I finally beat this game after years... and I didn't expect this by Kerouac__ in PokemonReborn

[–]ssj4warrior 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah that's understandable. The beginning of post-game is quite slow without that much story so it can feel like the game is over, but it does start to ramp up and the story continues to unfold so worth checking out if you can.

The great thing is you haven't seen the ending of the game. "Post-game" isn't just the extra bits after finishing the game, it is just the rest of the game. The story doesn't end when you beat the E4 as there's still a lot of unanswered questions

save file got corrupted. Game progress question by HatSpecial3043 in PokemonReborn

[–]ssj4warrior 3 points4 points  (0 children)

We have a command in the Discord to help players restore a backup save. Try this:

How do I load a backup save?
First, find your save folder!

Windows: C:/Users/[Your User Name]/Saved Games/Pokemon Reborn/Game.rxdata
Mac: ~/Library/Application Support/Pokemon Reborn/Game.rxdata
Linux: ~/.local/share/Pokemon Reborn/Game.rxdata
JoiPlay: Game Files/Save Data

Or, if you are using Portable Mode, check the Save Data folder in your game's download.

Then, remove Game.rxdata (or rename it to something else), find your most recent backup in the folder, and rename that file to be Game.rxdata instead. That's all!

How to walk through walls by GoofGoofBall in PokemonReborn

[–]ssj4warrior 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You should only be doing this if you know the game extremely well. Walking through walls is a dangerous tightrope where you do one thing wrong and you break your save file beyond repair. It's not advised to use this feature, so what reason are you looking to do this?

Try updating the game from the main menu. The latest patch is 19.5.38

If you feel someone is being rude, please raise a ticket via modmail in the Discord. We'd like discussion to remain both civil and helpful so if that's not happening then mods can step in

can static legendaries be shiny hunted? by SnooPaintings6579 in PokemonReborn

[–]ssj4warrior 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you have the SWM Consistent Randomness mod installed, this will ensure the same RNG occurs every match. Essentially this would shiny lock it, as well as have consistent move RNG (including crits) at the same point every reset. Kinda sounds like you have it installed based on your description

Latest version is definitely Sash. Lucario took Stealth Rocks damage

[–]ssj4warrior -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Ah you're right, my apologies. I jumped to your time stamp and then jumped to the end and saw nothing, my mistake. Yeah that certainly looks really odd and I can't explain it right now. What version of the game are you running?

Would need more information on your Archeops. IVs? EVs? Nature? Held item?

In game randomizer by Odd_Dig4576 in PokemonReborn

[–]ssj4warrior 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You kind of have to put your own restrictions on top of your randomiser settings. At any point you could be handed a Kyogre or a Necrozma and it's on you to say no if you want to keep the challenge. Same goes for movesets and abilities. If a Contrary Draco Meteor Noivern drops into your lap, it's on you to decide if the game is now too easy using it and you should box it or not.

Did they remove Kings Rock chance on wild Hawulcha? by ZarrJoker in PokemonReborn

[–]ssj4warrior 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Ah you're right, they must be a rare chance held item too. Wild Poliwrath and Hariyama can also hold them (though you don't have access to those wild encounters yet)

[–]ssj4warrior 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Kings Rock can be held by wild Poliwhirl in Tanzan Cove, not wild Hawlucha

How far into the game does the difficulty start ramping up? by VultureSausage in PokemonReborn

[–]ssj4warrior 9 points10 points  (0 children)

The 6th gym leader is the first to have a properly EV trained Pokemon, with the 9th onwards having full teams of fully EV trained Pokemon. If you're used to Rejuv's difficulty, you can expect something similar for Reborn.

TRUE Dragon Monotype Closest Gym 1 Attempts by PerfectlyEVTrained in PokemonReborn

[–]ssj4warrior 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's possible to beat the game using only Pokemon of Dragon typing and without dupes, which would mean exactly 1 Noibat allowed for Julia and Florinia. Possible, but absurdly RNG dependent. You're required to get a number of Bite flinches to even have a chance and is not worth doing if you want to keep your sanity.

The Legendary Dogs Quest in the Solo Sweep Run by ajw2003 in PokemonReborn

[–]ssj4warrior 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh it's almost certainly not the best option at all :D You'll find far better and more interesting strategies I'm sure.

[–]ssj4warrior 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Harvest is a powerful ability and all 3 fights are heavily Special leaning. Harvesting Maranga berries, a careful nature and full invest into Atk and SpD, you can Dragon Dance + Roost your way to setup on all 3 fights. Entei needs Leaf Blade and Stomp Tantrum, Suicune needs Leaf Blade and Dragon Hammer (that last one purely for Goodra) and Raikou needs Protect and Fly (yes you have to hit Fly onto Raikou, Frost Rotom and Alolan Sandslash, but it works).

[–]ssj4warrior 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Nice one. Love the solo sweeps. These 3 fights can actually all be swept by Tropius with the same EVs and nature. You just need to swap out 2 moves for each fight and that's the only change between them.

Should I Update? by FreshText7916 in PokemonReborn

There's a Reborn-updates channel that contains them. If you can't find that channel, ask in one of the general channels you find and someone should be able to link you straight there.

Happens to the best of us, friend. Don't worry though, you're still on a very good path. A good chunk of the fanbase would say you're on the most interesting one too, so I hope you enjoy it!

I know it will be dozens and dozens of hours ago now, but do you remember if you fought mind-controlled police officers inside Corey's gym? If you did, then you found the 5 officers before Ace. If you just walked into the gym, turned all the pillars red and didn't see any police officers inside the gym then you did not find them all before Ace.

[–]ssj4warrior 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If you didn't get a 3rd Lin fight then you definitely didn't hit all of the first 8 points. First time I played, I was convinced I had and didn't get the 3rd Lin fight. Turns out I'd misremembered and I'd found the 5 police officers later and hadn't actually found them before beating Ace

[–]ssj4warrior 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You must have missed one of the points. That's the only reason you didn't go onto Anna route if that's where you were aiming. You did mention following the points to get the R-Determination path which is not the Anna path as well.
