The item descriptions are taken from the canon games and that part isn't referring to anyone in Reborn. I remember the "A maniac will buy them for a high price" description from as far back as FRLG for a few other items that sell for a lot of money. Although even from the canon games, there's interestingly never been NPCs for specific items like that to the best of my knowledge, and they sell for a high price regardless of who you sell them to. I guess it's just flavor text.

Re-uploaded with the following fixes and updates: FIXES -fixed dialogue with the guard in front of the Move Deleter's house, where he would still ask if you wanted the Marble even after he gave it to you -Updated Chelsea's dialogue if spoken to at Bolaii Beach after the 10th gym, since it doesn't make sense for her to still say she hopes you or Emily will be the second Champion after someone becomes the second Champion -Reflect is now sold as a TM in the Department Store. I'm not sure why Light Screen was there but Reflect wasn't. I may have forgotten to put Reflect there before. UPDATES -Reduced the size of the following maps: Tourist Info Center, BCC Building, Jim's House, Game Corner, Cianosa Cafe, Rap Battle House, Trainers School -Characters (rivals, Gym Leaders, etc.) now have different victory music than normal NPC trainers. (I also forgot to mention in the previous re-upload that the Team Portal grunt/agent battle theme was changed) (Victory music for characters) (Team Portal agent battle theme) I feel like I'm forgetting a few things. I keep notes on my phone for what I plan to update and fix for each re-upload, but I deleted the note for this one after re-uploading x . x

There Are 3 Types of People, Which One Are You?
Ice Cream Sand Witch replied to Tartar's topic in General Discussion
I eat the cake first. Whenever I'm eating, I always save the drink for last. -
Full Moon does have a thread here. I merged your topic into the Full Moon one, since for fangames besides Reborn and Rejuvenation, it's generally preferred to keep all discussion of them to one thread. For this issue, I'd recommend either posting your save file here for someone to help (I wouldn't be able to do it personally as I run into errors when trying to open recent episodes of Full Moon in RPG Maker, but someone else might be able to do it) or contacting the creator. I've spoken to the creator before since I was also stuck in a similar way once and he helped me with that when I emailed him, explained what was happening, and sent my save file.

I went with the neutral route (going with Erin's path and not telling her about Flora) in both V8 and V9. In V8 I went with the neutral route because I wanted more information before acting. Flora was heavily biased against the government, and Florin was heavily biased against Bladestar. At the time, neither seemed innocent to me. Bladestar cut off paths to GDC, and Cassandra apparently doesn't want little kids to get free haircuts. In V9 I went with the neutral path again after watching Sr. F's playthrough because it seems like it was the best choice. As it appeared in V8, neither group is innocent. Cassandra is a member of Team Xen, and Bladestar was chasing after Ana for her Data Drive, which just seems to contain innocuous memories about when she was created, plus there's the Dimensional Rift/PULSE Ferrothorn. If I'm going to side with an organization, I want them to be as innocent as possible. That means -you have to take care that civilians aren't hurt in the crossfire of your fight -you have to not harass, kidnap, or attack innocent people because of an item they hold, information they have, etc. -if you have to steal something, there had better be a very good reason why you're stealing it. So far, Bladestar has failed at all three of those. 1. If April/Krystal/Alexandra hadn't stopped the train in time... 2. Bladestar was going after Ana for the Data Drive. I guess you could say it was really V, who isn't a member of Bladestar herself, that wanted it, but they're working together 3. Flora stole Rift Matter from the Team Xen HQ, which is both good and bad. It's good because it means Team Xen has less Rift Matter. It's bad because she was using it for the same purpose that Team Xen was. If I had to choose the "lesser of two evils", it would be Bladestar, but I want to defeat both of them. Team Xen seems to be a bigger organization with more powerful members than Bladestar. Some of the Bladestar grunts don't even care when they fail ("I get paid by the hour so whatever"), and there don't seem to be any admins besides the leader, Flora. There's V, but as mentioned she's not directly a member, and she probably has her own agenda. Flora also fears the "Xenpurgis". Bladestar is also a local organization focused solely on GDC, while Team Xen is a regional threat. (Madame X herself could even be a threat to the whole world) In the diary in the underground Bladestar lab, Flora said power like a Dimensional Rift's would be needed to take on Cassandra. I'm guessing Cassandra is in a similar boat to Nastasia. Nastasia seems to be stronger than the other admins and have authority over them, like an admin to the admins. At the moment I don't think having Flora arrested is the best way to defeat Bladestar, since that gives more power to Cassandra. Like DerogatoryTrainer said, I think it's best to let them both weaken each other. I find it interesting that all this discussion can be generated from Jan giving us choices. I wonder if we'd still have these differing opinions on Bladestar if Jan hadn't given us a choice to side with them or to be neutral.

Side-questing, Good Game-Design and The Future of Reborn?
Ice Cream Sand Witch replied to Tartar's topic in Reborn City
In the "We make Pokemon Reborn. Ask us anything" thread from a while ago, someone asked if those who didn't get the Shiny Charm from that branching story would be able to get it later, and Ame said yes. That could mean those who didn't get that story in E14 will be able to get it at a later point in the game. It doesn't confirm it since we could find the Shiny Charm somewhere else through different means, but it does mean it's possible. About sidequests becoming more elaborate as of E15, I think there have been elaborate sidequests since long before then. Off the top of my head: -Beldum (how did anyone even find this) -Scraggy -Oddish Weed -I think they no longer exist, but the sidequests for the Sail and Jaw Fossils through the cultists in 7th Street. I never did them myself but from what I heard they seemed elaborate -The Magikarp sidequest (which isn't complete yet, but will probably be the longest sidequest in the game) Reborn also isn't the only game with sidequests like this that are elaborate and/or missable. Rejuvenation has more of them than Reborn (many of which lead to extra content in the main story), and Desolation has a few of them too. Personally I enjoy these sidequests just as much as I enjoy the main story. -
From when someone asked a few weeks ago in the thread: "I have mixed feelings about the speed up button which is why I haven't included it. On one hand it speeds up battles, and I use it for that purpose in Reborn. On the other hand I don't want people to skip through the dialogue, which is something I've seen people do in games with speed up buttons before. And often when they do this they're like "What do I do?" because they didn't read the dialogue so they don't know where to go." Although I've been leaning towards it a little more since I posted that, it's still not definite yet. It's not even just that people might intentionally skip the dialogue, it could happen unintentionally too, if there's a line break error where the game automatically goes to the next line before the player has a chance to read anything. From what I've read and asked, it doesn't seem like anyone knows why those happen or how to fix them.

You can find an Ice Stone at Bunnelby Burrows (a mystery dungeon reached through a ladder at the northeast of Cianosa City) or by speaking to this NPC at Bolaii Beach, who sells all the evolution stones: For your second question, he's always given a Nihilego (I checked his event page to make sure and he gives one), so if you've beaten him, you should have one. But going by your wording with "updating the game", it sounds you're confusing him with Dylan, the other leader who was involved in the vitamin operation, who was the 7th gym leader to be battled. If you're just updating to the unofficial ep 4 release now from a previous episode, you wouldn't have battled Tomas yet.

You can access debug mode from the menu screen if you open the game in RPG Maker (not the normal Game file but the actual RPG Maker program). In most recent re-upload I included RPG Maker in the folder, though you'll probably have to own the program yourself in order to open it. You can send me your save file and I can set Larvitar's IVs to what you want.

I checked Copycat in the moves.txt and it has the correct function code, so it seems like an issue with the move itself. Unfortunately, I don't think I know how to fix something like this as I have zero coding knowledge, but I could ask someone. You can obtain the Chikorita after defeating Aretha. You can obtain the Oshawott if you have a Soft Sand in your inventory.

I can't think of any more sidequests off the top of my head, or at least not big sidequests like those. There's a TM on a roof that someone needs, but I forget exactly how you get it (I think it involves changing the weather with the weather board). Also, does anyone else think that

I remember Ayuda and/or Mei saying there aren't any cells in places where we can only go to temporarily. By Floria do you mean Flora at the Bladestar base in the screenshot in the OP? You have to have joined Bladestar in V8 in order to do that.
-
You can get a Soothe Bell by speaking to Ayuda after collecting 35 Zygarde cells.
-
From what I read, you either get one of those scenes or the other. So if you joined Bladestar you don't meet Cassandra, and if you didn't join Bladestar, you meet Cassandra and Flora doesn't invite you to the Bladestar base.
-
Did you go the neutral route or did you join Bladestar? As far as I know, if you join Bladestar Flora invites you to the base whereas if you're neutral or expose Flora you meet Cassandra.
-
I didn't expose Flora and I met Cassandra. I chose the most neutral path (going with Erin and not saying anything about Flora).

Happy birthday! Here's an ice cream sandwich

Oh, that's what I was expecting, for it to be just a bonus/secret thing. I wanted to play as Ana because I like her design.
