I thought the trainer customization in ORAS is removed for the sake of nostalgia so I wouldn't be surprised if Sinnoh remake won't feature any. I wonder if we'll be able to remove our hat. I also don't think Mega will be removed. In fact, this new Alola forms makes me think that there will be two megas for one pokemon, similar with Mega X and Mega Y last gen.

Steel/Flying with Lightning Rod, what? That's awesome! Although, it's a bit overpowered with that Sp.Def and Iron Defense. Well, the final evolution don't form a cycle, I guess that's intended? Actually, I'd really like to see 9 starters with three cycles: Water/Grass/Fire ; your Rock/Flying/Fighting ; and a third one. All of them will be dual-typed so we have all starters covering all types. Also, ghost starter wooohooo, I love ya!

I love the map style. Is it custom which you made yourself? Keep up the good work ^^

Just put them in spoiler tags and it's fine, at least for me. Also, I noticed that there are some inconsistencies with the style of the tiles you are using. My suggestion is to be carefully chosen so they have similar styles each other. For example, some of the tiles is borderless while some has borders. So, try to edit them, if you feel want to. Well, having a progress report will help people to get the idea the progress of the game and building the hype, but that's not a priority for me. Plus, progress report can be an additional pressure sometimes. The good thing about a progress report is that you can tease your audience with the percentage, which add more live to the thread XD Tbh the reason I prefer games with episodes to one full game is because it's nice to see the development of the game from their early stage, then the old content get new update together with new stories. Seeing the developer grows their skill as more episodes progress is one of the reason I prefer fan-games to official ones. This is apparent with Reborn and Rejuvenation. But again, the decision is yours. This game will be different from any fan-game either, so no matter how long it takes it'll be awesome, I'm sure.

So things that I don't like on Pokemon Reborn, eh? First is the lag, which is no surprise regarding the scale of maps and events. The lack of easy transportation make this worse. I hope future version can make it better which is on progress to alleviate the lag. Next is just my personal taste. Sometimes traveling through Reborn feels so lonely. Even with the amount of characters, it feels that what everyone cares just themselves or their love. I never feel to be close with certain character in the game (some of them have awesome character though) which is intended to give the atmosphere of gloomy Reborn City, I guess. The fact that Reborn City is recently under apocalypse doesn't make it better. However with the new Reborn under development, I hope all the suffering and lonely feel are paid off. It'll be nice to experience reborn "Reborn City".

Welcome to the forum ^^. Well, from your description, I believe you want to find Crawli. Go back to Oceana Pier and talk to Augustus (Melia and Aelita will also be there)

As Jackpot Starter.

The Pokedex is looking nice! Looking forward to see it!

I once thought a mushroom cave full of spores for field effect with the field having the effect of "Powder" move (Vivillon's signature move). That way Fire-moves won't work (damaging the user instead) plus Flying moves get weakened since it's in a cave. Imagine this field also grants priority to powder moves. Well, the point is any type can be made OP due to field effects ^^ Anyway, I'm looking for the continuation of Narcissa sidequest. I wonder if it will involve the use of 'time-travel' crystal~

Aside from attack animation, I prefer sprites....for now. The 3D models has dull colors and many old Pokemon don't look right with 3D models. Gen 5 Pokemon's animation also shows more personality aside from not-so-clean animation. However, newer Pokemon is well-suited with the 3D models so I guess when the number of Pokemon has reached one thousand (perhaps less), we (the weirdos) will enjoy the 3D model not only because the number but perhaps once they reach that number the current 3D model is remade with better quality, similar with models from Pokken, eh? However from fan-game developing perspective, I think that having battlers with 3D models and the whole other things in sprites is not a good idea. The 3D models looks nice in official games but for fan-games, with the currently available resources, sprites fit better.

I wonder when will Archlight involved in the main plot. Now that we have New Reborn City perhaps he will show up again in a sidequest given Ep.16 has little plot but sidequest or involved in the main plot for future episodes...

Hmm..that's weird since you are already try using v16. To make them work you have to have the data for the abilities in PBS files like you have already said and have the scripts to define how each ability works. These scripts is already implemented in v16. If you intend to use v15.1, try to follow the instruction on pokecommunity: http://www.pokecommunity.com/showthread.php?t=314567 The first post is intended for Essentials v16, the second post is for Essentials v15.1 (in spoiler tag by mej71). The second post has the download link for the scripts but since you already have tried v16 and it's still doesn't work, I have no idea what's wrong here.

Smogon has a project for XY/ORAS Pokemon in Generation 5 style if that's what you are looking for. They haven't been resized for RMXP though.

Glad finally Spork has been already released ^^ I'll play it once holiday comes...next month. Which Essentials version are you using?

According to Serebii, CoroCoro will be released on July 15th so let's see what will be revealed.

I don't know about Ep.3 Connor but I beat him (desperately) with Spheal in my Ice-mono attempt. Regarding the difficulty, I think it's nearly impossible to do a Grass/Bug mono-run with the currently available Pokemon...

Maybe the developers have been already aware of this but regarding the B/W(2), there's 80x80 backsprites for Unova Pokemon which is ready for Pokemon Essentials. I just found them while randomly browse through deviantart and thought, "wow this looks good to be applied in Pokemon Rejuvenation" so here it is: http://dreadwing93.deviantart.com/art/Unova-Backsprites-80x80-607291844 Perhaps, they can be used as a base since they can be be better, it's up to the developers~ (or perhaps I'll try making one if I have time...). Hope the future version use proper sprites so it's not so pixelated. But really, with current Essentials battle UI/layout, I prefer the 80x80 backsprites over the full backsprites since it shows proper perspectives, it's just a shame that there are not so many people making them out. I hope I don't sound rude as I really want to see this game better and better ^^ Also Beta Test 50% weeeoooow~

Fairy type is not necessary to beat that Giratina but all fairies is good against that Giratina if you really need a fairies. Unless you're doing a fairy run, other pokemon type is recommended since fairy is a bit hard to find (they have rare encounter rate). Dark types is good not only because it resist ghost move, they can also deal with other Geara's team members. Like daigotsurezan has said, Mightyena is good especially the intimidate ones. But if you really wants fairies, I recommend Aromatisse. It has Calm Mind, Moonblast/Draining Kiss, and even Heal Pulse for support (since it's a double battle iirc). It can be found on Route 2 (very rare) and evolved via Link Stone while it held Sachet (can be bought from Route 3's merchant).
