you guysssss are really great and i appreciate you all! i I have some really amazing patrons that take me incredibly far... there's so much I could say about that, but I'll try not to gush too much here. I am incredibly humbled though but what Tartar says about not being discouraged if you can't give a lot is completely true! Although I totally understand life/financial situations not being conducive, even if a quarter of the people this site pledged a dollar, I'd be just fine! that said i am getting some streams going for my 3's and up, and with E17 on the horizon I intend to get some personal time in for my higher levels too so there is actually a lot to get in on here. i'm super excited to be able to do all of this for everyone!

@hashtag no it seems like you have the issue where the game freezes trying to loop the music? this is a mac specific error and there might be some discussion on it in the troubleshooting or fatal forums but i'm not yet clear on a solution @loudmouth this seems different. firstly, the double animation thing sounds like the Fast-forward option is on; it can be toggled with the alt key, but I am not sure why you are getting so much lag unless your computer is especially old. It might be worth making an inquiry in the troubleshooting forum. As for the download links, the Community Release links have been removed. ... because I am putting up the public release! Stay tuned for that! Oh, but as such, this topic will be locked.

Not in the current release, but goodness gracious. I will see what we can do in the future, though too many can bring its own problems.

That's actually not quite accurate. The X-League was still part of Reborn's League. The Excessum League was a member-run/organized league based on Reborn's with original characters and such. Anyway, post-game difficulty is probably going to be fluffed up regardless, but we'll see what happens. I don't want to leave legendaries at single room events though, that much is definitely very disappointing.

It also is a little knackered in the community release But for the public release it has been fixed. Weather now comes in 5 day cycles and updates every 8 hours, also changing based on region. for instance if it's raining in the city, it's probably snowing in ametrine there's also stuff like a chance of sandstorm in apophyll, though it will never snow there even if it is in the city. weather also can become stronger or weaker as it moves through the cycle, which is only a visual change but i think it's pretty neat. as for how to manipulate it, i can't help you with that, but there's the basics at least.

this is gonna be my new reaction image when people ask me spoilery things. (unless you mind?)

Meteor admin isn't an optional switch; but I feel strongly about the others, sorry. Like you say, I'd suggest just replacing it yourself ^^

this is currently incorrect in the community release and has been solved for public. very sorry.

i guess it got into something since the battle...

Yeah, it's a sacrifice no matter where I put it in, but I figured aside from adding an out for players who aren't up to the challenge the game internally offers, as well as enabling specialized runs from the get-go, it would probably add more value than it would remove.

Meteor Admin was broken for many people which is why it had to be replaced. given the amount of feedback on the matter, the compressed tracks will be reverted for the public release. CrossImpact, that download is pretty helpful even for me, it will save me a lot of time in reverting them; thank you. About the money gain... Is it consistently ~1.5k for all trainers in the late game? Because that actively seems... blatantly incorrect based on the parameters I discussed changing. Those low of values are not intended. I'll review this.

I actually was just adding the OTs as a neat little characterization thing... I admittedly didn't realize it would boost EXP. You guys okay with this? Would you rather them not do that cuz of the level cap? (not that i am promising being able to change that)

It's been a really long ride, huh? This isn't the first time I've gotten to 10,000 posts... but I forgot last time lol ;;;; anyway the forum recounted previously deleted posts as of the upgrade, so post counts sunk, and so I get another chance to make this special. So I'll say this the only way I know how, okay? Thank you for understanding.

It's stored in one of a number of slots, yeah. The slot you receive from is randomly selected, provided you did not place it there. Random Battles are probably low responsive just because there are not a ton of people playing online at any given time, so timing is everything.

Making these practical from the get-go was one of the main reasons we made online accessible immediately, so I hope you will enjoy them!

If you need your most recent trainer card or sprite, please feel free to PM me for it. I still have all existing files saved. But yes, we decided to retire those generators because they were a bit rusty and weren't being properly updated.

After you used the Escape Rope, where did you appear? It's probably important to fixing this.

It's not like I'm selling them or anything. I'm just trying to piece together an income to live off so I can dedicate myself to them fully. If you would like, then please, it would certainly be appreciated! Actually I've worked on a lot of different games when I was younger... but in truth it's nothing I want to share because I was very sm0l and had a lot to learn back then. I'm proud of how far I've come now, so I choose to focus on the future. I'm currently working on two projects besides Reborn, one being the else-mentioned Starlight Divide, and the other being something that is best kept behind as many closed doors as possible. Not quite. I was drawing Fakemon even before then, but I didn't have any real ambitions of making a Pokemon game... I didn't think it was possible for me. I tried Romhacking a couple times but wow that's an unholy disaster. The earliest traces of Reborn were from when I was 14. I sprited the badges and came up with the leader names back then for a personal challenge for a friend. Then I made that challenge public years later as what became the Reborn League. Then that spiraled into all of this beautiful mess here. Speaking of projects in the past though, Starlight Divide is also the evolution of a project I was working on when I was 16. So... in a way I'm still carrying forward some of my old games. ...Anyway, hi. It's 24 hours later and all of my expectations have been thoroughly exceeded. To everyone who was able to pledge, thank you guys so, so much! -- but you might've seen I already said so on that side. To everyone who wishes to pledge but can't, or can't yet-- I completely understand. It will mean just as much to me if you're able to in the future, but knowing that everyone has my back with this is a huge relief in itself too. Thank you all for sticking with me through everything.
