I think it will be way more fitting and simple if yamask trained in the zorrialyn labyrinth (that place with the garufan curse) will evolve into runerigus. 

It would also make sense too I suppose

Wasn't he Zorrialyn labyrinth the place where the only pokemon (not counting water) was actually Runerigus' actual counterpart? I would think that was the least ideal place for it lol

Mabye somewhere like zone zero...

Anything but "go to this place, lose this amount of HP while doing backflips with your monitor upside down while running a marathon as you press the Konami Code 10x"

[Swampellow]

Yamask and therefore Cofagrigus is available in Goldenleaf. Galar Yamask and it’s evo will be added somewhere, and it’s evo method will be changed in a way that makes sense. It is the same case as the Alolan forms evolving on Terajuma or alolan marowak evolving in the goldenleaf area.

[Ya Gorl]

I think it would make sense for Yamask to evolve into Runerigus in Alamissa Desert or in the underground castles after Goldenwood, since they've both sorta got the vibe that Runerigus has going

meh i got my walking thanksgiving dinner ready to kick it into next week

Why I see everyones team and they got 2 starters!?

[MhicKy]

I sure hope so.. Some pokemons have INSANE ways to evolve them.. I still remember younger me trying to get a Milotic in Ruby.. Good thing GameFreak changed the method cuz godammit that was annoying, time consuming and tedious.. If you don't know you had to increase it's Beauty factor to around maximum I believe(?) and that was a mechanic for those Pokemon Contests that were removed (hence why they changed it) and the only way to increase it was feeding PokeBlocks that needed to be mixed with specific berries.. But then I look at Runerigus and even Sirfetch'd and I have the feeling they haven't learn at all.. Have you also seem Sirfetch'd?!

Quoting from Bulbapedia: "It evolves from Galarian Farfetch'd after landing three critical hits in a single battle"
That is so luck based.. It doesn't sound difficult but then a bunch of situations can happen, Farfetch'd is quite weak so he can get KOed, or the criticals might never appear or you might defeat your opponent before the third critical, it's so arduous and tedious.. Your best bet would be fighting something that doesn't fight back in bulks, like the infamous 6 Magikarp Trainer that only uses splash and pray that you'll land 3 criticals before defeating all of them.. It's also unfair that only the Galarian Farfetch'd got an evolution while regular Farfetch'd is still in dire need of a change..

Because you can get more than the original starter.. You can find them around the game quite easily, almost every one of them are available if you just look for them, example, Bulbasaur is acquired in a Help Center quest in Kakori Village, Tepig is found in a Rock Climb spot in Mount Valor and Liten is found in the bridge between West Gaeren and East Gaeren assuming you have the key to open the gate, those are just 3 examples but like I said, almost all of the starters are obtainable.

I understand what you are trying to say, but I don't think the way of evolving galarian Farfetch'd has to change.

In Pokemon sword a wild Farfeth'd has 50% chance of be holding a leek. This item rises Farfetch'd crit by 2 stages so if you have it holding one he has 50% chance of landing a critical hit with a regular move. Also, if your farfetch'd knows either leaf blade or night slash it will always land a critical hit, so you just need to find a trainer that can handle 3 crits.

Note: I used a spoiler bar because I didn't want to cover a lot of space.

We could just take a rare candy there. Like, the West gearen generator. 

[Magus543]

Now i'm wondering where Wooloo will be in. Will they be a common pokemon early game like say Woobat or will they be available at like Yui's ranch? 

 

Also do you  guys think Rookidee would be common or like late game and only an event like Skarmory?

I would bet Wooloo being an event actually

About Rookidee, I think we can get it early on actually, Skarmory is pretty strong due to it's moveset and it's base stats on top of being a single stage so he starts powerful from the beginning, Rookidee still has 2 evolutions to go through so it evens out in my opinion, it would also fit pretty well around Goldenleaf Town, yunno, being a crow and all

First, thanks to the developers(Jan,Zumi and others) for creating such a beautiful pokemon game that can be run by low end pc. You really deserve the respect you get from all your fans and others. Though i like to make a small request. I do not have PgUp and PgDown button in my keyboard needed for fly. So i wish if it had control options like Reborn, so i can reconfigure and play easily. Pretty please. 

 

Oh. I am very sad to know that Jan got Covid but glad to know he is recovering well. Please take some rest in this crisis.

Might not be the thread for this, but fn+arrow keys replaces pgup/pgdown functions for me for scrolling through maps while flying. Could be worth it to give that a shot, I'm playing on a macbook.

[Akin]

There is no fn key in my keyboard either. And which thread do you prefer?

[MhicKy]

@Jan or @Zumi
I realized no one asked this question and I am quite curious..
Pokemon Sword and Shield is getting a new DLC now with new pokemons like the Galarian Legendary Birds so I wanted to ask.. Are you guys going to wait for the DLC to be release to get those new pokemons added on V13 or are they going to be postponed to V14? Or perhaps there will be a quick update along the lines of a V13.1 just to add them and nothing else?

Things like that just made me realize how hard it can be to make a Pokemon game when GameFreaks just suddenly decides to add new Pokemons out of the blue like this..

You can also just do it by fighting Audino trainers.They have exactly 3 Audinos and are rebeatable so it should be pretty easy to evolve him this way.

Some of these Audino Trainers are annoying to fight tho'.. Like the one in Goldenleaf that uses Secret Power that has a chance to cause sleep.. The only one worthy of leveling is the one in Route 9 since his Audinos don't attack but even that one is tricky since your Farfetch'd would had to be faster than his Audino so he can at least attack once before they suicide..

I was thinking about one of the EV training trainers. They are no threat even if the Farfetch'd has weak defenses. And they even have 6 meltans in case it didn't land the 3 critical hits in the first 3 ones.

[gilam]

i hope we get more items for pokemons to hold.

the start of the game we have very few.

 

love this game and sure V13 make the game even better.

i think the game need a littel polishe, but you guys every ep check how to improve

the old content so i am sure in the end the game will be great.

 

hope we get more achievements and more mon's hunt from zumi.

Hi guys. It's been a while since I've made a status update here, so I thought I'd go ahead and clear up a few things.

 

Most people know that I am based in NYC, the area that was hit hardest by the Corona virus. Unfortunately, I was not able to stay healthy 

and contracted the disease (I live with an essential worker and I got it from them.) For the past few weeks I have been struggling with Covid,

but I can happily say that I'm in recovery now. I have been for a little while.

 

During this time, working on Rejuv has obviously been scarce. But I did not stop completely. I went on to take the opportunity of quarantine to visit past areas and continue polishing. I may never(and hopefully never, ever. Seriously, covid sucks.) get a chance where I have a lot of free time to do something like this. So I decided that it's probably in my best interest to work on things that don't require a lot of energy and focus. I have been working on things that were not planned.

 

If this is the case, why hasn't the Old Content section been updated? Everything that was done prior to quarantine was planned content. Now that I'm working on things I had not considered, I thought it would be inappropriate to consider this part of that progress bar. I could create a separate section for the content I'm working on now, but eh... Even now, the things I'm working on are still not considered planned. I'm just going where my energy wants me to. So for me to put out another progress bar may be pointless.

 

It's not much, but these are a few examples of what I've polished up.

There are many, many, MANY other things I have in store, but these are just a few things I wanted to show. Just to assure that things are still moving, albeit at a slow pace. But that's all I have to talk about for now. Please stay safe and have a wonderful day :).

omg I'm so glad you're okay and on the road to recovery Jan. The polished content looks great!! You do whatever you feel is necessary, slow progress means nothing when you're making such an amazing game so take all the time you need, it is your game after all. Stay safe and get well soon.

When you say polish, what do you mean specifically? Leaving it at just "needs to be polished" doesn't give me much to go by.

[Magus543]

This game is pretty balanced i'd say if that's what polished means. Though i'm no game dev and have no idea how to balance a game so yeah. 

 

Sure early game can be pretty hell, like throwing enemy legendaries and rigged fields at us, but the difficulty is fair IMO even if there is things like automatic rain in certain gyms designed to stop fire type users.  And i can appreciate certain changes to early game like having Kenneth back us up against Madelis and her little experiment which makes the game's journey much more enjoyable.   

 

 

I still remember a time when we had to solo Shadow Mewtwo. XD. Good times, good times.

like i say very few  items for mons to hold for very long time.

mmm the conversation With the captain we dont need it because we have this details from amanda.

more useable mon's form different types [we get 2 nidoran A-grimer and budew or 3 good psychic mon]

it's fel important for intense mode.

you're doing great great job on putting mons that are very good but if you put them later players don't use them because they have better options.

 

but like i say it's really minor, the game is great and very fun and changing all the time.

 

i know you will do an amazing job when you finish the last episode because the game is already in a very high place.
