This isn't funny. I don't know what kind of reward will be in Rejuvenation. Anyway, we should be cautious about obtaining pokemons. Because of Gen 8 Pokemon, there has a possibility to change the events depending in which location it need to be found and to add some side stories as a requirement for later parts.

Calm down please, lol. It's not this serious. Even though events will be changed, event mons usually become wild sooner or later anyway... Besides Legendaries, you will have the opportunity to have multiple of the same Pokemon. Lastly, there will be a reward for catching all the Pokemon. I have a few ideas but nothing is set right now.

Out of curiosity, will there be a way to get Magikarp at some point in the game? I know Jan said he doesn't like Magikarp, and I don't want to be a bother, but it's just been bothering me that there hasn't really been a straight answer to the question.

All Pokemon will be obtained at some point.

(Shortened for thread convenience.)

So I don't really see a large problem with having it being gotten around that segment. The fact we have starter Pokemon that make a larger difference long term than Gyarados in itself hurts any argument to me about it's short term problem (that can easily be bypassed with my suggestion.) There are also many other later segments in which it could be fit in so that it could be obtainable. Unless you honestly want to tell me that base Gyarados would be considered too powerful in the current part of the game we're at, which would be a flat out lie. Not liking it doesn't really matter unless you want to advertise the game as, "All Pokemon can be obtained aside from Magikarp and Gyarados!" It doesn't necessarily need to show up as soon as it would no longer be considered overpowering, but the excuses of it being too strong, when it wouldn't be after a certain point, or not being liked aren't good reasons to withhold it. I don't expect it to be changed, mind you, just felt compelled enough to give how I feel on this subject considering I saw it come up.

you press dragon dance once and win any battle in this game.

Either way I've stated multiple times (It's even on the download page) that all Pokemon will eventually be able to be caught. After all the Pokemon that are available now and with still a handful of versions left... It'd be really weird if I just left out some Pokemon just cause?? I don't really get that conclusion, but i digress.

Dunno if anyone already asked this but are the devs planning on adding a Nuzlock option in the gameplay section kinda like what Pokemon Uranium did?

(It doesn't need to be in V13, just asking if eventually this will be a thing)

Won't be a V13 thing, but I don't see why not!

May 30

This has been converted into a V13 discussion thread! Things are a bit more leniant, however, please do not ask for in game help here. There are other places for that.

Also we're on a "one strike and you're out" type deal. If this thread goes horribly off topic once more, it's jail time once again!

May 16

Welcome back, friend :]

May 16

Psst... We have a dedicated development blog now!

From here on out we'll be using this corner to inform you guys of any updates regarding Rejuvenation's entire development!

Every update Zumi and I have made previously have been archived there too! So you can see what all has been showcased.

As a result, all status threads from here on out will no longer be made, as everything we need to update you on will be handled there.

However, there will still be discussion threads open that will act entirely the same to previous status threads.

This one will be turning into a discussion thread eventually, but as for now it'll stay locked!

May 11

Guys... This is a status thread for v13. Which means only posts regarding v13 should be in here. If you

have trouble with a fight, please make another thread or something. ~~Even when, again, most of the trouble~~

~~here seems to be from a LACK of understanding basic field mechanics. But I don't think that's being received.~~

This thread has constantly gone off topic so I think it's time for a time out. It'll be open again in the future, but for now I

think it's better to lock things up.

I'll be honest.. I think GameFreak's G-Max addition was a mistake.. They should had just made those into megas (scaling the size down, OFC)..
I don't know why GameFreak feels the need to add more and more gimmicks to Pokemon in order to make it "good", some of these additions I liked (Mega Evolutions and regional forms in Alola and Galar) some I would rather GameFreak never made them (Z-Moves, Ultra Beasts and now G-Max).. If Jan opted to never add G-Max to the game I would be 100%, NAY, 200% fine with it.. It was obvious that GF did these just to capitalize on the success of Pokemon GO with the Raid Battles thing and now we have this mess to sort out.. So Jan's decision to make it the same way as Mega Evolutions is the best option really, either that or not add them at all since they could potentially screw with the flow of the game.. Just imagine.. How would they even work anyways?! So we can have 1 Mega, 1 Z-Move and 1 G-Max? Ugh..

But that's just how I feel about it..

in the context of swsh and how it's presented there, I actually like it. It provides a lot of hype and can be quite good in battle. I just don't really think it fits Rejuv.

played rejuvanation few years back till you could get 7 badges loved it then, loved the concept as well. Now its become too damn annoying have to fight the second gym leader not once but twice. RNG is completely screwed and how come body slam a normal move from a lapras can hit a protean froakie who is ghost type? Cannot paralze opponents even if I do that they still don't paralyze. I'm venting I know and probably gonna be called names and what not but srsly the early game is so damn frustrating.

Sounds like you're not taking fields into consideration. If you ignore battle mechanics, it'll bite you back. Sounds like it already has.

Will any future Rejuv cast official art have their signature mon with them? Venam would look cool with her Seviper come to think of it.

Probably not. It'd look cool but im unsure if the work is worth it atm.

Guess we gotta wait and see..
Maybe Saki's new appearance will be one of her Animal Crossing Villagers!
Man.. I miss Bluebear..

Meanwhile at Reborn I just keep missing Rejuvenation tho'..
It's fun and all but I just keep thinking "Rejuv is better"

No need to put two successful queens against each other . Rejuv and Reborn exist together and compliment off each other.

Not gonna lie mate the exp candies is pretty wack. You said '' Never worry about new members '' But you added the exp Share all. So wouldn't that make it useless?

No. They both serve different purposes and have their pros and cons. Exp Candies give a quick burst of exp to a single Pokemon. If you have enough, you can bring in a new teammate instantly, whereas with the Exp All there's still a grinding process. Exp All keeps your Pokemon at an equal level without having to constantly switch out. They pretty much work in conjunction with each other.

like i say very few items for mons to hold for very long time.

mmm the conversation With the captain we dont need it because we have this details from amanda.

more useable mon's form different types [we get 2 nidoran A-grimer and budew or 3 good psychic mon]

it's fel important for intense mode.

you're doing great great job on putting mons that are very good but if you put them later players don't use them because they have better options.

but like i say it's really minor, the game is great and very fun and changing all the time.

i know you will do an amazing job when you finish the last episode because the game is already in a very high place.

items and Pokemon distribution are intended balance changes. Everything given to you, even in intense mode is all you need to succeed.

Also I just want to reiterate that this is Rejuv, not Reborn. Different changes for different games.

i hope we get more items for pokemons to hold.

the start of the game we have very few.

love this game and sure V13 make the game even better.

i think the game need a littel polishe, but you guys every ep check how to improve

the old content so i am sure in the end the game will be great.

hope we get more achievements and more mon's hunt from zumi.

When you say polish, what do you mean specifically? Leaving it at just "needs to be polished" doesn't give me much to go by.

Nope. No changes have been made lol

Hi guys. It's been a while since I've made a status update here, so I thought I'd go ahead and clear up a few things.

Most people know that I am based in NYC, the area that was hit hardest by the Corona virus. Unfortunately, I was not able to stay healthy

and contracted the disease (I live with an essential worker and I got it from them.) For the past few weeks I have been struggling with Covid,

but I can happily say that I'm in recovery now. I have been for a little while.

During this time, working on Rejuv has obviously been scarce. But I did not stop completely. I went on to take the opportunity of quarantine to visit past areas and continue polishing. I may never(and hopefully never, ever. Seriously, covid sucks.) get a chance where I have a lot of free time to do something like this. So I decided that it's probably in my best interest to work on things that don't require a lot of energy and focus. I have been working on things that were not planned.

If this is the case, why hasn't the Old Content section been updated? Everything that was done prior to quarantine was planned content. Now that I'm working on things I had not considered, I thought it would be inappropriate to consider this part of that progress bar. I could create a separate section for the content I'm working on now, but eh... Even now, the things I'm working on are still not considered planned. I'm just going where my energy wants me to. So for me to put out another progress bar may be pointless.

It's not much, but these are a few examples of what I've polished up.

There are many, many, MANY other things I have in store, but these are just a few things I wanted to show. Just to assure that things are still moving, albeit at a slow pace. But that's all I have to talk about for now. Please stay safe and have a wonderful day :).

I wonder if V13 will involve Axis University, Saki is associated with it as well as Thomas Blakeory. And i wonder what's Hazuki's story. But like Axis University has been looming over the plot for quite some time, Saki, Valerie and Adam used to attend, Melia didn't pass the exam because math sucks, Risa Raider is currently attending and she seems shady. (The first indication she was possibly evil, was that she defeated Melia in a battle without being us. Haahahahaha, one does not simply beat the dev team's favorite character and expect to be not put in their place. Though i could be wrong) people failing to get into Axis is a catalyst for joining Bladestar, and overall the institution seems built up to be antagonistic. Like that episode of Pokemon about the strict elite school. Plus Reborn has Fern obstructing us at OST, so i can see a similar scenario happening.

My favorite characters are Aelita, Erin, and Red Haired Binch. Stop spreading misinfo.

We don't have a clue yet but, hopefully, all of them

All Pokemon will be available by the game's completion, so starter Pokemon you did not choose will all appear later.

Sure, though like sometimes when chatting with other forum members topics can go off topic. I just like talking to people. But yeah i understand recommending Pokemon Insurgence and musing about Genesect can derail a bit.

Gen 8 updates are hype though, i can't wait to teach my TOTALLY NOT MODDED IN HYDREIGON nasty plot. Though now my poor TOTALLY NOT MODDED IN MIMIKYU is nerfed now.

Yep, legally acquired pokemon, nothing to see here dev team.

Speaking off, i guess Toxitricity will be Venam's new signature, not Seviper? Venam had like a small scene with Seviper in GDC, i guess Toxitricity will replace him.

While Toxtricity is perfect for Venam theme wise, I think Seviper captures Venam's personality more. Besides, it's just too iconic at this point haha. For me at least.

I hope I don't get stuck by new changes when I'm going to play V13. I don't know where to go and I almost get stuck about continuing the story because of these differences between old version and new version who are at 100%. I might need someone doing a walkthrough in this game when released.

If you follow the instructions (I always give on the release thread) you have nothing to worry about.

Speaking off, is no one else concerned that Cera has a Groudon? Like sure it went down like a joke thanks to the cave, but it is capable of doing a lot of damage in story. Then again, Angie wants to be Mr. Freeze and freeze all of Aevium for some reason, so i don't think Groudon would be helpful, and Cera was pissed at it last time, so off to become the Rift.

I mean it's a lot more scarier than Angie's Regice. Regice is like one of the worst Legendaries ever. I doubt even a Rift transformation can save it.

No one is concerned because Cera abandoned the Groudon. She no longer has it.

I ALREADY KNOW! Because when it comes to new Generation Pokemons, that's the reason of why V13 is huge. But it doesn't matter so I will be patient. I don't blame you for that.

It's part of the reason, but you're wrong. We'll see when v13 drops :]

I am kinda of scared of the multiple endings, because in my 1 save slot (where I have all the 14 gym badges) I might'v screwed up the friendship with Melia and Erin, because:

1. Melia and Erin don't trust me, because of Melia discovering about me being The Interceptor and also her saying about me not trusting me for one bit, and losing a friendship point with Erin *(insert sad violin)* and you might ask: ''Wolf, what the hell did you do to make Melia not trust you one bit?'' well see reason 2.

2. When I restarted my game and started anew, I was still in V10 and played through the game until I was stopped when I tried to catch a shiny Buneary. I didn't know there was a V11 and V12 and so I missed so many events that were changed when the game updated, for example new friendship points that I didn't know. So I unknowingly lost points with Melia and a lots of people.

Short version of this, I probably will regret not being a good friend to Melia and Erin in my 1 save file, but thank god there more save files and we will see what will happen future with the endings. And thank you for coming to my TED talk.

Oh and by the way, keep up the good work Jan and Zumi!

I wouldn't worry too much. There will be a way to gain lots of points in V13.
