Pokemon Rejuvenation Get Started Guides — Download, Install & Setup
Everything you need to start playing Pokémon Rejuvenation V14: where to download the free game, how to install and update it on PC, how to run it on Android, which version you should be on, what mods are worth installing, and how the game compares to its sister fangame Pokémon Reborn.
What This Hub Covers
Pokémon Rejuvenation is a free, heavily story-driven fangame built with RPG Maker XP by Jan and the Rejuvenation Team. It has been in development for more than a decade, and the current release, V14, takes you through Chapters 1–16 of the main story in the Aevium region. Before you can explore Goldenwood Forest, battle Venam for the PoisonHeart badge, or chase Team Xen across the islands, you need to get the game running — and that is exactly what this hub is for.
Each card below leads to a dedicated guide that answers one cluster of real player questions, from Pokemon Rejuvenation download and installation to Pokemon Reborn vs Rejuvenation comparisons. Pick the page that matches what you are trying to do right now.

Also Worth Knowing
Pokémon Rejuvenation is completely free — you never need to pay for the game itself. It is not a ROM hack; it is an RPG Maker XP project, so emulators like Delta, GBA or NDS emulators cannot run it. The official download page also hosts a separate side game, Rejuvenation — Where Love Lies, which the team recommends playing after Chapter 12 of the main story. For story-focused players, our Story & World hub collects chapter, character and location guides, while the Guides hub covers walkthroughs, starters and gym battles once you are in the game.

Pokemon Rejuvenation Get Started FAQ
How do I download and install Pokemon Rejuvenation?
Visit the official download page and pick the build for your device: Windows, Mac or Linux for desktop PCs, or Kirin/JoiPlay for Android. Extract the archive, run the game executable, and you are ready. Full step-by-step instructions are in our Pokemon Rejuvenation download guide.
Can I play Pokemon Rejuvenation on my phone?
Yes — the official page offers Android builds for Kirin (officially recommended, significantly more stable) and JoiPlay. Expect engine-side quirks on both. There is no official iOS build; iPhone users can stream the PC version via Steam Link. See the Android guide for setup.
What is the current version of Pokemon Rejuvenation?
As of V14, the current release is V14, which contains Chapters 1–16, all Generation 9 Pokémon and ZA Mega Evolutions. V16 is announced as the final version of the game but has no release date yet. Details on the version history page.
Will updating Pokemon Rejuvenation delete my save?
Updates are normally safe, but the official advice is to back up your save folder first. Copy the save files to a separate location before you replace your game files with the V14 download — a backup protects hours of progress if anything goes wrong.
Should I play Pokemon Reborn or Rejuvenation first?
Both are free sister games from the Reborn Evolved community. Reborn is finished, darker and puzzle-heavy; Rejuvenation is bigger, friendlier (Casual mode) and still in development, with V14 out now and V16 planned as the final version. Read the full Reborn vs Rejuvenation comparison to decide.
