Polaris Posted July 30, 2015 Share Posted July 30, 2015 (edited) Hey guys. Before I begin, for those of you who don't know who I am, my name is Jack and I've been an alpha tester for all the V6 content (old and new). Jan and I have been talking for a couple of months now, just to give you an idea of how long I've been involved in testing. Also, I would like to inform all of you that if v6 was just new content, it would've been out at least a month ago. That's because Jan has spent an enormous amount of time polishing up the game for you guys. So, like the title says, in this thread I will be explaining why it is highly recommended that you replay Pokemon Rejuvenation over when v6 comes out. Note: Jan has given me full permission to write this post and share any information about v6 that appears in this post. Below are all of the areas Jan has redone: The S.S. Oceana*, Oceana Pier, Gearen City, Route 1, Route 2, Amethyst Cave, Sheridan Village, Route 3, Kristolica Palace*, Goldenleaf Town, Wispy Path, Route 4, Akuwa Town, Blacksteeple Pris- er...Blacksteeple Castle*, the Sheridan Badla- er... Sheridan Wetlands, and Shadow H.Q. * - areas that currently cannot be revisited...another good reason to replay... Let me go over my favorite revisions. They're all amazing in their own way, but here are my favorites: The S.S. Oceana: This place has been elevated the most out of any other area Jan has redone, story wise. There are just so many little details that make such a difference. This place is so cute, and funny, and really brings a light atmosphere...until the ship gets attacked of course. Gearen City: Oh my god. It looks like a whole different city. It's just...I can't even describe it. You can't just revisit it in an old save and get everything that has been added. You'll get a lot, but not everything. Kristolica Palace: Sick of that puzzle where you had to follow the girl's day and reenact it? Yup, that no longer exists. In it's place are better, more logical and enjoyable puzzles. Also, the redesign is breathtaking. Highly recommend replaying just because of this place. Route 4: I LOVE THIS SO MUCH. GAH. THE MUSIC SELECTION FOR THIS ROUTE IS PERFECT TOO. GAH. Akuwa Town: Gorgeous. Absolutely gorgeous. Blacksteeple Castle: My all time favorite. The complexity, the theme, everything about this place is perfection. The story is amazing, no more underground cave with the ladder that certain Pokemon couldn't fit down...it just makes sense now. It's smooth, it's amazing, it's really fun too. I would suffer play through four gyms just to go to this place again. Wow. Just...wow. My favorite, for sure. Jan has spent more than half of the development time redoing every area from the S.S. Oceana to Blacksteeple Castle (+ the Sheridan Wetlands and Shadow H.Q.) Old content is the reason why you should be replaying this game from the start. I'll attach two pictures of some of the new characters you can meet if you choose to do so. Now, let me get into the Pokemon very briefly. Not much can be said about the Pokemon but I do have a few details to share. So first off, there's this statement going around that Mareep was axed? Haha, no. Mareep is still in the game people...just moved. Hint: It's on Terajuma Island. Can't get any more specific than that, lo siento. Also, there's a very useful Pokemon you can get in the new content...if you pick the right storyline of course... THAT'S RIGHT PEOPLE. Like Jan said, v6's new content will introduce a story split. Although not really major for now, it affects what items you get, what areas you explore, when and where certain characters appear...so, choose wisely. I've tested both, and they're both great, to be honest. I personally favor one, but that's just me. And hey, why not choose one option in your current save, and then start up a new save and pick the other? If I weren't a tester, that's what I would've done. But regardless if you start up a new save file or not, you're all in for a major treat. I think the new content fits perfectly. It's cohesive, it's smooth, etc. This is so vague and I'm sorry that I can't say much but let me tell you...get ready for some pretty heated battles...*nudge nudge* WELL, I think that's about it. Hopefully I was able to persuade the majority of you to start up a new save, because the revisions Jan has made are completely worth it. They're just...really spectacular. Areas like the S.S. Oceana, Kristolica Palace, and Blacksteeple Castle are a huge part of why you should start up a new save because these are areas that can currently not be revisited. In my opinion, you're missing out if you don't start up a new save. But of course, it's not a requirement. I advise you do so, but no one is going to get upset if you don't. Thank you for taking the time to read this! Edited July 30, 2015 by superiorserperior Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Revengercm Posted July 30, 2015 Share Posted July 30, 2015 Wait. If the story splits. Which one I chose on my current save? Won't this create bugs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fumble Posted July 30, 2015 Share Posted July 30, 2015 Just to add on a bit, being a beta tester. None of this information really spoils anything, as the second point was said by Jan a while back and the first isn't too specific. While it is true that a couple Pokemon were axed, Jan was very generous with the new Pokemon! In addition, one leader has changed their signature move, so be sure to redo that battle! And finally, it is still likely that there are a few more bugs left in all these updated areas, so be a doll and report them when you find them! It will help Jan out a lot~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Polaris Posted July 30, 2015 Author Share Posted July 30, 2015 Wait. If the story splits. Which one I chose on my current save? Won't this create bugs? I don't see why it should. If you choose one option on one save file, and if you were to start up a new save and choose the other, no bugs would occur since that's completely different game data.Edit: Okay, Jan pointed out to me that you might be confused. The story split is v6 new content, not something that he added to an older area.

Polaris Posted July 30, 2015 Author Share Posted July 30, 2015 No. I mean is that option after Angie? Because if it's before, which one did I choose if I never had the chance to do it? Yes, since after the Angie fight is where V5 ended. No, it is not before. The story split is in V6 content, which is after Angie and not out yet.

Will I end up with the same team I have right now? Are there any other good pokemon I would end up in my final team? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are there any other good pokemon I would end up in my final team? Lol, as ifffff. And no, teams don't carry over into new game data. You can replicate that team if none of the Pokemon on your team were axed, but there are a lot of good Pokemon in the game. Try some new ones out, you might be pleasantly surprised.

That is not what I meant. I actually want to try out new pokemon. I already know which pokemon are good or not when I look upon the the database. Can I at least get told if some of the new pokemon's final stage have over 500 base stats? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Global Mods Ice Cream Sand Witch Posted July 30, 2015 Global Mods Share Posted July 30, 2015 Wow, that's a lot of additions . o . It seems like a completely new game. Definitely starting from the beginning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Revengercm Posted July 30, 2015 Share Posted July 30, 2015 (edited) I don't know why you shouldn't post a teaser on how the old stuff looks now. It doesn't spoil anything else besides graphics. Would love to someone to convince me with pictures. I'm at 80% being convinced. Edited July 30, 2015 by Revengercm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SnowGlaceon Posted July 30, 2015 Share Posted July 30, 2015 Yo. SnowGlaceon here. Beta tester. I don't think I can say much more about the new update without spoiling anything. I'm only here to bring the HYPE!!!!!!! Version 6 is coming out soon. Very soon. Let's get some hype up. I don't see why it should. If you choose one option on one save file, and if you were to start up a new save and choose the other, no bugs would occur since that's completely different game data. Edit: Okay, Jan pointed out to me that you might be confused. The story split is v6 new content, not something that he added to an older area. I think I know what area you're talking about. I don't know how much it affects the story tho. PM me details? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BIGJRA Posted July 30, 2015 Share Posted July 30, 2015 Blacksteeple Castle... sounds awesome. I'm not gonna lie, V.5 certainly had a bunch of issues and wasn't the most polished thing in the world, but I'm actually really excited to replay this now that it got a massive update throughout the entire game.

Polaris Posted July 30, 2015 Author Share Posted July 30, 2015 Wow, that's a lot of additions . o . It seems like a completely new game. Definitely starting from the beginning. It really feels like one too. Great choice, you won't regret it. I don't know why you shouldn't post a teaser on how the old stuff looks now. It doesn't spoil anything else besides graphics. Would love to someone to convince me with pictures. I'm at 80% being convinced. That's up to Jan, not me. He'll be updating the screenshots though, so look out for those. I wasn't planning on restarting, but I am now... this is really good to know! Yay! Glad I could provide this information for you Blacksteeple Castle... sounds awesome. I'm not gonna lie, V.5 certainly had a bunch of issues and wasn't the most polished thing in the world, but I'm actually really excited to replay this now that it got a massive update throughout the entire game. Yup. I agree 100%. This update polishes everything, you won't be disappointed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Global Mods Ice Cream Sand Witch Posted July 30, 2015 Global Mods Share Posted July 30, 2015 (edited) I thought the Bagon/Beldum thing was just a joke from someone who hasn't played the alpha or beta.

Developers Jan Posted July 30, 2015 Developers Share Posted July 30, 2015 I don't know why you shouldn't post a teaser on how the old stuff looks now. It doesn't spoil anything else besides graphics. Would love to someone to convince me with pictures. I'm at 80% being convinced. For the sole reason of "I don't want to". At least right now. I think it'd be more appropriate to show them during the v6 thread. Also, if you really want, I have shown photos in v6 thread* (Doesn't mean it's final, but pretty close).
