I want to try this out but I have an important question regarding sprites. Would there be a template for us to use just so we can try making custom sprites? 

Any of the sprites from rejuv can be used as a template.

[Cyphre]

Real question is, how many hours since last submitted Smogon team. 

[SoulN7]

People are submitting Smogon's teams? I hope they don't copy and paste literally.

[Cyphre]

Oh yeah, if you check requirements document with restrictions and such, i've been enjoying poor Judas fixing up the Smogon team counter for like 2 days by now. 

[SoulN7]

Oh. Wow. And I thought I was really bad to make a team to submit.

There has been 10 new submissions that we haven't gone over yet since last night, so you will find out when we check over them again. I pray for sanity that there are none.

I'm having trouble getting showdown to let me enter invalid items (2 seeds and a crest), it just resets them to the previous item as soon as leave the editing screen for that specific pokemon

can anyone assist with this?

Step 1: Use "Upload to Pokepaste" button on the Showdown. Copy your entire team's info in there. 
Step 2: Open clean Pokepaste page, it should have the menu from the Spoiler to the right. 
Step 3: Paste your previously copied team info into the clean page, now on this page you can freely write in any items like Seeds, Crests, Aevian forms e.t.c.

Rejuv legal movesets only.

I submitted a team with Gliscor and the Murkwater Surface before they were banned. Is that okay?

[ClaraTheCriminal]

Kind of wish you could submit more than one team, I've been having so many ideas

[Cyphre]

Same, i've been helping couple of my friends to make extras since they aren't that into theorycrafting and it's hard for them to go through the Fields, but it's not the same as your own. I understand why it is, because every community member need a chance to have his own team and having multiple from one person limits amount of people, but even so it would be nice to submit more. 

[SoulN7]

Same, despite I'm probably terribile. At least it's good to have a chance of seeing your team or others' in game through the community and test it with them without having to use mirror teams events or something.

[Dred]

The main reason it's limited to 1 per person is because we've had people submit up to 10+ teams. Not only would it be extremely unfair (since our goal is to have a max of 3 teams per field, but that isn't working out very well), but it also creates a LOT more work for me and the other devs, since we need to go through every team, evaluate it, make changes and recommendations, code and event it into the game, and test it. And with the current 100+ submissions, I feel that it would be more like 250+ if we allowed multiple from what I've seen in our modding thread tbh. 

[Cyphre]

As one of the people who submitted a bunch i apologize but it also was before it was specified you can do one, so i feel it kinda cancels itself. I feel like with now clearer rules it should be less of an issue. 

 

But yeah even with understanding of the reasons it feels like a shame since one team can only do and showcase only so much. Even within just one field i always had multiple ideas of what to play around and had to decide on one or two of them. 

 

 

[ClaraTheCriminal]

I'm just annoyed that the moment I submitted my Crystal Cavern team, the next time I check there's been 3 other teams submitted

To be fair crystal cavern is a fun field, sadly fields are not equal. No wonder no one want corrosive mist. 

 

 

[SoulN7]

To be fair, I didn't even expect Big Top to be that picked fastly enough, when I submitted, I checked the fields and there was nothing to it.

You're the opposite of me then. 

 

When I make a team for reborn/rejuv, I often just go into battle with Pokemon I like the most and proceed to face an uphill battle the entire fight. Making a team for this mod was the first time I ever really looked at how certain Pokemon interact with a field. I mostly just looked at a what the field could do and made a team that I think complimented separate aspects of it.

[Shadow Rysing]

is there a spreadsheet for the rejuv movepool? Cause I have a mon w/ effect, and I know it can learn a move through gen 8 TR, not sure for revuj

 

[ClaraTheCriminal]

which mon is it?

just search up "pokemon rejuvenation [pokemonname]" and there should a auto generated wiki page with its rejuv moveset

16/12/2023 Dev Blog

Welcome to our first Dev Blog for the mod!
It has been one week since we officially announced the mod, and opened team submissions, and, uh, boy was there a LOT more input, and submissions than we thought there would be.
So, paint this scenario in your head, we post the team submission thread, thinking that there would be maybe, I don't know, 20-40 submissions? Until one lovely Monday morning I wake up, take a look, and oh boy.

That is uh, not 40 submissions. What the hell.
So, it has been a long week of organizing, rating, contacting users about team changes, and deciding whos team is in, and whos is not.
I am happy to say that we have finished wave 1 of submissions, and in total, have accepted a total of 76 teams. Yikes, this is going to suck to put into the game, why did we do this?

So, anyways! You can find all of the accepted teams here!
Don't see your team here? Don't worry, you can submit another team on wave 2, which will be discussed a little later in the blog.
It was pretty difficult at times figuring out whos team we wanted to accept, as there were a lot of really good teams.
Also, fun fact! There were a total of 15 Big Top Field teams submitted, and we had to ban the field after day 2, nice job guys!

Okay, enough of team discussion, lets get onto the good stuff.

New additions to the Dev Team

Not only did we get a lot of people submitting their teams into the mod, but we also had a good hand full of people interested in contributing their skills as well.
Since the last post, we brought on 4 new spriters / artists!

IronicOmens
Candii
JohnZth
CeriseCrescent

If you see them around in chat, make sure to give them a warm welcome to the team.
Additionally, we will be showing off some of their custom Aevian forms that they have made for the mod in this post, and future blog posts.

We are still looking for Scripters and Map Developers, so if you are interested, shoot me a message on Discord.
If you are a spriter/artist that is interested, feel free to message me as well, however we are not actively looking for anymore at this time.

New Aevian Form Showcase

 

Alrighty, Aevian forms! We have more to showcase this week. Also, fun fact, with the team having 6 artists now, we are probably making more then 10 Aevian forms. It has kinda gone out of control.
But anyways, here they are!

 

Spoiler

Aevian Noibat / Noivern
Sprite by IronicOmens / Art/Design by Halcy
Meet Carl! The mascot of the mod

Dragon/Fairy Type

And with those new reveals, comes one more thing involving the forms.
We are letting you, the community, vote on our next Aevian form. Which will be a defensive Water-Type Aevian Pokemon.
You can cast your vote here!

Team Submission: Wave 2

 

For wave 2, we are only accepting the most creative teams this time, rather than the strongest ones.
This means teams should be taking full advantage of field effects on every team member.
Team effects will now be banned for Wave 2 submissions, and the only legendaries available are the ones that are not banned on the new Team Guidelines.

You can use some of the teams that we accepted in Wave 1 for reference when designing your team.

Wave 2 will last 1 week, and will be closed once the next Dev Blog is posted.

Submit your teams here.

_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Discord Server
 

As you can see at the top of the post, we now have a Discord server!
We have evolved from our single-chat thread in the Reborn Discord, and now have the privilege of having more then 1 text chat.
No longer will it be more chaotic than Rejuv-Gen!

In the server, we will be showcasing and announcing mod updates, helping with teambuilding, and sprite suggestions, as well as some other stuff not mentioned.
Feel free to join if you're interested!

_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

That's all for this weeks post! We hope you're satisfied with what we have revealed this week.
The next Dev Blog will go over Wave 2 teams, Aevian vote results, possible new forms and characters, and some other things.

Noooo you can't show me the perfect Aevian form and tell me it's off limits...!

Ah well. Guess I'll use Kalosian Noivern instead.
