Advice for Reborn

[Pachirisu5]

Hi, I was hoping anyone could give me some advice for this game.

 

I've never played a fan-game before other then Insurgence and I want to try Reborn

 

Do you have any good tips and tricks without spoiling the game for me? ^-^

 

Thank you!! ^-^

here are two videos by Lord Wallace that I wish I watched before playing the game, also note that these pro tips hold true for other fan games on this site like Pokémon Desolation and Pokémon Rejuvenation

I would recommend being as thorough as you can and pay attention while playing. Some of your actions can affect how the story plays out, for better or for worse, as well as there being a ton of sidequests and special encounters which can help a lot in battles. Also it's good practice to save your game often, since it can be nice to be able to just go back to before a loss than to have to lose money and such.

Check spots that seem like dead ends, because there are hidden items in there and also check every nook and cranny of every place you ever been in, because some items can't be gotten back, because a area could be inaccessible forever. Also talk to everyone, because they could give you items or start quests, which could give you very useful items. I hope this helps.

Choose Fennekin with Magician ability and soft-reset until it has satisfactory stats. Early item hunting pays off extremely well (in starting area and near it, there is BlackSludge, SilkScarf, QuickClaw, BrightPowder, special encounter holding Sitrus Berry, etc). Get a Caterpie line with Compoundeyes and a Noibat with Frisk.

 

Spoil yourself beforehand, regarding events and special pokemon encounters, conditions (weather, time) and whatnot. That is a complex feature of the game, requires attention.

 

Early event pokemon should have Pickup (like Zigzagoon/Pachirisu). Go after pickup items, such as Choc Icecream, Pokesnax (mandatory for encounters etc). Early item-hunting and pickup utilization will get you a really nice boost here; don't forget to check gen7 held items chart and Reborn's unique pickup table for referrence! For pickup to work best, save game, fight one wild outside or a daily trainer battle in main hall and if you get nothing, reset and repeat.

 

Special event pokemon later on, have a small range of egg moves. Soft-reset until you get the one suited best for whatever it is you need it. Learn your fields well and combine the two. Example: Later on, at night, there is a special electrike. It can have Flame Burst, which is great because it both has a high Special attack and it sets fields ablaze; but it can also have crunch or ice fang instead of this great move.

 

When you progress far enough, you get a warning about being unable to return for a long time and the area changes. Stay where you are and finish EVERYTHING there is to the game content. Plus, prepare for hard battles ahead before going on. This might be the best time for breeding and designing a team.

 

Some leaders use tricky moves that will make it impossible to beat them and the pokemon launching them might have priority for a reason, even. For moments like those, moves with high priority and flinching exist (meowth learns one pretty early). To shut long term threats down.

 

Don't shy away from using recovery items, even spamming them. Remember to trade a lot and visit the lottery frequently! Max Revives and Full Restores are nothing to scoff at!

 

Pay close attention to the relationship guide! And note down the branching paths and different routes, plus the consequences of your choices!

 

If you need anything specific, just shout. And if you need a specific pokemon, use the forum section to ask for trade! Good luck!
