  1. After just defeating

    Spoiler

    Crescent

    ,I cannot see anything after the dialogue scene with the other characters, but for whiteness. I'm still in Zeight. Everything just stays white. I can still move around and hear bumping noises, and open the game menu, but nothing else.

  2. It has been a while, but I must post this little tidbit again (I think I posted it like... last year or even two) for my own sanity's sake. It won't die until it is written.

     

    I think Melia is Meloetta. this is how Zetta was possible. His entire character is part foreshadowing and also hinting at what Melia's purpose and potentially her ultimate fate will be. her character will die, which honestly would suit well for the fandom, given how much a split she is between being loved and disliked. A tragic death to increase tension. Her "death" might also be an action that results in Maria being restored, or whatever remains to become Madame X. It is all still up in the air, but the name just seems to scream it to me, and also that important info drop from evil Gardevoir regarding how Meloetta's song was needed to access the Archetype. And even how the reason they bothered with Anathea was to get Meloetta.

     

    Perhaps there is a weird swap going on.

     

    And as for Marianette, I am still reading some earlier posts on that theory. But I LOVE the idea of her being a new "set" or "singular Archetype" child.

     

    Could also it be that Anathea is indeed Meloetta? we still do not have the explanation of why she has a keyhole mark on the back of her neck. Sounds like she's definitely a kind of... I don't know, container maybe.

     

    Also, that one mention of Huey being Lord Xenadin is.... interesting. I actually really like it. but somehow I feel like his story is done? The way the plot ties itself up with the Puppetmaster works well, emotionally, even if the logical expanations for how and why the ligosomnia machine came to be is kind of ridiculous. It still ended well there. It feels like his character arc is done.

     

    There was something else... oh yes, we do have the weird documents regarding the black haired children for Anathea. But what is so weird is that we see her in her memory of visiting an old witch friend about the love spell that attracted Vitus. Herh air was black. This is indicating that maybe the Archetype... didn't actually create the 4 siblings as we are being told. But instead there was a kind of unsealing and then the power was granted.

     

    From what I can tell, the multi timeline thing doesn't make sense. It feels more like we are dealing with progressively layered RESETS. This is why we have the so-called "Third Layer". In this scenario, the original layer is probably the Garden of Eden story Nymeira retells. It is the true original story. But then things progressed far beyond that. And if we are having resets, it means the story elements and important events are repeating, but with continuous alterations, likely from a deteriorating condition for the reset (likely Vitus each reset inching closer toward ultimate victory). Team Xen are probably trying to be an Interceptor existence that alters this. I won't even try to justify Clear and Keiran because I don't see how their addition to the story does any good and only seems like a giant red herring distraction (though I suspect their timeline was the recent reset Third Layer, or something, and they are the only ones who got through it, and hope to maybe restore it).

     

    There's the prophesy too, stating that the heroes will reduce the establishment to a single layer of sand. Which does not sound quite right if we are talking about a government. Not after seeing a literal Third Layer that seems to paint pokemon as machines, which seems off from what is canon, though maybe Jan plans to explain pokemon as super nanological cyborg things or something. I honestly prefer simple magick version with the not-triforce. It fits better, especially with Reborn's completed story. And I suspect that we may get confirmation that there's definitely a different "story" or explanation for pokemon, in the Second and First Layers. Each of which are not the bedrock original, but like fresh pages with a revised version of the original story, are layered atop the first set of events.

     

    Ok, Imma stop myself right here. Save the final word that I am dead set on Marianette and Indriad being of the future reset, which would also explain Anju's existence and also her confused memories.

     

    Maybe I am not done. With God dead or split, it feels like all this could be explained simply as the dormant Arceus simply having a reoccurring dream, with variations on that dream. And it will just keep repeating, with all the myriad variations that don't make sense, Twilight Zone nightmare fuel style, until he is put back together again and rights time and space. Tiempa and Spacea are likely trying to do this in their own right, but are probably just superhuman rift-based pokemon and aren't proper Dialga or Palkia, at least not without losing sentience. Which may be why they're working for "the Queen"  or whatever. K, I'm done. There's too many factions involved and too many open-ended stuff with the timeline and multi-verse nonsense to try to make any of this coherent.

     

    But if we are dealing with an Alice in Wonderland situation, then it all may fit out of place nicely. And frighteningly if the Nightmare of Indriad gets his wish (or maybe he's just trying to end the dream itself period, which honestly might not be evil. It could allow an instant refusing of the Three pieces of Arceus. Which may be why he still hasn't given up, and why Nymiera "doesn't blame him".)

     

    Now I'm done.

  3. Is anyone willing to share with little old me how to mod E19 trainers? I have an eccentric taste for the original elite four battles in most games, and hate it if they are not satisfactory. It was my biggest gripe for the longest time with some of the mainstream games. Unfathomably, the Reborn Elite Four are easier than most of the gym leaders, with only one of them proving appropriately difficult.

     

    Now, I simply don't have time or desire to play through postgame, especially with all the puzzles. I'm sure they are amazing. I'm sure I'd actually love them if I gave them a chance. But real life doesn't want me to have time for that chance, and she is a harsh mistress and harsher lover.

     

    So, I want to ensure in my Zeckrom playthrough, and my eventual playthrough of the entire game, that the Elite Four are appropriately threatening for my masochist needs.

     

    I can't do that tho',  because I'm ignorant at most things programming, especially with the game engine.

     

    Anyone care to aid me in my quest for pAiN? To shine light on my bloodstained goal? Like, please?

  4. Many thanks! Hopefully I should encounter no more troubles, but I worry that I may. After all, one of these went wrong from the start, more could. Though until now I had no trouble, so perhaps I'll stay lucky with this save file.

  5. HELP!!

    Spoiler

     

    I am stuck in Victory Road. I have finished the emerald and sapphire puzzles. But honestly I am now convinced I've missed the simplest damn thing on earth, or the game is bugging on me and I'm softlocked from continuing. I cannot fathom how to proceed through the ruby puzzle. There is just no way to to access the crystals needed when necessary to progress.

  6. and at this point I don't think I can comprehend any of this puzzle. I am terrible at puzzles, but enjoy trying to challenge myself. But not this time, not this puzzle. And the more obvious it gets, the less I am apt to solve it at all without sinking days of time.

  7. 27 minutes ago, Lord Drakyle said:

    still trying to solve the puzzle? if so can you tell me how many traits it had that you need to consider? would help me know which one ya mean or if there is something specific other than traits you could mention like the NPC asking you to solve it

     

    Spoiler

    Radomus is asking.

     

  8. Spoiler

    Alright, I have neither the time nor the patience to waste on that terrifying puzzle. Its the one where Habit is added to the list of traits. Considering how long it took me to do the last one, I'm asking for help now. Otherwise I think I'm going to have to stop.

     

    (I can't rationalize the obvious. Writing stuff down sort-of helps but not much with these kinds of things for me.)

     

  9. Just a little vanity post, I guess you could call it, though more like memorial for me. My niece and nephew just finished our Reborn roleplay larp game. It was a ton of fun. They played from 2017 August to 2021 this year. . .

     

    It was quite the ride. We had some incredible stuff happen, like the adventure through the sewers after Team Meteor, which ended in being threatened by a pack of pikachu with knives, a giant pair of Muk playing catch with a massive Electrode... ah, I could go on.

     

    They suffered quite a bit during the last fazes of the game, right around entering Agate. In a way, their lives mirror now the Reborn characters. But it still ended grandly.

     

    So, in the end, Giratina was destroying Reborn. And after defeating an OC antagonist (an evil Pachirisu, of all things), we faced Lin within the last room of the Citadel de Astrae, floating in the darkened sky around an encirclement of millions of glowing gold and white Unknowns.

     

    The children really went all out with their theories regarding who, or what, Lin truly was. And upon watching her hook up the meteor to the Pulse Arceus, the whole finale seemed to come together really well for them. So we advanced to the last room. Elias' Mega Regigiggas was ripping the temple open to snatch us. His Supreme Dynamaxed shiny Ditto had already taken out all of our pokemon. Then Luna appeared and fought him so we could advance.

     

    There, in the last room, we found Lin lying broken upon the ground. And to our surprise, we found the Emerald broach, the Amethyst Pendant, the Ruby and Sapphire Rings (changed from the game to match a sapphire ring formed of a Dragonair), all placed upon the Final Door. Lin, upon closer inspection, was nothing but a puppet filled with metal wires... empty.

     

    Then, Luna appeared to reveal she was already working with the true master-mind of all this, and bids us adue and steps off into the advancing darkness as the world ended.

     

    At the other end of the door, stood none other than a certain familiar girl. Anna!

     

    "I'm sorry for deceiving you," she said, and then explained how the previous time, Giratina had stopped her before Arceus could be born, and thus destroyed everything. So she wished upon Nostra for three heroes to come to save the day in a new world. That world was now ending, and her plan was a success! My niece, nephew and me succeeded in, inadvertently, helping Team Meteor awaken Arceus in time. And then, at the last, she ordered Arceus to use its Judgement, and the world ended, to be Reborn.

     

    We woke up as three Ditto! In a new world inhabited only by pokemon.

     

    The last scene was my niece's infamous Gothitelle, which always knew our true fate, and would wink at us often throughout the game and, finger to lips, utter "shhh", walks by and winks a last time.

     

    We went through all our pokemon while listening to the Johto ending theme... it was so.., bittersweet. But also satisfying. I really didn't think we'd finish. A pair of two certain gym leaders had struck my niece very hard with their broken romance. And she lost all desire to finish the game. But now she's glad she did.

     

    Wow. 5 whole years. A momentous occasion. That's our second and probably final pokemon game we'll play. And I know when I do play the video game, I won't ever be able to separate it from the memories we made these past half decade.

  10. I agree with this. Having speed and HP open from the start gave at least some options and the ability to just work up the points with the AP was also fairly balanced. Having them removed just means more time spent, less real difficulty, though honestly taking EV training away is one of the things that I'd personally never do or recommend for increasing difficulty. Mostly because having to remove EVs later is such a hassle. Honestly, I'd not be so averse to it if we had a free, yes free, way of getting rid of ALL EVs until we had the opportunity to properly EV train. The whole EV system was something I never appreciated, especially in the OLD days of my childhood where it was hidden from players. Fan games like Rejuvenation have the opportunity to rid us of these old evils of tediousness.

  11. She was already formidable and intimidating enough for me to consider her final boss material but this... now she truly is a nightmare. There needs to be dialogue regarding her later about how traumatizing she is to the Interceptor and his friends... especially poor Ren. Though he tries to save her. And no way in hell would anyone want to save that monster. Killing it would leave anybody falling on their face in a state of exhausted and spent relief.

    Get a pokemon that has Wonder Room. It is still a very tough battle, but for the fifteenth badge, it is actually appropriate. In many respects, Saki is a litmus test for us to see whether we are paying attention to field effects and pokemon moves that actually work and synergize with the field.

     

    So basically, Glitch Field combines Special Defence and Special Attack, using the higher of the two stats. If I recall right. But Wonder Room swaps stuff around even FURTHER. I don't remember since I never would use Wonder Room otherwise, but I think it swaps Special with Defense. So Saki basically has a massive special attack boost. (Although I recall the beam move being physical in nature, so....)

     

    Either way, Wonder Room is what makes the fight crazy hard. And I actually almost beat her twice anyway (and would have won, had I either had revives the first attempt, or had 6 revives instead of just 3... so it is possible even with Wonder Room effect operating).

     

    So what I did in the end was to get my Beheeyem, which was Crested, to learn Wonder Room. I heard someone else used Golduck. Have the pokemon use Wonder Room once. This undoes the Wonder Room effect that starts right when the battle begins. That way, Saki's stats are normal for Glitch Field. This means her pokemon still hid harder than they should, but otherwise are not guaranteed to one-hit KO everything. It's still tricky though. She's definitely worthy of the fifteenth leader position... (I actually still think Erick and Valerie are harder though).

     

    Anyway... that's my two cents. It was indeed frustrating. I'm sure if you were cleverer than me, you could find some pokemon that benefit even more to the field and room effects better than her team, but it is better to just cancel the wonder room.

     

    One thing I do have to warn about is that Jan basically lies about Saki's team being slow. Lol. That Duraluadonerwahteveritiscalled is FAST. And her Megamind is faster....

     

     

  13. I think a lot of the perceived negativity is really more "there is this or that bug" that got past beta. But yes, the game really is amazing. And V13 overall was worth the wait.

     

    Spoiler

    I especially loved pretty much every single scene in Path 1. Path 2 was absolutely immersive and very, very epic. Path 3 ended amazing, and, considering how many loose ends it ties up and how much it ties together, was handled far better than I ever could have imagined. The scenes with Huey were very well handled and done perfectly. I always did like Huey and Lavender. Interesting that everything resolved in that particular part of the plot was established when we first enter GDC. Excellent foreshadowing and writing.

     

    I've complained about certain music choices, mostly the gym fight and a couple other fight music choices, but overall the new music is good. (Madelis' battle theme was like a character in itself and I always wanted to write a review for Rejuv since playing last year. Alas, that didn't get to happen. So I will mention it here.) Especially the stuff playing in Path 1 and 2. The third layer's soundtrack was on freaking point.

  14. Thanks!

     

    Also, an issue. I cannot seem to find the key that is now set to shift. And none of the new keys work with the pokedex search feature. . .

     

    Great to hear there is stuff about alternate forms in the dex entries that is planned. I really like most of the new designs.

     

    Though I have a new question about Aevien Musharna and Munna. They don't apparently learn any physical fairy moves? (I'd honestly go with making a balanced original move for them than just going with Play Rough. I really love how there's Aevium original moves and TMs. All awesome stuff!). And it also only learns Assurance... which is great for doubles but in singles is rather poor... or is this a glitch? (The move tutor simply does not have a list of any dark or fairy moves that are physical, and with Tough Claws, Aevien Musharna is obviously meant to be physical...

  15. Someone call Jan! He needs to know this! I am standing within Neo Gearen's pokemon lab, and it is raining. The Chansey is soaked! I need to use the PC, but I'm leery about turning it on with this downpour! The Nurse Joy and Staff act like this is totally normal!

     

    All joking aside this is a weird weather bug. Just thought I'd mention it...

     

    Currently in V13, and I have just

    Spoiler

    reached Gearen's rematch in Saki's Gym. He is beating me. So Imma go train some new mons. But imagine my surprise to learn that, apparently, the Laboratory is so derelict that it is letting rain in through the roof! Seriously!? Did Jan, Zumi and that Adrienne xellow not bother to renovate the place? Someone contact the repairmen! 

     

    I have not seen any other bugs like this so far, that I can tell. But I am only just now exploring Flora extensively. Hopefully I will not encounter any more issues. I do notice that trainers on Route 4 are fighting me "again", despite that I clearly beat them all waaaay back. This is my first save file, so I know I did it in this particular one... I guess this is really a minor bug. But it is present. And funny.

     

  16. Spoiler

    This is why Hazuki did what she did when confronting Aelita! This is the evil she claims her granddaughter has not seen!

     

    And the true reason Neved HATES Keta!

     

    And now we know where Cera gets her b*tch personality. Cella was just as bad, AAAAALLLL along!

     

    And now we know why poor Deagan has amnesia... he refused his brother's bad business proposal, and got sent over the cliff. That whole scene we watch in Where Love Lies is a LIE!

    Spoilers for those who have not completed the game. This... this revelation changes everything. This is THE plotpoint of V13.
