Imperial

I remember I was at school, trying not to sleep during some boring macroeconomy class, when I saw a guy in front of me playing a pokemon game I didn't recongnize. I had stopped playing pokemon years ago, but it still bugged me, so I asked which game it was. I've been waiting Pokemon Reborn ever since, for eight years. All along I advertised it any chance I got (I got half my classmates playing it during class at some point), even supported it on patreon when I still had a job. Because for me it simply was the best pokemon game ever. Far above official games. And maybe the best game I played even outside pokemon. That was before E19. Somehow, the final version managed to be way, way better than E18. I don't even know how to say how impressed I am. But all those years of waiting were definitely worth it. And beyond the game itself, it's also what brought me back to pokemon, and gave me a big common interest with my 17-years-younger sister. She's too young (and bad at English) to play Reborn, but still yesterday we spent hours making new decks with the cars she got for her birthday. So thanks for that too PS: I just did the Celebi quest. It's nice to see I'm not the only one who can't stand dolls getting hurt

Right after the glass factory I started talking to people around Calcenon. I talked to Serra near Radomus and the twins then she moved to the house. I talked to her again and she was in a conversation with Shelly, except Shelly wasn't in the house. I haven't talked to her yet and she's still outside. I'm running version 19.0.3

I just had the bug. When you come back, the rock is still there but you can't move it. But the event still proceeds as if the rock had fallen

Is it me or are we already breaking the record of most people online ? I could swear it was at 799 just minutes ago, now it's at 840. I wonder how high we'll get when the game is released

I've been following this game for 8 years, since E11. Hard to believe it's been this long. As for my team, instead of playing along with the different fields of the elite 4, I think I'll just use my favorite core team in Reborn: Serperior/Ninetales/Typhlosion. Set a grassy field, burn it down with drought Ninetales, then annihilate the opposing team with insanely boosted Eruption from Typhlosion

In my experience, the core Serperior/Ninetales/Typhlosion can get you through everything First contrary Serperior sets Grassy Terrain, nullifying the enemy's advantage. Then keep attacking with Leaf Storm, or switch to Drought Ninetales and use Heat Wave to set the field ablaze, giving your fire moves an insane boost. When Ninetales falls, send Flash Fire Typhlosion to use Eruption. After one turn in the fire you get an extra boost from flash fire. With that team you can OHKO even fire resistant pokemons. Tested on Amaria, I even let Serperior die on purpose to test the fire and Typhlosion wiped her out To complete that core you can add an extra fire type, preferably physical, alolan Ninetales as a lead for Aurora Veil and something else for type coverage

Gen 1 : Ninetales Gen 2 : Typhlosion Gen 3 : Blaziken/Gardevoir Gen 4 : Infernape Gen 5 : Serperior Gen 6 : Aegislash Gen 7 : Alolan Ninetales Gen 8 : Zacian

I'd go for contrary Snivy. It kinda sucks early on, but when you can get leaf storm and grassy terrain, around lvl 40 so not very late in Reborn, it becomes OP. With its very high speed, it can change the annoying field of the leader into a grassy terrain that will boost your Serperior. Then you can spam leaf storm and destroy even grass resistant pokemon, or switch to another pokemon that will transform the field into a corrupted or burning one. My favorite strategy in Reborn is to set the grassy terrain with Serperior, switch to a drought Ninetales that sets the field ablaze with heat wave, then throw in a flash fire Typhlosion with a 759 base power eruption to wipe out the enemy. Not even Amaria could resist that.

The nature can affect speed too. A speed boosting nature for vikavolt, a speed lowering nature for your luxray and you're outsped. There's also the possibility that vikavolt is holding a choice scarf. If your trouble is speed, maybe you can use the leavanny you get early on to set up a sticky web

It reminds me of my first run. When trapped in the nuzleaf cage in rhodochrine jungle, I refused to beg Fern, and didn't know Chatot would come and free me after a minute, so I used an escape rope and freed myself. And nothing wrong happened. In your case, the trigger to activate the next part of the story is most likely defeating Taka, to avoid multiplying switches, so it should do nothing. And in case it prevents you from going any further, you can just go back and activate the cutscene.

Usually I'd say character, game then author, but this is a tricky case. Reborn's gym leaders are based on roleplay characters from an online league. With such a characteristic quote, it's likely that Ame herself can't take credit for it

Have you tried reverting to a previous save ? I can't tell you where the save files are on mac, but if the bug comes from something you did in the game maybe it can unblock you

I'm keeping old episodes for history. I have episodes from 9 to 15, tell me which ones you want and I'll upload it. And if someone has 16 and 17, I'd like to get them, I lost them when my previous computer was stolen

The best is Blaziken, no surprise here. And for me Serperior comes second. Even if it learns Leaf Storm rather late (though in Rejuv lvl 60 is more the middle of the game), it's the fastest user of Grassy Terrain that allows you to change a gym leader's annoying field. Greninja would be great in another game, but in Rejuvenation you don't get the good TM it need until very late. And for the others, maybe you should chech which ones are available later and when. Bulbasaur for instance can be obtained around lvl 40 if I remember correctly.

I know Nintendo usually hits finished fan games, but here if you come for Reborn you can hardly ignore Rejuvenation. But I just wanted to raise that concern, if you're aware of this I'm sure you'll find a solution.
