it is coming close to the unknown area where I cannot tell you much more. With the first patch coming out and more advertisement, more people were drawn in. The community really have regrown a lot after the blow that was official server/forum being taken down.
As of September 21st (22nd for me, but 21st for many of you), after the official announcement of JV and Twitch ceasing updates, we, the Breeders Collective and Forums members, took it upon ourselves to come out and shout throwing every links, spamming everywhere relevant, telling anyone who may be interested that it is not over, that there are still people stepping up, that the Uranium community stands strong, that although the original creators and developers of Uranium can no longer work on it, L and Andro had stepped up, to take over the mantle, the wheel, to drive us all forward, and keep the legacy strong!
As I’m writing this on September 22nd (23rd for me, 22nd for many of you), our Discord server have had even more people joining than before, there are new spriters, new possible translators and a team is growing! The Breeders Discord is no longer just a home for breeders and combatants, it’s now a base of operation for all Uranium fans who wishes to be there to share, to help out, or to chat with the breeders, forum and reddit mods, or the new Uranium team. Don’t expect them to tell you everything though, they’ll hint, but they won’t tell you all they plan… 
A lot have happened since then, all the ups and downs, with @Selene returning and @Androziel's bug fixes (some of which didn't gain him a lot of fans ), Twitch finally explained what happened, and I'm once again here, editing this thread to fix the links @CodySP broke by changing the forum address.
So if you’re here right now, reading this, then know this, you are also part of this story now! You have found this place, you have read this story all the way through, which means you care about Uranium, too! You can be part of this community, of something bigger, if you’re not a part of it already. So join us in the effort to spread the word, retell the story, so that other fans who may not be as lucky as you are would also know that it is not over! Far from it! This is OUR story to tell, and to live!
