I usually just start from the beginning, Jan and the Rejuv team have a tendency to rework a lot of the older content with each new release; so it's always worth doing. As for transferring an old team, not possible outside of Debug (which the Rejuv Team aren't allowing scripts of to be distributed at this time); but even then you'd have to make the team from scratch, so it's probably just worth it to start the whole ride over again.

(I am unsure if this should go here, given it's technically somewhat of an essay/rant type deal; or if it should just be in misc. If it needs to be moved, please do move it; it feels like a grey area where it should go to me.)
Hello, I'm Bearadactyl/Bear; though my real name is Alex. And, I am on the autism spectrum (ASD.)Now, I've had to think pretty long and hard to decide how exactly I should structure/word this post or if I should even make it at all; and I'm hoping that providing anonymous quotes doesn't violate any forum rules, I'm already scared to death that speaking out with this is going to lead to me getting banned or something.
But, after an exchange I had with another person, some things they said really stuck and made me think a bit more than usual. Hence, why I even considered this in the first place.
I want to say first and foremost, this post is not a call out. This post is not meant to guilt anyone. This post is not meant as a means to make anyone feel bad, not meant to be a form of retaliation and most importantly not meant to be an "excuse." And, no identities will be given whatsoever here; the quotes are just needed for my point or context and nothing else. This post's purpose is not to highlight any issue with a particular user in the community.
This post is meant entirely to be some kind of informative, and to spread awareness of something I believe to be an issue. Now, how successful it will be at that; I have no idea.
Now, the particular snippets that stood out to me were:
"You have what you're going to say, and you're just going to say it."
"You suddenly show up without regard for what happens in the place you're talking in."
"In general, it's really irritating."
"The issue is not what you're saying but how and when."
I am not trying to take things out of context, these are just the relevant snippets to what I'm trying to spread awareness of, I know the things said were wholeheartedly of good intention and nothing ill was meant by it at all. And, I bare nothing ill toward the other party here. The importance of these particular snippets should be clear once I get to the informative portion below.
Alright, Neurodivergence can be a lot of things. ADHD, Depression, ASD, Borderline Disorder, etc. This post is going to use ASD predominantly, because that's how I'm Neurodivergent; and I don't want to presume anything about other forms of Neurodivergence.
So, ASD is different for everyone. It ranges from social behavior/social understanding, to speech/language, to the need for rigid routines, to hyper fixations, to having sensory overload or lack of reaction to certain sensory input, to even emotional overload and lack of empathy (though this plays into the social issues as well.) All of these and other factors can lead to varying levels of developmental delays, socially and academically. Also, bare in mind, what I listed is not all inclusive; there are many other specific factors that go into it. Way too many to list here, at least properly.
It will be rare for someone on the spectrum to have the exact same diagnosis as someone else, hence, why it's a spectrum. Some people can be totally autonomous in life, while some might be unable to live independently as a result of their place on the spectrum making every day very difficult to handle alone. You also have people in between, where they are autonomous for the most part, but life is still never the less difficult for them to live.
Using myself as an example, some key parts of my diagnosis are: Atypical thought patterns; difficulty understanding social "rules," patterns, and conventions; difficulty empathizing with others; difficulty expressing emotions and rationalizations; difficulty regulating emotions; hyper fixation; and tendency to take statements or humour literally. However, I am able to be mostly autonomous in society, because I tend to mask; or try and hide a good portion of my autistic behaviours. They're more apparent the more comfortable I am with people or a setting. Though, not everyone who masks will drop their mask. I feel I should mention, masking is incredibly dangerous and detrimental to the mental health of someone; and many will mask online by default because it's sometimes easier to do. Some people you meet online, you may never know are Neurodivergent. Even some that you meet in person.
Now, why is all of this relevant? Well, it's relevant in particular to being online because social conventions are different online. There's no body language to pick up on, it's hard to grasp tone of a situation (even more for some people with ASD,) identifying certain things online is more difficult by default. And, it adds to the struggle Neurodivergent people face; especially those with trouble socializing or recognizing/understanding emotion. There's two different conventions to try and adhere to, and one can be challenging enough on its own. And, that's not even mentioning or discussing the stigma regarding Neurodivergence that's present in society. The pressure to be "normal." This is made even worse for people in other marginalized groups: People of colour, LGBT+ people, etc.
The snippets I posted are relevant, because they are things that some people on the autism spectrum do. Many without realizing it. They can sometimes just open up and let things out. Good example? Maybe they post something they're excited about because it's one of their fixations out of the blue. Maybe they do it during a serious discussion or conversation, whether they didn't notice the situation or maybe they didn't pick up on the tone of it or maybe they were just excited and making the post was all that was on their mind; whatever the reason, they posted it because it was something they were excited about and wanted to share it with others too. Maybe they interrupted a conversation to say something without realizing the intensity of the situation, maybe they interrupted a conversation because they just felt they needed to express something.
Some people on the spectrum may come across as overly blunt, even apathetic due to their difficulty expressing or rationalizing a thought or emotion. Sometimes, it can be the inverse; some people may be exploding with emotion at all times. Maybe at the time, they can only manage to express something in one particular way. Maybe they respond to a situation or something someone said because they don't know how to respond in any other way. Maybe they overlook a joke because they literally don't understand it, maybe they do the same over a sarcastic statement. Maybe they join in on a conversation without context or reading into it because they just want to be a part of something.
There are so many things that someone on the spectrum can say or do without realizing it's a problem. And, a lot of that is ultimately my point. A lot of these things? They're often perceived as a problem of negligence, malice, or just not caring. Which, can lead to everything from harsh judgment, to being scolded, or outright punishment. All while the person may have no idea what they did wrong, or why what they did was problematic in the first place. It might not have even occurred to them at all that this situation is not the time or the place for something. And, that's part of the stigma. The assumption that everyone is Neurotypical, or will respond in a Neurotypical fashion to something.
Now, to bring up the only snippet not really addressed. It is irritating, and I feel I need to express, many people on the spectrum are fully aware that it is. We know the things we do, and even ourselves can be or are irritating; believe me we've been told time and time again. And, it's not something we want to be. I know I try so hard not to be. I hate being an irritation, I hate being a problem to someone, I hate even the idea that I might be an annoyance to any extent. But, what I hate even more? Is the anxiety knowing that I eventually can and will be an irritation or worse to someone. It's always on my mind that at some point I'm going to upset someone unintentionally, along with the constant worry or fear of the consequences of it.
Like right now, I'm trying my best to be informative and to raise some kind of awareness involving Neurodivergent people online. But, I'm worried that I'm doing it in a way that's going to bother someone or unintentionally step out of bounds. I have a literal expectation that I'm going to be punished or scolded in some way over making this post. And, I'm sorry if I have screwed up with it; because this kind of thing is really important to me.
The overall point is I just want these kinds of things being considered to be a norm. I want Neurodivergent people to not have to mask, and to be able to make a misstep without some bad end result. Even if it's just being kinder in response to things, or just considering the fact that they may not be Neurotypical. Walking on eggshells is hard, and some people do it more than others.
I felt that during these times, when the discussion of marginalized people and privilege are so prevalent; that I could bring something else to the table to be considered and looked at. I'm not trying to detract from the discussion of black lives, the LGBT+ community, or any other group; I'm trying to add to it, because Neurodivergent people exist within these groups as well. And, experience everything they do on top of the stigma and issues surrounding their Neurodivergence. I am part of one of these groups, and the last thing I want is to seem like I'm pulling attention away from them.
Now, once again, I want to reiterate: this post is not meant to stir up problems, create drama, shame anyone, or create animosity in any form. I just wanted to post something that adds to a discussion that is extremely important to me as someone on the autism spectrum. This community is really good with these issues overall, and I'm hoping something good can come out of this post.

Erin and a few Bladestar grunts seem to disappear when walking on certain tiles in Darchlight Cave, it doesn't break anything; but it did cause mild panic when I saw it. See the video below for bug demonstration.
-
Shadow Cacnea does not seem to appear in Goldenwood Forest outside of the Intense Difficulty Setting. I'm not entirely sure if this is a bug or not, but given all Pokémon are eventually supposed to be available it seems like a potential oversight.
Further more, the dialogue after the battle with the grunt who owns the Cacnea implies heavily you should have been able to snatch it. -

there's a a few new fights added, some areas got completely overhauled and a few other odds and ends.......... personally i say its well worth going thru again
Alright, sweet, thank you.

So, has enough changed for previous episodes to warrant a complete restart? On a scale of 1-10?
-
Mimikyu's Disguise ability does not properly reset, and Mimikyu seems to be permanently stuck in its "busted" state after the ability is activated. Neither Pokémon Centers or healing items seem to fix the issue.

What is your definition of breaking your wallet? You can definitely find a laptop with better specs than that nowadays for not too much, but a limit would be nice to help you find something. Without any idea of what is breaking your wallet, on of the best laptops I can find; period; at what I'd call a "lower" price range would be this:
https://www.amazon.com/Lenovo-Display-A12-9720P-Bluetooth-Earphone/dp/B0748YG81PIf you need anything cheaper, I would go with the one below.
https://www.amazon.com/Performance-HP-Dual-Core-Processor-Bluetooth/dp/B07BS2B8DY

The terms are used interchangeably, and though there are some brands with better quality; at the end of the day a thumb grip is just a piece of rubber that might be attached to a piece of plastic. I wouldn't buy them in bulk, though, the ones you buy in bulk for a lower price are usually noticeably lower quality from the others. Outside of that there isn't a whole lot of difference minus a few personal preferences like fit or slight durability differences.
Orb is okay if you just want a cheap rubber cover over your control sticks. Kontrol Freek generally have a higher quality and fit on to your control sticks with actual plastic caps with a rubber coating on top, I got a pair of Kontrol Freek CQC grips due to them being low profile and not actual extensions when the grips on my old 360 controller finally shredded. They lasted a couple of years before wearing down. Insten is probably the best brand for lower price rubber covers, though. They're noticeably thicker and fit on more snugly than other brands I've messed with, though again they're all basically just rubber/silicone molds. Insten is the brand I'd go with if you just want to drop around $5-$7 and not much more. -
I'll be rolling with a team of favourites:
Ursaring, Alolan Muk, Beartic, Talonflame, Beheeyem, and Seismitoad.

Honestly there isn't much you can do outside of maybe experimenting with the F1 menu, it's going to be mostly PC dependent; including what you may or may not have running in the background. Even then, in some spots it might not necessarily be your PC; Reborn still needs a bit of optimization work, but that's potentially entirely limited by RPGMaker, it's engine, and Pokémon Essentials; so that's to be expected. I have a pretty good gaming PC, and even it chugs some in particularly dense places.
You could try adjusting Reborn's priority with the Task Manager, that could help. As could adjusting the screen size via the menu. -
There are sprite changers at: Kakori Village, Axis University, and Gearen Lab; at least those are the ones I remember off the top of my head.

my team consists of mawile, infernape, greninja, noivern, gardevoir, nidoking. i trained a metagross, levanny, tyrantrum, chandelure, and amphoross on the side
Noivern could potentially be your strongest asset here, imo, especially if it knows Hurricane; Tyrantrum would probably do well to replace Nidoking for this battle, Ampharos could do some serious damage dependent on what moves it has; Thunder and Thunderbolt can decimate most of his team, if you can get an Ampharos with Electric Terrain it's game over for him entirely. But, I would for sure put Tyrantrum on your team and keep it in reserve for after Skarmory and maybe Dragonite are dealt with. As for Ampharos? I'd swap it out with Infernape for the time being, given Infernape is really only good for dealing with Skarmory overall; and even then that can be iffy.
If you can set up some kind of damaging weather or entry hazard, it will go a long way. Other than that? I'd suggest training up a Talonflame, it's extremely useful with this field as long as it has Gale Wings.Adding on to Azeria's suggestion, maybe swap Mawile for Metagross; and you should be pretty solid.
-
Just now, Azeria said:I was able to change the terrain entirely, because I have a Beheeyem on my team with Psychic Terrain; after that, I set up hail and steamrolled his team save for Pidgeot, which threw me off guard, had to stall it out with Alolan Muk.

Wouldn't that just activate Dragonite's Weakness Policy after it lives thanks to Multiscale+Strong Winds and then just decimate you back with Hurricane?
Aside from that though. Flying types such as Talonflame are your best bet here. The field is both his biggest weapon and his achilles heel. Flying types of your own can literally decimate him.
I managed to one-hit Dragonite, so weakness policy wasn't relevant to the situation in my case. Beartic hits like a tank. Double super effective halved is still super effective, and Dragonite's lackluster defense is still beaten down by Beartic's Attack stat. Even then, with Hail going at the time I could have just switched to my sacrificial Pokémon and let them take a hit if needed; nullifying Multiscale with Hail damage. Lots of ways to go about it.
-
Might help a bit if you post your team, so we can give substitution options and what not. Dragonite should be easy enough given there are a few decent to good Ice Types, I was able to shut it down completely with Slush Rush Beartic. Skarmory is a little trickier, but if you have something that hits with high SP. Atk and is neutral or better to steel it's fairly easy to take down. You'll want to plan for Mega Pidgeot, Hurricane will decimate you if you're not planning for it. It's a matter of shutting the weather down more than anything else once you have counters in place.

You can also just shuffle around and rename some sprites in the graphics folder to replace the V10 versions from their V9 counterparts if you want
Yeah, you can do that too; I actually have a very strong preference for Rejuv's sprites over most, so, I'll actually do a swap and move those over to other games if it's possible. -

In any case I just want my good old girl with red and black hair back and I know debug mode use to have an option to change the model, I just want my gurl back
You can change back to the legacy sprites with the most recent update, you just have to talk to the appearance change lady at Axis High, Kakori Village, Xen Brigade, or Gearen Lab.

Other people got the pendant added, yes, but not by me. Since the person who did it is busy with irl things and I don't know if she will come back to help in this thread anytime soon I figured I would let you know that you won't get the pendant added and why so you can continue playing/restart your game/whatever you wish to do.
It's intended to be missable like that and it doesn't prevent you from progressing/enjoying the game. In my opinion, you shouldn't even be asking for it in this thread.
I only asked for it, because others did in this thread; so in my opinion, something like that should be stated on the front page. Again, not attempting to start anything; but if something like that is going to be okay for one person, it should be totally okay for another. Even if it was another person who granted the change in question.
It's been taken care of, and I have the pendant now. Though, I would like to state: If something like that doesn't need to be asked here, that it be made clear as day on the front page. And, any and all people editing save files should follow the same set of rules and not have something like this left to every individual editing save files' judgment; otherwise you will keep getting situations like this and more and more upset people.
It's either okay for all, or it isn't okay for any. At least, that's how it should be if you want to maintain a consistently tame environment. Without some level of actual guidelines, even in a single thread, you create chaos and misconception. Especially in a forum as large as this one. And, that will only lead to trouble; flame wars; arguing; and other unsavoury issues based entirely on a lack of clear communication.Now, before this topic gets derailed any further; those are my thoughts on the subject, and I hope at the very least they're noted and the problem is seen.

I'm sorry but I won't. It's intended to be a missable item and you aren't locked out of anything neccessary to continue the game.
And, what of the other people in this thread who got it added? Not trying to start anything, but, others here were given the pendant not a week ago.
I will start a new game if I have to, but, I will state I think it's incredibly unfair for other people to ask; and get it; and another to ask and not. There are at least three people on page seven of this forum who were given the pendant. -
So, like many people here; I am locked out of being able to obtain Anju's pendant. Could I please have it placed in my bag?
-
Are you using any mods? If you are, try updating to version 10 without any of them and see if you can start. If you're using older versions of certain mods, they'll just keep reverting you back to version 9 due to the files they replace.
-
So, not game breaking; but when you're in the past and in Amberette Town; you can surf in the grass/on the ground.
You do it by interacting with the tile I am currently facing:
Which, also results in being able to encounter surf-encounter pokémon while surfing around out of water, as seen here:
Pokemon Reborn E19 Hall of Fame - show off your game-winning team! (Now with tier list)
in Reborn City
Posted
Team Beardactyl, a team of five bears and an Aerodactyl. Movesets changed far too often to list entirely, so I will list names; abilities; and their jobs.
Maul - Ursaring: Instead of Guts I opted for Quick Feet and used her more as support toward the end by setting Rain for Beartic or setting sun to kill certain field problems. And, if the opportunity arose, Facade sweeping happened.
Bear - Aerodactyl: My team's Mega Slot, used mostly as support for setting Tailwind and Rocks; otherwise was also very useful for general sweeping and filling my crippling Fighting Weakness.
Munch - Snorlax: Honestly? Curselax.
Violence - Pangoro: Violence was just a general sweeper, didn't do much fancy other than be general coverage and my revenge killer.
Kodiak - Beartic: Typical Rain Sweeper, though I kept ability capsules around to swap to Slush Rush in Hail environments. Also typically kept Dive to get me above water while also using Waterium-Z for the huge damage and field changing.
Cuddles - Bewear: The star of the team, honestly. Assault Vest and Fluffy ensured she was basically immortal, a very bulky force of raw power and not much else.
