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.

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.

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.

Interesting, i've never really felt the need to put items on my team in early game. but like Nim gives a psychic spoon that's very helpful for Alola Raichu. Besides, when the items come into play, it's usually when you need them.

in intense mode the items are important.

 

in reborn you can get 5 items before the first gym.

you get mining kit after the 3 gym.

items and Pokemon distribution are intended balance changes. Everything given to you, even in intense mode is all you need to succeed. 

Also I just want to reiterate that this is Rejuv, not Reborn. Different changes for different games.

[Magus543]

Yeah, items are nice but what we need is all given to us. They are a convenience not a life saver. 

 

Like Rejuv has a great selection of early game pokemon unlike Reborn's early game where you can only get certain ones in quests that's like a design difference i can appreciate.

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 :).

The Blacksteeple update though. First location I think besides Nymiera's house where we've seen a depiction of Xerneas.

Ooooh, you might be on to something there!

Well I am sure that in V13 we will be able to access the highest floors of the GBD Department Store where the good stuff is!

We understand it's balanced, and I don't complain that I don't have them it's just that if we look too much into it there are a lot of questions here that don't make sense like
"How daheck do you have a mega ring?!", "Where did you get a Leftovers?!" and "What? You have a Life Orb this early?! All I have are plates I had to mine for.."
OFC I understand that this is for the challenge sake and giving those to the player would make the game way too easy anyways, I am just eager to get my hands on those items tho' because for more that those intentions are for challenge sake, they aren't exactly fair when your opponent has end game held items and you're still holding Charcoal on your fire type

But just for the record, because of things like that I feel like Rejuv is better than Reborn tbh, I recently start playing Reborn to scratch that itch as I waited for V13 and it just makes me miss Rejuv even more, as for polish the only things I can imagine are cleaning some bugs like the Rift Garbodor soft-lock, the one that if you lose to him he somehow loses collision and your character phases through him and get stuck on a wall or the engine slowing down if you select to have battle effects on (that might be a problem in my end tho since my laptop SUCKS) but gameplay wise the only thing that comes to mind is wanting the Everstone to be a scripted event instead of just being lucky to find one mining a ore but that's a very minor thing.

Well the castle did belong to Nymiera before it was taken over. 

[Ibrex2000]

Yo guys. Ibrex here big fan of rejuvenation and reborn, am a Wattpad author just here wondering if I can write a story/novel version of the game with more fleshed out scenes like an anime, is that cool with you?(I'll also link this forum in the summary if it's needed)

That sounds like a nice idea but it sounds like it will get really difficult. It would probably be easier to just take whatever you need from playthroughs on YouTube.

Okay will do also, I've played through the entire v12 and written down the events so no big problem, I'll stop the novel where the story ends in v12 for now, I'll mention you guy and advertise  the game for those who want to play it, I'll keep you guys updated. thanks very much . link to my Wattpad page below

I think you can find everstone without mining but i vaguely remember it was pretty far in the game before you got your first everstone, if im not mistaken its in the darchlight cave

Yeah that's pretty far tho'..
Frankly that's one of the things I don't like about Rejuv.. You get Everstone and Destiny Knot quite far, IF you get lucky and mine an Everstone, after the 5th "gym" it's already possible to breed Pokemons with good IVs but you can only get back to Gaeren after finding Crawli at the abandoned lab, if I am not mistaken, since the captain of the ship always repeat the "We crashed into an island?!" line.. That's the ONLY thing I prefer in Reborn than in Rejuv, you can get the Destiny Knot and Everstone before the 4th gym but in every other aspect I prefer Rejuv, specially the story but like Jan said, these things are on purpose to make the game more challenging, whatever, still the best Pokemon fangame I ever played so far

It's too bad his pokemon will be as fainted as disco by the time we are done with him. 

 

EDIT: Also please tell me that Crawli's reactions to him are much more animated? That would be hilarious.

Not gonna lie mate the exp candies is pretty wack. You said '' Never worry about new members '' But you added the exp Share all. So wouldn't that make it useless?

No. They both serve different purposes and have their pros and cons. Exp Candies give a quick burst of exp to a single Pokemon. If you have enough, you can bring in a new teammate instantly, whereas with the Exp All there's still a grinding process. Exp All keeps your Pokemon at an equal level without having to constantly switch out. They pretty much work in conjunction with each other.
