Don't Jinx it, ep19 still has yet to be released...

Seconded, that was hilarious. Covering the last two panels with offspring would also be hilarious. 'Death everywhere' made me chuckle, too

Same It's just fascinating when a program acts in a completely unexpected manner, and from some experience with coding it can be quite a laugh to see something you work on break down in the most crazy ways (even if it sets you back a lot) :D I had the fun experience myself during a programming exam at uni that the classes I defined stopped working (in Python), which screwed over my entire code for that part and nobody knew what the hell was going on since the code looked correct. Still passed tho, that was quite a laugh It's more of an empathic laugh about programs acting weird, and through painstaking work finding out the cause is extremely dumb and straightforward.

I was not sure if this should be in Bug Reports, Reborn City or the Onyx Wasteland, but since it's related to Reborn Development I thought opening a topic here for it. It is quite niche tho, but could be fun. For anyone who has had the fortune to work with Pokemon Essentials, what were the most "fun" experiences with it...let's just say working "less than optimally"? For examples, one can look at some of the Reborn Development Blog-posts, but anything nonsensical, bizarre or maddeningly-funny-in-hindsight would be great. For educational purposes, of course. And giggles.

Reading that nearly gave me a migraine I wanted to curse, but that would get me warning points, so I'll drop this instead: https://giphy.com/gifs/jc-jesus-christ-car-accident-fnm3KJmpkG52goGXSt (Maybe the Gen-III EQ approach of literally jiggling the entire screen instead might be ok for the current system?) Maybe I should just open a thread for the devs to post their most irritating encounters with essentials in Although that might overlap with a bit too much of the development blog... EDIT: Due to reasonable arguments, collecting the above could understandably be interpreted in a malicious manner. Hence this might not be a productive venue to explore. It should be noted as well that Essentials is...well, essential to many fangames' existence, including Reborn. And every large (and complex) coding project is bound to have some suboptimal parts, which become harder to resolve or improve the larger it becomes. And in Essentials' case, it has to function (mostly) like a system that has become more and more cluttered over multiple iterations, and had to add/remove entire sets of mechanics to do so. Needless to say, I'd be lying if I said I could even make a decent attempt on making something like it. But seeing how things break in unexpected ways is simply fascinating imo.

We know. If the development progress of the sidequests shows anything though, it'll be more enticing than hunting them in Insurgence (which was a lot of fun, just exploring what kind of fun things might yet to be uncovered. Reborn can't quite rely on deltas tho, but scattered remaining/failed PULSE projects could be a source of plenty enjoyable encounters. Looking at you Bigglesworth). RIP Angelure

Not the first time 'essentials is stupid' caused grief here That's the story of at least a quarter of deveolpment here

Look pretty good :) I do think, for the latter two moves, moving (/jiggling) the opposing mon a just little to sell the impact of the attack would improve it a little.

The reason they won't is bc they might not get a proper chance to do so when word gets out on the internet that 'Pokemon Reborn is finished'... The Pokemon Uranium-story, if one recalls. Nintendo is...very strict about these things. I might not go for the collect-a-thon either, but I don't think Reborn could get a (proper) postgame if they released it separatedly.

If it were a particular kind of game like Snakewood, you could pull something off like that under the guise of a joke regarding game balance. It would be infuriating, but also be so out-of-the-blue, it might mesh with it somehow. In Reborn, however, it would sour everything up until that because it's an actual game, with difficulty as a main focus. So proooooobably don't.

Puppies, none. Budews, on the other hand...

Perhaps it would be best to start recruiting people for translating (shortly) before the game gets released for... possible company-related events.

Ask Ame, or any of the devs (I suggest andracass ). Iirc, you might need a version of RPGMaker.

Press 'F' to pay headpats...

It's been quite a while E19 is in development, and well, it's the forums. I'd be surprised if there weren't a bunch of people who commented similar like that... Anyhoo, that bugs bar-ry will be sitting still there for a while, I'd reckon

Isn't that a summary of this entire thread?

You could give for example packs of Wings (e.g. 40x Genius Wings, 128x Muscle Wings...) as initial rewards. That should help a bit. Basically items that help finetunig EV's or aid in breeding initially, and perhaps the higher-up bosses could give items like the Red Orb? You could even start a quest through there for Mega Ray, by rewarding an item that (after some stuff) makes the Move Tutor able to teach Dragon Ascent to Ray. Just a suggestion, tho

Just drown the game with pesticides. That'll kill them, right?

Ah, that makes a lot of sense. That sounds like a lot of work to juggle to me, and I am finishing my master thesis Good luck with those things :)

Well, given that it's a mystery to many how much effort these legendary quests require, I can't blame people for having a hard time to form a reasonable understanding of the time it would require to finish the remaining postgame. I can only assume each legendary quest is a massive effort, but whether the seemingly slow progress is due to its deceptively small appearance on the progress bars or other stuff happening behind the scenes is unknown to me. Perhaps this could be communicated more clearly to temper expectations on said release date?

Banned for not using a crazier face of Senku for your profile pic.

In Rejuv, finding a decent wild Budew is actually that hard... Also, good to know about the Galar-update. If they did so for a strong narrative reason, it might not have gotten such backlash. I mean, Brexit analogies and whatnot...

Given the development update, I believe Ame.exe has crashed Wait...what did I miss? Some updates regarding Sword/Shield at E3 must have slipped my attention....

Given the new trailer for gen8, it is regrettable we won't see Kaiju-pokemon battles in Reborn...it would be a massive ***** to animate, program AND incorporate in the story...
