Commander

You don't know how lucky you are that Cacnea got KO'd so easily. Literally that thing is the bane of my existence when it sets up triple spikes due to bad luck. Anyways, I know Cradily is so anticlimatic. It has its old moveset, but we've all been at it so long it seems easy and we know what to expect. As for the thundershock, iirc, that's what Pulse Tangrowth used to have. Pulse Pokemon can have irregular moves, but I didn't want to make it T-bolt because that'd be insanely OP for that fight. And...it had Boomburst? Well...that must've been fun. Just an FYI, rescue all the cops if you want to face the harder Corey as there are two completely different teams.

How did I get into this mess? A boy, dressed as if came from school thought as the bitter cold whipped his face. It all happened so fast. Running into the forest, the giants, the portal, and most of all the bitter cold. He would've thought it'd all been a dream if it weren't for the accursed weather. He was ready to move forward when he noticed the small plaque on the ground. A grind could be seen across his face as he read those words ever so carefully. "Now this is a game suited for a thief such as myself." He gave a quick tug to his backpack making sure it was secured before dashing ahead. While running straight into danger was risky, it was better than freezing to death in this spot. Trust no one...it is a good life lesson. Even those who are close will betray you in the end.

Alright, I'll finally get to posting sometime this afternoon. Let's just say that I had to handle some situations that would make Stratos's explosion on K_H look like acts of friendships. On the bright side, I have a deeper appreciation for our RPers now. Less drama and more interesting arguments.

Practice makes perfect, my friend. I'm not an artist, but I'm decent enough at spriting that I can draw something up. For episode 1 before I stepped down from writing the storyline, we only needed a handful of trainer sprites which are not too hard to create. Now I can't say what they need as it's possible it changed.

._. Dammit, I keep getting the abilities mixed up. Eh, abilities are just a bunch of numbers so sometimes I goof up a bit. Will fix for the E16 version of Hardcore. I can already see many resets for the upcoming fight about to happen. (evil laughs).

Even Reborn's Hardcore mod isn't as difficult as Rejuvenation's intense mode. But I'd say Reborn has the better story while Rejuvenation has far superior gameplay. Both are exceptional games, but I do prefer Reborn a bit more due to the story. You'll get a blast out of either one you start with.

I'll try to post but these next few days are likely to be rough due to the Revolution project. If you couldn't tell, I am more or less the one writing the story for it. There's a small war going with a certain user where he wants this to be a group project, but I want to do it more or less myself and get someone to peer review sections when they're finished in order to gain more free time. Likely though, I'm probably just going to end up leaving. Enough Commander drama, Evan is going to be an interesting character to try to play, but we'll see what I can do. The powers aren't strong, but there's so much that can be done with them. So much.

Many leaders can be hard the first time around as you're unprepared for them. Difficulty really depends on the teams. Corey and Kiki are the two leaders I struggled with the most, but that doesn't mean they need to be nerfed. Honestly speaking, I think Ciel is fine as she is, but most of us are well experienced at this point which is why we think she's easy (she's not too bad imo). I'll admit Ciel surprised me a bit with the Altaria the first time, but her overall team wasn't OP and pretty much fit Reborn standards. Even in the Beta we all agreed Ciel needed a buff which Skarmory was replaced with Archeops. And honestly, this is the first time it's really come up that Ciel was too hard, but there's been like 100 people saying she's too easy and needs buffed. It's probably just you and not the game in this case.

While it could be changed, I intentionally kept Reborn's same save file system so that it could be interchanged from the official one in order for manipulation (such as wanting a lucky egg/exp share on your official game very early). This probably will only change when Reborn is officially complete since everything has to be reworked almost from scratch with each release. This is an example of a tortoise and the hare situation. I don't know if Jamak tested any or all of the things he implemented like I did to make sure they work. Everything in the version I made worked (or was a known bug to Episode 15) except for this weird trainer thing which I had to fix. I have a feeling that Jamak may have mistyped the trainer script causing this error and unfortunately I can't fix it since I don't have his version. The rest of the game should be playable though as I tested everything in the main story and fixed 99% of the errors I found (as I keep forgetting about Chibi Gengar).

This is almost as bad as Chibi Gengar (you'd have to get really far into the Hardcore Mod to understand that joke). I don't really know if that can be fixed other than reversing the Mightyena sprite without screwing up some other sprite.

Somehow I misread my character as being a famous chef instead of thief (I blame the name Baker for making me hungry). I just read my character and let's just say this'll be good. Yeah...it might not be a good idea for me to post tonight. Seriously, for some odd reason, I was thinking Stratos was Kenny. The only time that'd ever happen is if Huk was in a trolling mood.

That was for Gen VI mechanics which I've even considered asking if the Revolution team could use the coding that fixed certain moves broken in essentials. It's really up to Ame whether or not she'll give out the PBS file as it's her game.

What you're doing is pretty much asking to steal all of Reborn's hard work and claim it as your own. Sorry, but you're going to have to work from scratch just like every other person who created (or are creating) a fan game on here.

btw, I am reading this to help see if something is too tough or not. So glad you found Julia to be one of the toughest fights as it actually is my favorite early game one. You can probably relax for a bit because there isn't any insanely difficult fights for a while. (And it sounds like the AI is a bit buggy...I know some of those are probably due to the seer number of poison types you have...though I may take off smog due to that weird thing going on for E16's version of this).

So for those of you not on the google docs, shit has been going down there. Like literally, it goes in all sorts of directions. However, I kind of wanted to bring a little annoucement. We're kind of in need of spriters due to a certain idea being passed. Here's an example that I've been working on yesterday. It's half finished, but I know you all love hot chics so...

I don't think time should matter too much. I mean most games pretty much wait until the final release to put out a game. That's usually a year or two of development time (sometimes more). Just look at Xenoblade X. That game took them 4 years to make (though I'd say more). I know some people won't have the patience like you say, but many, many people are patient. I'd rather say for someone to slow down and take their time then to rush something.

The sole purpose of those two items is to make training new Pokemon less tedious since you'll be doing that a lot. Good luck on Florinia though. She's going to be hell for Poison types.

(Grabs Popcorn) Ohohoho this'll be good. Be sure to pick up the Exp Share and Lucky Egg to the right of the Grand Hall. (Evil laughs) Yes, you can actually get them.

Socializing? What is this sorcery you speak of? And hopefully Jan and Inuki won't lose too much of their sanity working on these.
