X% Hype!!! [E18 Dev Discussion Thread]

All non-legend and such pokemon WILL be available before the Elite Four, but I can't confirm whether or not that means some of them could still be locked away in E19 or not.

 

Hopefully AI updates will be finalized for E18, yes, but of course we'll have to see how well our updates fare through testing to see if any more work is needed for E19.

When you factor everything in, we still have quite a handful of Pokemon left to go that aren't available yet other than out of chance or through a choice. I don't think the Bagon line will be available yet, but other than that, I think the remainder Pokemon will be legally obtainable in some means or another.

We only have two gym leaders left to fight, The Rock type Gym Leader (Hardy) and the Dragon one (Saphira).

 

 

So, how is this going to work? Saphira is a Dragon Type Leader, therefore, she will most likely have access to powerful Pseudo Legendaries like Garchomp and Salamence.

 

 

But Hardy? Rock is the second worst Defensive Type. To make this boss fight difficult, you have to give him an extremely overpowered field effect.

I think Hardy will probably get the Cave or Mountain field effect.

I noticed lately (around after beating Noel)  we get fewer and fewer neutral trainers to battle. In the old games your road would be shit piled with them. All you get to battle with others are Team Meteor and gym leaders. Needa Moar!

Level cap issues. There are rebattlable trainers to compensate and level up when you need it, not when you just want to proceed. However I agree a trainer here and there would be good for the sake of diversion and entertainment, like in the Iolia Valley.

From an RP perspective, not many "normal Trainers" are worthy, or able enough, to proceed up until the point the main character (and friends) is...

So it's been a few months since this was posted, but I'm not sure where to look to see the status of episode 18, and I'm super duper excited about it coming out. Is there anywhere to see how it's coming along?

Amethyst has a development blog. You can access it at the top of the forum. Its directly to the right of the Pokemon Reborn download.

Currently stands at 72%, and she said a while back that everything big is done there's just a bunch of little things.

Thank you; for some reason, I sometimes have difficulty finding things here, even though I also googled it! Anyways, thanks again!

78% done... why do I get the feeling that this is gonna be an extremely short update?

Well Ame said that almost every character appears.

That makes it sound like it'll have a lot of stuff in it.

Any episode is shorter if compared to E16.

training those silly pieces of code to battle better is still a big job though. 

 

hopefully one day we get AI improvements to partners in sections that we're paired up.

@ShadeStrider Think again! Ame said some time ago, ep18 is going to be story heavy. Don't rush to celebrate, yet, cause you will be disappointed... She still has "a ton of small things" to take care of and most importantly, is currently stuck at "AI troubleshoot". The last one is going to be very time consuming, once again, like last time... Plus, the few bars that near completion (like Sidequests), wont go up anytime soon, unless the whole AI sector is probably finalized.

Also, Hardy is going to have a Tyranitar.

 

 

I guarantee it.

I will call it, he will have at least Mega Tyranitar, Mega Diancie, and Mega Aerodactyl.

No trainer can have more than one Mega. And Mega Tyranitar is outclassed in a lot of roles by Base Tyranitar because Base Tyranitar has an Item slot free.

 

The Mega Slot will most likely go to Mega Aerodactyl, since at this point in the game, we have access to Metagross, meaning Mega Diancie would be too easy to beat down.

And here I wish the Mega Slot will go to either Tyranitar or Diancie. I just wish Aerodactyl wasn't his first pokemon.
