Hahaha, yeah, I saw that as nose hair for the longest time. Pretty much depends on which artwork I'm looking at. I'll have to see what artwork it uses in Reborn, this might make the list of critters for the switcheroo. Thanks!

Thanks for your suggestions, you two! Haha, Drampa looks incredibly derpy, but that's definitely a valid mention. Delibird is one of those weird cases where it hints at a beard, but doesn't truly deliver (oh yes I went there) since it's actually weird chest fuzz. Ah, this weird distinction in English that I keep forgetting about. For me, "beard" is a catch-all term for any kind of facial, uhh, haircut, so mustaches are just fine. Either way, what male Jellicents have looks like friendly mutton chops rather than a mustache to me, which are regal as fuck. I never actually noticed that Conkeldurr's chin thing was supposed to be a beard. Huh... I think I'll just add it to the list of candidates to switch in and out of the team as needed, since Chesnaught is already Fighting type. For Beartic, I was never able to view its icicles as a beard. I want to like it because I like bears and beards (shush! …that's accurate, but shush! (no worries in case you didn't understand what I mean by that, haha)), but it never stops looking like a fake beard to me. Similarly, Mega-Aerodactyl is a bit strange. In a way, it does look more like it has a beard than Beartic does, but it's rock. Then again, they are rock growths, so it feels more like it is indeed a beard. Funky, I can't make up my mind on this one. …Emboar's fire collar is actually supposed to be a beard? This… This just doesn't compute for me. lol I'll remain on the lookout. That's two to three additions to my list so far. I also remembered that Tyrantrum has a beard of feathers, and Kricketune sports a cool 'stache, so they made the list of critters to switch in and out. I'm currently a bit worried about encountering fairy types in particular; I just can't think of any bearded Steel or Poison types that are pre-Gen 8. (I miss you dearly in Reborn, Perrserker and Wheezing-Galar.) If anyone got any further suggestions, I'm all ears! Not literally though, I'm not into that kind of body horror.

I feel like trying something silly for a Reborn playthrough, a team that's all about pokémon with beards. Preferrably while remaining a functional lineup, haha. So far, what I thought of is this: - Jellicent (male) - Chesnaught - Golem (Alolan) - Mega-Alakazam If possible, I'd rather not double up on types (although I reckon that having more than six bearded pokémon to use for battle and adjusting the bearded team of six from that pool of bearded pokémon as the situation demands might be fun), but I'm more concerned about the team being competent than about all types being unique across the team. On that note, if the four I listed don't make for the core of a decent team, please do give me feedback on this. I'm actually quite bad at team building and such, haha. So… Got any suggestions for me?

Hard to say based on just that. Are you playing E18.4.1, as the screenshot suggests? If so, are you using the pre-E19 versions of my mods or did you try to use the current, E19 version of it? Thing is, I reckon you'd have to stick with Additional Options v12 and Miscellaneous Mods v3 at most in E18, but I don't know whether the mods will work even then. I haven't been around between the end of 2018 and the start of E19's open community beta, and a lot of changes have been made to E18 during that time. If I recall correctly, my mods were created for E18.1, and they worked for that version. If they work for E18.4.1, that's cool, but if not, well… I'm afraid I won't be able to provide support for my mods under E18.4.1. On a side note, why not play E19? It's been fully and publicly released by now, after all.

Alrighty, my mod packs are now updated for the public release of E19. This includes the return of debug menu and walk through walls. Do exercise caution when you use them, though; you can easily mess up your save files by using them, I didn't curate the features of the debug menu so it contains things that outright don't work in Reborn (which usually leads to crashes and potentially worse if you try to use them anyway), and I won't help you when you break things unless I feel like it. Also, if you report bugs of your own debug functionality-borne making to the Reborn devs, they'll come and find you. Their words, not mine. (No, you shouldn't try to use this to facilitate a meeting with the devs.) With that out of the way, enjoy. I pondered for a few days how I'd implement it, because I didn't want to invalidate the password feature itself. While you found a solution yourself, I figured I'd write the mod anyway. As of v18, the feature is now back in the mod pack. :) It's even better than that: If you pay a tutor for a move, which happens when you enter the "choose which pokémon shall learn the move" screen and is a one time payment per tutor move in Pokémon Reborn, all pokémon that can learn the tutor move in question will have it in their move relearner gui. So, in short: Yes, although you don't even need to teach the move to a pokémon as long as you pay the tutor. Thanks for the report! I didn't have the time yet to test whether it's fixed now, but I think it should be fixed. One of the updates between E19.08 and E19.12 changed the code that handled abilities on switch-in, which I had to monkey patch to apply the shiny shenanigans to transformations via Imposter. I took the E19.12 version of that code, re-added the changes I made for Fabulous Transformation, and replaced the old version of Fabulous Transformation with it. If you get to test it before I do (which, tbh, is likely), it would be great to hear back from you whether the issue is resolved with the mod pack's newest version! I'm flattered by the anticipation, but do consider that I'm not actually part of Reborn's dev team. Yesterday's public release of E19 surprised me while I wasn't at home for a couple of days, so I did the updates when I returned home today. Personally, I think that releasing it just one day after the public release of E19 is plenty quick. ;p Anyway, the debug menu and walk through walls options are released and hopefully free of bugs (outside of debug functionality left over from Essentials that doesn't work in Reborn; my mods simply grant access to some of debug mode's functionality, I didn't change any of what it can or can't do), so… Enjoy!

Ah, that's great to hear - thanks! I'm looking forward to that. :>

Hey, first off, this is one amazing guide, thanks for your work! I'd like to use it as a proper checklist by making a copy of it and marking the things I already found as such, but unfortunately, export options are disabled for viewers, so the document doesn't let me do it. Would you be cool with enabling those?

Last I checked, the old versions do not work anymore. If they still do, I guess I'll have to take them down for the time being. Which is unfortunate, given that I left them up for folks who still play E18. I was sure, otherwise I wouldn't have called it fixed. Apparently, my fix didn't suffice. Yeah, I didn't account for something in my fix that required only a change to the mod's master file, and had to touch all of the mod's files after all. It's fixed with v17, which I released just before writing this. Hmm, so far, I didn't implement this because you could just as well get the Exp. All and activate it. While Exp. All is turned on, it's like the hard level cap password was active. As such, the only use case for that kind of option would be that you want the hard cap to be on while Exp. All is off (or not in the player's possession, but since there's a password to get the Exp. All, I'm not sure how applicable this is). That said, do you want to have the option to turn the hard level cap off while the password is toggled on, kind of like unrealtime does it?

@KazukiNero You can find the properly working PickupChance mod in the mod pack's newest version now. Oh hey, the Unreal Time options also check whether they're already in the options menu before they get added. Funny how I missed that, huh. That bug is now fixed with the newest version. As far as I can tell, there's nothing I can do about the Unreal Time options being added to the options menu underneath my additional options if you open the options menu before loading a game with activated unrealtime password though. Ah, the divisor mod does nothing of the sort. It just divides the amount of experience you gain by the number set in the options, meaning that if you set it to any value above 1, you get less. I added that option to the mod so players could set up challenge runs where combat gives less experience points, and to allow a bit of fine tuning of the factor option (e.g. to allow all experience gains to be increased by 50% by setting the factor to 3 and the divisor to 2). By the way, Exp. All gives all pokémon in your team that are above 0 HP and weren't present in the fight exactly 1/3 of the experience that participants get.

…I'm an idiot. lol Looks like I accidentally packed the first version where I, due to a brainfart, put < in the if condition when it should've been >=. In that version, it's exactly backwards, as you said. I'll upload the version I had sitting in my local folder all the time as soon as I get to my computer. Huh, how does it kinda break? And… that's very odd, it shouldn't even be possible for it to appear before options given by passwords.

Well, this is massively weird. I don't see at all how this could happen… All I modified was the line pertaining to the 10% chance of Pickup to trigger, so if it doesn't even with the mod installed and set to 100%, there must be another reason that's part of the default way how the ability works. Hence my question whether the Pickup critter was holding an item.

Strange, I have no idea at all how it could possibly break. Does your pokémon with Pickup maybe hold an item? Because Pickup only triggers when it doesn't.

Thanks again for the bug report. The updated version is now up for download! Also, while I'm posting here: @KazukiNero, the newest version of the Additional Options pack now has the option you asked for. Enjoy!

I'm happy to hear that I didn't come across as preachy. In turn, I do love a good, friendly exchange of differing points of veiw! I understand what you mean (to the point where I even considered creating a "debug menu lite", which I decided against because it would've been tedious and I wouldn't want to deal with making decisions which parts of the debug menu are fine and which ones cross the line), but whether such a sandbox would be better for testing depends on what you want to test. Given the format, I assume that the dev team currently wishes to test regular play with the community's help. For that, a sandbox is exactly the wrong thing to do because people are way more likely to take the shortcuts through debug functionality rather than the normal ways. EV are actually a good example: The Power items have received a massive upgrade with E19. They now grant only EV for the stat that they are for, but a whole 32 points for this. I've seen several people on Reborn's Discord server asking for the debug menu specifically to skip any interaction with grinding EV, even though it's become this easy. I'll readily admit that it still is a considerable grind even with that, but that's why I added a new option to my additional options pack that allows you to activate or deactivate gaining EV along with EXP from an activated Exp. All. It's not instant like with the debug menu, but fairly manageable, especially in conjunction with the Exp. All password and Waynolt's EV Overflow mod so you can also get those IV to become perfect. And, hey, maybe this suffices to rekindle your interest in participating in the open community beta. Huh, I… don't remember ever developing such an option. But, sure, sounds like a fun option to create. I can do that later today. That is *very* strange. I always have a Ditto in my party and never had such issues; the way the mod works is that it shouldn't even show the Retrain option for pokémon that don't have any moves to relearn in the first place. Can you send me the error log that came with the crash? Hahahaha, oh boy, that gave me a good laugh just now. That was absolutely unintended. I found a different bug in the part of the code that decides which pokémon is treated as the father and which is treated as the mother earlier today and rewrote it. The bug you reported should be fixed along with it.

Fair, but please consider this: Until E19 has been fully released, you technically aren't playing E19; you're testing its beta version. Repeating what you've already gone through in previous iterations is also part of testing, because there's always a chance that those segments have been changed or accidentally affected by an update. By the same argument, any and all mods are against the purpose of this beta test phase because they all change the game that's supposed to be tested. That's why I only released mods so far that are fairly contained in how they change the game. Due to their limited scope, it should be relatively easy to trace errors back to my mods if they were the cause, which means these bugs would be reported to me rather than the Reborn devs. Meanwhile, with debug functionality, it is super easy to e.g. innocently walk through a wall to save time because the regular path is already known from a previous playthrough anyway, only to miss a seemingly unimportant event on the regular path that would've changed a variable that you'd need changed to progress later on. What's worse, this variable might become relevant way later in the game, when the shortcut through the wall is already long forgotten, which might lead to an erroneous bug report that will take time and effort for no gain. I'm not saying you specifically would do this, but given the way the devs phrased their "please don't overdo it with the modding, and *please* don't use debug stuff", I have a hunch that such bug reports have been painfully common in the past. I hope I didn't come across as preachy or so, but maybe the above makes it a bit more understandable why debug stuff is not being unleashed yet.
