[A wild fanart appeared!]

i love them

[Mistakes]

Ryland is alive don't worry about that part ! He guards the jewel of life, if you want to be sure you can check the top of the pyramid he should be here.

As for the abyss side quest, none of the answers really is "good", if you tell him to go look for them he most likely looses himself again in it so... Honestly not a mistake here, you complete the sidequest either way

 

And i checked to be sure, but i don't think you loose friendship points if you don't see through the illusion at the pyramid.

 

So i'm pretty sure you didn't do any mistake in this don't worry !

and akane just disappears to nowhere 

also apperently talon was also the reserve leader?

i remember a line saying he was too

so theres that

 Talon IS the flying type leader, not reserve. Souta took his place as reserve because, you know, Talon was a little unavailable.

[[POTENTIAL SPOILERS] Rejuvenation Fanworks Thread]

i love it it's so beautiful

[Valentine (5th Gym Battle) - Unbeatable. (V13, normal mode)]

If you don't want to worry too much of IV, EV and all, casual is better suit for you then. Normal mode requires ofc strategies, but also good pokemon with proper training. They don't need to be perfect, but the more you progress, the harder it will become if you just go with the first trash iv mon you find.

(I struggled on some fights even in casual, with EV trained mons and decent IVs on all)

[Spoiler Discussion]

Nastasia's case is very interesting.

She doesn't really seem to fear Madame X, even though she states "we're all dead if she discovers that" during the pyramid mission, she still does it. And it's not her only unauthorized mission, because from what i understand at Blacksteeple, the boat attack wasn't ordered by Madame X either.

Nastasia specifically wanted to get Nancy to use the machine in the castle, saying "you both come from the same factory" (something like that). Was her goal to enter the other part of Blacksteeple ?

What do you think Nastasia's plan is ? Because i'm certain she has her own agenda.

[Spoiler Discussion]

So again, i replay the game, and i found this in the battle with Madame X.
Her Yveltal is holding a Soul Stone.

A lot of us have this theory of Yveltal somehow being Vitus, but now i have a different view on it. Vitus's soul might be trapped in this Soul Stone, and that's the thing Madame X tries to destroy. Or maybe she trapped his soul inside of Yveltal ? That would explain why she wants to kill Yveltal.

[13.5 Status Discussion Thread]

Ana quest will continue in 13.5 i guess, don't know if it will be the end just yet.

We'll probably have a quest with Florin and Bladestar (or maybe this part will be linked to Ana quest)

And i think there will be something in East Gearen city with the shady place that Adrienn and Aya are trying to get in.

[Theory Crafting Thread]

Cassandra clearly says she wants revenge over Tesla and Amber.

Don't remember where, but she says it.

[Spoiler Discussion]

The two are in the field effect manual, at the end, but they're not in the list at the beginning yet

[Spoiler Discussion]

Could be for Tesla indeed, but i also think we'll see it for another battle with groudon. So either Cera or maybe Indriad/Vitus who retrieved it ? Precipice blades creat this field on dimensional one, there's no way it won't be used.

 

As for the other field, Colosseum, any idea who this might belong to ? Probably someone with Zacian / Zamazenta

[Alice and Allen Battle - Theoretical]

Oh yeah, didn't though about snow warning + Angie had a ninetales so i guess it won't be used again.

 

Galarian rapidash fits him pretty well i agree. If it's a double, maybe like Neon and Magenta, Allen will focus on attack, and Alice on support.

Fast mons are fitting with Allen, while more defensive mons are for Alice (like her sableye, and the whole illusion ability wich makes sense)

[Alice and Allen Battle - Theoretical]

I totally agree for Starlight Arena as the field, it fits both types perfectly. Bewitched Woods was already used, we won't have it a second time for a gym battle.

 

However, i don't think the double will be with Erin or Melia. Erin doesn't have much interest in battles, and Melia is a reserve leader. If it's a double 12vs12, for me, it will be with Aelita. She wants to become stronger, and she already shown before an interest in fighting the gym leaders.

Could be with Ren too, considering he's our partner / rival since the very beginning of the game.

 

As for the teams, maybe not his ace, but i really think Allen will have an alolan ninetales. Just because it was the mon given by his sister

[Question about V13 item Interceptor´s Wish]

If you activate it, you use your own team instead of the playable character's one

I think that's the only thing it changes

[Nuzlocke Co-Op challenge idea.]

Okay nice, i'm a casual player, but i played reborn, and i wanted to try rejuv in normal, so here's the occasion.

I'm adding you on discord, Eixenr is also my username there !

[Nuzlocke Co-Op challenge idea.]

That would be super cool to do ! If there's no deadline to play a part when it's your turn (because school takes time), i'd love to participate !

Wich difficulty will you use ?

 

[How do I get a Rockruff / Lycanroc ?]

Lycanroc was moved to the cave in route 9, i don't think you can find one before

[Any idea on where to go next in Rejuvenation?]

Yes, and you have to get the stone to defrost them. Try to return to the shop with the stone now

[Any idea on where to go next in Rejuvenation?]

Did you get the TM for Magma Drift ? I think the cutscene triggers only after getting it. You need to go to the shop and melt the ice with the magma stone.

[A theory behind who owns Blacksteeple Castle (before Team Xen took over)]

I'm pretty sure, in the alternate timeline, Madame X clearly says it used to belong to Nymiera.

 

But Indriad probably owned it at some point, since we have the book about domestic abuse. I also found some similarities between the layout of manor of chapter 3, and the castle (or maybe i just overthink it)

[Favorite and Least Favorite Chapters?]

Chapter 15 is my favorite, even though it's a tie with 5 and 8.

Chapter 3 was also very good with all the new things, the relation with Marianette and the nickname, i loved it.

 

Least favorite, chapter 7. As much as i love Angie in her first appearance, it just felt very secondary all this quest for the TM and then the magma stone.

[Started new V13 run to be a jerk and get bad ending....]

This is exactly why i will never get the bad ending. I can't be mean to the characters, i love them to much  (except Isha, i hope he dies form the Xenpurgis).

However excited to see how it will influence the story later.

[Light and Dark prophecy in light of v13, summary and discussion]

Since the Interceptor is not affected by fate, and can choose his own way (good or evil), maybe the MC is either not in the prophecy, or can fill one spot on each side depending on his choices. You have to try to be a jerk to get the choice of joining Clear and Kieran, would make sense for the MC to fit the raw evil in this case.

I don't remember who explains it, but there are no "chosen ones", as long as someone fits the description, they can be part of the prophecy.

[One more attempt to figure out Madame X identity [Spoilers, obviously]]

Currently replaying v13, i just had this idea, and don't think i've seen it already ?

 

Madame X says about her "mother" that she gave her life to protect her. By the way it's said, it probably wasn't her real mother, or not a human at all.

So... What if madame X is us (Interceptor) from another world / timeline ?

It's implied we're the one behind the reset of the world. She seems to know a lot about future events, maybe because she lived them ? Maybe we, as the Interceptor, failed once, so we decided to reset everything, in hope to change things.

 

I know some things about her don't match with this, but i still find the idea interesting.

[Crescent]

Talon and "Damien" were also victims of Nim.

They were indeed lure by Cosmia and Comet, probably on order from Clear and Kieran. Theses two are against the league, it makes sense they would attack gym leaders to sabotage it.
