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

hi everyone i successfully updated this to v 19.5.37 compatible with smw and allgen plz let me know what the best way to host the files would be if you're interested thanks

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 Followers for Pokémon Rejuvenation This mod adds overworld Pokémon followers to Pokémon Rejuvenation, allowing Pokémon from your party to walk behind you as you explore the world. While other Pokémon games and hacks often have follower systems, to date, there has not been a fully implemented, map-edit-free follower solution available specifically for Pokémon Rejuvenation. This mod fills that gap, bringing visible party companions to Rejuv’s overworld in a way that integrates cleanly with the base game’s systems. Features One or two-party Pokémon can follow the player No map edits required Works across map transitions, cutscenes, PokéCenter healing, and partner trainers Overworld interaction with your follower Pokémon gain happiness while walking with you Follower Modes You can cycle follower modes using CTRL: Off → 1 follower → 2 followers → Off One follower uses your party lead Two followers use your first two party Pokémon Compatibility note: Using one follower is the most compatible option when a partner trainer is active. With two followers enabled, the second Pokémon may occasionally overlap the partner depending on map layout and movement. Talking to Your Pokémon Press C (Action) while facing a follower to: Show a short message based on happiness Display the Pokémon’s current happiness value Happiness From Walking While a follower is active, your lead Pokémon gains happiness over time as you walk. Default behavior: +1 happiness every 400 steps Happiness is capped at 255 Shiny Pokémon Shiny Pokémon are supported and working. Note: Most shiny follower sprites have not yet been recolored or resprited to match Pokémon Rejuvenation’s custom shiny palettes. Many shinies currently use vanilla-style colors. These will likely be updated in a future release, along with numbered graphics for Gen 9. Installation Download the zip file Drag and drop the contents into your Pokémon Rejuvenation main folder Launch the game All required folders and sprite paths are included. Download Zip Link Notes/Disclaimers Pokémon will not follow if they are fainted or eggs If the lead Pokémon faints while following, the next valid Pokémon in the party will automatically take over Followers do not block player movement Seems to be compatible with Rejuvenation Extreme and Gen 9 Encounters mod if a Graphic matching the dex number is added.

Having problems installing the new version as it keeps giving me an error that a file is missing. The files still go in the patch folder? Or am I missing a step? Edit: Ignore this....I downloaded the legacy version like a complete idiot sandwich.

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

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!

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

Re-upload! Version 12 is pretty short actually, since it builds on V11. As such, this is considered to be part 2 of the Fairy Deluxe Tournament. V11 acts as the first half (Preliminary) while V12 is the second half (tournament finals). There's not many major trainer battles either, so I added a few to not make the version too short (it still feels like it). On the other side, Vince made two new species, Decode Sylveon (the same one from Pokemon Virtualization) and Liael (another four winged Sylveon, but not obtainable as of this version yet). Some Mega sprites have also been updated since Vince founded the sprites of Meganium, Clefable, Froslass, Falinks, and Magearna. Still waiting for Raichu X/Y at the moment.

So, apparently, I forgot to remove a condition preventing the tutors from appearing before Akuwa town is freed. So they didn't appear on new games, sorry. This is now corrected and I'm 99% sure there should be no incompatibilities with any of the main Rejuv mods.

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.

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

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.

We are working on creating a gen 4/5 Style game built in Godot. We Are building the entire game from scratch and are well into development of terrain and obstacle implementation. Will add more information as needed in comments.We are looking to add a 3d texture artist to our team who can really capture the Pokémon feel in game. we are trying to get all our textures on a 32x32 scale. Any experience in 3d design or texture mapping is a bonus but not needed. We will be basing the game in central/south Americas style and culture, from Mexico to Brazil.We plan to have a branching story with 3 unique paths you can cross between at pivotal points of the story, the lawful, vigilante and criminal path. In the Lawful you work with the police and characters like Looker, in the Vigilante path it leans more toward the typical pokemon story where you work with gym leaders and your rivals, and the criminal path where you work with a faction of team rocket (might change this but might just full send team rocket.) During your travels you uncover a plot by the real evil team to awaken an ancient legendary pokemon to wipe the world clean so that they can start over from scratch in a "clean" world. Along the way you will have a vast world where you can help settle disagreements between factions, which will have affects through out the later chapters, from deciding whether to demolish an ancient temple to build housing for the homeless, to siphoning power from a natural resource at the cost of disrupting natural habitats for pokemon.List of features we have planned:1. Gen 4/5 style 3d world with 2d sprites2. Branching story and choices that actually matter3. New fakemon4. New megas and regional variants5. Old and new hm obstacles and optional item alternatives (Wood axe instead of cut, surfboard instead of surf, ect.)6. Open world7. Vast variety of biomes (from tropical jungle to snowy mountains, forests and plains, ocean and river and swamp, and more.)8. All Pokémon up to get 69. Character clothing customization10. new evolution methods and alternatives.Possible but not guaranteed features:1. All Pokémon up to gen 92. Multiple Shinnies per Pokémon3. Voice Acting4. Jobs board with custom and radiant quests to earn extra cash, rare item, or special rewards

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!

So, I’d like to start by saying that it should be obvious I don’t intend to play the game with any online features. I just really enjoy using Debug because it lets me have my whole team in a specific type of ball (Reborn Ball, for anyone wondering). While experimenting with Debug in my latest run, I noticed the “Form” option for Pokémon and saw that their forms could be changed into their Mega Evolutions! Naturally, I got excited about the idea of trying an all-Mega run with basically every difficulty-altering password enabled. However, I noticed that after leaving battle, the Pokémon always reverted back to their base forms, along with a pop-up message. I’m not sure if anyone knows a way to disable this, or if there’s a mod that allows permanent Megas? This is just for fun, guys, so please don’t eat my soul. <3

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!

Early Spork reupload to fix an error that made Knock Off not work Updates: -Kayla's Scizor now Mega Evolves -Angela's Xatu changed to Hisuian Braviary (nickname still Labradorite) -added Rock Smash and Power-Up Punch TMs to the game -updated TM and tutor move learnsets for Pokemon in Legends: Z-A -added Whirlwind, Discharge, and Night Slash as tutor moves Fixes: -Knock Off now works again -the player is no longer layered over the tall grass at Western Waterway -capitalized a lowercase Marble in the tmandtutorlocationlist notepad file While I mentioned that the Z-A Mega Evolutions aren't in yet, I did add their Mega Stone items in advance last reupload, and a typo related to those made Knock Off not work. For the script section that handles items that can't be removed in battle, this is how those items are written, and with Starmie's Mega Stone, I forgot the colon before Starminite, which made an error message pop up when Knock Off was used. The error didn't crash the game, but it made Knock Off do nothing, essentially skipping the Pokemon's turn. I discovered this when I was doing a test battle against Kayla and her Mega Scizor used Knock Off. On the topic of Kayla and Mega Scizor, it seems like an oversight that she never had it before. As one of the most powerful trainers in the region who helped found the League and has a Pokemon capable of Mega Evolving, I can't think of a reason why she wouldn't. For Angela's team change, in addition to being born in Hisui during that era, H-Braviary fly travelers up to the Cloud Spire, so it definitely feels like she should have one. It only took 3 days to update all the TM learnsets for Z-A! For the SV DLC, updating them took a lot longer, and also felt very draining physically and mentally. Z-A does have a shorter dex and less TMs. I was considering waiting until after Z-A's DLC to do it, but I figured it would be better to get the existing ones out of the way now to have less work later. If I knew in advance that I'd update the TM learnsets that quickly, I would've waited to do the last reupload until I updated them. So even though I had to reupload early to fix Knock Off, I think this works out for the best!

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

I CAN BE TRUSTED WITH THE 123 PAGE REBORN AI DOCUMENT

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

Hi ! I wanted to share some theories/ideas I have about the Miera Region and the links it may have with Aevium. First, we know that Miera is the home region of the first people that inhabited Aevium. These people fled Miera because of the explosion of a nuclear plant and went to Aevium. The first Idea I had is about the Nuclear plant incident : It seems it was Big enough for people to flee their ENTIRE home region. Like it was "safer" to take everybody and look for a new place. I mean.. yeah, a nuclear explosion is something really Big, but imagine having to leave a whole country because of it ? (Especially while on the others side, Storm-9, something so huge that it seems to have shattered Aevium in multiple islands, and people still live here.) It's probably just me, downplaying the impact of a nuclear disaster. But now, if we look at Rejuvenation co. Building in the past, it seem to be near the sea, and people there work on making Miera livable again, meaning they want to go back there. And I think that to do so they send people back to Miera, trying to restore the region. From now on it's just me theorizing but, what if the file Nanastasia wanted Ren to get, was about Miera restoration ? In the present time, Xen HQ seems to be Rejuvenation co. Building, so maybe team Xen use it to go back there. And remember that there was another team Xen in Miera, so Aevium's team Xen could be looking for something/someone there. Plus, another fun theory I had was Madame X being the mother of Anastasia. It would explain why Xen HQ is Rejuvenation co. Building, why Nanastasia seems to be with team Xen for no reason, and more specifically why she can do almost anything she want. (She did many unauthorized missions, she even helped us and it's with Nanastasia that Madame X accepted Ren in team Xen.) And to go further, maybe team Xen wants the archetype's power to restore Miera too. Something that I think about too is the link between Miera's team Xen and Aevium's team Xen. Are they the same ? Is Madame X some sort of wife/daughter of Lord Xenadin ? And When people from Miera got to Aevium, was there some Xen people too ? Like grunts or even Admin (maybe Madame X herself) because while in the past, nobody ever talks about team Xen anymore. And now that I think of it.. It means that Aevium's team Xen was in activity long After the Miera incident. If there isn't team Xen while we Travel in the past, it means that that it was created around Storm-9 Time ? What if Madame X, somehow lived in Miera, went to Aevium After Storm-9, got Rejuvenation co. Building and started here ? In fact if you were team Xen from Miera, coming in Aevium, the first place you would get seems to be the area around Rejuvenation co. So it make sense. I'd be really excited to see and maybe explore Miera, before and After the incident. Maybe some kind Of « Pokemon Rejuvenation 2 » where you explore Miera with Rune investigating the first team Xen (like Looker !), Being a sort of prequel to Rejuvenation. Or maybe After the story of Pokemon Rejuvenation, like in a post game stuff where you would go to Miera, trying to fix the place After all these years, filles with radioactive Pokemons haha. (In fact, a bit like when we see people from Reborn, coming to Aevium to fix Gearen City.)
