  1. I'll go with the one idea I thought of previously: Golurk Crest: Boost it's speed and Atk by 20% and makes Phantom Force always be a 1-turn move instead of needing to charge it.
  2. Absolutely take your time. I understand the issue of burnout and this year in general has been pretty rough. But I think most folks here will fully understand if you need to put development on pause. Ultimately, what's most important is not sticking by some kind of arbitrary deadline, but it's for you to care for your own health, physical and, more importantly, mental.
  3. I've only got ~15-20 battles left to go and record but, to be perfectly honest, I am starting to seriously feel burned out. On top of that, some of the battles I have left are likely to take a whole day each. 

    Spoiler

    Ryland, the two Star Shard sisters and Dufaux being the main ones. I'm also stuck on Lorna now.

      Froslass is your best friend against Dufaux tbh

  4. Gym Leader battle: 7 attempts.

    Random sidequest battle: 39 attempts.

     

    I hate my life right now.

  5. Okay, stopping for the night, but wish to ask: Should I record the tournament battles or should I just skip all those and only record the battle vs Adam himself?

  6. Hm. I am looking over and, not counting the current leader I am stuck on (Puppet Masters), I have ~40-45 battles still to record on the Intense Playthrough. The big question is: Should I record the battles against the Defense Mechs? Both in Eclysia and for the Empo Crest. Furthermore, wondering if I should record the battle against ??? And ??? At Eclysia.

  7. Holy hell I managed to pull it off. 37 attempts, but I pulled it off.
    Fun fact: This is now the most amount of tries that a battle took. Angie took 33, Novae 2, 28 attempts. Valarie, 26.

  8. Probably unpopular opinion: Normal difficulty Rejuvenation is more fun than Intense. It actually feels fair, fun and balanced.

      Both difficulties have their ups and downs. Intense is more geared towards people more familiar and more committed and ultimately enjoy a much better experience for being more experts of the system. There's absolutely nothing wrong with playing normal mode as forcing yourself to suffer because a few people like the higher difficulty isn't worth it. There's a reason why there are multiple difficulties

      While I do prefer Intense mode, partly because I like using debug for perfect ivs, the first two gym battles feel insanely challenging if you don't have the right pokemon.

  9. Welp, here I thought Valarie would be the big wall. And, well, she was, but 2 Mon changes fixed that. Now I'm gonna need to build a whole counter-team for an even bigger wall.

  10. To be more specific, you get Garchompite at the very end of the Starter Egg sidequest, alongside the Shadow Ball TM.
  11. I think it's more likely they simply decided to split up. Likely the MC is with Huey, Lavender and Reina back in GDC searching for clues about Rune while the rest of the gang is doing...something else. Besides, these three definitely need some time to catch up about each other, so I don't blame them. Either way, looking excellent as always! Little concerned about Sariah and Mosely, though I guess in the former's case it's more just remembering the latter's bad reputation. Also really liking Goldenleaf's new look.
  12. 18 recorded battles and 15 hours of gameplay later, I have finally gotten my second badge in Rejuvenation Intense. I definitely don't remember it being this slow, though I guess it is early-game so it is justifiable.

    I do have a question, though: Is it worth for me to record the Virtual League sidequest? Or would those not be worth recording for an "All major battles" playlist?

      speaking of shameless promotions,  you should try and play this run, using the  MKXP port i made for rejuv.    deletes lag and  delay when using moves

      Will give it a try. Thanks.

      Okay, so after testing it out and talking it over with said friend, decided that the best way to record the battles would be to use the MKXP client, but without Fast Forward. Fast Forward makes things go by way too fast for a recording.

       

  13. A friend has asked me to make a playlist of all major battles of Rejuvenation Intense mode. Honestly, I might as well do it. Sure I will suffer horribly, but it's as good an excuse as any to refresh my memory on the story content as it's been well over a year since I did non-v12 content. No challenge/Monotype, though. Just a simple run on Intense and maybe Set mode. Might want to see about finding Debug if only to cut down significantly on level grinding, but that is a formality.

      The Geara and Zetta fight broke me. So if you get past that, kudos.

      The Geara/Zetta got nerfed a little bit to not be as merciless as before. Still pretty torturing though.

      Well, I have started and have already made the first battle recorded. About a few hundred more to go.

  14. Hm. Will there be a way for players to gain any missing cells that they might have missed in East Gearen before the renovation? Furthermore, will there eventually be a late-game item that reveals the locations of missed Zygarde cells? Because I would imagine that it would get infuriating when someone ends up getting all but 1-2 cells and has to scour everywhere for the ones that were missed.
  15. If a Pokemon is holding an Adrenaline Orb and they block the intimidate attack drop via an ability like Clear Body, the Adrenaline Orb does not trigger. According to Bulbapedia, the Adrenaline Orb should trigger even if the attack drop is blocked by Clear Body etc. Replication of this bug is simple: Have a Metagross with Clear Body hold an Adrenaline Orb and use it against a Mon with Intimidate. Issue persists in version 18.4.
  16. Hm...maybe I might. I hope it's not a decision I end up regretting.

  17. Okay, I admit I was not expecting that. So either Act 3 will be really short, or v15 and v16 will be very lengthy in order to stretch out the content to a reasonable length. Guess we'll see. Either way, thanks for finding and showing me the official answer to this.
  18. First of all, I would like to preface this with two things. First of all, I am not going to bother with spoilering story moments or anything, so proceed at your own risk. Furthermore, it has been a bit of a while since I last played the game proper, so I might misremember or forget a few details. So, from what I could gather from previous conversations/gatherings, Rejuvenation's plot has been aimed to have a three-act structure, each one having a main unifying link connecting it. The first act's main act has been, from my understanding, Team Xen and their hunt for Melia. Sure, ther
  19. Been considering getting back into the games here, but not sure if it's worth me rejoining the community itself, especially the Discord.

    1. Scyl

      Scyl

      ... Why would you need to rejoin the community?

      Many people play these games anonymously.

      Ex: I'm not even in the Discord.

      Einstein once said, "if ya choose ya homies correctly, ya gonna have a hecc'n good time"

      Except he didn't say that.

      But as Lincoln once said, "donut believe everything quoted on the internet, cause chances are it's BS"

      Idk where I'm going with this but maybe have some candy and forgib me smol brain 🍭

      I dunno, guess part of me just wants to share my experiences. And...not sure what the second comment was about.

  20. Completing the Castle Zygara sidequest via letting Karrina do her thing and then not pushing her off doesn't reward you with the Mega Stone. It could be because it might not detect the Mega Stone obtained from Hidden Library 3 if you completed it in V11, but regardless, it means you don't get a reward.
  21. Pretty sure you are not supposed to step here. Furthermore, I believe it was already reported, but the key is missing to advance forward.
  22. So, thought I'd take a look on how things are going here while still avoiding the Discord.

  23. I can't be the only one that wants a (Non-PMD or PMD-like) Pokemon game that focuses more on Pokemon rather than the humans. Often the Pokemon just feel like an afterthought with the exception of the region's requisite Legendary.
