Not sure if you were aware, but lesbians do in fact exist outside of tumblr. My favorite thing about Rejuvenation are the characters and their interactions. There are too many good characters to count, but my favorite is Venam. Other favorites of mine include Nim, Aelita, Tesla, Amber, Marianette and Florin.

Go to the police office in the Judicial District, the sidequest continues there.

You can turn it off in the options.

Wow Jan, I can't believe you finished version 10 in two days even though you deleted everything. Nice work!

Damn, I can't believe Rejuvenation is canceled. :// Now that version 10's release date has been pushed back to never, I might as well just tell you all what happens: Melia tries to revive Venam with a true love's kiss, then she goes to jail for kissing a statue. The end.

I'd kill for Melia's hair tbh

Tesla and Karen have already been confirmed to be members of the Elite 8, so they're easy. Dylan's also a safe bet, since at the end of the Missing Children sidequest he mentions that he's a strong battler and that he has gotten a position not many others have. Since we've already fought the Water-leader, it'd only make sense if he was an Elite 8 member. Figuring out the other five is tricky, and I'm almost certain we haven't met them all yet anyways. There are a few good guesses though. Crescent is a likely candidate, considering we've only seen her use one type of Pokémon. There aren't any clear ties between her and the Pokémon League, but her strength is definitely Elite 8 class, if not stronger. I don't think she's the Champion though, since the Champion would probably have more variety in their Pokémon-types. Speaking of the Champion, the most likely candidate is Alexandra/April/Krystal, given the foreshadowing in the train with her and Venam. There are a few characters I'm sure aren't in the Elite 8 though. Damien definitely isn't an Elite 8 member, since according to Huey he's the Dark-type Gym Leader. (Although he also has a Latios? Oh well, I'm sure there's an explanation for that.) Melia for sure isn't one, since she's was trying to become the Normal-type leader at the start of the game. Why would she need to become a Gym Leader if she was already an Elite 8 member? Kanon obviously isn't one either, as he; 1. Doesn't have any Pokémon, and 2. Didn't exist in this time until recently. I suppose he could become an Elite 8 member later, although we have had no reason to believe that all eight spots aren't filled already. The white-haired fellow we meet in Valor Mountain could certainly be an Elite 8 member, though it's impossible to say either way vOv.

Adrienn said that since Lin beat Ame, she's technically the champion. In all likelihood, we'll fight Lin after taking down the Elite 4. As for the Elite 4 themselves, Heather and El have already been confirmed. Anna hasn't been outright stated to be an Elite 4 member, but Gossip Gardevoir says Anna has a high ranking League position when interviewing her. Right now Bennett holds the remaining slot, and according to Ame he was strong enough to get in... Somehow. I'm fairly sure Laura will get her spot back though, simply because of symbolism. Each of the other three member has owned one of the Crystal Keys at one point at another, and represent the concepts they embody. Heather currently owns the Ruby Ring, and has certainly been through her fair share of pain. El owns the Emerald Key (Its name is slipping my mind right now.) and represents faith, for obvious reasons. Anna used to own the Amethyst Pendant, and represents the beyond, due to being able to see things that aren't there. Bennett has never owned the Sapphire Bracelets, and though his obsessive crush on Luna could be interpreted as representing love, it's a stretch. Laura, on the other hand, has owned the Sapphire Bracelets, and she definitely feels love for her family. There's also field effect, as has already been pointed out. The flower garden field seems almost tailor-made for Laura, while Bennett has no field that specifically suits him. So my guesses for the Elite Four are; Laura (Grass), Heather (Flying), El (Normal) and Anna (Psychic) in that order. The champion is of course Lin, who specializes in Dragon-types, although I doubt she'll use exclusively dragons. She'll probably branch into other types at least a little.

The MC is probably younger than eighteen, considering they still need to travel with their mom. (Or maybe they wanted to go on a cruise with their mom, idk ¯\_(ツ)_/¯) Melia's age is hard to pin down due to time-stuff, although I think I agree with walpurgis that she's probably around 15 when you first meet her in Gearen and 18 after the time stuff. Venam is probably 16 or 17, it'd be weird if she was much older than Melia was when we first met her. Aelita seems to be slightly younger than the rest of the group, so maybe 15 years old. Idk about Ren, maybe 17 or 18? It doesn't seem like he lives at home anymore, so he's probably at least old enough to live by himself. Zetta is most likely biologically in his twenties, although he must be chronologically younger than Melia obviously. (Unless there are even more time-shenanigans going on there, I wouldn't be surprised tbh.) Madame X is 4 months old obviously.

Rune is a college student. Madelis is like 40. Why would they be the same person lol

This actually looks really interesting, good luck! I think this has a lot of potential! And Zumi's sprites also look amazing!

The random starter machine is staying, only the jackpot starters are getting removed. Alex literally said so in the post you yourself quoted.

Just because both Reborn and Rejuvenation have LGBTQ+ characters doesn't mean this mean this quest is inspired by Reborn. Reborn is hardly the first video game to have LGBTQ+ characters in it, and while Rejuvenation definitely does take notes from Reborn, it's not directly copying it by having gay people in a small sidequest, it just has gay people in a small sidequest. And here's the thing: The love letter guy's target of affection being a man isn't even meant to be a twist, it's just a thing that is. The quest never says or even implies that the one you're looking for is a woman, and there's no reason why someone would be surprised that they are a man. Because to most well-adjusted people, same-sex relationships are normal to the point of being practically mundane. Most people who did that quest didn't as much as bat an eye at it, the only reaction you would get from most people would be a fairly dull: "Oh, so he's gay." The entire joke of the quest is that the guy who wrote the letter is embarrassed to admit his crush is male, when no one really cares. Sure, it's a very simple quest, and I agree that it'd be nice if it was more fleshed out, but in the end that's all there is to it. It's not trying to make a statement by having a man crushing on a man, that's just a thing that happens. If one of the two were a woman, the quest wouldn't change much really (Other than the admirer probably being more open about the gender of their crush.) and forgive me if I'm wrong, but I'm pretty sure you wouldn't have as much to complain about if that was the case. You seem to be under the impression that Jan was trying to make a statement by including this quest, or having two men just for the sake of for the sake of having a gay couple, but I can assure you that's not the case. Several members of the dev team (Myself included) are are LGBTQ+, and this is a fairly LGBTQ+ friendly website. No one is making a political statement or pushing an agenda by acknowledging that gay people exist. In your previous post, you said: "when it was my understanding those in the LGBTQ community just want to live their lives and have people let them." Yes, and we'd also like to be able to be included as something as simple as a sidequest in a Pokémon fangame without someone making a long rant about it. I might be misinterpreting what you are saying, and if I am I am truly sorry, but as an Agender person, I have had to deal with people with this attitude both online and off; but it really seems to me like you view LGBTQ+ being treated the same as cisgendered hetero people as some sort of political statement. But being treated with basic human decency isn't a right we should have to earn. Let me repeat that: It's not our responsibility to make sure other people view us with the same respect as everyone else. Granted, today most people view LGBTQ+ people as something normal and mundane, and I am grateful for that. There is still a lot of suffering and abuse happening to LGBTQ+ people around the world, but things are improving. However, even still there are "allies" who feel the need to judge every little thing we do. Speaking from my own experience, there are things that are incredibly mundane for your average person, that I have gotten heavily judged for. People feel the need to comment on my name, my appearance, little things that don't even concern them. Even (And especially) people who are supposedly "allies". You remind me a lot of those kinds of people, and you might think I am being rude here (And again, it's possible I'm entirely misinterpreting what you're saying), but I have gotten very tired of people who view supporting LGBTQ+ people as an "accessory" that they can just take off if it becomes too inconvenient. And back to Reborn; it's true that Reborn has a fairly diverse cast of characters, several of whom are LGBTQ+. But again, no one is making a political statement by including non-binary player character and same-sex relationships. That's just a thing that is in the game. There's no ulterior motive behind having diverse characters, the characters just happens to be diverse because guess what? Not everyone is straight in real life. It's not a "highlight" of the game, and it's definitely not "ham-fisted", as it's not even trying to push any sort of political message. There just happens to be LGBTQ+ characters in the game living their lives. And that's the point I'm trying to make here; you view including LGBTQ+ as making some sort of political message, but it's not. And it's not "ham-fisted" to simply include these characters in a work, and if you (hypothetical you) view LGBTQ+ characters just existing as a turn-off, then I'm very to say this but: You are the problem. This got longer than I expected, but I hope I got my point across. Thank you and have a good day! /Sincerely, Winter

You're all wrong. Clearly the REAL Rejuv OTP is shipping MC x MC: MC love map. do not steal.

I really don't think Crescent is Madame X either. Crescent has been directly working against Team Xen from the start, and judging by the "message" Crescent told Geara to give to Madame X back on Valor Mountain, I doesn't seem like they like each other very much. As for Crescent being an Elite Eight member, that could definitely be possible. But I don't think she's the Champion though as April/Krystal is implied to be the Champ. I'm pretty sure the protag and Melia are two of the lights. Kanon might be one too. I don't think Venam is one though, since we've met both of her parents, and they seem pretty human. If I had to guess I'd say Aelita is a light too. The Puppet Master seemed to know her, so it's obvious she's important. And at the end of version 9 we see her get exorcised, and she briefly turned into a demon. So she might fit the "born not of man" criteria. For that matter, I don't think Saki, Adam and Valarie are the other shadows. Memory loss or not, they aren't evil. Cosmia and Comet most likely aren't Latias and Latios. Because in an optional scene in version 9, you can find Damian. And he has a shiny Latios. The rest of these theories seem plausible though! Good job on coming up with these!

Dropping of some more Improvements™. I can't promise these are the last ones, but they probably are. I just wanted to say that this has been really fun. Rejuvenation is a great game (At least, from what I've played so far. I haven't gotten that far yet, heh.) and I am glad I have been able to leave my mark. No matter how small. So thank you everyone, because this has been really fun. And seeing all the wonderful shinies that everyone has created motivated myself to get a lot better. So again, thank you everyone! Until next time, or always, take care!

And then there were none. But first of all, improvements! There were some other shinies I would have liked to improve upon, but I guess I didn't really have time for that. But now that we are at the end, I'd like to celebrate. With ice cream in every flavor! Welp, these were easily the most time-consuming recolors that I have ever done. But I hope it was worth the wait! Also, where's my shiny Bagon at?

Jumping on this improvement train! I changed up Ambipom's color scheme up a little. (Because my original sprites looked kind of gross tbh.) Otherwise this is mostly fixing some oversights and balancing some colors. And of course, I can't forget about the Robot Flower Fairy: Whew, now I only have one line left. This is going to be a big one, so it might take a while.

Wow, am I far behind. ._. Sorry, I didn't expect this thread to fly by so quickly. I have been making progress Magearna and Alolan Vulpix/Ninetales though, and hopefully they should be done soon-ish. For now, have another butterfly: Given that this is the gen 7 thread, I found it fitting to have a Vivillon based of night and day. And of course, shinies: I have a shiny Vivillon on my Rejuvenation team, so I felt like should at least try to make a pattern. I think it looks pretty good! EDIT: Oh, and and this is my 100th post. yay

Well, that's really nice hear! Nihilego is my favorite gen 7 Pokémon, so I tried to do my best. I'm really glad to hear you say that! Anyways, could I claim Magearna?

Who's that Pokémon? It's NOTHING. JK, it's the kawaii Ultra Beast jellyfish. The original version was completely transparent in some part, but it ended up looking really weird with the darker color scheme, so I tried to make it look like there was some kind of grey liquid floating around in those parts. I hope you like it!
