Hi Blue,

Here are a list with some bugs or weird issues I found while playing:

...

Also thanks for the access to a Daycare after being isolated on Agate Circus, and its shortcuts. Digging the new music, especially the Undernet main area, and exploring the new areas.

Hey :) Glad you're still enjoying it! :D

I've fixed what bugs I could reproduce, and some of the issues aren't bugs.

Slowpoke data on Wiki was incorrect. It is Fire/Psychic and gains Water typing from evolution.

Braixen -> Dread Delphox evolution is a reference to the trope of magician's apprentices being corrupted by forbidden knowledge, it is intentional that it is Fire/Psychic then becomes Fire/Dark.

The crashes when choosing a Bad EGG in Glitch World are intentional.

I ran out of time to investigate the Disguise bug. :(
The rest should be fixed in the latest patch.

Thank you for the reports! :D

How do I activate the debug menu. I have the debug mod installed but it is not working. I have seen stuff about turning it in through the options menu but it is not showing up.

Make sure you have Aironfaar's Mod Box for Additional Options. It appears here:

Hello!

First, I want to say that this mod seems so dope and all the different forms seems so creative.

I did download it to my reborn (update 18.4) and went through the steps on the first page. The problem I am encountering is that when i start the game, the game either shows the regular reborn game or the reborn altform game.

Meaning that when I start the game, and the 'opening' shows 'character' it says 'reborn arlform', but when there's another character in the opening it says 'reborn'.

Does anyone have any idea what that means?

Edit: Whichever 'opening' I choose to play on I am able to evolve a Venonat, holding a mind plate, into an alt form-Venomoth. So it seems it doesn't matter what type of opening one ecounter, but it still is interesting why the character at the start screen has such an effect.

Hi! I hope you have a good time playing it! :D

At the moment there is only one out of six title screens that is modified to indicate that it's Altforms. The game chooses one of the six at random!

As for why, I've been trying to decide what kind of title screen modification to make for Altforms, and it keeps slipping back in the schedule. I think the next big version, v0.7, will be a good time for it. There will be enough sidequests to form a theme. :) And from a theme, a symbol.

Hi there!

As this mod pack is for Reborn, I'm just wondering whether the sprites are public assets and if it's possible to use some of these sprites in a fan game I am making of my own as custom regional forms? I would be giving credit to the artists (based on the artist's name noted down in the Google Doc) of course, but just wanted to know if that would be ok?

Let me know!
Thank you!

Yes! Please credit the artists and where the art is from! If you can, please contact the artists to ask if it's okay to use their sprites as well. I can only rightfully give express permission for my own. :)

Hey

Just wondering if there is an updated excel spreadsheet for the new pokemon in this game? The last spreadsheet I downloaded (for pokemon locations) is for E18.1

Thanks so much for the new forms, seems interesting. I downloaded this alternative patch today and will see how it plays.

There's a list in the v0.6 patch notes for 8th gen Pokémon locations, but besides that there's the wiki which is slowly getting updated as I have time to do so. :)

https://pokemon-altforms.fandom.com/wiki/List_of_Alternate_Forms

https://pokemon-altforms.fandom.com/wiki/New_Areas

Have fun! :D

I'm generally finding less time to work on this right now, unfortunately. Between winter bills, the pandemic, Brexit and expenses to prepare for dealing with these, I'm not able to use my PC much. Production may be stalled over the season.

Hello! I've been loving this mod so much, and it's great every time I see any update on it

However, I seem to have a few bugs with sidequests (or maybe I'm just too advanced in the plot to do them, I already completed everything):

Hide contents

- The old guy in the Onyx Trainer School did appear in the pc room, but just tells me to have a good hunt even if I already make sure there are no more Monster Houses around.

- The Eevee event I think I started it back in another version of the mod, I didn't get to the second part, and now I restored the Railnet so I guess this is out of reach now

- The abandoned mine, at least after taking down its Monster House, is devoid of Pokémon (tried using Sweet Scent, and it displays the message) even when there's at least a Gen VIII pokémon, Duraludon, supposed to appear there.

- The Pokémon Box Link doesn't appear in Pokégear.

They should all be doable at any point in the story, but from different means.

Spoiler

There are 8 Monster Houses:
3 in Southwest Undernet,
2 in Eastern Undernet,
1 in Northern Undernet,
1 in Southeast Undernet,
1 in Abandoned Mine.

If you can't find the one you're missing, please send me your save and I'll find either it or a bug. :D

If you've missed Partner Eevee sidequest events, you can still access the final event after rebuilding the Railnet and getting Adrienn's badge by talking to Plater Sula in Neo Malchous Forest. (Although whoops, while verifying this I found a bug. If she's not working correctly for you, I'll get a new version out to fix it soon.)

I made a typo with Abandoned Mine. The encounters for it are accidentally down the waterfall in Southeast Undernet. I'll get a new version out to fix this next week, or sooner if more urgent bugs.

The Pokémon Box Link should appear in the main pause menu and be called Storage.

Hey so I’ve been wondering, how do you make the different forms. And if I wanted to make one, what would I do? And would it work it’s other games like rejuvenation?

You'd need to use RPG Maker XP to edit and compile the scripts.

You can add a new form for a Pokémon in PokemonMultipleForms in the scripts, check out Alolan Vulpix for a good example.

Then TM/MT exceptions are set in PokemonItems, to say which TMs and Move Tutors it cannot learn. Adding new TMs for a form starts in tm.txt in the PBS, which needs RPG Maker XP to Playtest and compile into the game. They're added by species.

It's slightly different in Rejuvenation - TM/MT exceptions are part of PokemonMultipleForms entries, not PokemonItems.

Besides that, you'd want to edit pokemon.txt in the PBS to add a form name for the Pokédex and mod compatibility.

For graphics, you add new ones to Game/Graphics/Battlers/ and Game/Graphics/Icons/ with "_formnumber" after the name, like 012_1 for an alternate Butterfree or 003_2 for an alternate Venusaur (_2 because _1 is Mega).

In addition to that, i really didn't understand what does the doors represent in the vanhanen castle. I really think that i am overthinking something, but for half an hour of trying to give meaning to the puzzle, i am just clueless. i know that

Hide contents

colors and the berries represent each of the eeveelutions, but i dont get what the "sequence" should even mean.

Good luck in the future updates,

It is meant to be a difficult puzzle, Partner Eevee is crazy strong, but making game difficulty just right is difficult too. I should probably put a Hatenna before the puzzle though... So I did.

Spoiler

There are two sequences to puzzle out: The corridor sequence, and the door sequence.
The colours of the corridors and the berry types hint at the corridor sequence.

The doors are trickier, they have no meaningful sequence, but there are four options as opposed to the eight corridors. A sound will play based on whether it was the correct one or not. Additionally, knocked over potted plants will suggest the direction of the next door.

The corridors and doors are mirrored as well. If you enter from the left and keep going left, you will eventually return back to the right side of the entrance.

Sounds good, I'll start working on the wiki and sorry to bother again but which menu does it get added to? I used the prompt from the PC in Isolated Farm but I don't see the option anywhere. Could you SWM or AIronFaar's mods interfere with it?

Edit: AIronFaar's debug menu mod seems to prevent the storage menu option from appearing. It isn't a huge issue since you can access the PC through debug but just thought I'd let you know. I was able to fix it, but it requires editing the debug mod to include the new menu option. Could there be any other incompatibilities?

Thanks! I'll add an updated one of those to the main post with v0.6.8 later on. That's probably the only incompatibility with it.

EEdit Also, I was thinking about working on the wiki some. Would it be okay for me to do so? If it's okay, is there anything that you don't want on the wiki?

Technically, the Box Link does nothing! A switch is activated when using the PC in Isolated Farm that adds Storage to the menu.

It would absolutely be brilliant for you to work on the wiki! I'd really appreciate the help! Feel free to add any altforms content to it!

no new forms/sprites this time around?

Not this time. No new ones were submitted by others, and I ran out of time yesterday to make some before uploading. I'll sort some more before v0.7 though.

This is how my timeline^* for the next version is looking:

Fix any bugs in v0.6 as they're discovered, release new 0.6.x versions as needed
Add new areas to wiki - wild listings, item listings, battle listings
Add walkthroughs for all sidequests to wiki
Add wiki pages for Memeforms and Memejuvforms version differences
Try to automate or macro converting alternate form game data into wiki tables
Start work on v0.7 (Isle of Armor & Crown Tundra moves, abilities, items, mons + new altforms areas (2-3) and sidequests (2) + new altforms + new plate interactions + randomiser + 8th gen-only switch)

I'll have natural points to fit in some spritework in 2 and 5 from sorting wiki icons and pictures, and I'll release them in batches as they come.

_{*There's not a lot of time in the timeline. I don't know how long each part will take.}

The bad thing is that it prevents me from accessing the menu from wich I guess I could have just Escaped. And I don't think I could restart an older save bc for some reason (the fact that I was using the Game-z file?) the last backups didn't exist.

So as this happened into the Mod area I'm reporting the bug, and also leaving the file here in case someone could help me

Sorry for all the questions =/

I got Steelix's keypiece, as well! But I'm still missing a gold piece, according to the professor... I went back and double-checked each location to be sure, and I think I got everyone!

Isolated Farm - Dubwool (the daycare is open)

Secret Glade - Trevenant (I have both the sweet and sour apples in my inventory)

Tanzan Depths - Steelix (just got the keypiece!)

Rock PokeSpot - Claydol (the dunes in the upper left are empty)

Oasis PokeSpot - Drapion (the Pokesnax pedastal in the middle can't be interacted with anymore)

Secluded Jungle - Lilligant (Grookey's area is open)

Hidden Slopes - Can't remember the Totem here, but the Peak/Hill in the northernmost spot is empty

Obscure Oceanfront - Gyarados (the bottom right interactable tile is gone; Gyarados killed me multiple times)

Under Ruins - Melmetal (the cage/boarded up house at the end is empty; Melmetal killed me multiple times)

I'm very curious as to the final boss, and to catch a Cursola!

Thanks!

Spoiler

Hmm, if all those are done and it's still not working, I may have made a mistake somewhere. The Hidden Slopes Totem is a Sky Steelix, lured using 3 Magnet Powder and an Adrenaline Orb.

If this is done and the doorway is not apparent in the Undernet Digsite, I may have to fix it.

Would you be able to send me your save file if this is the case, please?

It's the Game.rxdata file that you can find in your \User\Saved Games\Pokemon Reborn\ or similar folder on Windows 10 or by searching your computer for it.

The final boss will be coming in episode 19, but I think I can put a boss in there for v0.7.

...to Surf across and up into Hidden Slopes to get the item for it.

And definitely plans for Kantonian Mr. Rime and Sirfetch'd! It's a little bit wanting to see what Gamefreak release in Crown Tundra, and a little bit timesaving to get v0.6 out.

They'll be in v0.7! For Sirfetch'd, I'll be using the beta Farfetch'd evo design. For Mr. Rime, I will have to have a serious design session to find an appropriate spin on it.

Mi question would be: is there any way to enter the cave system under Onyx School after Reborn City's been renovated with the underground railnet?

Hi! Glad you're enjoying it

After Reborn City's restoration, you cannot get into the underground network of tunnels from Reborn City - they sealed it all up! You can still access them from Isolated Farm (via Route 1 -> North Aventurine Woods), Route 2 (into Northern Undernet) and Route 4 (by Rock Climb into Northern Undernet's icy crevasse). There's also a shortcut unlocked in Southwest Undernet from near the Isolated Farm entrance to near the Undernet Digsite entrance.

But I still need more Golden Key Fragments. Are there more totems anywhere? Do I need to find all the wild Meltans?

The EEG has been suspended, again, due to the pandemic. I'm exploring new medication options, though, which may help. At the moment in the stage of weaning off of one before taking another.

It sounds like the Totem you're missing is...

Spoiler

The Tanzan Depths Steelix. If you already beat it before updating or adding altforms, you can still go to Tanzan Depths to retrieve the Golden Key Fragment from where you encounter it.

The wild Meltans are for Melmetal, but since Melmetal is a strong legendary Pokémon it won't be available before Reborn Episode 19 - when it comes, I'll add in the other 3 Meltan needed to reform it.

I slept in a bed in the powerplant and got a Spiritomb cry, but nothing else happened. As far as I can tell I've stepped on all the Wooloo tiles. There's a final room in the power plant that seems to be a dead end.

Talking the the NPC in the center hub who is supposed to help with Tech Support hasn't done anything.

Thanks!

Ah! Another thing I forgot to do: Add hints from Verity about those ruins.

Here's the hint:

Spoiler

No power? Try finding a power generator. They've been abandoned for a long time, so any fuel in them has almost certainly degraded beyond use. The ignition might be degraded too. Some charcoal and a cell battery would probably work.

The next hint would be:

Spoiler

A vending machine that doesn't vend is suspicious. It may perform another function if the right sequence code is entered.

Then:

Spoiler

There must be a mechanism to open the door. Try looking for a switch near it.

And finally, after getting inside:

Spoiler

I can't go with you to crack a password. If you can find anything belonging to the computer owner, I could give you some suggestions.

> Bring book (that you'd be able to pick up if I'd remembered to do this)

Spoiler

Hmm... I, P, 4, local host... IPv4 localhost address? 127.0.0.1 probably. If it's not that, try changing the 1 to any number from 0 to 9.

The Wooloo song is a hint as well!

The Spiritomb sound while you sleep unlocks a new area to come in v0.7 - It was cut from v0.6 to save time, and it looks like v0.7 will be coming sooner than expected since Crown Tundra is also.

The TM inaccessibility is an accident. I'll get that fixed for the next version!

I hope that helps! If not, let me know and I'll walk you through it.

You did an amazing job on this mod Blue Towel. The Generation 8 pokemon are awesome in Reborn. Thanks again for all your hardwork Also, qusstion? Will you be working on a similar mod for pokemon rejuvenation in the 0.7 update or on any other version?

Thanks! I'm not sure right now, to be honest. There is a Memeforms-style Altforms mod being worked on for Rejuvenation, but I know that level of difficulty is not to everyone's taste. Personally, I'd still like to do something. I have an idea for a sidequest island that I think would be a lot of fun, as a way to get wild Altforms in Rejuvenation. The but is, I'm not sure when I'd do it. I'm in limbo while some irl stuff is going on, waiting to start a new project to make some money once that stuff is settled, and Reborn Altforms and the wiki still need a lot of work. I'd like to say yes, definitely, but I don't know what the future will look like by the time I can work on it. Working on v0.6 has taught me that everything takes longer than expected in these kinds of projects.

Hi BlueTowel, I love this mod and have been playing it nonstop lately, but I'm having a problem getting the alt form dusclops/dusknoir. I evolve the duskull with the iron plate and it's still holding the plate when it evolves. It doesn't show up as the alt form in the pokedex either. Am I doing something wrong?

Hi! I'm glad you're enjoying it! Nonstop? Please remember to take care of yourself also! Sorry about the bug - I accidentally left a map-check in the evolution code! For now, you'll have to take it under the Grand Stairway to one of the floors with Unown, at night, to evolve it. The at-night part is intentional, but I forgot to mention it. Huh, maybe the map part was intentional too?

I've been using the Altform Mod to play a Galar-only run of Reborn and I was wondering, I've found the Dino and Drake fossils in their undernet sections but I cannot seem to find the locations of the bird and fish fossils, does anyone know where they are?

Sorry for the late reply!

Locations in spoiler below!

Spoiler

The Bird Fossil is in Northern Undernet: Cross the river into the cold crevasse at the top, and it's in a rock on the path.

The Fish Fossil is in Southeast Undernet: Travel down the Waterfall and check around the dirt in that section, or use the Item Finder to see it.

Alright, I double checked and it seems like I was a tired idiot and had a regular Larvitar. Sorry about that and the late reply! If there are any forms displaying incorrect information I will definitely let you know. Thanks yet again, good luck with your health and stay safe!!

Ah! It would help if it had sprites, but it's the usual thing with this mod for graphics to lag behind a bit! I've been pretty busy, but hopefully I can get back to at least sorting placeholders for everything soon.

something i was wondering was if perhaps an alternate sandshrew/sandslash be it for both their kantonian and alolan forms or just one where both are more special oriented instead of physical.......... perhaps have it be the kantonian one and it be ground/poison?

mind u im no good at spriting so if it were to happen i wouldnt be able to assist there

Could be interesting! I'll note it down and look into it as a possibility for a new v0.7 form!

Hey Blue, first of all I wanted to thank you for the awesome mod I am loving it thus far. I had a question regarding both forms of Larvitar. On the Alt-Forms Wiki it says that Ice Larvitar has Snow Cloak and Guts as an ability but mine had Sand Veil. I also wanted to confirm that Ice Ttar is Phys based and Space is Spa? Thanks again!

Glad to hear you're enjoying it!

I had a look through the code and don't see any reason for an Ice Larvitar to have Sand Veil. It definitely should have Guts and Snow Cloak as its abilities. Are you using v0.6.5? Are any other forms displaying incorrect data?

I can confirm that Ice Tyranitar is primarily Physical in offense, and Space Tyranitar is primarily Special in offense.

V0.6 has been great so far, what's everyone's favorite form? Dusk Noivern has been killing it for me personally

So that was it. Hopefully I will have more time this week to play and explore all the new areas. I finished my first run of Reborn which this mod way back but I forgot to write my thanks and give feedback/report bugs at the time. Hopefully this post can help you.

Again thanks Blue (and for everybody else put effort on this project) all your work! Take care and hope everything is alright with your hand.

But MOST IMPORTANTLY that I forgot to say is THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THE FEEDBACK! I love this stuff! It helps the project grow and improve! My hand is pretty much alright now, it's my brain being a pain...

I don't know if this happened to someone else, but if you try to encounter a wild Pokemon while the leading Pokemon in your team has the ability Cute Charm, the game brings up this error and closes.

Also according to Orbeetle's moveset, it should learn Psychic at level 36, but it learns the move After You instead, and Orbeetle learns After You at level 40.

Fixed 'em all in v0.6.5! Download the patch and it should all work now, I hope? Not sure which NPC that introduces the entire crew is causing problems, so I had a look around the whole digsite and tweaked some.
