first for blood totem
dogshit game
first for Erin
So fetch quest time, at least it's an interesting location this time
So Melia is autistic, noted.
And some new team members, particularly Marill and Aevian Shroomish, it's time to replace Arbok, Mime and Clawitzer for the time being. Also this whole area is a bit hard on the eyes imo, the contrast between the water and the forest isn't right... normally an area like this would have some sort of shader to sell its atmosphere>RPGMaker plz understand
>>59493695it sure is
>>59489269Gonna continue my V13.5 monofire run, stopped at Carotos Mountain (lost motivation and didn't want to do another boring puzzle) so I'm not too far from most people here,.Also, it's crazy the amount of patches this game got since V14 release, current version is 14.0.20 which I assume is the 20th patch.
>>59493920It's not Rejuvenation without needing an emergency hotfix to patch a CTD that was left in because the game wasn't playtested properly despite having years to do so
>>59493700Too slow Erinfag
wake the FUCK up I have plans for you
>Power outage>bottom textYeah I'm gonna slep now.
Lunar Guardian from hit game Pokémon Wack not so tough after getting stallslopped to deathSince Aevian Paras(ect) has 2 lives it can always get a move off. Two of it plus a bag of revives solve any bossmon that doesn't heal too much
>>59493856Huh, they changed it. The reason why she only had shiny Pokémon used to be just "for some reason they seem to flock towards me", probably was supposed to be one of the archetypes side effects on earlier drafts iirc at some point she used to get another shiny in front of you and she said something like "it happened again...", I think it might have been with the egg Mimikyu?
>>59494406The Orevald curse has claimed it's next victim....
>>59494430he's just gone to feed his chickens bro
>>59494425>The reason why she only had shiny Pokémon used to be just "for some reason they seem to flock towards me", probably was supposed to be one of the archetypes side effects on earlier drafts>I think it might have been with the egg Mimikyu?correct
In fact I fail to see how double paras doesn't solve every singles fight periodAlas, all those cutscenes BROKE ME. I was gonna be the HERO who unfucks everything and saves everyone but at this point I am way past caring about anything that's happening
>>59494451HAHAHA
I guess that's only twice as good as regular revive spamming. Three paras?Now it makes sense to give a trainer thousands of full restores
I transformed into the Legendary Super Aryan but now that the cutscenes are (temporarily) over I'm green and have a sudden urge to put Breloom on my team
>>59494505Thoughts on the true dark typing and Corrupted Tyranitar-Mega?
>>59494443>almost quads
>>59494517Nothing a Breloom can't handle
>>59494523My fuarking HERO...
funny to think you can skip Neved's fight if you piss him off
>>59494570for contrast, here's his dialogue if you fight him
I really like Aevia's sprite holding onto her hat, it's cutethey buffed Melia a lot, I was able to get her to get a lot of KOs by supporting her with Helping Hand. FUCK that stupid fucking dragonite who didn't miss a single dual wingbeat and killed half of my teamdidn't think they'd show Griselda this early, makes more sense why she randomly appears to save your ass in the GDC on the latest chapter. her field buffs leech seed to deal x2 damage so I dealt a lot of chip damage every turn and didn't suffer much despite being at a typing disadvantage. the swallot was annoying though
after a quick trip to Tyluric Temple got the early (shiny) bagon with a free mega stone and a rowlett from the Dartreux sidequest
the scizor walling me and the overleveled scolipede outspeeding and oneshotting me made this fight harder than even Valor Mountain'sall that for a crest I'm sure no one here ever used. most crests are so boringnow that I'm done with all the sidequests it's time for Amber
AIEEEEEE
>>59494837>lost to Barney at 1% HPmy condolences
my HERO
>>59494894This is why Breloom is great to defeat edgelords.
>>59493567So many programming nerds here
>>59490884Heterosexual content of Venam and the MCNSFW content of ErinMelia getting torturedAnd the entire cast holding an israeli flag for shit and giggles, not a kike lover, but I just want to piss off Zumi since she would hate everything I just said
>>59495173>flagchudding
>>59495197of course this idea was in fact inspired by another red fire type
>>59495197You know what, that's a better idea, the entire cast wearing nazi uniforms. And the nigs should either be enslaved or raceswapped.
>>59495217if you fuck with Amber's tan I am going to re-enact terminator 2 spoilers.gif with you as the medicham
>>59495219Amber ain't a nig, she just spends a lot of time in the sun, she's fine
>>59495199that's not a fire type at all
>>59495231it's red enoughalso it's been 12 years since oras dropped

>>59495229It's true. Watermelon consumers don't care about music beyond degenerate gangsta rap and shitty techno remixes.
Cringiest /pol/ thread ever made
I'm Italian and Amber is whiter than me...
>>59495262this but Erin
>>59494430>Every /vp/ plays thread needs someone with constant power issues
>>59495490Seems to be a universal constant at this point. Finally woke up, time to boot Rejuv
Nice Shiny, alsoa small glimpse of the mons used throughout this LP until now (ignoring Pinsir and Ariados)
And finally Spore
>>59493920Time to continue the adventure, this puzzle is going to be very annoying.
Did any human in history ever have fun playing Rejuvenation?
>>59495691Had fun until the end of the Terrajuma arc, that's where things go downhill
All this puzzle for a Husuian Zorua, will be useless since I'm doing a monotype run.
Back to the main story.
>>59495691I'm having "fun" so far, except for some boss fights like Rift Garbodor or Giratina, besides that is pretty standard Pokémon, it's hard to fumble that>>59495737You also get the crest but yeah not useful in your particular case.also>power outageFantastic...

I dont care. I wont play a game without Green in it. We went on our Japan trip and had fun
>>59496197what the fuck is "report and ignore"
>>59496197>"NOOOO I CANT RUN MY MOUTH WITHOUT CONSEQUENCE! MAAHDSSS!"You fags belong on twitch and faggotcord.
>>59496197He was gone for almost 2 weeks, so there's at least one mod who is starting to take notice and ban him longer than 3 days.
>>59496231The jannies didn't ban us. We were gone on our Japan trip.
>>59496243Going on a "trip" right after your spam was deleted by mods. Yeah, we all knew you were on vacation. Everyone on the board was hoping it was going to be longer.
>>59496249Im glad you missed us.
>>59496197Thought it was some traumatized schizo but it's far worse than that unfortunately. At least the power is back, this whole section is basically a cutscene hallway tho
Green Essentials is the best waifu game ever.

Green!
>>59496370>this thread is fucked anyways so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯You can say that again
Yeah sorry lad, was good while it lasted
>>59496396it's not totally over yet (if it was I'd might as well just turn this into a showderp thread with all the weedleposting there would be)here have something to laugh at (specifically the trainwreck that is rejuv's switch labeling) in the meantimecourtesy of my unpaid internjust gonna brb and then i'll roll up some arbitrary dualtype for wack LP #465824
>>59496428Alright type 1Guess I'm picking Woot yet again

>>59496500>>59496504important rule: no realmons
>accidentally ended up black again
any game that doesn't let you do this ritual at the start of the game is sacrilegious at best>>59496511Yeah I guess that'll be the best way to make this interestingOtherwise it won't be much of a challenge because even weaker vanillamons are buffed in this game (and are more likely to have consistent access to TMs and such)
adjusted my UI style to match my dualtypea very very important step
Behold a very important bird, so important that it bent time and space to make me roll its evolution's type combo as my dualtypeName him
outsourced naming it to a friend because i just remembered why i told a lurker last month why these threads aren't nearly as interactive for people not playing games at the moment as they were 3-4 years agojust gotta do the other ritual of debug randomizing my trainer ID until I get repeating digits (or a funny number)
Leet
Alright let's finish this cutscene hallway
I'm honestly not sure what this is a reference to or if it's a reference at all, looks like some Limbus Company character i guess
I find this scene extra funny cuz if i COULD use my mons that Roserade is a good as dead against Salazzle, also>this shit is just DeltaruneFloringrave route included
And we have a pet eldritch horror (not for long)
>>59496618No one cares hypocriteschizo.
some save scumming to get an adamant woot with good HP/speed later>>59496611It's Deltarune.This is the first time I ever saw someone assume nu-ch10 was a reference to anything else.
Oh hey, a bit late but a ground type is always welcome
all those tabs and he still doesn't know what a grimer is
>>59496624Meant the character specifically but eh fair enough, this chapter might as well be named "DARK WORLD" or something if the Deltarune stuff wasn't obvious enough
Kanto is not real.>>59496627did you somehow not encounter a single one in amethyst caves
almost assumed my game was broken because i forgot i turned off the music via the f1 menu last time i played wack award>captcha: star of davidforeshadowing
I love my wife Green!
oh heyit's the only male rival in any fangames i've played that isn't a cuck, pushover, asshole, or degenerate
barely won this thanks to both of the times i'll ever use growl this entire playthrough
I can't really take this part seriously man, i get the moment is meant to be tragic and all of that but:1) Florin and Flora are optional in Terajuma so might as well not care about these 2.2) Flora is top 3 unlikeable bitch of the whole rejuv cast on top of being a terrorist3) this whole segment where they try to kill each other happens in like 10 minutes (accounting Floringrave shenanigans that really feel like a reference without substance)I would probably cut these 2 altogether or make the Terajuma stuff obligatory (and even then i doubt i could take this seriously lmao)

>wobbuffet clonenot fightin allat
Fights are getting a little bullshit at this point (super fast mega metagross on a field bult for it, shielded boss gothielle that petrifies on switch in, etc) so I'm bringing out the donphan, parasects, cosmic power metagross, and item spam. I'd say pseudos too but I've been crutching on Aevian Kommo-o for a while >>59496646You're not grabbing Stando and other mons hidden around wack town? They could be the right types!
bird name this one, i'll catch another as there's a trade for what i'm pretty sure is a flying type in this area>>59496762i wanna try to use mons I haven't used much before (woot's the exception because it'd be weird if I didn't use woot if available)and yeah fuck crescent, she makes melia's constant glazing (at least before karma files which is when rejuv jumps multiple sharks) look minor in comparison
>>59496611>>59496624I just assumed our character wanted to look like a mobster but I didn't know there was a reference behind that (never played Deltarune and never will, not my type of game).
I've actually been doing a playthrough of rejuv for the first time, nice to see it has a /vp/ presenceIts been quite fun so far, and it was nice to see a game that was so heavily glazed actually live up to the hype for once. That said I'm getting into a really annoying stretch of the game that seems like its going to last for a while
Random optional 6v12, shit like this is what I've been dreading ever Reborn glass gauntlet so this time I was prepared. Tailwind, sun, eruptions and earthquakes, worked like a charm.>>59496768Stando forms are basically all different mons with separate movesets iirc
>>59496783Where are you in the game right now ? I decided to get back into the game today and continue my old save.
BRB dinner + mild power outage because it's fucking hailing during a thunderstormin Augustin a temperate part of the USand there's fogthe end is nigh
>>59496787I recently got to GDC in ch10 or I think 11 now
>>59496800Yeah, GDC is one of my least favorite parts of the game. You're going to stay here for 2-3 whole chapters.
>>59496806It seems like a neat part of the game, I haven't disliked it so far. I don't really like the city itself but its probably because I just haven't learned the layout yet.My main issue is mostly that getting here cucked me out of going back to the previous locations. And then finally gave me the strength HM I've been waiting for to backtrack and explore stuff, but now can't.Since its already a story-heavy game I've liked to give myself breaks from the story by doing exploring or breeding autism But now that I'm 'stuck' here I'm basically forced to push the story since I've already explored what little I can of these new surrounding areas.
>>59496820You will need to complete Chapter 13 before being able to go back, you will get HM fly at the end of this chapter and and you can move around freely afterwards.
This was a bossrush of 3 boss mons in a row (separate fights with no healing), but Metagross hiding behind OC protagonist screen and Cosmic Powers let me heal up in battle. I got through Reborn with noitems password active, doubt I could manage it in Rejuv>>59496806Same. Since gettting to GDC I've noticed a large increase in cutscene density and far less Pokémon-related content
>>59496806>>59496820>>59496830>>59496836this is why I've said my playthrough attempts don't make it past act 1GDC is cutscene and mapping hell with maybe three total appearances of characters i care about
>>59496830Yeah I did a bit of googling last night and stumbled onto that realization. Sucks it was at a point in the game I wanted to take a break from the story to do breed a bunch of mons and do some other shit, but it is what it is. I'm 99% sure I found a new breeder in GCD too so I could still do it I'm just been stubborn/salty about getting locked out of the old parts of the map.>>59496848its not so bad on a first playthrough at least, but I could see how it would be annoying af on subsequent runs.
>>59496820The more you go the more story dumping with no breaks you're going to receive, btw
>>59496611I'm unfortunately a Limbusfag and I can assure you it isn't a Limbus reference. I don't think that one's referring to anything at all, to be honest. the only reference is Aevis whose sprite is literally just Kris from Deltarune, the other mcs have normal sprites that match their personalities like Axel being a clown
>>59496953>The white man gets to be the deltatroon Lmao
Power's stable enough (went out after I asked for a name for this >>59496768 but no one responded with a name)Traded the quailnote and got this thingBtw parental bond is a little busted in this game as both hits deal full damage instead of the second hit doing 1.25x/1.5x damage
finally an attacking move for KILLMURDER>>59496979Accidentally left a space at the end of my tripcode password
>catch one of the bats in beta cave>it evolves into zubatohcan't use this then
>>59496953I see...Rn fighting Florin and:>Florin uses glass cannonsThat's a lie bitch, first 2 mons are Cradily and Ludicolo>le field also boosts grass moves and makes poison deal neutral damage against grassGreat...>oh btw there's perma rainOh fuck off... in any other circumstance Florin's team would get annihilated by Magma Drift/Sludge Wave easily
>>59496997>>oh btw there's perma rainthat's why it's always good to get a pokémon with any way to change fields/weather in games like thesedrought and drizzle are really good abilities to invalidate strategies that rely on weather as to not get oneshot'd
>>59496997>in any other circumstance Florin's team would get annihilated by Magma Driftconsider the following
>>59497002Guess I'll need a Torkoal or something fast enough to pull a Sunny Day before dying
>>59497007>This field will transform into Forest Fieldif the move Purify is used.Death cucumber nows your time to shine again
>>59497026good luck getting a purify off before Florin kills it innards out is a funny ability so it's at least gonna help even in death
>>59497030I do have Fake Out on Mr.Mime but yeah in hindsight Pyukumuku will die before doing anything... i think i can use it to bait the ai tho so that's nice
>>59496992Decided I'll treat myself to 1 wonder trade per badge (skipping over out of type mons, vanilla mons, or stuff I feel would be way too strong to have at the moment because I saw that sign in clover that said you're a loser if you're carried by a wonder trade mon)>>59497026on one hand it makes pyukumuku actually have a usebut on the other hand if your game has a situation where people seriously consider an otherwise bad and absolutely not self sufficient pokemon just to get by then something has gone wrong somewherewell multiple things have gone wrong; both when it comes to balancing an otherwise useless option and when it comes to balancing a situation that said otherwise useless option is suddenly very useful forthough as >>59497030 suggests for this case you'd probably be better off bringing a drought user
this TM might be useful if you're using flying types
was expecting to have a bit more mons that could learn aerial ace
time to takethe challenge
>>59496997>>59497007>get this specific pokemon that changes this specific field and trivializes the fight>or go and fuck yourselfits so boring when those are my two options though
i think it might have to do with disc-one nuke #3373>142 HP>75 Atk>60 Def>55 SpA>110 SpD>80 SpE>522 BST; also has parental bond that might as well be huge power + serene grace + vast knowledge (special huge power) combinedthis only requires catching a pretty common earlygame mon btwi think i'll save this crutch for later>>59497056as I often say95% of rejuv's difficulty comes from the fields
one of the mods in the wack modpack i'm using puts a pro nuzlocker under the player's bed
I forgot i got this guy, maybe it's useful but for now I'll try with my current team then try swapping members
>>59497026>changer to forest field>still boosts grass types >still rainsI wouldn't bother >>59497056there is more than one drought/snow warning/sand stream mon
>>59497060>>59497034hard to tell what mons these are with nicknames and wack's humongous dex
>>59497084here's my current 3
I'm like 50 hours in and I still never interacted with a shadow pokemon beyond catching them and keeping them in PC. Have I been fucking up
and so the wicked fire witch is deadfirst time serperior doesn't get to do much since it couldn't setup without getting walled by the skeledirge and toxicitry, or outsped and killed by blaziken, but it still helped sceptile kill the stupid toxicitryI NEED stealth rocks for my new cradily but I'm forced to wait until Kingdom of Goomidra before I can get it>>59497099not really, most of them are pretty shit and the special moves they get aren't all that good. doesn't help that they come with set EVs rounded in every stat so you're kind of forced to wait until you get EV berries to make them usable most of the times
>>59497099not reallyWith Strength you can get a shadow Beldum from a special den but it's not like the added move is why it's good
>>59497076there are more by the time all the options open up to the playerbut its like how many are available by the time you get to each respective gym/rift/etc, and your options are much more limited
>>59497104:(>shadow pokemonwould be nice if the ones that are worth using in the first place don't require waiting extremely late (possibly later than when they'd be decent, even with whatever good moves they get) or a NG+ playthroughthough just like crests, the only pokemon you're allowed to get shadow versions of are ones that aren't worth using anyways (unless you're doing a monotype but that's asking for trouble in rejuv)and i'll be honest I have NEVER used a shadow pokemon before purifying it because they're all horribly underleveled (which just makes catching them via weakening them first harder because you'll risk killing them with even weak attacks)

first gym time>>59497136>sowwy but she IS a bitch (until she gets to know you at least)that's the entire point of tsunderesrough early on but very sweet once they finally warm up(totally a coincidence that 3 of my top 10 favorite mons take significantly longer to evolve than usual)>crestsi'm probably gonna exclude crests from the "guaranteed to be spared from the inevitable balancing demanded dexcut" list because it seems like every single shitmon gets a crest (EXCEPT FOR THE ONES I ACTUALLY LIKE BECAUSE JAN IS A NIGGER) and a lot of the crests don't even seem that useful in practice, or at least they don't seem useful enough to go out of the way for just from reading the descriptionalso they take up an item slotthe only crest I used in my v14 playthrough was the zoroark crest because it came with a mon that's actually decent (hisuian zoroark) and had an actually useful effect (copies the disguise mon's STAB bonuses and ability)>I don't think you're supposed to, they're super slow and weak even when they have x2 damage on all moves against all types. plus, there's always a chance they go hyper mode after any attack and start hurting themselvesmay be a result of shadow mons being an afterthoughtI never had a gamecube (nor do I have an emulator for one) so I can't fully speak on this but iirc in the original games where shadowmons were usable, they were at least far closer in level to what you'd be facing when you can get them, and iirc enemy EVs weren't a significant thing in the main campaign so they wouldn't have the disadvantage of significantly missing EVs compared to opponents and your veteran party members
woot soloed thanks to 2 lucky wood hit flinches, the AI switching out and letting my woot get off a free attack, and wasting its turns and potions on healingto the point where my woot only took one hit the entire fight
now my woot evolved into a bigger and more important bird
hello cro
>bold nature on a physical attackergoodbye crointo wondertrade it goes andwell I'd appreciate this if I could use it
found an aevian veluza after backtracking and getting the stabilizer. never heard anyone ever say anything about it so I'm gonna assume it's just trashtime for Shayda's bullshit and having to think what I'm gonna spend my shards on>>59497159hi croI like how he just levitates for no reason>>59497163noooooooooobye crow
Damn if only i could click Shell Smash twice without Crustle dying i would stand a chance, +2 Rock Slide with Helping Hand pretty much sweeps Florin's whole team but Mr.Mime is made out of paper and even with +2 speed Ludicolo still outspeeds. I'll probably clear it tomorrow, need to sleep
>>59497149I thought crests were one of Jan's very few good ideas. Giving useless shitmons some way to keep up with better pokemon is good. I use Crest Bastiodon and he trivializes most battles because he will not die. That motherfucker will sit his fat ass on the field and make opponents kill themselves if they attack it. Biggest middle finger I ever gave to bullshit bosses. It's never leaving my team. Yes I am glazing it. No I don't care.

and here is a cro with a not detrimental nature>>59497173They're good in idea but in execution the vast majority are mid or just not worth the effort to grab when getting better mons is more convenientFor every actually good crest like Bastiodon's there's at least a dozen filler ones that don't actually make the mon worth seriously using over other options, in a game that definitely does NOT have forgiving difficulty

>>59497206Show yourself Jan we know it's you. You tried to hide your identity but you failed.
>>59497185>my approach to them has always been sleep/toxic/other DoTs>stalling is your best strategy against themthat's the problem; not every team is likely to run those (and some bosses you won't have advance warning of what statuses they're immune to, or if they'll have a way to remove volatile/non-volatile statuses without trial and error/a guide)and even without smashing your face against a brick wall, losing in essentials fangames is painfulwho gives a shit about the game over message when the real issue is how fucking ass the menus are to navigate if you need to make a lot of party changes in a short period of timethis isn't pokemon showdown where you can use your cursor and keyboard at the same time in a large window and look up options for a given slot and just click those to build/edit your teamand i'm not talking minor adjustments like swapping out a move or several or switching party order/bringing in mons from the boxbut complete team rebuilds because a boss demands you build a team specifically to counter iteven with what QoL features the game has (relearner menu accessible from inventory (provided you go to a not very quick to reach spot in a possibly far away location where you first need to find an out of the way NPC then offer said NPC 3 inconvenient to grind in bulk heart scales per mon just to access the relearner anywhere), uuuuh that's basically it regarding teambuilding QoL that doesn't require being able to backtrack to specific NPCs/vendors) just navigating the menus takes timethat's another thing - in showdown you can edit your entire party from one menuwhereas in essentials fangames you have to juggle the main pause menu, the party screen, individual mons' summaries, the bag, the PC, etcthe point i'm making is; bosses aren't fun to fight or teambuild for and they shit all over the game's flow just to waste the player's time with losing to the developer's heckin epic OC bosses with 4 trillion trial and error mechanics
>>59497210That kind of fight only works if it's literally the final boss of the entire game.
>>59497209goddamnit I was waiting to see if I'd get an opportunity to hand out the "prestigious" baited nobeidore award>>59497212truethe problem here is that it's not a "literally the final boss of the entire game" thingbut a "more than once a chapter on average" thing

Is this friendship/reputation system important or mostly just flavor? do I get bricked out of wifing the best girls if I don't save and reload before each dialogue to select the best option?
>>59497238:3>>59497241for Rejuvenation? not really, as long as you aren't a complete asshole and do sidequests you're always going to get a shit ton of relationship points. they added "secret" scenes now that require you to have X+ amount of relationship points with characters but they seem very lax and should be available so long as you aren't being an asshole on purpose (aka Renegade route)for Reborn? kinda but only for the post game, you aren't getting all of the possible companions for the postgame since their requirements are pretty steep or conflict with others so you should probably focus on the few you really like
important advice to avoid getting ran over and forced into shittily written isekai stories>>59497241it's pretty much just for flavor, I doubt anything's significantly affected by relationship values so unless you want to squeeze out some extra renegade route requirement points but that requires going out of your way to piss people off to count for it>>59497247 mentioned secret scenes but I don't think those have any gameplay impact, and also "you're always going to get a shit ton of relationship points" is worth mentioning because there are relatively few dialog options that involve actually choosing between who you want to like you more; most relationship point impacting choices only involve a single character so there's not much reason to not just pick the one that makes them like you the most>do I get bricked out of wifing the best girlsno, because jan won't let you date anyone of the opposite sex in the first place (if you ignore whichever writer snuck in dialog about Aelita confessing to you during the paragon route 24 hour bad ending or in Renegade where she expresses her "I can fix him" attitude towards the player even when fighting for her life against himbut really official romance in rejuv is generally a monkey's paw situation because it's clear he'll sabotage the routes that aren't melia's

>>59497277>i'm sure if you look at not fully updated documentation hell you can find those mega stonesmaybe, but I'm sure those are gonna be obtainable waaaay later in the game if so. no real reason to be mean to npcs in this game anyway, so most people are gonna get said goodies>to be fair umbral shards are not renewable and there are less of them than needed to buy everythingshe sells shit ones like venusaurite (base) which you can already get by this point of the game. I'm just saying that there are a lot of unobtainable ones that should have been put in Shayda's shop just so the player gets access to things that are already in the game

>>59497339jobber hopefully no longer
>>59497170>>59497177I found this on my playthrough too and decided to try it out since I never played whatever gen it originated from and fire/water looked cool for a variant.Decent atk and speed with Flare Blitz, Wave Crash, Rock Head, and Explosion. Regenerator ability so it can quickly kill something and heal off the recoil damage when I switch out. Its been nice to deal with some annoying squishier threads, but its made of tissue paper (especially after taking recoil) so if it doesn't OHKO its basically done. And if its served its purpose for the battle I can just explode and revenge kill whatever it softened up. I just like the theme of it too. This retarded suicidal fish that wants to kill everyone in the room and then itself.

Time for the Food gymI sure do wonder how hard this'll be
loli think this fight gave the woodcock like 4-5 levels
meanwhile Zaydolf got his art rejected by the Juvitessurely that has nothing to do with some ominous music playing right now

how much are you meant to swap team members and stuff around in games like this?Feels like its definitely encouraged to catch lots of different pokemon, but swapping around my team to hard counter whatever opponent I'm up against feels like it cheapens the experience. But if I don't I get my ass beat.And with bosses its even worse since I just have to leech seed/toxic stall them out and it feels extremely "you didn't beat the game" but if I try and fight them legit I just get swept so idk
>>59497501I feel like you're pretty much setup to build your toolbox of mons and swap them for bosses pretty much, rejuv is pretty nasty about this with some fields in particular too, you think you have the fight countered but oh the field actually disables their weaknesses buffs their stabs AND doubles tailwind! Hope you have a good toolbox of flying types because stalling doesnt work in doubles and you only have so many revives
>>59497501rebornlikes are puzzle games. all about finding the correct blocks to fit into each hole
>>59497501I did the entire game and both routes with 6 mons and I never used the box except for puzzles, but you will have a harder time that's for sure.Also don't hesitate to use toxic/curse/leech seed against bosses, game is extremely unfair.
Oookay nobody's responding to my question of whether lurkers think I should count fakeforms as the original mon regarding the "no realmons" rule someone proposedI'll let the last digit of this post decide (evens; they can be used, odds; they can't be used)>>59497501For most games I usually just stick to a single box of mons I rotate in and out whenever I get new mons/an existing mon gets something new it really benefits from/I'm in an area where I can expect lots of mons of X type (or fields that benefit certain types/team archetypes)/whenever I get bored and want to change my teamWhich is usually sufficient except for certain awful fields (which is thankfully the worst Reborn has and even that game rarely uses cancer fields) or those fucking single mon bossfights that expect you to build teams specifically for one boss that you sure as hell know are going to be bad in literally every other situation (in case you didn't read any of my longer posts this thread; that's exactly why I hate them)>And with bosses its even worse since I just have to leech seed/toxic stall them out and it feels extremely "you didn't beat the game" but if I try and fight them legit I just get swept so idkIf it makes you feel any better, Rejuvenation's main gameplay content designer had to lower the difficulty on his own game during his public playthrough. When shit's that fucked, there's no such thing as cheese.Also fuck Rejuv's field balancing, for reasons that >>59497508 stated (also don't forget how most of rejuv's fields aren't changeable in any meaningful way, either due to bosses conveniently having moves to reset the field to something they can abuse, or the field just not being changeable in the first place)

Hey y’all, this is Nemo, the developer behind Pokémon Emerald Seaglass and the recently-released Pokémon Lazarus. I don’t like the idea of a post like this in general but I feel that it’s necessary.First of all, I’d like to extend a massive thank-you to everyone who has been supportive of this project. I’ve never even tried something remotely close to the scope of Lazarus, with a whole new story, completely new region, music modding, and so much more. Now on to the real point of this post. There will always, always be a place for constructive feedback. However, there has been a huge wave (mostly on Twitter, of course) of negativity that I can’t say I was prepared to deal with. I’ve had to see comments and posts saying “Are we all deaf? What the fuck is this shit” about the music, saying that this game “disgusts” them, and even people saying they want to make a “anti-gay patch” for the game.Again, Lazarus included a lot of new things for me. But at the end of the day, I’ve been making this project for over a year in my very limited free time. And to those being homophobic and hateful, I truly have to say that you have no place in this community. With that said, I’ll be taking a step back from the community for a bit. I’ll post bug-fixing and new feature patches to the Development Discord server, but I don’t plan on posting anywhere else for a while. If I go on to develop a new project (which I do have planned!), it will likely be in secret until close to release, if I choose to release it at all. With everything going on in my life (Master’s program, work, real world commitments, etc etc), I guess I’m just not prepared to also handle the bad side of attention on the internet.(TL,DR: I’ve had a lot of people being downright cruel and bigoted towards me and my project, which has really blindsided me. I’ll be taking a step back from the community for now.)
>>59497644What the fuck is this shit music, your game disgusts me and someone should make an anti-gay patch.
>>59497644From the bottom of my heart fuck you losers who attack creators over xpressing themselves through their work, and fuck you losers who spread hate and bigotry. The negative feedback was predictable. This is the voice of the far right, hateful, racist, intolerant, inhuman beings.You don't want to make content for them anyway they are a stain on humanity. Don't waste your time with them, you are very talented and your time is precious. Lazarus is an impressive feat that you should be proud of. Signed a straight ass white guy.

my mons through 10-11 chapters of rejuvenation so far
>>59497663>snowslash>but no ninetales-alolai think you forgot something
>>59497663I had like 15(fifteen) full boxes of shitmons and 1 box of goodmons at that point kek
>>59497667I found a trade for an AVulpix, its among those on my long list of stuff I want to breed and train>>59497668I have like 10 boxes full of others I caught and haven't built or used. These are just the ones I have properly built to use on teams so far
Just saw that they added monotype passwords in one of the recent patches. All it does is change some of the mons you get from eggs and some of the static encounters I guess. Feels quite useless considering where I am now.
>>59497693I feel tempted to do a Monotype run once i have to play Renegade but that might not be the best idea i'm sure
>>59497734I did a mono dragon run for Renegade, it was doable, but I suffered a lot in chapter 16, I also had to use the password to remove the EV cap for my team for the last gauntlet because I was getting burnt out, that's the only fight where I had to use passwords.

Too tired to play right now.>>59497734Well, Renegade is a lot harder than Paragon, you can always try, but just like another anon said, it's going to be very hard.

the first floor of Dewdrop Cavern is, due to map ID reasons, level scaling

a wild wood type appeared!
it's also my favorite type, groundwho wants ot name him
Eat. Shit. Florin.Goddamn that was tricky, quite a few attempts trying to break the AI with Wide Guard/Protect shenanigans to keep my mons alive one more turn, ironically the real threat of Florin's team is thay stupid overtuned crested Leafeon and the immortal dickhead plant with its infinite recovery
I'm feeling tempted to drop Zoroark, while the crest is fun both Hisui and regular suffer from a really bad movepool in general, you really have to build your team around the crest for it to work.
interesting coverage move>>59499012named it Ginseng after asking a friend with a lower response time than this thread
finally a pokemon center
a lot of mons in wack have either very low or very high weightso this move will be useful
wow I am badly underleveled
even wild pokemon are higher leveled than mine (except for that water/flying bird that has a gorillion levels from the trading exp boost)
Guess I'll play on my own until my wifi comes back with the milk, signal is really awful to post images
>>59497501it really depends on how good you are at teambuilding, but having a decent well rounded team for most fights should be enoughfor reference these are all the 'mons I've built so far. I'm on CH9, classic mode, and ng+ so some of my fights are gonna be harder row 1 is all early game 'monsrow 2 were very specific niche answers to a ng+ superbossrow 3 are all answers to relatively niche scenariosrow 4 were built for future battlesrow 5 and the ones in my current team are all pokémon I commonly use (except the treevenant who is only there for boss battles I can't bruteforce)>>59497734I was doing a ground monotype for my Renegade run and I got stuck on Allen so I kinda discourage you from it since you get way less tools than in Paragon, but if you really wanna try it then I recommend doing either fire, electric, or water because of the raikou, entei, and suicune crests you can get in the lategame. fire type's seemed particularly strong
>>59499201Steel is the easiest actually, Genesect kills almost everything in Renegade.
>>59499219oh right, forgot you get one. the early game is probably gonna be really rough though
>>59499201I was thinking Mono Ice for Renegade but Fire/Steel does sound attractive.
