    :check: Is your version of Pokemon Reborn up to date?

    • Open your game folder and look for Readme.txt. Near the top, you will see a version number like this:
      9205daa67a32402aa7ebbc1ac5b95838.png
    • The version number in your Readme should match the most up to date version of the game available.
      • The current version is 17.0
      • :redx: -  If your version does not match, please download the latest version, run it, and test if your error still exists.

     

    If you are confident that your game is up to date, please continue to the next step.

    • In unmodded version of the game, test if your error still exists. 
      • :redx: -  If the error does not exist in a clean version of the game, it is a problem with the mod. Please work with the creators of any mods you have installed to investigate the issue.

     

    If your error exists in an unmodified copy of the game, please continue to the next step.

    • There'll be a new URL? Is it not possible to transfer the old domain to the new site?

      it would actually be easier to do so. but that's not our goal right now.

      Is all the content from the old forum be transferred to the new one or is it going to be abandoned?

      it's all coming with us. that is actually why i have to take the forum down-- i'll back up everything here from the moment it's taken down-- and that way nothing gets lost in translation in the meantime

      "What Type Are You? 2.0" on the new website?

      not right away-- but eventually! it is certainly in dire need of an update.

      ----------------------------------------------------------------

      because i am preparing to do this soon, i have jacked-the-hecka-up all stock limits on the few items remaining in the site shop

      please feel free to use whatever $R you have while you can

    • Privileges will still be differntiated, yes.

      Anyway, there is one question that I've kept in mind: So, will donations have anything special behind them since we won't have rupees anymore? I really don't mind helping for the sake of helping, but I know some folks might like something for it~

      Afraid not, no.

      It risks less getting us in trouble that way anyway

      So the exp system is basically just an easier to access version of the old Rep system? so can I give people exp for something I found helpful or will I have to contact a mod?

      I will not say it is easier to access... also the rep system still exists and will contribute to EXP. However as staff we'll also be taking recommendations like "heyo this dude was super helpful to me with X it'd be cool if they got some EXP for it."
      allowing users to do it directly would, as referenced elsewhere, be prime for abuse cases.

      Since the sites being moved, will the old site just have a "Sorry the forums burned down and we're not gonna rebuild it" type joke or just a redirect to the new site?

      If all goes well it'll redirect entirely, so if you go to pokemonreborn.com/forum/, it'll take you to the newurl.com/forum/ and so on.

      how many tables will be used for the new site

      on my part? not many probably! cuz the forum is better than that.

      That can be biased, just like spamposting for rep is. Even worse, it speaks of no evolutions. How will one know they have enough EXP to level up?

      1000 EXP is the threshold and the cap.

      We're placing stricter limits on rep to make it worth more to avoid those spam posting cases too... however there will have to be a bit of subjectivity in the system naturally.

      If it doesn't work out we can always tweak it too.

      I do not have a specific time frame but the update will be before the community release.

    • so what happens to the trainer sprite on our trainer cards? Are the trainer cards being removed or can we replace the trainer sprite with our showdown sprite?

      trainer cards also will not be surviving, so i encourage you all to make the most of that generator while it's still there. if you want to keep the cards in your signature, save them now and then you can put them there like any other image later.

    • I'm back from several months of non presence so....could anyone link me the reborn discord?

      https://discord.gg/beVQ7Dy

      Well this sounds awesome; so will the new site look different, or does it still have the predominantly black colour scheme?

      it's a new theme, but it's still black.

      however another benefit of the upgrade is that it means it will be practical to install entirely different theme selections again like we had in the (distant, eight years ago) past. that probably will not happen right away though.

      This sounds like it'll be pretty. c: But, if sprites are back even after the update without sprite shop, will it just be free sprite stuff?

      it means y'all are left to your own devices for finding sprites. that's the common form of such things in most places though.

      Same question as Dobby was asking, though - do we start from scratch, or will our rep, post count, account details etc be retained & we get exp we already earned?

      Current Aces retain that status. Aside from that, EXP isn't retroactive, so it's only from then on.

      Post count is retained, account details are retained.

      Since rep is going to factor into EXP (and also we're making it a bit more limited than it is currently so people can't just spamspam upvotes), we might be doing a reset of reputation? I can't remember if we made a decision on that or not.

      On topic though, I hope the shoutbox will be preserved, if not improved :)

      The status feed? Definitely still there. I think there's also a separate one that only shows statuses for people you follow? I heard that, but haven't found it yet tbh. Also there is a way to report them now.

    • Can i just ask why moves such as Hyperspace fury or Glaciate, or Steam Eruption are programmed to have effects on the various fields if only legendary pokes get them? Like does that mean we'll get pokemon like Hoopa or Kyruem in the game? Ive always wondered that....

      Metronome. '-'

      On the off chance that someone's Clefairy pulls a steam eruption in the superheated field you better believe they'll be confused why it didnt murder. But if it does? That'll be a moment to remember.

    • i popped into this thread because i was like 'there is no way people are still guessing me trying to get me to appear here'

      and yet here we are

      on this very page

      pls chill

      i dont exist here

      not even now

      but while im here i might as well put in an order for blue moon, since it is the best ice cream flavor and all.

    • I won't go into detail, but I definitely have been doing the same sort of thing. Not with Reborn since the circumstances behind that are different, but with pretty much every playable character in Starlight they're representative of a specific emotional conflict I have or have had.

      Sometimes if I'm like upset or crying or whatever, I'll stop myself and realize... "all right, well, this conflict belongs to X character, how are they going to get over it?" and so I sort of save it away to write into them when the time comes, and then try to jump myself to their conclusion.

    • some more personal thoughts that i didn't necessarily want in the main announcement:

      the hardest part of making this field was the graphics themselves, because it actually went through like five different variations before i settled on the current one, and i just really didn't like the look of any of them... i'd spent like six hours one night, had it finished, it was great, loaded it in game and the orientation was totally off so I had to redo the whole thing and it was just ... all bad from there.

      when i started looking for real gardens for inspiration I found the hanging gardens and was just completely awestruck. seriously, look up the pictures on google, they're absolutely gorgeous. but i'm really excited about that much of it

      in terms of attributes (what i've taken to calling each individual bullet point of a field effect) there was a lot i held back on, cut out, etc. don't remember specifics at this point but whatever. i'm almost certainly going to have to make balance changes to this field until it plays fairly but obviously those changes won't be happening for a while yet.

    • I thought I was being clever with a title like that but actually I'm pretty sure it's going to inspire some sort of pokebestiality slashfic so uhh whoops.

      Anyhow here's a quick note about two changes in forum moderation coming to a website near you. Dark Desire, already moderating the server and Gaming General section, will also be taking over the Victory Road section. Aaaaand everyone's favorite little furry electrodent is newly joining the staff in moderating the Bug Reporting forums!

      which means if you have problems, bug him, not me.

      just kidding, post a topic in the right place like a responsible citizen.

      uh well

      my text editor seems to have glitched and i can't actually get this strikethrough offa me now... so that's good.... but we're going to make this an abrupt end to the announcement

      but thank both of you for your supporting the community!
