W-lcome.

We've been wait-ng.

This epi-ode's art is bro-ght to you by Sleppu~

The us-al shindig:

Quote

- The community release is not considered a stable release. Play this at your own risk. If you're not willing to accept some fugly bugglies, the public release will be available for everyone after we've fixed some more up~

- If you plan on replaying from the beginning or have chosen squirtle as your starter, there are currently some patches available! Those starting from the beginning will want this script and those who like squirtle will want this map. Just drop them into the game's data folder and replace the old files.

- There is a spoiler lock in effect for this release from today until September 9th! If that seems like a long time, it's because it will cover both the Community and Public releases.

This means, please keep discussion of the new episode in topics and channels specifically marked for it!

Please be especially careful with your statuses and topic titles, as many people will see those whether they want to or not!

Let's pretend Amaria is E18's leader. With topic titles, instead of posting a topic called "Help beating Amaria!" instead post one titled "Help beating E18's leader!"

- If you're the kind of player who digs through the game code to see all the new stuff-- that's okay, but please do not post your findings from that! Many players enjoy working together to explore new content together and posting it outright can take that experience away from a lot of players. Please be courteous!

Bel-w is the l-st of not-ble chang-s (-ield Effect ch-nges will b- in -h- Re-dme)--

Spoiler

* USUM Content has been added.
* The AI overhaul has been completed, with some rare details missing.
* Two new window/menu skins have been added.
* Gen 7 Pokemon that can learn TMX moves through other means may now also learn those moves through the TMX.
* USUM Move Tutors have been added.
* Eggs may now be picked up even when the party is full.
* Pokemon may be sent directly from the party to the PC when a new Pokemon is caught, as in SuMo
* In accordance with canon games, the arbitrary 10% stat boost awarded by completing gyms has been removed
* Pokemon can no longer begin disobeying due to over-levelling during a battle
* Headbutt Tree encounter chances have been increased and standardized.
* The Pokemon Psychiatrist has been updated. His service now costs three Heart Scales but the Nature can be chosen.
* Follower movement has been updated.

[removed for public release~]

- In order to enable Rock Climb from an existing save file, players should head to the multi-pool area of Amaria's gym. Stepping in and out will be enough to fix it!

It is normal that you don't have the TMX yet; don't worry.

- In order to begin E18's story, you will need to head to Calcenon City~

-nj-y!

This thread is for the collection of Minor Errors in E18. If you think you have a Minor Error, run down this quick list:

Quote

- Does a message have improper grammar/spacing/capitalization/spelling? This is a minor error!

- Does a message have an quickly-jumping line break that makes it hard to read? This is a Line Break error... which we can now consider minor!

- Can you walk where you shouldn't be able to? Can you not walk where you should be able to... and it's not a Kecleon? This is a minor error!

- Is a tile out of place? This is a minor error!

- Is a character on the overworld facing the wrong direction when speaking? This is a minor error!

- Anything else is probably NOT a minor error.

If you do indeed have a minor error, please post it here. Keep the following in mind as you do:

Quote

- Full screenshots are strongly preferred, even for text errors.

- If your error is from a TV program, please mention which program it was and how many badges you have.

Thank you for taking the time to help keep us clean and organized!

In a city like Reborn... crime never sleeps. And so can't we.

It was a one of those summer nights when the sun set and forgot to take its swelter on with it. We was stewin' in the Main st office and the boys was all pinchin' their bridges tryna stamp out the stench of squalor that wafted up to badger us as if we coulda done something about it. I was consultin' the local desk fan when this broad strolls up to my desk, slams a fistful of documents down onto it, and looks me dead in the eyes.

She says, "We need a lifetime warning point cap on Reborn."

I look up. Her eyes is something fierce. Heavy. The lady means business. I didn't wanna give her none.

I roll my cigar 'tween my finger tips and let dip into the ashtray.

And you know what I said?

I said

That's the dumbest thing I ever heard.

But nowadays, I look back on that night, when I couldn't tell which was stuffier-- the air or that dame. And I think,
Damn, Reborn could really use a lifetime warning point cap.

--

This is another post about the community's health and discipline. If that's not interesting to you, skip to the end for the TL;DR.

When I talk about a "Lifetime warning point cap," what I mean is a significant change from the current warning/consequence system where warnings can count to a ban no matter how old they are.

Right now, a user gets banned from the community if they reach 10 Warning Points at once. This has been a staple since the system was introduced. However, as any of you who have gotten a warning probably know, warning points fall off after a certain amount of time. This was a part of the system that was designed to let those users who would learn from their past mistakes and warnings fully recover from them provided they were on good behavior for such and such time.

While this is a very forgiving system and I stand by its benefits, the truth is that unfortunately not every user is responsive to change or guidance, and the current warning structure is pretty notably inefficient at dealing with those cases. For people who's behavior does not improve, we tend to see one of two things happening:

The user acquires some warning points but then leaves for an extended period of time on their own, coming back months later after the points have expired only to repeat the same thing
The user hits the 7 WP threshold where they are mute and post-moderated for an extended period of time, but this inability to publicly comment prevents them from ever acquiring the last few points it would take for them to get banned, meaning the behavior repeats once the mute time (and thereby previous points) wear off.

That second point in particular means that in most situations, unless a user is either a dickwad in DMs, or does enough dickly things in a short enough period of time that they jump straight from 6-10, it's almost theoretically impossible for a user to be banned under the current system. Indeed, the number of users who have ever reached 10 points to be banned can probably be counted on one's fingers.

We've been going back and forth on the point of what to do about the effective inability to ban users for some time now. It's not that we have any particular desire to go off banning folks, but being able to do so at least in practical theory is a useful tool for us to keep the community tidy and kind. One of the solutions we have continually arrived at has been a rule that if a person acquires a certain number of points, expired or not, throughout their lifetime on Reborn, then they could be banned. This would mean that even if somebody is away or muted for long enough that all of their points fall off, we would still have a way to hold them accountable.
For a long time I, and some others were against this kind of system because it put those who made positive changes to their behavior in some kind of jeopardy, or otherwise discouraged making those changes. However, after updating to a more stringent mute policy earlier this year, I've been really encouraged by the positive effects I've seen in the community following them, and I wanted to take action to make sure that these positive changes could last.

So, the change is basically this:

Whereas a user currently needs 10 active warning points to be banned, in the future a user will need to have gotten 10 non-etiquette warning points at any time in their account's history in order to be banned.

Now I'll talk about that "non-etiquette" distinction. Most of the warnings we give out are just etiquette violations. That includes stuff like double posting, posting in the wrong section, off-topic posting, etc. This is normal keep-the-forum-organized stuff that most people, especially those not used to forums, sometimes forget. We aren't tryna hammer anyone for those, and we're also not trying to be too heavy-handed as a community.

So, effective as of this post, all normal etiquette warnings have been changed to 0 points*. Further, past and future etiquette warnings will not contribute to the lifetime cap.

In other words, you can't get banned for double posting or whatever.

* The repeat offense variations, for after someone has already been asked to mind their posts and questions, do still have a 1 point value attached to it as previous. This means you can still get muted if you continue to do things like bump threads a lot or post irrelevant things in topics. However, even the repeat offense warnings don't contribute to the lifetime cap-- that is solely for temporary consequences.

In other words, the only things that will contribute to the lifetime cap are things that fall in the realm of actually disrespecting others others or compromising the site's integrity as a community. For a full list of which warnings count as etiquette or otherwise, please see this updated warning list thread.

For those of you with pasts more rocky than you might prefer, you might be wondering if you'll suddenly be banned because of how many warnings you have in the past. The answer is a solid no. This lifetime warning policy is manually considered, and we will only consider the total lifetime volume of warnings when an individual acquires a new non-etiquette warning point (also effective after this post.)
This means that even if you have like, 83 old expired points right now, if you never get another one, then you're fine.
please don't get another one.

In the end, this change is only likely to expect a small handful of users, but I hope that it enables us to keep this a friendly and welcoming community far into the future.

--

TL;DR:

Users are now banned when reaching 10 lifetime non-etiquette warning points instead of 10 current warning points
Etiquette warnings have been disarmed to 0 points
No accounts will be considered for bans regardless of how many points they have, until another warning is received after this post.

Thanks for listening. I always hope everyone can stay around for a long time and enjoy the site!

good shit, the search function was... mediocre before, I hope it actually does what it's supposed to now :c

Edit: i think it still doesn't pick up archived threads, though. Any chance this can ever be changed, or are those gawn from the search for good?

not sure-- that might be core functionality but i'll fish around in case there's an option to check

Whats UP LADIES 🧘‍♀️ GENTZ 🤼‍♂️ AND EXTRATERRESTRIAL ALIENS we have EMOJIS on the forum now

and if you dont think that i'm gonna spam these emojis at every chance i get then honey you've got a big storm comin'

let's have a run down of the new features on the orum--

moji 4ever
the search feature has been upgraded to not suck like before! i haven't fully explored the details yet but see for yourselves!
reports can now be automatically hidden band together to defeat those nasty bots !!!
but a brand new invisible captcha should make it so there's even fewer of those bots than ever before in the first place :ok_hand:
announcements can now be dismissed at any time with a single click tell me to shut up
apparently only 75 emoji are allowed in a post. i suppose i have been told to shut up. that's no fun. i'll see if i can fix that later.
the forums have a new option to filter by tags. i don't really know why we didn't have this in the first place, but, you know, now we do.
member cover photos can now be clicked on to see the full image
twitch.tv now has embed support

okay! please emote responsibly and enjoy the new update! hopefully some other things are looking more stable as well, but only time can tell~ :clock12: :open_mouth: :rolling_on_the_floor_laughing:

you know what time it is, ladies, gents, and meat-fanatics of non-discriminate identity.... it's time to rainbow-rise up and meat your destiny!

i know updates on reborn have been a little scarce lately... and now you know why! just like the past two years i've been hard at work with the team behind the past two legendary titles, with other star players from the development of Pokemon Rejuvenation, Insurgence, Uranium, Phoenix Rising, Ethereal Gates, Azurite and even more!-- and with our powers combined we're here to deliver the singular best experience to you that you can possibly imagine!

so! after many hard months of work, POKEMON MEAT 3 is finally available! veteran players of pokemon fangames classics will not want to miss this epic conclusion in the epic meat trilogy. rainbows and moats are nothing compared to what's in store for you this time! after all, meat is just one small shift away from meta!

this new adventure is sure to get your heart poudning.......

oh, and make no mistake.

reba is best girl.<3

as always Pokemon Meat is made with RMXP and Pokemon Essentials, with a special meaty credit to Maruno, Poccil, Fl...

...

...huh? meaty credit? that doesn't even make sense...

wait?

why am i advertising a meat game?/

i-i'm vegetarian...

i've been vegetarian for like... ten years

w-what have i been doing.....?

....did i really agree, all those years ago to taint myself in meat?????

it was supposed to be rising rainbow............. it was supposed҉ ͏t́o̕ b̀e risi̶ng rainbow................................. where......

Wow. I FEEL LIKE I MENTIONED SOMETHING LIKE THIS LONG AGO. Not like @Amethyst would remember though.

They'll only apply as new warnings come in.

January 29, 2018

So, older users may be familiar with our warning and punishment system. For a refresher, here's what that looked like previously:

Quote

1 WP: The user is no longer eligible for Voice (an Ace Member-applicable server status).

2 WPs: The user loses Voice status, if they currently have it.

3 WPs: The user loses Ace status and is no longer eligible to buy it.

5 WPs: The user is put on a 30-day post preview.

7 WPs: The user is locked on the server until they fall below 7 points.

10 WPs: The user is banned from the server and forum.

Perhaps you see the inherent problem already-- most of these are still geared towards Showdown and Ace Membership, which have respectively fallen out of use and fallen out of existence.

Therefore, effective as of the post, we have decided to update the warning point thresholds and consequences. The new list is as follows:

Quote

   1WP: The user may no longer request clubs

   3WP: The user receives a week long moderator approval on forums, and a week long mute on discord

   5WP: The user is unverified on discord and loses ownership of any clubs they have

   7WP: The user is muted and on moderator approval until their point threshold reaches 0

   10WP: The user is banned from the community

These may seem quite a bit stricter, but it is worth noting that very few users ever get to even 3 warning points at a time even on the old system, so it is not likely to affect many people. In addition, we haven't been satisfied with some of the persistent negativity that has lingered in the community lately, and it is our hope that these changes will enable us to address those problems much more quickly and efficiently.

In addition to this, we are also cutting the Advertising warning penalty from 4 points to 1. Previously that warning was intended to handle not only spambots, but users who would advertise other showdown servers on our own. Since showdown is no longer such a concern and that doesn't tend to happen on Discord, we no longer need such a steep toll on this warning, and will just handle spambots separately. This warning then becomes reserved for any users who links to a site with intent to require the user to pay, register or subscribe to their services, such as other forums, twitch streams, etc.

In order to post these links users should check in with and get approval from a staff member first. That approval should be given to any user who shows a genuine intention or effort to contribute positively to the community, which in most cases means it will be allowed without much question. Checking in still important though.

okay that's it for icky business and discipline stuff. please all have a nice day~

gosh that took a while!!! not just the episode-- that was almost a three month testing period! way too long!! but that's to be expected after some of the changes we've made. we've torn out most of the old AI and rebuilt it, although there's still a lot to do. gen 7 has been intravenously injected into the entire game, oh, and there's a giant fluffing desert now.

but we here.

we out here releasin' shit.

Below is the list of notable changes (Field Effect changes will be in the Readme)!

Spoiler

All Gen 7 Pokemon, forms, moves, items and abilities have been added.
Field Effects have been updated for Generation 7. A full changelist is in the Readme.
- Psychic Terrain has been added to the game.
Z-Moves have been added to the game
The Mail pocket in the bag has been repurposed for Z-Crystals and Mega Stones.
- There may be some inconsistencies with those items on existing save files.
As Hyper Potions have been canonically reduced to 120 HP, Ultra Potions have been changed to 200 HP instead.
An option to map custom controls has been added to the Options menu.
Max boxes have been expanded to 50 for new save files and save files starting E17 contennt.
A Furfrou groomer has been added to the Glamazonia salon
Weather has been corrected
Separate BGM/SE volume settings have been added to the Options menu

Hello and welcome back to the Ultimate Pokemon Popularity Poll!

Have you ever wondered what the defini...
I feel like I have written this before.

Anyway, because the forum decided to be an unbearable thingamajigger and not let me create working polls with 999 options despite offering the possibility to create polls with 999 options, instead cutting off after 489 options (or 490 options if you don't care about multiple choice!!!), we'll have to split our Popularity Poll into different topics.

Like I said before, the only thing you shouldn't do is vote for Budew. Especially not in this topic.

And again, let's party!

Hello and welcome to the Ultimate Pokemon Popularity Poll!

Have you ever wondered what the definitive most popular Pokemon is out of all the existing ones?? Or if there's a Pokemon that just nobody likes at all??
Because I sure did and so I decided to do this ridiculous thing on a whim.

Further, to merge this in with the party, the winning Pokemon will be selected as the prize of one of the party lottery events! Although this poll will be left open afterwards for posterity, we will take whatever Pokemon is in the lead spot at the time of lottery... so vote fast, and vote furiously!

This poll is anything-goes! Vote for one Pokemon you like, or vote for all of them!
The only thing you shouldn't do is vote for Budew.

Let's party!

It's true that I get busy but I also did choose to get the club system going so I want to make sure everything is running properly.

I've moved the Ralts thread mentioned in the other place now-- which other threads do you mean didn't get moved?

...when you sent the links through the contact form they all got jammed together... i mean, look at this garbage

so that's why i was worried one would slip through the cracks-- although i don't even see the ralts thread in there directly looking for it... so maybe it had cut some off?

December 7, 2017

moved the topics as requested... at least i think i got them all? ping me if i missed one!

Little question concerning clubs : when we want to create a club we have to wait for a moderator to valid them. Are they receiving a notification when a new club is added or do we have to send them a message ?

That's what the application is for!

We used to have a list for every name an account has used. Can't we implement something similar here?

That still exists, but I don't think it's good to make people check a list everytime they want to see who's talking too.

W8 wasn't this 30 days?

..Did I really abuse it that much that you had to make it longer?

For aces it was, yes. This was a case where I decided it might be better to keep it longer, because with that many more people having access to it, it becomes difficult to know who anyone is when it's so frequent.

So I compromised on 45.

Hi! If you've got an error where an opponent isn't or wasn't moving, we definitely want to know! This kind of thing is usually caused by typos in the AI, which are unavoidable. All we gotta do is find them. Unfortunately the AI script is ~~25k~~ 40k lines long and counting so that's sometimes difficult! In Alpha and Beta we used a debuglog to help track it down, but for general play we can't really do that because it's messier than your baby brother after that time he learned to paint with all the colors of the refrigerator.

So, since we consider these inaction problems a Battle Error, we'd like you to make a topic for it. When you make it topic please give us EVERYTHING. Thanks!

Everything can include

Is it Singles/Doubles?
What Pokemon are on the field
What Field Effect is active
What trainer you're facing
Your Pokemon's abilities and moves you've used
What moves were used left?
Any field conditions like screens, hazards, weather, etc
What happened in the rounds leading up to it?
Screenshots are also super helpful!

Together we can prevent trainers all over Reborn from falling into effective panic attacks and not understanding how to function at even a basic level. Thank you!

hi there, i'm ame from the overwatch team and welcome to the december community update. this month, we're deleting the entire forum:

Speakeasy? gone.
Nightclub? deleted
EXP system? toast. ...actually i'm pretty sure that deleted itself months ago against anyone's will... which makes me pretty salty about the plug-in i bought for it, but you know... whatever.
Ace Members? dead.
- just kidding they're veterans now
Veterans? anihiliated.
- double just kidding the veterans are fine and in fact they have a lot more permissions than before
Clubs? all traces of them removed
- actually they're now fully available so you can make your own clubs and stuff
  - if you're a veteran or higher anyway
- there are four kinds: public, open, closed and private. the first three are visible; private is not
- there's rules to making clubs and stuff so administrators will need to approve them but we'll talk about those rules in a different topic soon
- but tl;dr you need a president a vice president and at least three other members. like a japanese high school.
  - because you wouldn't be on this forum if you weren't at least a little bit of a weeb.
    - and even if you aren't, i'm a level 89 dark weeb.
  - or it can be a private club. those are free reign.

gosh, overwatch has gotten weird, hasn't it?

with the removal of the EXP system, there's no longer any reason for us to limit rep/reactions so harshly. therefore all groups have had daily reputation limits significantly expanded.
Reactions per Day per Group:

Members: 3 => 10
Veterans: 4 => 30
Supporters: 4 => 30
Developers: 10 => 30
Staff: 10 => Unlimited

Since the ace members have joined the veterans group, the veterans group has received ace's permissions wherever possible to make sure that those former aces are losing as little as possible. That includes a lot of trivial things, but some of the notable expansions include:

Tinted name color
Display name changes ever: ~~60 days~~ => 45 days
Increased attachment/cover photo/profile picture size
PM storage: ~~200~~ => 300
Can create clubs
Can view who reacted to posts
Attachment space: ~~3mb~~ => 5mb
Can close own polls
Can edit posts silently
Can hide and lock/unlock own content

I will also pre-emptively say that all of these changes are benefits I would like to be able to maintain but if these things begin to cause problems (such as if we suddenly are running out of upload space, or if hiding content gets out of hand, etc) then we will make whatever changes necessary.

If you had access to the Nightclub forum before, you should have received an invitation to the new Nightclub... club... ... uhm, we'll work on the name. If you were missed and did not receive an invitation, please accost me vigorously until you do.

Additionally, due to recent site errors (you know the ones. i know you do) we now have a new theme! ...We thought the old theme was causing our problems, but apparently that's not the case. So... that just means we have two themes now!!! You can switch between them at the bottom through the drop down menu that says "Theme". Note that on our new default theme, Brave, you can use this button...

...to switch the accent color on the forum.
No points for guessing what the color options are.

As for the errors themselves... no promises on them being fixed yet. But we're getting there. We might be there. Too soon to say. In the mean time, please be satisfied by this pretty theme.
please.
pls......

and i mean, i guess there's the community release too.
if you're, you know, into that.

Ame is probably receiving a lot of messages asking her when ep will came out and i understand it can be annoying at the end.

I do get asked that frequently, and it's possible that I have griped about it in the past. But at this point, it doesn't really phase me at all because like I said in the post I understand that those people-- even the ones who do come off as rude directly to me (not that that's a good thing)-- are just excited to play it too.

Even now my tag line on the development blog isn't because I'm annoyed, I'm just poking fun at the fact that I don't know either.

So nobody needs to console or defend me here on this ^^
Just like Ikaru said, try to be helpful to those people. That is absolutely the best thing I could ask.

That said it has become abundantly clear to me that I need a better way to demonstrate progress and what's going on during testing. It's difficult because there aren't necessarily goals in terms of time or number of fixes... Right now I'm thinking of some kind of "rules are made up and points dont matter" score system. I may give that a try with community.

It was funny for a while.

But that was a while ago.

This really isn't just about -that- question though. It's about a lot of questions that newcomers tend to show up and ask. They're just wee littles. They didn't know we had an FAQ for the game. They didn't know someone asked the same damn question in the discord chat two hours ago, and they didn't know that was a known bug. Cuz honestly, who's gonna scroll through walls of text and topics if you just want a quick answer so you can keep playing your gosh-darned pocketmans?

I'm not saying that it's ideal for users to not look through pre-existing topics, or that we shouldn't encourage them to use pre-existing resources..... but not everyone is going to think to do that in the first place. And so, for those times when someone does end up asking a common or should-be-obvious question, I'd like to ask you all, as veteran/senior/senpai members of the site, a favor:

Please be patient with others.

It very well may be the seventh person today to show up asking if Mega Evolution is in the game yet. I understand that after so many times of seeing that question, it gets frustrating. It's like how have you managed to not see the answer to this yet when someone probably just said it half an hour ago and also eight times yesterday?? ...But is it really that person's fault? It may be obvious to you but for someone who just found the game two hours ago and has been having fun but was curious and just wants to ask a hopefully-friendly community for a quick answer (and they might even be a bit nervous about speaking up at all)-- getting a snappy reply back can feel really bad. In fact, it can be the difference between them fucking right off, or hey, maybe they like it here and end up being someone who sticks around to help other newcomers too.

Whenever I talk about this, I'm reminded of a certain comic. Many of you are probably intimately familiar with it:

And if you haven't seen it before, then I guess you're one of-- oh. nevermind. I won't go for the low-hanging fruit.

But that's just things that everyone knows-- let alone things no one knows (including me!!) like when is episode 17 going to be out.

And when someone is asking something like that, it's usually not out of impatience so much as it is a genuine excitement or curiosity. It's something people can look forward to.

After hearing that question so much as regulars around the site, I totally get how it would become grating over a while.

But you know what?
I've been doing this-- answering those kinds of questions-- a lot longer and a lot more than most of you.
And if I can still be patient with those people-- and I can-- then you can too.

I would love to lead by example in that regard, and I hope that some of you have seen that when I can, I do. But I definitely can't always be there. I can't always be paying to the chat or all the forum topics-- There's just not enough time, and even more limiting, I only have so much energy to spend towards such things as well.
...Which is also exactly why I need everyone else to step up.

And also? I get it-- maybe you don't have the energy to type out a pleasant response to the same question for the 100th time total. It happens. In that case... rather than typing something passive aggressive or that makes you sound annoyed with another person, just-- don't. That's preferable. It's like that old platitude-- if you don't have anything nice to say......... let someone else say it instead.

But let's make sure that, whatever we say, we can be proud of it as a community.

It would really mean a lot to me to see people come together on this more.

Thanks for listening.
