Ele Posted October 22, 2020 Share Posted October 22, 2020 I lost my reborn save file and I thought "maybe I should wait for the next episode", at the time it was Episode 18, and when it did come out I didn't even play it. With that out of the way, I'm here to ask - Should I wait for episode 19 or play through the game as it is? or maybe I should wait for more information about the next episode? (and also one other reason might be the problem with gen 8 being added or not). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Launce Posted October 22, 2020 Share Posted October 22, 2020 Gen 8 will not be added in Ep 19. Also I'd go ahead and play the game now. It's still a long way aways from Ep. 19 being released as the new update is sorta on hold with the dev team spending their time on another project.

Zabre Posted October 22, 2020 Share Posted October 22, 2020 Ep 19 won't be out for a while ( i don't know how long until it came, probably fastest at 2021 or 2022 ) because they are making another game and drop the development of reborn. So, if you really enjoy playing it, then go ahead and play it again right now. If i'm at your situation, i would definitely replay it because i haven't come upon a fan games that is close to be as good as Pokemon reborn. But, if you don't really like it or don't have enough time to replay it, then just wait until you got more time or when ep 19 came out.

Jace3 Posted October 22, 2020 Share Posted October 22, 2020 And if you replay it, you could also do it as some kind of challenge, like a mono run which is really fun. I'd recommend it. I think you can't do anything wrong by replaying reborn. One of the best fan made games I've ever played. Or if you want to have more fun, there is a randomizer available.

Kenneth Posted October 22, 2020 Share Posted October 22, 2020 Wait for ep19. Other than the new episode content and the huge postgame content, there is going to be a ton of additions, like many more trainers to fight, both for insignificant and important battles. If you played older episodes like 16, you are going to get annoyed by certain gameplay alterations, like enemy trainers avoiding healing items, enemy pokemon using their weakest moves against you once your mon's health drops in orange and AI malfunctions, like constant purposeless switching at points. All those significantly drop the difficulty of the game, or alter the "experience" overall if you prefer. There are hints that AI is going to get polished even further, for ep19, for the better obviously. Also, in ep19, all moves will have proper animations, many of which lack one at present. And don't forget ironing out of bugs. Certain pokemon cannot learn legit moves from move trainers, a few pokemon have issues with their movesets and stuff like that... Which although small, leave a bitter aftertaste in general. Besides, if you 've already beaten the game at least once, there 's little else to do other than battling and trading and even that gets old fast!

mar_mar Posted October 22, 2020 Share Posted October 22, 2020 I think you should wait until ep.19 because you never know what it may be changed by then. If you're too eager to wait though, you can try it now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've played a bit of Episode 17 and I did find the AI a bit more lackluster compared to the previous episodes, but I don't mind it much. In terms of AI updates and such for the next episode, I intend to wait for a proper hard mode to be released since there was a hint of that being a feature in a future release post Episode 19. I wouldn't mind at all replay reborn again just for a hard mode playthrough. 2 hours ago, Jace3 said: And if you replay it, you could also do it as some kind of challenge, like a mono run which is really fun.

If hard mode doesn't become an official thing , I could do that since I haven't done a proper challenge in a pokemon game before! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Candy Posted October 23, 2020 Share Posted October 23, 2020 Umm I don't know if I were you I'd play now because we don't know when E19 is going to drop and you might forget about the game before you even get to play Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evi Crystal Posted October 23, 2020 Share Posted October 23, 2020 I have 2 files currently. A finished one and my other, after the Yureyu events. Yeah, better wait for E19 patiently, bc once it comes out and you play this from the beginning... It will be very hard, like Desolation does.

Silver Boy Posted October 23, 2020 Share Posted October 23, 2020 Actually, better to play it now, because i have a very bad feeling that delevopers just drop the Reborn in favor of Starlight Divide Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a bad sign, actually. When developers drop their game when it takes quite a bit of effort to complete it, there is nothing good in this. Maybe somebody have another point of view on this, but not me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lillietea Posted October 25, 2020 Share Posted October 25, 2020 Dunno, I think it won't hurt to replay reborn a couple of times, I've already replayed it, like, 5 times? Never gets old, cuz reborn has quite a replay value - all the quests to complete, mons to catch, story splits to find and experience, there are many different challanges, like other peoole said and it's good to refresh your memory of the story Plus sometimes there are slight changes of the old content in the new episodes, which also adds to replay value I'd also recommend playing/ replaying Rejuvenation and it's spin-off as well as Desolation Either way, E19 won't be released any time soon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShogokiX Posted October 25, 2020 Share Posted October 25, 2020 Well, it is no secret that the release of EP19 won't be for a while now. Unless Ame, Cass, and the rest of the dev team are pulling a prank on us, and suddenly shadow drop EP19 like Atlus shadow dropped Persona 4 on Steam. And i'd rather not bet on a Reborn shadow drop XD So you will definetely have a lot of time to do play through Reborn, or even Rejuvenation and Desolation, if you want to try these as well.
