Commander

There was an exploit I believe in 14 however, we do not encourage, nor do I recommend talking about exploits. Aya actually got nerfed hard and lost her Assualt Vest due to so many people doing said exploit. I will not discuss this topic of in-game cheating further than needed especially since it's off topic. Now to solve your little problem, there is literally a prankster Cottonee catchable right outside and while it may seem like a bad idea, it gets access to Stun Spore and Tailwind with Prankster but with a steep price. Walrein is one that you could bring in since Thick fat let's it just get hammered by attacks and surf lowers the accuracy of everyone. Weaken that Typhlosion some or get rotom out and let it overheat and then just take the other side out. Bulldoze-Rock Slide Flygon decimated her, but I don't think you have access to one. Focus on shutting down that Typhlosion (and possibly Darmanitan) and the rest of the battle ain't too bad.

I mean yeah any fan-game can be taken down, but my god am I sick of everybody freaking out due to the Uranium take down. It didn't get taken down but Nintendo was going to DMCA if they didn't take down the links. Yes Rejuv can get taken down, but it's going to fall after Zeta, Insurgence, Dark Rising, and Reborn all get taken down which nintendo really hasn't seen interest in doing. Nintendo's been trying to stop fan-game makers for years. Like since 2005 or something, and they'll keep doing stuff for as long as they exist.

If you're referring to the canvas size, that's really only used to better center the picture...because Commander ain't really good at making games. You may have to double the size of those sprites since showdown sprites are smaller than what reborn uses aka Hardcore's Chibi Gengar moment. If you do resize it though: DO NOT USE MICROSOFT PAINT! I use gimp 2, but paint.net is apparently the best from what I hear. You may also want to reposition the sprite which can be done using the editor so long as it's not another form. Just don't use the editor for anything else. You can also manually reposition the sprites using the metadata (or through paint.net by relocating it).

So I thought you'd like to know this since we've all seen me bitching about the whole laptop crash I've been having for the past two weeks. I have a new hard drive installed and windows 8 is working perfectly. As for recovering data...it's going about molasses pace because A) There's about 400 GBs worth of data on there and B.) Windows 10 updates corrupted bits and pieces of my data. What about hardcore? I'm sorry to tell you but it got corrupted. A few files just didn't properly work...for previous versions I kept on my laptop. The party system one is safe and all the data is on the new hard drive along with some of my written works. Still looking for my Nuzlocke stuff including that one fanfiction (now ya'll are gonna want to see me post stuff from years ago), but I have backups of 75% of that though it'd suck trying to recreate all those older entries from the game data. Hopefully I can find it on the hard drive. I don't think I'm going to be doing another release of Hardcore pre E16 though. While I could use a backup or transfer software to get all the data out...there's some stuff I might not want. I'll worry about that in my own time. It's not that I won't be able to work on hardcore, it's just that retrieving data (then again not too much important stuff is on there other than stuff I won't be able to find...and my linked ps4 controller...again details). So yeah, that'll likely be my free time...downloading everything though that should all be back to normal within two weeks. I also know of the Ciel glitch and while I'd love to fix it, it's really easy, let's not try and fry my laptop since it's gonna be downloading stuff for a long while and I have schoolwork to do (since I spent the last few nights fixing this shit up...like I have two hours of sleep). I could do it from this laptop but there's a couple of bugs fixed on the master version that aren't available through other means. E16 is also nearly on the way so my attention will be for setting that up (and fixing one of my big screwups). Please just run reborn 15 for any glitches in the meantime. Since this will also likely be the last update until E16, I just want to say one more time thank you guys for all the support and not only passing my hopes to what this would become, but just blowing any expectations out of the water to want me to keep working on this. It has been quite a year...well over a year for this project and believe me the Commander back then, who had zero experience in game making, would get himself into this bloody mess. Now that I have the experience, I'm definitely sure I can make the next version better. BTW guys, I know I'm cutting the randomizer due to problems as well as making TM breeding a full on feature of the game (aka it'll but a permanent feature instead of toggable). Party members are obviously going to be a new feature for E16, but I may or may not add to nostalgia mode (aka give everyone else alternate gym fights). The other ones on the possible chopping block are Insanity Mode and No-item run. If you guys like them please let me know but if they really aren't worth keeping, I might remove them which would make transferring easier. Edit: My Nuzlocke stuff is safe now so YAY! I'll work on getting my pc games next since there's like 100 of them or something. Yeah...100 isn't that much of an exaggeration. (It's actually 100 GB worth).

I think they were asking for a PWT which is possible especially given someone drew out the code for it, it's not very practical due to the resource file being deleted. It's not a very good use of my time especially given all the stuff I do for Hardcore but if someone wanted to use the CoM fights for something like this, I suppose I could let them use it. Now if you're asking about a fixated tournament where the order you face the trainers is the same, CoM basically does that and will do more of them over the next episodes, however it's not an arena but more of a gym leader castle design. Edit: Oh you mean like the anime one. Yeah, that likely isn't going to happen since the game is already large enough as is.

I could see picking Tepig raising Victoria's charisma or whatever, but we won't know what any of this stuff does for a long long time and by that point I'm pretty sure everything will be debunked to death at what the best possible choices are. Won't say much else about it. Speaking of the diary, it never bothered me to read it, but there was poor indication that it was supposed to forward the plot kind of does. Maybe an indication that we should go read a book would help (and hell, breaking morality is kind of part of how video games work for sake of storytelling). It'll be interesting to see how Ame got past that little issue as well as if it does affect anything given we originally weren't even going to have an option.

Basically I won't change badges, pokedex, or the bag as those things, while not hard to do, get really messy and complicated for such a minor thing (lots of little details will change as a touch though). Just think of it as being able to play as a character with a fixed team that you can swap out at any time. Let's say the player is about to wipe so you could switch to Fern and fight that one trainer inbetween you and the Pokemon Center. If you swap back to the player before healing, they'll still be in the red. Consider the player like a wild card in which they can use any pokemon they want and not be forced with a limited selection. On the downside, their actual Pokemon tend to be weaker than the party members but more balanced. It's a system I think people should play with as I do intend to use controlling multiple party members in a certain scenario which will be a pain to event but so worth it.

First, Danganronpa 3 is an anime, not a game Second, Golden Sun the lost age is kind of an oldie, but ain't bad Third, Chrono Trigger is a pain to beat without a controller due to the need to hold down a few buttons. Wouldn't put it on my best to play but it has it's really good up moments. A lot more games compete with it now compared to back then where it was revolutionary. Fourth, Final Fantasy is a good series, but I'd say start with X if you can. IV is pretty good until the moon spike. IV, V, VI, IX, and X are my recommendations though I should recognize VII is the most loved despite it being my second least favorite. Ah yes Hardcore the game that's slowly gaining popularity even though 80% of it is practicing my homework for school. But yeah, it's kind of my nod to classic Reborn styled battling so have fun if you go for it. I'm going to actually say other and try out Mother 3 since I don't know what RPGs you like, but given Danganronpa you seem more into story driven. (I would reccomend LoH Trails series but that series is a behemoth of interesting lore and phenomenal storytelling with so much to explore its a little overwhelming).

Yeah...no, probably not starting a new save file. Though just as a fun fact: I've only ever had one official run go from episode 1 to the current episode that started back during the episode XI release. So yeah, I might see what changes have taken place for Hardcore, but I'm probably only going to play the new episode since well there's a lot of stuff that needs done on my end for that mod. Likely I'll restart for E19 or when Post-game comes out.

I'm going to guess you downloaded 2.3 or whatever the non heavy mod version number is. Unlike CoM which is hardcore plus a load of additional content this run can be swapped and saves can work on Reborn with no issues. What happened is that you actually ran the region version of Reborn since that is the team he uses there. Downloading CoM should resolve this problem but make sure to download 1.51...or wait and see if I make another CoM release. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Edit: So how about I give you guys a bit of an update on what I've been doing...and why the project is halted for an unknown amount of time. So basically yesterday my laptop decided to just break in all new kinds of ways. I wasn't expecting it to go that badly but my computer was already having issues so perhaps this is me just suffering for ignoring the signs. Does that mean Hardcore is completely done and over with. Nope! Due to beta testing I have a backup so I'll only lose about 2% of all the data and features (like a couple bug fixes and one trainer in total). The playable characters addition...is a different story. Should I not be able to recover this (I hope to god I can), we'll likely see a very pissy Commander for a week or two recoding that entire thing. Though for probably the next week or two, I won't have access to hardcore. So just as precaution for the next week or two, please make sure you either have Reborn 15 or Hardcore 2.1 while playing CoM 1.51 just in case some game breaking glitch happens (it shouldn't but you can never be too safe). I won't be able to edit or fix save files for a while...well I can if it gets really bad but it's a bit complicated. I was going to take better pics of this, but not much I can do. Here's some screenies to showcase what to look forward to:

So just as a progress update, the multiple characters mini project is going quite nicely. The bulk of the scripting is done other than where the Pokemon are from (cause I don't think you want them all to be from the johto region). I'm sure there are some concerns about healing and that. The good news is that pokemon centers and healing machines heal all party members. Outside of that such as light shards, it'll only heal one character's. The trainer card also changes though it only changes the name, ID and sprite. I'm still unsure whether or not I should give nonplayer characters a boosted 1.5 exp but we'll let beta testers decide that. That's just part of polishing since it demands quite a bit for something like this to work. I may do a hardcore release of this, but I do kind of have plans to also add a mod of regular reborn for E16 since we'll this more of a groundwork concept since well people might want to use this framework for mods or other fangames. Now in terms of how people can help, I actually need spriters. As a personal rule, I won't create a party member unless they have a backsprite so that limits me to whatever reborn partners the player with. Another thing is that I kind of need someone to flip all the vs sprites, but that's a minor thing I can probably do myself. The last thing I'd like to have a few of is over world sprites for fishing surfing etc. Backsprite are likely the only one I'll give something for, but anyone who does any of the above I mentioned will get credit.

Tbh, it's really hard to tell you whether or not leaders are harder or easier, but nearly all the leaders bar Shelly and Radomus have been viewed as difficult one point or another. It's just been adapting more towards the field effect gimmick for many of the leader team changes, but it's still a little bit of a work in progress. Just think of future episodes just rebalancing the game to make the difficulty consistent. Reborn is a really hard game compared to the main games so I wouldn't fret too much on the difficulty. The game originally was planned to be like that...until I took over. I'd say it's more of a mix between old and new Reborn (plus the infamous Commander touches as you'll learn) to satisfy the people who craved difficulty of Pre-nerf Charlotte and Aya.

While I could just add this to Hardcore or in the Fan-game Expose, I figure this little project might be better suited here. You all know I've been messing with the ability to change party members...and I exceeded and probably went overboard there. The only thing left to do is to pretty much manually type everything in so that the mon matches up with the one you fight against...not fun, but one thing I kind of need to do is write where they are all from (cause I don't think Ame is gonna give all these out for free). And no this isn't just bound to map locations as you can see here: So pretty much you can say whatever the heck you want...within reason, and I'll write it down for the location obtained. Obviously there has to be some logic behind it such as none of Victoria's Pokemon could have been caught outside of the Reborn region. Right now, I'm only going to include characters that I've implemented. It's going to be mostly a first come first serve (so long as I deem it acceptable or fitting) and I'll try to update this regularly. So here's a list of all the Pokemon to pick from: Fern Cain Victoria Julia Florinia Shelly Aya Cal If I missed any Pokemon or you want me to put down any of the axed ones just mention it and I'll add it.

You guys are putting way to much though into this to the point I think a bunch of you guys are gonna be disappointed. Though it could be the fact that the whole rep idea is a concept I never cared for in the first place which is pretty obvious based on my philosophy of story and game making. I'm guessing it's mostly gonna be slight dialogue changes and nothing is hopefully missable because Reborn is not a game that really isn't too replayable due to its grand scale causing it to be a double edged sword. That's a debatable topic that I would be more than happy to go into detail, but I'll refrain due to off-topic shenanigans. As for everything you guys just said that could raise and lower the reputation points, you barely scratched the surface. Losing a battle could easily lower the rep points by one for each lost and the number shown is merely the limit of how low it can go. That whole thing Ame showed could do a 180 as numbers are just numbers so don't take it as fact. Just remember that nothing is official until the game is up for downloads. And seriously not even scratched the surface of how rep points could be raised or lowered.

Think of the location on the pokemon like a nickname where it's pretty much just a program that displays letters. Worse comes to worse, the data you had on them will just give an unknown location should a map be deleted. Adding Pokemon in is generally safe, but I generally don't encourage means of cheating other than for challenge runs and obviously testing the game which is its intentional purpose. So long as you don't touch the scripts and the game variables/switches, it's pretty hard to break or damage a game unless of course you walk through walls which of course can lead to events out of order screwing how the game functions. Though funny enough, breeding kind of is obsolete if you're adding Pokemon in the first place.

Aww, looks like I'm caught. Yeah, I don't know if it's a curse or a blessing that I try to think of every scenario a player could go through and especially with this quest, to find the least amount of ways people can screw themselves over for the haunter (which will be unmissable when Ghastly gets released).

Sorry I had to do that update on a phone and the fact I can be understood on a phone would be a miracle. While most RPGs do that, they don't have restraints called Pokemon Essentials preventing them from using half the systems in place to do such a concept since well each player technically has unlimited party members when you think about it, but can only bring six. My idea was more along the lines of having access to a few different characters and teams just mostly for the heck of it (and so they aren't worthless as well). That's kind of the first stage: let people play as other characters and see how that works out though it's more of a fun thing since well it'd be hilarious to do a fern vs fern scenario (since I'd pretty much give you the character after you partner with them...or after a certain point in the story ie Route 1 for Fern, Victoria after the Solaris fight, Shelly after the orphanage fights). Basically there'd be an option in the menu screen to switch to any character unlocked at any point (I may still do this for E16, but that's about it). There's a lot of little things that should be worked out before I attempt that though. The episode backstories is definitely a concept I'd love to do, but I'm not sure if I'd be able to do them all by myself since that requires a ton of work (mostly because I'd have to re-event maps entirely since we ain't adding that much content over and over again). That'd kind of be like the whole Explorer of Skies episodes in a sense. Lot of work but 90% of it would be transferable except for the overworld sprite stuff. But if I had to do an episode for a meteor grunt, it'd go like this: "In a world where everything has been corrupted by people, one team has stood up to face this injustice and put a permanent end to its reign. That team is none other than the great team meteor. But even they cannot achieve this without the help of a hero. Though that hero came in an unexpected form of one of their own. A grunt, no, a nobody who has yet to live up to that potential. That hero is me: Grunt Burne, gruntiest of grunts. My partner, Willie, and I were sent a mission, one that would change my life forever: destroy all means of escape for the people in this wretched city. So Willie and I headed down to the Railway of Ever Growing Infections to put an end to the oncoming flocks using out Red Candles of a Brighter Future. I was going to be the brave man to set the sacred relics in their place, but Willie stopped me. He told me, 'Grunt, I've known you for a long time, but...you have so much ahead of you. Me, on the other hand, is stuck in this prison with a Zubat screeching in my ear every day never stopping for a minute. I begged him to stop again and again, but he always just keeps screeching. I'm tired of this. I want to be free so please, let me be the one to do this.' Willie's words didn't make sense to me as I always had my Zubat in his ball, but I trusted him. So I stood guard as Willie entered the devil's pin to serve those demon's justice. I waited and saw a demon approaching in hot from the other world. Before I knew it, the candles had delivered their justice filling the sky with their fiery passions burning the demons to crisp. I waited for a minute for my partner to return, but he was nowhere to be found. I hollowed for him with all my might, but to my surprise, a trap was waiting for me. Five men in blue cut off any means of escape. With my highly trained combat skills, I was able to take two down, but even a hero has his limits. All I remember is seeing one the size of a bear before losing a grip on reality. Willie was a free man. I, however, was not."
