Hello all, it's me Not Steffi. I'm a Leader, Dev, and more on Team Spork. I thought I'd take this opportunity to thank each and everyone one of you, the ones who have worked on Spork, and the creator herself. Isaac is a very special character to me personality as well as represents calamity and consideration in chaos. Through experiencing eir's story I hope to paint some representation as well as the influence a person can make on other's lives simply by being there. As Miss ICSW said, I am currently working on this massive shiny haul know as the Phanpy project. In the Pokémon cannon there has been regional forms discovered. The Phanpy are something just like that, and their variants in this context are Ceolis forms! There are going to countless colors as well as references to the Sonic Team, so please look forward to our project coming the new year! The title screen is in the works, which may or may not appear by the New Year. Regardless, we still celebrate Spork's 10th Anniversary! If you would like more Development News and Easter Eggs about Pokémon Spork, please either PM me or Ice Cream Sand Witch for a link to our secret NewsLetter. Thank you, and enjoy your vacation on Ceolis!

Spoon Peak Spork has a new character! This is what I meant with Steffi hoping for me to add by Christmas. Isaac wasn't originally created for Spork; Steffi created Isaac in 2015 during a low mental health point and recently has been wanting to reforge Isaac into a more positive direction. Steffi even created custom sprites for Isaac's team! One of them is in the screenshots above. "Not Absol" looks like a regular Mega Absol with Mega Absol Z's color scheme, and Mega Evolves into the latter. Another of my favorites is "Halves", an Umbreon whose eyes and rings are a mix of the regular and shiny! Also, a fun fact is that the pattern on Isaac's shirt is based on Mega Ampharos' tail fluff. Isaac's current appearances are at the Vitamin Factory, the Bombirdier quest where you team up to battle the Bombirdier, Crolea's birthday party, the Volto quest at the Sea Star Society, and Opaque Valley for the Absolite Z and a postgame battle. I have a couple other possible ideas for Isaac events sometime that I need to flesh out more first, and Enigma has also added Isaac to the final battle with Team Portal for the next batch of map revamps (which will include a completely new map)! There are lots of new shinies too! Armarouge and Ceruledge are based on X and Zero from Mega Man X, Skitty was based on a Skitty with the same colors that Steffi drew for Huevember in 2019, and G-Farfetch'd is a continuation of the Farfetch'd Miku shiny from a couple months ago. Sirfetch'd will be coming in the future! 2025 was a really big year for Spork! It's also the 10 year anniversary of when I started working on it. Spork started development in the summer of 2015. By the end of that year, I had made all the (old) maps for episode 1, which went up to the 5th Gym, but I stopped working on it for a few months. I think it was some combination of lacking confidence on whether I'd actually be able to finish it, and just doing other things. I got back to it in the spring of 2016, and released the first episode in July that year. There were a lot of bugs, the maps were wide and empty, and the character sprites were recolors. Thanks to other team members that have joined to help, and to players giving feedback and reporting bugs, we've come a very long way since then. Thanks to Enigma, the region looks completely different from how it was originally, and we're approaching the final stretch to having the entire game's maps updated. The Team Portal HQ raid is currently in progress, with a new set of events and puzzles, and the screenshots I've seen of the new Lightning Lounge look amazing! Thanks to Palletite and Steffi, Spork's characters have their own unique designs, and there are even some custom shinies! There are some currently in the works, along with the Phanpy project I mentioned earlier this year which has continued progress. Vince&Sylveon actually made art for the 10 year anniversary, and Steffi is shading it, after which it will appear after the title screen! Happy holidays! Thanks for sticking around, and thanks to everyone who's helped out with Spork in any way over the years! I'm grateful for every one of you!

12-15-2025 Dev Blog Checks calendar Oh. It's been awhile... Whoops. Don't worry though, there hasn't been any delays in development, and everything is continuing as planned. The holiday's have definitely slowed some things down, but that is to be expected. Now, this post is going to be pretty big, and so some things will be split into a separate post. And that's because the mod is now 2 years old. Crazy. This is by far the longest project I have ever worked on/developed, so thanks for sticking around while we've worked hard on everything. Rest assured, we will have this ready for you all soon enough! v14 will open a lot of opportunities for us in terms of development, and gameplay, and will hopefully not break when porting to the new version begins. Now, as for actual content. The Overhaul v3 Continuing on with the prior posts, we have a hand full of redesigned content to share today. That of which includes two character updates/redesigns, and some form updates as well. So, starting with the major ones: Symfora & Asura Updates: Symfora art made by: Halcy Asura art made by: Nym Symfora still sticks to the original concept, with some updates, and polishes to her clothing, and general design, where as Asura has received an entire redesign in the clothing, and polishing department. Both will have updates in-game sprites, and other assets, of course. Additionally, two of our forms have been redesigned, and finally have official art for them as well! Tempest Wing & Iron Seraph updates: Art made by: Nym Both forms have received an overhaul in terms of design, with Tempest Wing being just as fluffy as ever, and Iron Seraph looking like it's going to ruin your day. Typing, and other form details have remained the same, only sprites & art have been updated. Overworld cNPC Showcase & Story Snippets Almost every cNPC is currently placed somewhere in the mod right now, with a handful being in shop locations, or other special places that are unique to certain characters. Additionally, your interactions with certain cNPCs may also have some impact on the story itself, with the current segments of the story heavily relying on said concept. Here's a few screenshots showing some story content, and general interactions with your characters. Have an item teaser while we're at it. Moving on to the next part of this post! Community Events As per usual, we are hosting a few events for the anniversary of the mod. The first event is a slideshow event, similar to last years, where the other is a poll. Slideshow Contest: This event is what is shown to be a community favourite, and allows plenty of opportunities to pick up new team members, and to just have fun over all. As per last time, members that participate are to create a Slideshow of any length, going over changes you want to make to your team. This can include regular Pokemon, Aevian Forms, and even Legendary/Mythical Pokemon. (Do note that Aevian Forms & Legendaries should have adequate lore to justify them) All submissions are to be posted in the event channel of the Discord. Full list of rules can also be found in the event channel The following Aevian forms are banned from submissions: Noivern, Flygon, Tempest Wing, Iron Seraph, Mega Aevian Mawile, Mega Aevian Lopunny. Submissions will close in 1 week! All team building rules must be followed for changes made to your team. Additionally, we are opening the option for current Legendary/Mythical holders to submit for a second Legendary. This will require extensive lore, and reasonings behind it, and will be more difficult to obtain compared to users who don't have one already. Carl Courier Election: This event more so focuses on the Lore/Story side of the mod. Everyone will have the opportunity to vote amongst a handful of Aevian Noibat, to be the communities selected Courier throughout the two routes in Overseer. As the poll mentions, all 6 will still be present in the mod, the winner that is chosen will be showcased as your fast-travel Noibat. Additionally, each form will have their own custom OW sprites, and art in game. Do be sure to check the event channel in the Discord for descriptions of the forms. Vote Here! New Forms & New Artist We have brought yet another talented artist onto the Overseer team, being SadieMK! Many who are active within the server probably already know this, so consider this the official announcement. Additionally, we have a new Aevian form to showcase, made none other than by Sadie herself. Aevian Swablu / Altaria Art & Design by SadieMK Normal / Grass Type (Mega) Fire / Grass Type Swablu: Aevian Swablu tend to seek out recently cleared or burned forests to build their nests. The feathers they shed stimulate plant growth to a remarkable degree. Altaria: The evolution of Swablu into Altaria is a sign that a forest is growing healthily. They will use their heat-resistant wings to shield smaller Pokémon during forest fires. Mega Altaria: Its newfound flames grow hotter the louder it sings. It has exceptional control over the spread of its fire, able to clear half a forest's dead undergrowth while leaving living plants mostly unharmed. Additionally, here's a second form for showcase. Aevian Buneary / Lopunny Art & Design by MoonPaw Flying Type (Mega) Flying / Ice Type Buneary: The white spots on its body mimic falling snow, which becomes a useful camouflage as it slowly falls down snowy mountainsides to forage for food, steering clear of any foes. Lopunny: A temperamental Pokemon, it waits for the wind to pick up, and then relentlessly barrages any perceived threat with a flurry of attacks while using the momentum of the present wind speed to bolster it's ferocity. Mega Lopunny: Now able to generate favorable wind currents completely on its own, this Mega Pokemon would be any meteorologist's dream if it wasn't so focused on dispatching of any target it believes has slighted it. Conclusion Concluding this post, I want to thank everyone yet again for sticking around for this project. As mentioned, this will be a two-part post, due to how much is being posted. So, for the next post, look forward to the final update to the Demo mod, which will add more forms than previously added, new crests, quests, and more. Additionally, we will have more story footage to share as well. Be sure to check out the Discord for event information, and future updates / posts to mod content. Overseer Files Discord

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/1lfUV-qajIEYrNqN-tMNjZ6MrHjkg5a7o/view?usp=drive_link 13. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1O7f89eOvRHPoeZ2HjzuEIz4GRIWz2nTl/view?usp=sharing

Pokémon AllGen Reborn! (19.5 ready) Hi Everyone!~ This is the Forum Thread from the previously named "Eeveelution mod"! This is a mod that implements (almost) all the Gen 8 / 9 / Hisui content, as well as a lot of optional custom features! The story is almost entirely unaltered, so you get the usual Reborn experience story-wise with the opportunity to encounter new Pokemon. Note for Self-Modders: Modding a mod became a bit more complex with 19.5. If anyone wants to mod the mod, ideally contact me (or our mod community in general) via Discord! If the demand is high, I might decide to make a short guide on this page later. Features: All Pokémon up to Generation 9 (including Hisui) Gigantamax forms introduced as Mega forms A separate save folder to easier distinguish between your saves New Abilitiy distributions to suitable Pokemon from older Generations! Custom Pokemon and Forms! Special Feature: Sunkern Switches! - Replaced by a toggle option in the menu! You will find Sunkern sitting around certain place all across Reborn City! - You can talk to a Sunkern and choose the mode you want to play with: You can toggle the difficulty in the ingame options: Reborn: You will experience the typical Reborn experience without any changes to Trainers, events, etc. AllGen: Battles against Trainers are updated to include Gen 8 / 9 content. AnyGo: A different approach of "Casual Difficulty": Trainer teams will include Custom content, Legendaries, and Gym Leaders are not restricted to only one type! Also difficulty is ramped up a tad bit. Additionally, you cannot overlay field effects with Surge Abilities when a field already existed (e.g. on julia's gym battle grassy surge wouldn't work) Optional Custom features: Custom Megas: Currently over 60 new Custom Megas are added (ever-increasing!) Custom Mega Stones are added which can be accessed in "Marble Maniacs" in Calcenon City after beating Adrienn. It's the house left to the Poké Center. Many of them also get signature Moves or Abilities (can be checked with the Guide) 2. Ability Changes: A handful of Abilities got buffed or changed, mainly he ones that are heavily underused/underperforming Changes can be activated by talking to an NPC in Grand Hall OR in Agate Circus (Green-clothed NPC) A book is added for all recorded changes (also in the docs) 3. Eeveelutions: Eevee has now custom Eeveelutions for all types (see at the end of this post) They are not considered necessary for Pokedex completion or similar achievements You may encounter these when evolving eevee under very specific circumstances (evolution methods are listed below and in the docs 4. Custom Forms: Several Custom forms have been added Custom Fusions have been added These may be encountered independent of the game mode chosen, they are completely optional though (except for AnyGo mode) All custom forms are documented in the Guide that comes withinh the patch folder download Some examples: Special Notes: Terastalization will not be added - mainly due to balancing issues The Protean change (that it only activates once per battle) is not included Movesets may still be missing some move compatibilities (reports are welcome!) Check out the Important Notes below for a specific issue NOT compatible with these mods: Pokemon Nightmare Mod Pokemon Memeborn Reborn Sandbox mode Pokemon Reborn Yang / Reatomized / other full-overhaul mods Other mods that change ingame scripts Randomizer is not working and is a WIP Compatible mods (ONLY IF they are updated to 19.5): Aironfaar's Mod Box SWM Modular Modpack Pyrolusitium's UI Overhaul Ash-Greninja Mod -> This mod has been incorporated and fused with the Battle Bond Password! Pristine Accuracy mod Battle Music Pack -> This mod as been integrated as well (see a bit below) Important Note: Save file location For anyone wondering why the game cannot find you save file, AllGen uses its own save file directory! The New directory is usually in savedgames/AllGen Reborn, just copy contents of the original directory over there! Side Note: People from earlier versions than 0.8.0 need to transfer their save files from the previous /savedgames/Pokemon AllGen to the new savedgames/AllGen Reborn directory! The renaming happened due to conflicts between legacy AllGen version causing corruptions and errors. (The new name is also just better) Downloads Even though 19.5 AllGen is technically in a beta, it is already more stable than the legacy version! This still means, if any inconsistencies were found, please do report it here or on our Reborn Discord! In contrast to the legacy version, 19.5 mods only work via patches. Download a clean 19.5 Reborn game, OR download the specific Joiplay version for your Phone Update the main game vie the ingame updater (on the save file choosing screen) Download the patch.zip from the Link below Unzip the folder For Joiplay - empty the game's patch folder before adding the mod drop the whole folder into the main directory of your 19.5 Reborn game If you update between patches, remove the previous folder and put the new one in the folder! Profit Do NOT apply the patches' content to the folder, you do not overwrite any files. If you get asked to overwrite any, you did something wrong! Here is a small Gif for demonstration: AllGen Reborn patch 0.8.0 (Last updated 01/09/26) https://mega.nz/file/npgVSbwb#B4o02PcytdldAA3m0jgR9FX391GoSJVHpI3gstJSzpo Google spreadsheet https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1JFgeB3OJEadA2E0nC4t0ISUQeNYmRIpq/edit?usp=sharing&ouid=117014621059890777493&rtpof=true&sd=true Battle Music Pack Compatibility patch The compatiblity patch has been removed due to the integration of a custom music pack! Thanks go to all contributors, especially @Ashzure, @Karvanha and @Dreamy for their Music Packs! You can toggle the Music Pack ingame in the options menu. Note: The AllGen Reborn 19.5 Guide (Excel) also comes directly with the patch download!

Thanks, Vince. I deleted eight images and it saved my storage space tremendously!

I added most of them as much as my file size limit can allow in the original post, so you can delete those images to save space for your attachments.

Very cool mod. No bias whatsoever.

Versión 0.5 de la versión del juego en español. Es una recreación hecha por mí mismo y JuanJsar, basado en el mod original que tradujo el juego entero en la versión 19.0. A diferencia de esa versión, esta tiene sus extra-complicaciones y faltan aún cosas que no se han traducido siquiera debido a cómo interacciona el código. Por esto y motivos personales, he decidido llamarlo una beta en versión 0.5. Version 0.4 of the Spanish version of the game. It is a self-made recreation of the original mod that translated the entire game in version 19.0. Unlike that version, this one has its extra complications, and there are still things missing that have not even been translated due to how the code interacts—for this and personal reasons, I decided to call it a beta in version 0.4. Este mod traduce lo siguiente/ This mod translate the following: - Todos los dialogos/All of the dialogues - Tipos de Pokémon/Pokemon Types - Características del Pokémon/Pokemon Stats. - Habilidades/Abilities - Todos los ítems/All the items - Movimientos/Moves - La mitad de mensajes a mitad combate/Half of the messages mid combat Este mod aun no traduce lo siguiente/This mod still doesn't translate the following: - Pokegear: Notas de campo/ Notefields in the pokegear - Dialogos en mitad combate/Mid combat dialogues AHORA INCLUIMOS DOS VERSIONES! El juego base y el juego con ALLgen mod! Que mete las ultimas dos generaciones! Trailer de presentación/ Teaser: Enlace de descargas/Download s Espero que lo disfruteis en todo lo que se pueda. / Hope you enjoy this mod as much as you can. PD: Porfavor, reporten todos los bugs que encontreis por aqui./ Please report all bugs you find here.

Reposted from Reddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/PokemonReborn/comments/1q30v2x/just_finished_the_entire_game_and_completed_the/ I started this game after finishing Pokemon Desolation EP6 a few months ago because I can't get enough of it, and what a wild and interesting journey this game is. I'll segment my review into several. Apologies if it sounds like I am rambling. It's late and I might format/refine my post I feel like it. tl;dr: 8/10 game. The game is extremely dense, full of locations for you to explore and quests to complete. You'll be frequently presented with interesting challenges in battle which can be satisfying when you come up with a solution. There's a huge cast of characters with a somewhat convoluted storyline, which may be hard to follow at times. I find the story and characters to be quite entertaining, but it may not be everyone's cup of tea. Gameplay Just for full context, I have played the game with the hardcaps (you can't level your pokemon past a cap where it'll disobey you) and nohms (you get access to all HM field moves at all times, which means you don't need to carry a HM slave around) passwords, as well as Set mode (no free switch after a KO in trainer battles). I don't restrict myself in any capacity, and using items in battle are allowed. Though I try not to use X items. The battles can be pretty challenging, it mainly comes down to two factors: Field effects: In these games, where you fight have a significant impact on how the battle will play out. For example, when fighting in a flammable environment such as forests and grassy fields, the environment can be lit on fire with moves such as Heat Wave. In dark places, light based moves such as Dazzling Gleam become much more effective, and so on. The fields typically impose significant multipliers to your stats and the moves they affect (around +/- 50%), so they can't be ignored, much like type effectiveness. Bosses you fight tend to have field effects that favor their team and movesets. Access to moves and Pokemon: For the majority of the game, bosses will typically have access to higher quality Pokemon and moves compared to what you have. Gym leaders and other bosses will carry coverage moves which you have no access to at the point of time to compensate for their weaknesses. Some time starting from the mid point of the game, they'll start having Pokemon with perfect IVs while you'll have to make do with inferior specimens. In the late game and post game where your access to Pokemon and moves open up, your opponents will straight up cheat and have Pokemons with 252 EVs in every single stat (thought there are some story justification behind that), making typically frail Pokemon tankier than they ought to be. And then there are those PULSE Pokemon, which are Pokemon modified by machines to be weapons of war and mass destruction by Team Meteor. When fought in battles, they effectively custom Pokemon with inflated stat pools and overpowered abilities, they are also often part of a team of 6, being the ace of some of the bosses. The game will also occasionally present you with gauntlets, which require you to fight through several full teams without being able to change members of your team, sometimes without healing in between. Taking the points above together, it'll feel like you're fighting uphill battles constantly. However, there are plenty of options you can take to overcome them, and they generally feel fun and satisfying to employ. Overcoming field effects: Firstly, while field effects typically favor the boss by default, they can also be turned against them. One early example is the third Gym leader, who is a bug type specialist who fights double battles in the forest field, which empowers her bug type attacks. She also leads with a Prankster Illumise which will set up rain immediately, mitigating her team's fire weakness and preventing you from setting the field on fire. One way to overcome her strategy is to lead with a Pokemon that can Fake Out her Illumise, preventing the turn 1 rain, allowing you to set the field on fire and watch her entire team crumble. Note in the example above, she has some countermeasure to you bringing a team of fire Pokemon and just beating them all easily with STAB fire moves. You have to consider these countermeasures when constructing a team and strategy against bosses. There's a degree of back and forth when battling these bosses and you have to at least think one layer deeper than "I'll beat them by spamming type effectiveness". Another great example of this back and forth dynamic the water type gym leader. She fights on a water surface which unsurprisingly, buffs water types. You can freeze the water to deny her the buffs, but then she carries ice move which is buffed by by the icy terrain. You can also contaminate the water with powerful poison moves, but her Swampert has Whirlpool which can clean the water and swing the field back to her favor. These are just the 2 examples that stick out in my head the most, the game is filled with interactions like these, and I think the way fields work help make the battles feel much more dynamic and fresh compared to the mainline games. On the less mechanical side of things, I think the field effects really help to realize the fantasy of Pokemon battling. Their effects are typically logical and feels like an expansion of type effectiveness. The way they work just makes me imagine how the battles are playing out in-universe. Incentives to explore: The second thing you can do to make battles easier (corresponding to the point of having inferior Pokemon and move access) is to explore, both the game world and your gameplay options. The game can be quite stingy with handing out Pokemon that are generally high quality out of the box. You're not going to find a Magikarp, Starly or Riolu lying around in the first 10 hours of the game. Many of the stronger Pokemon (as well as TMs for stronger moves) are locked behind quests, and access to them are typically restricted until later points in the game. While it can feel frustrating to some to not be able to run a Gyarados with Waterfall, Crunch, Stone Edge and Dragon Dance before the second gym, I think locking these powerful things behind quests and exploration make them feel earned and gives you a reason to explore the world. In absence of high quality Pokemon, you'll have to start looking at more underappreciated ones when devising strategies to overcome tough encounters. Pokemon is a game with extremely sharp matchups, and this is amplified with the field effects in this game. If you look around and experiment, you'll be surprised at how good certain Pokemon can be within the context of this game. Some examples I've heard of (but have not used personally) are Moxie Mightyena and Kricketune for the first and second gyms. Universal and "cheap" tactics: All that above sound too complex and overwhelming to you? Can't find of a good solution to a specific boss? There is a number of simple ways you can trivialise any encounter: Setting up with stat boosting moves, or X items for the later parts of the game. The AI simple has no idea how to respond appropriately. Toxic, which is accessible early through some Pokemon and guarantees a knockout on even the toughest opponents eventually (as long as they aren't immune). Destiny Bond. The quality of your opponents Pokemon is so superior to yours, trading one for one can seem like an excellent deal. Consumable healing items. With enough revives, cotton candies and potions, you can stall out certain move's PPs, or buy time for your Toxic/burn to eventually wear down your opponent. The game will sometimes hit you with encounters that render these tactics less effective (mostly in form of double battles, by making you fight 6v12, or forcing you to fight with an AI partner). But they'll work for the majority of the game. Given how brutal and unfair certain encounters can get, I'd say its perfectly reasonable to use every tool at your disposal to win. One point of complaint I have is how it can be unsatisfying and tedious to win through these strategies, But it's perhaps unfair to raise this as a point against the game, given that those strategies are also available in the mainline series games Reborn is based off on. So it's really up to the player to not optimize the fun out of the game. You'll also have a good grasp on Pokemon's mechanics if you want to devise your own strategies, so there's a good deal of burden of knowledge imposed on the players. But I sometimes feel like a genius when I manage to execute a strategy successfully. Puzzles I need a paragraph to rant about puzzles. If there's one thing that tells me that this game is product of passion instead of a commercial product, it's the puzzles. The devs LOVE puzzles. I haven't been keeping count but I don't think you can go through the story for 1 hour without encountering some kind of puzzle. And maybe I am dumb, but I find a lot of them to be unreasonably difficult, maybe even harder than the battles without resorting to a guide going by the time one can get stuck on them. Actually I have to give the devs some respect for this sheer lack of restraint, simply making what they want without considering if it'll appeal to people. I think there is value in making things you love, instead of what others will like even though in this specific case I don't personally agree with the devs' artistic vision. I am aware that guides exist (which I have relied on a lot after getting stuck on something for 10+ minutes, I *have* to at least give them an honest attempt) and there's a password that allows you to skip them. So the frustration is partially on me. Some of the puzzles are also pretty obtuse and could use better guidance (for example, the Giratina color puzzle and the Arceus statue noclip puzzles). Story and writing (UNMARKED SPOILERS) Man, where do I even start with this? This game has tons of characters, and a relatively simple overarching plot of trying to stop Team Meteor from collecting the 4 MacGuffins which everyone presumes will lead to dire consequences (it actually doesn't). But it's extremely lengthy, and the game has mountains of subplots going on with those characters. What I'll do here is to just give my list of thoughts on the writing, and talk about how I interpret some characters. For context I did Reshiram-Lin route. Worldbuilding: One thing that I really like the most about the game is how Pokemon are really integrated in the setting. Pokemon exist as more than tools of battle or pets. One instance that is memorable to me was the cage puzzle where you have to use an Abra to teleport various caged Pokemon to heat some iron bars, cool it and then smash it them to escape imprisonment. The gameplay traits of Pokemon and Pokedex entries are acknowledged in the dialogue and set pieces in the game (like how Blake remarking how well an Aggron can swim, and seeing a Bagon jumping off a cliff to learn how to fly). It's one of the better parts of the writing/worldbuilding that I haven't seen anyone talk about. Dialogue and styles of speech: Many characters in the main cast have distinct styles of speech. This does a lot to tell you about their personality. It actually reminds me quite a bit of Fate Grand Order's localisation where different Servants can sound modern or fantastic depending on their inclinations and background. Some might consider it cartoonish and unrealistic, but I think it fits the aesthetics of the game just fine. I do have a couple of minor complaints about the dialogue: I find some characters (for example, Ace, Ciel, Elias, anyone who speaks fancy in general) to be a little difficult to parse. There are plenty of scenes where characters just drone on for too long. I think there are pacing issues with some dialogue, and it's exacerbated by the fact that we have a silent protagonist that does absolutely nothing to break up the walls of text thrown our way. But then, maybe I am just too brainrotted from reading chatgpt too often to read properly. 3. Puppet Lin and child Lin: I find puppet Lin to actually be a pretty good villain. The sheer aura of that woman makes up for how shallow of a villainous Mary Sue she is. Literally any time she shows up you know some horrible shit is going to go down. Member of Team Meteor speak of her in fearful tones and the game sets her up as this ultimate obstacle that you must overcome. Puppet Lin doesn't need much more to be an entertaining villain in my eyes. I find child Lin to be an interesting character too. As seen in the flashbacks in the Jirachi quest, she's obviously a very unpleasant kid to be around, and she has by proxy, murdered quite a few people through Team Meteor and puppet Lin. I might be misinterpreting her character here, but I'd like to think she's inspired by the MC to be less of a shithead after observing them making connections with others and making Reborn a better place, and the events in the postgame is really her trying to help the cast out in her roundabout, messed up way. Of course, you can say she deserves death for the murders she committed and being a bad person in general. But that kind of goes against the themes of reaching out and overcoming hardships and trauma with the power of love and friendship in the story (which I honestly quite like), and she's like 14. Other miscellaneous thoughts Volcarona and Magearna are GOATED af. My favorite characters are child Lin and Taka. I don't really mind the randumb humor (i.e. Terra and child Lin), but Terra's dialogue can legitimately be hard to understand sometimes. That's it, I am going off to play Legends ZA, and I only hope it can provide one fourth the adventure Reborn provides.

Dude that’s awesome thanks so much

That makes a lot of sense! The islands are a sanctuary for everyone while keeping it on theme regarding gameplay.

@VinceAndSylveonI've read some answers from Google search results and there seemed to be some misunderstanding of which Pokemon are allowed in Sylph Islands. Any Pokemon can reside in Sylph Islands regardless of the curated Pokedex cut of tentatively almost 140 Pokemon. However, those ~140 Pokemon will be able to be used in Pokemon battles withing the vicinity of Sylph Islands while the other 850+ Pokemon are welcome to spectate. Those battle-ineligible Pokemon aren't frequently seen in the overworld, but the notable non-participating Pokemon seen is Decidueye in Starlight Carnival, in which it provides Yancy a method of brief-one-way-ticket-transportation via archer arrows. Another non-participating Pokemon (although not visible) is Spinda, when Yancy trades her Spinda to Derek in exchange of a Eevee that couldn't evolve.

Hello! I am Vist, and my commissions are open for Pokémon Reborn in Reborn’s art style. I am offering sprites in the Pokemon Reborn style, so you can place yourself or your custom character in the game! If you'd like, I can create sprites that cover everything in the game. Here are examples of my spritework! If you are interested, please message my Discord vistbot or reply to this forum (Discord is preferred) and see my prices with more examples at this Google Doc.

Ahhh I think I found out the problem I was trying to use it on the lawds mod and I guess they edited the trainers that are supposed to be in that room in a way that it’s not showing them all I want is tailwinds lol but good mod dude appreciate the work and post

The right room should look like the picture below. I have reuploaded the file as a Zip with the version number in case I posted a wrong version previously. You can find it on this link: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1W3mN2BMX6iIP5rc5dh7hnNdmVtRBjbxb/view?usp=sharing

Everything is working fine I do seem to have one issue the room I assume is the tutor room to the far right is completely empty

File can’t be downloaded without being allowed access

Hi this is me again with another nonsense xD This mod makes gardevoir transform when fainting (works like a battlebond) - There are 2 Gardevoir forms you can choose from Celestial Form: Psychic/Fairy, enhanced Moonblast (100 BP, hits Steel/Fire for super effective) Harbinger Form: Ghost/Fairy, enhanced Shadow Ball (90 BP, hits Fairy/Dark/Fighting for super effective) Item you need: Just use the following on Gardevoir items: Blue moon ice cream for Celestial Awakening Blue moon lemonade for Harbringer Awakening Installation: Just drop the folders in reborn dictionary patch folder. 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.zip

You might want to double-check whether Rejuvenation is pointing to a different save directory than you expect. Some versions use Saved Games or AppData instead of the main game folder.

Reupload! Sylph Islands V11: Fairy Deluxe Tournament Preliminaries arc -Story content added for V11 featuring a tournament arc. -Mega Raichu X, Mega Raichu Y, Mega Magearna has been added as well as their respective stones: Raichunite X, Raichunite Y, Magearnite. -Added some missing Audino Pokemon Breeder rematches in previous areas. Like the other Mega Evolutions from Legends Z-A, we have yet to acquire those respective sprites at the moment, so the base sprite will act as placeholders until the mega sprites eventually comes out. However, those new megas are usable since I was able to script the PokemonMultipleForms page to add those three Mega Evolutions, including their enhanced stats. Abilities are nonexistent in Z-A, so I refer to the abilities from their base forums. -Mega Raichu X will have Static. -Mega Raichu Y will have Lightningrod -Mega Magearna will have Soul Heart. Hope you all enjoyed the new content! This took quite a while to make due to lots of eventing, but thankfully there isn't much mapping to do.

Hey everyone, I'm a Pokémon fan and junior web developer looking to make a name for myself. I created a retro Pokémon-themed Wordle game page where you can play freely and endlessly with Pokémon from all regions currently available. Plus, if you register, you can enter a points competition where you have to beat 8 wordles per region (from Kanto to Galar) to unlock the master tournament, which I won't spoil in case anyone wants to challenge themselves to get there and beat it. I hope you like it as a contribution to the community, and I'm open to any feedback you may have. PokeWordle Link: https://poke-wordle-zeta.vercel.app/home Thank you very much and best regards.

It’s that time of year again…Happy Holidays and early Merry Christmas everybody. May everyone’s month be filled with warmth, joy, festivities, and twinkly lights! With that being said, the tracks in Deso, especially in EP6, have been quite pleasant and I’m very excited to hear that there is a focus on crafting an OST for the game during this cycle. The breakdown of your guys’ musical process was such a fun read. It was super informative and the explanation of technical jargon was much appreciated. And of course, the pics of the project really drive home the process. What you guys do is absolute wizardly and amazing. Interesting thoughts on original music and its inspirations…it could potentially be applied to all artistic endeavors to some degree. It’s certainly something to ponder. I digress though, it’s super fascinating to see how those particular tracks shaped the basis for Astra Café. I also like how the rule for the older sound plugins isn’t totally concrete and allows for some flexibility. The late DS-era sounds are such a nostalgia trip and pair nicely with the gen 3 aesthetic though if a new sound would fit well or sound stellar on a particular track definitely go for it! It’s also nice to hear it is such a collaborative effort between the team. The final version of Delica’s café sounds pretty chill and quite zen and ya can clearly hear that Conquest inspiration peeking through. I enjoy it. Something I’d actually listen to while diving into a good book so seems pretty lo-fi-esque to me! I know I’ll be thinking back on this post when encountering new tracks in EP7 (and whether there are any more Pokémon Conquest inspirations lurking underneath). Regarding the megas, I was kinda wondering if there was consideration to their stats and potentially new typing in their designs so it’s nice to know there is. Certainly a nice touch! I am looking forward to seeing which other two megas the dartboard method has chosen. As much as I’d love requesting a tiny sneak peek into every department that mayyy be a bit much lol. So, instead, I second CrystalStar’s request to see some of the map creation process whenever you guys do decide to do another department deep dive. EP6 was full of neat places so seeing that broken down would be really cool. Thanks Darius and Rust for giving us a behind the curtain glimpse of the music in Astra Café. And of course, everyone else on the Deso dev team for the time, effort, and creativity you put into this project! I’ll be patiently waiting for the next dev blog update. Also hope the new member process goes well and am super stoked to see another member on the team in due time!

I mean to ask them for less dialogue and characters is basically telling to censor themselves. If a story or dailouge story isn't for you stick to the regular games or play an enhancement hack

Love Desolation Two ideas: Don’t overload the game with characters and dialogue. Make select Pokémon fights really interesting by introducing a choice or difficulty setting just before the fight. Prune the character catalogue: I just played through Rejuvenation. Desolation remains my all-time favorite fan game. Towards the later chapters in Rejuvenation, the sheer amount of characters to remember, along with new introductions, old revisits, and long, boring, overwhelming dialogue, meant I ended up just skipping a lot of it. So please don’t let Desolation fall in quality over the chapters by adding overwhelming complexity. Elegance is simplicity, and a great, simple story is something that Desolation already has and should not lose by adding a ton of characters we can’t remember and walls of boring dialogue. A good approach is to think "What can we cut?" "What is not absolutely necessary?". Interesting fights: I also found that most battles were too easy in Rejuvenation, likely because I had some cheesy strategies for any Rift Pokémon: Salazzle using Toxic on anything + Chesto Berry/Rest + Protect + Venom Drench. Galvantula with Gastro Acid to remove abilities that blocked a Toxic strategy, or another mon with Soak to change typing so Toxic would work. Or a sweeper setup with Baton Pass Drifblim using Minimize, Amnesia, and Focus Energy into a Bulk Up + Leftovers Blaziken that could sweep. Or no setup at all, just straight Alolan Ninetales with Aurora Veil + Nasty Plot to sweep. Changing the field early on with certain mons, and later Lycanroc with Lycanium Z to remove any annoying field with its Z-move. Why am I saying this? Because not a single fight was truly challenging. Maybe Souta was the highlight in Rejuvenation. My favorite fight to date is the Sigmund double battle in Reborn – that one was interesting. So ideally, have bosses that are not mandatory but easy to access, with insanely hard mechanics. Or, in Desolation, have an option just before a boss fight to affect how hard the boss will be, possibly changing the later outcome or simply the reward from the boss. I’d love to go for the hardest possible difficulty – and not by limiting myself, like saying I cannot use a certain strategy. I want to be able to use anything at my disposal, and I’d like the game to be tunable to that. I'm saying the above because i hope Desolation remains at the top of great games! Best regards, Peter

Very interesting dive into the music creation process! I used to be very unclear on the different work of the composers and production people so this clarified quite a few questions i had. Also, mega noivern.... it's peam..... Since you guys asked, I'd like a similarly in-depth look into the map creation process! As an aspiring fangame dev myself, it's one of the two spaces im not acquainted with at all (the other being music creation haha) so it'll be neat to see a deep dive into that :) Been doing more spriting lately so this sentence just speaks to me a lot (the voice from the sprite mines are never ceasing) Awesome work on everything and cheers to getting Episode 7 over the finish line!

Hey if Charizard can have 2 I see no reason why my boy Feraligatr can't have both.

Posting to inform that the mod has been made completely modular! No functional change, just a backend improvement to improve compatibility with other mods. I should have done this a lot earlier to be honest, but I just couldn't find the time to sit down and do it, what with the dev responsibilities and all. Thanks to @Fervis for making me finally get off my ass and get it done!

Peak incoming

Absolute Cinema. My hype for V14 somehow went from 100% to 140%

Suddenly I feel Rejuvenated... y'all have been doing awesome work! V14 is looking to be a RIDE

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.docx

Man, whenever I think I cannot get more hyped about the next update, y'all come and post stuff like this!!!! HOLY SHIT!!!!!!!! The sheer amount of STUFF you're implementing! And it looks SO AWESOME!!!!!! I'm so hyped. I'm SO FUCKING HYPED!!!!! It looks phenomenal!!!! Utterly blown away by everything.

When people count on you to do your best but you end up ruining it for everyone instead.

i am dead on the floor, please enjoy the game and thank

i took the zekrom path cause i like taka and dont give a damn about titania, clearly she put herself in the situation shes in, whie taka never had a choice and is slowly realizing that he DOES have a choice...also cause, you know, battle is always better than not battle(that precious exp). i hated the desert part, i had no idea what to do, took quite some time to figure the annoying puzzle out and then find some random people, then some random place, then randomly titania and lin with no context whatsoever????yeah, this path sucks.
