I'm actually asking if any of the sidequests we do like Lost camp and Badland Baddies, will have any impact on the plot, like how the Lunatone quest line introduced Alexandra early or taking out the Rift Gyrados gains affection with Melia.

Think we should finish any particular sidequests? you know like how the Hidden Library was actually plot relevant?

A lot of people are picking huh? poor souls. Hope Jan can fix it next patch.

Isn't one of Crescent's main goals trying to prevent some sort of disaster, presumably the one Team Xen is trying to do? Plus Madame X showed up, and she's clearly a time traveler with her own time travel macguffin, albeit unwillingly, considering Madame X was pulled into the future. So if Madame X was forced into the bad future, shouldn't Crescent at least have been pulled into the bad future assuming she's also a time traveler? i mean she should at least have a time amulet. If you recall, Crescent in the nightmare city, keeps muttering ''not much time left'' so despite her considerable power, she hasn't displayed any form of time travel aside from being a rogue member of Spacea and Tiempa's group, she does have dimensional abilities as she brings Ren to her office which is a sort of pocket dimension, and Crescent is most likely apprentice Nim's trainer who can also bring people to a pocket dimension. May i plug in my theory regarding the portrait? If you recall our breakdown after being called Adrest and going to that house, it appears we used to have a large group of friends, and the one we picked, is the one who survived whatever catastrophe happened, storm 9 or otherwise, i mean we know there are multiple souls in our body. It could be Crescent was a member of our friends, the other PC's were our friends, something bad happened and then present day. Lastly i would like to add that the house were we collapsed was near a cliff overlooking the sea, the purgatory we went to was a house near a cliff overlooking the sea, and Crescent mentions we used to live there in peace. I do apologize for the plug as it may derail discussion, but one must play with multiple choice options in solving a mystery sometimes.

We do different things, but the destination is still the same, i mean hypothetically speaking, Crescent should be able to at least know where we are heading and what we are going to do. Come to think if it, if you look closely at her dialogue in purgatory, it seems that she has some shock at us constantly disobeying her which would imply that this is the first time Rejuvenation's story is happening, but then she mentions us forgetting again, which implies a cycle of sorts like what you are suggesting. It is interesting to note, is that along with the group photo, there are individual photos of each PC which would really give your theory a boost as it implies an individual universe. Though again, given under your theory Crescent has failed repeatedly and she jumps, it begs the question as to why she doesn't interfere more forcefully. And another thing to note, is that Crescent doesn't appear during the bad future, it appears she doesn't have any time macguffin, which is quite a problem in your theory if she can jump between timelines.

Funny, i did add that to her Character page. Well the Mother aspect of Crescent is ripe for speculation and would serve to humanize her. Anyway, back to this, in a way, this sort of ties into the trading aspect of pokemon, where your pokemon can transfer between games, though ironically Rejuv won't have trading. Though i do have a problem with this theory, assuming she really is jumping in between timelines, she would know EXACTLY what we would do such as being in Goldenwood because of Jenner, trying to save Nim ETC, so why so doesn't try to change events more because she should know what would happen. And again, i'm most curious as to who the other PCs are to us, and if those souls in our head know who they are. Also if she does jump, that would mean there are multiple Crescents native to each dimension, wouldn't i?

I'm confused, why a Vaporeon specifically?

I don't feel like that's a wrench in my theory, Spacea and Tiempa. telling Melia they serve a higher power won't stop them from manipulating her. Hell assuming my theory is right, this is a stable time loop, and Spacea and Tiempa are training Melia to be Her Majesty who will eventually tell them to recruit Melia. So in a way you could consider that comment, Spacea and Tiempa giving Melia a hint. Also Griselda can't be giving orders because she was cast out or something.

Crescent really does act like a Mother, a manipulative, cold, and brutally pragmatic Mother, but a Mother nonetheless. I must wonder, why exactly if protecting us is her mission, why she doesn't just up front tell us? Or take a more forceful approach in not letting us adventure? Regarding this theory, If Crescent can jump across dimensions/timelines, then what happens to the Crescents of THAT timeline? Regarding the Portraits, here's the real eerie thing, is that a painting or is it a photograph? If it's a photograph, then we must have been in the same room as the other PC at some point, the implications are not pleasant.

Well Maria's pleas were really pitiful, so maybe Arceus picked her out of mercy and a way to interact with the material world? I was thinking more of an accidental merger but intentional could work too. Plus let's look at Spacea and Tiempa, they clearly represent Dialga and Palkia, with Griselda being Giratina, so Melia being Arceus in some form would neatly tie everything. The two also do mention they serve under Her Majesty, and seem REALLY invested in teaching Melia about the GREATER GOOD, so could this majesty be Melia of the future? GAH Time travel just invites all sorts of possibilities. I do note, that if my theory of Arceus and Melia somehow being connected is true, that would make her a good version of Lin from Reborn.

Most Gym's challenge really depends on their arena. But c'mon, a rigged arena AND raining? At least the time between episodes gives us time to get a team ready.

Here's a thought, What if Maria and Melia are different people in the same body? Remember, the prologue ends with Maria being sacrificed, what if somehow that process ended not killing her but somehow merged her spirit with Arceus? i mean it would explain her light based powers, and her affinity for Normal types.

Maybe the Puppet Master is Jan. It makes sense.

I think at this point we have to factor alternate dimensions, memory loss AND time travel, here's something i always thought was curious, Marianette after her Gym battle, regains her memory, and here's the screwy part, she remember Venam and us, so what if it's the other way around and Melia become Marianette? There is also the possibility that the Maria we meet in the past with dark Gardevoir is an alternate version and not just a past version. Let's not even go into those fan theories that state Madame X is future Melia, though Madam X's comment about her mother raises a few questions.

Did you try to save her from Kenneth during the bad future?

This might suck for the people who don't bother with the Zygarde cells. What? it's a terrible sidequest in Sun and Moon and it's a terrible quest here. But i will say that Zygarde does best represent us.

The plot thickens, Pokemon Rejuvenation has had a lot of mysteries, but i'm starting to feel like there are WAY too many mysteries at this point, like we still don't know what Team Xen wants, who the hell Maria is, who Crescent is, what the deal is with our mom, and the deal with the vaccines. Sure mysteries can keep the playerbase hooked, but it's starting to get stale, i'm hoping V12 will explain a lot, considering the title.

It seems alliance is the most plausible answer right now. Still the similar speech patterns is concerning.

This game hasn't been following the rules, like we got a gym badge from the Puppet Master despite Lavender being the real gym leader. Plus Saki is the only one of the group we haven't fought in an official capacity.

So think our next Gym leader will be Saki? My team is so prepared to take her on, i feel the Devs are going to somehow give her a broken field. I have a sneaking suspicion that Factory Field won't be her field, considering it's highly likely that she also had her mind messed with like Adam and Valerie.

That's a problem when writing so many characters, you don't have much chances to have some of them interact that much. Lorna's big reveal of her hatred of Melia sort of falls flat a bit because they interacted just twice. NIm's really just friends with us and MAYBE Aelita considering Nim saved her at Blacksteeple. That said, Nim's current predicament is really intriguing to me, but i'm worried Melia will take the spotlight unnecessarily because again, Nim and Melia haven't really interacted much, when most of the drama is between Nim and us, Alexandra and Damien, but mostly us. I attribute Nim's reaction to Venam with Crescent messing with her memories, if you look carefully, Venam seems to be confused as to what Lorna is referring to and honestly knowing Venam, i think she's mostly bluffing to knowing who Nim is, she at least recognizes her from seeing her statue. Venam is in a desperate situation, so i guess she was sort of playing along with Lorna's assertions in an attempt to pacify her.

Thanks. Looking forward to our eventual Gym battle with her.

What's the name of the song that plays when Saki shows up? Specifically the Trolley scene and the part where she destroys the Xen Wall in Valor mountain.

Yeah but Cosmia and Comet at the very least have been impersonating Nancy and us for quite some time, it's very possible they rigged this in advance under orders of Team Xen for whatever reason. Speaking of Team Xen, but at this point do they even want us dead? This may be off topic, but consider that Madame X has been forced to save us at least twice and that Team Xen could easily kill us in our sleep since the Cassandra knows we are there, i'm starting to wonder if Team Xen has a reason for us to keep living.

So, while waiting for V12, i was thinking we could all try to deduce who put our little group in the Tournament of dreams. Spoilers below. My top suspects are either Crescent or Amanda, Crescent is the manipulative sort as we all know and putting us in the tournament may be her way of guiding us in the right direction, and tampering with people is her specialty so editing some memories of the officials would be child's play Amanda is in a perfect position to put us in the tournament , as the Scout and co-manager of the league she has ample influence over anything that would involve the Aevium League, and this tournament's prize is an automatic 18 badge invitation to the Elite eight challenge. It stands to reason she could arrange this scenario, but on the other hand she has no motivation to do something like this and she only seems to just learn Melia was alive right before the Grand Ball blows up. Cosmia and Cosmet are other likely candidates, they can impersonate people and are working for Team Xen as far as we can tell, so they have the means and the motivation. Anyone else have any ideas?
