Oh that’s a good sign
The scene itself goes fine as we get a motherfucking prrrrrrrrrrromotion, more fat stacks, and an Aerodactyl from that Amber Petrel got like three missions ago We look like a fucking dork

>>59637135Life Hits Hard indeed
Give non-dogshit mods
>>59637109here's the save before the fight. if you want I can beat it and just give it to you, or tell you what I did to beat 'emhttps://www.mediafire.com/file/ekno1ghl9vdxqwz/Game_8.rxdata/filehad to do a couple things to be able to consistently win the fights:1. had to change a couple of natures and EV spreads2. had to use the norolls password3. had to go to Akuwa Town to teach infernape endeavor4. had to level down said infernape5. had to turn on move relearners for a couple of 'em to teach egg and natural moves6. and lastly had to, obviously, change moves and items
>>59636504Issue is that Dialga, Palkia and Latios have their unique items on top of really one-sided fields in these fights. remove one or the other and i assure you the fights get way more doable and less frustrating
Narratively taking the forgotten starter all the way to the finish line is compelling But unfortunately the executive addition to the hideout has some sinnoh mons (and larvitar) for purchase and you know I can’t just turn down The Gunk

it's over
>>59637166>>59637109Congrats, how did you beat them and how long did it take you ?I also did it with that team. Except that I replaced Misty Terrain with Moonblast on Florges and I didn't even have to use Scovillain.Here's how I did it :>Battle starts>Sends Infernape, uses endeavor and mach punch>First shield breaks, Palkia steals Infernape>Sends Aevian Gyarados, paralyzes Palkia and breaks the second shield with a Dragon Pulse>Aevian Gyarados dies, sends Torkoal and uses Elysian Shield>Switches to Reborn Florges, Palkia uses Surf and kills Infernape>Uses Moonblast twice to break the third shield, Palkia steals Florges>Sends Mega Houndoom and uses Destiny Bond>Both die
Our next mission is to siege Silph, to accomplish >Obtaining the Master Ball>Getting John Silph to presumably switch sides >Having Giovanni intentionally job to make the general populace think we’ve dissolvedBefore that we get a black belt from the Saffron dojo and rough up a guy at Pewter museum for the bikers, who give us a Hitmonchan

>>59638007>
It's so over
>>59637934congrats to you too! how long did it take you?>how did you beat them and how long did it take you ?like 3 hours, or so, probably. partly because I'm not familiar with fire types and what they can learn, but mostly because of rng hell with palkia's signature move having higher crit chance and thunder paralyzing me and skipping my turn way too often at least perma gravity meant I wouldn't miss any moves, but also wasted time going around getting items I didn't end up using, like custap berrieshere's how I did it:>battle starts>torkoal sets up sun and elysian shield, dies right after>send scovillain, leech seed, protect, and solar beam. palkia loses hp bar, steals scovillain with just enough hp to die to leech seed this didn't matter in my winning run, but my original strat was to send infernape, protect to kill scovillain, and then endeavor palkia so it stole an useless 'mon>sun ends, scovillain loses chlorophyll boost>send florges, it tanks a surf with pasho berry and kills both with misty explosion (palkia doesn't steal anyone because of this)>infernape endeavor+mach punch, gets stolen>mega houndoom uses snarl and kills infernape because palkia never went for the kill with surf (maybe because of infernape), so it uses thunder>pray it doesn't paralyze and skip my turn>destiny bond and win
>>59638213>get a JUST haircut at the exact time Giovanni needs to convince the country Team Rocket is Fucking OverHis genius scares me
>>59637971Would.
One silph sweep later and Blue randomly assures us he’s still in our pocket before we go beat up the cranky boomer president.
It's over
>>59639064Will it ever not be over again?
Instead of guarding until Red shows up we’re met with Bill and THIS FUCKING ASSHOLE again.I think I hate this fuckass scientist more than any rival.
>>59639103Time to send his ass to Tiksi

“How could I possibly lose with Porygon2” one od the most unintentionally hilarious pieces of dialogue I’ve ever experienced in a pokemon game
>caught the Drilbur>immediately gives me a sun stoneHe'll be a good friend.
>actually got physically attacked by TornadusGuess I'm made of sterner stuff. The shop opened up but doesn't sell repels so this forest section is going to be fun...
Pete fights me and knocks out my Drilbur, now I get to walk all the way back without repels!
Pete gave me an Exp. All after beating him, fangames really are in love with this thing I don't think I've played a single one without this in it in recent times.
>gym is in the middle of the woodsWhy not I guess... I have to walk all the way back to the starter town if I want to heal without repels because no one bothered to set up a Poke center... But that's okay, put your damn gym in the woods far away from civilization... See if I care...
Hopefully I'm finally done with the dang forest. Almost everything inflicts some type of status effect either forcing me to walk all the way back to Mom or use an item that I don't have a lot of. Very annoying.
>immediately get accosted by gruntsFML
They mentioned the MC's dad so surely I get to beat the information out of them right?
Finally a chance to heal, this is truly the Dark Souls of Pokemon.
>enter the poke center>townsfolk immediately hand me a Munna as thanks for dealing with the thugsEh, it kinda sucks and it looks like a balloon animal. And you're really telling no one could deal with 2 level 10 Pokemon?
>adamant natureYeah, thanks...
Hey apparently I can change anyone's nature anyway, not bad!
Some of these newgen Pokemon look pretty bad as sprites, looks even more like a balloon animal than Munna.
It's not over ?
>>59639765He's clowning you
>>59639720I played some recent games that don't have it and I strongly prefer when it's in
>what do we call our city that we built on top of a volcano?Dare I say, kino?>>59639796I put that homo into a dusty box for that.>>59639801If the game is well balanced I think it's better to leave it out, but if it has a bunch of level spikes it makes that a lot more manageable. Though right now it doesn't feel too bad to have it, maybe I only view it negatively because it was too OP in gen 6, not sure.
>fire type leader is called Fiery
Seems like you can turn into Cynthia if you're rich.
>>59639720Hate when this shit is forced, don't give a shit if it's optional but this sohuldn't be forced upon me
>walk down some random path>there's a bunch of dead cops out of nowhereWell that took a turn pretty quickly.>>59639816This game lets you turn it off at least, but either way it's probably hard to balance around it if you try to account for players not using it.
Can't fight this guy yet apparently so I guess we just ignore this road filled with dead cops for now...
>old guy will only tell me about dad if I beat him>3 strong monsDang it I actually have to make a choice on who to catch now, I was hoping to find a Lokix in the bug forest but I couldn't find one. Not sure what I want to catch honestly...
Caught this retard but the mons in Flamen City are like 5 levels higher than the route before it so it seems I have to grind..... Or grab the rare candies mystery gift.
>pick noWtf did he mean by this?
>>59639842>put them in the wrong order Whoops!
>waste all my balls catching this fuck>wrong abilityKYS!!!!!!!
>used dragontail>turns poor cyndaquil into a black smear on the floorBRVTAL
>minimize drifloonI hate fangames!!!!!!
That old fuck even has an Absol at this stage of the game, he's a cheater.
That should teach this geriatric to mess with me, I hate old people.
>dad who abandoned me was actually part of the hero party who took down the BBEG years agoGroundbreaking stuff... Guess he didn't do a great job because BBEG is back again. So dad is pretty much a jobber, sad!
>anime character mentioned out of nowhereIt's a fangame alright!
>only now does a scientist walk in to tell us about dead cop roadHe's pretty slow for a scientist.
They're going to flood the city with lava via the lava control center. Maybe it was a bad idea to build a city on top of a volcano... Maybe they should have hired some better security too.
Wow Fiery is here at least.
Just realized this game didn't even add fairy type but it DID add the moves, so that's weird. Also Dratini is already kind of falling behind, right now it doesn't have much going for it besides the typing. Dragon tail deals decent damage but it has negative priority so it's awkward to use.
>>59639911>No troon typeB-Based ?
>mentioned that the MC is a big fan of Fiery>fiery might have already jobbedNever meet your heroes.>>59639913Incredibly so.
>Fiery beat all of them>they just healed up againThis is why you kill people.
>durr there were a lot of thugs so it took longerI cleared both our sides myself... what a jobber!
Pathetic...
He's LITERALLY me!
Apparently this is V from the beginning of the game, he's fucking ugly... Literally me!
>win the battle>"hurrrr you're a disappointment" KWAB
>>59639944>Is named V>Is an ugly faggotThe Rejuvenation curse is spreading
>teleports away again before we can apprehend himThis is like the 4th time this happens...>>59639946Wtf that thing is horrifying, very happy I skipped Rejuvenation's side quests.
I can't believe nobody got tossed into the lava
This moving sprite is pretty cool.>>59639954Yeah what a fucking disappointment. What's even the point of making a fan game then.
Huh, first vs portrait that doesn't even look that bad.

Can't go 10 steps without encountering these freaks.
This bitch is here again.
>>59639883First for Erin
CAN STUN SPORE EVER FUCKING HIT?????!!!!!!!

That retard was guarding another cave, what a freak. (Taking a break here doe)
>>59639958Give dragon dance
We’re given free reign after that for a bit, and after traveling to Cinnabar a scientist reveals his partner bailed with fifty fucking Eevee and is selling them on the mainlandHodl
>>59638413It took me a hour, I think I spent more time dying to that fucking signature move than finding a good strategy.
I am committed to try and get Gene to murder all of his genetic brothers while he stays on this teamWe save sixty Eevees, and returning them to the scientist nets us five with relevant evolutionary stonesNot sure if that means leafeon and glaceon are out or if we get two more later
>>59640131Just saw on the pokecommunity forum that someone released an english translation of the last version by the way. Don't know how good it is though.
>>59640136My plan is to play this to the end of its content, then if there’s any hoenn release official or otherwise I’ll use the nemesis start with whatever my team was
>>59640136got a link, does it have hoenn?
>>59640145Page 73 of the game's thread, I can play it here but I'll take a small break before.
i just lost the game
>>59640402LOSER
>>59640540It's so over it hasn't even begun.
Can’t believe the hardest fight so far was the fucking magikarp salesmanOne struggle later and we get the last KANTOOOOOOO starter, and returning the cash to the scientist in Fuchsia nets us a snorlax. Time to explore the rest of the mansion.
Give better game
>>59641110No.
>>59641110Kill yourself.
>>59641110Give mating press
>>59639815I am most certain the space suit is a better investment anyways.
tough fight. mostly because of her fucking mega greninja outspeeding everything, having protean, and spamming fire hidden power
this fight was way easier than his first one because you can just use blizzard to get rid of the fieldalso, his team is technically stronger, but I have enough tools to get rid of his bullshit now
this field is kinda busted for physical setup sweepersjust give it a telluric seed for max crit rate on entry and use nature power once to get a +3 attack boost. if leafeon was slightly faster or pawmot wasn't slightly slower I could have sweeped her with just leafeon, but had to sacrifice cherrim to set up sun for chlorophyll's speed boost
Asked this in /rheg/, but any games that have light fanservicey stuff that Eevee Expo and maybe Pokecommu would be appaled by?
Pokemon Odyssey 2 looks so good brehs, too bad it'll take 50 years to finish.
>finished the events in deux finalis>even after what felt like the final final final boss it still keeps going>even lets me catch a legendary after and fight some other high level battles so surely there is more>haven't even fought the elite 8 and champ yet either>fuck it I need a break, so I don't play for a week>pick up again today>literally 3 minutes in>short conversation with everyone>defeat the xenpurgis off screen>fought the E8 and champ off screen>save the world off screenokay what the FUCKthat's actually some bullshitis this just v15 content that hasn't been finished yet so they phone it in?I woulda just done this a week ago if I knew it was the end...
>>59642059>he doesn't knowUh oh.
>>59642063>it keeps going>dude bad end lmao fuck youOk somehow that was even worse
>>59642093See you in 3 years !
>>59642093Congrats on beating it, at least......
>>59642093>>59642095>>59642098And I didn't even win the final battle because the team I brought was not it (4/6 weak to fire lmao), but I kept going because I got a cutscene after instead of game over room, so I thought it might have been a "you're supposed to lose this" type deal. So I looked up a playthrough on youtube after where the player beat her and it was all the same. So wtf was the point of that battle and entire sequence even. Even after getting the ending it put me back before I even did that battle so lolGlad to be done with it at least. Ch16 was way too fucking long, but I actually really liked it until the very end.
Rocket anon, you can capture Mew by using strength and Surf in Vermilion with Ultra Balls or Great Balls. Just make sure you have a status Pokemon like some grass types. Then you can mindbroke Mewtwo by using Mew to beat it (or even capture it with Ultra Balls after Mew has weakened it enough, no need to use Master Ball.) All these useless geezers like Oak and Lance are chumps (and Red too). But our boss is great because he at least isn't a coward.
So, is the Rejuvenation curse over ?
Can't even set one foot into this cave without getting accosted by one of those darn Grunts. Grunts are a plague on our society, they're an inferior race that should be discriminated against on every level. We need concentration camps for Grunts, re-education programs for Grunts, anti-Grunt police forces. I hate Grunts.
>>59642109v14.5 soon
>forgot to healFugg.....
>stun spore missed 3 times in a row againI actually hate this game so much.
Wow they're going to try and genocide another city, this Grunt is very forthcoming about this. I guess grunts just hate city slickers, pretty based I hate to admit.
>>59642115Those areas NEED to be redone (again) bro.
Dang dark-looking fellas...>>59641703I'll buy it once I save up enough money.
>one grunt has nickit, skorupi and woobat>next grunt has nickit skorupi and woobatThey're already getting lazy, just copy pasting encounters...
Final post-mortem when nobody asked>pokedex 545/912>playtime 191 hours 4 minutes>Partythe 6 pokemon I'd say were most overall valuable overall. Quite a bit of recency bias toward the end since that had some hard fights and was freshest in my memory. >Meganium was my starter and goated all the way through with dual screens and leech seed and its broken crest.>Chandelure was cracked af and carried me hard in the mid game >scizor and ferrothorn are broken as ever (even though the game very clearly knows this and gives everything in ch16 fire moves, they were still great though), volcarona any time I can set up hard swept fights for me>infernape is just retarded with its crest, fake out and power up punch plus drain punch and fblitz >Box 16Pokemon that were regulars in and out of my team throughout the game once I got them. Routinely found a use for them when a fight demanded them.>Box 17Team regulars that I used quite a bit through the game, but were lesser used than box 16>Box 18Much more niche pokemon and/or favorites or pokemon with crests I wanted to try, that I didn't get to use as much as I would like. Most of these didn't see more than a handful of battles>Box 19Stuff I basically never got to use. Either bred out of boredom or just to cover my bases.A lot of them are really good pokemon that I just got access to way too late into the game to find a reason to use them like blaziken and the pseudos.Others were just me wanting to be over-prepared during the ch16 point of no return and having as many options available to avoid soft locking my game since I'm pretty shit at the game.Overall it was a great fan game. It gets memed on quite a lot (for good reason) but I still think it has set a very high bar for fangames. I am afraid when I try other games I will find myself missing a lot of features it had. Kind of went full retard with the story after a point and lost me but it was a fun (but very long) playthrough.
>got flinch haxed by a bite meowth until drilbur fainted>got flinched haxed by astonish zubat and my Dratini faintedI hate being unlucky, it's unfair. Now I have to drag my ass back out the cave, down a long road, take the cable car back up the mountain and then back again to heal.
>flip 3 switches>open path aheadI hate this type of game design, why does every game do it? It sucks...
Wait wut.
>>59642179RAPE
This nigger is filtering me wtf.
>>59642129Yeah, the early game still has too much Pokemon and not enough cutscenes
After playing enough Pokemon, I finally became an astronaut. (got enough money while grinding up a houndour to beat fucking ferroseed)
>>59642059This is genuinely how much Jan cares about the actual pokemon parts of "pokemon" rejuvenation
>>59642191the early game was the best part unironically, so much exploration, side quests, and things to doonce it got to around GCD and exploration stopped and it became a linear glorified visual novel it got way worse as an actual game
Alright this ugly bastard is about to learn why baton pass was banned in Showdown.
Why is Silver called Kayo anyway? Guess they just re used his sprite.
>>59642216Original OC donut steel
>fade to black teleports AGAINHe also mentioned he knows the blue haired girl so that's something.>>59642217His dialogue is kinda edgy it's pretty funny, he says "tch" and everything.
Man we really gotta stop installing kill switches for every city we build.
>>59642114It’s over. I said I would stop after the space hags and I did beat them. Now I’m burnt out from Rejuvenation and I won’t touch it again for a while (until V14.5 comes out, I guess), only the weak one is still cursed.>>59642114But grunts are people too.>>59642208Truth nuke. That's how I feel about this game. And it just keeps getting worse, the last chapters just feel like a chore on a second playthrough.
>>59642253Meant to >>59642109
>>59642253See you in 2 months !
>>59642253Congrats on being free, you're one of the good grunts. GDC is very blatant about wasting your time it's insane. One of the first quests you get with the house search and the underground thugs it literally tells you it didn't matter at all and it was a waste of time, setting the tone for like 90% of it. Act 2 as a whole doesn't even have a plot most of the time, the vast majority is just foreshadowing at something that could be interesting 60 hours later.
>there was a doctor here the entire timeAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
I don't even get a choice, I don't want this useless piece of crap. I don't even know how to get to the next zone I'm stuck in this cave.
>the exit was just behind a rock wallDang it I'm retarded.
>i can get an alolan vulpixOh my...
>>59642100>So wtf was the point of that battle and entire sequence evenMate, how have you gotten that far into the game and not seen that bullshit happen every time you fight a bad guy?

>>59642398how did you misspell rejuvenation
>>59642415well they do come from the same devs huh...
>>59642398the part i actually like about reborn is that it feels like its made by a bunch of obsessive serial killers. just let it happen, enjoy the schizophrenia, and you come out the other side with a gaming experience youve never had before and perhaps some homosexual leanings
FREE BIRDS, LET’S GO GET SOME FREE BIRDSEavesdropping on Blaine going “but I don’t WANNA rise against tyranny waaaaaah” is the only other thing we need to do before Giovanni calls us for a special meeting.
>>59642253>only the weak one is still cursed.Unfortunately so. Thankfully today I'm free so i should be able to start fighting Percy
Merely a coincidence that Fuji immediately gets arrested after this.
>>59642452>bunch of obsessive serial killersYou mean teenagers?
>>59642496It's over for Fujisan
With Rocket “dead”, our third party conspirators getting arrested, and the League seeming to know we can make birds as they’ve just unilaterally banned their use, Giovanni hedges his bets on the three of us to take the league challenge (not proton he’s a bitch) in the hopes one of us can cuntpunt Lance
>>59642507Is Giovanni a good b0ss?
>>59642561He’s been pretty solid so far, including rather pointedly punishing the one time the lower tiers were stupidly evil (Cubone poaching) Also posting the current squad prior to starting the gym challenge

Any Pokémon fangame inspired by DBZ ?
>>59642865far too high T for pokesissies
>>59642865Dragonball Z team Training.Clover has some references.
I haven't tried out Desolation yet. Is it worth playing in it's current state? The download page says it's currently up to 8 badges but I have no context of how long that is. Is it the usual 18 badges? Are there rumours of when the next update is coming out?
>>59642911I believe they planned 12 badges but Deso is never getting finished desu
>>59642911it's definitely playableyou are gonna want debug mode to walk through walls because holy shit are the maps several times larger in both dimensions and travel time than they need to be
>>59642865Check for spanish fangames, spics love adding (not) subtle DBZ references in their games
>>59642100>So wtf was the point of that battle and entire sequence evenyou know how before the Script was over we used to blame everything dumb that happened on it? well now the excuse it's all part of Melia's Gambit>>59642161>>Meganium was my starter and goated all the way throughI respect picking meganium as a starter, not even I pick it. the crest is really nice though>I am afraid when I try other games I will find myself missing a lot of features it hadyeah, a lot of rhe QoL stuff Rejuv has is super nice and it feels pretty weird to play without 'em. hopefully more devs follow their footsteps>Kind of went full retard with the story after a point and lost methat's one of Rejuv's main problems, they just keep piling shit up on the story for no reason instead of developing the things they already have. the second bigges problem is, of course, the amount of characters the game has that only appear once and then do nothing>>59642398>do we need this many supporting characters?they realize they have too many characters and stop adding more later, but yeah it's a big cast, and a lot of them are pretty meh>>59642420I'm pretty sure it's just inspired, but there aren't many devs shared among both games
>>59642911Desolation is cursed to never be finished, it got dropped and picked back up like 12 times, and, apparently, the lead dev quit recently the sprites and maps are kinda dated. they said they're working on that, but I'm pretty sure they haven't dropped an actual update in like 4 years or sothe story is pretty good. nothing ground breaking, but really good for a pokémon fangame (which isn't saying much, but y'know)your "friends" are also pretty likeable, I don't think any of them overstay their welcome, and they're pretty funthe balancing is pretty bad, you'll go from fighting random npcs with 2 or 3 'mons to a random one that has a strong full team, and then go back to shitters with half a team. bosses like gym leaders are very hard though, most of them get strong boosts from their fields and by the second one they have a full team of evolved 'mons. tried to do a grass mono and realized it was impossible to get past the second (flying type) gym leader
>>59642161>someone else was dumb enough to pick MeganiumLet's go, brother! Our pick was invalidated around the fourth gym but it's ok.
>>59642914>>59642925>>59642942>never eversad. Don't wanna go through that pain again so I guess I'm better off playing something else. Thanks guys

>>59642637The VIP room in the deep rocket base has a handful of sinnoh mon imported for purchase.
>>59642935>>59642953if only there was as few starters as strictly necessary to cover all 18 types so it'd be possible to feasibly balance all 9 starter options instead of just throwing in every official starter with no guarantee that you'll be able to get anything you don't pick in a reasonable time period, thus encouraging players to always pick one of the really strong ones because they're sabotaging their run if they don'tbut "9 custom starters covering every type" doesn't draw in as many gullible players as "EVERY OFFICIAL STARTER IS AVAILABLE"plus that'd take actual effort better spent on deciding what new layer of asspulled nonsense to throw in
>>59643014They should have just made 3 custom Aevian form starters.
>>59643019*9so that all monotypes have a startergranted that'd require them to give even the barest shit to give about monotypes being enjoyable with how fucking cancerous the fields are in this game
>>59643019I remember when Aevian Feebas was available early game. Fuckers removed it and now it's only available after Chapter 12 in an optional route that most people probably don't find or remember
You need to fish in Route Z to get Aevian Feebas now, I don't think a lot of people find it without looking a fucking guide
>>59643040this entire game is walkthroughslop

It's really over
>>59643195Can we get much higher?
odds and writefag must show a sign of lifesomething something i fantasize of being breastfed by aelita while tesla and amber give a double titfuck
>>59643333Holy sheeeeeeeettttt
Misty does not react to us at all. Surge is a BITCH. Somewhat amusingly because these can be done in any order every time you walk into one the gym greeter is some variation of “A ROCKET, HOW CAN THIS BE? O-Oh, you’re licensed… I’ve got my eye on you!”
>>59642983Huey is dead. Honestly one of the few good things about this version. He was useless and annoying, I don’t care about Reina or Lavender either. They were useless filler characters who deserved what happened to them.
Erika is also nothing. Koga remains supportive of fighting the power, and is like the fourth person to tell me or Blue to beat the fuck out of Red.
>>59643333I killed him before he could finish writing with my archetype powers
>>59643619nuh uh
fucked up to make you fight 'em in the swamp field in a 6v10 doubles battleI'm lucky enough to have a contrary 'mon (lurantis) and a swift swimmer (ludicolo) to take advantage of it, even though I got fucked by rng and missed many moves
>>59643626>having a swift swimmerluckyi had to use fuckin vivillon when i was at this point (on 1 difficulty lower)
>>59643637it was either that or try to force a permanent grassy terrain with arbolivawas it a 6v10 for you too?
>>59643646it's just a 6v8 on allgen/omgon OU difficulty which seems to be the intended one (which allegedly was "slightly harder" than vanilla to account for all the new mons you get but I'm calling serious bullshit on that)not much consolation when you're running a rock-weak monotype against a pair of lycanrocs supported by screens
>>59643651they lead with a mega corsola which has an ability that sets up stealth rocks when hit and deals contact damage, so it could have been way worse for you
>>59643653>heavy duty boots are in the eighth floor of the department store>aka after 9 badgesIs there anything else in this that seems to be a "fuck Musk in particular" thing
>>59643661don't think so. the other stuff seems to be a general fuck you to everyone, not anyone in particular
easy fight despite all my misplays
is reborn a fun game to monotype or would I be miserable?
>>59643734I feel like any game is gonna be miserable if you go for a mono blind, so if it's your first time playing the game (or doing a mono), then it might be better if you do a regular run firstRebornlikes and obviously Reborn itself tend to be pretty bullshit at times, so it's good to know what you're gonna go up to from a previous normal run and preparing aheadas a side note, Musk and I posted about the *allgen mod*, not regular Reborn, so all of our complains about difficulty are because the mod is made difficult on purpose
>>59643734vanilla? yes, there's even passwords specifically for monotype playthroughs that rig some random events to give mons of your chosen typeallgen or some other kaizo mod? don't even think about itregarding monotype passwordsthe following will generate new pokemon from events that wouldn't otherwise have them>monoflying/ghost: midnight pokemon event becomes drifloon (normally grubbin/joltik)>monoground/ice: scared pokemon becomes swinub (normally espurr/minccino)>monorock: scared pokemon event becomes aron, kricketot event becomes dwebble instead>monosteel: scared pokemon event becomes aron
>he has an actual teamoh no...
and I guess I'll go on a tangent about starters in reborn monotypes>no formal starterbug, rock>only one real choice>electricEevee (evolves into Jolteon)>flyingCharmander because Rowlet loses its flying type when fully evolved>ghostRowlet>normalPorygon, since Eevee loses its normal type upon evolving>poisonBulbasaur>steelPiplup>multiple choices but one is a way better pick due to performance or being available significantly later>darkFroakie has an overpowered ability and is super fast and this is a mainly singles game so sorry Litten fans if you're not using the doubles password (both need 16 badges either way)>fightingTorchic. The other fire starters are worse versions of it and Chespin only needs 9 badges. >groundWater/ground isn't that rare of a typing and GODstrodon only needs 4 badges, whereas you don't get Turtwig until after 9 badges.>iceYou have either Eevee or Vulpix-Alola. Considering the latter is the best snow setter AND doubles as a dualscreens setter it's not even close>psychicFennekin is your only part fire type in this monotype and Espeon only needs 5 badges versus Fennekin's 12.>multiple choices, no obvious best one>dragonYour choice between Charmander and Treecko, which both mega evolve into part Dragon types. The other two fire/dragon and grass/dragon mons are both after 4 badges. The "dragon" starters you didn't pick are both available after 13 badges>fairyYour options are Popplio, Vulpix-Alola, and Eevee. Eevee's after 5 badges so that's off the list, and Vulpix-Alola's in the Jasper mystery egg. There is another water/fairy from that egg in Azurill so either Popplio or Vulpix are reasonable options. You may want to debug that egg to give a vulpix-alola/azurill, respectively>no shortage of choices>fire/water/grassFor obvious reasons though Blaziken/Greninja/Serperior are generally recommended for a reason and they're all the last starters of their respective types in badge order as well
What's a fun edgy rom hack?
>>59643780Also for the 2 lurkers not yet awareThere are some "secret" starters that need a password to pick>vulpixplsLets you pick kantonian or alolan Vulpix. I am quite fond of the latter because it's cute and because it sets dualscreens + hail for my favorite pokemon to sweep with and because it's cute, and also because monofire has enough competition as-is with Torchic>monowokeLets you pick Porygon as a starter though I recommend turning it off immediately afterwards if you're doing a monotype because it rigs some events to have genderless mons regardless of type (and makes the scared pokemon event espurr which i don't remember being genderless)>eeveepleaseLets you pick Eevee, which is only a good idea for monoelectric as the other types have better options>mystarterLets you pick any pokemon in the game as your starter and surely you have the self restraint to use this responsibly, riiight?>>59643784reborn's the only cringekino hackgame i've played that i can genuinely recommendrejuvenation and desolation are painful for differing reasons (rejuvenation has awful balancing and story, while desolation has awful mapping)>rom hackohuuuh i don't play romhacks mostly because i can't come up with a control scheme that isn't annoying as hell as someone who's so used to essentials controlsplus it's just really easy for me to forget i have mgba downloaded
>>59643791further rambling about the vulpix starter options>kantonian vulpixObtainable 2 badges in via jasper mystery egg, or 9 badges in via agate circus if you wisely decide to rig that mystery egg to larvesta which you can feasibly evolve 4-5 badges in (or maybe earlier with enough grinding and/or pickup abuse) and would otherwise need to wait 16 badges for in Teknite Cave>alolan vulpixAs stated in my summary of monoice's starters, it pretty obviously favors Vulpix-Alola, but if you crack your skull open and get the idea to pick Eevee instead, you'll have to wait 11 badges to catch a Vulpix-A, versus the 5 badges you'd have to wait to find an Eevee.Unless you count the mystery egg but then you'd have to choose between Vulpix-A (11 badges) and Sneasel (12 badges), when you could just pick Vulpix-A as your starter, rig the mystery egg to Sneasel 2 badges in, and get Eevee 5 badges in.With monofairy I guess it's a little more vague as to whether or not you'll want it over Popplio considering there's no fairy types that benefit from hail (well besides nullifying sun/rain/sand if you send it in after an opposing weather setter because the slowest setter takes priority and >109) so it'll mostly just be a dualscreens setter that can fish for blizzards (and freeze dry opposing water types; it's an egg move from delibird/swinub)It is notably the third fastest non-legendary fairy type (ribombee's at 124, whimsicott's at 116)From a pure availability standpoint Popplio's behind 13 badges whereas Snowpix is behind 11, and regarding the mystery egg, Cottonee's behind 10 badges and (azu)marill needs 16so pick Popplio if you want a water type AND ninetales-alola/whimsicott before then
>>59643770it's always funny to completely fuck up a boss's strategy fight starts with an overheated field, sun, and he leads in with a mega torkoal that tries to change the field into a burning oneone shot the torkoal before it could pull that shit off, used blizzard to terminate the field, and snow warning got rid of the sun (this also kills the sturdy 1 hp PULSE camerupt)actually pretty fun once I realized I could play around with the field and the mega torkoal could get one shot by toedscruel
a classic.
>>59643859hmmm can't really say if i've done any boss derailments recently if we're disqualifying anything to do with splintered stormshards or bennett & laura instalosing when the weather's changed, as usualjust thought of that time I beat Amber in v13 using talonflame spam but I think that was intended via volcanic top field buffing flying types and tailwind and gale wings and talonflame happening to be a fire resistant tailwind setting gale wings useraside from spamming stuff i wasn't expected to i don't think i've had any memorable wins where i got them from turning some condition set by the enemy against themas opposed to just bringing a team designed to fight on its terms like in normal gameplay, or in the case of rejuv bringing whatever approved mons there are for a given fight/fieldor my favorite cheese method of underleveled volcaronas. that's always a classic.
>>59643877>i don't think i've had any memorable wins where i got them from turning some condition set by the enemy against themI noticed I tend to just go full offense if I'm doing a normal run. which is, as you might expect, pretty boring, but when I do monos I tend to find contrived ways to win. "limitation breeds creativity," or whateverthat's kinda why I find monos more fun than regular runs, even if sometimes things get super bullshit
hate this field so much
got very lucky with misses, and discharge fully paralyzing multiple times
>>59643809>>59643791>>59643780>>59643748>>59643745Thanks anons super helpful. I still might try a mono anyways on my first run through and if I get filtered I get filtered it'll at least be a learning experience. Usually if I do a normal run I end up gravitating to the same recurring pokemon that I find reliable and it limits how much I have to strategize or git gud. Its either reborn or do another rejuv run as monotype which might make me want to uninstall the game halfway through. If a monotype is really fucking with me and I am enjoying the game otherwise I guess I can always just pussy out of the monotype midway through and enjoy the rest of the game normally
surprising first try. forgot you fight him the second you enter Aya's gym>>59643974good luck! might be a good idea to check allgen mod. on the lowest difficulty, you get to catch 'mons from older gens, but everything else about the game is vanilla. more options is always neat for monoscustom megas are also completely optional, and you can check everything on a doc that comes with the mod
last fight for tonightnot too hard after changing the field and spamming protect grass monos made me appreciate abomasnow so much. love 'em
>>59643784Not fun but Pokémon Décimation exists
