Autumn Zephyr Posted April 5, 2020 Share Posted April 5, 2020 Regarding the ladder, we'll just have to wait and see. The Q&A did reveal that it would be accessible eventually, but how soon it'll be was left up in the air. As for the Tournament... I dunno. The government's been to busy making sure that their leader was still safe in the days following Bladestar's attack to make any official announcements on the matter (as far as we're aware, anyway), so who knows how things are looking from that angle. On the other hand, it's looking increasingly likely that it was the Mysterious Figures that signed us up in the dang thing, and they don't seem like the types to do anything if they don't think it'll go exactly the way they want it to. I highly doubt putting us a "convenient" reason to travel to the Eclysia Pyramid was the only thing they had in mind for that move if I'm correct on this one.

Adam. Posted April 5, 2020 Share Posted April 5, 2020 So will the mystery egg be able to have galaran darumuaka and will more mons be added to the list? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I highly doubt that more pokemon will be added to the list- the Mystery Egg in both games have maintained a strict 18 option availability list (one for each Type), which doesn't seem like something Jan would be too keen on changing. What the representitives are, however, are guaranteed to see sort of change- Rejuvenation's got mareanie on its Mystery Egg list despite predating Gen. 7, after all. As for Galarian darumaka specifically... I'd be genuinely surprised if it did get added. Both forms of Galarian darmanitan are notorious for savagely bludgeoning competitive on release, so they're probably going to be deemed too powerful to be given right after the third Gym. Never mind the fact that the current Ice representative is the generally respected sneasel, which I don't see getting dropped anytime soon on its own. Naturally, it's always possible for the Devs to make me eat my words, so we'll just have to wait and see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I remember the tournament was confirmed to continue. I suspect that we might get the Mega-ring from Amber during or at the end of the tournament. As for the mistery egg, they could just add one or two gen8 mons to the selection without replacing anything. The mons available are meant to cover all generations and types, so they'd need to have the same typing to replace them. @Autumn Zephyr I believe the list for Rejuv is already 20 or so long, not 18 anymore, so adding more might not be out of the question Edited April 5, 2020 by Edo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delta3416 Posted April 5, 2020 Share Posted April 5, 2020 (edited) If I had to guess for the mystery egg, maybe Toxel or Falinks would work? As for G-Darumaka it’s the biggest competitive monster since Talonflame. I would probably expect to be available when we get to Neverwinter (possibly this chapter but maybe not).

If i play easy mode, how had is this game's version of easy? I can't say anything for the overall difficulty as a Reborn-Style player myself, but I do know that you get a slight edge in regards to the Gym Battles. Where the harder two difficulties give every Gym Leader a full six pokemon (with one exception), Casual Mode instead gives you 4 pokemon to beat. There's also apparently some sort of level-down code, so that should help out a little bit as well (there was a bit of trouble back in V10 where it affected a battle it definitely should not have, which is why I know about it). It'll probably still be a little harder than a main series game early on, but it'll be a more lenient way to learn the game's ropes and enjoy the story~!

xiaomaome Posted April 5, 2020 Share Posted April 5, 2020 i have played insurgence but on normal mode. i think i could handle that. if the AI is anything like insurgence, I may even love it; one of the main appeals of insurgence was the aggressive style of the ai Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OmegaStellarSolare Posted April 5, 2020 Share Posted April 5, 2020 That's totally unfair about West Gearen because it's still the same and I believe this city should be renovated too and the other places if necessary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Autumn Zephyr Posted April 5, 2020 Share Posted April 5, 2020 The fact that West Gearen went untouched is a matter of in-universe politics. When the Blakeory's decided to turn all of their focus to GDC, they gave the eastern half to Jan and co. in a surprising act of charity (there's almost certainly far more red tape involved, knowing them, but we probably don't need to be privy to that information), whilst still keeping control of the western half. Since Jan and co. didn't have legal control of the entire city, they weren't able to clean up all of it- and attempting to do so most likely would've been a violation of the agreement. Thus, West Gearen continues to be the Dark City while East Gearen has been rejuvenated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Draconis Posted April 5, 2020 Share Posted April 5, 2020 Well, considering we'll be facing Saki up next, maybe something will happen involving the Blakeory's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Specially remembering the Ability Capsules just being sold in the GDC Store, all I need is good IVs Spoiler Tho' I still remember how upset I was when I used Melia/Ren/Aelita's Pokemons and they all have perfect IVs and held items I current have no access to.. I almost had a fit of rage when you take control of Adam and he has a mega Aerodactyl.. Like.. WTF Jan?! You have the mechanics and items necessary in game but not the Mega Ring/Z Ring for the player to obtain.. But I think the mints ~might~ be a thing, you just gonna have to grind a bunch of Stamps to get to the higher floors that aren't yet available.

Tikkit Posted April 6, 2020 Share Posted April 6, 2020 Technically we get the ring next version, so it seems a bit late to be mad about it now. Anyway, maybe Jan was afraid of someone using Debug mode to give themselves rift matter to give themselves a powerful rift pokemon. Or, he just didn't want us to have access to Mega pokemon earlier on, since we technically obtain our first mega stones before we fight Erick.

Tikkit Posted April 6, 2020 Share Posted April 6, 2020 Exactly. If we got it at a reasonable time, then we'd have way too strong of a tool that could trivialize all the painstakingly crafted gym battles, or Valor Mountain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least it's reassuring to see that your savefile can be fine as long as you save in those ares pre-update..

BRS swag Posted April 6, 2020 Share Posted April 6, 2020 I'm taking a wild guess but, I think the game might go into beta testing by end of 2020. But, hey, it's all right even if it's longer. The longer we wait, a better, well-tailored game we get. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
