Wait for 19 or play the game now?


Ele

Recommended Posts

I lost my reborn save file and I thought "maybe I should wait for the next episode", at the time it was Episode 18, and when it did come out I didn't even play it. 

  With that out of the way, I'm here to ask - Should I wait for episode 19 or play through the game as it is? or maybe I should wait for more information about the next episode? 

 (and also one other reason might be the problem with gen 8 being added or not).

Ep 19 won't be out for a while ( i don't know how long until it came, probably fastest at 2021 or 2022 ) because they are making another game and drop the development of reborn.

 

So, if you really enjoy playing it, then go ahead and play it again right now. If i'm at your situation, i would definitely replay it because i haven't come upon a fan games that is close to be as good as Pokemon reborn. But, if you don't really like it or don't have enough time to replay it, then just wait until you got more time or when ep 19 came out.

And if you replay it, you could also do it as some kind of challenge, like a mono run which is really fun. I'd recommend it.

 

I think you can't do anything wrong by replaying reborn. One of the best fan made games I've ever played. 

 

Or if you want to have more fun, there is a randomizer available.

Wait for ep19. Other than the new episode content and the huge postgame content, there is going to be a ton of additions, like many more trainers to fight, both for insignificant and important battles.

 

If you played older episodes like 16, you are going to get annoyed by certain gameplay alterations, like enemy trainers avoiding healing items, enemy pokemon using their weakest moves against you once your mon's health drops in orange and AI malfunctions, like constant purposeless switching at points. All those significantly drop the difficulty of the game, or alter the "experience" overall if you prefer. There are hints that AI is going to get polished even further, for ep19, for the better obviously.

 

Also, in ep19, all moves will have proper animations, many of which lack one at present. And don't forget ironing out of bugs. Certain pokemon cannot learn legit moves from move trainers, a few pokemon have issues with their movesets and stuff like that... Which although small, leave a bitter aftertaste in general. Besides, if you 've already beaten the game at least once, there 's little else to do other than battling and trading and even that gets old fast!

The AI updates and animations have already been released.

I've played a bit of Episode 17 and I did find the AI a bit more lackluster compared to the previous episodes, but I don't mind it much. In terms of AI updates and such for the next episode, I intend  to wait for a proper hard mode to be released since there was a hint of that being a feature in a future release post Episode 19.

I wouldn't mind at all replay reborn again just for a hard mode playthrough.

If hard mode doesn't become an official thing , I could do that since I haven't done a proper challenge in a pokemon game before!

Actually, better to play it now, because i have a very bad feeling that delevopers just drop the Reborn in favor of Starlight Divide

They didn't drop the game completely. They're just taking a break from it to work on Starlight's demo.

That's a bad sign, actually. When developers drop their game when it takes quite a bit of effort to complete it, there is nothing good in this. Maybe somebody have another point of view on this, but not me.

I totally respect your opinion, if the developers complete Reborn, I'll just be happy about it. It is better to let the game get a well-deserved end.

Dunno, I think it won't hurt to replay reborn a couple of times, I've already replayed it, like, 5 times?

Never gets old, cuz reborn has quite a replay value - all the quests to complete, mons to catch, story splits to find and experience, there are many different challanges, like other peoole said and it's good to refresh your memory of the story

Plus sometimes there are slight changes of the old content in the new episodes, which also adds to replay value

I'd also recommend playing/ replaying Rejuvenation and it's spin-off as well as Desolation

Either way, E19 won't be released any time soon

Well, it is no secret that the release of EP19 won't be for a while now. Unless Ame, Cass, and the rest of the dev team are pulling a prank on us, and suddenly shadow drop EP19 like Atlus shadow dropped Persona 4 on Steam. And i'd rather not bet on a Reborn shadow drop XD

 

So you will definetely have a lot of time to do play through Reborn, or even Rejuvenation and Desolation, if you want to try these as well.
