Posted byu/[deleted]4 years ago Show Quick Question: Are the stories of rejuvenation and reborn related, unrelated, or are they like a sequel or a prequel? level 1 There are some cameos and references to Reborn in Rejuvenation, but nothing beyond that as far as I know. level 1 I’m a couple episodes behind on both, but there’s never been any kind of connection that I’ve seen level 2 Ok so just made by the same person? Thanks level 1 Some characters of reborn appears in rejuvenation like aya and Adrienne but as of now only sidequests Basically in rejuvenation, reborn is canon level 2 Like how you can find old gym leaders in ultra sun and moon? level 1 Unrelated, but rejuvenation seems to be set after adrienn's cleanup in reborn. level 2 Hmm I need to replay reborn since I don’t know what that means/ don’t remember Both Reborn and Rejuvenation are far harder than the main series, and very lore-rich games. But their overall...fantasy levels seem to be very different, as is how they handle the storyline. Reborn mostly takes place in a fairly grounded universe - if it wasn't for the pokemon, a lot of the stuff you see could easily happen in the real world, almost. Psychological issues are commonly brought up, and the storyline is fairly streamlined. There's no need to go "outside" and do sidequests to figure out all of what is happening. Spoiler the time travel aspects of things. Also, the plotline often travels outside the main story, because if I didn't do some of the Help Center Requests I would have no idea what is going on at several points (there's still plenty of times where I'm baffled). But the team of Rejuvenation is doing their best - each version is often more streamlined and clear. With that said, I would appreciate an official sidequest tracker or something... Overall, in Reborn it's not hard to figure out where to go. In Rejuvenation you can often be left clueless if you didn't tackle a sidequest. Also, this is just personal opinion, but the teams on Reborn seem to be overall more... fair, then the teams in Rejuvenation? Just personal opinion. The only gym leaders I remember being super hard were Charlotte and Adrienn. Which could be related to both of them fighting in doubles, actually. But Reborn is definitely easier than Rejuvenation unless you do Casual on the latter, in my mind (just personal opinion there). Neither of them is a bad game, but Reborn is more my style, personally.
And that comment was "boobs." Upon seeing this, I had a thought. that thought that went
something along the lines of "huh this sure is some interesting insight into the minds of the developers as they work and also my friends are pretty funny sometimes so it's a shame that these are lost to time after each update. I check this page pretty often by habit anyway, maybe I could record them somewhere!" And then, as time marched ever onwards for far longer than anyone predicted, I continued to repeatedly make mistakes with each passing update because sunk cost fallacy is a bitch, and now I have a word document that's almost 30 pages long and ~25000 characters containing basically 3 full years of updates! haha oops. Now that E19 is out It's finally time to share this mess, so hopefully at least one of you gets something out of this... (as some extra notes: for a fair amount of these there were also various progress bars up that're referenced but not recorded because this document would be far more insane if I had, but
occasionally I tried to include some extra notes to try provide a bit of context about bars/posts. I'll put these in *green*, like this message, assuming I can remember which parts were actually my notes) oh also dates will be in a nice sensible Day/Month format for all us non-americans. And now, without further ado, a very tired Dream presents: The dark times before history “so it is going to be my earnest goal to start updating this daily for real now even if there's no progress to speak of. and that's probably not going to happen right away so like please nag me if i go a couple days without or something, ok? Ty” “tbph figuring out how to divvy up the eventing and story for
victory road for this scoreboard is almost not worth the time it would take to math it out because it's very wimey-wibbly-wobby, so numerically the next month or two or howeverlong is just going to be a big bag of questionmarks and it's up to you all to deal with it. “eventually this will just be one big trail of quote blocks.” Recorded History: 29/3: “boobs.” 30/3: 1/4:

I am finally free from this prison of my own creation. Hey fun fact, did you know that when copying from word into the site editor, it apparently eats all text formatting like bold/italics or hyperlinks so you have to manually re-add them, seemingly yeets some linebreaks randomly, and won't copy&paste Emoji or Images so the former has to be added one by one with the editers searchbox for them, and the latter had to be re-screenshotted with
snipping tool to upload? At least there apparently isn't a character limit here, or it's unreasonably large enough to handle this. Ame I'm sorry for any time I made fun of you for accidentally posting a half-finished devblog post and then hiding it and suggested copying from another document... I didn't know..... though I still didn't accidentally post this til done In all seriousness though I did actually get a fair amount of enjoyment from creating this and looking back on @Amethyst&@andracass's stream of consciousness, I hope some of you did too. (bonus pic is my upload section for this post after the almost two hours putting this all together. I think the very first image may have been directed at me across time and space all along) What generation is Pokemon rejuvenation?Rejuvenation is a story driven generation 3 styled game. It features content all the way through Generation 8. Battle your way through countless trainers and rise to the top!
Is Pokemon rejuvenation completed?It's not finished, so keep that in mind!
How good is Pokemon rejuvenation?Rejuvenation is a really great game with somewhat annoying issues that get in the way of some of the game's enjoyment. However, the amount of polish, love, and genuine desire to write a compelling and enjoyable story more than make up for it in my eyes.
How long does it take to beat Pokemon rejuvenation?Alias:. |
