I don't mean to judge you, by all means play what you like. But since you're new here I think I should tell you what Reborn is about. Yes, Reborn is a hard game. However a part of the difficulty is that powerful pokemons, items and moves are not available until late in the game. Your team has 2 Pseudo-legendaries, a Volcarona and other powerful mons. With these the game won't be as hard as you expect. If you get a well-bred versions of these mons from a trader then there is no longer much of a point in playing a difficult game. These mons are only available late in the game for a good reason and the game is balanced around them not being available sooner. Reborn is about you struggling to beat all the challenges presented to you with what you can discover in the game. In the beginning you will never see a wild mon which is really powerful. This will make you think which mons could be decent for that part of the game and you will have a lot of fun with underappreciated pokemon that you would never even think of using normally (*cough* Kricketune *cough* Meowstic *cough*). Also it will make you search every nook and cranny because you never know where something good might be hidden. Many mons and items are hidden and it's exciting to discover something and think how you can use it effectively. If you have a powerful team from the beginning then you don't need to do this and therefore cut a lot of the excitement out from the game. Another part of the game is the fact that some enemies have very good coverage of their weaknesses thanks to clever combinations of their teams and also field effects (which you can turn against them). So even a good team won't be enough. Unless you have OP mons (that you would not get normally) you are almost certain to need a rotation of more than 6 pokemon to beat this game (I usually use around 10). And sometimes you will scrap an old mon and replace it with something new you just found. My recommendation: - If you want to play a game with your "dream team", play some different game. - If you want to play a difficult game, play Reborn or Rejuvenation (without trading). Still Reborn is not too difficult so in case you want a real challenge you can restrain yourself with additional rules. Personally I play Reborn with these restrictions which makes the game feel just right for me: - Always use Battle Style "Set" (otherwise I feel I have an unfair advantage) - Never use healing items like potions during battle.

I can't remember what difficulty setting is my current savefile on. I think I have used the highest at the begining but I'm not sure if I have lowered it later or not. How can I find out? Also how can I change the difficulty if needed?

Hmm, this looks like an interesting challenge. I wonder what you'll do against higher ranked leaders when most pokes are unly available unevolved. Are you allowed to evolve your mons using stones and/or Rare Candies? Is your game also rigged to not gain EVs or is that allowed? Btw. the battles might be a bit more interesting to watch with attack animations on.

During the story of the new episode there were almost no trainer battles and so my pokemon are hopelessly underleveled when I reached the Gym Leader. Can you recommend me any good place to train? Jan, if you're reading this, add some more trainers along the way, please.

You saved my Decidueye! Thank you!!

Hi, can comeone please fix my Decidueye to know Spirit Shackle and not Steam Eruption? It got broken in V9 and I thought it would go back to normal later but she still knows Steam Eruption even in V10 with the patch. Game.rxdata

With this change people will get themselves trapped in HM blocked areas, won't they?

Wow it's finally out!!! This is the best christmas gift. Thank you!

Entrainment is supposed to fail against a pokemon with Schooling ability so that's correct. Returning to Solo form on low HP should happen though.

Even if it's not a bug it's not a good challenge. It is very unfriendly to some custom runs. I suggest removing it.

Reaching the area where I'm supposed to battle Florin for the Grass-type badge requires Surf and there is no way to switch my team before the battle. That means I'm down to five pokemon because I have to keep Brobarel. Please fix this, together with how underleveled I'm at this point + the fact that Florin has an overleveled Mega the fight is pretty much impossible to win.

In the Kyogre chamber if I go from the left side and not stand right beside Venam while battling with Kyogre then there is a bugged event after the battle. The character keeps running into a wall.

I just beat RorrimB the second time. Now I think I'm supposed to find and fight Crawli but I have no idea where to find him. Rorrim said something about Sheridan but I've no way to go there. Besides he said something about the location being accessible only by a ship and not directly from Sheridan. Where can I continue? EDIT: Never mind. I was supposed to go back to Melia and Venam so we can all go together.

Another thing. When I'm with Marianette looking for the three souls we can leave the mansion. Story-wise I expeced it to be locked? Marianette follows me anywhere so I took her to Sheridan Village. There I talked to her and the game crashed with this: Script 'Interpreter' line 517: NoMethodError occurred. undefined method 'unlock' for nil:NilClass The known bugs mention ' Talking to Maria after saving Luca can sometimes crash the game. ' - it might be the same bug but I'm not sure - I didn't save Luka yet after all.
