INFO, GUIDES, CHOICES, TROUBLESHOOTING, MODS, AND MORE

Because Episode 19 is so new, some information is outdated.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 as a community-wide beta, with a planned public release in
May. 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.) However, the devs are not
dealing with JoiPlay bugs currently, so play at your own risk and DO NOT REPORT JOYPLAY
BUGS.

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.

Guides:
Many guides are found on the "Guides" channel on discord. In case people have a problem with
discord, I'm copying those guides here along with other guides. There there might be updates on the

Main Story Choices:

There are certain choices you must make to get on one story path or another. To get on the "Good"
or Anna Path, you must do ALL of these things. Otherwise, you'll end up on the "Bad"
or Lin Path. *NOTE These main story choices are credited to u/officialariacat here. I started a new
game with Episode 19, and cannot confirm that ALL of these are needed, however, it appears that they
are all needed to get on the good path. This is because apparently, the path splits more than we
previously thought. Even though you can get on the Rashiram path with only one of these choices,
and we thought that was the "Good" path with Zekrom being the "Bad" path, you still can miss the
"Good" ending on the Reshiram Path. Apparently, the way you know you've gotten the full "Good"
ending is if you have three battles against Lin (with the third only having one Pokémon) rather than
two at the very end of the main game.
After Badge 2 but BEFORE fighting the PULSE-Tangrowth in Rhodochrine Jungle: Find all of the
missing police officers.
After Badge 4 on Pyrous Mountain: Defeat Solaris’ Garchomp. Prepare for a lv 75 Garchomp. Many
people choose to use Prankster Murkrow with Perish Song. You can get it as an overworld in the
Aqua Gang Hideout when it's windy.
After Badge 5: Refuse to fight Sigmund at Yureyu HQ
After Badge 6: Choose to stop the Doctor instead of Sirius at Belrose Mansion.
After Badge 7: Side with Radomus at the top of the Citae Astrae and defeat Ditto-Arcus.
After Badge 12: in the Water Treatment Center: Refuse to fight Taka.
After Badge 14 in the Tourmaline Desert: Let Taka join you.
At the E4: Defeat the Champion and I think the fight that comes after the Champion on your first try
(you can soft-reset if you do lose and it will still count as a first try.)

Small Choices & Early Items:

EL-119: CAMPUS JOURNALISM 4

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. You do currently have to be a member of the forum to download it.
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.

EL-119: CAMPUS JOURNALISM 5

JoiPlay:
JOYPLAY COMPATABILITY IS NOT YET BEING DEALT WITH BY THE DEVS. PLAY AT
YOUR OWN RISK AND DO NOT REPORT JOYPLAY BUGS. You'll need the newest JoyPlay
update here. Download the latest version of JoiPlay and the RPG plugin. Download the APK and
install both of them. You may need to sign into JoiPlay. Then you'll be ready to play Reborn.
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 your Updater is gone in Windows orLinux: 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 gone 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.
Game Crashes & Fixing Mistakes (for mistakes move to 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.)

EL-119: CAMPUS JOURNALISM 6

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.

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
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.
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. Here's the link.
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.

EL-119: CAMPUS JOURNALISM 7

 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!!!
