Just finished the demo, and my only nitpick after what everyone else said is that the scenes where the girl is being attacked with scissors kinda started to drag. It took something like fifteen turns to get to her, and having to watch both that animation and the cart going around every single time got tiresome. I get the idea, but maybe just have it repeat at certain intervals, with just the dialogue normally instead. So you'd see how many turns were left a few times, but not have to go through the entire window each time. Also, you can use magic? I finsihed the demo and didn't notice that at all.

Eggs are set at the beginning of the game. They don't change.

Okay so, I don't actually know anything about how Macs work. Best guess is that backups aren't enabled for why only old saves show up with the names though. I gather from a couple of google searches though that if you search through the wine thingy you should be able to find the right file. If that's what you did to get the ones you mentioned above they might be right. You might want to try temporarily moving them one by one to see which one is your right save file though.

Hmm...okay, I'm not sure what's going on. Are you on a system that's not Windows?

I don't think you're in the right folder. The only .ini file I've encountered is in the Pokemon Reborn folder, which is not the right place to be. What you need to do is go down into your PC files to an address that looks something like this: C:\Users\user\Saved Games\Pokemon Reborn Your save files are in there. Just copy these files to get your save data onto another system.

They've literally done that. Gen III had no day/night mechanics after Gen. II introduced them. There's a difference between the terrains, which as noted are little more than slightly tweaked weathers and not full on field effects as you seem to mean. And also as noted, weather is has barely been changed since Gen. III. They've added almost nothing on that front save changing the way that the abilities work and the primal stuff. And the way abilities work was only tweaked becaue of the way they had been totally dominating everything the Generation before.

I doubt it. 90% of new features in any given Pokemon game will be dropped the next generation regardless of whether they were a good idea or not. Implementing effects on a battle based on where you're battling is a super cool idea, and one which brings new applications of both Pokemon and moves that aren't useful in general battles. As such it would require GF to exert a modicum of effort, which they never, ever do. In other words, it probably won't be kept around or deepened.

Scyther. I am not a patient person by nature in games (ironic since IRL my patience has been described as borderline infinite), so having to keep encountering Pokemon until one finally showed up was terrible. Also Shroomish.

They're not. Froakie is okay in the early game, but not great. Its not until mid-late game that Greninja gets really powerful. Its not bad by any means, but compared to Speed Boost Torchic its not great. Other good options would be Charmander for Dragon Rage+Flame Burst, Mudkip for the excellent ground typing (though with the caveat that it will be a long time before you get a good Water STAB that runs off physical attack, Chimchar, and Fennekin.

Nah, people can be jerks. They sometimes don't mean to be, but it still happens. Don't apologize for getting upset when someone is mean to you, people getting used to it is part of why it gets ignored when they see it elsewhere. I'm not on the Discord server, so don't know any specifics, but are you still stuck?

It’s not. There are lots of ways to beat Serra. I never change fields for personal challenge reasons, but her field has other weaknesses. The biggest one being that Nature Power, which you got from Florinia, becomes Mirror Shot on her field. And on the Mirror field that attack reflects off her mirrors and hits her Pokemon anyway. And that’s just one example. Every battle in the game has plenty of ways to beat it built in. You just can’t bullrush in without thinking though. Honestly IMO Serra could use a buff...

The Pulse-2s shouldn’t be given to the player because they are a solution to a fundamental problem in the game. Namely that the player has a near infinite array of tools to use against the AI that the AI can’t answer. Being able to use any kind of Pokemon, being able to switch freely between rounds, infinite item use, and an actual brain. You the player always hold all the cards, it’s just a matter of working out how to use the tools you already have. The AI needs some kind of counter to that, and the Pulse 2s provide a way to make the AI Pokemon something that need to be approached differently than normal. Giving us yet another tool to be turned against the poor AI would be IMO counter-productive.

I had played a couple of fan games before, but the emphasis on big numbers for difficulty was an annoyance since I do not like grinding. Someone on another forum suggested checking this game out, so I did and liked it. I like it. The field effects provide a much needed shake-up to the otherwise kinda tired battle formula and also allow Pokemon and moves that are otherwise rather bad to be used effectively. Nature power immediately comes to mind since it’s entirely dependent on field effects in this game. There’s a story? That’s an exaggeration of course but does match my general motivation. I have read the story of course and enjoyed it for the most part but my interest is in the interesting and challenging battles primarily. I don’t care. Cain irritates me, but for reasons independent of being queer.

It’s a low-level weapon that’s outclassed by most other weapons in the game, can’t be smithed above flawless without exploiting Bethesda’s oversights, and has a bad habit of being more irritating than helpful against the one enemy it’s designed to slay (the undead) since the explosion also blows whatever items happen to be around them away.

Favorite game was Skyrim. Oblivion’s leveled enemies made it unplayable, and Morrowind is so unnecessarily complicated I’ve never bothered to make it far past the first town. I tend to play a battlemage, so spell in one hand and either mace or shield in the other. Favorite NPC was Serana. I have so many mods installed that I can’t even begin to narrow it down. Most of them interact with one another and I’m kinda afraid of changing anything at this stage lest my whole house of cards crumble. Imperial to the core alignment-wise. Favorite weapon is the Dawnbreaker. Shame it sucks in the base game.

I see no particular right on Corey's side. The reasons why are spoilers for later in the story. Also doesn't help that Heather is easily the most powerful trainer there at that point in the story, and the fact she didn't stomp Corey flat then immediately do the same to Taka and ZEL is kinda heascratchy.

So uh...you didn't find all the police officers? Heather's completely in the right.

Not really. Fern at least has the excuse of being a stupid teenager who might grow out of it. Snape was a grown man who still got his rocks off bullying children, to the point one of them was more terrified of him than literally anything else. The man had no redeeming characteristics.

You'll be boxing Kricketune by the time you fight Corey so don't worry about it. And coincidentally that's the point at which Galvantula would listen to you anyway (if you bump it down a level after evolving it anyway.) And it would probably be great for Shelly.

Noibat. It’s too weak to really be used early in the game. Now once it’s evolved it’s a different story, but it grows too slowly and evolves too late. I’ve never used Joltik so can’t speak to it.

There’s a Kricketot you can grab in one of the buildings just before the part under the bridge. Make sure it has its Hidden Ability and it can easily carry you to about the third gym.

That wouldn’t really count though since you’d still be alive at the end of Episode 19. And it’s not good for drama in any case for death to be something you can walk off.

If it happens to Fern doesn't that count as a happy ending? Same with Sigmund, Sirius, Zero, or Solaris. The player can't die during the events of the game, because if they did there wouldn't be a point in doing a post-game. Bit hard to take part in the Battle Tower or chase down the legendaries if you die or blink out of existence.

So...17th gym IIRC. Its a megastone.
