April/Krystal didn't give her ticket to Kanon, she gave it to Erin. Kanon still hasn't returned to the train as of the end of V8. 

Also, it sounds like you just met her in V8. Krystal has actually already appeared before under the name April in a sidequest in Amethyst Cave. I believe this sidequest becomes available after defeating Angie. 

For the legendaries/defending Hoenn part, in Rejuvenation's world there are probably more than one of each species of legendary Pokemon (with Arceus being a possible exception). There's an NPC who says that you can find all Pokemon in Aevium. I also remember Narcissa asking "What's a Giratina doing under Wispy Tower?" Tesla says "Stupid Kyogre, catching me off guard like that" in a way that makes it sound like she wasn't really impressed to see Kyogre and treated the situation like it was just any wild Pokemon. Geara says "Madelis's Mewtwo?" which may imply Madelis's Mewtwo isn't the only one there is. The Dimensional Rift Volcanion was taken from its mother, so we know there's more than one Volcanion. 

hmm I didn't see that in the chat log for mewtwo  lol

I don't want to sound rude here, and this is just a general statement towards this question, but I'm working as fast as I can.

 

I'm considering removing the status bar because there's just so much work that there's more that's even being displayed here.

 

I understand that we're all excited and impatient- Trust me, I get it. I am too. I want Version 9 to be done faster

than anyone here, but I just can't keep working nonstop. I'm the only one actively working on the game. Everything

that's done is done by me and that just takes time. If I'm honest... truthfully honest here, I'm a little burned out

at the moment. I try to work on the game as much as I can, but I just cannot. It's not that I love the project less,

or that I don't want to do this anymore- I just need a break. 

 

I'm thinking of composing a team in the future so that this won't happen again, but that's a conversation for another day.

Definitely take a break if you need it Jan.
I really appreciate everything you have done for us!

I agree with Timothy. You are working very hard on this along with others who are helping with this game and I also very much appreciate it. You deserve a rest if you need it.

That's Fine, Jan. I understand that you have been working extremely hard on this project.

Everyone deserves a rest sometime.

If you need a break, take it.

Say, if Melia attracts (and even CREATES) shiny Pokemon, wouldn't the time police's funding be secured right there and then? Sure, she won't have an excuse to put on a maid outfit, but selling shinies must be profitable. And considering they're literally working to save existence I'm sure the moral cost is worth it, if you even see pokemon sale as something wrong.

Even if the Moral Cost is worth it, I doubt that they would break their moral codes.

Considering they have teleporting powers, it should be easy to do background checks on whoever they sell to if they care.

 

Melia has a magic ability that can finally see some use, and it's not used.

well melia dose see that ability she has  as somethink that can be used that well as she still not showen us the full power of her ability yet

 

[ShadeStrider]

Also, Who is to say that money making is the only purpose of Melia getting a Job?

They could have made her take the job in order to teach Melia Discipline.

 

[Winter Angel]

@ShadeStrider You have a point there. Kinda cliche but it's true. Having to deal with people under pressure, taking care and being rational, making sure a fight doesn't break out in the middle of the restaurant (points at Venam and Kanon). Melia said she was there for three years and has not done much but get a job. I know this isn't like the movies or anything of the like- but that's a long time to teach some patience and all those virtues. 

What about Kanon? I don't remember much about him so I might have reread the diary again. All we know now is that Krystal sent him off somewhere to do Arceus knows what. You have to wonder about that and how that will impact us.

The diary mentions him meeting a masked woman (possibly Madame X) who gave him an outfit and hair change and told him they should keep in touch. I forget the reason why Madame X was interested in him, but Professor Irvin was unnerved by his new appearance. There's also a part of his room blocked off by boxes that has a book and a Garufa symbol on the floor. 

[Winter Angel]

@Ice Cream Sand Witch Ah yes. I remember that. You have to wonder why Irvin was so unnerved by this. Speaking of him, what's his story? It's likely that he encountered Spacea and Timea? (yes I forget how to spell her name) at some point in time as he's designed to train the next avatar (sorry had to throw that joke there).

 

Anyway, too many questions and too few answers. We have to wait and see. @Jan Don't burn yourself for us. Take your time and it'll be over faster than you expect.

(I died on the inside typing that, but for real, don't burn yourself out. Take a break if you need to, although, I'd prefer you finish Version 9 before you do so.)

The Rumors did not embellish the truth. He's a Leviathan.

 

 

[Sceptilespy]

Dunno if you can or feel like answering this, Jan.

But how will the game go about introducing Z-moves. Will it be you get the Z-ring thing via sidequest, and then you can find the Z-crystals all over the region? Or will the game directly introduce you to it:

Melia: "Ah, I'm getting fisted by Madame X, but go get that Z-ring in the corner. Yeah, right there, thanks."

Jokes aside, I'm interested to see how the game goes about it. And will Gym Leaders use Z-moves? Rivals? Important characters? And more importantly. How will Z-moves have an effect on the story, if it has one at all:

Melia:"Nuuu, I've been beaten!"

Madame X: "Hahuehe, Yveltal, use Heat Wave on Insert Name City! But wait, there's more! Inferno Overdrive charged Heat Wave!"

*City destroyed by massive Heat Wave. Yveltal absorbs souls of dead people. Becomes powerful.*

GG Resistance, Madame X has won.

I said Jokes aside earlier, but for real this time. How WILL the game go about Z-moves. And will Madame X use X-moves?

 

[Daniel Blackworth]

First of all, I don't think Z-Moves will be given to the player until later versions, probably around the 16th badge or even postgame, as it has proven to be overpowered in some cases and its kind of game breaking for some of its possible uses. When Z-Moves are actually accessible to the protag, it will most likely entail a really extensive sidequest, just like the Mega Sidequest and it will challenge the player a lot. 

 

Second, Z-Moves will probably be used by higher ranked gym leaders/bosses, probably alongside Mega Evolution, and in regards to the story, Z-Moves are hardly relevant, I suppose. There are other ways to give more impact to enemy attacks.
