First for The Weak One's favorite pokemon
>>59572923Always hated this sprite, the proportions are all screwed up.
tenth spirit down, earning me a choice band and flyinium-z whenever I get back to the base of victory roadi think the 'yinium will be useful on smogonbird>>59572933>check snowtales' official art for comparisonholy shit they squished the fox's head in its reborn spriteand its neck/chest fluff is shorter
which is now
>>59572943Yeah I think they modeled it off the in-game 3d model but failed to express depth on the head part so now it looks squished. The mane and neck length also look off to me desu.
11 spirits defeated so farthat's ridiculousit's not even funny
>>59572957I've noticed that a lot of gen 6/7 sprites in general look off because they were obviously traced off the ingame modelsAlso why the poses look rather static
>>59572973If they're gonna trace they should at least do it off the official art, the in-game models always looked kind of crap.
Twelvth one down
>underwater field cannot be stormsharded
>reading wiki>underwater field notes>Ground-type moves gain Water as a secondary typeYeah because fuck ferrothorn having any weaknesses hahahahafuck this i'm just gonna bounce out with smogonbird (nothing on this spirit's team has dive/gravity)>>>>>>>Smogonbird does not get Bounce in gen 7
guess i'll use swift swim kingdra to unfuck the field and hopefully sweepthis is gonna suck
get fuckedthirteen down, twelve more to go
Unfortunate does not even begin...
>>59572923That's a horse.
modern film producer down14/25 spirits defeated
>>59573067*giraffe
i wonder why that dragonite is knocked out
+1 to duplicate mon countno contribution
>>59573086Because he's weak to ice.
awkwardly quicksaved during the dialog to start the battle so I had to soft reset for gengar to miss focus blastmay have gotten mawile and staryu sneeded by tyranitar but the ol' reliable sneedtales core (+ naganadel) worked15th spirit done
lucarionite obtained
like that's gonna save it16th spirit down
and now we backtrack into puzzle and field hellgood thing I have a lycanroc
#17 blown to smithereens
faster by 3 points award
pwned
#18 down
fucking triple paralysis reeeee
>sucker punch failing>against an opponent attackingWhat>Fails if the target moves before the user.BUUULLLLSHITTT
19 down, 6 left to go
>Activating this now will result in skipping a cutscene that has significant plot implications.>No we will not tell you what would've happened during that cutscene.
lin did a few things wrong
and that's another pseudo mega crystal
that's #20
... Erinposters? Why so late?
>>59573219He realized how shit she is.
21/25was way closer than it should've been due to seedshit not letting me destroy the field until feraligatr came out and there was finally something slower than my lycanroc
22/25just 3 spirits left
Janxisters...

funny storysometime last year a house burned down a few houses away from mineand the very first thing i see when opening pokemon go was a wild vulpix

oh my science is that a straight couple in an english pokemon fangame

the easiest of the spirit battlesdidn't take a single hit from an enemy (excluding one bullet punch)turn 1>lycanroc splintered stormsharded the dragonite>naganadel dragon pulsed the rotom>field changed to crystal cavernfun fact: crystal cavern turns rock moves (and some things like stealth rock and some other not immediately relevant stuff https://pokemon-reborn.fandom.com/wiki/Crystal_Cavern) into dualtyped moves with a crystal type, which cycles between fire (first crystal type check), water, grass, and then psychic, before looping aroundturn 2>lycanroc stone edged the serperior>naganadel flinchedturn 3>lycanroc accelerocked the infernape>naganadel dragon pulsed the alakazamturn 4>lycanroc accelerocked the scizor when the crystal type was psychic, dealing almost no damage>naganadel flamethrowered itpretty fast loli definitely think that the lategame is when lycanroc goes from pretty decent to really strongwould be a shame if the last two fights of the anna route main campaign were on new world
>>59572933Yeah Reborn/Rejuv sprite quality varies wildly, i remember i had to manually change a few. It really shows they mix and match sprites rather than keeping it cohesive. Small gripe in the grand scheme of things tho
>>59573021Shouldn't Fly work too? Unless that's only in Rejuv i don't remember
>>59573280https://pokemon-reborn.fandom.com/wiki/Crystal_Cavernfield notes on crystal caverna field that I kinda like and would be using for the rock gym leader in that fangame project me and a friend are drip feeding random people info about but not actually working onif said friend didn't suggest that he should use a reworked desert field which lead to me having the idea to have said rock leader have a sun team for daytime battles (archen/solrock/growlithe-hisui/grotle/tyrunt/lycanroc-midday) and a snow team for nighttime battles (amaura/lunatone/piloswine/sudowoodo/avalugg-hisui/lycanroc-midnight) as said desert field changes will take in account that irl deserts get cold at night>>59573293oh yeah that does workwhatever I just used swift swim kingdra to be fast enough to use it as the very first turn
and that's another mega stone
i wonder how this even got through the reborn online leaguejust gonna copypaste a conversation with a friend who knows more about that than i do>basically>you pick out a team of 6 and this was on your trainer card>you weren't allowed to change it, and you fought the gym leaders>each leader had different availability on each day, and they were allowed to change their teams at-will>i'm pretty sure the only restriction that either side had was "no legendaries">also each leader had different fight preferences, e.g. Hardy used a Trick Room team in Triple Battles, and Amaria also liked Triple Battles, she would often use Perish Song in them because of battles favoring the leader in the case of a tie.>The thing that all of the copycat leagues don't get is that the gym leaders could do whatever the fuck they want.>and the players' teamsheets are UNCHANGEABLE and PUBLIC>(they can change them, but not without resetting their progress)>so you have shit like the Calamity League banning Splintered Stormshards and Rillaboom because the gym leaders are too afraid to be the ones to adapt to the challenge.so imagine using a team of 6 against 18 different monotypes in different formatsthe spirit sidequest is based on people who actually beat the online league back when reborn was just some battle simulator chatroom and not a fangamehttps://pokemon-reborn.fandom.com/wiki/Spirit_Sidequesti'll let the team preview icons speak for themselves
and that's spirit #24 down
time to fight this cunt again
>>59573318>she would often use Perish Song in them because of battles favoring the leader in the case of a tie.That is actually really petty lmao.
ourch
>>59573327no fun allowed chud
>>59573333 is a weedle btw if that matters
it wasn't fucking enough>>59573335>check getWell that's just fucking insulting considering that scarfed krookodile
third try's the charm (swapped ninetales and sandslash out for breloom and talonflame)
>>59572933I can't tell what's wrong nor do I care. I don't keep up with the goyfreak games.
one long cutscene later I get to witness Fern FINALLY explaining his motivations and having character development18 badges in and right before the last 6-7 mandatory fights of the maingameAnyways time for a rousing game of Where The Fuck Did I Put My Ninetales
there she is
the last spiriton a godawful field that'll be gone by the time you read this
oh no.
agreednow that's all 25 spirits beaten
i think i'm gonna go rest myselffeels nice hearing the pokemon center theme in this gameit's relaxing and calming while also giving a feeling of i guess progress through the league and restoring the region to its former glory through its beat? i'm not a /mu/tant and wagie seems to be asleep so I can't just ask someone who is about what the proper term isanyways it's great for just relaxing inbetween exploration/combat and contemplating your journey and ruminating about what pokemon you'll bring with you next, whether it's whatever you could get your hands on in the very early game (remember when wild pokemon were supposed to be extremely rare and getting each mon was a little journey of its own? then after the fourth badge you'll have absolutely no shortage of whatever you need to build whatever team archetypes you could possibly need; I got into Reborn initially a decade ago from that premise) or deciding what to use lategame when you have dozens of fully trained mons to choose from for your adventuringa track so good it's warranted a wall of text as to why I like iti should port it into my rejuv mod that i definitely have not been procrastinating on as we speakthe game's songs that are remixes of stuff from official pokemon games runs the gamut from crap to actually listenable tobut the original songs are definitely amazing
>>59573386>i should port it into my rejuv mod that i definitely have not been procrastinating on as we speakspeaking of that i'll definitely need to think of what tracks i'll put in it after replacing rejuv's enormously bloated soundtrack of 410 tracks (1.43gb so they probably compressed some stuff), which has ballooned out of control from v13.5's 309 files/1.36gb (in my copy anyways which i dragdropped audio files into because that version predates the patch folder system) and v13's 249 files/1.06gb (also in my copy) might ask for suggestions also everyone who's been here for more than a year knows I'm gonna include stuff from the entire epic battle fantasy series
>>59573391Forgot the file showcasing what few files survived the purge of stuff I didn't like or was obviously gonna replace anyways for any reason
this seems like a weird restriction desuyou can remotely teach moves from one menu (the bag) but not the party or pokegear
Apparently I was still missing some tutor moves
also one of the things I forgotunlocking remote relearning for my Garchomp, which I haven't used that much this playthroughit was one of my very commonly used party members in my monoground run once I got it
ok I can do this to try and FEAR the PULSE Arceusenemies don't switch often enough for stealth rock to be that importantand this is a tutor move so I have to have it on a mon from the startI can switch items though so after the initial Lin fight I'm taking off the Lycanium and giving the dog a sash and changing my lead to mawile probably (huge power with base 100 attack + sucker punch + dark moves are boosted on new world, and Lin leads with a Mismagius)
gonna go sleep nowwhen I wake up (and remember I said I'd do the e4 today) i'll see if this'll be sufficient
it's over.actually pretty difficult fight, mostly because the mawile punished my setting up with serperior, but fortunately the field helps me more than it helps him
>>59573504just use specs weedle, chanp
what a fucking jobber, she could have killed her even if only momentarily>>59573508I don't do bug monotypes because specs weedle is too strong, sorry man
>geara is 5'4No wonder he's evil he has pent-up manlet rage. He's a tragic villain.
>>59573516canon redditor btw
suck a fucking boring additionJan must have the strongest yes-men in the world to allow him to add this without anyone telling him these sections are boring as hellat least you can hold A to defend without having to time it right (most of the times)
>>59573527I found this shitty gimmick mini"game" to just be a total button mashing slog despite the tutorial claiming that you're not meant to spamWho are they fooling
this is so fucking stupid because the whole reason why old Hazuki fought us is because the Puppet Master "showed her" she could have done more to help and it was all Blakeory's fault she could help Nymiera and the others. you could argue that the Pupper Master just lied to her but it's a shit thing to write regardless>>59573538yeah they all fucking suck, and worst of all you can't skip most of them. I don't think you can even lose them either, so they're just a waste of time
she does it for free btw
>>59573548Aelitabros... Our girl is a janny...
time for ng+ stuffremember that code you found in a paper on the floor after your first Eizen fight? we finally get to use it on the last Chapter, in a door in Gearen Sewers
>>59573605>dialogue choice>changes nothingclassic Jan
man i LOVE gauntlet fights
>Image too largefine.
>>59573659surprisingly they gave Comet relationship points>Well...is the only one that doesn't give you (or take) any, I assume agreeing with him would have given you some more
hope you checked the police department to get the police key right at the end of Chapter 16's part 1
>>59573675creepy... but there's isn't much to see
poor depressed pokéboy
>>59573714guess this is what the belt is for
>>59573717also this is one of the few secret scenes which you can't replay, so I guess if you didn't let him speak, it would could as you fucking it upmaybe he'll kill himself if you don't let him speak, or something
she's so average it hurts
wonder if the dialogue would change if you have low relationship with them when Cosmia calls you a jerk...anyway time for a battle
he leads in with a sticky webs ribombeeand the rest of his team is a h-arcanineclodsirefarigirafmabostiffand lastly a shiny ditto, just like him
continued from >>59573756
Had to update and... thank jan? I already knew about this...
Did you know that hole doesn't have actual collision? You can cross it and get to the cutscene trigger faster for any speedrunners out there
>early game boss is now late game fodder enemyY'know that's actually nice for once, makes you realize how bullshit current fights are too
>oh god... its KANTOOOOO again
Madame X finally does something! (She fails either way)
Perci fucking who?
not surprising at all to see Eizen here, but I'm not in the mood for a bullshit fight, if I can't beat it in two tries I'm doing it later>>59573801they also added a pokéball icon for wild battles so you can catch them quicker, and the TMs in your bag have type icons now. small QoL changes
>Power died outThis feels familiar...
Oh no it's more meta stuff
Obviously it's not doing anything to your files otherwise Rejuv would be flagged as Malware, would've been cool however
Fuck that A-Muk got hands wtf??? Bastard had to cheat ofc
>>59573841fun fact, this fight checks if you have a completed file of Where Love Lies, Reborn, and Desolation, and it chooses at random one of those to make you fight them as a boss therefor WLL you fight Deagan, this is also the default if you don't fit any requirementsfor Reborn you fight Linfor Desolation you choose between Nova and Shivyou can also manipulate the choice when Storm Nym gives you a prompt to write something
>>59573857>Reborn saveUh... i think i still have that around, is it NG+ exclusive? Might as well beat that fight again with an even shittier team
>>59573902nope, but check use debug to check if the Reborn unicode toggle is on, it might be offand when she asks you how you're feeling, say you're feeling Reborn, if she says a different line then it's on
>>59573914Odd, no prompt. It's probably not reading my save then
Eat shit bozo, Intercept Z to change the field, got bewitched forest i think, didnt really matter though just wanted to remove the added fire damage on ground moves
>>59573857Deagan and Green cheat in different ways (free stat boosts / PULSE2)Do the Deso fights cheat?
>>59573841does this nerd even do anything of note beyond nominally raising his brother's kid for a decade and getting cucked twice
>>59573971He looks brown despite being Japanese, that's pretty notable.
>>59573971He's my soon to be father in law, that's pretty notable.
>>59573857I found the Lin fight in ch16.1 to be a total fraud which only took two attempts totalI was shocked it was her pushover "champion" team as opposed to her new world team which I expected because Jan LOOOOOVES no fun allowed fields
gg
>>59573945sorry I meant check the "unidata" section in the debug menu, if 0006: Reborn is set to ON, then you can trigger the Reborn fight. tell Nym you're feeling "REBORN" and it'll pick the Reborn fight>>59573956not sure, I only fought Shiv and it wasn't hard at all, didn't seem to have inflated stats from PULSE2 stuff either>>59574026would be pretty shit if they were super hard since you can't change your team without losing, but yeah they're all frauds>>59574045congrats! you're free from the Rejuv curse... unless you do a Renegade run or something, I guess
>>59574060ill probably start one at some point, since i like doing dual runs over mono runs nowadays ill probably lean into the edge and go ghost/dark
>>59574060Can't really use debug rn for some reason but eh I'll figure that out later, for now it will be Deagan
>>59574072you get the crested legendary dog trio deep into Renegade, but suicune's is pretty whateverthe other two are pretty strong though, might wanna check that and see if you're interested in them to build your run around
>>59573979>soon to be father in lawMeetings are going to get weird when the whole "been doing your daughter and ex-wife" thing pops out.
had to rely on grasswhistle to kill his fucking mega aerodactyl, but everything else was pretty easy. water spout + STAB adaptability, and with cherrim crest + helping hand is a beast of a strategyhonorary mentions to the lagging tail I tricked onto the terapagos because it kept buffing its speed, and the sticky barb that got stuck on the glimmora thanks to injection making contact
as if it wasn't obvious enough who the purple haired girl with a seviper with an amputated tail was, Jan spells it out for us>Eizen is savescumminghe's just like me...
actually pretty interesting, shame this should be the end of ng+ stuff. gonna have to wait 3 years for the next update and more ng+ contentwas gonna skip to the Xenpurgis but it doesn't give you the stupid moth lamp for Kaina... even if I didn't use it on my previous run I *want* it just to have it collecting dust in my bagthe skip sends you straight to the start of the roguelike
apparently, there's a ng++ thing that only happens after doing all the ng+ stuff and doing a new run... I'm planning on doing a new one any time soon, but in case anyone's curioushttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_EwFaTxNDsUI'm pretty sure this scene can be triggered after beating the second Eizen fight
I FOUND IT KEK
>>59574329>I'm planningnot*>>59574333double nigger trips
>>59574329Do you plan on playing another fangame after this?
>>59574333Why are you lurking on Jan's Tumblr musk
>>59574329I saw something similar, there's a door that leads to Melia's interdimensional rape dungeon or something.https://youtu.be/svsA2cYO7FE?t=401
>erin was based on this>>59574345>muskWut?
>>59574344not sure, I don't really feel like doing a Reborn run, and Desolation is kinda shortI'll see when I'm finally done with Paragon and Percy's gauntlet. maybe I'll take a break and then come back for a full Renegade run if these threads are still alive, or maybe I'll feel like playing through Reborn again by then>>59574351yeah, it's that same scene, but that guy speeds through everything so his videos suck for anything other than fights>>59574353forgot about this game, but yeah I can see it
>>59573222>He>>59574353That's a pretty cute character, just like Erin.

No fun allowed.

>venusaur used bloom doom>barely scratched naganadel>made the field grassy>which instantly got ignited by heat wavelmao
>>59575159I think his fight being a total pushover if you have (even manual) weather setting doesn't help that eitherI think the venusaur panicking and using its z-move early upon noticing that Talonflame could OHKO it with Acrobatics didn't help at all3 turn victory lol
>>59575169oh yeah, he was always easy as shit. so easy you even get relationship points with him if you lose when you meet himI meant I dislike him as a character
>Debug checked my PC to see where the fuck my choice scarf was>It was still in my bag, just not with the other choice items because I forgot to sort itebinthink I'll give it to my NaganadelI have 4 priority users (Mamoswine/Talonflame/Lycanroc/Mawile) just in caseand just for good measure I'm gonna replace Naganadel's thunderbolt/heat wave with dud moves so the ditto can't scratch my Mawile (I have thunderbolt/flamethrower TMs)
also to no one's surprise it's my only physical attackerso this is even more of a dud move than it usually is
Time for Elias whose ditto is likely gonna be dead weightOnly thing vaguely concerning for my sweeping antics is Dragonite but I have a Mamoswine
