Could the Solrock/Lunatone fusion from Rejuv be added in at some point? It's probably one of my favorite ones from rejuvenation

Let me start off by saying this: Pokemon Reborn is one of my favorite fangames, period. It might even be one of the best fan creations ever made. This post (along with a separate one on the Reddit) are not a bash on people who like the game, nor is it a critisism of the developers. I simply wish to talk about an opinion I've had about this game since I started playing it back in about 2015: I think Pokemon Reborn is good at being a Pokemon Game, but I do not think Pokemon Reborn is good at being a game with Pokemon in it. The game draws way to much attention to it's boatload of characters, has way too much dialogue, and doesn't immerse me in the world of Pokemon. Pokemon Reborn is a good Pokemon game in the way that it gets it's battle system and challenge factor so right. The field effects are fun to play around with, certain boss fights are fun once you get to know them, and the scaling for what Pokemon are available at what time is an interesting concept it pulls off fairly well. My problem with this, though, is that it this is the ONLY place where most of the Pokemon elements are, in the battle system. Storywise, Pokemon are either used as plot devices, excuses for why things happen, and for the mostpart DON'T DO ANYTHING. Pokemon is a game franchise heavily rooted in treating your Pokemon like you would an actual pet. You respect them, and theirfore, use them during the game. In Pokemon Reborn, however, I have no reason to use Pokemon I love, because they either don't stand a chance to anything that the game throws at them, or for the bigger reason that none of them have any story significance. You could very well take out any aspect of this game that has any ties to Pokemon, and I don't think the game's story would be much different. Pokemon Reborn is good at being a Pokemon RPG, it is not good at being a "Pokemon" game. Another problem I have with Reborn is that I have no reason to care about the characters. Pokemon Rejuvenation I think gets it right with how you use characters. At any point in the story, there's always at most 3 or 4 characters at once, and the game has heavy cutscene use, so following the story is a must. In Reborn, you can literally just hold the C key and not know anything about what's going on, and still progress through the game. I swear, I feel like newer players are doing this because of the amount of posts that boil down to "Where tf do I go?". And the worst part is that there's no way to skip any of it. There's no alternative route to go through the game faster. Sure, there are alternative routes for the story, but like I just said, holding the C key and getting to the battles is a lot funner than reading all of the dialogue. I want to care about these characters, but there's nothing to grasp onto. There's no drive for why I should care about these characters, so I don't. Cain's interactions come off a bit weird, Victoria is kind of a nothing-burger character, and a lot of the Gym Leaders feel like filler roles. Ironically, my favorite character in the game is Fern, THE CHARACTER THAT PEOPLE HATED THE MOST! He's exactly what people in the Pokemon community have wanted: A jerky rival character. What's not to love? He literally tries to make you get on your knees and sing his praises to get him to let you out of a cage. And the part where he gets trapped in a cage, and you letting him out immediately... It's a good character moment to show the difference between him and the player. Least favorite has to be Lin, though. She's a dumb villian character, and doesn't even HAVE CHARACTER until the endgame! Do I feel bad for this child? Sorta? Do I think she's a good villian? No. There are multiple points in the story where you COULD stop Lin, like when she kills Ame. You could have a decisive choice to either battle her immediately, put her in her place, and avenge Reborn's fallen champion, at the cost of weakening you before the Pulse Magnezone fight. So unless you brought healing and revives, you're screwed. Did anyone also find it a bit weird that you fight Lin as the Champion? Like, Ame basically just died. Shouldn't you go through the Elite 4 rooms without the fights to build suspense to the final fight with Lin, instead of a really annoying Gauntlet? I want to end off by saying this doesn't really affect my feelings towards Reborn. I love the game, but I think it has some problems that aren't going to be fixed anytime soon. I'll probably be playing this game as long as it keeps getting updates. And even when it isn't, I might still be playing it once every year or so, whether that be for a short while or a full playthrough. Thanks for Reading!

So I know e19.5 isn’t going to change much of anything, but I’m going to try and start a new playthrough when it comes out, and I was just wondering if I could get some help from the community for a team. Here’s Pokemon that I usually run in a Playthrough: Blaziken: Because it’s Blaziken Empoleon: Because it gets a bunch of coverage and utility moves, like Ice Beam, Flash Cannon, Toxic, Stealth Rock, etc. (and also gets all the Water HMs) Pikachu: no, I’m not joking. Light Ball, combined with Volt Switch, Fake Out, Thunderbolt and Surf are really strong, and Fake Out specifically helps with setting up things in Doubles. It’s also just really funny watching the Yellow Rat take out things 10 tiers above it. And then after this, I usually just put any types i’m missing on my team. I’m still not sure how I’ve made it through the game twice with these mon on my team for the majority of the playthroughs. I just need some help on what Pokemon usually pair well with these, or what I can add/swap out to improve.

Would it be overpowered to make Raichu able to learn Surf and be able to get the Light Ball boost? Raichu already gets a bad rep and I think it deserves better, even if it is just these two additions. Also, would Galarian Mr. Mime be overpowered if you could get it earlier? I just don't like how I have to keep the trade Mime. Jr in the box until Route 4

Found a bug, when you interact with Aster and Eclipse in Grand Stairway.

Niiiiiiiiiice, can't complain about more early to midgame options!

I'm sorry, but why the heck is Dipplin only available in Neo-Reborn? Wouldn't it make more sense for you to be stuck with Dipplin until you get Dragon Cheer? You'd either pick Flapple or Appletun to get something good early and then eventually leave behind, or you pick Dipplin and are stuck with it until Ametrine, where you get Dragon Cheer to get a really good dragon type; it just doesn't make sense to give you Dipplin and then Hydrapple immediately in terms of balancing, cause' then you have no opportunity to use Dipplin in the mid-game.

Hey, this isn't a question, but more so a dumb ask to put something into the mod. Since there's optional evolutions for Eevee that aren't required for the dex, I was thinking that the mod could benefit from other "fakemon" like that, specifically one. You don't have to do this, but it'd be extremely cool if I could get an evolution of my boi Raichu! Again, this is a dumb ask, but after using this in this rom hack, I just want to see more of it. Just take Raichu's stats and add 10 to each, and you get this monster. (545 Base stat total) You don't even have to change the abilities, and it could evolve by using the Light Ball or something.

Question: does the Light Ball work on the Partner Pikachu, because if not, that just seems silly.

Heyo! Getting straight to the point, where tf is stonjourner? The doc just says it's in tourmaline desert, but I can't find it anywhere, is it a static event? Is it time related? Edit: NvM found it near mirage tower

Hey, my Charcadet isn't evolving into an Armarouge. I've evolved another Charcadet into a Ceruledge with no issue, but no matter how I do it, I cannot evolve my other Charcadet into an Armarouge. it's holding the correct Armor, but leveling it doesn't evolve it. Is this a bug or is there something specific that I need to do?

So I chopped down the cherry tree in the past and went back to the present to pick up the 2 zygarde cell that were there, but I couldn't find one of them, so I tried changing the time, but no matter what time I changed it to the time wouldn't change, so I read about it, and it said that chopping down the cherry tree messes with the in game time, and replanting it should fix it, so I did, but the time still won't change, so at this point IDK what to do, could anyone help? Edit: I am on the most current patch

So I've been getting this error message and a crash trying to get a ditto with metal powder, at first I though I was getting this error because of the overworld misdreavous, but after I turn it to day time, I kept getting it, and the error only appears when I choose the tier 2 raids, so what I think is happening is that it crashes when it decides to give me a raid with a ditto with metal powder, I am on the most current patch.

I haven't seen anybody make any posts (As far as I know of) or videos of this question, so I'm asking myself, the question is in the title, thanks in advance

I didn't get the whismur from the event, can i get one from somewhere else? if not I can trade for an egg, my username is Terraria69
