After 4 months of work (and a year since the first version released), LAWDS version 2.0 is finally done! LAWDS is a difficulty/enhancement mod for Pokemon Rejuvenation aimed to provide a challenging yet satisfying journey through the Aevium region. With multiple difficulty modes, adjustments to Pokemon, and universal changes, LAWDS offers a fresh, original, and challenging Pokemon experience. If you read more and like what you see here, make sure to join our Discord server (linked at the bottom) for updates! Difficulty Overhaul Every single major battle in the game has been heavily reworked to be much more difficult. Other throwaway battles have been retooled into challenging fights, populating the game with many more bosses than in vanilla. These fights are designed to be challenging, memorable, and flavorful, having great variety in Pokémon and fields while staying true to the story and lore of Rejuvenation. Mon Reworks & Custom Crests LAWDS features Pokemon from Gen 9 not available in vanilla. Additionally, every Pokemon has been adjusted in some way, providing new ways to strategize and construct your teams. These changes come in the form of: type changes, moveset additions, different abilities, custom crests, and even full on reworks for some of Pokemon’s forgotten few. Learnsets have been designed with new level caps in mind to create a feeling of smooth, continuous progression throughout the entire game. Battle Mechanics With enhanced difficulty and more engaging gameplay in mind, many battle mechanics have been adjusted for the better. Abilities (as well as moves and items) that were underwhelming or frustrating in the vanilla game have been made more useful, balanced and fun. A handful of original moves and abilities have also been added, enabling new strategies. Custom Aevian Forms We've added several brand-new Aevian forms, each located in a specific part of the region. Each one of these forms gets a completely unique signature move or ability, as well as beautiful custom sprites. Definitely consider using them! Extras We've made heavy changes to many of the game's fields that make them more enjoyable to battle on using a wider range of strategies, adding more variety to battles. These range from adjustments in specific mechanics to revamps of a field's identity. Finally, most fights in LAWDS feature Pulse-3 Pokemon, which have all of their abilities active at once. You'll also be able to find Pulse-3 Pokemon of your own hidden throughout the region! That's all I wanted to cover in this post. Again, join the Discord server to download the mod and stay up-to-date!

08-26-2025 Dev Blog Firstly, sorry for the 3 month delay in posts. Pretty much everyone has been extremely busy with either school, work, or other circumstances, and I myself have been utilizing pretty much every free hour I have to work on story development. For this post, we will be going over some more collab information with Vanguard, a redesigned Aevian form, and some pretty important information on the future of development. Starting with the collaboration, as you probably already saw today in the Discord. Almost a year ago, we announced a collaboration with Pokemon Vanguard, where we traded forms from both projects, as well as added a custom sidequest, and protagonist from Vanguard into Overseers. I am glad to announce that we are once again collaborating, and adding more content to both projects. Project Vanguard will be implementing Aevian Thievul, and Aevian Swanna (known as Overseer Forms in Vanguard) Overseer Files will be receiving Ayreian Hatterene, a Bug/Dark type form. (I don't have art so I'm stealing your banner Ayrei) This form will be available from an exclusive sidequest within the Overseer Files mod. Overseer form locations in Vanguard are to be determined. Continuing on with our redesigns, we have another form redesign to showcase. This form being Aevian Deerling, and Sawsbuck. While Deerling itself hasn't drastically changed too much, Sawsbuck has received a glow up, and is looking fancier than ever. Thank you Omens for the art & redesign. Typing, statline, and moveset will not be changed, this is purely a design overhaul. > Now for probably the most important part of this post, so please read. < To start, when I started Overseer Files, I didn't expect it to grow as large as it was, or contain an overly fleshed out story that we have in the works. Its intended release time was supposed to be a few months, if not a little bit longer. As you can see, that didn't happen! And we are now a year and a half into development. It has been in discussion lately on how we want to handle releasing the mod with how development is going. As mentioned previously, a lot of us have been extremely busy. I myself, am working 5-6 days a week, and 40-45 hours, on closing shifts. I go to work at 11:30am, and come home at 8:00pm, almost every day. Needless to say, I don't have a whole lot of time with these hours! And my job will fire me if I change them (pretty cringe). So! We have devised two solutions, and are leaving it up to the community to decide how to handle releasing the mod. Below will be two options, each with pros, and cons, and a poll you can vote on. Additionally, you can leave a comment if you'd like. If you say anything mean, I'll just delete your vote, and pretend you don't exist. As of now, we have guaranteed that the story for both Paragon, and Renegade, will be split into 4 Acts. 3 main acts, and a postgame. You all have the choice to determine if we release all 4 Acts at once, or split it into 2 parts (Act 1 & 2 for Part 1, Act 3 & Postgame for Part 2). Pros of 1 Part release -Experience the full story and postgame all in one go -Every sidequest, feature, etc. planned for implementation will be present at launch Cons of 1 Part release -Will release much later than a 2 parter release, an ETA cannot be feasibly provided at this time -Later public feedback of cNPC dialogue, fights, navigation etc. -Far more demanding of retained audience hype, which is unreliable given the premise of Overseer Files is a mod within a fangame. As for 2 Part Pros of 2 Part Release -Experience half of the full story sooner -Access every currently revealed Aevian sooner -Earlier public feedback into cNPC dialogue, fights, navigation etc. -Much sooner release expectancy and an ETA public release of 2026 post v14 can be provided -Every cNPC up to tier 3/4 will be fight-able by the end of Part 1 Cons of 2 Part Release -Public/Beta testing periods would effectively have to happen twice, which can drag out all-around dev time -Non-required sidequests planned to be included in the full release will be absent in part 1 -Other miscellaneous features and additions will likely be absent from being obtainable in part 1. Such as boss rematches, certain planned areas, and etc. You may vote on this Google form. There is no set end date at this time for voting. We mainly want to hear what the community has to say. https://forms.gle/SBKGARHKJ27nRurZ7 Now that that's done, have some various screenshots from the Paragon story as a little treat for reading all of that. And finally, as per usual, the next Aevian form reveal Aevian Houndour / Houndoom Art & Design by Chrys Ground / Fairy Type Houndour: They are difficult to spot in their natural desert habitat, since they camouflage easily and are adept at creating illusions. Houndoom: Aevian Houndoom haunt the ruins they used to protect, misleading intruders with their illusions. The sand that makes up Aevian Houndoom's body is said to bring restful sleep. This concludes the post Please check out the poll, as it will really determine how we handle development, and releasing the mod. Also check our Discord for further updates, teasers, and other info.

I posted this on Reddit a few months ago, but I thought I'd share it here as well. I've managed to find all versions of Rejuv and saved all of them to my own Google Drive to make sure they're archived. Thought some of you here might be interested in trying out old Rejuv and see how far the game has evolved. 1. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1FtbfenFuUL_ff-E3nAZ4Ceexbgm6bGGR/view?usp=sharing 2. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1wYLzGvjXk4gmNmwxk6aB66SdGbo375Et/view?usp=sharing 3. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1LDiW3cuhuPjcdkfJkXIdr4sHdm5f-heL/view?usp=sharing - (Credit goes to MoonPaw for digging this one up) 4. https://drive.google.com/file/d/19boRjZ0_PbRzL_pQS8Fwk8p0x44x6SqI/view?usp=sharing 5. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1HBdGbwg5IxOAsKT-OWwI-1j-IEn7IYxW/view?usp=sharing 6. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1S3x9ktKr3SR16byDlPK28ufHODo3Bjrd/view?usp=sharing 7. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1g9FmMfiXSaG3mPEk2H8089LU4Ln1kjUl/view?usp=sharing 8. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1r9HDCZEigPNfrFonGcsO_ZQBEy74a_Kt/view?usp=sharing 9. https://drive.google.com/file/d/13KYoKIvlTJFOMzm2mo-0GI_vOci-xIOg/view?usp=sharing 10. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1arnJn5IaIQXLAZ0WTQdepmiEG4MJfY5X/view?usp=sharing 11. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1pOwQQUUgjRFmvWow5DJbleAfz1FTn23s/view?usp=sharing 12. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1eWDZUz4LkRPxX8ltsEzbTpZsDh_xQ0hv/view?usp=sharing 13. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1O7f89eOvRHPoeZ2HjzuEIz4GRIWz2nTl/view?usp=sharing6 points

Pokemon Reborn has one-thousand, one-hundred, and seventy-nine battles. Now, while a few of these are only available through illegitimate means – such as Tham the Tench Engine and Mr. Meow Mix – and many more are random trainers with no distinguishing features whatsoever, knowing your enemy and knowing yourself can carry you to victory through all of them. About three weeks ago, I decided to start a mono-Bug run, and – inspired by watching Run and Bun videos – wanted to go for as few faints as possible with clear, clean lines. As such, I would need to understand the AI's behavior. However, while the basic information about the AI – it works based off scores for each action it can take – I couldn't find a full document detailing how these scores were calculated anywhere (for good reason), so I (someone with poor reason) decided to make it myself. Anyway, here's a 125 page document detailing the 12676 lines of code that make up the Battle_AI.rb file in the Pokemon Reborn code as of v19.5.26. It's broadly organized into 3 parts: Item AI, switching AI, and move AI, with the vast majority of the doc taken up by move score calculations. I hope it's understandable, please tell me if anything is not, and I damn hope this document helps at least one other person. (Feel free to port this to Google Docs or something, I'm just a "torture myself with Microsoft Office" type of girl). Pokemon Reborn AI.docx5 points

02/14/2025 Dev Blog Welcome to 2025! We're a little late... but don't worry! Progress has been moving along smoothly since the start of the New Year, with most forms being finalized, and general important assets near completion. With the progress that we've made so far, we are on-track for release this year as planned. (As long as v14 doesn't ruin EVERYTHING). As for story writing, I am pleased to announce that Act 1 of Renegade has been finished, and is now being internally tested by the development team! So far, the act is around three and a half hours long for story content alone. This does not include in-depth exploration, side quests, and does not factor how long it takes to complete fights. Act 2, 3, and postgame are intended to be longer, so we can definitely confirm that there will be no shortage of playtime. Act 1 of Paragon will be worked on next, and will not take as long to develop as Act 1 of Renegade, due to some eventing overlaps. From there, we will work on Act 2, and Act 3 of Renegade at the same time, and potentially Postgame as well. From there, we will wrap up Paragon, finalize and sidequests, music tracks, and any other outstanding assets, and hopefully get into a full on internal testing, and beta testing. Thank you all for your patience as we develop all of this! We are excited to showcase the story upon release. Now for actual content to showcase, here's come screenshots from around Aeternus's local businesses, and a new Aevian Form. Second cNPC Submissions About a week ago, we announced that people can submit for a second cNPC within the mod (We need more residents) This is still active, and the guidelines for this are posted in our Discord. I won't be going into it too much on this post, as we have everything needed to be mentioned in the announcements channel. And for this posts form, we have: Aevian Salandit / Salazzle Design & Art by IronicOmens Dark, Dark/Fairy Type Salandit: Native to the Voidal Chasm, these creatures are often compared to Murkrow for their similar fascination with shiny trinkets. Salazzle: Experts at navigating the Voidal Chasm, they'll approach lost people and escort them out. However, these people have found themselves absent of any valuables after being guided away from the Chasm. That's all I have for this post. On the shorter side again, but with story writing, we're definitely limited as to what we can share, so I'll see if I can tease some story content next post! Make sure to check our Discord for semi-regular teasers, and out of context stuff that we post. See you all next time! Overseer Files Discord5 points

Humour me. "Madame X" is obviously the big ticket Da Mystery of the game, because her face is hidden from us and she's called Madame X, which is as "My name is a secret it's hidden woooooooooo" spooky name as it gets. This is despite the fact that actually, very rarely do any of the characters even care about who Madame X is under the mask, and there's even more pressing concerns like "What is Team Xen even trying to DO". Frankly, Madame X isn't even the most interesting character (I actually really dislike her first appearance lol), but even despite this she's STILL the big ticket mystery of the game. Despite this, there's a few things that we do know for sure about her. And I'm going to lead with something that some people try to find ways around, but I think there's just absolutely no way around it. Madame X is a Theolia sibling. Period. I do think we know this for sure. Madame X owns Blacksteeple Castle and an Yveltal. She addresses a mysterious "father" in Blacksteeple castle if her Yveltal loses. Melanie is basically Melia. She calls the same Yveltal, in Blacksteeple castle, "father". It's possible to say "Madame X was just referring to a completely different father", but like, no she wasn't. Let's be real. Can we be real here? I invoke the sacred right of a theorizer to say "Come on, man". Come on, man. This isn't the only evidence towards Madame X being a Theolia. She hates Indriad, as we see in literally the first 10 minutes of the game. She likes Maria and wants her to be safe - but can't save her... yet. So she tells her to be safe and wait. Where does her personal investment in those two come from if she's not one of the Theolia siblings? Madame X feels a mysterious "bond" with Melia, that allowed her to know deep down Melia wasn't really dead. Madame X mysteriously quoted Erin, exactly, to Maria. Erin said the "Don't you dare lose hope" lines to Maria, and the only people around to hear it were the Theolia siblings, Indriad, Anathea, annnnd... the Gardevoir I think. Except Alice and Allen and Maria were unconscious at the time, and also I think Alice and Allen had already been tossed into gen 2. So in reality, only FIVE people in ALL of Rejuvenation could've been reasonably said to have heard it. Madame X has a hatred of imprisonment, like on a visceral level. Madame X has an Yveltal in the first place. But Yveltal is Indriad, or at least Indriad is made up of an Yveltal and a Karma program stuffed together. Madame X must wear her armour. She told us this on the Pyramid. She was trying to trick us and pretend to be weak, but the part about wearing her armour was in the Important Yellow Text For When Things Are Really Really Important. We can assume it's true. Nastasia joined Team Xen because she was looking for her friend, which we know is Maria, and there's some implication I think of having even found her? Madame X basically believes existence is a cycle of suffering, which proves that Team Xen is actually a Buddhist Terrorist Cult who's simply following the Four Noble Truths but they replaced the Fourth one about "following the noble eightfold path" with "Just kill everyone until existence gets it right and stops being suffering". Madame X has a real investment in making history follow a certain path, and the power to do that because she has a Mysterious Artifact That Does it... that Melanie also has by the btw. Back in the Kugearen era, she saves Kanon from death, and forces the Interceptor to rewind their death to get it right. Here's something interesting. Madame X, in Chapter 12, is aware the Interceptor is the Interceptor. But she is not aware in Kugearen. Her speech is all about "What the fuck is so special about you?", and she implies strongly that this is something she's done over and over again. I have a suspicion she's basically savescumming until Team Xen wins using Time Travel, and that's necessary because she has to compete against Spacea and Tiempa trying to do the same thing to force the Interceptor onto a certain path Are we familiar with all of that? Good. Because here's something I've brought up before but I don't think people have really properly thought about, and I think it's the biggest clue to getting it right. Madame X made Clear, Kieran, and the Interceptor check up on Talon and make sure he's okay. Nobody ever really talks about this or thinks about it! And yet, isn't this the most out of character shit we've seen from Madame X ever? We know, because we can see in the future segments, that Madame X's plan is to kill everyone everywhere. Ren admits to M2 in his timeline that "Yeah maybe we'll all die but then we'll be reborn". The only people she's ever shown even an ounce of compassion for are Maria, and Pirate Valarie, and that was apparently just a visceral response to seeing people tied up. Everyone else she believes in Murder Forever. She was even disgusted by Melia reversing Melanie's corruption. So why does she have a soft spot for Talon? You know what else? Talon doesn't exist in previous versions of the game except as a totally offscreen character. That's actually an in universe fact. Talon becomes aware of it after Karma gets to him. So there can't even be an actual connection between Madame X and Talon that we could've seen in any of the actual timelines we've actually seen. And Clear actually gets pissed off about this. She basically says she can't understand why "The Master" - who I think by context with Clear, is clearly Madame X - is so invested in Talon. Madame X is well aware that Karma has infected Talon, so it's not about trying to find out about that. Clear becomes aware of it immediately. Clear suggests it's basically out of pure concern for Talon's welfare. Why? The fact is: Madame X, in this timeline, has never ever ever had the opportunity to know Talon ever, and it is in fact impossible since Talon confirms he didn't exist in previous iterations of Aevium. Despite this, Madame X not only knows about Talon, but cares about him? Well, you can only conclude one thing. Madame X isn't from this universe/timeline. I'm actually going to say she's from a fully parallel universe. Huh. Now wouldn't that be random? No, it wouldn't. I've said this before, but think about how Kieran and Clear are Xara and Jean, but from a parallel universe and as robots. Isn't that random? The answer is: No, it's actually vital and probably solves everything. Let's call this other universe the KCEverse, because Kieran, Clear, and Eden are from that universe... but they're not. In fact, neither Kieran, Clear, or Eden ever set foot in the KCEverse. Ever. They were built by somebody FROM the KCEverse. And they're quite clear that they're meant to be versions of the KCEverse's Xara and Jean. Let's call the person who escaped from the destroyed KCEverse The Escapee. Why? What's the point of that? I'm gonna answer that question with a question. What's the point of Madame X caring so much about Talon? Is there any connection between Talon, Xara, and Jean? We're told that the KCEverse was different, but the people were identical. That means that The Escapee (and Eden, for that matter) have versions of themselves in the universe we play. I've posted before about there probably being a big moonbase connection between Kieran and Clear and Variya and etc, but I kind of ended up dodging the ultimate question of who Madame X was, so I think now I can just come to a safe and definite conclusion - Madame X is the Escapee, who is the KCEverse's Erin. Madame X has to be a Theolia sibling. Madame X has to have a connection to the thing Erin explicitly said to Maria. Madame X hates Indriad. Madame X hates imprisonment - and you can infer from that she probably was imprisoned at some point, like, oh, I dunno, Erin? Erin hates Indriad to the point of calling herself The Devil. Got that? No? Let's get into it more deeply. Which of the Theolia siblings lived in Grand Dream City? Erin. Which of the Theolias could've had a chance to know and get attached to Xara, Jean, and Talon enough to care about them that much? Erin. Which of the Theolias could be smart enough to even conceive of getting Kieran, Clear and Eden built? Erin. And before anyone says "Saki could build them", not only is that subject to "Come on, man", it's been debunked by Zumi. Why would Madame X say exactly the same thing to Maria twice? Because they were two different versions of Erin saying it, one not being aware the other said it. Need more proof? When did Erin even debut in the games? 2017 was the release of V9, The City of Mystery. When has Madame X's identity been locked in from? Huh. What an odd coincidence! It's also 2017! Let's quote Zumi. Huh! Why only 2017? Now of course, it could be "Because everywhere else we spoke about it was on a completely different platform that doesn't have logs available"... but this sounds like Zumi went to some effort to confirm the date, and came up with 2017 in the end. See, 2017 is three years after Rejuvenation V1 first came out. It does imply that Madame X didn't have a real identity in those past versions (I believe it honestly). So, think about it - if she didn't, and you know you need a Big Reveal, what kind of Big Reveal for her identity might you come up with? How about "Melia's sister"? Oh, but you can't do that until you introduce a sister for Melia... and so you introduce Erin. Need more proof? Madame X must be a Theolia sibling, and yet people use the part where she said "My mother died trying to protect me" to prove that she wasn't - because Anathea definitely didn't die that way. But that was just the Anathea of the main universe. If Madame X is the escapee, then the fact that the main universe's Anathea died a different way wouldn't matter. There's another big objection. There's nobody that Erin hates more than Indriad, and yet when she loses, she says "Father, I have lost..." which seems to prove she still respects and answers to Indriad, right? No. Madame X still hates Indriad. She makes it clear in the literal first 10 minutes of the game. In fact, she makes it clear she's seen the same events with Maria happen over and over and over. In fact, is there anyone we're aware of that Madame X hates more than Indriad? Madame X has to be a Theolia sibling, but her memory of her mother's death doesn't match up with what we saw of Anathea's death at all. The conclusion is that she witnessed a totally different death than we did (or became aware of a different one), so she must be from another universe. I feel like that's just an unavoidable conclusion. I mean, the very first Maria and Indriad we meet are from a totally different world, because it's post Storm-9 but the Chrysalis manor is still there and hasn't been turned into the Chrisola Hotel yet (Notice how those two places have such similar names and tilesets and locations.) But then again, it may also be a weird pocket dimension, so, not necessarily conclusive. Need more proof? Let's talk about The Escapee. Is there anything else we can know about them? Yes. We found their house. Remember the Kugearen shack? The one with the Rift Matter journal? Let's take a look at it again. One of the things that stands out the most here are the weird, defaced effigies of Anju and Nymiera, but not Vivian. I've seen it suggested that Nymiera was the owner of this house, which honestly can make sense, because otherwise who made those effigies of the Aevium Fighters? Check that out on the blackboards on the house - we have the Garufa logo, and we have the Archetype drawn up. We also have a map of future Aevium, meaning that without a doubt, this house belongs to a Time Traveller. Then there's a journal, left deliberately for someone to find, to give them important information - which is really just a way to get them to do what the journal owner wants. Now, who, exactly, do we know of that constantly monitors this time period to try to get The Interceptor and their allies to do things they want? Spacea, Tiempa, and... umm... I'm forgetting someone... oh yeah, Madame X. By the way, interesting note: The journal owner speculates about whether it's even worth un-rifting Pokemon. I wonder who'd think of something like that? The presence of the angrily stabbed up Aevium Fighter effigies is interesting, but there's something in this house that's much, much, much more mysterious and important. There's a clue in here that's so big that you can't even press A on it, because if it had to offer any kind of description, it would give too much away. Look in the bottom left. Oh, that's odd. We have three sets of... odd, metallic bodies with empty faces, how interesting. And then spread around near them, on the table and on the table next to it, tools that indicate someone working on or building something. Huh. Where else are there three robots built by a mysterious traveller who seems to know everything important? What you can see on the table there are Kieran, Clear, and Eden. This house belonged to The Escapee. There's no doubt about it to me. It was in this house that Kieran, Clear and Eden were built. They were built by someone who understands the Archetype, knows about Garufa Inc, knows about the future, and was subtly manipulating the person they clearly wanted to come into the house to do things in exactly the way they wanted. There's another argument you could make though. Even if this is The Escapee's house, how do we know that The Escapee is Madame X? Kieran and Clear have always been cagey about whether they're part of Team Xen, but they haven't been cagey about answering to Madame X. They're clear on that. Clear calls her "The Master". Is there some second person out there who built Kieran, Clear and Eden but is not their master, and basically bequeathed them to Madame X instead? I'm gonna invoke my right to say "Come on, man." Need more proof? Well you should, because I actually haven't ruled something out - Madame X being either Maria or Melia. So let me address the Maria part - Nastasia joined Team Xen to find Maria. It sounds like recently she may have gotten closer than ever to finding Maria. Why would she need to find Maria if Maria is Madame X? On the one hand, it would be a really easy way to explain why Nastasia has so much trust in Madame X specifically, and it's always been a popular theory with good reason. It's very hard to discount. But does Maria fit the role of The Escapee? Would Maria have a weird, irrational attachment to Talon, Xara, and Jean, and whoever Eden was? Is Maria known for being Smart As Fuck? For hating Indriad more than anyone else? Let's not forget that in the beginning, Madame X says "How long are you going to torment this girl?" or something like that - she definitely refers to Maria as "this girl", as someone separate from herself. But the Maria theory is strong, and I can't really pretend it's not - but I also can't pretend it's nearly as strong as the Erin theory. But Melia's a different story. Melia was meant to go to Grand Dream City - a parallel Melia could've known Xara, Jean, and Talon. Except... we know what an evil Melia looks like, and it doesn't look like Madame X. Madame X is more like an E2 instead of an M2. And Melia isn't stupid, but I think we can confidently rule out her becoming an engineering genius because she told us outright how bad she is at math. Besides, there's a much more important question: Did Melia even exist in the KCEverse? The Melia part of the post Melia's identity isn't hard to solve. Actually, we know that she has to be the previous host of the Zygarde Entity who had the Zygarde part ripped out to be used as a capture device for Maria's soul after Maria died so that the Archetype and the Archetype user wouldn't be completely lost. Simple really! Let's go over the facts. Melia is Maria. Melia is NOT Maria. Melia asserts BOTH of these facts. At the end of Chapter 15, Melia was saying "Somehow I think I've always known I was Maria", and then that something inside of her was telling her "I am not Maria", like, literally in the same cutscene, right next to each other, she says both of these things. Is she stupid? The answer instead has to be "Both of these things have to be true". So how can you be Maria without being Maria? I'll get to that. Melia is 75 years old. Unlike the other Theolias, Melia's body can't handle the Archetype. She's the only one who can't. In fact, Maria can handle it, and doesn't get Genesis Syndrome. Melia can't handle it, and does get Genesis Syndrome. What age would Erin, Alice and Allen show if you threw them in the Garufa machine? Well, the Calamity happened when Maria was like, what, 5? 8? Relative to the present day in Aevium, it was about... 43-ish years ago or something? No matter what math you do, Melia's actual age makes her much older than any of the Theolia siblings. Even if every single year that Erin, Alice and Allen were in the Gen 2 world counted on the Garufa machine, they'd only get to maybe 59 at best. Hold up a sec though! I've been talking like there's four Theolia siblings, but there's actually a fifth - Zetta. Loosely, anyway. He presents himself like he's Melia's Secret Big Brother, but the most interesting thing about him is - like I've pointed out elsewhere - the New Game+ chessboard calls him The Descendant of Zed. Now, that Solosis's ass isn't descended from anyone called Zed, he's descended from Dittos and other Reuniclus-line Pokemon. So the way in which he's the descendant of Zed musn't come from him, but Melia. It's Melia who's the descendant of Zed. Great. Now who's Zed? There are absolutely no clues, whatsoever, outside of the name. But "Zed" is just how British English pronounces the letter "Z". And "Zetta" is just another variation on the letter "Z", but for people who've played TWEWY, which by the way, Zumi has confirmed Jan has played that if the trainer quotes in GDC didn't tip you off. You know what else is associated with the letter Z? Zygarde. Since Zetta is just a fucked up Solosis, that Solosis cannot be descended from Zed. The one descended from Zed is Melia. That means Melia is descended from the original Zygarde host. In fact, I think Melia was in some way an entity that was meant to be the Zygarde host, and had the Zygarde pulled out, so they could be a Maria host. I can't actually go into all of my reasoning here. But let me ask you this: Is Indriad Yveltal? Here are the two answers. Yes. He's the Yveltal. He had an Yveltal shoved into him. He was made to host the Yveltal. Melanie even calls the Yveltal father. No. He's not the Yveltal. He's just the thing that hosts the Yveltal. The Yveltal was the thing that was shoved into him. Even though he's still connected to the Yveltal and it's how he spies, and the Yveltal can be addressed as father. Indriad is actually the thing that's inside Angie that made her a "Theolia" in the first place, the thing that starts going "Essence", and he was somehow ripped out of the Yveltal. Both of these things are true. In fact, it's the only mechanism in the game by which both of these things can be true. Is Melia Maria? Yes. She has Maria's memories. She remembers Anathea talking to them. She says "Somehow I've always known I was Maria". She is absolutely Maria. No. She says "I am not Maria". She's just 'hosting' a captive Maria spirit, whereas previously she'd have hosted a Zygarde instead, and "been" the Zygarde, now she's 'hosting' Maria, which is why she can't handle the Archetype. Both of these things are true. Outside of being a host, what other way is there in the game for both of these things to be true? Oh, and by the way. Yveltal being liberated from Indriad is how Madame X can call it "Father" without a sense of complete shame. I just figured that out then. As a result - it's not clear that Melia would even be Melia in the KCEverse at all! Think about this. Why is it that Madame X apparently has a soft spot for people from Grand Dream City... but none at all for Melia? The moment she sees Melia in Blacksteeple, she tries to kill her. I mean, I kind of think that moment is just stupid, but when you all try to escape, she sends you all flying, and you're all going to literally die if Nim doesn't save the day. And yet Madame X of all people has sentimental feelings about Talon? How does that make sense? It's easy. KCEverse doesn't have a Melia. KCEverse Erin, The Escapee, did not grow up with a Melia. How on earth she got to Grand Dream from 43 years in the past is another question (one with many answers by the way, you think she couldn't become a teacher at Axis High if necessary?), but there's no doubt that she has no real sentimental attachments to Melia. But she does to Maria, and we know that for a fact. It's because Melia is just a vehicle to get to Maria. She doesn't see Melia as her sister at all because she knows what Melia actually is in the first place! And then let me ask you another question - why does Madame X's armour make her weaker? It's kind of interesting how obviously it's themed after that Gardevoir Erin grew up with, but what kind of power could a human have without the armour? Well, given that she's a Theolia sibling, it obviously has to have something to do with The Archetype. I basically buy the theory that it prevents Madame X from overlapping. And if she can be overlapped, it's because she's from outside of this timeline/universe, and so her duplicate must still be out there. And as far as I'm concerned, that rules out Maria, leaving in only Melia and Erin. And like it just is Erin. Come on. TL;DR Madame X is Erin, Melia is a weird Zygarde host that got made to host Maria instead.5 points

This a small script which repurposes an old essentials function which let you take pixel perfect screenshots. I modified it to change the keybind tthe 'P' key when ingame. The screenshots are stored in the game's root directory in the Screenshots folder. To use, put this file into patch/Mods (create the folder if it doesn't already exist and run the game. System_ScreenshotFix.rb Report any bugs (there really shouldn't be any) here on ping me @paradoxvault in the #reborn-mods channel in the server.4 points

Credits: I do not own any sprite that used in this mod @Fervis for the sprite sheet. Rejuv team for the Harbringer sprite And A spriter in InfinityFusion which i still trying to reconnect with if any of this creators disagree with this I'll remove it from this mod. patch.zip4 points

Reuploaded Spork to fix a game-breaking issue where entering the Battle Cloud would get the player stuck. The player now enters one space above the previous entrance on a passable tile. Additionally, Leafeon Sign autoheal has been added to Legend Dairy, the cave in Weather Wonderland, Norall Mountain Base, the part of Cool Cave where Kyurem is, the first Raila Jungle map from the Sea of Knowledge entrance, and Victory Road4 points

________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Hey everyone! This is the last blog post before the release of the game. So for this final blog post I want to talk about some last minute features that got added, well, only 1 really big one. The fast travel. I was unsure if I wanted to add one, and then I was unsure how I wanted to add it, but I think we got a decent way of doing it. As I mentioned previously, after this release, there will be some more patches, bug fixes, pokemon rebalancing, custom shiny sprites, maybe some new additions, from suggestions, to things we put in the back-burner because we didn't find them necessary to add right now. Game is definitely not going to be perfect, but I do want to try to listen to as much feedback as I can (there's a limit to how much Ill listen though lol). This does also mean that I will finally start searching for more people to join the team. Spriters (Trainer and Pokemon), Concept Artists and Coders mostly. But of course theres other roles to fill, it would help a lot. If any of you are interested tell me, though I would prefer you play the game first. Now without further ado, the title of the update! ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ EPISODE 1: AULD LANG SYNE ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ It's your 18th birthday, and you finally have the chance to search for your mother, who's been missing for as long as you can remember. Taking the League Challenge is nothing but an excuse to explore more locations and search far and wide. But you soon find out there are bigger problems starting to ravage the region. You begin to learn of the origin of the Canòrr region as it's known today and the history of its current King and Queen. As the hidden secrets become divulged, the dots to your missing mother connect more and more. A prophecy older than time, ancient inscriptions, a mysterious royal plot, divination, and magic new and old all collide in a clash that shakes everything you have ever known. Join up with new friends and rivals, as you find your way through unprecedented challenges and enemies. Do everything you can to protect the ones you love. Never back down.4 points

I am currently on a testing phase for a 19.5 version. we comb through the game and look for errors and evaluate difficulty of trainer battles. There is still a lot to do though, and since minor reborn updates come out sporadically there is always an uncertainty that it might crash something. 19.5 also has a small event for terapagos, but the currently released version its a Gift Pokemon that just sits around in the Ogerpon Cave (atop Ametrine Mountain), but I am unsure when it's obtainable in terms of postgame progression currently.4 points

Wow, now having finished playing through Case 20, clocking in at about 68 hours of play (about 6 of which were spent on a certain double battle in some certain woods) I can confidently say that this is my new favorite fangame ever. This game gave me so much joy that I feel like I should try to give something back by sharing my thoughts in what turned into a small novel xD There's so much to gush about I hardly know where to start! I'll try to start broad and get narrower. The structure/conceit: I love the case system. While I enjoy how games like Reborn and Rejuv have integrated gyms into the story, having a completely different way to mark progression made this game really stand out from the crowd. I love how it let all the battles and trainers feel more naturalistic--every opponent's team felt like it was something they would put together, and it meant that there could be stretches of battle-lite play where it felt appropriate. Progression felt more tied to story and character development than you proving yourself as a trainer. Also the case system in general was really fun! I'm a sucker for mysteries and puzzle games and despite how limited the medium of this kind of fangame is technically, the system you built captured the vibe of like a Nancy Drew or Sherlock Holmes game. The mysteries were also well constructed--there were only a few instances were I couldn't figure out what to do next or had to brute force the evidence presentation, and they were uncommon enough that they did not diminish my overall enjoyment. Story - General Vibes: The fucking atmosphere of this game...exquisite, effervescent, empyreal. Noir may be my favorite genre/subgenre, so I am already 100% the target audience here, but holy shit you guys nailed it. The moody jazz ost, the hardboiled internal monologue, the smaller scale urban setting... It's so delightfully contrasted with the simple Gen 3 graphics and the general silliness that is kinda built into Pokemon. In that vein, contrast is something this game does incredibly well. The hardboiled, gritty noir is often lightened by humor and some outright goofy sequences, but those add rather than detract from the tone. It keeps it from being a joyless grim slog and then when the game does decide to get real for a bit, the gut punch leaves you reeling (I still haven't recovered from the end of case 19 ;-; ). I was also impressed and pleased with how well Pokemon are actually integrated into the story and world. I feel like in a number of fangames, Pokemon are just sort of the gameplay vehicle and you could remove them without losing much of the story. But this games actually does the thing I always wanted fangames to do: give you a non-negotiable partner so the game can truly integrate them into the story and gameplay. Even as someone who never had particularly strong feelings about the Swinub line, Truffles instantly became my darling, and I love how she both gets to be a character and that her unique snow-pig attributes get to shine in a variety of ways. (Also, it should be stated that now I do have strong feelings about the Swinub line, thanks to this game!) Story - Characters I feel like most people tend to prefer OC/blank slate/self-insert playable characters in pokemon fangames, not because they're inherently a better fit, but because writing a good protagonist is hard. And if a player doesn't click with the protagonist they're playing, they'll probably bounce off the game. Sylvester Lafayette IV is the exception that proves the rule. He is so well drawn as a character and I was so invested in his story. It certainly doesn't help that he is also the kind of character that is absolute crack for my brain: gruff, repressed stoic, trying to shield his soft heart with cynicism and dissociation (and failing), collects strays and is mad about it, unable to walk away from perceived injustice despite it always leading to trouble... Absolute pathetic wet cat of a man, 10/10 no notes, S-tier blorbo material. And everyone else is so good too! I don't know if there are characters I don't feel strongly about. I love most of them, and the ones I don't like, I get to loathe with the strength of 1000 suns, which is just as fun. Even down to the throw-away npcs like the Number Guy. All their relationships are so well drawn and distinct. My favorites are probably (early-mid game spoilers): Gameplay: I already gushed about the case system above, so I'll talk more about the Pokemon aspect of it. I was playing on normal/medium and found that was mostly the perfect difficulty for me. I wanted to make a team of pokemon that seemed fitting for a PI and/or were obtained through story significant events, which means my team was not particularly optimized. The harder encounters sometimes took a few tries and creative approaches to overcome, but only one fight ever left me frustrated to the point I stopped having fun (again, a certain double battle in some certain woods). There was also a satisfying sense of gameplay/story harmony when (mid-game spoilers) Last Thoughts: I'm very grateful that I found this game when I did. Between being in my last semester of law school and the everything happening in the world right now, I've needed something to latch onto to keep my head above water. Especially since I'm in a video game law class right now, and most days I leave that class feeling like the video games industry is doing everything it can to crush the artistic spirit out of this medium. I don't know if it's common knowledge outside IP law spaces, but there's this overriding theory in both the legal system and industry that no one will make art if they can't make money off it. Coming back here, both to Ashen Frost and the pokemon fangame space in general is such a thorough refutation of that mindset. So thank you again for a bit of respite and fun in a difficult time, and I can't wait for the finale!4 points

Reuploaded Spork Updates: -new custom shiny Leafeon -new custom shiny Sewaddle line -Gina's Sableye has been changed to Haunter (Gym battle)/Mega Gengar (postgame rematch) -Kayla's Leafeon is now shiny Fixes: -the Temple of Time no longer has a battle replay for the battle with Drew at Celium Park that was part of an event that was removed last year, so Dialga should now be obtainable -the legendarysidequests notepad file's information on Dialga is now up to date -interacting with Kelani's battle replay at the Temple of Time no longer gives an option for the Sea Star tournament battle if you haven't gotten to that battle yet This is an early reupload to fix an issue where Dialga was unobtainable due to a removed battle still having been a requirement to obtain it. Shiny Leafeon is autumn-themed, and the shiny Sewaddle line resemble cherry blossoms! An autumn-themed shiny Sewaddle line was originally planned for last reupload, but then I saw that Reborn already did that, so the idea changed to cherry blossoms. I was still able to do an autumn shiny with Leafeon though! Steffi posted the similarity between regular and shiny canon Leafeon and suggested autumn for it! Kayla's Leafeon was made shiny because it matches the colors of her hair and outfit and because she's from Ecruteak City which has autumn-colored trees. Gina originally had Haunter/Gengar, but I swapped it out a few years ago because I thought it had the least connection to her tarot card nickname theme (its name was/is Tower, because they live in the Pokemon Tower in Kanto), but thinking on it now, they're a perfect fit for her as a character. Gina licks peoples' faces, something the Gastly line is also known to do. Gina's Badge is called the Mischief Badge, and the Gastly line are like the archetypal mischief-causing kind of ghosts. I also don't know why I thought the nickname connection was a stretch, but I think if it's a choice between what fits the character and what fits the nickname theme, I should prioritize what fits the character anyway, and the nickname theme can be adjusted if need be. Speaking of autumn, that's the current season, so happy autumn!4 points

Pokémon Resurgence Introducing Pokémon Resurgence! A mod focused on bringing Insurgence's content into Pokémon Rejuvenation! Most features and story content will be featured in this mod, attempting to connect the two games in the best way possible. Revisit Rejuvenation with a breath of fresh air or possibly feel the nostalgia of Insurgence! DISCLAIMER: This mod and its developers are NOT connected directly with the development of Pokémon Insurgence or Rejuvenation or either of their teams whatsoever. This is a fanmade project and is not related to the canon of either of these games. Do not message the Insurgence or Rejuvenation teams regarding any questions or concerns with this mod. Features: - Most Delta Forms and custom Mega Forms from Pokémon Insurgence! - Most custom Insurgence abilities, moves, and items! - Crests for some of the Delta Forms! - Mild rebalancing of some Delta species to make them fit Rejuvenation's balance better. - New quests and puzzles to obtain the Delta Forms scattered throughout the Aevium Region! - Returning characters from Insurgence's storyline integrated into Rejuvenation's plot! - Battle Bond Forms for Greninja, Delphox, and Chesnaught! - Partner Pikachu and Eevee obtainable in-game (along with Mega Forms for the both of them!) - Trainer adjustments to feature the custom forms from Insurgence! - New mega Evolution forms for most of the Aevian Forms, Delta Aggron, and Shadow Mewtwo! - The Frostbite status from PLA replacing the Frozen status, as well as new items, moves, and abilities surrounding the Frostbite mechanic! - A spreadsheet will be included listing out all of the new encounters, quests, puzzles, and item locations. Side Note: The Demo version does not have full implementation of all content yet. Lots of story still needs to still be rewritten and many assets still need to be made. For the most part, this is just meant to give people access to the Delta Forms that have been fully ported over into Rejuvenation. The Delta Starters are obtainable at the start of the game as a choice for your first starter. Go to the door to the back of the starter room and you will have access to them. Also, all the Battle Bond Gen 6 starters are available when you fully evolve them. At the final stage of their evolutionary lines, use an ability capsule on them to switch their ability to Battle Bond. Note for how Noctem, Shadow Sky, and Shadow Dance work: Due to Darkness not being a vanilla weather effect, we had to make a suitable one for Noctem and Shadow Dance. We were too lazy to have to make a new weather, however, and simply decided to use an existing one in Rejuvenation that is mostly unused: Shadow Sky. Currently, Shadow Sky is a weather effect that simply boosts Shadow Pokemon and damages everything else, and it can only be summoned with the Storm-9 ability. So, I decided to use Shadow Sky as the weather to be summoned by Noctem and Shadow Prayer (a new move that's replacing New Moon) instead, but I edited it to be in line a bit more with how Insurgence's Darkness works. Shadow Sky: Increases the power of Shadow, Ghost, and Dark-type moves by 35%. Decreases the power of Fairy-type moves by 25%. Damages all non-Shadow, Ghost, and Dark-type Pokemon by 1/16 of their HP every turn. Lunar Cannon becomes instantly charged under this weather. Pokemon with the Shadow Dance ability increases their Speed by 50%. Additionally, Shadow Dance's ability activates under a Dark Crystal Cavern. Shadow Sky will turn a Crystal Cavern into a Dark Crystal Cavern. Terminates the Rainbow field effect. Synthesis and Morning Sun all have decreased healing under this weather. Moonlight has increased healing under this weather. Solar Beam and Growth fail under this weather. Additionally, Lunar Cannon fails when it's Sunny. Hone Claws' boosts are doubled. Flash's accuracy drop is doubled, Illuminate's Evasion is increased. Geomancy's boosts are halved. Fairy Aura does not boost any attacks. Dark Aura boosts are increased. Phantom Force takes only 1 turn. Reflect and Light Screen have their effects boosted. Nightmare and Bad Dreams have their damage boosted. Download Link: Mirror 1 (MEGA) Mirror 2 (Google Drive) Installation: This mod uses its own customized version of Rejuvenation. You do not need to download Rejuvenation nor merge anything with vanilla Rejuvenation in order to play this mod. Simply download the .zip file from either one of the mirrors above, extract it anywhere you'd like, and run the updater.exe and then you can start the Game.exe. The mod uses a separate save folder from vanilla Rejuvenation, so if you want to port over an existing save you will need to copy your save data from where vanilla Rejuvenation's saves are stored and place it in Resurgence's save location. Updating: This mod comes with its own custom updater that will receive patches through our Github. We will announce whenever a patch is released for players to run their updaters. Guide for Resurgence Content: Link to Guide Things to do: Finish adding documentation for all of the changes made both to some vanilla Pokémon Abilities and Delta Form Abilities, as well as moveset and TM compatibility changes. Finish the Resurgence Discord for people to join and discuss Resurgence's development. Finish up the rest of the back sprites for Insurgence's Custom Forms and incorporate the rest of the forms into Rejuvenation. Make an NPC that allows you to change Delta Muk's form whenever the player wants. Balancing tweaks (if necessary) Animations for moves I'm not the best at pixel art and I'm even worse at animating. This might not come for a while, and I don't like acting like I'm begging for free help here but if there's anyone who can help me with animating moves I'd really appreciate it. Adding more Delta Forms into the mod if possible! Mod Compatibility: (Note: We have not had the chance to test every other Rejuvenation mod with Resurgence. If there is anything that is compatible or non-compatible, please reach out to AsN and he will update this list accordingly.) Compatible Most mods from the QoL Modpack A list of all of the incompatible mods will be listed in the Non-Compatible section. Haru's GBA Cheats Non-Compatible Any large-scale overhaul mods such as: LAWDS Overseer Files Rejuvenation Extreme Gen 9 Encounters Mod Anything non-modular. If it has to replace any of the actual game's files (Scripts, Data, etc.), it's mostly likely not compatible. List of QoL modpack mods that are not compatible: AEC - Mining Overhaul* Universal Accuracy x1.2 Battle_SpeedUp** ShowEnemyStatsOnInspect** *This is already incorporated into Resurgence's base game. **I've made these mods compatible but do not plan on releasing them publicly on this forum. Please visit the Reborn Discord and find them in the 'Resurgence Mod Discussion Thread' if you'd like the compatible versions. Credits: Will be included in a text document within the game's files.

Scroll to the bottom if you're here just for the list Preamble Hello, my name is Siewek, welcome to my megathread about my long standing archival initiative. In this thread I plan to go in detail about my experience delving into the deepest nooks and crannies of the internet in search of past versions of Pokemon Reborn. The initial plan was to have an archive ready for Ame's patrons to download old clients as a curiosity rather than an intended means of experiencing what Reborn has to offer. I'll be sure to provide sources when necessary. It is also important to know that Ame, dev team and supporters are aware that this has been an ongoing project, and everyone has been nothing but supportive from the very beginning. I will also provide a list of whats recovered and whats missing at the end as a TL:DR because not everyone is interested in the entire process. Who am I? I'm Siewek, lost media is one of my passions, I joined Reborn forums in 2021 but have been a fan since high school years. Over the last couple of years in addition to restoring old episodes I've done more archiving work for the website. As of writing this post, I do have some limited moderation powers given to me with trust to take care of "The Vault". What is the Vault? I'm so glad you asked, It's a forum category available for Patreon supporters, containing an organised list of threads depending on the topics, for example Game history, History of the online league. It's nothing anybody cant find on their own, it's just compiled into an easily digestable way of browsing. I've mostly restricted my forum activity to finding old threads, pieces of information, artwork, anything worth archiving and putting it in the vault. The Easy part This archival initiative isn't anything new, there have been couple of people interested in finding working versions of past episodes of reborn, but Im pretty sure it was never done on such a massive scale as I am looking for them, the plan is simple, find at least one working client of every episode from 1-19 and safely store them somewhere, or better, have patreon supporters download them so they don't go missing again. So with hope in my heart, I went on looking. And to my surprise, it was pretty easy, with some minor experience looking for old things very quickly some old threads containing mega.nz links with past episodes emerged, so within couple of days episodes 9, 10, 12-18 were recovered. But for some reason, episode 11 was missing from that list, the links to it were dead or lead to websites that didn't have them anymore. I did eventually recover episode 11 too, although it wasnt as simple as the previous ones, it is safely archived. More on that later.... The not so easy part Unfortunately, this is where things started going downhill and will have to expand on the concept of how past episodes operated. In the very beginning, before Pokemon Reborn was a game, and when the first iterations of the online league were running, Rebornevo was known as Poke-Place.com, It was given the Reborn name because people would leave during school months and then the community would be "Reborn" and come back around summer time. The first community ideas to make a video game centering around Reborn appeared in November 2011, then couple months later Ame drew a map of the Reborn Region and game plans were starting to form, it wasn't just a wild idea anymore. Ame very quickly provided the community with the first build of the game on April 16th 2012 which contained about 4 hours of gameplay (Note: The 4 hours of gameplay back then, was very different than what 4 hours of modern reborn would be, but this post isn't about gameplay), then episode 2 couple months later on may 28th 2012, and that was happening all the way up to episode 8 on may 22nd 2013. All those episodes were available to download under link Poke-place.com/game (which will redirect you here to a website couldnt be found page, but the link is viewable on waybackmachine), and that's pretty much it, this was the only place you could download the game from officially and with every newer release the old files were swapped for new ones under the same link. So why don't you download from the wayback machine if the link is still there? I hear you dear reader, and unfortunately, wayback machine in most cases doesnnt store binary files, only snapshots, the link leading to files PokemonReborn.zip or PokemonRebornS,zip (animated and static sprite versions) doesnt lead anywhere and definitely doesnt lead to files. You can view the website, but no download will actually work (except for some reason episode 14, that could be downloaded through wayback machine, painfully slowly but it worked, but it Im getting ahead of myself). In 2013 the website swapped domains it wasn't poke-place.com anymore, but PokemonReborn.com, that's why wayback machine snapshots for poke-place.com cut off at around 2013 and anything afterwads will redirect you to the new website. Episode 9 and why was it easy to find and Episode 8 isn't In the late stages of episode 8 and later when episode 9 released the game files weren't just downloadable from one link - Ame had started out using mirrors. Episode 8 had been hosted on GameFront.com, while starting with Episode 9 mega.co.nz was added as another mirror. Its also importand to add that the game has started gaining popularity at that point so more and more people had the game and to this day when you ask a Reborn veteran about old clients, the most likely answer you'll hear is "The oldest episode I have i episode IX". Later in 2016 the website domain switched again to what we know and love now, Rebornevo.com. This is overall a good thing, but for an old post enthusiast like me, means that in every thread a link to PokemonReborn.com post goes nowhere, the linked thread does exist in Rebornevo the link is just different, and requires some knowledge of Decipher-Fu dark arts. For instance lets look at my profile, my user id is 100148, my profile on poke-place would look something like this: http://www.poke-place.com/forum/index.php?showuser=100148 (obviously this profile doesnt exist as I registered my account in 2021, long after poke-place became rebornevo), then similar story for pokemonReborn.com: www.pokemonreborn.com/forum/index.php?showuser=100148, but on rebornevo my profile would be: https://www.rebornevo.com/forums/profile/100148-siewek/ so if you found my hypothetical profile on the old domains, you would have to change the link to the rebornevo version to find me, this is the same story for every thread you can find on wayback machine. Okay, Siewek, but you said that episode XI was also gone? So what's with that if there's Mirrors and people dowloaded the game much more? True... and to be honest, I dont know why that specific episode was gone, at that point in time, in early 2014 the game was pretty huge in terms of popularity, some people did have it stored on their devices but for some reason, whenever someone posted a download link, it was broken. And here comes the absolute legend to save the day: MonkeyDog, owner of MonkeyPro.net MonkeyPro.net I cannot bring up MonkeyDog without calling him an absolute legend every time. MonkeyPro was an affiliate site to pokemonReborn, it was actually a community from which Ame started Poke-Place Reborn, the first iteration of the Online League was held there, back in late gen IV days, called MonkeyPro League, I can write a book about everything Online league related but this would be ramble of its own and I promise you Im trying to stay on the track as much as I can, it's just exciting talking about the League. From episode 10 onwars, MonkeyPro.net hosted one of the mirrors for Pokemon Reborn, When browsing old forums posts on MonkeyPro I eventually stumbled upon a post about a website steam group, I found it and joined it, made a post that Im looking for past reborn episodes and waited in the groupchat, not really expecting anything, after some time, Mr Legend MonkeyDog gets back to me, confirming that he did host the game on his website a while back and he should have some working clients somewhere, and surely enough, thanks to him, Episode XI is safely within the archives. Thank you MonkeyDog this is about as far as I'm gonna go into the future episodes, as all 9 onwards are archived and they're no longer relevant to the search, I will be focusing on episodes 8 and below from this point onwards. 10th anniversary of Pokemon Reborn There has been talks in the Chasing Selene patreon discord back in 2022, to ask Ame to rerelease episode 2, as she said she still had Episode 1 and Episode 2 (but not episode 3 onwards Smh my head Ame), and what better occasion than the 10th anniversary of Pokemon Reborn? Episode 19 was already out, most people completed it or were close to completing it, the hype was still very much there (I can argue ep19 hype never went away), It would be awesome to have a way of replaying an episode that's older than 9. On june 15th 2022 Ame made a patreon post containing a zip file with a dev version of episode 2 available for patreons. It is there and available, however since Ame's wish was to keep to to the patreons, I did not add it to the archives but consider it recovered. Why not episode 1 though? I'm gonna quote Ame as I think she said it best, taken from the patreon post: Which I think is fair, I officially drop episode 1 from the search. Also I would like to give special thanks to Cass who has been giving us impromptu performance updates to the episode 2 clients which made it more stable, it was pretty cool. Wait, did you say dev version? Ah, good eye, reader, yes, because it wasn't actually the episode 2 as released, they also had project files, and when playing through it, beating Florinia the game kept on going... and this is the part where normally episode 2 should've ended, and then it kept on going further, right until Taka encounter after which there was nothingness. Apparently this version of "episode 2" is actually partly into episode 3 development, which honestly is nothing to worry about, it was realeased as episode 2, it plays like episode 2 so Im counting it as episode 2. It's 2025 now though? That was 3 years ago Yes, and I wish I had better news, this is the time where pretty much all good news end, and it's just tedioussness and dead ends ahead. I've been doing this project on and off since very late 2021, Clawed through every bit of reborn on the internet I could find, visited every shady website, clicked on every safe or unsafe link, checked every archive, fan game pack, rom hack collection and there is no trace of episodes 3-8 anywhere to be found. I wish that the archive could be complete, but unfortunately I don't think tht will come to fruition ever, but that doesnt mean Im gonna stop trying, let me now talk about all the leads apart from the random websites that may or may not have had the link The best leads Remember when I said I wasn't the only one curious about the old episodes? There are couple of threads on the forums with people asking about them, some even provided some (now dead) links, but because episodes 3-8 were only available to download from poke-place.com/game and then swapped when new episode came out, the best chance for any episode to be recovered, is to start asking people who played the game in 2012-2013 if they still have any files to share, and that's what I've been doing for 2 years now (and continue to do so). I browsed old topics found users active in that timeframe. If you want to help looking for old episodes, please let me ask you to Not be contacting members of the community that are not your friends. Because there is a very high chance that I already contacted them, and it would get really annoying if someone gets multiple messages asking for the same thing, especially when they checked and replied that they don't have it anymore. A lot of people replied to me when I asked them, unfortunately nobody had any game clients I'm looking for, but a lot of other cool stuff unrelated to the game itself was recovered that way, and whenever that happens I count it as a win. There are also other communities that Ame posted about Reborn releases in, like PokeCommunity. Pretty much the same story there, I did manage to get in contact with couple of the people who replied to the Reborn thread on their website, some got back to me, some didint, but everyone who did had the same sad news that they did have it at one point, but not anymore. Sadly this is to be expected as those clients are 12-13 years old now and pretty much everybody swapped their main PC at least once in that timeframe. Sadly, there is nothing to be found on Pokecommunity Reborn clients related anymore, Thank you to everyone who replied to me though. It is unfortunate, but the best lead still is a very very slight chance that maybe, MAYBE someone kept the files on their device, just gotta keep banging my head against the wall and who knows, maybe I'll get lucky. Time unfortunately isn't on my side, as I have a real life that sometimes needs my attention (like a full time job etc etc), and also the older the clients get, the higher chance that they get removed if they werent already. This sucks. Gamefront.com I actually managed to get in contact with a GameFront dev, because there was that link to a file they hosted at some point... and maybe the links were just moved rather than files removed.... and it unfortunately turned out to be another dead end. He went into detail about what happened and why it's not there anymore, I will quote what he said when I provided the links where the files used to be: Unfortunately, episode 8 was stored as Ame's personal link, and it's gone forever. Youtubers Pokemon Reborn has started gaining popularity largely after Shofu started playing it back in episode 7, this is probably my biggest hope that at least episode 8 and maybe episode 7 are still findable, the problem is, people who were interested in playing the game without being part of the community... are kind of hard to find. I did email Shofu's buisness email at some point asking whether maybe he has it, unsurprisingly this email went unsanswered. Shofu has a subscription discord server, to which I have no access because I am not one of his twitch subscriber. I may be letting you down slightly dear reader, but this is I think the only lead that came to my mind that I didn't explore yet, I did not join that discord and I didnt ask... yet. There is a very very slim chance someone thete might have it, but there has been so many slight chances by this point that I will get my hopes up only when I see the files. But Shofu wasn't the first youtuber to play Reborn, there were couple of them before, mainly FrickingNick and TheGamersTree. where they have content that goes as far as episode 4, which is crazy. I am pretty sure Tristen from TheGamersTree is the earliers recorded lets play of Reborn, so there's the live proof that they DID have the game at one point, but like I said, I was out of good news, I talked to both Nick and Tristen and unfortunately they didn't have it anymore. Very cool guys though. As far as random videos go, there are some 12 year old guides on how to install pokemon Reborn, but they link poke-place.com/game as their source, and as we established already, the files are gone. Lost media communities This lead has some potential, but Im afraid not a lot, I did make a post on r/help_me_find and r/lostmedia which didn't get a single bit of attention, and even if they would, Im afraid that because the timeframe of the episode 3-8 is so short, at being only 1 specific year before the game got very popular, the actual audience was seasoned Rebornians who are in a lot of cases not active in the forums or on discord, the actual amount people who downloaded episodes 3-6 is pretty low. There is that slightly higher chance for episode 7 and 8, but considering that I had no luck finding episode 8 which is the latest one Im looking for right now, I don't think realistically this search can go much further by myself. The outcome looks bleak not gonna lie It has been around 4 years of searching for me, It's a very exciting journey and Im not saying Im ending it, I will continue to update this thread whenever something pops up. I dont think there has ever been a search conducted on such a large scale before, and the fact that going profile to profile asking "do you have an old reborn client" (more respectively than that ofc) is my best option doesn't fill me with much confidence, but every once in a while I get a new dose of inspiration and each time I come back to this, which I do more often than I thought I would, I discover something new, Reborn really is an endless source of curious info and I am never not impressed by the scale of this. Im getting towards the end I swear Okay, I wasn't entirely honest about that whole episode 8 thing, there is something I found, and it's pretty bizarre. When Episode 9 released, apparently there was a game breaking glitch with frames, and the solution for it was to boot up episode 8, change frames back to default and then update the game to episode 9. At one point Ame created a mockup version of episode 8 called FrameResetter, which was very very cropped version of episode 8 and I did find a stray link leading to it, because it wasn't hosted on the downloads page, but rather linked withint a forum thread. I do have the frame resetter, it does run you can technically play it, but there's no sound and I don't actually know how far it goes, since it was a mockup version of episode 8, Im not counting it towards restoration project but I thought it was important to mention this. So what's my point? I guess now that I wrote about the journey to right now, my point would be: If you played Pokemon reborn episode 3-8 at any point please please please check if you still have the files and reach out to me. This is the only realistic way the episodes may be restored, I've done all I can and it would mean the world to me if at least one more episode would resurface. Here's the list of what's archived and what's not: Episode 2: Archived Episode 3: Missing Episode 4: Missing Episode 5: Missing Episode 6: Missing Episode 7: Missing Episode 8: Missing Episode 9: Archived Episode 10: Archived Episode 11: Archived Episode 12: Archived Episode 13: Archived Episode 14: Archived Episode 15: Archived Episode 16: Archived Episode 17: Archived Episode 18: Archived Episode 19: Archived By Archived I mean that one OR MORE versions of that episode have resurfaced. If You're interested in a link to the archives so you can play old episodes easily yourself, IF I get a greenlight from Ame to release them, I will update the thread with the link. As of this moment the archives are available for patrons. Another important information about the old episodes, is that you DO NOT need the play through them to experience Pokemon Reborn as it was intended to be experienced, objectively the past episodes are worse in every way than the modern Reborn, and they should be treated as curiosities, a way to look at how things were back then and how good we have it now. Thank you so much for reading my post, I plan to be active within this thread and hopefully at least this was an interesting read.3 points

Reuploaded DDDL and Spork: DDDL: -added Natalie VS sprite -added new Game.exe icon Spork Updates: -added Ceolis, Rania, Brutus, Kayla, and Natalie VS sprites made by Palletite -several new custom shinies made by Steffi! Bidoof line, Farfetch'd (based on Hatsune Miku), and Articuno -new Game.exe icon made by Steffi -Tapu Lele quest has been changed: instead of backtracking to each Holiday Pokemon and placing them on all the panels in Isabelle's Gym, now the panels will take you to a small arena in the Distortion World where you battle each Holiday Pokemon and they have teams based on their holiday. (the second part of the quest with the Espurr is still the same) -Cresselia quest has been changed: it's still at Lunar Lake at night, but now interacting with it takes you to a dream with Delicia, Sushi, and Carol. There is no battle, and you get Cresselia after the dream -expanded on how Triston came upon Hoopa's bottle. Previously he said a guest gave it to him for decoration. Now, it was the sailor with the submarine that takes guests between Inoset Island and the Underwater Hotel. He found it in his submarine one day and didn't know how it got there, and gave it to Triston -Litwick has a small appearance sitting at a table in Gina's Gym. Speaking to Litwick is optional and it will be gone after the Gym battle with Gina Spork Fixes: -Rania's postgame rematch at her Training Gym now has a Yes/No option like the other postgame rematches There's a new batch of VS sprites! This time we have Ceolis and the Frontier Brains (aside from Felicia, who already had a VS sprite). I was especially amazed at how Ceolis turned out! The techniques that Palletite and Steffi used for his trainer sprite didn't seem to be available on Windows 11, so they experimented with new styles. The VS sprite definitely gives final battle vibes with all the effects, and that's probably close to the level of challenge it was to create it. I think it came out amazing! There's a batch of new shinies too! Farfecth'd is based on Hatsune Miku because they both have a leek (Galarian Farfetch'd and Sirfetch'd will be coming in the future!). Bidoof and Bibarel were inspired by cotton candy and Danganronpa. I forgot to ask what Articuno was based on (maybe the Galarian form?) but I like the purple! Finally for new graphics, Spork has its own Game.exe icon now! Previously it used the RPG Maker's default sun icon, now it has a spork icon! The Delicia sidegames also have it. I'd always wanted Spork to have its own icon before, and now it does! Here's what it looks like: Thanks to Palletite and Steffi for all the new art for this reupload! 5 VS Sprites, 3 custom shiny lines, and a new Game icon is a lot! Sidenote: I learned yesterday from a PM conversation where I was helping someone with the Crystal Caverns puzzle that Imgur images don't display in the UK anymore, so I've switched to using the snipping tool (thanks to that user for the recommendation!). I had heard about the UK having new policies with regards to Internet access and age verification recently, but didn't know the exact details or that Imgur was affected. I apologize if any of the images in the posts here weren't showing up for anyone. All the images on the first post for Spork and the Delicia sidegames threads have been redone with the snipping tool, and all of the images in this post use it too. I might also redo the images for all the previous reuploads from this year in the next few days. Starting on October 18, I'll be away again for a while, and I'm not sure for how long. Probably longer than the other two trips this year that were around a week, but I don't know the length of time for sure. I won't be able to help anyone with save file issues during that time, but I'll be able to log in occasionally on mobile. I'll see you when I can, and thanks for sticking around!3 points

While this has been pinned in the rebornevo discord server, I also think it’s wise to post here. I made a new damage calc! https://reborn.rebornversecalc.com !! Go check it out! Should have every trainer, main game and postgame, various changes to the damage calculation formula to make it more accurate to how it will work come 19.6 (the current formula is very somewhat to canon), and more features I hope will help in calcing. There’s also plans for a rejuv and deso calcs, though those are extremely under construction and I don’t have personal plans to do significant work on them. If you want to help with developing them - or adding to the reborn calc - feel free to reply!3 points

DDDL: -added VS sprites for Delicia and Crolea -added item Jubilife Muffin (available at Olidroll Sweets Shop) -Frustration TM changed to Secret Power -fainting and herbs no longer lower a Pokemon's happiness Spork Updates: -added VS sprites for human player characters, rivals, Gym Leaders, Elite Four + Agne, Team Portal, and Smoothie; made by Palletite -new custom shiny Throh and Sawk; made by Steffi and based on Bert and Ernie from Sesame Street -added a way to keep track of guests you've already talked to at Crolea's birthday party -added item Jubilife Muffin (available at Olidroll Sweets Shop) -in some conversations, Raymond will now have dialogue acknowledging if the player has done any police quests -at starter selection, regional variants are now selectable both in the original form's region and in the region they're a variant in (ex: Alolan Vulpix was already in the Alola room, now it's also selectable through regular Vulpix in the Kanto room, etc.) -added a line of dialogue for Litwick at starter selection if you choose Buneary (wondering how it forgot since you and Emily both have one), and Staryu if you're playing as Sierran (referencing Sierran's Staryu hair clip) -added expanded choice menu to the Family Feud and Food Fight battle selection in Sushi's dream arena -added female Eevee sprites (made by Vince&Sylveon) -credits have been updated (VS sprites; Headphones Badge credit was missing for Steffi) -added the happiness changes from last reupload to the evomethodsandotherchanges notepad file Spork Fixes: -the Battle Frontier now unlocks when it's intended to; it's been inaccessible since the Serafew and Veyle map revamps because I used the wrong control switch for the door -Grim Neigh and Chilling Neigh now activate after an opponent faints instead of every time you attack -Belinda, Belladonna, and Ryoko's battles in Sushi's dream arena now play (they were still scripted with the Simulation trainer class from before they had their own sprites, and instead of activating the battles the game would ask if you wanted to add them as trainers) -player is no longer layered over the couches at the Ceolis Ranger Base -Feud is no longer misspelled as Fued for the Family Feud battles in Sushi's dream arena and when it's mentioned in the legendarysidequests notepad file -the display location data on the region map for Staryu Cove and Serenity Seaside is now correct (they were in the opposite places) It's exciting to have VS sprites in the public download now! They've been in the works for a while - the first batch was the Gym Leaders, which were started in February. Thanks to Palletite for making them, I really love how they all came out! The VS sprites I showed at the top of the post were a mix of some of my favorites and ones I thought would be fitting to place next to the players. In regards to the shiny Phanpy line I mentioned in the last post, it's still in development and has expanded beyond just shinies. Steffi wanted to do a post of her own when the time comes, so I won't go into many details about it here yet. However, Steffi did make shinies for Throh and Sawk this morning based on Bert and Ernie from Sesame Street! I was surprised to see them when I woke up, and I think it's a cute idea! Rejuvenation used to have Bert and Ernie shinies for Throh and Sawk too, but looking at the current version, it seems they've been changed. I guess we can keep the legacy going! While this is an emergency reupload to allow access to the Battle Frontier after the issue was reported yesterday, there's a ton of updates this time! Phanpy became more ambitious, and there are more VS sprites on the way (Enigma asked for Kelani and Alexander), but this still feels like a great spot to update on! Welcome to Spork Street!3 points

Pokemon Oblivion is a fangame that I have been working on, entirely solo, for about a year. It is loosely a Rebornian-style game, as it features field effects, but there are many new mechanical changes to many areas of Pokemon. There is a new "gimmick mechanic" in this game, similar to z-moves or dynamax, which is the Role system. More info about it in the video linked below. There is currently no released demo. I will be releasing video dev blogs on YouTube, the first of which is linked below. Join the Pokemon Oblivion discord server for updates: https://discord.gg/smC3yMS6re3 points

Reuploaded Spork: -new custom shiny Flygon line; Trapinch made by me, Vibrava made by Steffi, and Flygon made by Palletite -on Orange's team, changed Hariyama to Pawmot (nickname Kiriko) -changed Carol's birthplace from Cianosa City to Ballonlea, Galar -expanded the conversation where Emily meets Crolea for the first time in Ocean Coast -added a few NPCs A shiny Flygon line with trans flag colors was Steffi's idea! Each of us worked on a different stage of the line, and had different references and inspirations for the shades. I'm not sure what Palletite's references were for Flygon, but for Trapinch, I used shades from an image I saw of a keyboard with trans colors that I thought looked cool, and Steffi's Vibrava was partly based on the Transpinch colors and also directly from the trans flag. I'm happy we were able to finish it for Pride Month! Aside from the new shiny line, there isn't as much content in this reupload because it comes between two short periods where I was/will be away (I got back on June 6, and I'll be away for around a week or two again starting July 3), and was also playing Deltarune. The change on Orange's team is because I suddenly started wondering if there are any orange Pokemon in Gen 9 that could fit Orange, and Pawmot seemed perfect with its friendly expression and Revival Blessing (although I wasn't able to add it to Spork) while Orange likes to help people. The nickname isn't a perfect match because Kiriko is a more sinister doctor, but I wasn't able to find much in the way of 100% Orange Juice characters with electric attacks, and Kiriko seemed the closest match to Pawmot with the doctor/Revival Blessing connection (maybe Double Shock could also be seen as a defibrillator?). Happy Pride Month!3 points

Reuploaded DDDL and Spork DDDL: -second half of Colorful Reupload Spork Updates: -second half of Colorful Reupload -added a nurse and Fly spot to Giggly Grove -did a rewrite of the BCC. Before, Quinn said that the BCC only returned what they had no use for, and that donations were made to undercover Team Portal agents. Now, the returns and donations were genuine. While the main purpose of the BCC was still to find the bottle, the volunteer work they did was now 100% real -added Eeveelution Zodiac signs to character section in Data Vault, in the stats/demographics part -the eeveelutionzodiacguide notepad file now mentions that the Espeon Sign automatically solves Angela's Gym puzzle -when speaking to Triston at the Underwater Hotel after it reopens, he now gives you a Room Service after he mentions the room service on the 4th floor room -added regional dialogue for Hoenn, Unova, Alola, Galar, and Paldea when the player meets up with Emily and Crolea at the entrance to Dyserean Desert; Emily mentions the deserts in those regions -added several NPCs Spork Fixes: -Belinda and Belladonna are no longer still in the Olidroll Department Store after Crolea's birthday party -can no longer walk through a plant in the back room of the Ceolis Ranger Base -can no longer walk up the Rap Battle House doors after exiting the building -fixed typo when Tomas gives you the Toxic TM after the Gym battle: "additon" -> addition -fixed typo when given the option for Wendy's postgame rematch: "(Postgame rematches?)" -> "(Postgame rematch?)" -fixed some incorrect and outdated information in the obtainablepokemon notepad file: the file said that Great Tusk is found in the Alumia's Appliances Temple of Time portal instead of the Mudslinger Pavilion portal the Paradox Pokemon found at the Mudslinger Pavilion portal still said the Marvelous Marsh portal, from before the Gym moved after the revamps I've mentioned the Colorful Reupload a couple times before. In 2021, I brought it up as a future plan where some regular trainer classes and NPCs would be getting new outfit and hair colors, and the first half was in a 2023 reupload. Now the Colorful Reupload is complete thanks to Palletite! Here are the trainers whose sprites got updated this time: Pokemon Ranger: their outfits are now different shades of green, green being a color associated with nature and matching Seamus's Grass-type specialization. Their hair colors also represent a different aspect of nature, with green (plants), brown (logs, trees, sand, and mud), pink (cherry blossoms), and blue (water) Lady: they have red hair for because they're rappers, and some of them have black dresses which I just thought looked cool with the red hair Maid: they have now the black and white colors usually associated with maid uniforms, and their hair is mint. I don't know if this was intended, but the hair color kind of reminds me of feather dusters which is fitting! Martial Artist: their uniforms are red and black Beauty: outfit and hair colors are based on Volcarona and Frosmoth Starting Wednesday May 28, I'll be away for an unknown amount of time. My understanding is that it seems like it'll be more than a week, but less than a month. And then I'll be away for some time at the start of July too. But it's possible for details to change. I only knew about this as of 2 days ago. During that time, I won't be able to be on as much to check if anyone needs help, and won't be able to do anything like fixing save files. I'm glad I was able to reupload before then. Thanks again to Palletite for the Colorful Reupload sprites, and I'll see you all again for the next reupload whenever I'm able!3 points

________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Welcome one and all! I am pleased to announce I'll be opening up positions for beta testing the game before it's release. As you can see below, it's done. the Shinys aren't completed but that was never a focus, they will be done one day. The game goes up to the second gym, and then there's a bit of story afterwards. It's not super long, but I think that there's a decent amount of content to play through! If you're interested in beta testing, you can DM me here on Rebornevo, EeveeExpo or even on discord! I am also on the RebornEvo discord, I talk often in the #pokemon-fangames, #game-development or #anime chats. I don't know how many people I will want to play test, but for now, its a free for all and I'll accept any number. I'll start adding people to the beta testing server from next week onwards, but you're free to contact me beforehand! ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Now. I need to talk about what will happen after this releases, there will be of course a few bug fix patches, these bug fixes will contain the usual bug and typo corrections, but also Pokémon Rebalancing (I haven't finished doing that), Difficulty Tweaks and also one more side quest that I was too lazy to add.

04-02-2025 Dev Blog Don't worry, there was no Rick Roll this year for April Fools. Instead we had a hostile takeover of power, and sheer chaos. Fun times! We've got a few things to tease for this post, some new items, and contest winners for an Aevian event that was on-going in the Discord! Starting with some silly story snippets. Make the right choice, you know what has to be done. You'll stumble upon this peculiar Umbreon a few times throughout the events of Overseer. What could it mean? I guess you'll just have to wait and see. She is in fact, still armed. The grudge between these two expands back far further than it would seem. Your options will determine what happens next. Make the right choice... or don't! New Crests! I feel these crests are deeply sought after by the community in general. Especially with some other evolutions receiving the same treatment, so, without further ado. Vaporeon Crest "Gains Fire-type STAB. Normal-type moves become Fire-type. Heals 1/16th of its HP each turn." Jolteon Crest "Gains Water-type STAB. Normal-type moves become Water-type. Attack scales with Special Attack." Flareon Crest "Gains Electric-type STAB. Normal-type moves become Electric-type. Speed boosted by 40%." These crests will be exclusive to the Pinnacle, and can be obtained through a lore-relevant sidequest! Event Winners / New Aevian Form In our public Discord server, we put out an announcement last week for a new community event! That event was filling in a sketch for one of our new Aevian Forms. Whoever had the closest color-palate to the original would win. Now, to be quite honest, no one was that close. There were a lot of submissions for some crazy color combos, and some other unique looking designs. The winners were based on who had the closest color to one of the genders/the closest shade of color. Do also keep in mind that this design has never been shown outside of the developer server. The winners for the Male form are: Minbo & Seren (Both had close aspects to the original, so we decided both would win) The winners for the Female form are: Ronin And finally, the Aevian forms Aevian Buizel / Floatzel Design & Art by Moonpaw Normal, Ghost/Normal Type Buizel: Aevian Buizel descend from Buizel who were born without a flotation sac. After being shunned and driven away, it uses wisps as a suitable replacement for its missing collar. Floatzel: It has collected enough wisps to mimic the flotation sacs that its Sinnohan brethren have. They are very proud of their collection, and will often preserve their wisps at all costs. Additionally, have some undocumented information, provided by the Research Division No further information can be provided at this time. And that's all for this post. We'll be back soon with more updates on development as we continue! Congratulations to the winners of the event, and please reach out to an Overseer for your reward Overseer Files Discord3 points

Reuploaded DDDL and Spork DDDL: -changed Crolea's Inkay to Blipbug (nickname Saucer) Spork: -changed two Pokemon on Crolea's team: Inkay/Malamar and Onix/(Mega) Steelix are now Minior (nickname Meteor) and Dottler/(Mega) Orbeetle (nickname Saucer) -changed Ivan's Slowking to Palafin (nickname Paladin) -changed the Poke Ball starter item gift with Nincada to a Dusk Stone, since that's how it evolves into Shedinja as of last year after it was reported that the canon evo method wasn't working -Steelixite is now located at Olidroll Underground -Bolaii Bar is now a soda parlor where you can buy Soda Pop -after finishing the Cleanup Collaboration ranger quest, the NPC behind the counter at the Soda Parlor will be in front of the building and give you a Soda Pop as thanks -following last reupload, I've finished expanding the choice menus for when you have more than four answer options Specifically, the following menus will now show all answer options at once: move tutors, Sea Star Society vendors at the Shopping and Food sections, choosing your home region at the Tourist Info Center, helping Portal Agent Terrence decide what to order at the Battle Factory restaurant, prize vendors at the Battle Frontier, and the character simulations at Planet Spork. I was going to do the Battle Factory rental lists too, but there are so many Pokemon that they don't all fit in one text command, even with extendtext. I'd been thinking about Crolea's team changes for a while. Earlier this year, I started questioning the connection between Steelix and space. Apparently they can burrow close to the planet's core, which I'm guessing was my thought process there because its nickname was Core, but that sounds more closely related to geology than space. Orbeetle seemed like a great candidate for a space-related mega, since it looks like a UFO! As for Minior, I thought Crolea would really like them, the Violet Core Minior goes well with Crolea's dress, and Crolea gets a Comet Shard birthday present. Malamar fit the team theme perfectly fine and it was a tough decision to switch it out, but Isabelle and Peach still have one! Plus its nickname was Alien, and there's still Celesteela on Crolea's team! Ivan's was a sudden realization that Palafin would work well with his team theme, and since having a King and an Emperor might be repetitive, I switched out Slowking since I think Empoleon's more serious nature fits Ivan better. 2024 felt like a weird year in terms of reupload times. I was going to say that sometimes there were larger gaps than usual between reuploads, but looking back at timestamps from older posts, it doesn't seem like it's all that different to past years. It still feels different to me for some reason though. Maybe I feel like I fumbled a bit towards the end of the year with the Serenity Seaside house stuff, which led to a few reuploads having a lot less updates than originally planned. And the past couple weeks have basically been one reupload split into three, since I needed to reupload early twice due to major bugs. I've still enjoyed working on Spork though, and I'm excited to continue making updates! Happy Holidays!3 points

Hello everyone! I apologize for the long hibernation, a lot of RL stuff (still a lot to do so less time), but I will slowly begin to work back on the mod. First of all, since other developers mentioned and suggested to wait while a Gen 9 Support is being worked on, AND the newest Update getting Patches almost every wekk, I will focus on the current version (19.17) This also lightens the work to transfer and rewrite all scripts for the new version since there will be scripts available (and probably more cleaned up than my homebrew scripts lol) I will concentrate on bug fixes and probably postgame content until then and meanwhile slowly accustom to the new codewriting of 19.5. Since i had a long pause, I will also need some time to get back to map editing and coding in general, so I expect it to take some time for the first update to come out.3 points

Y los errores de tipeo, aka los gramaticales, son los mismos que la version anterior...por que he usado su traduccion. No hay mas. Aun estoy restaurando el mod antes de que poder corregirlo yo mismo, por que yo he visto los errores, los grunts se llaman gruñoncitos, yo he visto la mierda que hay jaja. Hare un esfuerzo pero tomara su tiempo.2 points

Glad you had a good time! I am currently working on transferring most parts (even though there's gonna be gen8/9 support for modders in some months) i currently finished implementing gen8 content (at least code-wise and sprites etc), though i cannot say how long it will take to add the rest of the content, so i cannot set an explicit date. Especially since i want to redo the whole trainer teams and encounters its gonna take at least a month or two, probably.2 points
