Important Questions:

Cheat Engine / Editor:

Please refrain from talking usingcheating methods, unless it's being used to speed up the game (typically for grinding or breeding purposes) or to edit a certain Pokemon that will be usable for your specific challenge run (e.g. a starter for a Monotype that does not have any available Pokemon pre-Venam or a Mystery Egg Pokemon). I personally won't help you cheat.

Endings:

According to Jan, here will be a "normal" ending and a "special" ending, depending on what choices you made in-game, such as choosing to save a certain character or choosing who to give a certain item, defeating (or not defeating) certain optional bosses, and doing side-quests such as the Help Center quests. Doing the correct things will give you "Karma Points" (like a game variable rather than an actual Item), which serve no purpose as of version 12.

Patching:

To patch your game, simply install the most recent version of Rejuvenation, unzip it, install the most recent patch (as of v12, patch 12.2), unzip that, and then place the patch 10 folders into your copy of v12 and replace the v12 files. This will ensure you have the most bug-free experience while playing!

Save Files:

Rejuvenation has the option to have multiple save files, as well as autosave and backup saves! In case you get stuck, you can delete your current Game.rxdata and rename an older file to Game.rxdata. This way you'll be able to keep playing and prevent yourself from getting stuck again.

Minor Questions:

Current Generation:

Rejuvenation follows Gen 7 (SM)for learnsets, TMs, etc. as of version 12.

Difficulty Levels:

There are three different difficulty levels in Rejuvenation: Casual, Normal, and Intense. Casual is more akin to the normal Pokemon games (similar to Gen V-VI difficulty), with Trainers having less and lower leveled Pokemon. Normal is more akin to Reborn, with all Gym Leaders having six Pokemon. Intense is basically hard mode, with middle Gym Leaders even having Z-Moves and Legendary Pokemon. Feel free to change your difficulty mode in Gearen City, in the red and white circus tent!

Evolution Methods Specific to Rejuvenation:

Pikachu -> Alolan Raichu: Use Apophyll Pancakes on Pikachu or use a Thunderstone on Pikachu anywhere in the Goldenleaf or the Terajuma region.

Cubone -> Alolan Marowak: Level Cubone to level 28 in the nighttime in the Goldenleaf or the Terajuma region.

Exeggcute -> Alolan Exeggutor: Use a Leaf Stone on Exeggcute anywhere in the Goldenleaf or the Terajuma region.

Magneton -> Magnezone: Area unavailable.

Nosepass -> Probopass: Area unavailable.

Eevee -> Leafeon: Level Eevee up oncein the Secret Grove (near the mossy rock). This area is unlockable through a Kakori Town Help Center Quest.

Eevee -> Glaceon: Level Eevee up once near the icy rock.

Inkay -> Malamar: Rather than pressing the space bar, C, or Z (A button), press X (B button).

Crabrawler -> Crabominable: Level Crabrawler up once near the icy rock.

Charjabug -> Vikavolt: Level Charjabug up once anywhere in the Terajuma region.

Alolan Form -> Kantonian Form: Breeding an Alolan/Kantonian form will always result in a Kantonian form, with the exception of breeding an Alolan form, with the female or the non-Ditto holding a Destiny Knot, which will always result in an Alolan form.

Gourmet Treat/Rejuvenation-Specific Items:

While expensive (Gourmet Treat, purchase-able in almost any general mart) or rare (Rejuvenation-specific items), there are some Pokemon who won't do anything with you unless you bring them a Gourmet Treat/the correct Rejuvenation-specific item. They may take it or not, but in the end, the Pokemon will either join you or fight you, giving you the opportunity to catch it.

In-Game Time/Weather:

Morning, Day, and Night are determined by the time of your computer -if it's 8A.M. where you are now, it will be morning in-game. As for weather, certain places randomly may have a certain weather, shown both in the overworld and in battle, such as Rain in Gearen City. You may enter and leave these specific areas until you do get the weather you need.

Mega Evolution / Z-Crystals:

Unavailable right now, as we do not have a Mega Ring / a Z-Ring. Some of theseunusable stones are obtainable in-game, though.

Mystery Egg:

You can trade a Phantump Egg for a Mystery Egg in Route 3 during the day. This Egg will hatch into one of 18 very strong Pokemon (and there is at least one of each type/generation, so never fear, specialty runplayers!),some of which cannot be obtained in-gameby other means yet. They will definitely be available, though, for those who want to complete the Pokedex. However, you cannot soft reset to change what Pokemon you get, as it is pre-determined once you get your starter (although picking the same starter does not necessarily mean you will get the same Mystery Egg Pokemon). For now, you may trade Pokemon with other people using the Trading Threadprovided, and to those who are playing Monotypes but did not get a Pokemon of your type (or any challenge but did not get a Pokemon of your type, really - Monogens, Mono-colors, etc.), I'm sure if you ask around, someone with the capability towould be willing to help you out.

Nerfing/Buffing Leaders and Axing Pokemon:

If many people think that a Leader is too strong (or weak) or a Pokemon is too good for the part of game where it is at and therefore is overused, the Leader may be buffed/nerfed or the Pokemon may be axed (cut from the game) or moved, such as quite a few Pokemon from Version 2, including a mistake event Victini. However, just one person, no matter how vocal, will probably not be enough.

Pumpkaboo / Gourgeist Size:

While it isn't made clear in-game, the only Pumpkaboo and Gourgeist size available is the Super size, or XL.

Purifying "Ace" Shadow Pokemon:

Ace Shadow Pokemon, such as Shadow Beldum, requires Max Tempo in the PurifyChamberof the PC, meaning all the chambers must have Max Flow (which works just like it does in Pokemon XD: Gale of Darkness - you must have a perfect cycle of four in which a Pokemon would have a typing that would be advantageous offensively to the next).This is most easily done by putting 4 Normal types in each chamber. You can read about this in a book in Gearen City's MagnoliaLibrary.

Resources:

Jan has stated that all resources (besides the sprites for main characters) can be used (but you should definitely give him and all of the others who have helped credit!). I mean, you could potentially use the main characters' sprites, but he'd prefer if you didn't, as that would be considered stealing...

Trade Evolutions (Link Heart):

Rather than trading Pokemon, there is an Item called the Link Heart. You may use it on a Pokemon for it to evolve, if it needs to be traded in order to evolve (e.g. Machoke). If the Pokemon requires another item (e.g.Spritzee with a Sachet), have the Pokemonhold the itemand then use the Link Heart on it. Pokemon like Shelmet and Karrablast do not need to be traded for each other; just use a Link Heart on one to evolve!
