So has anyone figured out how to get past this? Playing the mod for the first time and getting cock blocked by an error after spending almost 2 hours to beat Solaris is a bit disappointing, to say the least.

Ok, did I just see capital letters?! Who are you and what have you done to cass?

I love this! I'm sure no one here wants to walk up to a Mewtwo and just throw balls at it anyway! That being said, gimme those Lucario and Salamnce mega stones and I won't care about these legendaries nearly as much <_<

Ouch :(

I have noticed some rather strange switches as well, but those feel like they've always been there, and in situations where the AI doesn't really have a good move or switch to deal with whatever you have out, so it doesn't really matter as it was gonna lose anyway. As for trying to intentionally fool it, that's not really what I was doing, it's just that Sucker Punch it Pawniard's best move, so it was always gonna use it a lot.

I'm on the latest version actually, 18.4 was it? I made sure to check back every now and then to see if anything new had come out after cas went crazy with a few releases during summer, but the last one was in July I believe and I definitely have that one. It didn't feel like a switching issue, like what can Shade even switch in that doesn't get destroyed by Pawniard one way or another. Maybe I'm slightly overthinking it too and the trainers just didn't have anything to play around Sucker Punch, and teaching the AI to switch in such a case sounds like hell. I actually read about the speed checks being broken back when they got fixed I think, made me crack up, as I never really realized they were broken. But yeah, Sucker Punch is tricky, I feel like the AI not realizing that it's giving you +2 attack every turn by spamming Struggle Bug and Icy Wind against Defiant is actually a bigger issue and probably a much easier fix. That being said, I love the in depth response. Yes, it's of course getting easier every time you play the game, and this is like my.. 7th play through? Been like a year since I last played though. But I do feel like a considerable part of the easy time is this little Pawniard guy. I also discovered stuff like Julia getting completely ruined by freakin MUD SPORT. Klinklang has just been amazing all game, even with evolving so late, Gear Grind on level 16, or whenever it gets it, is just.. nice. And Arbok has been my go to for anything I couldn't handle right off the bat. Send in the snek, Glare, Screech, take it from there.

So uhm, I'm not 100% sure where to put this, because I don't think it fits into bug reporting. The thing is the following: It's my first time using Pawniard in Reborn (or in anything else, for that matter), and I made sure to get Sucker Punch on it. I noticed the AI not playing around it in any way though, running pokemon weak to dark like Espeon and Gengar into it and just dying. I suspect that the AI either doesn't recognize it as a priority move, or doesn't know that there is a way to get around it by not attacking. Whatever the case, I wanna put this out there for the off chance that the devs are not aware of it, as I know the AI is being rewritten completely. And if you guys knew about this, maybe you can confirm or deny either of my suspicions. Coincidentally, the AI is also completely unaware (pun?) of the Defiant ability. Shelly, who is a major problem in pretty much every play through for me, kept spamming Struggle Bug, giving Pawniard +2 attack every turn and running her pokemon into its Sucker Punch, making for the easiest battle I've ever had with her. Same thing with the Pulse Muk fight with ZEL, where they lead with Glaceon and hit Pawniard with Icy Wind, dooming all of the poor Eeveelutions. That's two things related to Pawniard that somewhat break the game honestly. In general this play through has been just about the easiest I remember having in Reborn, and that's with limiting myself to pokemon I've never used before, like Arbok (who does amazingly despite its lacking move pool until Gunk Shot and Coil), Linoone. and Klinklang. Either way, thanks for reading, and any responses I might get.

Well, ACTUALLY, I used it back in gen 1, not 3, so you're still wrong- I will see myself out now.

Beldum is listed as being obtainable before Radomus. I remember trying this when episode 17 was the most recent one, and it was not possible. IIRC the machine in Aya's house/gym just wouldn't go crazy, making it impossible to get Beldum. Unless it's been changed since then, which I don't really think is the case.

All nice and good, but who needs multiple fossils of the same kind? I felt like the odds of those were more than ok.

I fully expect Elias to turn on Lin and help the good guys, at least in one of the routes.

That... looks intentional.

Awesome to see so much progress, you guys are killing it! But, I gotta ask: why is episode 19 not getting released on its own, and then post game being its own kind of "episode"? This feels like two episodes are getting released at once anyway, and I kinda don't see the point in that. If it's because of the whole "people might stop caring after finishing the story" then they will stop caring after finishing the story even if the post game is already released. I don't see that happening anyway, at least not with long term fans of the game. Either way, take your time. Something as good as this game obviously takes time, and I'd rather wait than have something half arsed.

Thanks very much guys, that was it! I'm one of the friday people I suppose

Hi everyone, so I've read in a couple of places that it needs to be saturday for Lapras to show up. I've watched two different videos where it appears the first time the guy enters the area, provided that it's the correct day. I've been trying for quite a while now, saving before entering the dive spot where it is and restarting, and nothing. Lapras just isn't showing up. So I was wondering, maybe the requirements have changed since the posts that I read were made, maybe you need to talk to someone beforehand, maybe it's not no saturdays anymore? No idea, all I know is it's not showing up for me, and any help would be appreciated. I'm sure I'm at the right spot btw. Cheers.
