Polaris

Beta Testing takes at least a week.

She appears once you're in the Dimensional Rift in her church, otherwise she won't be seen.

Now that Alpha Testing has been completed, Jan has given me permission to leak some interesting details and pictures that may appeal to those of you who are eager to play the upcoming version! Being that I've played through V8 already, I know that the new content (and the old redesigns for that matter) will not fail to impress. Well, let's get started! For those of you who have been following the Status Thread (hopefully patiently), you already know that the vast majority of Terajuma Island has been redone. The Shore, Terajuma Jungle, Kakori Village, Route 5, Route 6, Aquamarine Cave, Teila ​​​Resort​, and Kristilline Town are all newer, more polished versions of their old selves! Wait...Aquamarine Cave, what's that? Just a beautiful replacement to the awkward cave that connected Route 6 and Teila Resort! In all honesty, all the redesigns are stunning. That's the thing about V8, although its content is indeed short, this is by far the most pretty update released thus far in Pokémon Rejuvenation. Now, for those of you who have considered starting your save over when you heard about the new Terajuma Island, I am not here to discourage it. If you truly want to embark upon a mostly similar, but improved in certain parts, Terajuma Island story, I say go for it! And although not major, starting over means you get to take on Valarie in her new and improved arena...along with experiencing many new revisions and additions. Anyways, I think that's all for the details concerning the old content. Buuuuuut, since I'm nice, ​unlike Jan ​ here are three new pictures that can be found in the Graphics folder! Now, on to the V8 content! Like I stated above, this is a short, yet breathtaking release. But although this is a shorter version, that's not a testament to how much story the new content contains! And we even witness the return of a familiar face! Well, familiar to some, very new to others... So, remember when you had to decide whether to give Cera the Magma Stone or keep it for yourself? Did you find making that decision hard? Well honey, you've got a big storm coming. That's right! Jan (and his sadistic self) has introduced yet another story-influencing decision. Now, I can't attest to how largely the whole Magma Stone choice will affect the story, because not even I know. But with this one, you'll feel the effects of your choice right away, trust me. So, all I can really say is pick wisely, pick what you believe is the right option, and good luck! Also, since most of you will complete the new content in a short amount of time, explore the new terrain! I think Jan did an especially good job with this aspect of V8, and hopefully you'll agree with me after the new version is released! Well, I hope that the limited information I was able to release builds up some excitement! I don't know when Jan will release V8, but what I can assuredly say is that it's coming soon. But, with this choice, I don't know whether that's a good thing, or a bad thing. Again, pick wisely and get hyped!!

(I didn't do either of those requests :') you're not alone)

Words could not possibly articulate how much respect I have for you. It really takes such a strong person to openly share their life and their hardships with a whole community. I applaud you for your resilience, your strength, and for holding a rather optimistic outlook on the future, especially after everything you've endured throughout your life. I really think a lot of people can reflect off of your experiences and put their own issues into perspective. And you're completely right to say I can get through any affliction of mine, because you did it, and that's such a powerful thing to realize. Thank you for this, really.

Thanks for the update Ame!

If you don't do the Help Center requests involving Karen, she actually won't show up at Amber's party, nor West Gearen. When we meet her in the Elite 8, I'm sure there will be a dialogue split for those who did the requests, and those who didn't.

I think this statement perfectly encompasses why you should do everything in this game, who knows what a certain sidequest will cause to happen ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

My lips are sealed

Playing on a higher difficulty setting primarily means tougher gym battles and less money being awarded at the end of a battle. The gym leaders' Pokemon are higher leveled, and they can even carry different Pokemon from their Normal and Casual counterparts. Intense Mode is, as indicted by the name, intense. But certainly not impossible. If you're up for a challenge, Intense Mode is the way to go.

V8 contains one new gym. As for TMs, you'll have to wait and see

You should save near the train with Venam, Kanon, and Melia.

I don't quite understand what you're asking. None of the battles have changed. Levels may have been tweaked but that's really it.

All right, well I haven't been on in a while, so for anyone who doesn't know me I'm Polaris and I'm an alpha tester for Rejuvenation. If anyone has any questions concerning the game I can help (since I've played through it like six times by now :') rip ). I'm also going to be making a promotion thread for V8 soon so keep an eye out for that! I think you guys are going to like this version a lot. Jan did a really great job on this one.

Since there are Pokecenter redesigns being included in this update, I would advise against this. When loading this new update, I would suggest loading up near the train with Venam, Kanon, and Melia.

I'm unsure if there's one in but if not, the most recent one is in Amber's Gym.

Which Mode are you on? I'm on Intense and it was an okay battle but it, like all the other gym battles, needs tweaking.

The Audino trainers give the most EXP the fastest.

This warehouse results in a black screen. Additionally, this leads to nowhere.

Answered above.

I may be wrong here, but I believe after you beat Amber, Narcissa will move away from the statue in her arena and that will trigger the event.

Crawli no longer owns a Volcarona, so for whoever has yet to fight him, hopefully your battle isn't as tough!
