Yo, didn't you like read the first few lines of this post? People have lives outside their poke projects... maybe Spanish creators have more time on their hands so they can finish those faster? Plus did YOU ever tried to create this type of game from scratch? Cause I have and man it takes time... a lot of it... and if you work 8+ hours and you travel to work 1+ hours that is 10+ hours of your day gone. So 24 - 10 = 14, lets say you sleep 6 hours (not even 8 hours of sleep) you have 8 hours left, if you live alone you need to cook, depending on meal it can take 3+ hours so you have 5 hours left. You need to clean your living space too which takes 2+ hours so you have 3 hours left... and people have social life... people have friends and family... If you are in school it's a tad better because you have family that takes care of cleaning and cooking, but if you are alone young adult it's different... So please, don't compare how people are creating their games and how they manage their time in doing so.

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

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

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

Caz will definitely be missed, but I wish him well in what comes next for him. Desolation has quite literally inspired me like nothing else had, I started writing again for the first time in years, rejuv is the only other game that comes close to how genuinely amazing fan games can be. I’m glad to see desolation lives on, I know I’m just some rando and my words probably don’t mean a whole lot, but I wish the remaining team all the luck and success in the world. And I wish caz the same. Looking forward to seeing what comes next. Sorry for my rambling. It’s 4:30 am and I just saw this. The game weirdly means a lot to me. The desolation characters (and the rejuv ones) are quite literally the closest things I’ve got to friends these days, pathetic as that sounds. And they’re one of the few things keeping me standing upright in this batsh*t insane world. So I wanted to say thanks to everyone involved. Even if my words are lost in the aether, I still needed to say them. Perhaps in hopes that they could be relayed to the proper recipients, or perhaps any number of odd reasons my strange mind could conjure. Aaaaaanyway sorry I have a bit of a habit of getting off topic and getting carried away. tldr: thank you caz for desolations existence and thank you deso team for keeping it alive!

Then go play the Spanish games.

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

Live your life well, Caz. We’ll all make sure Desolation keeps going until it’s fully complete. Thank you for giving us this amazing fan game, and thank you for inspiring all of us with our own stories. I wish you the best. And good luck to Posty, Ruby, and everyone else. We’re all rooting for you!

I am loving this, great graphical improvements, new content and expansion on existing content, what's not to love about this dev blog~

I just realised, that I never really wrote just how impactful these fangames have been in my life, and @GreyShadow's comment just really inspired me to share my experience as well (while also rambling too much, but I believe this to be a ramble friendly space) During 2020, I was quite effected by the pandemic, and as someone who's autistic and depressed, I tend to deal with stress through isolation. Of course this was the norm during the lockdown, but even afterwards, I had a hard time meeting people again, or staying in touch with the few friends that I had. Over the years, my mental health deteriorated significantly, until I finally decided to take a break from failing at life and focus on not failing my brain. These games have stayed by my side through every step of my life since 2020 and have always given me a safe space to explore, figure out, and despair at. I have very vivid memories of playing Rejuvenation while in a mental hospital. I have written a lot of fan fiction about extremely minor characters and my Pokémon team. These incredibly complex worlds that take the Pokémon formula and expand it to such extreme and just insane lenght, breadth, and depth, that YEARS after playing them for the first time I still find new things about them, or ways to love them. Nowadays my life is a lot brighter than it was when I needed these games. I've got a job that, I have a social life, and I've got a grip on my mental health (not really a tight grip, but a grip nontheless!) So a huge thank you to Ame, for creating a space and an environment where these wonderful stories can be shared, laying the groundwork for these games that mean SO much to me, and for putting in so much time and effort into a just plainly beatiful game. Thank you to Jan and the Rejuvenation team, for creating the very best Pokémon game I have ever played. Creating such a vibrant and expansive world that constanly feeds my own imagination and creativity. Thank you to Caz for having written the most impactful story I had ever had the pleasure of finding in a Pokémon game, and the second most impactful story in ANY game in general I had ever played (second only to Omori). From someone who knows how fickle a recovered mind can be, I fully sympathise with your decision to focus on maintaining your mental health. Take care of yourself! It is very hard to do so. And of course thank you to Posty and all the other incredible members who will continue telling this story in their own ways. It won't be the same, but nothing ever is. From the few images I had seen so far, it looks quite promising, and I'm sure you all will be able to create something new that will expand and conclude the story in new and exciting ways. It is always difficult to have a story be written by so many different people with differing visions, but it sounds like you all are a team that harmonises and values one anothers insight. You've got this! At least I (a random lurker you don't know and will quite possibly never hear from again) have full confidence that EP 7 will be something novel that may tell the story in a different voice, or tell a different story altogether, but it will be without a doubt enjoyable and lovely in ways I couldn't possibly forsee :D So yeah, uh, thanks for reading this monster of a comment. Y'all are great. Thanks for being so cool :) I'll go back to lurking now. Sorry if this was too long and/or disjointed

First, thank you for telling your fans about changes that goes through team Desolation, second I wish nothing but the best for Caz and hope he can overcome all the hardship he goes trough his life. He started an amazing game and he can be proud of that. I also wish you and Ruby the best as lead dev and co-lead in future of Desolation. So far you did amazing job (as well as the rest of the team) and I am excited to see you lead this amazing game to the end .

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

This is amazing! I can't wait for V14!

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!

Reuploaded Spork: Updates: -added a new character, Isaac! Isaac as a concept comes from Steffi, and Isaac's sprites were made by Palletite with feedback from Steffi and Ame -custom shiny Armarouge and Ceruledge made by Palletite -custom shiny Skitty made by Steffi -custom shiny G-Farfetch'd made by Steffi -added all ZA Mega Evolutions I could find sprites for so far, specifically: Meganium, Emboar, Feraligatr, Chesnaught, Greninja, Clefable, Dragonite, Victreebel, Malamar, Skarmory, Chandelure, Falinks, Starmie, Excadrill, Froslass, Hawlucha, Scrafty, Floette, Zygarde, Absol Z, Staraptor, Scovillain, Glimmora, Chimecho, Heatran, and Magearna -added Eternal Flower Floette (has no special lore; it's a wild encounter in Aliora Greenhouse on the overworld) -many team changes: Jim: Mega Staraptor in postgame rematch Dylan: Mega Scrafty in postgame rematch Arnalda: now has Mega Chesnaught instead of Mega Heracross, and Crabominable changed to Urshifu Rapid Strike (Heracross is still on Arnalda's team, it's just no longer the one that Mega Evolves) Orange: Mega Dragonite at Victory Road battle and postgame rematch Lime: Mega Meganium at Victory Road battle and postgame rematch Strawberry: Slowbro changed to Clefable (nickname Pompompurin) and is Mega Clefable at Victory Road battle and postgame rematch Ivan: Mega Starmie in postgame rematch, and Palafin's held item changed from Leftovers to Punching Glove unrelated to new Mega Evolutions, DJ Ultra Beats: Emolga changed to Toxtricity Amped (nickname Yukari) -updated levelup and TM learnsets to the ZA DLC -updated Planet Spork ZA character simulation teams to the DLC and Mega Evolutions that were added so far -added Comet Punch, Sing, Silver Wind, Shadow Punch, Ominous Wind, Ancient Power, Poison Fang, Mimic, Magnet Bomb, Circle Throw, Storm Throw, Double Hit, Fake Out, First Impression, Skull Bash, Razor Wind, Petal Dance, Fissure, and Sheer Cold as tutor moves -changed name of obtainablepokemon notepad file to pokemonlocations -added text to brochure/pamphlet shelves at Tourist Info Center and P.I.E. Tours Fixes: -removed white space on DJ Ultra Beats' VS sprite between the hair and shirt on the right side -Hoothoot and Noctowl's shiny sprites are now consistent -resized several shiny Mega Evolution backsprites that were twice the size of other sprites -Floette now gives 2 Special Defense EVs instead of only 1 -the Urbain and Taunie simulations on Planet Spork now have genders set for their Meowstic -the starteritemgifts notepad file now mentions the Metronome for Falinks -display location data on the region map is now correct for Mt. 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

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!

Reuploaded DDDL and Spork: DDDL -added ICSW VS sprite made by Palletite Spork: -ICSW VS sprite made by Palletite (with feedback from Ame!) -new custom shiny Kangaskhan based on Dragon Tales, made by Steffi -Team Chaotix now have sprites based on their Sonic characters, made by Steffi -Toy Robot and Fountain Pen item graphics made by Steffi -added Legends: Z-A character simulations to Planet Spork (the Z-A Mega Evolutions aren't in yet, so they don't Mega Evolve at this time). Additionally, returning characters from XY have been updated to have their Z-A teams -updated level up learnsets for Pokemon in Legends: Z-A -for the Kalos quiz, changed the question about Terminus Cave to a question about which company is in charge of Lumiose City's redevelopment plan -changed Mega Toxtricity's ability from Technician to Punk Rock -added Headbutt and Heal Block as tutor moves -updated URLs for the Crystal Caverns screenshots in the puzzleguide notepad file since Imgur no longer displays in the UK -added Inkay to evomethodsandotherchanges notepad file, as it only needs to be level 30 without being upside down or any alternatives for that I have a VS sprite in the game now! I really like how it turned out, and Ame even gave feedback on it, which led to updates with the shapes and shading of parts of the hair! The shiny Kangaskhan is based on Dragon Tales, with the main one being Ord and the baby in the pouch being Cassie. I think the baby is really cute, especially in the mega form! The Team Chaotix sprites and the item graphics have been in the works for a while! I checked to see when Steffi first showed me Espio (which is my favorite of the three sprites!) and it was in 2019. I didn't know Vector and Charmy had been made too until a few days ago I did know about the items though, as Steffi's had a goal of making graphics for all of Spork's custom items, with Gummy Teddiursa, Frontier Pass, and Soup or Potion having previously been completed a few years ago. The Toy Robot's face is adorable, and the pen looks nice! Thanks a lot to Palletite and Steffi for all the new art in this reupload! Also, thanks to Ame for the ICSW VS sprite feedback, and to Vince&Sylveon for helping us resize the Team Chaotix sprites! In the last reupload post, I mentioned that I was going on a trip on October 18, and that I wasn't sure how long it would be. That trip actually got canceled, but there could be another one coming up. This one would just be for a few days, so it wouldn't be a super long absence if anyone needed save file help during that time. It's been a very eventful year for Spork! There have been map revamps, VS sprites, updated as well as completely new trainer sprites, a lot of new custom shinies, a new region map, the Memories of Ceolis, our own Game.exe icon, among other updates. Some of them have been wanted or planned for years, and we're making a lot of progress for future plans as well. And the year isn't over yet. There's something Steffi has been hoping for me to add in time for Christmas, so hopefully I'll be able to deliver!

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

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

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

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

Desolation has always been a glimmer of brightness for me amongst the darker moments in life, and quite frankly, it is a beacon amidst the absolute chaotic world-state we find ourselves in right now. As it seems for many others as well. It’s a game that holds a special place in my heart. It has given me a sense of solace in hard times. It has provided a story that has stoked my curiosity and resonated with me. It has rekindled my creative spark. And of course, provided many joyful weekend discord adventures with friends. You started something special that has touched many of us, which is a pretty amazing feat. I hope that instills in you a sense of pride. From the bottom of my heart, thank you for all that you have given us. All that being said, your mental wellbeing comes first and foremost. I hope you one day conquer the hardships. Maybe even find inner peace. You deserve that and much more. Please take care and farewell Caz! We wish you the very best! Now that the torch has been passed on, I have faith you guys will do a phenomenal job. It won’t be the same but that’s okay, it doesn’t have to be. Different perspectives allow for creativity to thrive and flourish. I’m sure your new vision will harmonize with the essence of Desolation thus far and inspirit a new and wonderful adventure for us to experience. That’s an exciting prospect to look forward to and I know I can’t wait to see what all of you have in store for us! Cheers to the start of a new chapter for Desolation!

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

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

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

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

I drew this this morning! Inspired by VS sprite.

Hahaha it seem you to have that problem im so annoyed that cell just right there and I can't get it.
