I wouldnt buy it if I knew I can use it without gym badge. Why would you offer to buy something if you even can use it? In game there is nothing which would give your that info. Stuff that replace HMs- so I wanted to surf and I bought with my AP points golden surfboard and after I spend points I realized I cant surf without gym badge. There should be option to choose what level gap you want when you start game. I get that game must be challenging but reborn is challenging without hard level cap. I should enjoy story not grinding for 7 hours. I spend 7 hours grinding to so I can beat sensei keta. That is in my opinion worse thing ever made in rom hack. You cant train pokemon without badges from gyms. After playing reborn I must say that I'm disapointed in pokemon rejuvenation and for me its worse fan made game I ever played
