Awesome. 

 

I'll look into the torrent thing by this weekend, last time I failed. A bit too busy to do it today.

[Stars]

Took the opportunity to try this again now that I can play it without lag on my new laptop. I'm off to a nice water-themed start with Gilbert the Mudkip and Pierre the Magikarp.

 

A couple things I wanted to ask about/mention. During the intro, when Ame asks your gender, did previous builds show larger sprites of the boy and/or girl before you confirmed your choice? For some reason I thought I remembered that happening. And if not, consider it a suggestion.

Also, in that main building near the beginning where you get your starter, whenever an npc drags your character somewhere, your sprite continuously bumps into the npc and makes an obnoxious *thud* sound over and over. Seems like they're supposed to be walking at the same speed but aren't, or the player sprite is set to move before the npc is out of the way. Not a big problem, but it was rather distracting.

Episode 10 has been added to MonkeyPro.  You can use the link http://monkeypro.net...load.php?id=217 to use it as a mirror if you want, Amethyst.

[Amethyst]

@ Stars, both of those things have been fixed, thanks!

 

Anyway, HI! It's been a while. And guess what?

The first post has been updated with Episode 11's Release

A lot has changed!
If you're coming from a fresh Episode 10, this update features 6th Gen Pokemon, Fairies, New Protagonists, Field Effects, and a whole ton more! Check below for a full list of changes as listed in the Readme, but take care to note the important things (such as a note about updating, and controls) as listed on the game download page. Link is below the changelog





Notable Changes:

Spoiler

* The city music is currently in the process of being re-done (8/9)...
* Field Effects have been added to the game! Field effects are location-specific and can change the flow or power of battles in various ways. More on this below!
* The following abilities have been 'fixed', added, altered for sixth gen, or technically improved in some way:
Stance Change Protean Mega Launcher Pixilate Refrigerate
Aerilate Synchronize Moxie Magic Guard Mold Breaker
Competitive Gooey Magician Grass Pelt Fur Coat
* The following moves have been 'fixed', added, altered for sixth gen, or technically improved in some way:
Sucker Punch Sleep Powder Poison Powder Stun Spore Spore
Freeze Dry Flying Press Trick Room King's Shield Cotton Spore
* IV and EV Values can now be viewed by pressing the Z key in the Pokemon stat Summary screen.
* You can now press D to Quick-Save.
* Many new animations exist, however many animations are currently displaying in strange places.
* Accordingly, the IV and EV judges in the Lapis Ward have perished in a terrible accident involving liquid nitrogen, a banana, and one or more unfortunately-placed rubber duckletts.
* The game's text speed has been given illegal amounts of performance-enhancing steroids.
This may have adverse affects. Weak computers should save often until it's confirmed to be stable.
* Sleep now lasts a maximum of 3 turns (Gen 5/6 mech) -- formerly was 6 turns (Gen 3 mech)
* Status moves once again properly hit targets when attacks would otherwise be ineffective (i.e Confuse Ray against a Normal type)
This reverts a previous change which attempted to fix the interaction of status moves with Lightning Rod and other absorption abilities. As a result, that error has returned.
* The trainer card has (finally) been updated to make room for all 18 badges. Accordingly, full size badges are now being used.
Season 1 leaders' badges have been retired in favour of their season 2 counterparts' designs. The given names of the badges have not changed.
* A pass has been made at fixing the random Apophyll Beach crash. Did it work? We'll find out...
* The Ability Capsule and Assault Vest (partial) have been implemented.
* Julia's Gym has been redecorated, including a new Electric Arena. Her team has been adjusted to compensate.
* Radomus now has a new team, fights in doubles, and awards the Trick Room TM (previously Calm Mind).
* Rivals now only use potions available to the player at that time.
* Battles that can or must be lost no longer cause the player to lose money
* The Lower Peridot Ward has been adjusted to reduce lag. When updating, make sure you are not saved outside in that ward.
This has the side effect of resetting some trainers in the Ward. Bear with it, sorry.
#-------------------------------- 10.5 changes --------------------------------#

Vulpix Growlithe Arcanine Vibrava Flygon Eevee
Vaporeon Jolteon Flareon Espeon Umbreon Leafeon
Glaceon Zubat Golbat Crobat Ghastly Haunter
Gengar Elekid Electabuzz Electivire

* Back sprites have been updated to a Gen 5 style and unified. However, non-6th-gen shiny back sprites have not been updated.

Drizzle Snow Warning Drought Sand Stream Static
Water Absorb Oblivious Color Change Flash Fire Shield Dust
Suction Cups Sticky Hold Shadow Tag Arena Trap Effect Spore

Magnet Pull Cute Charm Pressure Hustle Vital Spirit
Unburden Sheer Force Stall Contrary Defiant

Fling Pursuit Transform Simple Beam

* Mega Evolution has been added (although not yet implemented in-game)

* A 'Large' screen size option has been added (however it seems to cause some issues, moving from Large mode into Full Screen mode)
* 6th gen Pokemon now exist~~~
* 6th gen starters have been added to the beginning of the game
* Soft-resetting for starters has been made easier

* Electric Types can no longer be paralyzed
* Ghost types can no longer be trapped
* Appropriate pokemon have received Gen 6 stat buffs
* FAIRIES!!!!!
* Steel type resistances have been updated
* Abilities, moves, types and stats of old Pokemon have been updated. However, Egg moves have not.
* A flower shop has been added to the Lapis Ward
* Several Pokesnax vendors have been added throughout the city. Many event Pokemon are now newly based around these (some other events have been changed too).
* Trainers and story battles have been updated to include Gen 6 Pokemon
* Florinia and Aya have had their overall power reduced. Aya has been given a new Ace. Serra now has a new team entirely and will fight in singles. Other leaders have changed slightly
* Several TMs can now be won as Arcade prizes
* Two new potential protagonists have been added to the game. Existing players may switch over to the new protagonists in the Grand Hall (top left). The option to switch will exist only until the E12 release.
* Teleport (and Fly) can no longer be used while riding a Tauros.
* HP bars now animate faster at higher levels.

As I mentioned in the massive changelog, we're also adding Field Effects to Reborn. What are those? This page has all the answers!



Our download page is right here!

[Xteven Xavier]

Do you think it would be possible to play on android phones? And if not in the current iteration do you think you could make it possible?

[Stars]

Try Neko RPGXP Player in the Play Store. I haven't tried it myself, but it should let you play Reborn from what I'm reading.

[Glaciermage]

Episode 11 has been added to MonkeyPro. Can't wait to play it, Amethyst!

[kspr]

@xteven- rmxp can publish to xbla, and can be played on a modded wii too. it supports usb controllers too, so idk if you can find an adapter, but thatd be way easier than adding controller interface with a touch screen.

[Xteven Xavier]

Yeah but the only electronic device I really even have ids my phone right now.

@stars: I know about that it's just that I seem to remember reborn having the play system already built in. I was just wondering if it had the bios for android on the program or even if thats possible.

[Amethyst]

There's no android support built in since RMXP basically pre-dates Android popularity. Conversions do exist and I haven't explored them in-depth, but to my knowledge, the script system Reborn is based off has been so-far incompatible with the existing android conversion thing. However, one of the developers of that original script system allegedly contacted them to work out a resolution. I haven't heard if that has produced any results yet.

[Xteven Xavier]

Oh, alright, will you make a show of it and blab to the world if you do get that set up.

[Amethyst]

Quite possibly! However, I think I'm going to wait until the game is actually complete before I go and start actively formatting it for other things. Otherwise that's just going to muck down development time.

[Xteven Xavier]

True enough and I suppose I a can wait till I get a computer again to play it, just sucks I'm gonna have to start from scratch.

[Amethyst]

E12 is up! And stuff! With things! And giant mallets!

[Monkeydog]

Soon I'll be unlazy enough to update this.

[Amethyst]

y0 wassup tho
 

 
 
IMPORTANT:
Before updating to Episode 13, make sure you are NOT saved outdoors in any of the following locations:

•  Reborn City
• Agate Circus
• Chrysolia Forest
• Rocky areas of Route 2 (Grassy areas are OK)

Aside from that, enjoy! The download link is below the changelist:

Is this new new? Because if not I updated it like a week ago.

[Amethyst]

Most recent upload was on the 12th :x It was just a re-patch for bug fixes, but eeeeeh. If you're feeling up to it it might be best to update once more, otherwise not a super big deal

Also our site URL is now http://www.pokemonreborn.com; any chance you could update the link from our game page? some stupid ad company bought our old domain...

[kspr]

how many other people work with you on this?

[Amethyst]

Whoops, I'm super bad at checking this... ah... I shouldn't state the obvious, right?

Until very recently it was entirely a solo project. As of the beta of E13 I have two other people helping me occasionally now.
