Personthing

So I just started (I've only beaten Connor so far), and I have to say I'm liking what I'm seeing. The initial choice of non-standard starters was pretty neat, even if it is sort of nullified by being able to pick a traditional starter later on. I haven't seen what the relationship system effects so far, so I'm definitely keeping an eye out for that. I'll be keeping an eye on this in the future.

Glad to have everything in order, and I'm definitely ready for this. Looking forward to working with you guys. I couldn't think of a pun that wasn't done or didn't sound forced.

Just gonna put in my thoughts about Titania and Saphira's muder spree. I actually don't mind those parts of the games. It's clear that the player has been fighting the same meteor grunts over and over again, and every time they just come back stronger. Beating them in Pokemon battles does often slow them down, but it doesn't stop them permanently. Team Meteor's grunts have been humanized, but their goal is the destruction of the world and replacing it with their new one which seems to include the deaths of everyone who isn't a part of their group. If the antagonists don't show mercy and don't accept defeat, then why should the protagonists let them go when time and time again they just keep coming back? That being said, I'd rather the player never be able to murder the grunts. That'd push the game into edgelord territory. Titania is very much a hypocrite in her actions towards Taka. It took the player exposing her secret for her to break free of her situation when Amaria forgets about the whole thing she's too cowardly to break free again on her own. Yet she still antagonizes Taka for his hesitance in leaving his situation. EDIT: Yes, Cain has reconciled with his Sister, but he doesn't seem to have actually grown as a person due to this. He can't do anything to save Aya at the moment, so he has to wait for his chance rather than bashing his head against a wall like Hardy is, which is different than when Gardevoir was kidnapped as he could actually pursue the captor. I do like Cain, but I just want to see a bit... More from him?

I disagree here. Why would Cain having his own growth arc make things like these unable to happen? He could still grow into a stronger character in his own arc while still serving as a catalyst for other character arcs. Growing as a character doesn't mean he'd ever have to lose his good nature.

Well here's to hoping I don't fail you guys. Lets do this.

Kinda on the fence here, but this seems like it could be really fun so why not? Forum name: Personthing Showdown name: Personthing Year I joined Reborn: 2014 Favorite Type: Fire, Dark, Water Least Favorite Type: Ice Pokenations 1?: Nope General Availability: 7pm-4am CST Wednesday, Thursday, Saturday, Sunday, 10pm-4am Tuesday, 2pm-4am Monday. I'm either not available on Fridays, or I have the same availability as I do on Mondays.

Any healing machine/nurse missed is actually kind of critical, so I need to catch those. I went through every single event that sets the trainer's spawn point again twice to be absolutely sure, and that should be the only one I missed. EDIT: Updated for both versions.

Thanks for catching that. Made me go through the files again in RPG maker XP, and it turns out I did miss the healing machines in the nature center in route 1. I'll get to uploading a fix for that ASAP, but it'll take awhile because the files are large.

Just do what you would do for Regular Reborn, and extract the base folder with every other folder in it.

Eh? Basically all of the lines are from hgss originally, so I'm not sure what you mean there? For the escavalier thing I'll look into it.

Just have a nurse at a pokemon center heal your Pokemon, or use a healing machine such as the one in Radmous' gym. I have the events set that follower Pokemon are completely disabled (you can't toggle them back on when they are disabled) when partners such as Fern join the player, and aside from the mentioned Shelly incident I came across no issues. Pardon me if I'm misunderstanding you.

With permission from Ame and Commander (so that I could make this for his Reborn hardcore mod as well), and quite a bit of work, (edited movement paths in 69 cutscenes, getting the damn scripts to even work, etc) I'd like to present a mod for Reborn that has the player's Pokemon follow them like in HGSS. Every single Pokemon has an overworld sprite, so even the Unova and Kalos mons follow the player. Some Screenshots: Follower Pokemon start following the Pokemon at this point in the game: The intro fights with Cain and Victoria. Or, if you already have a file in progress, just heal your Pokemon at a healing machine or Nurse. Follower Pokemon are disabled at these points in the game: Whenever the player is partnered with an NPC trainer. Some additional features include: The ability to cycle through party members with the A key, so that you don't have to go into the party menu every time you want to change leads. You can press the control key to toggle follower Pokemon. Not sure why you'd download this to do that, but it's here. Area specific messages in quite a few maps. Flying types, water types, and pokemon with levitate still follow the player when surfing. This however leads to a bug that if your lead pokemon is the pokemon you are surfing on, it'll still follow you. While you are surfing on it... Known bugs: Follower Pokemon absolutely hate bridges over water. There aren't many of those, but the most memorable instance is the bridge in Agate during the cutscene where the player and Cain enter Agate. During this instance, the follower Pokemon's sprite will overlap with the players. Same goes for cutscenes that have the player using waterfall. This fixes itself when you are off the bridge/waterfall. During cutscenes, if the player is facing towards the follower Pokemon and there is currently no dialogue (EX: a character is moving around without talking) it is possible to talk to to the follower Pokemon mid-cutscene. This does not break any cutscene, and they resume as normal when the Pokemon's dialogue box goes away. During the raid on Sigmund's orphanage, you cannot leave until it's over. I have a bit of a story behind this one, so here we go: I experienced some lag in Chrysolia forest, a little bit during some parts of route 2, and bizarrely enough this section of the Obsidia Ward (everywhere else in the Obsidia Ward was fine): But my computer isn't that strong (can't even run Overwatch at a decent frame rate at the absolute lowest settings lmao), so take that as you will. Another important thing to note is this NPC in every Pokemon Center and Agate Circus: If you want to transfer to a version of regular Reborn/the new episode whenever it comes out, you absolutely have to talk to this NPC, as if follower Pokemon are still enabled when transferring versions the game will crash whenever you try to load your file. If you talk to them by accident, all you gotta do is heal your Pokemon to enable them again. Will I update this for future episodes?: Yes. I have a list of all of my changes saved, so it shouldn't take more than a few days to update for each new episode. How will I handle Gen 7 mons when that happens?: I am pretty garbage at spriting, not gonna lie. Unless some people were willing to lend a hand (which I would feel guilty about as I would be unable to pay for any assistance) I'm probably just gonna use place holder sprites for them.

Some quick thoughts: -Character customization returning is amazing. Hopefully we can remove the hat? Please? -The Sun boxart Legendary looks so cool, I really, really like it. -Not too big on the starters. The Owl is ok, but I can't say that I feel the same way about the others at this current moment. I'm open to their final evolutions wowing me, or at least pleasing me. -Trainers showing up in battle is something I always wanted in XY/ORAS because of Colosseum/XD, and now that it's here I really like it. That raises the question though, did they optimize the game engine? XY and at times ORAS as well could lag quite a bit. -Looks like we'll be using the high quality models throughout the whole game instead of those models only appearing in select scenes. I approve. I'm looking forward to Sun and Moon.

You do understand that laws are meant to be enforced, right? Like, you break the law and you get punished for it? Compare the gun violence in any country with strict gun control laws to America and the difference is astounding.

Hey everybody, I got something I've been wanting in some fan games for awhile now to work: Pokemon following the player like in Heart Gold/Soul Silver. Originally I was just gonna keep it to myself, but with permission from Jan (I just thought it'd be respectful to get permission to post such a thing), I'm gonna release it publicly. This took quite a bit of work, especially since this was the first time I've ever used RPG Maker for something like this. (figuring out the scripting, fixing the healing events, and editing movement paths in 90 cutscenes so that characters won't just casually walk through the player's Pokemon) Some screen shots: Pokemon start following the player after this point in the game: The introductory fights with Amaria and Ren. Or, if you already have a file started and don't want to restart just heal your Pokemon at a Pokemon center. Follower Pokemon are disabled during these sections of the game: Whenever the player is partnered with an NPC trainer. Blacksteeple Castle (until the second boss fight) Some additional features include: The ability to cycle lead Pokemon with the "A" key The control key lets you toggle the follower Pokemon on or off (don't see why you'd download this to turn them off, but it's here) Water types, flying types, and Pokemon with levitate will still follow the player when using Surf. That however leads to a little bug in that they'll still follow you even if you are surfing on them. This issue also applies to Magma Drift. Some minor bug fixes for regular Rejuv like Augustus not showing up if you go to Oceanana Pier before clearing out the Xen Backup Lab. Known Bugs: You can use Dig and Escape ropes with NPC trainers. (It was either this, or have them completely unusable) The follower Pokemon freak out on a few of the bridges such as the bridge on Route 2, but this fixes itself when you get off the bridge. Will I update this for future versions of Rejuvenation?: Definitely. How will I handle Gen 7 Pokemon when that eventually happens?: Hate to say it, but I'm not a good spriter. I'm a pretty bad one actually, the best I can do is a half decent recolor. Unless people were willing to lend a hand (which I would feel guilty about), Gen 7 Pokemon would have to use place holder sprites. Will I do this for Reborn?: Yes, I have that in the works right now actually. It should take about 2-3 weeks, as I have to play through the game, iron out any errors I find and fix up many cutscenes as they weren't designed with follower Pokemon in mind.

TheSuzerain and the rest of the insurgence dev team for the Unova/Kalos overworld sprites. Feedback would be appreciated, and I'd also appreciate it if you reported any crashes or progress impeding bugs that you encounter if there are any. (All of the crashes I encountered were related to healing after losing, and I fixed up every single one of those events in the game, so there shouldn't be any, but still I might have missed something.) EDIT: If you do encounter any crashes, please post your save file so that I can recreate and fix them as soon as possible. EDIT 2: I forgot to include this NPC in the initial release: I would recommend talking to this NPC before transferring to any new version when it is released.

I strongly dislike all three monkeys. Unova Pokemon are generally really hit or miss for me. I either really, really like them (Bisharp, Zoroak, Krookodile, Serperior, Stoutland, etc) or I strongly dislike them. (The monkeys, the Tepig line, Watchhog, the entire Timburr line, etc)
