Yeah that was the first thing I noticed. Story Spoilers ahead!

House in desert- I assume you already got into the house? In the case go to the GDC and find one of the apartments with an artist in it, they will ask you to find them a work of art, go to the art gallery in the city (it is near the Pokemon Studios/entrance to underground). Once you complete this sidequest, take the painting to the house and there is a spot in the middle you can hang it up on, this gets you a mega stone. Lux apartments: this is real dumb. what you need to do is go back to the place where you fell into, at the back a key will now be there. Take it to enter the Apartments. Complete the puzzle to get the best shark boi. You can fight a new mini boss in this area also, they are in a building that will now be open, i think it is to the left of the lux apartments.

Do you have any recent saves? If you search for your save folder you can find your other saves. The game keeps 50 backups by default. You can find them on windows by searching game.rxdata in the search bar. Then just rename one of the files to Game.rxdata and you should be good to go (naturally you need a file before you got softlocked, but you have 50 to choose from...)

I personally think the MC does not have any mother. They are a magical entity that can go against fate and come back from the dead. Why would they need to have a mother? Maybe they just "appeared". I seem to recall that when the interceptor is talked about it is said that is a being that appears when needed, which is why I feel like this may simply be the case and that the MC just appeared... Crescent was able to find them for w/e reason (maybe with the help of the space and time ladies(?) or something) and put them under the care of Nancy. But that's just a theory, a GAME THEORY, thanks for watching!

I meant boss battles. Pretty much every single one has max IVs and EV training on normal mode. I imagine some normal battles don't, but boss battles do, at least according to the wiki... when you play as other trainers they also have maxed IVs.

So I read some theories and have some questions tbh. Also gonna post some random theories that I had myself but it seems others had the same idea... I was reading some random pages of this and saw some mention that the Yveltal that Madame X uses is someone else (the evil guy from the mansion I think?). Is this a theory and if so what is the reason why people think this or is there something in the game that supports this? Just curious. I also saw some people mention that they think Madame X is Melia, but this makes no sense to me. If this was the case then she could just overlap with her and take her power. She clearly should have had a chance to do so by now. but has yet to do that. She could have done it in the ruined future then just overlapped with the Melia in the past also. Additionally, if she is Melia, she too should have those powers, she should not need to take Melia's light if she herself is Melia. Also, what do people think of the Nancy is a maid theory? Seems pretty interesting and the facts seem to support it, feels like it would be pointless to mention that maids can become flesh and blood if they live for long enough if that served no purpose in game, not to mention how Madame X refers to her as a "doll", also the MC does not seem like a normal person since you know, they are a semi-immortal demi god basically, how would one give birth to such a person? Lastly, the Xenpurgis is probably related to the vaccines as other people have said, seems like a simple explanation.

They CAN be the deciding factor they wont always be, but a 31 point boost to every stat is pretty important. After I did it, I found my Greninja and Espeon survived hits way more often rather than just dying instantly to everything. And yeah, sorry about saying the Gliscor thing lol, I went to delete it because I had second thoughts about saying that. Guess I was too late lol. It is pretty dumb that it does not learn EQ by level up anyway...

Yeah I completely feel the same way, IVs offer nothing, they just make the enemy Pokemon better than yours. No matter what you do if your IVs are worse your same mon will lose (unless you get a crit or something). Like it is literally just artificial difficult, they are just better than your mons for no reason. I don't think I will do the same thing in Reborn thought, since the tools do do so are not really there (to do it legitimately). If I was blessed by lord Arceus with a max IV mon then it would be a different story... (not to mention I already finished Reborn but w/e) As for a mod, yeah I would use that if it was a thing, would make things so much easier... Like even Pokemon Dark Rising Kazio had that as a feature and that game is hot garbage, still played all of it thought, so joke is on me I suppose.... That is fair, I only did it towards the end of what is available (literally before the 14th gym to be exact). Breeding that Sylveon becomes available after the first visit to the Desert, so I feel I could have done it fairly after I could leave the desert for the first time. I view it as fair personally, I could have legitimately did the breeding but that would have been super boring and tedious, so I skipped it with debug. The way IVs work is like this. At lv 100 each point in a IV is 1 point in that stat. So the difference from having 0 IV and 31 IV is 31 stat points. At lower levels this is lessened, but with the game going up to lv85 currently the bonuses are pretty large at this point. So much so that having bad IVs is a death sentence to a mon. Often times they are the difference between going first or second, or living a hit or dying in two (this is especially important in battles with fields that increase damage). As for why you can't see them in the mainline games the reason? Who knows. There is a way to see them in Sword/Shield thought. Also, I did not use it for anything that could not be done legitimately cause I feel the same way. My Garchomp only knows dig and it hurts...

Here is how this works. You need a max IV Pokémon that is Male, in this case we have the gift Sylveon. If your Sylveon is female then breed it until you get a male Eevee with max IVs. The destiny knot lets the IVs transfer to children. Egg groups are important here. They basically determine what can breed with what. Most Pokemon have one egg group but some have two. This is the key to allowing us to breed max IVs on any Pokemon. Let's say I want to get a maxed out Gible. Breed the Sylveon with a Pokemon that has multiple egg groups, for example, Spheal is water 1 and field. Once I get a 6 Max IV spheal. I can now access both the field and water 1 egg groups. Now I can breed my Spheal with say a Horsea to get a 6 IV Pokemon in the dragon egg group, which means I can now get a gible with max IVs. EDIT: I forgot this little bit. The final 6 IV mon you get needs to be male. The female is the one that determines what mon it is, so if your just breeding for a 6 IV dragon breeding slave, you will want it to be male. If you don't have a female of the species you want to breed, then you can use a ditto to get one (or just catch more if applicable). Now just breed your new team with Max IVs! Unfortunately, this will take a while which is why I elected to skip the process and just use cheats instead, but it is a thing that you can do. Which of course brings us to the main question of, if people view this as cheating or not. I am honestly curious of what people are thinking here. Hopefully my explanation was sufficient.

It should be clear from the Pokemon that are used who you are really fighting alongside...

I did not realize those were a thing. So I just set the Ivs to max. Same result I suppose.

The story goes up to 14 badges currently. So it is pretty long. 14/19 (the 19th being the elite four/champion) would make it about 75% done. This is of course assuming that each future version has one badge.

Interesting, so Decimate is a priority move then? I assumed it just went first cause of the level advantage. Ill have to keep that in mind if I do another playthrough, would be pretty funny to beat Madame X, kinda ruins the story a bit, since she is meant to be this scary unstoppable force, but you can just be her with a bird lol.

Understandable use of debug mode. Also I have never had that crash problem in my brief time using it. I used debug mode to set my Ivs to max. I never did it in reborn but decided to toward the end of Rejuvination. My main justification is that the gift Syleveon has max IVs. By breeding it with pokemon that have multiple egg groups, I can get max Iv Pokemon in all egg groups (I think), so really it just saves me time at this point.. I do feel kinda guilty about it, but the only back up save file I have is multiple days of work back, and I don't really want to do all the dive quests, the final Karen quest and restoration again... Edit; Yeah I doubled checked on Seribii and there is indeed a way to breed Slyveon with other Pokemon then breed those with other mons to access all egg groups with 6 Ivs. It would just be a bit of a pain. I feel less guilty for cheating now that I looked that up. The process for those curious goes like this: Breed a male 6 max IV Slyveon/Eevee with a female of a Pokemon with multiple egg groups (such as Spheal, which shares the field group with Sylveon, but is also water 1) and get a 6 max IV version of that mon. Breed that mon with other Pokemon that have multiple egg groups. Repeat until you have "unlocked" all egg groups. Now you can breed any mon with 6 Ivs. You can use sites like Seribii to view egg groups. It takes a lot of jumping around but is doable, just way to tedious for my liking.

Actually I just looked. It is possible to do so. Sturdy/Endeavor + priority move will do it. You can also stall it out since it seems to only know the one move, that way it dies to struggle. You get like 40000 for winning, but story still plays out the same way.

That battle seems actually impossible to win. The move Decimate seems to always hit, and with it being ~60 levels higher than you it should always outspeed. Maybe if you can somehow prankster toxic it, then protect repeatedly? Would that even work thought? Edit: I also like to always win my battles. The only ones I lost and did not reload for where

Bit late but I think this refers to the building on terajuma shore. There is also a outpost in the jungle. Not sure if this is what it is referring to but they are ranger outposts...

Interesting thank you. I know I have high points with Melia since I remember that dialogue, not sure for Aelita honestly, I feel like I should have high points with them but it is hard to say... Is there a way to actually check relationship points? Or do you just have to keep track? EDIT: Went ahead and looked at the guide looks like I have plenty of points with both Melia and Aelita. 15 with Melia and 16 with Aelita apparently. I don't think I have a single negative character. So seems like I am doing pretty good.

Honestly this bothers me for a completely different reason. I went with Erin in the caves and she told me that bladestar is a terrorist group. So when I am given the option to expose the leader of a terrorist group why would I ever say no? I feel like this game really needed a prior meeting with bladestar, something to ya know, introduce them before you are given such a huge choice. Like if I had been to the underground/badlands first and learned about what Flora/Bladestar was doing for these communities, and how evil the leaders of the city are, I would be way more inclined to not tattle on her. But nope, the only thing I am told about them is that they are terrorists, so of course, I will side against them, except when Cassandra asked of course, cause she fishy AF. If you are wondering why I trusted Erin so much, it is because they said they knew Aelita, which makes me trust them basically instantly, especially since his story checked out and this game has not had any real backstabbing yet (at least not by major characters). But yeah, I do agree that giving players a choice that does not particularly matter or that is basically not allowed is pretty silly.

If you cant find it then you have not progressed far enough into the story yet. Just keep going, eventually you will be asked to go to the nightmare realm and then a man outside of the penthouse place will tell you where to buy one. You can't buy one until then. Speaking of which, you can just buy two to save time.

Classified Quest: Give the women agent lady the nightmare medallion. Then go buy another one. Go find her in the nightmare realm. That is it. Odd House: Go to the gym in Goldenleaf and talk to the man in the lobby. Go to the end of the gym and use the mirror. Grab the key and follow the Pokemon to the tower. Go in and solve the puzzle, the answers are in the books. After you finish this you can take the power plant quest. Hope that helps!

Sorry about the vague title but I did not want to spoil anything with the title. Anyway, the dialogue I am talking about is (SPOILERS OBVIOUSLY)

This is honestly a really good strategy that I wish I heard before I brute forced the fight with numerous attempts over a few hours, until I eventually came out on top. I did consider trying to use a Ribombee since I have a cuteifly with good Ivs, ultimately I felt like it would just die to Scizor/Arcanine priority moves and a sash would not help since spikes. The roar strategy is something I would not have ever thought of, which is strange since I did abuse roar against the "angel of death". Anyway, thanks for the suggestions regardless.

Edit: After a bit more grinding and planning, I managed to beat the fight. Still would like advice on revisions thought, cause I imagine the future fights are gonna be just as brutal. Hello I am playing through the game and enjoying it but have run into a bit of a snag. I got to the point where I have to fight Ren in the desert and oh boy am I not even close. No matter what I try I seem to get stomped. Additionally, this fight is the roadblock to leaving the desert, so I can't really get many new Pokémon to help me. My main issues with my current team is that they just get killed so easily. None of them survive for long. Espeon just implodes the second anything touches it, even special moves pop it. Same with Greninja and Oricorio. Venasuar and Incnaroar can take a hit or two but not much else, and Magnazone is just kinda trash, everything seems to one shot it into sturdy. The fact that the AI has perfect evs and mine are for the most part garbage doesn't make things better, one thing that I am is considering cheating to make my Evs perfect, but I don't really want to do that... which is why I am looking for suggestions instead. One thing I am considering is a tanky sweeper with a set up move. The cacturne is a good chance to set up, but I have nothing like that. Maybe the piplup with sword dance would be a good choice? Apparently, my piplup does not have sword dance, no idea why I thougth it did... But yeah my main party is definitely garbage and needs serious help, I am sick of only being able to win when I get perfect RNG. Note: I am also playing with no bag items in battle and set mode. Difficulty is normal. Any suggestions on what to rework would be appreciated. My boxes/party is attached.

Yeah. I figured it out. You have to enter from route 9. The city entrances don't work. Honestly did not remember there was even a route 9 entrance...
