Spoiler

1. Did Elder Cella recognize the protagonist when they arrived Sheridan village? (She'd already known them in past Sheridan.)

 

2. Hazuki didn't forget about the protagonist, which means she still remember the event in Hiyoshi city. Did she know that her former comrade, Anju, became Angie?

 

3. Will Ana and Dylan appear in the main story? Will their story have any relation with the main story?

 

4. Will there be a continuation of The Legend of The Void sidequest?

I have a personal question for both @Janand @Zumi. Out of all the versions that have been made thus far, which is your favorite? Which did you enjoy working on the most so far? Story wise, character developments, special events?

late response but V12 is probably my favourite so far, though this also has to do with V12 having been an absolute blast to work on. there's a lot of stuff in this episode that i genuinely enjoyed making and playing, so that's probably why!

 

Spoiler

tho probably my favourite thing was the battle with flora!Ryland. as well as doing the art and sprites for that version of ryland........ you could probably tell from how much effort i put into the art LOL

2) Most of them if not all will be unavailable until post-game.

3) Who knows? :^)

1) Mine is Volcarona. I don't know about everyone else but I know Zumi's favorite is Ampharos and I'm pretty sure Sardines' is Typhlosion.
2) There are already some legendaries available, namely Type:Null/Silvally, Phione and Dog form Zygarde. Others will be available post-game.
3) [REDACTED]

Was Amanda always a robot and is Jan behind everything. He has a dusknoir like Isha, so it could have been the same one

She wasn't always a robot. Whenever she shows up with a hat on, she's robot. I don't think Jan is behind anything but what do I know. I don't think the Dusknoir is the same though.

1. Yes, when the gang returns to the present after time traveling in version 10 Cella says she remembers the incident.
2. I don't know.
3. I don't know about Ana but Dylan will definitely show up in the main story.
4. I also don't know this.

I Quick Question, The light and dark prophecy about the four light and four dark and with what we know now about it, is the Mc apart of the prophecy or that doesn’t apply to him/her?

Seeing that he/she is the Interceptor

Just wanted to ask three more questions and that is it.

1: How long has the MC been on their journey ever since the S. S. Oceana was raided and sunk to the bottom of the sea?

2: Which version had a easy development cycle?

3: Which MC design is your favorite out of the six that you can choose from?

Dunno if it's too soon to ask this from a coding perspective, but oh well: once we get enough Zygarde Cores to upgrade it, so to speak, will the reconstruction process reroll the pokemon, or are its traits set from the moment its first put together?

Dragging this out from the void for posterity real quick, and...

 

V12 sidequest spoilers:

Spoiler

If the Interceptor took the Decimation to the face in the ruined present, did the ensuing damage occur to that timeline's Core, or the one in Interceptor's timeline of origin?

 

Is there any chance of Douse getting reworked? I remember being a bit disappointed when I found out that it was just a slightly-stronger Water Gun, and it doesn't seem to have changed any since V9.

 

Speaking of custom attacks, here's a couple question regarding a certain subset:

1) I remember reading some time ago that it was planned for the Gym Leaders' Signature Moves to be made available to the player later on down the line. Is that intended to be post-game, or will a couple show up slightly earlier?

2) What sort of thought process goes into making the Signature Attacks?

 

Edit: Remembered one I had been forgot to ask about- are the "Mysterious Figures" the rogue Stormchasers that were mentioned in V10?

 

One last question before the thread closes: Does Flora pull the Rift Ferrothorn out for the raid on the Judicial District in the event that the Classified Information hadn't been completed by that point?

If you were to give Crests to the Gen 5 starters, what are some ideas for a "debuff" that you'd give to the one for Serperior? Asking because of the Attack >|< Defense swapping effect of the Infernape crest, which would seem like a useless effect on paper, but actually sounds fun to try and use, given Infernape's support options.

Definitely not. I understand the ability is useless, but without that ability Slaking is just too powerful. 

Maybe, instead of outright removing Truant. you could replace it with something like Slow Start, or remove Truant, but lower Slaking's stats

Technically, the player already does with the Solrock/Lunatone fusion.

Considering Nim has the Fusion during her battle, wouldn't that be her unique Pokemon?

as per usual can't answer all of them, but here's a good chunk of your questions answered again!

I was wondering, will the 8 gen pokemon will be put into the game during v13 or v14?

We're gonna try for V13. This will come with a good amount of graphical and technical work, so it'll take a while for the next version to come out, likely :^(

Could you post a link for v1-8? It might be interesting to play and see how much the game improved and changed.

Maybe some day, but for now those versions will remain in the fridge for the time being 😄

not sure if someone asked this, but I thought I'd give it a go

 

Is there a chance we'll see more of Nancy? Like, is she gone for good?

Don't think we can answer that one for you yet!

1) I'd say a couple of months!

2) V12, for sure! Probably the shortest dev cycle we've had in years. Everything aside from that one nasty team switching bug we had went incredibly smoothly and pretty much without a hitch (yes the whole files lost thing during the "hack" was completely fake and i am, as a couple of people have said, full of shit LOL) so I think it's safe to say that was the best cycle so far.

3) Personally I love Ariana and Alain (braids girl and white haired nb) the most!

Will there be another public development thread for 8th gen shinies? I wasn't around when the first one happened and I would really like to help!

Not sure tbh, it's possible but it's also entirely possible that the devs during implementation already might do a couple of custom shinies, so we'll see by the time the full dex comes out and we have all the sprites we need.

You said earlier in this thread Amanda wasn't always a robot, was she turned into one or was she replaced by a robot double?

Replaced!

What makes you decide to remove or add  certain event pokemon from the game? Examples being Shadow Tympole and Shadow Toxicroak.

Some mons would just be too good around that point in the game, so it's for balancing reasons.

Okay this one is for @Zumi, i really like Amethyst factory, what was the inspiration for the song?

Actually that's one of the songs that I didn't put much thought into LOL, I made that song when I was still using Mixcraft and a bunch of loops and shitty midi instruments, so I just slapped something together and was like "THIS SOUNDS LIKE A FACTORY THEME LETS USE IT FOR THAT" so it's. not that deep LMAo i'm booboo the fool

 

by now i'm putting more thought into songs + i'm using FL studio so dshjsd

What was the thought process that went into making rejuvenation?

Jan played Reborn for the first time and wanted to make his own game, I'm pretty sure. It first was a game he just made for his friends (me included!) without really having the intention to release it publicly, but a couple of us pushed him to release it on the forum here and it's kinda??? gone from there??? got WAY out of hand, had a couple of aneurysms in the process, shit caught fire and jan probably died four times during development, but now here we are at seaworld

 

jokes aside, i obviouslly cannot speak for jan himself as of what his actual thoughts are behind rejuv, but i'm pretty sure he just wants to tell a story of his own. he can probably give a more detailed explanation about the thoughts, all i can tell you is about the origins of the game.

Well, i have a few questions here for the devs, if they'd so kindly answer!

1) What was the most frustrating thing to deal with during the development of a new version of Reborn?

 

2) What is all of your favorite foods?

 

3) What is the favorite foods of all the main cast?

4) What pieces of Music (could be from any source) would be the Main PC's/The Interceptor's Theme?

 

5) Out of sheer curiosity....was "Mr. Ren" Nastasia's Childhood Crush? yes, i totally ship them

 

6) Is the Tournament inspired by a Tournament arc from another videogam/anime/manga? (like the N1 Grand Prix from Megaman Battle Network 3)

 

Sorry for the little bombardment of questions, just wanted to ask a few questions that were nagging me at the back of my head.

Ahh, when I saw this thread 2 days ago I was like "omg this is awesome, I have questions... but I can't remember any of them right now o-o", then I saw that it's only open for a week and was even more like "omgggg", so this morning I thought about some things I'd like to ask. (This could get a bit lengthy.)

 

First of all though, thank you for the opportunity and also thanks for making Rejuvenation, Jan, Zumi and dev team ❤️ I fell in love with the game and kinda "marathon-ed" it in a week when I played it for the first time last September (after my bro had recommended it to me 😄). I also did an intense run in ~Feb/March and boy that was hard, haha. Anyways, feel hugged, you guys, for making such an awesome game! Keep up the good work, but don't forget to take breaks ❤️ 

 

Here are my questions:

 

Development & technical questions

 

1) So, idk if this was ever mentioned, but who is part of the development crew and who does what? Also, which part is the most / least fun for you while developing the game? I'm kinda curious about that.

 

2) What was the weirdest or most unexpected bug you've experienced during development until now? And which feature was the hardest to implement until now?

 

3) Will the in-game menu from V11 come back sometime? I read it was removed because it was laggy for some people, but are you considering to add it again if you can manage to reduce the lag? (I thought it was really pretty, but can't do anything about it if it doesn't work properly, sadly 😞)

 

Characters & story

 

4) I know Zumi said the ages of our main characters are more or less up to our own imagination (or ~18 years), but I've been wondering about the age of some other characters. 

Spoiler

Specifically, Nastasia and Karen.

Guess I can elaborate on this a bit. It's kinda obvious that Nastasia and Anastasia from the past are the same person, so if she aged normally she should be around mid fifties. Am I right about this?

Karen on the other hand - I'm just not sure. From her in-game sprite I thought she'd be around Tesla's age, but her battle sprite (from the sidequest) looks younger and also guessing from her diary entries I'd say she's around the same age as Damien, Alexandra, Ryland and Adam? Talking about those four - am I guessing right that they're a bit older than the main cast?

 

5) Another question about ages: Who is older, Melia or Erin?

 

6) This one is kind of a weird question, and I might not get an answer. 

Spoiler

Were Alice and Allen the same person? Because when they were sent to us from the toy box I remember one of them saying "so we finally separated completely" or something along the lines. I also remember back in the Unknown dimension we never saw them together on the screen at the same time.

 

7) Will we ever find out Alice's real name?

 

8) How many of the Elite 8 have appeared in the game until now? (Just "appeared", doesn't mean "we" / our protag have met them yet).

 

Other 

 

9) This question goes to Jan. Since I've played Pokemon Mystery Dungeon Explorers of Sky for the first time ever this year I've been wondering - are you a fan of the PMD series? While playing the game there were so many times when I was like "ohh, I know this song from Rejuvenation :D" 

 

10) V12 question so I'm gonna put it in spoiler tags.

Spoiler

Was the Texen part planned or was it added in because of all the people memeing Texen in the Reborn discord? Either way I laughed so much 😂

 

11) Do you generally like reading the player reactions to story & sidequest content?

 

12) This one is addressed at all of the dev crew: What's everyone's favourite Pokemon?

 

I think this is all for now, I knew it would get long 😨 

Spoiler

Also, I just wanted to mention this, but since this whole interceptor thing started I've got a feeling by the time Reju ends the fourth wall will be shattered into pieces and I'm looking forward to it! 😂

Love you guys, I'm out ❤️
