just as a disclaimer, this is an early build of MKXP we're trying out and we still don't know what kind of issues this could create in the long term. if it ends up hella breaking shit there is a chance this may not fully happen, but as of now it's looking pretty promising. just don't take this as a guarantee quite yet.

Hearing Redux won't get fit into hard mode because of canon teams is... rather ironic, since you devs, however otherwise amazing, did in fact change the teams for Gen 7 mons, making them overall less fun. Specifically Aster and Eclipse. I miss, dearly miss, their Elekid and Magby. That was a highlight fighting those two up until their final stages. And pretty much all of the teams of E16, frankly.
And with all the work Commander's done... not that I know anything of programming to deserve a word I type be minded for two seconds, but wouldn't that mean he's basically handing more or less completed team changes already?
I think there's a difference between changing teams to account for a new generation of Pokemon being available vs teams changing based on a setting in game in the same release... Heck, a better example would be teams changing between versions without a new generation. I'm not above retcons, but when leaders change teams between modes I feel like that much more transparently becomes about the gameplay rather than a selection of the leaders' choice in Pokemon. And yes, characters already use more than 6 mons througout the game as is, that's true. But given that we're not necessarily lacking options to increase the difficulty of fights without changing species, doing so and losing one the most significant, consistent aspects of the experience across playthroughs would be a needless casualty.
That said, I think you're also conflating issues with the gen 7 updates. While I'm sure it's not the case for everyone-- trainers needed to get gen 7 Pokemon. And the Aster and Eclipse fight, for instance, needed to be nerfed. Those things could have happened individually, but it was a necessity in both cases. Even now that fight is still a difficulty spike for average/new players. I hear you in your saying you miss that challenge though and-- great. We'll have you covered. Frankly us not using Redux seems like it should be a win for you since then you just get to pick and choose which flavor of bonus difficulty you want.

So are the change stricly limited to what you said on the post or can we expect other minor changes ?
it is limited to what we said, since we are basically just ripping specific things out of e19 and shoving them backwards into e18. we were limited in what could be properly tested without a full cycle.
10 hours ago, Santiago said:I haven't tested for a long time, since it's been out for small time, but i do want to ask something. Does Earthquake have an animation now?
Btw, that Aurora Veil animation is GORGEOUS, i always have an A-Ninetales in my team, and it's nice seeing that animation. Keep up the good work!
it just might!
and credit for the wonderful aurora veil goes to @VulpesDraconis !7 hours ago, MetrololAce said:Very cool! Didn't expect to get such a gift from you guys!
Is there a list somewhere with all the changed animations?
I'd love to check out the new ones directly!this is not a proper list and will also contain ones with very minor imperceptible fixes, but it will give you a rough idea:

This is everything I could ever ask for. Will there be a way to activate Passwords like easyhms mid game?
normally? no. however, it will be easy to do with debug mode.

Hm, that's quite a bit so the lengthy wait is understandable. Can't rush the game along, after all. Though if it's a question that can be answered, is there a possibility of seeing the byxbysion wasteland get the restoration treatment?
No plans for that, since it is stated that goal for restoration would be within the next couple years in-game time... I.e not within game's playable scope.
However, there is one individual who was making a mod and afaik plans to continue it after e19 so you can do just that

Good job! A quick question, since Gen VII (I think) you can get experience when you capture a wild mon so is that feature not going to be implemented in Reborn? It's perfectly fine if it doesn't nonetheless.
We've chosen not to implement this because of the level cap-- it could be detrimental for some players especially in the early game where the cap is a bit tight.
On 3/10/2018 at 12:20 PM, DreamblitzX said:This is a good update.
Speaking of Boxes, is there any plans to add more box management tools? things like the orange multi-move cursor or selecting a group of boxes and applying sorts to them
also good luck continuing to make these silly pixel people less dumb
We've got a couple QoL improvements slated for the final release but it's on the basis of if we happen to have time to implement them after everything else is done.

Also I was wondering, will there ever be trainers with legendary pokemon to battle? Nothing ubers, just ou stuff and below. That way maybe more stronger pokemon could be introduced like Ash greninja. Again thanks for all your hard work.
no plans for such. i wouldn't want normal trainers to have legends anyway, cheapens their rarity
On 1/24/2018 at 7:57 AM, Thiazzi said:"the first main area of E17 will take a bit of time on the other mapper's parts again"
Now I'm curious what the first main area of E17 was... The desert I guess? Does that mean that the desert will be redone?
so that was definitely meant to say first area of E18, whoops.
but for 17 it was desert, yeah.
like fuck are we re-doing that, no wayOn 1/25/2018 at 12:41 PM, BushyTheBushSpirit said:no rush or pressure or anything, but do you plan on releasing the USUM sprites when they're done, like you did with the SuMo sprites? I'm anxious to see the new shinies, but that can obviously wait
if anything i'd probably just post them here or something cuz so few

With regards to the intro, have you considered updating it a la Sun and Moon, so that instead of asking you your gender (which, even with the three options, could potentially lead to awkward places) it asks you what you look like, displaying all six character models and allowing you to choose between them all at once? Just a thought.
that's pretty much exactly what happened yepyep

you could just start a new game and not save! i'll also be uploading a video
On 7/20/2017 at 8:41 AM, Masquerain said:Upon reading the new tidbit in the progress bar about dead computer... Well I hope the mapping doesnt need redoing at least..else, poor Ame
it doesn't! fortunately. thank god. that was cloud-hosted, so it's all okay. the only things i lost were like graphics i hadn't put in to use yet.

Isn't it weird that bi-weekly can mean twice per week or once every two weeks?
it's confusing but we can fix this! bi- = every two X. semi- = twice per x. bam bam done.
On 7/6/2017 at 9:57 PM, Commander said:>New intro
It's official. Ame really is trying to make me go off the deep end with this Gen VII and all those seeds. But honestly, Reborn's desert can't be worse than Gen VI. But alas we shall wait until then to see what you have in store for us.
Hopefully before December this time.idk how you've been merging updates but this is (more or less) confined to three maps or so so it shouldn't be too bad for you

OrJustUse vI,NobodyWillNotice
This is a question that have been lingering in my head for quite some time ago...
What about the Terrain Extender? Will it replace the Amplifield Rock? or viceversa?The Amplifiled Rock is a lot more thematic than Terrain Extender, and also more useful since it applies to Gravity + TR, so we'll be keeping it.

Well first thank you at the new members for their effort.
While I do love the idea of (bi-)weekly updates. My question is how are you going to present them? I mean Develoment blog has limmitted space on the front page and if you keep creating new posts you will push out content quite quickly (I know they are in records but it is not that intuitive in my opinion) , keep them in one thread and you might get the situation where your posts drown in the member's post situation like the episode threads.
The older development content should still be there at least for the people who want to read it but I don't think pushing out old things is so bad. Most people coming here will be looking to see the latest updates every time, and older development will be less and less relevant as time passes.

if there's a correct answer, i don't know it

just to be clear about what a 'branched story' implies, it is not anything terribly dramatic like what some of these comments imply. a lot of parts of the game have had branched stories, for instance with regards to who gets kidnapped at tanzan, etc. manage your expectations accordingly.

That's awesome but I hope to play sun and moon before ep 17 comes out also when are more fake legendaries are coming? I want a larvaitar pretty please? Those sprites are cool too.
maybe soon.
maybe not.
who knows?9 hours ago, Farnsworth said:This is very exciting! The three sprites shown are already looking gorgeous (especially that Ninetales), and apparently already 1/4 of them were done. Ame continues surprising us with her amazing work. Thank you Ame and the team for your continued effort in making Reborn the best possible game.
Also, I wonder if a few of the leaders teams will be updated with gen VII pokemon?
thank you for the praise~ actually it's closer to 1/3rd that are done but the spriting % also factors in the need for shiny spriting and egg sprites after those.
