I believe the Crawdaunt line has been either axed or moved back b/c I haven't seen any fishing spots in the V10 Wispy Ruins or in Akuwa Town
-
Aye I see you w/ dat House Stark sigil as your profile pic @Ethan Hunt
1. Charlotte - she's strong, brave, and has a good heart underneath the tough exterior + she has my bro Volcarona. I agreed with her 100% on the whole Ruby Ring scenario as well.
2. Shade - I'm really intrigued with how Shade is possibly connected to Anna and Noel. Ghost is one of my top 5 favorite types as well
3. Shelly - She's really sweet and intelligent and it's encouraging to see her grow up and start standing up for herself
4. Radomus - Pretty chill dude and definitely preferable over his counterpart El during that one arc regarding the grand gates
5. Titania - While she could chill with the murdering of Team Meteor grunts*, I mostly agree with her utilitarian methods and brutal honesty. I also really like Steel types and especially Aegislash. The resemblance to Erza Scarlet from Fairy Tail is pretty dope as well.
6. Hardy - He's probably the most chill and laid-back dude in the game, so it's nice to have a break from the angsty/emo characters every once in a while (I actually love how dark and serious Reborn is for the most part, don't get me wrong). Him standing up for Aya to Fern is really sweet, plus I'm sure we can all relate to his disdain for Fern. Not enough screen time of him, so he could easily rise to the top by the end of the game but then again I also really liked Amaria until I discovered that the Reshiram path existed in E17 so who knows.
7. Luna - Another excellent character that hasn't gotten enough screen time. She reminds me a bit of Luna Lovegood from Harry Potter, mostly due to the name. The Alice in Wonderland nicknames for her Pokemon are pretty dope as well. Also, I like how despite being associated with an "evil" type, she's actually pretty kind-hearted and laid-back. I hope she can continue defending herself from Bennet's peverted, creepy advances .
8-17: Literally everyone else except Amaria and Terra
18. Amaria - I'm pretty sympathetic to those who struggle with depression/anxiety due to my own battles with these, but attempting to drown the protagonist is where she crossed the fucking line. Water is my favorite type and I actually really liked her from the start to throughout the entire Zekrom path (I really felt bad for her when she learned that Titania didn't really love her). If the Reshiram path didn't exist, she'd probably be my 3rd favorite gym leader just below Charlotte and Shade. But the Reshiram path showed how awful she really is and I don't understand how some people try to romanticize her as some kind of heartbroken tragic heroine (which, to be fair, would've been accurate in the Zekrom path) instead of an immature, manipulative attempted murderer* who very well could join Team Meteor next episode
19. Terra - Yup, she's so damn annoying that she's below the attempted murderer. She's just way too cringe for me when she goes overboard with her RAWR xD type of humor. I wouldn't be surprised to learn if Ame had a fallout with Terra's real-life counterpart b/c that's how unlikable Terra's character is.
*Now, I understand why some people might be confused as to why I like Titania and dislike Amaria despite the fact that Titania has a much higher kill count. I don't necessarily agree with Titania's killing, but at least her reasoning is to protect humanity from a terrorist organization. Amaria attempts to murder someone (the protagonist) who has been protecting the world from Team Meteor for no justifiable reason.

Honestly imo Reborn would be much more challenging if item use was disabled in-battle for both sides (ex: the Reborn Hardcore mod made by Commander)
1) No +2 boosts from x-items, which do not require sacrificing a moveslot and potentially break certain mons who are balanced by lack of setup capability
(ex: imagine a +2 SpA Greninja or Gengar behind Aurora Veil, who have amazing STAB, coverage, and speed tiers but are balanced b/c they can't normally break through certain walls)
2) No revive spamming
3) When the AI decides to use a healing item, that's a free quiver/dragon dance for you.
(While you could argue that healing items are barely any different from Roost/Recover, I'd say this makes a huge difference if your opponent uses a turn to heal a wallbreaker like Tyranitar or Gardevoir instead of firing off a last powerful attack that could deter you from setting up)

The Union ID badge isn't showing up when I use the itemfinder in Chapter 1. Anyone else having this problem?

^RT what @Personthing aka All Might said

Anyone else having issues with the EV reducing berries or getting hidden abilities from the ability capsule?

Oh darn I guess I can't get a Lanturn then either :/
For what it's worth, you can get dive in V10, which indicates that it is likely that V11 might have some dive locations - Lanturn is a common underwater ecounter pokemon in the mainline games.
If you don't mind me asking, where did you get Gengar in Rejuv V10? @towee I'm really hoping it's early b/c I wanna start a new Rejuv run with either Swampert or Primarina as my starter
-
You could go to the scientist dude in East Gearen who lets you re-live the Goldenwood incident and other events with Shadow Pokemon
btw I love Lanturn too
-
For me at least, I have mad respect for Cal's acceptance of his flaws and willingness to change for the better @M4RC
Now I don't understand how anyone could like Amaria after seeing the Reshiram path unfold - E17 spoilers below
SpoilerEven I, who also knows all too well the struggles of depression and whose favorite pokemon type is water, can't sympathize with her after she tried to fucking drown us and then try to tell Titania she had nothing to do with it all because she blames us for her breakup with Titania
-
I don't have a most favorite, but my top 5 are Shelly, Cal, Charlotte, Anna, and Taka
-
Golurk is one of my favorite pokemon and I feel like it's overlooked b/c it's not viable in competitive and is from Gen V
Mr. Mime was my go-to psychic type in FRLG when my friends were in their "I'm too cool for pokemon" phase so I couldn't evolve my Kadabra. Also ppl think Mr. Mime is creepy/too humanoid but I think they're pretty cool.
Spheal is one of my top 3 "most adorable" pokemon along with Eevee and Ribombee
Also I'm seconding Tropius and Emolga as already mentioned. Tropius has a pretty dope concept as a giant grass type dinosaur and Emolga was clutch against both Corey's Crobat in Reborn and Valarie in Rejuvenation
-
Mad respect for choosing Swampert - he's tied as my #1 favorite Pokemon and is my favorite starter despite what my username suggests
Aces will take the first slot (it's usually the starter but there are 2 exceptions)
1) Kanto (LeafGreen)

2) Johto (SoulSilver)

Yo I just wanted to say a sincere thank you for your amazing efforts in developing this amazing Pokemon fangame and especially these two most recent episodes (V9 and V10). When I first heard about Rejuv, I was worried this game might just be an inferior version of Reborn but everything from the plot, aesthetics, characters (except Ren and Amber :/ ), and battles/difficulty of Rejuvenation are unique and amazing in their own right while still maintaining that Reborn charm that Ame and her dev team worked so hard to develop for Reborn.
So far, there have been so many memorable moments, such as stepping foot into the beautiful Goldenwood forest and the ensuing Team Xen invasion, my first win against Valarie (imo by far the most difficult battle out of both Reborn and Rejuv), getting Litwick from the Dimensional Rift Chandelure sidequest, motherfucking time travel, the entire Blacksteeple prison break arc, and many more. I'm definitely psyched for more moments like those in V11-onwards, but of course you all deserve a break for as long as needed. Besides, Reborn Episode 18 is right around the corner (I think) and that can keep most people on the forums busy for quite a long time so I think y'all are good for a while.
@Jan @Zumi (and everyone else on the Rejuv dev team, I will try to learn you all soon!)

Having a mother that is active in both our lives and the plot.
It's a unique feature that Reborn, Desolation, Insurgence, and the mainline games really lack. I really felt like our in-game mother genuinely cared about us despite her unknown status as a real human (see dialogue with Crescent). Having her be a skilled fairy type specialist trainer is pretty dope as well and adds to her heroism.
SpoilerHer death at the hands of Madame X made me feel some type of way emotionally, which almost never happens from any pokemon game. The nature of her sacrificing her life as well as sabotaging Team Xen show just amazing her character is.
-
Well this looks pretty dope!
On a side note, that looks like the New World field file in Reborn's folder

Congrats, that must be quite a relief

Hey where is the day care center? And how many gym badges do I need to access it?
-
idk if this is still a thing, but out of the given choices I'd like to vote for Milotic to receive a mega (preferably Water/Fairy but Water/Dragon also makes sense thematically)
-
Oh I see, sweet! Reborn E17 and the upcoming Rejuv/Desolation updates should keep me busy until then
-
Does the current upload have the post-Champion story? And is the next wave of move animations from Reborn in too?
I'm looking forward to the later parts of the game

Thanks. I think I'm okay right now. I haven't experienced any pain since the accident, and my week has been improving after it.
I've always imagined that it must be really scary to drive, since car accidents can be brutal. And you could be doing everything right from your end, but could still get hurt or worse because someone else wasn't paying attention to the road (that's what happened here, the one who caused the accident admitted it herself) or was drunk. I think it would be neat if cars could be made of soft and squishy material so that an accident wouldn't hurt anyone. Maybe someday someone will figure out how to do that. Fortunately, this accident wasn't so bad.
My plan for now is to keep working on Spork until it's complete. I worry about what could happen in the future, so I'd like to do as much as possible just in case. I'm also really excited to be working on the lategame content - I've found that the further in I get, the more enthusiastic I am about working on Spork. I think I'm gradually improving in a few areas, and it's satisfying to see more and more of what I've planned being made.
USUM spoiler
The Ultra Necrozma battle was a lot more difficult than I was expecting. At this point I had four Pokemon which were around level 58-60, and 3/4 of them fainted to it. Having all of its stats boosted at the start felt a little excessive, but it's close to how I imagine a battle against a legendary to feel like. I also like its battle theme.
There were things I liked and didn't like about Rainbow Rocket.
Liked:
-The castle is one of my favorite enemy bases/hideouts in Pokemon so far. The puzzles were fun and the grunts were entertaining.
-Some of the remixes for the team leaders are really nice.
-The scene with Guzma and the two grunts XD
Didn't like:
-Giovanni at the end, where after acknowledging your talent he wonders what world he should try his schemes in next. I know that Giovanni is a power-hungry kind of villain and not someone like Archie and Maxie who try to make the world a better place but have misguided means of doing so, and Giovanni would be harder to convince to stop because of that. But it still felt disappointing.
This makes more sense if it's the Giovanni from the world where he succeeded than the one who lost to Red, because I feel like the Giovanni who lost to Red would become broken after having his team defeated for a third time. Whereas if this is the Giovanni who hasn't failed until now, he would see this situation as the exception rather than the rule. But it was still a really one-dimensional ending for his part in the game. It feels disappointing to me when villains don't change at all after their defeat, which applies to Faba as well.That's good to hear
I'm really hyped for a potential Battle Frontier
USUM Spoiler
SpoilerUN: Agreed. Luckily, my Klefki Paralyzed UN and then my Volcarona eventually KO'd it with Z-Bug Buzz. Dope ass music, I heard GlitchxCity might remix UN's theme and if so I hope at least one out of Reborn, Rejuv, Desolation, or Spork uses it.
Team RR: I enjoyed the challenge but I also feel a lack of closure tbh. This arc was where I realized Naganadel is OP xD

I hope things improve for you @Ice Cream Sand Witch - car accidents can be traumatizing both physically and mentally. While I'm as eager as anybody for the next Spork update, I totally understand if you gotta take a few weeks off. We're all human, and it's pretty clear you've been working pretty hard.
This whole Net Neutrality debacle has got me fucked up as well :/
Anyways, hopefully get better on your end! You can DM me if you need to vent, I'm pretty good at keeping secrets but I'm sure you'll be ok anyways.
P.S. (USUM Spoiler)
SpoilerWhat did you think of the Ultra Necrozma battle and Rainbow Rocket from USUM?

[OUTDATED - CHECK PINNED TOPICS] V10 - Rejuvenation Bug Reporting Thread
in Pokemon Rejuvenation
Posted
Bugs found from restarting from the beginning for V10:
1) I can cross lava without the Magma Drift TM if I have beaten Angie + have the correct Golden item. I could've skipped restoring the TM shop in Krystalline if I had wanted to.
2) In the Amethyst cave, the Golden item for Rock Climb does not work even when I have the correct gym badges. However, my Lycanroc can use the Rock Climb TM just fine
3) Crawli's Escavalier kept using not very effective moves against my Mawile after I got to +2 from Iron Defense, despite the Escavalier having the super effective Drill Run
4) When put to sleep, my pokemon still use up 1 PP worth of moves despite still being fast asleep. This only applies on the first turn of sleep, however.
5) After choosing the Flora path over Florin or Erin + leaving to rendezvous with Florin and Erin, sometimes the cutscene doesn't activate and I had to walk back and go into the Florin ladder down to get the correct cutscene to appear
6) Anytime after switching from V9/earlier version, as soon as I upload V10 I receive AP points for the "Tired Feet" achievement. I only switched to V9 to catch Corphish before Blacksteeple but I tested this theory out by switching back and forth from V9 multiple times and I was wrongly awarded for AP points for achievements that I had already completed.
