>>46812595This was an announcement put out on the forums on December 2010.
https://www.rebornevo.com/forums/topic/465-to-the-staff-and-members-2/>The former Poison Gym Leader of the Reborn League, Corey as he was known, has passed away. The older regulars of this site, probably know the implications of this. Our Flying Leader, Heather, was his daughter. She currently lives with the Ice Leader, Blake. Sounds like a soap opera? Yes. But this progression of events of their characters was suggested as based off of Reality.So.. a guy and his daughter were both Pokemon players, and happened to be taking part in the same league? And now the daughter's off with another player? It is very unclear how much of this is real and how much RP. More absurd is the claim that 'Corey' did not in fact know how to play competitive Pokemon, and asked to join because he found out his estranged daughter was here and wanted to join up to reconnect with her. Pic related, and apparently he was a poor player who had to be coached by Ame.

An exact date is even given for Corey's death along with the claim this all happened in reality, in this interview dating all the way back to 2012.
https://youtu.be/eQYcN0uMsj4?t=840Other interesting timestamps include 2:14 'WE came up with Shelly's character', implying that the RPers doesn't get to come up with their own character on their own. 5:08 references Amaria being one of her best friends IRL, 10:00 references that only people that have beaten the bullshit league can offer balance suggestions to the game.
