Does anyone know which path is considered "better"? As in what the player should do? I only played the Reshiram path so far because I was lazy to go heal before battling Taka in WTC so I'm not exactly sure what is changed.

Hmm, this looks like an interesting challenge. I wonder what you'll do against higher ranked leaders when most pokes are unly available unevolved. Are you allowed to evolve your mons using stones and/or Rare Candies? Is your game also rigged to not gain EVs or is that allowed? Btw. the battles might be a bit more interesting to watch with attack animations on.

RAR is an archive format like ZIP. Download a software like 7zip to unpack it.

For me Samson and Aya were both pushovers in every single playthough. Kiki and Corey always were much more difficult. The reason why Kiki is much worse is that she has good defenses against both Psychic and Flying types. Samson can be beaten easily by just one decent psychic mon (such as Espeon). So yeah, definitely original leaders are better. The reserves are just newbies without experience.

During the story of the new episode there were almost no trainer battles and so my pokemon are hopelessly underleveled when I reached the Gym Leader. Can you recommend me any good place to train? Jan, if you're reading this, add some more trainers along the way, please.

In Cella's house when I go to the group near a wall the game takes over my movement trying to move me furthe up but the path is blocked by Melia or Erin.

When I hit the bell in Test of Strength from Agate at Axis High University I got HM 06. Then the clown said that if I hit the bell again he would give me a TM. But when I did he just gave me Dive again, no TM.

You saved my Decidueye! Thank you!!

Hi, can comeone please fix my Decidueye to know Spirit Shackle and not Steam Eruption? It got broken in V9 and I thought it would go back to normal later but she still knows Steam Eruption even in V10 with the patch. Game.rxdata

You can also take advantage of the field instead of destroying it. The field makes her very vulnerable to some threats like Magneton with Mirror Shot. When I tried it against her the Magneton was able to take out 5 out of her 6 pokemon. Then her Froslass singlehandedly decimated my entire team. :-D No need to ragequit. This game is supposed to be challenging. All the leaders have some trick up their sleeves. You need to do your reasearch about how the trick works (using field notes and bulbapedia) and how to counter it. That's what the challenge is about. If a leader seems too lucky with crit, flinch, confusion or whatever it usually means they have some buff you're not aware of - item, field effect, ability or some combination of these. Everything has a reason.

With this change people will get themselves trapped in HM blocked areas, won't they?

Wow it's finally out!!! This is the best christmas gift. Thank you!

Well if you really want her I'm sure you can find someone willing to give you a Ralts...

If I remember correctly he is still there, but only in the new Reborn city. Gardevoir was way too powerful for early-game (you always using it just confirms it) so she got the much deserved axe. Now you can try some different psychic and fairy types!

It's currently in Beta so community release should be available soon-ish. As one of the alpha testers my personal guess is december for community release and around christmas for stable release. The question is, which year. Also by asking you just pushed a release date further.

Nice design. If there were alternative in-game sprites like this for Dragonite I would definitely use them in my playthrough.

I checked in RMXP. Gothitelle only appears if the flag "Third Gym Done" is set. And this flag is switched on only after Corey is beaten. Too bad. I feel like using Gothorita against Corey would be the only reason I'd ever try training her. Getting her just after Corey is pointless.

Isn't Gothita only available after Corey? I wanted to use it against him once in the past but the sidequest was not available until after I defeated him... It might have been changed in some later episode though.

From what I know alpha should be pretty much done by now, Ame already fixed most of the reported bugs so Beta might begin soon-ish? However she is now well aware that a week for each phase was too optimistic. There is simply too many new things in E17 for that. And trust me, you don't want to play against the current AI. Waiting for a more stable release is well worth it. My personal estimate is for E17 to be released around christmas with the community release a bit sooner than that. Also by asking this you just delayed the release again. But on the bright side it means we have more time for testing. RIP Greninja. I always disliked it anyway.

1 or 6, preferably with clothes of 4.

@Commander That's somewhat surprising since you even had plans to make Hardcore Reju quite recently. I never played Hardcore past Shade or so because I wanted to wait for E17 because of Gen 7 and weather so it's disappointing for me. However while disappointing it's completely understandable. The mod is lot of work and even though I didn't have a chance to enjoy it all myself I certainly appriciate all the work you put into it. I most certailny don't feel like you have failed us. You fully deserve your rest. Please enjoy whatever other activities you're doing instead. :-) That said would you be willing to let someone use just some parts of the current Hardcore mod? My personal interest in Hardcore is to have a more challenging game. That means better teams for opponents, no-items run, level limiter and maybe some other minor things. And possibly CoM. But features like Hardcore HQ, Party system and whatever else even though they are certainly enjoyable, I don't think they are completely necessary. This would take out some of the complexity from the mod, making it easier to maintain so it might be more likely for someone to do it. I'm even considering trying it myself but I'm not sure if it's a good idea since I have 0 experience with RPG maker. I'd certainly need a lot of help from someone more experienced.

I don't think that limiting trading is a good solution for this. If you want to play a balanced game then don't trade at all or just for regular far from perfect mons, or perfect mons of species that would normally be too weak. That's how I play Reborn. I don't see a reason to limit the trading system for other people even if I don't personally use it. A good way to keep things balanced would be to add more difficulities to the game. Then if you have perfect mons you should use a higher difficulity setting. Previously we had Reborn Hardcore for this but it's unfortunately discontinued now.

As for other options: Leafeon is extremely weak because of its type and bad moveset. The most useless eeveelution ever. Umbreon is ok but you can only get Toxic and Foul Play very late in the game and these are both essential for Umbreon. Sylveon is a very good choice and you can get one early. Espeon is good but some of the best moves like Shadow Ball are still unavailable. Jolteon is helpful too with it's god-like speed but can only do electric attacks. Flareon has very good attack and can be very useful in some situations. Glaceon is decent but is by far the last one to become available. And there are many cases when ice type is no good. Overall for Reborn Vaporeon is the best with Sylveon as close second.
