    generally I'd say you want to pick up Rain Dance, Giga Drain and Energy Ball as a Lotad (all by 36), then Hydro Pump at 44 as Lombre, before evolving. unfortunately if you already evolved Lotad you're gonna have to wait quite a while for those moves: Rain Dance is available around the middle of the game, Giga Drain tutor is post-restoration, and... is Energy Ball even available in E18?

     

    if you missed out on the moves but want to keep your shiny I'd recommend either taking the L and breeding a new one, or using debug/sandbox to grab a new shiny Lotad, since otherwise its only Grass STAB for quite a long time is going to be Mega Drain.

    i dont think energy ball is available yet. Grass knot is an alternative, and nature power becomes energy ball on grassy terrain.

    I'm starting to feel nervous about the Elite 4 given the difficulty I've had with leaders in this game; is it a guarantee that it will be like main games where you need one team to make it through five trainers in a row with no switched? I never thought much about it until now but if that's the case I suspect I will struggle to even make it to post game 😂 

    I'm guessing it's gonna be similar to Black and White, where you face all the Elite 4 members, but then Team Meteor does something and you have to leave to stop them. At the end, we'll have to battle Lin as the stand-in Champion, and the "real champion", Ame, won't be available to battle until the postgame

    Now that I have read the piece of advice that E19 early game recontextualises later events, I'm torn... I really want to know how the main story wraps up, but I also want to see Ace and the changes to the early events :)

    Aaaah, I need more time for nice things... T.T

     

    Same here. I'm probably gonna finish the main story on my main save file, then start a new run on the Zekrom Route so I can experience both story branches

    Good evening, 

     

    I don't know if it's been mentioned before but let's focus on the prophecies, specifically the dark one.

     

    It's said that the 4 darknesses are, one who embodies greed, one who embodies pure evil, one who embodies obsession and one who embodies betrayal. 

    I'm practically sure that:

    - The one of pure evil is Cassandra

    - The one of greed is Mr Blakeory 

    - The one of obsession is Dr Isha (he's so obsessed with his success rate, he's ready to do everything, even illegal stuff, to maintain it.) 

    As of the one of betrayal, we thought it was Ren, but it could be Reina, or none of them, I'm really not sure about these two. 

    Blakeory and Isha are both partners of Cassandra. Does that mean the one of betrayal has also a connection with team Xen? If yes, that means it could be Ren? Not sure about that. Anyway, I'm pretty sure we'll have more interactions with Mr Blakeory and Dr Isha, I really don't think it's the last time we've heard of them. They're both in prison, but nothing says they won't be able to escape 🤔

    Betrayal could be Madame X, since a lot of people speculate that she's Melia

    If this is Kingdom Hearts, we need the following:

     

    - Ame wasn't actually dead ala Eraqus and was actually inside our protagonist all along

    - Lin's motivation is originally just "EVIL DARK" but as we learn more we realize she's actually trying to destroy the world to make it better and is moreso misguided despite that making very little sense

    - Arceus is a black box

    Well Ame still exists in E19 since she has a dev battle. Would be cool if we faced her as a ghost or something

    If Lin's too young to have her current body, but Terra isn't, then I would guess that lends credence to my theory of Lin and Terra inhabiting the same (Terra's) body.

    If Terra changed around when Lin arrived, that could be the start of the possession. Whether Lin's body still exists anywhere is unknown, but if she was somehow harmed by Sigmund, I expect he would be very, very dead.

    This is a woman who killed a worthy opponent just to have her out of the way and sacrificed her ally's son. The fact that Sigmund is working with Meteor and is still alive probably doesn't agree with him ever having hurt Lin.

    Laura says the last she ever saw from Lin was when she was taken away by Sigmund. There's also a bed in the orphanage with a large red stain, so it's not too far fetched for his therapy to be deadly. I suspect that Lin is keeping him alive for a reason, like the protagonist. Knowing how sadistic she is, she probably has a fate worse than death in mind

    If she only dares to try... Then I'll show her NOT to underestimate the power of friendship, and saving X-items on the darkest hour. 

    She's not a God, not in the slightest... but a spoiled, aggravating, cheeky, egocentrical, goddamn DAUGHTER OF A-

    Two can play that game. 

    Some boosting, Baton Passing, switching to some fast and/or bulky sweeper, and better be careful, as I know how to boost-sweep. One mistake... And it's all over. 

    Unless the field is not beneficial. 

    Put one of her mons to sleep with yawn, use a stat boosting move like extreme evoboost, then baton pass and sweep. That's pretty much my strategy for every fight and i even have psych up on espeon to keep it going in doubles

    I know. I've prepared in advance:

    • Determination? Check 
    • Desire to conquer? Check 
    • My team of faithful, mighty Pokemon ready to take on any challenge? Check
    • Sandstorm setup and strategies to overwhelm commoners (and to annoy Ame xd)? Check 
    • Firm clothing? (checks the black shirt, black-white Nikes, blue jeans and sleeveless jeans vest) Check
    • 99,999 Full Restores? Check 
    • Single-shot pistol for sudden emergencies? Check 
    • Theme song? ...wait... idonthaveany      

       

    'Kay, I think I'm ready. 

    Better stock up on revival herbs just in case

    I'm fairly certain it was never directly said or even implied (beside the surname ofc) they are family-related. I still prefer my interpretation, it fits Tara&Simon's story and Tara's death is enough of a beating Simon takes in this event, no need to add incest into it.

     

    Your interpretation works too, I just wanted to be sure if there is a firm info on that. To be fair, I wouldn't go that deep into speculation whether Solaris wanted their real names or wanted names at all. Not that it doesnt make sense, but I wouldnt suspect the devs of this level of planning the design...

    I'm pretty sure higher ups like Solaris (except Lin and Taka) are just using code names. Not too sure about the ordinary grunts tho. I kinda assumed SImon and Tara were related based on Simon's reaction

    Hey. Now I've noticed... 

    Ace, despite appearing at the story's end, is said to "have such a presence like they've been there the whole time". 

    Do you know what other major antagonist appeared basically at the end of the main plot, but in summary it was like they'd been in the story since the beginning? 

    Steven Armstrong 

    That also reminds me of Father Balder in Bayonetta

    • Main antagonist
    • Basically driving the entire plot from the start
    • Only appears in Chapter 16 and the Epilogue 

    This can't be a coincidence, right?

  11. I would say Blaziken could also be a good team member. Like Camerupt, it appreciates the nerfs to surf and earthquake. It can set up Substitute, Work up or bulk up pretty easily then Baton Pass into another team member. Comfey could also be useful for doubles since floral healing restores more HP and Growth has doubled effects

    I've never thought of the event of Sinjoh Ruins as canon in any capacity - it does show how strong and potent Arceus is... But that's all. 

    • Also... Do you remember what happens when two Gods and/or God-like Pokemon clash with each other? (from the movies, or games) If any of the created in the Sinjoh Ruins Pokemon met their "real" counterpart... Let's say that the citizens of the nearby regions should evacuate immediately if that happened 

    I always figured that event was just to show how much power Arceus really has. But recently I actually got a crazy idea. What if Arceus creates a new legendary for each one that gets captured? That would explain how all the protagonists can store god like beings in a computer indefinitely without the world getting fucked up

    I think the only non canon quests will be the "go there and catch it" one or the ones related to the devs. 

    Also we DON'T know the actual origins of Xerneas and Yveltal, we don't know if they are the onlies one.

     

    In Rejuv there is a zone called "The Archive" where you can find a note that say how humans can become legendaries, precisely legendaries that can control space, time and antimatter, but maybe also other ones. 

    Based on this there is a famous theory that says that Madame-X's Yveltal is:

      Hide contents

    Vitus

    Also we can find two temples with inside Groudon and Kyogre.

     

    Anyway, the devs can always justify them with a space-time distortion.

     

    I'm pretty sure Reborn isn't being made with Rejuvenation's plot in mind, but I trust that the devs will figure out a way to make them compatible. Worst case scenario is that some of Reborn's sidequests might have to be considered "non canon" to Rejuvenation's timeline
