I can't imagine the kind of hellhole balancing would be for the game going forward while it's still in development when the devs have 200 other things to work on. Especially with new moves coming up and the tweeks to field changes from v 13. Admittingly i'm biased since I don't play intense mode, but even I was starting to think that the back and forth on the forums was getting a little out of hand with people who weren't satisfied with intense mode. So I think it's better for the overall health of the game (and devs's sanity lol) while it's still developing to put intense on the back burner if it ever comes back at all.

I might be misremembering but aren't a majority if not all of the stamps available through side quests? Would explain why we didn't receive any in V13 since that was almost all about the main story while v13.5 will contain the side quests.

My sheer force Nidoking certainly appreciates the free life orb honestly though I understand and fully expect them to remove being able to steal their default items, but I hope they don't take away the option to replace those pokemon's items. Being able to give them berries helped me a lot with that fight.

Seven stamps. The highest floor available is the 8th floor, the first floor is the receptionist which you don't need a stamp for. Unless there was another stamp added in chapter 15 that I missed?

I understand how it might not seem worth it to folks who already chose froakie as their starter. You also get 3 Karma points for doing the quest, though again might not be worth for some people. I was lucky in my main play through because I already had quite a few of the requirements, just needed to breed with ditto. Mareanie was my mystery egg pokemon and I already had wishiwashi from when it was available from the fishing tank in GDC... actually i'm not sure if it's still available that way because in my newest playthrough I got horsea instead, can anyone else confirm? I would probably reduce the amount of pokemon you need to donate to 15 maybe 20 while getting to choose which of the 35 you need to donate. The reward just seems rather lackluster, I'll agree with that.

Did it say somewhere she was a natural blonde? I ask because Anathea is shown to have had 2 hair colors so far: Black and blonde. The later we've seen for ourselves when we went to the past, the former is shown in a cutscene in chapter 15 and there's also the hospital documents In Isha's office that list her having black hair (though i'm not really sure how that would work since it'd kind of be in the wrong timeline , unless it was a record from Isha's father). There's a more supporting plot point that would lead us to believe her hair was originally black then turned blonde than there is for the other way around.

Hidden Library 3 side quest, one of the rewards. I won't spoil anything but at the end you're given an option to randomly choose a prize from someone's right or left hand. I don't remember which but I believe Heracronite is the one on the left. The other one is the Banettite.

Personally I would trade Infernape's crest just so that it can learn drain punch. I just want my monkey boy with iron fist to learn drain punch....

For real though.... I think it's fine to agree to disagree and put forth one's counter arguments but some of those comments felt straight up hostile. I agree on Infernape's crest though. Personally I'm a filthy casual lol, so I tried asking if there was some sort of advantage to using it's crest that I just wasn't picking up on and the only real answer I got was "it's to use Infernape in a different way." I also like Lefeon. I wish it had at least 1 ability that wasn't centered around sunlight but I've enjoyed having one on my team.

I'd be interested to see how the Interceptor got involved as well. I do like the theory that they are from the den of souls. What I'd like to see is if our interceptor actually had a choice like the MCs did, I mean they're basically accepting a position that would put them in a body/identity that isn't even their own among other things. Certainly gives people incentive to think twice before accepting such a role. If the interceptor really is the one who hit the reset button in amethyst grotto, why don't they remember anything and why do Kieran and Clear do? It'd be wild if it turned out the interceptor is the one who recruited them, and much like Rune who knew her morals and inhibitions wouldn't allow her to make decisions that the puppet master would, did something similar and erased their memory and allowed Kieran and Clear to make certain situations happen in the event the interceptor could not.

I might be crazy, but shiny Hitmonchan reminded me of Bart Simpson, maybe because of the 'hair'? And I want to say shiny Bronzong reminds me of the liberty bell because of the 'worn out' look.

Yup, same here. I didn't know when it occurred until I read this post. 1.3 million gone just like that :/

I'm starting to think that's it, I noticed I haven't been able to change the time of day in game, and it's not changing no matter how much time passes. Is there a newer patch than 13.0.2? Edit: yup, sure enough there's a new patch out. I'll try that.

ahhhhh that would explain not being able to breed. I tried changing the time to 1:30 pm for day time to level it up but it wouldn't work, even after giving it a blue moon ice cream. Maybe it just doesn't have enough happiness? Don't know where to check that though since I'm at the part where east gearen does an upgrade and the person who checks that for you is no longer in the salon.

the gift riolu received in GDC not only can't evolve, but it can't even breed with ditto? I haven't tried any other pokemon to breed with it but does anyone else have this issue?

Heracross woods, not sure what to do next and red heracross isn't interactable even when I catch up to it.

Interested in this as well, was it jus completely removed from the game or can someone confirm there is just another place for it?

Anybody know the locations for the orphans in v13? Specifically the ones that used to be on route 3. There used to be two of them but I think I only found one.

There's a V13 relationship guide out? Can I get a link to that plz, I couldn't find it. Edit: nvm I found it. For those interested:

I've only hit kakori islands recently so I don't think I have a definitive favorite quite yet, but there have been changes I enjoyed and a couple that have fixed minor nitpicks of mine. POSSIBLE SPOILERS AHEAD: * * * * * * * * -Visually I really like what they did with Sheridan and Blacksteeple castle. The later especially practically went through a complete overhaul in design and how it plays out and I enjoyed it. - I like that we don't have to rely on Venam to get into Goldenleaf town. I've said it before but I always felt that us needing her to do so was arbitrarily silly. The way they set up the mansion story is much more likeable imo. - Crawli now straight up tells you about the back door into valor mountain. -Dialogue throughout the game. When they said they were fixing up the old as well as the new for this version they weren't joking, It's that moment where you feel you aren't just playing a definitive addition to a game they went and improved a lot. Just to give 1 example we get to see discussion between xen admins more. - regional forms - some of the character introductions. Not only in how they are handled but now we get to see their awesome artwork! I'm sure i'll come across more, like I said I only recently hit kakori town. I know it wasn't specifically asked, but I feel I would be remiss if I also didn't share a couple of things I didn't like: -The reward for the Battle Me! help quest in sheridan. This is more of a minor personal preference but I didn't like the fact that we got clobbopus in exchange for Eevee. At least with the later I can change it's type to suit my needs upon evolution, plus we can capture clobbopus as soon as kakori which isn't terribly far away and we get a shadow pokemon for it. I'm sure there's a balance reason on why we don't get Eevee anymore, and I can hardly offer up a better suggestion when it comes to balance but I just personally don't like that it's clobbopus. -The fact that you can't buy exp all right away with AP points. The EV training cards I can understand but I just don't think there was anything game breaking to have exp all available right off the bat as long as you had 30 ap points to spend on it. All in all though I can see why this version took 2 years to come out based on v 13 alone (still have 13.5 to look forward to!) the devs did great work on this one, great work.

Any specific spot have a confirmed A-Litwick spawn? I saw here that it's in Saki's gym (Which i'm assuming is the same place you fight Erik) and found some grass spots that connect to the gym through the sewers but just want to be sure.

Don't know if it's like this for anyone else, but even after downloading the patch the screen still goes black when fiddling with the screen size. Game confirms I have the latest patch installed in bottom left corner when loading up. (yes I put it in the bug reports i'm just asking if the patch is working as intended for anyone else) On a related note, screen boarder is no longer an option after the patch. Is it related to the bug?

Obligatory Edit: Also, LET'S GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!

I doubt I'm one of the people who have to worry about this, but for those who do how serious are the repercussions for downloading v13 and trying to play it anyway if any of the issues you mentioned pop up? I ask because the previous response to those who had concerns in the v13 discussion thread was basically 'get a better computer', but now it seems to be a more legitimate concern with unfortunate unforeseen issues seeing as how a dev post needed to be made about it. Full disclosure to players and devs; I'm not trying to sound like a dick, that's basically the advice that was given at least from what I interpreted from the previous discussion about a month ago. And it sounds like you don't have to 'break the bank' or throw out some ridiculous cash in order to obtain a computer good enough to play this game. There was even a graph given that honestly gave me a chuckle :
