Pokemon ReBurst Idea?; A look into the possibility of a burst warrior class.

This is one of those times when my status as a self-proclaimed Pokemon Professor comes in handy. I love figuring this kinda stuff out! =)

Just really quick, I'm going to list everything we know for sure about Burst Hearts, Burst Warriors, and Bursting as according to the manga. Feel free to skip the summary.

Our main difficulty here is that we don't know enough about the Burst Hearts themselves. As far as I am aware, we've never seen an Empty Burst Heart, we don't know what they are made of, and we don't know how and when the Pokemon got in there. For all we know, Burst Hearts exist naturally, and Pokemon stumble into them by fate.

Here's how I want to suggest it: keep them being found by chance, either as owned by another person, maybe found in some ruins or in the middle of a forest, but already containing a Pokemon. This is faithful to the manga, gives the item some mystery, and yet it still makes sense. Consider it a rare item, sort of like Master Balls. We don't need to give it an explanation, because an explanation doesn't exist.

I would also like to give another suggestion: In addition to the stats gained by Pokemon Level, perhaps the Burst Mode Pokemon can also gain a stat point by Trainer level. The stat can be placed in any Pokemon stat except for HP, and the stats are applied when the trainer successfully Bursts for the first time. It gives Bursters a potential overwhelming advantage in battle, but seeing as how they're screwed if they get KO'd and they can't switch Pokemon or use items on their person while in Burst Mode, I see it as a fair trade. Sort of a "Last Resort" if you get my drift.

I put this is spoiler tags just in case people didnt want a spoiler.

The reason above is why I think we still should have the ability to make B-Hearts. I do think making one should either be very costly or extremely hard to do. I still think this can be a mysterious method still but we should have other options besides just hoping to find them.


On the whole gain a trainer stat point thing, I think we could have something that kinda like Breeder's Natural Progression but for the Burst Heart Pokemon.

Did that really happen? I guess I haven't gotten that far in the story yet. Where are you finding these chapters?

I can only find the translated up to Chapter 6. I primarily been looking at the Raws and reading summaries about each chapter.

I feel like this could really go somewhere. The class has things to tweak out, but as I'm reading I've seen a few solutions to the many problems.
I also would like to add that NPC's that have bursted with certain pokemon could possibly be seen as occult leaders, maybe a soulless shedinja god thing? I don't know.

It'd be cool to see someone with a ditto burst, maybe some great thief or something, some always in disguise. The abilities we could add are endless. Burst with a ghost pokemon, then maybe you can communicate with the afterlife. Burst with a time travelling legendary, then maybe the character could time travel.

These could all be used and limited by the gm of course, maybe some even used to create an interesting character for the story.
