There's only one QoL change I need. Without said change, I won't be able to finish the game ever.

 

 

For the context, here's a picture of my cat. The name's Lixy (French for Shinx). I love it as much as you can possibly love your pet. For that reason, I cannot morally give a Luxray away for that stupid quest. Rest is under spoiler if you don't know which quest I'm talking about.

So here's my request: later in the game, even in postgame, let me go back to 7th Street to grab Type:Null. Someone else did the terrible things. I just come back, capture him, and make him forget about its past by making him happy enough until it evolves.

 

oh shit that cat is very cute

i will take it under consideration

I don't give a shit about any of those features, because you confirmed that you think of us dumbasses living with an internet so fucking slow that 15 MB less is a whopping 30 secs save. THANK YOU, from the bottom of my heart.

it took a second for me to parse this, but i'm glad you appreciate it!

Yeah, you probably are. And this is 100% the reason this game is taking so long to finish... 

but by ARCEUS do we love you for it~

so that's definitely not the case. there are, thankfully, devs who are not me who are still doing things.

I love all of this (and you) very much!

one question - is the in-battle evolution still easily cancellable? just thinking of a few cases where you don't want it to occur (like getting the wrong eeveelution or something)

should be! and if it's not, then that's a problem

These look great, some additional personality for the centers is appreciated.

-Anna and Lin are two halves of one whole body

-Lin and Ame are actually in cahoots; Ame's death was either staged OR her death was planned between them for some sinister purpose

-Bysbyxion Wasteland will turn into a grassland as part of the Shaymin quest

-At some point in Labradorra, we will have all our mons/items taken away, and we must sneak past Meteor Grunts to get them back, a la Chrono Trigger

so none of these are actually correct, but i like them.

boxbison is a neat idea, and we were thinking about doing something like that, but redoing the whole wasteland is just.......too much.

yup.

Lin is a dirty unaware block toxic recover recycle leppa berry pyukumuku user who deserves to be damned to burn in the eternal lake of fire of hell for all of eternity for her sins.

the first part of this is absolutely true.

she doesn't do it in game, but, like, she definitely would.

On 1/30/2022 at 9:33 PM, OOFMAXIMA said:

Lin is somehow connected to Fern and Florinia, judging by Fern's willingness to join Team Meteor (could just be tomfoolery) and the cold calculating personality she shares with Florinia. Could be familial, perhaps.

not everyone with green hair is related!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

it's way more likely she's julia's sister, anyway.

the entirety of pokemon reborn is happening inside of heather's imagination (she wants adventure, not daddy issues)

don't worry, she gets a solid boost from new early game

Two days ago, at Reborn Inc Headquarters:

 

- Hey we still didn't figure out how to wrap the story up, any idea?

- Let's ask the players what they expect, we can steal their ideas and make them think they "guessed" it right!

- That's not nice though, poor players

- Well give them a T-Shirt or something, whatever makes them feel better

pls. game's finished, i just don't want to write a post.

so here's your t-shirt. theory's wrong.

Out of curiosity, will Ice Beam be sitting there if I haven't completed the dex quest but HAVE done the 300 mon reward?  Cause that applies to me.  Just wanna make sure I'm not missing out on ol' reliable 90 BP ice coverage

yes! you'll be fine.

[the hype train hits lightspeed]

So if I understand this correctly, completing the entire pokedex is the only way to get Ice Beam?

oh! no. it's at 300.

i'll update that.

I thought so, too, at first, but then I noticed something. 

Look at the size of Lucia. They are approximately one tile in width. 

Now look again at the dive section and compare the size of one dive tile. 

From my point of view, the dive sections are much smaller than the rock sections on top. 

EDIT: Made a drawing. 

we love our panoramas in the biz

Ahem ok....what you're implying is let's damage a somewhat important part of the backstory (along with consistency) for...what? Monoruns? For you maybe it's fine, maybe you like Reborn for other aspects, the main reason I like it is for the story so yes it kinda irks me...

there's a guy who trades you a delibird.

some monorun passwords will change specific event mons.

it'll be ok.

The sidebar is referring to postgame stuff which has been played by about 2 people so far and in its un-nerfed state was absolutely not a good balance of fun vs difficult. Obviously there are going to be people who prefer that to lean more to the difficult scale, but we are balancing for the average target difficulty of the existing game. We are also keeping those people who prefer difficulty in mind via passwords and making nerfs that said passwords are going to be able to, themselves, revert for a given playthrough for full intensity.

Are the locations of certain mega stones going to be changed? Like are some low tier ones like banetite and altarianite going to be made available sooner and stuff like houndoomite getting pushed back?

 

also are the team meteor playing cards still in stock or are they limited edition?

time for merch!!

The thing I'm taking issue with here is 80% your attitude.

oh, sure. stringing the two quotes together was a bad move. it's way more harsh than i meant, and i did it out of laziness- i still trimmed the original quote, but i definitely should've done it more. it's also derailed the hype train a bit.

 

edit: i'm just going to hide the original.

I kinda see the point of Gentleman Jaggi here. I mean, sure, the story is huge and surely has alot of potential to bring many more other characters. But why now? Why so late? Can you see his point of view? 

sure! and i admit that i likely came off a little too harshly in my original comment ("every once in a while some asshole would show up and bitch about it.") since i was trying to preserve the original quote. this is certainly not nearly as bad as some of the other shit i've seen, and i think that in avoiding writing more i've made the situation worse.

 And yet the devs seem to think the problem is that there wasn’t ENOUGH bloat!

but this gets a yikes from me, dawg.

i'll just ask that there's a little bit of faith that maybe this won't be the worst thing imaginable.
