Administrators Amethyst Posted July 26, 2013 Administrators Share Posted July 26, 2013 For once, I'm going to do an announcement entirely straight-faced. little does anyone know it is 2 in the morning i have been uploading for the past seven hours and i am anything but srs and well composed right now and i just fell out of my chair writing that so Okay, so as like everyone and a half knows, the site was down last week. A lot of people already have heard, but basically, what happened? We were attacked. By who, I don't know. Why, I don't know. I'm told that a lot of Pokemon sites have been hit lately though, including Serebii, Smogon, Showdown. So it may have been that string of encounters, or something else. The attack itself only took us down for a little but, but after that our old webhost was like mmm gurl naaah if dis is tha kind o shit peepz gon' be pullin on yo site, you gon' hafta leave. And then they z-snapped at me! Can you believe it!? I couldn't believe it. oh right, i was doing a serious post... So basically we had to find a new webhost migrate everything, and while we're at it, I'm like, let's change the domain. Poke-place was a dinky name I picked when I was 14 because this started out as a site just between my friends and I and I didn't expect it to matter or ever go anywhere. Let's face it. That sounded dorky. So yeah, here we are on pokemonreborn.com. So any link that goes to pokemonreborn.com will actually redirect here for now, however that won't always be the case, so update your bookmarks and get used to this new address. Yeah, the site was out for like a week, but you know, it's okay. Because even when we die, we'll always be... ...Well, you know. So we're here, and as of I think a couple hours ago Nyu gave the last of the thing the once-over so I think we should be in ship-shape. If not I'm sure I'll hear about it soon. The new host also claims to be prepared against that type of attack, so hopefully this doesn't happen in the future either. Now incidentally, that attack coincided with the day of Episode 9's release. But now that we have everything back in order~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Pokemon Reborn IX: Sister's Keeper ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ALL RIGHT. IT'S HERE. YEAAAAAA. A few notes about this. This is a much shorter episode than others- kind of like episode 5 was. Very story-based, no new huge areas to explore, not a lot of sidequests. However, there was a system update, and some other things have been added, so think of it just as the next story chapter + some polishing. I'll post the notable changes taken from the Readme below. Another thing of note, however, is that I've pulled the Animated Sprites. They caused a lot of problems for a lot of people and lagged a lot of others and as cool as they were it quickly became not-worth. Plus when 6th gen rolls around they probably would've gotten cut anyway. Those of us with better computers might miss it, but a lot of people were struggling because of those. a clever person might find that the files for download haven't actually been removed; only the link has. but the clever person would do that at his or her own risk. Also of note: Before I start work on episode 10, I'm going to kind of do a restructure of a lot of things and re-release 9. The purpose of this would be to really try and cull a lot of the lag that occurs around Spinel and the City. However I've been reluctant to do this before because of how unstable this process is. It'll require a lot more testing than an ordinary release. So look out for release 9.5. Download link is below, notable changes in the spoiler. Knock yourselves out, everyone! * The city music is currently in the process of being re-done (3/8)...* A new item has been added: The Common Candy will decrease your Pokemon's level by 1.* A candy shop has been added to Obsidia' Main street.* Partnered Fern will now no longer use Water Sport and is more likely to use Mega Drain* The Strawberry Ice Cream no longer crashes. Vanilla, Chocolate and Strawberry Ice Creams can now be used.* Florinia, Aya, and Serra have all been tweaked to be slightly weaker.

ClockworkTophat Posted July 26, 2013 Share Posted July 26, 2013 Ame, I'm sure that I speak for everyone when I say thank you for all of the time and hard work you have put in to the game. It is such a fun game with an excellent story and amazing music, so this is just to say thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joker Posted July 26, 2013 Share Posted July 26, 2013 The candy shop was awesome. I even got a part time job there working behind the counter. I have enough money saved up for a Dratini should Ame ever stop being a meanie and put Dratini in. Anyway, episode 9 is great and I'm sure you all will enjoy it as much as I did. c: 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JayDo Posted July 27, 2013 Share Posted July 27, 2013 I really enjoyed this episode. It just pisses me off that people are targetting pokemon sites. This has quickly become my favorite pokemon experience in a long time, and the first online anything where I didn't have a second thought about donating to. Ame, we really appreciate all your effort, and I will keep showing my friends this game! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrators Amethyst Posted July 27, 2013 Author Administrators Share Posted July 27, 2013 @ Rapidash - That happens when you don't merge it properly. Either copy it into your episode 8 folder or download the full episode 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nelg0123 Posted July 27, 2013 Share Posted July 27, 2013 Hey Ame , i'm new and I downloaded the game and all....but after beating the first gym leader and talking to Victoria , she won't move at all even after waiting for 5 minutes and I had to reset my game , but she still won't move. Is this a bug in the game? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeoDarklight Posted July 27, 2013 Share Posted July 27, 2013 Trying to interact with the lady at the back of the candy shop doesn't do anything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arom Posted July 27, 2013 Share Posted July 27, 2013 (edited) Well there goes my study time. Is it just me or is the site a little slow? Yeah, I noticed that too, but I don't think that will be too much trouble, so I'll just roll with it. :T Edited July 27, 2013 by Arom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Amethyst Posted July 27, 2013 Author Administrators Share Posted July 27, 2013 Apparently we used about 300 GB of bandwidth yesterday alone. So it might just be the download traffic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arom Posted July 27, 2013 Share Posted July 27, 2013 Well... The game's epic. So I guess that was expected xD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeoDarklight Posted July 28, 2013 Share Posted July 28, 2013 (edited) Apparently we used about 300 GB of bandwidth yesterday alone. So it might just be the download traffic. *Does math* Assuming that they are all downloads of the full game, that is a minimum of 1,000 downloads in one day! But since a lot of them are likely to be just the patches, it's probably closer to 2,000-2,500 downloads. Face it, Ame- people like this game. EDIT: Also, nothing major, but now, after the patch, I've noticed that the game no longer plays a random pokemon cry when pressing c at the title screen to enter the main menu.
