Mayflower896 36 Posted December 20, 2018 Share Posted December 20, 2018 In early versions of Rejuvenation, the graphics folder would often include sprites for characters that went unused in the version proper. For example, V5 had early VS sprites for Erick, Flora, Isha, Reina and some other unknown characters. Nowadays, this doesn't really happen. Most of the spoilerific sprites were removed, and newer versions don't contain too many unused sprites. However, one of these mysterious sprites remains in V10: this one. Since he is placed next to Saki and Spector, I think he is a gym leader. As for his type, he looks like an explorer or adventurer, so Ground would fit. Furthermore, I remember someone mentioning that the Ground leader lived in the Badlands; a vast desert filled with ruins, which would be quite fitting for an explorer. As for why his sprite has not been removed... I have no idea. Anyways, seeing how Flora's sprite changed, it will probably be reworked before he actually appears in game. Another interesting thing about this sprite is that all the way back in the V8 Status thread users were speculating about who he was; but didn't come to a satisfying answer. Was he removed from the game? Will we see him in V11? Is he the version's gym leader? What do you think? Link to post Share on other sites

Cerulean Azure Brawler 68 Posted December 21, 2018 Share Posted December 21, 2018 Did you check the interceptor theory? Link to post Share on other sites

I just don't have many ideas about the interceptor, since it was something only revealed in V9. The only idea I have is that the MC 'intercepted' the timeline, since Madame X says you were not present beforehand, being an anomaly. I also think we have little evidence at the moment, but I do like your idea about past interceptors. Link to post Share on other sites
alisekoroleva 61 Posted February 6, 2019 Share Posted February 6, 2019 In my opinion that sprite looks more like Karrina's VS sprite. And if dat's not Karrina's sprite I'm not sure if we can call the person on it "he". As for me that sprite looks more like girl's sprite.(dunno if I wrote that properly :''( ) Link to post Share on other sites
