[Not a bug] Defeating Amaria Hasn't Updated Grand Hall

[Titania 5]

Hello all!

 

Sorry if I'm mistaken about what's supposed to happen, but I've heard that in episode 17 it's possible to obtain a mega/z ring once you finish up and defeat Amaria.  I have.  But I don't seem to be able to?  I can't find DJ Arclight anywhere.  I've been told he's supposed to be waiting inside the Grand Hall, but he's not.  Also it was my understanding that every gym badge I acquired would enable me to pay up to renovate a new area of Reborn, and I can't do that either.  My sequencing on that process was defeat Adrien -> renovate railnet -> defeat Titania -> renovate Azurine Island -> defeat Amaria, but I am unable to renovate the slums and still get the usual "we're still finishing up with your last project" message.

 

So my theory is that somehow I managed to beat Amaria but whiff on triggering some flag that would update the Grand Hall?  Or maybe my Grand Hall was just in a bizarre game-state because I failed to kick off some other thing inside it earlier that most people usually do?  Or it's possible that I needed to do something else besides defeat Amaria to trigger these events and I'm just misunderstanding.  I'd really appreciate it if somebody could explain to me what's going on.  My save file is attached.

 

Thank you so much Reborn community!

You have to buy all the pokemon from 7th street.

It's supposed to be that way, you can only renovate one thing in this episode.

Welp!  Well then all is working as intended and I am just woefully misinformed.  Thanks @walpurgis!
