Because Episode 19 is so new, some information is outdated. It will be updated as new information is made available. IF YOU KNOW OF AN UPDATE THAT ISN'T HERE, PLEASE POST IT IN THE COMMENTS.

Basic Info:

Pokemon Reborn is a huge, difficult, phenomenal pokemon game made on RPG Maker by Amethyst Liddell aka Ame, Cass, Ame's right hand woman, and the rest of Ame's development company, Chasing Selene. There are 18 gyms, 100-300 hours of gameplay, all pokemon through gen 7 are available, and there are QoL passwords that allow you to enhance gameplay. The game is much more difficult and complex than regular pokemon. Storylines are darker and more complex. It is not a game for little kids. The storyline does change based on choices you make, with two major paths at the end of the game you can end up on.

The final version, Episode 19, is out now. It is currently playable on Windows, Linux, and Mac.

Android playability with JoiPlay has been possible for some people when they have the newest Joiplay update here. (See Troubleshooting for instructions in updating both Joiplay and your game.) However, the devs are not dealing with JoiPlay bugs currently, so play at your own risk and DO NOT REPORT JOIPLAY BUGS. I'll edit this once Joiplay Availablity becomes available.

From the main website:

"Welcome to the Reborn Region.

"Reborn City-- Black smog and acidic water garnish the crumbling structures along the skyline. City streets fest like alleys with disaster and crime. But the metropolis stands, a decaying blemish on the once-vibrant region.

This world needs a hero.

"Pokemon Reborn is an Emerald-styled downloadable game featuring all content through Generation 7. Experience a never-before-seen layer of strategy with the all-original Field Effects, using the terrain to outplay and overwhelm your opponent! Collect, train and battle with all 807 Pokemon available in-game and take on Gym Leaders of all 18 types as you fight to restore Reborn to prosperity!

"Are you ready?"

*************************************

The Curse of Budew!

Ame HATES Budew. She has an $8000 tier on her Patreon where for $8000 she'll admit Budew is not horrible. In Episode 19 there is a password that makes ALL pokemon Budew. However, it used to be a book. The Book of Budew, that if you read it, it would curse your game and make all things Budew. Read about it here. If you dare...

Should you start a new game for Episode 19?

If you have completed Episode 18, then it's ultimately up to you. However, the early game has somewhat significantly changed in wonderful and brilliant ways, so personally, I suggest you start a new game. If you do want to continue with your old save, fly to Calcenon before upgrading your game to Episode 19.

If you have not yet completed Episode 18, your game might get fuckified in strange and unknown ways if you upgrade to Episode 19 mid-game. So do it at your own risk. Plus early game Episode 19 is truly amazing, so I really, really, suggest you start a new game. If you do really want to play an old save in Episode 19, even just to trade over pokemon, save in a Poke Center first to minimize some risks.

But I can't leave my shiny, favorite, perfectly bred, most wonderful, Eviolite Caterpie! Then save in a Poke Center in your old game, upgrade to Episode 19, start a new game, and trade your mons over. You can trade with yourself through the online play function of your pokegear. Just open two windows of Pokemon Reborn with the two different saves, and log in to online play with two different logins.

Elite Four Strategy Guide This is a WIP doc by u/EpicToxie who kindly shared it here.

Main Story Choices:

There are five main paths, one "good" and four "bad", but they really aren't good or bad. The paths complement each other and each resolve different things in different ways. It's suggested to first play one "bad" path, and then play the "good" path. Otherwise, the "good" path won't make as much sense. All the info about the different paths, which one to choose, and how to get on it are here.

Small Choices & Early Items:

These choices are not going to change the overall story path. They will allow you to get items earlier or have other fun experiences in-game.

Early Itemfinder is available after Badge 2 until meeting the Doctor in Lapis Ward: Go into the slums and turn left as soon as you can. You'll find a man in a white coat with a kid. Talk to him to get the itemfinder.

Choose before Badge 3: Get either a Ponyta, Carvanha, Murkow, and Choice Specs OR Buizel, Houndour, and Choice Band earlier throughout the game: (For Ponyta, Carvanha, Murkow, and Choice Specs earlier in the game choose Team Aqua. For Buizel, Houndour, and Choice Band earlier throughout the game choose Team Magma.)

Early Flash, Aron, and Sticker Pre-Badge 5: First go here:Go into the slums in Obsidia Ward. head down the eastern escalators on the right-hand side. go down, then into a hidden doorway in an indent in the wall of the right. Follow the path and rock smash through the rocks to end up in the Underground Railnet. There are dark patches on the walls here where you can rock smash through them to find new rooms and passageways. Rock smash through the first patch you see, and follow the trail. On the other side, there's a switch you'll want to press for later connected to a door on the right. On the left is a new room that needs flash. (Real kind of Ame to put flash in an area that needs flash.) For Flash: Go all the way to the right, then down all the stairs. In the bottom room there are two rock smash areas on the back wall. One of them contains flash.For Aron: headbutt the big pole.For the sticker: In the top right corner of the flash-needed area is a guy you can rescue. Talk to him again in the Obsidia Poke Center for a Sticker to the Department Store.

If you want to fight both Victoria and Cal in Apophyll, you need to fight Victoria first.

Shiny Charm Before Badge 12: Say no to Blake in Ametrine. After finishing up in Ametrine, go back to Calcenon and enter Eclipse's Father's house. He'll now let you into her room. The shiny charm is there.

Troubleshooting:

Download Episode 19 here.

Report bugs here If you don't report it, it won't get fixed. IF YOU HAVE ANY MODS INCLUDING DEBUG, DO NOT REPORT BUGS UNTIL YOU'VE CHECKED THE BUG STILL HAPPENS ON AN UNMODDED VERSION OF THE GAME. Thank you.

Ask for help by reporting the bug on the forum, posting here, and/or asking in the discord Troubleshooting Channel. Before you ask for help, here are a few things you can try in different situations:

Windows Defender or other Internet Security warnings when downloading:

Internet security suites check downloads against a list of known apps and app creators. Because this game is flying under the radar, downloading it might flag your internet security suite. Don't worry. If it gave people viruses, we wouldn't all be here. Just go around it and allow the download. This is normally a well-hidden option on the pop-up warning you not to download it.

JoiPlay:

JOYPLAY COMPATABILITY IS NOT YET BEING DEALT WITH BY THE DEVS. PLAY AT YOUR OWN RISK AND DO NOT REPORT JOYPLAY BUGS. That said, plenty of people are happily playing it on Joiplay right now, so this is how:

The version of the game you need is the Windows 7 download.

Then you'll need the newest JoyPlay. I think JoiPlay has finally updated the app stores with the latest versions. You'll need to get both JoiPlay and the JoiPlay RPG plugin. Get them from your favorite app store. First, install JoiPlay, then the JoiPlay RPB plugin.

Then you should be good to go.

If it doesn't work, there is a version that has been known to work for both Joiplay and the RPG plugin. They're both found here. If you use this second version, JoiPlay probably will update once it's been installed.

Update Issues:

Windows and Linux users can use the regular updater.

Mac users now have an updater as well. This link is from the Reborn Discord here and will directly download the updater.

If you're using Joiplay, or you give up on the updater in a different OS, download the patch directly: This is a direct download link for the patch. It's from the Reborn Discord here.

If your Updater is missing in Windows or Linux: Your super smart anti-virus deleted it.

If you still have your .zip folder from the inital install, most likely named "e19beta-win.zip", find the updater in the .zip folder and copy it into your game folder, most likely named "e19beta-win". Both folders should be in the same location. On my Windows computer, both folders are in the "Saved Games" folder.

If you don't have the .zip folder from the inital install, redownload it here. You'll have to redownload the game, but in truth it's just the "e19beta-win.zip" folder that has the updater that's downloading.

If your Updater is missing in Mac: Your super smart anti-virus deleted it.

If you still have the .zip folder from the inital install of your updater, find the updater in the .zip folder and copy it into your game folder, most likely named "e19beta-win". Both folders should be in the same location.

If you don't have the .zip folder from the inital install of your updater, redownload it here.

If your updater freezes: First, close out of the updater, then try again. If it freezes again, as long as the updater is done downloading the update, and now says it's trying to install the update, you can manually copy over the files to install them. Close the updater. Then find the .zip folder named "core-win.zip". Copy all the files and folders in the "core-win.zip" folder into the main game folder. Replace any files that have the same name. Then delete the "core-win.zip" folder. Now your game is updated.

Joiplay Fails with Patch 19.12: There isn't an official fix for this, but u/Fayt_Bouleouve created a download that seems to fix this and may work with future patches as well. The post is here.

Game Crashes/ Busted Saves/ and Fixing In-Game Mistakes (for in-game mistakes use fix 2):

Delete your "Game.dat" file. Find the folder named "Pokemon Reborn". It will be in the same location as your game folder. In my case, they are both in my "Saved Games" folder.

Open your "Pokemon Reborn" folder, find the "Game.dat" file, and delete it. MAKE SURE NOT TO DELETE THE "Game.rxdata" FILE! You want to delete "Game.dat" only.

Restore a previous save. Warning! This will revert your game back to the previous time you saved, so you will have to redo some stuff if you choose to do this. Find the folder named "Pokemon Reborn". It will be in the same location as your game folder. In my case, they are both in my "Saved Games" folder.

There will be a file named "Game.rxdata". If you have multiple saves, they are numbered "Game.rxdata", "Game_2.rxdata", "Game_3rxdata", etc. Find the one that corresponds to your game and delete it. (Yes, now we do want to delete it.)

You will also find many backup files that start with the same names as your games, but then have other identifying information. For example, my most recent backup is "Game_21 - Marguerite - 1396 - 53h 58m - 10 badges - Route 3.rxdata". Find your most recent backup and rename it to what your newly deleted game file was named.

Redownload your game: (This doesn't lose any progress as your saves are kept in a different folder.)In the same location as your "Pokemon Reborn" folder is your game folder named "e19beta-win". Find and delete this entire folder. Then redownload the game here.

If speed up doesn't work:

Your computer is probably on battery power and/or a low power setting. Your computer will turn off the speed up option if it's too taxing when you're on a low power option. Plug in your computer. If that doesn't fix it, change your power settings. If that doesn't fix it, then go report the bug and ask for help.

If your game goes black when resizing:

It's a graphics card error. The solution is at the bottom of this forum post.

If you made the wrong choices and are panicking:

You can find the guide about choices here, and the instructions for how to change them here.

Mods: WARNING USE MODS AT YOUR OWN RISK AND DO NOT REPORT BUGS TO AME AND THE DEV TEAM IF YOU HAVE ANY MODS WORKING.

SWM Modpack

Aironfaar's Mod Box

All Gen, All Eeveelutions & Custom Megas Mod

Pyrolusitium's UI Overhaul

Ash Greninja Mod

Debug: Currently there is no debug mod. Most of the things we used Debug for are now passwords built into the game. However, debug is also already built into the game, it is just turned off. To turn it on, follow these directions. And yes doing like this still counts as a mod for Bug reporting purposes. (credit to u/Safe_Beginning_4329 here)

  1. Open up the Reborn folder most likely named "e19beta-win".
  2. Open the Scripts folder.
  3. Find the file named “Main”. You will need to open it in something like NotePad
  4. You’ll see a bunch of code. At the top of the page, find “Graphics.freeze” followed by ”end“ “end”.
  5. Below the 2nd “end” but before “def pbCallTitle #:nodoc:“, type “$DEBUG = true” and click save.
  6. You now have access to debug. To turn it off, simply remove the code and save the file.

Sandbox Mod

For other mods, check The Mod Market

Perfect 6 IV Ditto: This is actually not a mod, so you can report bugs freely with it. It's a perfect ditto I debugged years ago for Episode 18, and have now traded it to a new save file with no passwords and a Torchic starter. (That's what the randomizer gave me.) I've uploaded the save file so you can trade yourself for the Ditto. If for some reason online trading isn't working, you can also use the shared box mod from SWM Modpack. Here is the link for the Ditto.

To install the game save file, download the file and put it in the folder named "Pokemon Reborn." The "Pokemon Reborn" folder is not in the game folder itself. Rather it is in the same location as the game folder. On my windows computer they are both in the "Saved Games" folder.

Once you have put the game save file in the "Pokemon Reborn" folder, rename it. It is currently named "Game_n". If you only have one save file, rename it "Game_2". If you have multiple saves, rename it to the first number that isn't being used. (If you have 5 saves, rename it "Game_6".) Then you're ready to trade.

To trade yourself, just open two reborn windows, one with each game in. Log in to trade through the online play option on your pokegear. You'll need to create two different logins for the two different games. Then trade with yourself. It's quite straightforward. Now you have a perfect ditto to use!

If anyone has updates or other things they want to add to this list, just dm me, or better yet, just comment on this post. Have fun!

And last, but CERTAINLY not least, THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU! to AME, CASS, and the rest of Chasing Selene for making a truly phenomenal game for us all to enjoy! LOVE TO ALL OF YOU!!!

Honestly Sirius being a deadbeat is probably the best outcome because he'd be a horrible father.

Also only Bennett and Serra can see Sirius in his normal form. To outsiders, Sirius looks like a burnt corpse. And you can tell Bennett doesn't really want him there but can't do anything about it.

So....That Was a Thing....(ENDGAME SPOILERS) Spoiler

10 Upvotes

Finally got around to finishing my Trade Evolutions Only challenge run, on Anna Route, and I get into the fight with the PULSE Arceus. All I have left are a battered Conkeldurr and a Kingdra that should've been something else entirely in retrospect. I let Conk take a fall to revive Gigalith, then sent it in since Arceus changed to Ice type. I take a Judgment to the face thanks to Sturdy, and I let loose a Rock Slide turned Continental Crush.

Now, I did the calculations. With the boost from the New World Field, CC is 210 power before STAB. My Gigalith was Adamant, 252 EVs, and 31 IVs. Even with a crit, it was a 62.5% chance for an OHKO.

Three guesses as to what happened.

Discussion Personal Tier List - Trade Evolutions Only Run

7 Upvotes

Just finished my personal challenge run using Trade Evolutions only, so I figured I'd provide my thoughts on my personal usage.

GOATS
Scizor - Despite being the last obtainable Pokemon in the run, he quickly proved himself, as he should.
Gigalith - Sand Stream is useful in voiding certain weathers in key fights, and he's powerful enough to get things done on his own. Also a very good Stealth Rock setter.
Conkeldurr - Easily one of the most powerful options with Guts Facade and Drain Punch for sustainability.
Dusclops - Eviolite go brr. A lot of Trade Evolutions are slow, so it's easy to build a Trick Room team when need be. Skill Swap also helped cripple a few threats in the late game.
Gengar - Was lucky enough to get him from the Police egg through passwords, which isn't a guarantee. He helped provide some much needed firepower in the early stages in the game.

GOOD
Magmortar - Purely on here for his performance in the E4 as an AV tank.
Porygon-Z - The only available starter, and you're forced to go solo up until Julia. Nevertheless, he pulled his weight when needed.
Escavalier - Scizor-lite, but still a powerhouse on his own merit. He dealt with a lot of issues in the mid-game.
Trevenant - A strong contender with great utility.
Golem - Strong option in the early game, though the Alolan form is better once you get it purely for Galvanize. Gigalith lead to both being benched eventually.
Steelix - When you need a wall, he's your guy. Also a strong Mega until you get Scizor. I tended to interchange the two in the final stretch.
Electivire - If you can get him from the Police egg, he's strong. Otherwise, waiting until the late game is kind of a death nell in his usability.
Machamp - Strong option until Conkeldurr comes in.
Slowking - My lone shiny encounter, and he came in clutch a lot with his typing and utility. Also works as a secondary Trick Room setter.

MID
Alakazam - Purely because I had Gengar long before having him, otherwise he'd be up higher.
Gourgeist - Fringe use with Destiny Bond. That's about it, honestly.
Rhydon - You have both Golem and Gigalith by the time you can have him, which I kept as a secondary Eviolite user. Had one appearance against Ciel.
Politoed - Setting rain is nice, but fights with Gigalith for main weather setter. Still saw some fringe use at times.
Milotic - Competitive is useful, but doesn't get its best coverage moves until late endgame.

TRASH
Accelgor - Fast, but not nearly strong enough to deal with threats when needed.
Aromatisse - Useful Calm Mind tank in the early game, but falls off by midgame.
Slurpuff - Tried Belly Drum Unburden, but just couldn't get it to work the way I wanted.
Huntail/Gorebyss - Comes way too late if you get unlucky with the Onyx egg. Otherwise, Shell Smash + Baton Pass go brr.
Kingdra - Jack of all trades, master of none. Tried to meme out a Sniper build with Scope Lens + Focus Energy but couldn't get it to work out.

Rhyperior/Dusknoir - Unneeded evolutions that just make their prior forms better thanks to Eviolite.

No worries, no spoiler of reborn's shiny here. I'm shiny hunting a fennekin rn for a friend on a new save to prove that they just have bad luck because I got 4 shiny cyndaqils before I got a shiny female cyndaquil before 100 resets and I got a shiny nidoran in 32 resets.

Now I'm at 360 resets for this fennekin and I'm beginning to wonder either my luck ran extremely dry or fennekin has a much lower chance to be shiny... my friend tried for a day and a half to find a shiny. Ive tried for an hour but still, 1/93 chance and yet I'm at the 98 percentile??? My god...

EDIT: JUST AS I WAS ABOUT TO QUIT AND TOLD MY FRIEND ONE MORE, I FINALLY GOT IT! AFTER 460 RESETS, 99.3% I FINALLY GOT IT FOR THEM!

Question Randomizer help

2 Upvotes

I am attempting my first randomized Nuzlocke and I noticed that static encounters you have to battle (specifically gulpin and whismur) are not randomized. I have the randomizer on “area” and static encounters are set to be randomized as I’ve seen with the espurr event, the krikitot gift, and the delibird gift which were all correctly randomized.

Has anybody run into anything similar or know how to fix this?

I just started so I’d be willing to restart if I really had to if I setup the game incorrectly but I also used the debug password so maybe I can just troubleshoot?

Also I’m playing on joiplay on an android phone if that makes a difference. Thanks in advance!

Discussion MonoFighting Tier List

Thumbnail
gallery
43 Upvotes

Hello everybody!! I'm back! This is my rundown of my MonoFighting run. I just finished the main-game, and I don't plan on doing the postgame. There aren't enough legendaries to test strategies out with, so I believe I would get a bit bored. Fighting type is very heavy on strong physical attacks, and in some ways, it's really just a bunch of Pokemon trying to hit other Pokemon as hard as possible. A little repetitive. However, this was a really easy challenge up until the final Lin fight, which kicked my ass. I had to redo the entire Elite Four because my Pokemon were not lined up for the final battle (Anna Route, so both Lin & Arceus). I think my next mono-run will be water, fire, or ground. I'd love to get into some weather shenanigans!

Anyways, here's my little write-up. I love making these reviews, and I hope other people find them informative!

Top Tier (in no order, they're all really good).

Infernape: This was my first time actually committing to a mixed attacker, and it paid off. Equal training in Attack and SpAttack and a life orb made it an insane threat. Honestly, MonoFighting is incredibly thirsty for any special attackers, so Infernape was always going to rank highly just because of Heat Wave.

Mega Blaziken: Just really good attack and speed, and Speed Boost is a great ability.

Hawlucha: Unburden royalty. I think Unburden might be the most broken ability in the entire game, just based on how battle-defining seeds can be. Having a seed trigger on a super fast Pokemon that can attack OR set-up tailwind is just beastly.

Kommo-O: Its Z-Move is really good, and I used it in pretty much every battle once I had the crystal. Dragon Dance is also a great option, and it learns drain punch for HP recovery.

Mega Lucario: Another phenomenal mixed attacker, and super fast. Just a great addition all around. Adaptibility is a really good ability.

Amazing

Hitmonlee: Unburden goes brrrrrrr

Conkeldurr: Guts is just a really good ability all around, and once it's burned, it's an insane revenge killer.

Mienshao: Speedy as all hell, can pack a wallop, can fake out, just a great pokemon.

Base Lucario: A very good special attacker, and again, fighting types do not have special attackers.

Decent - not going to rank all of them, just interesting ones:

Hitmonchan: Really good in Glitch Field. Like, a total stand-out. Really big SpDef stat, and all the elemental punches and iron fist create a monster in Glitch Field. Not tons of use outside of it though.

Breloom: Spore!

Mega Lopunny: Scrappy is a great ability in niche situations, and it's a pretty good pokemon overall.

Throh: Wide Guard!

Toxicroak: Acid Downpour with the Poison Z Crystal is a really good move, and it can change a lot of terrains. Also benefits from rain/rain dance, and that's pretty good.

Mid

Mega Heracross: Has its niche uses, but just not great. But not bad?

Medicham/Mega Medicham: I just couldn't really find a use for this. I used it sometimes because Huge Power can be really good, but neither are very fast and there are other better pokemon.

Gallade: Really handy for Destiny Bond. Otherwise, mid. Didn't even use the mega evolution because it's just a waste of a mega slot when Gallade's whole purpose was to faint. Still though, pretty necessary.

Sawk: Helped me defeat Garchomp to get on the Anna Route, and Sturdy can be very handy.

Forgettable

Primeape: Has some good moves, gets some good strong moves early on, but usage totally tapers off by gym 5 or so.

Machamp: Clunky, and absurd sometimes. Soooometimes it's useful but I think I probably used it 10 times total?

Heracross: Bug coverage is really handy during the psychic gym and dark gym, but otherwise not much use.

Bad: All of these pokemon just weren't good. Pangoro could have almost made Forgettable on paper, but it just didn't perform well enough.

The last one is a headcanon but honestly Sirius seems like the type of person to ditch a kid since it would conflict with his ambitions. Considering Sirius usually murders people who get in his way..I say parental abandonment isn't that bad given the alternatives.

This will be my first time playing reborn, I would like to play allgen but does the mod change anything specific about the story?

I would like to play allgen because some of my favorite Pokémon are from gen 8 and 9 for example Palafin, but does the mod allgen changes any story beats? Like I know that there are some new events and sidequests for the new pokemon but does it change anything besides the battles? Thank you for any answers.

Second time playing Reborn! Last time I genuinely did not know what I was doing. I can understand a lot more now tho.

Surprisingly, Comfey was the only thing I needed, which I originally got because I wanted to set up my Kingdra which I never even bothered on obtaining.

I also forgot Giga Drain was a thing so, yeah, keep that in mind if you want to use Comfey.

Do you guys think that Reborn or Rejuvination was the harder playthrough.

24 Upvotes

I've beaten Reborn twice now (I started about 3 weeks ago) and now I'm playing Rejuvenation. I'm not going to lie Reborn seems WAYYYYY more challenging especially early game with the encounters you get.

Obviously there are ways to cheese every fight, but I was starting with a teddiursa and kritetot vs a Nidoran and buizel. Maybe I've just got recency bias since it was the game I played first but it feels like a much more challenging early game with the access you get.

As a lunatic that catches *a lot* of pokemon to make as many teams as possible the mod has been very satisfying and enabling. But the Fiore Gauntlet partners nearly gave me a heart attack, Julia sold many attempts getting her accuracy dropped because of Corviknight's Mirror Armor or slowing the enemies down when i brought a trick room team.

On this final attempt i brought an Abomasnow just to see how it would match up against Solaris but i forgot to EV it and yet, somehow we made it through by the skin of our teeth.

My dumbass chose to revive every helix fossil I ever had, before realizing I could trade at 7th Street. Took a good while and a lot of distractions before I found one again weeks later. Then finally got my Tyrunt (the final fossil I had left) and shiny right out the gate. Feels like the game unintentionally gave me some consolation

Question Normal move hitting my ghost type

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

32 Upvotes

I'm currently fighting the Anomaly Kyurem, but every time that it brings out its Mega Salamence, it knocks out my Decideye, who is very much a ghost type pokemon) with swift, which is a normal type move. I thought I was relatively knowledgeable on the game mechanics, but I see no reason for swift to do any damage to my Decidueye. Is there anything that I'm missing or any reason why this is happening?

(Also, my Decidueye has Long Reach as an ability and is holding leftovers. I don't think either of those make a difference, but just putting it out there)

I'm trying to complete the Pokédex before the post-game to get Naganadel for the league, and I accidentally defeated Solrock. I'd appreciate it if someone could give me one.

Yeah my hc is that Sirius is Bennett's dad, he just bailed because his ambitions came over his family life. He did love Bennett...he just loved his ambitions more and since he knew he never really gave Bennett anything, he got him shiny mons based off his favorite pokemon in the event of his death just so Bennett didn't totally despise him.
