I think implementing core game mechanics too late in the game is an rpg no no, mega evolutions being implemented in the last patch, hell even the last couple patches is bad because while it does preserve difficulty. These fights aren’t really difficult past narcissa since you have a wide variety of Pokémon to choose from and essentially infinite rare candies with breeders. Mega evolution being added before narcissa would be op, but all of the gyms after that are largely irrelevant do to the breeders making experience a moot mechanic and you don’t really need to worry about making a well balanced team that you dedicate your exp to; When you can just catch the counter pick and train it in about an hour. A lot of the fan games that have mega evolution, have this notion that it should be added late into the game but by the time you get it, the player largely has little to use it on. They should honestly take a page from X and Y and give it to us early instead of Sun and Moon when there is little to do with it. It’s worse here because at least those games have competitive scenes but I doubt Rejuvenation is getting a meta and with this game’s dialogue heavy patches. The gym leaders and notable battles should be challenging and incorporate all aspects of the game by this point since trainer battles don’t actually matter anymore. (V10 only had like 4 notable encounters, Aelita rift, Souta, Vivian and, Kenneth some of which had mega evolution) Tl;dr I would say adding Z moves and mega evolution while using even more powerful field effects towards the end of the game would allow for more diversity and allow specific encounters to shine. Instead of all gyms being rendered to, go catch that Pokémon and run through, we should be given all aspects of game play, by at least crawli and be allowed to fend for ourselves using the tools we’ve been given. But that’s all my opinion. (Edit- if some mega want to be held for late game such as mega Salamance or mega metagross because of how op they are, that’s fine. But some such as Mega Audino don’t really need to be held back that long.)

My favorite part of difficulty is when gym leaders will take you somewhere to fight to give themselves a unfair advantage to their entire team. Yeah it’s not hard to deal with field effects but the very idea of braixen coaching Val to move to the cove or flora and florin taking you to a dark forest where it just so happens to be the only place in the entire forest raining amuses me.

Actually, what you can do is download a copy of V9 and just take the sprite sets from there and put them in the new version. it's super easy to do

Best bet

You could probably have her commission one for you

Tbh the Terajuma arc has a lot of problems in my opinion, I think some of the dialogue can be re done there. Also the nonsense that was amber putting off a gym battle until it was too late was pretty freaking annoying

I doubt it, i think souta would've told us that considering he knew we had business at the HoH. It'd be very strange if he sent us there without a warning considering Lavender was and is supposedly being held captive there.

Ah, welp my bad. Then

I'd say Act 1 ends with Valerie, Terajuma feels like it's own Arc and the battle theme changing kinda supports this. nitpick

I'd much rather be number 3 behind Cera and the lady herself. But Cera meeting anju will be interesting when it eventually happens

I'll be honest, im way more hyped for this then both Smash Ultimate and Let's Go games. i don't really care to much for let's go simplicity and I'm a casual smash player at best

Lady Angie is best girl 10/10, would betray the gang for her

“RENunion” not Reunion. He gave it away guys. I imagine ren will be our surrogate dark type obstacle since this game as of now has no dark type gym leader since Deagan died 10years prior.

Because mirror B had it in Colosseum

Yeah Rorrim has Mirror B’s exact team down to his shadow sudowoodo

You’re reading far to in to it, incineroar is a good choice, regardless of how you feel about it. Greninja was a ninja and now we have a wrestler, I’m sure any Pokémon could have been a better choice but that doesn’t mean what we got was a bad one.

I mean, hints aren’t facts, that just seems like an error in interpretation than an actual fault of Sakurai and his team.

Not to be rude but this sounds like someone complaining because they set their own expectations higher than what you got. Incinerator is a fine choice and I don’t even like the Pokémon, the plant is also very innovative choice too. Sakurai isn’t obligated to add any characters to this game nor should he be obliged to add the characters the community wants. Just be happy with you got because this games roster is phenomenal to the point where even the clowns have their own distinctions. We’re also getting 5 new dlc characters for the future.

i get the idea, i just don't know how dynamic the code is for that to work. but i also don't think it's super necessary either

Look for a debug menu, it’ll let you add it to the game

If rejuv gets a C&D im gonna die that day

mount valor, through the big gate. it leads to kurgearen city
