V13 Discussion Thread

[ShogokiX]

With the discontinuation of essentials the main problem with including an entire new generation of Pokémon is that Jan and his team would have to create every single new Pokémon, every single new move, every single ability from scratch.

That means lots of coding, spriting, animations, etc. Of course all of that is possible, or else we wouldn't have things like Pulse and Rift Pokémon or the gym leaders custom moves. But it takes time.

 

Sure, we all (including me, of course) have a bunch of questions we'd like to get answered, but let's be honest here: Not only does Jan's dev team have to create all the new (story) content for V13, they also have to craft all Gen 8 stuff that will make it into V13 from scratch AND manually put said Gen 8 stuff into all the content that already exists up to the end of V12. Especially those of you who played Reborn for long enough to remember the times before Gen 6 and 7 existed should know how much changes those meant for Reborn, and it's the same for Rejuvenation.

 

Asking when V13 will be released is pointless right now, since not even Jan should be able to know that yet.

Can we romance non important npcs?

I really like to hang out more with truck daddy

Love the small touches like the skeleton's tail shadow. Can't believe your attempting a wild area at such a massive scale, your crazy dude.

Correction. Once every old content, new content and Gen 8 pokemon are at 100%, it is possible a bit to release the V13 of Pokemon Rejuvenation. You need to be patient and see the current state of V13 Status Thread.

If you were curious about the new route theme for Route 4... Be curious no longer!

 

 

[Zumi]

VERY excited that ppl wanted to put the song as the new route 4 theme!!!! it's kinda funny how route 4 initially had a remix i made, then it went to a remix by a different artist, and now it's back to a remix i did. we've come full circle!!!!!

It's the circle of life Zumi!

 

Sounds great and i'm looking forward to hear it in game.

[Alisae]

its pretty fitting for the route

[OmegaStellarSolare]

Yeah, whatever it is, it doesn't matter to me on that route 4. I liked much Giratina theme remix made by Glithxcity/Kamex (Original/2017). I was imagining about new Final Endeavor 2 music (this music has nothing to do with Rift Gardevoir).

Bro, what are you even trying to say?

I have no plans to add TR's. TM's will stay the same.

The entire game (SWSH) was built around raids and getting TR's by spamming raids with friends or what have you.

 

Since Rejuv is not built around raids, the system of TR's and the shortening of movesets for certain Pokemon should not, and will not apply here.

 

Adding old tms to new Pokemon is a brand new conversation, though. One that I am not too sure on myself. 

thank you Jan  I also agree with you, Rejuv should stay the same, just add gen 8 pokes if and you can and thats it  I am personally not a fan of gen 8 mechanics and changes and I love Rejuv just the way it is

Spoiler

Where? Until now, time travels have always been to key places in Aevium already related to places in the present: Kugearen and Marianette's Theolia Manor (with stormchasers town being adjacent to it), Sheridan, Hiyoshi City (related to, at first, GDC, then Zone Zero)... I fail to see where could the museum theme go in past or present Aevium that the team could need to go. The only one would be Kristiline to see Anju? We could see how Indriad fused with her to make Angie but, again, we already got that from the Manor...

Nope, the reason of why Angie turned evil is still unknown but it will be on flashback, I think. Do you remember the scene about what Nymiera said about obelisk?

The reason why Angie is evil was already explained it the game. Angie is a fusion of Anju and Indraid(Victus) with Indraid having the dominate personaility. How did Indraid fuse himself with Anju and what was the purpose of it is the true mystery.

[kithas]

It was an easy to miss hidden scene when going through tower of Theolia (the same as if and only if you completed the maid's sidequest on Theolia Manor, you could see Anjou was captured by Indriad during or after Storm-9 and doesn't even know what happened to the world (she asks you for Sheridan, Kristiline, and Hiyoshi pass, iirc) so her lore is hidden, but it's there.

Wait what? Where could you see that cut scene specifically?

[ChrisC]

I was wondering if "new" tms will be made, such as the fangs moves (Ice, fire and thunder)? I want to use a Yamper, well its evolution in my new run and to use its ability, it would be nice to have at least thunder fang, well, if Yamper and its evolution are available, of course! I wonder why it's not able to learn it by breeding tho. And if the tms aren't made, I will just use another electric move, I was just wondering! xD

When climbing that tower in Angie's Rift, at some point you see a door that's blocked by some curtains or something. If you go upstairs, an event will happen (I think meeting Kreiss, not sure), then if you head back again, the curtain should be gone and you'll see that scene!

That’s why is still unknown.

I guess the time sequence would be: Anjou meets Melia & the PC in Sheridan --> Anjou meets Melia & The PC around Hiyoshi city, and with Nymiera and Hazuki goes against Indriad --> The PC sees Anjou trapped in the rooms behind Indriad/Marianette's manor--> (Presumably, the optional flashback we see in Tower of Theolia) --> The mad woman known as Angie seized Kristiline town and took residence in Theolia's church

 

The only "missing" points in her story would be her future (we will see her again, I'm sure, and we will face her Regice) or the exact point Indriad fuses with her we saw methaforically. But I think we already got filled in what happened with the flashback, so I'm not so sure we need it.

If you've been keeping up with Generation 8, you might've heard or seen stuff about the new Wild Area. If you're unfamiliar with this, the Wild Area is a big and wide open space that has a variety of Pokemon based on location, and weather. 

Wild Area: 

 

The Reservoir:

What is the Reservoir? It's a giant and wide open area that expands over time. Route 4 never had a good design because at the time, I had no idea what to do with it.

One of the only areas that wasn't planned out at all. You can tell that much from just playing through it. So I transformed it into something with substance,

A place you can actually do things in.

What's different?

Well, for one, the place is absolutely massive. One of the largest areas in the game, actually. The path to Akuwa Town is short and simple, but once you start exploring,

a whole new world is opened up to you. I don't want to show the entire map, but here's a little bit of context on how big this map is:

 

This small snip-it is only about 1/8th of the place.

It's pretty empty right now as most of it isn't even evented, however, I have a lot of plans for this place.

 

What are the benefits of being here?
Nothing is set in stone as this is pretty early on, but, this is what I have in mind:

Everything in the Reservoir has scaling:

• Levels
• Exp growth
• IV's
• Shiny Rate
• Money Gain

Knowing all this is great and all, but how exactly will they scale? As of right now, the plan is to have playtime influence scalings. Although that is the plan, I am aware of how easily this can be abused.

One could just afk on a new file and run into level 80 mons without even facing Valarie. I have a few ideas to prevent this, but I shall share those at another point.

 

Oh my god.

 

I was happy enough to know that Gen 8 will be added to V13 but to actually incorporate some mechanics of the wild are onto the game? With little to no resource? BITCH.

 

BLESS YOU JAN AND DEV TEAM. Hot damn.

That means we will be facing a Rift Regice made by ice, and Angie’s blood mixed with darkness made by rift. That’s why it’s revealed that Regice had a different color due to the cost of the Anju’s blood. But I wish to save Angie from Indriad, dammit. Indriad must pay his life for breaking the taboo. I swear it, I must save her even if there’s more objections.

[MakubeX]

I wonder if we'll get new designs for our PC/main characters. It's been a minute since we got new clothes for them.
