Anyone else thinking about how the Grookey line will be busted with Grassy Terrain? I hope Jan finds a way to circumvent that.

 

Answered this question a couple of times before -- How terrain abilities and moves work will be changed in V13. Grassy, Psychic, Misty and Electric terrain/surge will no longer replace the field entirely and will work similarly to a trick room/magic room/weather overlay instead. The only times it will generate a complete field is if there's no other field effect active at the time.

I wonder what new Pokemon will be in the mystery egg.

[trogisfat]

dreepee might be also i think toxel could be and maybe hattena and impidimp

[Adam.]

I don't think that the dreepy line won't be in v13 to be caught 

[MhicKy]

I am just here wondering what are the new event pokemon added..
There are still plenty of pokemon in v12 that couldn't be caught because they are going to be event pokemon, some of the starters like Torchic and Chimchar are a good example of this and, well, Magikarp.

I am just excited to start catching again!

Tbh I think considering everything that has been happening and the size of the game, I don't think neither Reborn nor Rejuvenation have been in development too long lol

V13 has been in development since shortly after V12's release, so that's uh... well over 1 1/2 year by now, creeping closer to the 2 year mark even.

 

Granted the scope for V13 ended up being way bigger than expected (what with it turning out to be the biggest update to the game since V6) and there's been a ton of various outside influences causing delays (Gen 8 project, Covid, Jan falling sick for a while etc.), which is why the decision was made to split all the side content from the main update as a separate patch to lessen the workload for main release, and even with THAT put to the side for now everything turned out to be a lot more work than expected, so yyyyyyyyyyyeah uh. Even with all the delays, this version had so much work invovled that it would never end up being a short dev cycle in the first place.

 

This update's amount of content is basically multiple versions in one, there was and STILL is a lot left to be done, but the project never was truly at a standstill and just went incredibly slow for a long time due to stuff outside of our control.

 

We're finally getting close to the end of the dev cycle though if the status bars don't already suggest as much, so hopefully it's not going to be a very long wait anymore!!

Well I expected v13 to take too long even before I knew the update was going to be the biggest one just because of gen8 as a whole, I mean, you gotta make new sprites, code the new pokemons, add new moves and items, update old trainers and gyms, just by that alone I already knew this would take long anyway and then there's the fact that v13 will be as big as 3 updates..

Either way, can't wait to restart my savefile to check all the changes and new Pokemons!
Don't care a lick for Pokemon Arceus or the remakes of Pearl and Diamond, I just want v13 of Rejuv and v19 of Reborn.

To be fair, if it weren’t for Covid, V13 development would have sped up a bit, I guess. Thinking about V13 makes getting hopes up, of course. Once V13 is released, there will be the moment of truth if possible.

It's true since Jan actually got positive for covid in, I believe, the middle of 2020.. 
At this rate I feel like the game would actually be out if all this crap wasn't happening.. "The new normal".. What a depressing world.. I wanna go back to the 90s where my main concern was grades..

Dev Blog is at 90% soon

Preferably do it in a way that isn't just posting the percentage whenever it goes up in that case then bc otherwise I'll just lock the thread if it's not being used for proper discussion lmao

Can I ask if you would reconsider putting dynamax/dens on some parts of the game? I know that you already said that you won't put dynamaxing as a whole but like for the next update or something, I saw a romhack like Radical Red having Dynamax dens (the gmax were also made to megas so I thought it would work) which are okay and with your skills and talent you could probably make it into reality. I don't say that you must do what I said , I am just asking if there could be a chance that'll happen. Anyway thank you for the hardwork! Can't wait on V13

Ok sooooooo, not a rom hack, but a fangame as there are probably more essentiats, dynamax shall not implanted as Jan and Zumi have stated multiple times that they won't be adding anddddddd Jan confirmed some pokemon that can Dynamax will be having something similar to mega evolution.

[MhicKy]

Ugh.. Dynamax..
I am glad Jan and Zumi aren't adding the new mechanic but instead placing them as megas, I still don't get why GameFreak felt it was a good idea to remove the mega evolutions and z-moves to introduce this entirely new mechanic that is just a Frankenstein version of both.. I mean, creating things that gets scrapped in the next gen isn't something new but at least the previous scrapped mechanics weren't that impactful on the battle gameplay (like secret bases and the beauty contest).. Now we have these 2 battle mechanics that went completely useless after gen8.. (I am also bias since Mawile is my favorite and vanilla Mawile isn't competitive viable).

I am afraid to what kind of diabolical plans GameFreak has for the franchise in gen9..

Yeah I don't think you got the point of what I was saying. I know they already said that dynamax won't be a thing

 

I said if they could've reconsider putting dynamax not dynamaxing as a whole(just dynamax spots or dens exactly) on another version like v14/v15 or whatever. I didn't say Rejuvenation is a Romhack it is clearly a Fan Game made by Jan and the others, Radical Red is a Rom hack that made the dynamax spots so I thought they could've implemented it similarly on Rejuv because Radical Red also made their Gmax as Mega evolutions. I know essentials and romhacks aren't similar but I know how to make games, it would take a lot of time sure but I think they can make it because they made rejuv so amazing already. I am sorry if I am being a bother I just wanted a response from them if ever, I would gladly stop and never ask this stuff again.

Ah ok my bad. I didn't understand the question as it didn't seem clear. So ima give out Jan's signature answer. ":^)"

I hope I am not going to make you repeat your self if someone already asked you this but can we stack the effects? If I am fighting Nim or Puppet Master could I overlay a misty terrain and hit a Moonblast that deals damage on biblical proportions? And other moves/abilities/seeds that activate from both terrains?
