[OFFICIAL Q&A] Ask the Rejuvenation dev team!

[Magus543]

I knew Flora was a snake, and so did the dev team. I had a feeling Kanon's character was retconed, though i feel he still has Texen in him, but more bumbling and innocently insensitive than Texen's cruelty, i guess some people can relate. Also WHAAT??? Karen is only 27ish? I think it's because of her overworld sprite, and her general demeanor that made people think she was in Tesla's age range. I still remember the double take i had when i saw her sprite. Also the fact that the MCs have canon personalities both amuses me and horrifies me, if we consider the implications. Hell yeah, Axel and i would get along, no wonder i picked him as my possible meat puppet.

If you had to place a canon time for the neo gearen sidequests and the like, is it while we're in gdc or later?

 

[lokighost]

first thing is to you zumi love the art work you put in and to both you and jan on others thank you for a great game and my question is as we all know the new pokenom game is out at the end of the year and i'm guess it would be about verson 14 or 15 befor the new mons are added when do you think you guy would be putting the new mons in?

[yume]

Ahh, thank you @Zumi for answering most of my questions  It's really interesting!

Spoiler

And just so you know I consider a "perhaps :^)" and a [REDACTED] age an answer, too, hehe ;D

 

Btw, reading through this thread is super interesting, too!

Gonna keep it short this time, here's a fun question: If you were to live in Aevium, where would you live and why?

[eternal.irony]

 

1. Every time i heal in certain places or go through a cut scene i revert to the legacy sprites is there a way to fix this?

2. Do each of the Protagonists have a different cut scene for that when we have a memory resurface near the house in Zone Zero

3. Does Lorna's disgust to herself originally being called Nim have anything to do with Nymiera

4. Are Angie and Anju the same person or is Angie a descendant of Anju

5. What was the inspiration for special pokemon like Delpha or Tuff-Puff

6. Who is more of a memester Reina or Axel

 

Thank for creating an amazing game that gets me hype for every new release

this may come out of left field, but is there an alternate timeline where everyone is living peacefully and having Slice of Life/Sticom hijinks, and the PC is basically the Kenny/"Lancer Died, you're not Human!" Recurring Joke?

[Dex]

I kinda have two questions. One story related and the other development related.

 

1) So from what I can tell from the cutscenes in Version 11 and 12, the Interceptor some kind of Avatar (or maybe a better example would be the Harbinger from the game Omensight) and the MC is just the latest in the line of them? Or are they just some kind of fusion of multiple beings into one?

 

Because my read in the cutscene where the MC gets knocked out by the surfboard dude in V11 kinda supports either/or. 

 

2) To the development team, Rejuvenation does quite of bit of outside of battle sprite animations (I'm honestly starting to love them, they're pretty entertaining). What was your favorite part to animate and what was your least favorite part?

[Magus543]

Now here's an art question, what exactly is Crescent wearing? Particularly that pink ish line in the middle of her Sprite, is that supposed to be a tie? Also what's that on her hair?

 

 

 

Spoiler

Also during the illusionary fight with Melia and Aelita, if you lose, we are treated to a scene where surfer dude and dudette beat up our companions and us,but if we win, we see the entire group laying down badly beaten up, and the surfer duo behind us which implies they were watching the entire thing and that the Surfer Dudette didn't even help us during the battle. Does that mean the MC attacked all our friends with our Pokemon and beat them up after getting rid of the Pokemon in the way? Because, ow.

[Bardechia]

Has there been any thought to including a monotype run feature? Particularly to help out types that appear to be lagging in the early game (ie Ice, Ghost, Dragon). Could this be done by a custom starter each of these scarce types or type specific events? 

[HakuryuYukio]

alright, i have 2 questions for each member of the dev team,

 

1. What is your favorite mega evolution ?

2. What is your favorite eeveelution ?

[DerogatoryTrainer]

Might as well take advantage of this.

 

1) So after Maman dies what happens to the orphans? Do we really leave a nine year old in charge of like twelve 5-7 year olds or are we now the co-owner/piggybank? 'Cause I don't see Mosely getting a job to feed those brats.

 

2) I found a book about the Interceptor that said we don't get infinite lives. So how many is there? 7 for the seven character sprites? 9 like a cat?

 

3) How will the Elite 8 work gameplay wise? Is it a brutal gauntlet of 8 Elite trainers one after another and then the champion or is there a breakroom halfway in?

 

4)Will there ever be another tournament that we can win without terrorist interrupting like they do every fun thing in this game?

 

5)Will all 5 star shards combined bring back Hardcore Trainer Adrian from pre-Version 9?

[TjTheKidd]

Would it be possible for us to get a list of all the v12 side quest, I feel like I'm missing out, can we?

[Cyphre]

This one might be a little silly, but how exactly Madame X sees through her helmet? I didnt notice any holes or anything in it. 

Edit: Also during alternative future, the golden ray that split castle in half, was this Yveltal's Decimation or "Father" and his powers?

[nhehvnukl]

Spoiler

Is the spell Karrina used on Karen Risky? If not, why doesn't Karen just gets someone to use it on her once in a while?

 

[Dragonslayer7500]

Spoiler for v12 but...what does dafuaxs ability temporil shift do?

[Alisae]

Will there be more side quests in goomdira?

Also is there plans to do anything more with Oblitus Town?

Also what is Amberette town in the present?

[CrystalKing]

Would it be possible for us to get a solid timeline on when the time-travel segments take place? Further explanation in the spoiler.

 

Spoiler

 

For example, I assume by Indriad recognizing us as having witnessed Anathea's death, the Marianette Gym segment takes place after the first Kugearen segment. I'd also assume the Vivian and Nymiera segments take place before Marianette's Gym as well, considering Anju is not yet jailed by Indriad in those trips to the past.

 

Does the Marianette Gym segment even take place in the same timeline? How about the prologue — does that take place before all this? After? In a different timeline entirely?

 

As you can probably tell, this timeline is the toughest thing for me to wrap my mind around, largely because of Maria/Marianette's shifting identity and name, the repeated changes in the look of the Theolia residence (including when it looks like the house near Zorrialyn Desert), etc. Whatever clarity you can offer would be greatly appreciated!

 

 

[Revok]

1)How big is aevium in comparison of real continent ?

2)What is your favorite region in the game ?

Spoiler

Plot related question (I know you can't answer everything on this subject so I will try to not ask a " Who is Madame X" kind of question lol)

3) So if I understand well the power of the interceptor is that he can see what the player see on screen (and he also can survive multiple death)? For example did the main character see Valarie wanting to dream and dreaming about the attack on the group ?

 

4)What is the timeline ? I thought it was The story of Nymeria's painting ->(long time) Seven Kingdoms ->(long time) The past we are in (Nymeria,Vivan etc...) ->(4-5 decades) Main game, with somwhere in between Miera region events.

I thought there was a long time between the seven kingdoms and Nymeria/Vivians era but with the last sidequest of goomidra kingdom I'm a bit lost (because Nymeria was a friend of Kasumi).

5)Do we know other kingdoms outside of the ones of Kasumi/Iesel/Griselda ?(I may mispell one of them)

 

Thanks for creating this cool game

[Fredzard]

1)When Madame X saves MC in the Chapter 10(The past),she said that she never saw us in the events,like we never do time-travel,so why Cella/Eldest and Hazuki remembered us?

2)In the Undergrond(GDC's sidequest),there is a woman that can read our future,saying to us that we'll do a final fight against someone,with 3 our friends...is this canon for the story?

[Celyna]

Will there be any future episodes with more of a focus on Melia? (as the focus generally felt as though it shifted away from Melia after v10, despite her omnipresence) 

[Azzie]

This may or may not be something you can answer! But seeing as the stuff that makes it a question in the first place is all v12, spoiler:

 

Spoiler

Is there any actual magic in this setting at all? Specifically, is the Garufa magic we've seen in the story actually magic?

 

[seki108]

Are there planned to be more unique/rare items that can be traded for AP points in future versions, as well as more/higher achievements I suppose? 

 

IMO, the achievement system is more interesting that just being given HM replacements and is a positive addition now that I'm replaying the game from the start.

[Kunya]

DOES PARALLEL UNIVERSE EXIST IN THIS GAME? BRCAUSE IF I RETURN TO THE PAST TO CHANGE SOMETHING THE PREDESTINATION PARADOX WILL MAKE THE WHOLE STORY NO SENSE??? THE PARALLEL UNIVERSE ENABLES THE BAD FUTURE WHERE MELANIE IS THE PRINCESS CONTINUES TO MOVE ON RIGHT?

[Zumi]

This thread will be closing tomorrow, so if you still have any inquiries left, better post them before the thread locks!

[Dragonslayer7500]

Just as a fun question, the only gyms left are fairy dark steel and dragon right?
