Plans for Gen 7 Pokemon in Reborn?

[Tartar]

Reborn is pretty far into its development cycle, but with Gen 7 hastily approaching, are there only plans for adding the newly added Pokemon to Reborn when the games are released?

[Shadow Tack]

IIRC Ame said no awhile back, way too much work at this point.

Pretty sure Ame said that Gen 7 might get implemented with or after E19 (the final chapter).

Although we might see some new megas early if needed for gym leaders - like if there is a Mega Dragonite in Gen 7, Saphira will probably use it even if the rest of Gen 7 won't be implemented at the time.

Okay.

Here's the official answer:

Maybe

I've seen the bloody conversation pop up enough times I feel like it could go into the FAQ because it's gonna get asked a thousand more after every little announcement. You shouldn't ask if Ame is going to add Gen VII into Reborn before asking: is this even possible? Anybody know the answer to that? Can anyone even tell me all the Pokemon, abilities, and changes added to Gen VII. Anybody? Anybody? That's my point. It's going to take a very, very long while before fan games can even consider adding Gen VII Pokemon into their games as it takes time. We still know practically nothing about it as it stands.

Basically this, with the addition that in truth it boils down to if my team will have the time to do it.

Honestly, I'm fairly confident that I can implement anything new that comes in the new generation as long as it is within RPG Maker XP's capabilities, however, there are other, more important implementations and Gen 7 as it stands is not even within our to-do list, so when I say it's a huge maybe, then I mean that it's a huge, colorful, maybe.
