I'll be honest.. I think GameFreak's G-Max addition was a mistake.. They should had just made those into megas (scaling the size down, OFC)..
I don't know why GameFreak feels the need to add more and more gimmicks to Pokemon in order to make it "good", some of these additions I liked (Mega Evolutions and regional forms in Alola and Galar) some I would rather GameFreak never made them (Z-Moves, Ultra Beasts and now G-Max).. If Jan opted to never add G-Max to the game I would be 100%, NAY, 200% fine with it.. It was obvious that GF did these just to capitalize on the success of Pokemon GO with the Raid Battles thing and now we have this mess to sort out.. So Jan's decision to make it the same way as Mega Evolutions is the best option really, either that or not add them at all since they could potentially screw with the flow of the game.. Just imagine.. How would they even work anyways?! So we can have 1 Mega, 1 Z-Move and 1 G-Max? Ugh..

But that's just how I feel about it..

in the context of swsh and how it's presented there, I actually like it. It provides a lot of hype and can be quite good in battle. I just don't really think it fits Rejuv.

@Jan
Yeah it would be awkward to add them as they are in Rejuv, but isn't the idea of making them their own megas also kinda complicated? I mean, you gotta "technically" create a fakemon since you gonna have to create the status, ability and remove their main thing, the special move since we already got Z-Moves and it would be weird to have a mega that could also do Z-Moves (unless you make them into exclusive moves like Pyro Ball for Cinderace or Mystic Fire for Delphox) but it does sound quite a bit of fun to have that freedom tho'

The reason I don't like them is, like I said, GameFreak could had made them into megas, creating a whole new mechanic like that when we already have one that everyone likes and would be a perfect fit seems weird to me.. (but then again.. We would technically have 3 mega Charizards)

Anyway wishing the best here, I know you guys gonna make something so amazing that it's gonna be 200% worth it to restart from scratch (again)

I had a dream last night that the first page said that the game is releasing in one day.

Unfortunately, twas just a dream : (

But either way, I know you guys need to take your time with this and I know it'll be worth the wait when you're done!

I'm with you. I compulsively check the dev blog of Reborn and Rejuvenation every day, and i think I'm starting to dream about the E19/V13 release >~<

Me too.. I don't have dreams or anything but I constantly keep checking that bar (still stuck at 41%) just hoping one day it'll be different.. But we gotta understand that V13 will be probably bigger than any other version we ever got so we gotta have patience

I had a dream a few days ago where v13 was out, so mood.

[MhicKy]

People be dreaming about V13 a lot.. I am jealous, I wish I could dream..
Anyway I was seeing Zumi's art and got a little inspired so I drew Swoobly my Swoobat, ain't he cute?!
(Had to lower the quality a little cuz of the max total size)

Spoiler

Maybe one day I might get in the level of Zumi but I doubt it.. I am already getting to middle age and time is something that is escaping me.. Being an adult sucks..

[Magus543]

Wonderful art, but i think you should put that on the fanworks page?

 

 

And hey, don't worry about your age, as long as you are happy with your life and still fighting that's a win.

 

 

Speaking of dreaming of V13, i had this weird one where Saki's gym was a casino and i kept losing at the slots.

Now that is a weird one..
Tho' I can imagine Saki in a Tuxedo holding a gun to your face asking "WHERE IS MAH MUNEH!?" after you get in debt for gambling too much..

I forgot we had a fanart tread.. Sorry :x

[Magus543]

Well Saki did say we owe her like a million dollars after she broke that wall. So i guess it's going to be relevant this Version? XD.

Man could you at least think before posting because all of the questions you asked on this thread come from nowhere and are not related to what we are talking. I understand you want to know new things about the new version but you'll have to wait. The only things that we ask the devs about are about QoL changes or Gen 8 changes  as of this version. Asking the devs about something only you like and excepting them to take into account what you're saying is really immature especially if you ask several times those questions

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 :).

Very late on commenting on this, but I can't wait to see how the wreckage of the S.S. Oceana  is going to look like in the next version if the introduction is going to be updated.

Wait a minute, I just noticed something. In the picture with Crabominable, your pokemon are level 85, meanwhile the enemy's pokemon are level 41. Also if I understood correctly that's in Blacksteeple castle (due to the background looking like it) and I don't know if this the battle with Neved, because Aleata's pokemon aren't in the picture.

TL;DR This picture is hella weird.

He probably just has a team for testing battles, as opposed to a team at that point in the game.

 

As for Aelita, she probably doesn't have dependency set (didn't partner up) because Jan skipped that event, meaning that he wouldn't be fighting with her.

I thought that was a testing battle, but eh I learned something new.

[Nexen57]

Last time we saw the characters from the Terajuma arc getting their artworks so who do you think will get them next time?

I place my bet on characters introduced in Chapter 9 and 10 so : Melia's maid design,Venam's new outfit, all of MC's second design (not sure about that one because it might be more tedious),Kanon,Erick,Florin,Flora,Erin,Alexandra,Anathea,Melia as a child and Anastasia.

Last time we got 9 characters so 11 doesn't seem to farfetch'd.

I'm pretty sure it's going to be the characters from kugearen city and ambrette town.

Honestly... We've already given a massive hint towards Saki's new appearance. Y'all are looking in the wrong place!

is it risa?

[SSJG Goku]

Not sure if this has been asked before but obviously the new Sw/Sh DLC is about to drop next month and then the part 2 in winter/fall. Are the new pokemon/items in this going to be implemented into the game in some way? I assume with the current game progress there may be time to add them or is it going to be for v14? 

 

Edit: Also will the Gen 8 starters be available from the beginning of Rejuvenation if we were to start a new game? I'd love to run through the game with a Cinderace!

Guys, GUYS!
There's an FAQ pinned at the top of the forum threads, before asking question check it out so the devs don't need to repeat themselves..

Anyway it was already asked.. By me!
And Zumi answered it in the FAQ, and I quote

"Q: Are you adding Gen 8.5 (DLC) mons in V13?

A: This entirely depend on whether V13 takes long enough to finish that the 2nd DLC pack also has come out by the time we can release. Otherwise, the mons will either be added in with a patch, or will get added in V14 instead. We haven't settled on the matter in that regard."

ANd yeah, the starters will be added to the lab along with all the others, I am picking Scorbunny too!

You should consider post your team in order to get that help. Perhaps an Echoed Voice can help you against Keta's Soul; did you catch Rockruf? Can you beat Novae and get an Eevee? Do you know how to breed and get a Glare on Servine? Do you have patience to get Rare Candies with Pick Up (Lillipup, Pachirisu and Meowth)? You don't seem to be getting the best of Rejuv. Man does it feels great to beat Madame X and see her recognizing the understimation (Huf.. Huf..)! It-is-worthy.

I trained a vivillon to 25 and beat keta now I'm stuck at marianette lol. I caught a blue colour herdier is that normal does he have pokerus? I took most of my team to 30 but damn I want to evolve my meditite. I currently have a scolipede, luxray, Frogadier, Fletchinder, vivilon and the evolved form of rockruf.

Like I said, Lilpup is in one of the buildings, I think the one near the bridge where you fight that guy asking for tools to pass, just talk to the woman who has it after going to Route1 and she will give you
You can't get Vivillon itself, you need to capture a Scatterbug and evolve it to Vivillon, which is easy since it evolves to it's final stage by Lv12, yes, they are in Route1 where you fought the Rift Gyarados, I know the place is closed up for now but you can just get one in the area before the park, where the Whismur is
I also used to not like Swoobat, I thought it's design dumb and all but he's actually pretty damn good and now a staple of my teams, he has an amazing speed and with the Ability Simple a Calm Mind basically works as both a Nasty Plot and a Amnesia at the same time, so if you're up against a Sp.Atk enemy that can't do super effects on it (at least not STAB) you can basically get one Calm Mind (maybe even 2) before sweeping everything with Psychic or Air Slash, also he evolves with friendship meaning you can get it's final form pretty fast with a little bit of patience
 

Oh.. OOOOOH!!! Now I'm excited!!! Thank you!!!

 

Aaah so that's what she meant when she said they fixed it?!
Niiice dude! Niiiice!!

I used swoobat in the old game I want to use some new ones this time around.

 

Is there anyway to battle old trainers again for grinding pokemon ? Also any idea how to get the different eevees ? I'm tired of using espeon in every playthrough.

First you shouldn't repost because if you do so the thread will become irreadable.

You have breeders in the game that have a team of 3 Audinos you can rebattle whenever you want. They are usually located near Pokemon Centers or a healing place.

And for the eevee issue you can breed your espeon with a ditto if Espeon is a male or with another male pokemon that shares the same egg group if your Eevee is a female.

There is also the Kimono girls quest(you can start it at the Rose theater) that'll give you as a reward another Eevee(throught this one will be special).

And if you don't want to use an Espeon but your Eevee evolves after a fight you can just cancel its evolution by pressing b(or whatever button you use to refuse/cancel something) during the process.

You can get Sylveon by leveling up a Eevee with high friendship and a fairy move in his moveset,Glaceon by leveling up near the frozen rock(which is found in the Evergreen Cave) and Leafeon by leveling up near the moss rock(which is found after clearing the quest "Building bridges" in Kakori Village)

[kyle3927]

so a unrelated question: Jan, are you recovered from covid? Since i readed you were infected, i'm worried about your health.

[narutoDkurosaki]

Can someone tell me how the 4th gym leader is using ghost attacks that are hitting normal type pokemon is it like a gym leader move or something?

[Node15]

If you read the Field Effects Manual Description for the Haunted Field it says "Ghost types can touch Normal Type Pokemon for super effective damage." if your concerned about this though don't worry since Flash will turn the field into a Holy Field allowing your Normal types to safely wall Narcissa's ghost attacks.
