[Chapter 7 Plot Question (SPOILERS)]

It will be explained later on when you rescue Amber. 

I'm glad for that, it seemed very out of place when no one brought it up afterwards

[Chapter 7 Plot Question (SPOILERS)]

So, I just was at the point where Amber was kidnapped by Xen. Madelis shows up and tells the MC to bring Melia to her, or else, immediately after just explaining that she had incapacitated the entire party with roofies or something. Can anyone figure out the rationale here, or am I crazy for thinking she could have just walked over and taken her? Maybe that's ludonarrative dissonance and there are more people at the resort pot luck than we can see, or something.

[Val too OP on V13]

Pyukumuku with curse, recover, pain split and counter can deal with seaking, dewgong and floatzel solo. If you have a cacnea with water absorb, that will be helpful at least to force her to swap sometimes.

Larvitar being removed is the worst news of 2021 :(

[Ditto Quest]

Does the ditto quest start the same way in v13? I turned in the solrock quest, and I've progressed to Chapter 4 with no way to start or progress it thus far.

I feel the biggest difference difficulty-wise that makes Rejuv a little "easier" is that Reborn really limits the pokemon that are available to you early on until you get deeeeeeeeeeeep into the story. Rejuv does have that same thing going on early, but if you're doing all of the sidequests and actually hunting in the routes, I feel the choices for your team are a lot better than Reborn is. 

 

now, if you're not aware of what you can catch on a given route, or you miss a sidequest or something like that, yes it CAN be as hard as Reborn

I'd play on normal, at least for the first time around. it's around the same difficulty as reborn is 

intense is as the name suggests. I haven't played on that difficulty myself, but it's definitely more fit for a second or third runthrough

Yeah reborn was probably hard enough in retrospect, so normal is probably good, especially when it's blind. I just didn't know how tuned/narratively consistent intense was in comparison to normal.

[V13 Discussion Thread]

So I'm waiting for the new version to start my first playthrough, what difficulty do you guys recommend? I've played through Reborn twice and found it pretty hard the first time, and reasonably difficult the second time. I'm less concerned with total difficulty and more concerned with potential immersion-breaking for Intense. The FAQ says it has legendaries for gym leaders, so is intense more of a second playthrough challenge difficulty?
