About This Club

The Club where all future information and releases of Desolation can be found!
  1. What's new in this club
  2. i want to ask a question about Nova, if you decided to not give trust to her after the confrontation with Darkrai, the only negative effect after you fight the eighth gym leader is not receiving gothita or there's others consequences planned for the future?
  3. Persian for me. I happened to pick a meowth up in Keneph Caves since it was shiny and miraculously Connor didn’t reduce it to cave dust. I ended up really liking the Siamese coloring and it had technician, so it ended up a staple on my team. Surprisingly it carried me through some important battles to the end of E6!
  4. No worries, same for me actually! The month of March sure has been quite crazy. Now that things are chill I’ll start checking the site more frequently. Anywhooo, onto the interesting stuff! At minimum two endings, at max, I’d guess four. That seems like a reasonable amount. Twenty sounds like a daunting task…I mean unless they go the joke-ending route or count the Bad Ends in that total. But hey if they wanna be utterly ambitious and shoot for that, I’ll be rooting for them! The cool thing about story splits is that assuming a split of some sort does occur, said split should be happening soon. There are four more badges left before Victory Road and the showdown with the Elite Three Four. Same thing for the endings. It’s gonna be really exciting to see what choices/consequences/surprises will be in store for us going forward. Correct me if I’m wrong, didn’t Nova insinuate her waning powers were due to Aurora (it’s been a hot minute lol)? She’s totally lucky either way. Nova is already a thorn in her/Darkrai’s side. All they need is for Nova to have her powers. Aurora would be in for a bad time. Haha true. Time to commit some fairly illegal things with Lilith for the good of the region! They are…the tears of fans are the most precious of treasures. The sweetest treat a writer could ask for. Right? After Ryder and Cedric nab Lilith, they need to set their sights on Waldenhall. He’s being a menace to priceless historical sites…and modern society. To the dungeons with him. Haha understandable, Jarred is quite a lot for any one of us mortals. Will do, I’ll most likely have finished the dating sim the next time I post! That’d be quite an exciting way to introduce E7 . Garret was doing something silly like holding the map upside-down or mixing up the location names and that’s how they ended up in said predicament. Absolutely! Maybe I’m a bit of a weirdo but a 20-30 page research paper on Perfection or Ayrith’s history dripping with snarky notes left by those two sounds like a great read to me. Oh we will lol. By the time we’re done Shiv’s gonna have quite a background. Just look at our wonderful headcanons of Aurora and Darkrai we have going on . In all seriousness, I’m sure some of their cryptic past will be revealed if that journal in the Waterscape is anything to go by. Just gotta bide our time and wait, we’ll be rewarded soon enough. I believe the Fire/Dragon user is Atlas and that’d be so amusing. That’s totally how he greets any trainer who just traversed Victory Road and has finally arrived at the League proper. Damien would be off in some dark corner or cool patch of shade, scoffing at the pair of them. To be honest that’d be pretty impressive though…being able to strut about in full regalia without turning into a human puddle. Wonder what else Deso will have you add to your resume . That definitely seems like Shiv’s style, especially since they are Foxes. If it were information he’s seeking then I’d hazard a guess and say that the info pertains to Perfection (or I suppose Nova’s location since he was searching for her on Bountilia later on…guess it depends on when this negotiation took place).
  5. I've been posting these in the mod market, I figured I should also post it in the Desolation forum. Also, like this I can have all my mods in one place.

  6. Sorry for the delay, it's been a very hectic week. I agree, there's definitely a lot of potential re: story splits. I do think the story will likely have multiple endings, but probably only four or five, like Rejuv- even if there's potential for like twenty endings, I doubt the devs would go with that. Honestly, Aurora's lucky that Nova's powers are waning/failing, or I wouldn't put it past Nova to use her powers to screw with Aurora's head just for the sake of it. I think the 'crime' part is pretty implicit with Lilith, LMAO. They love our tears. They taste like candy. Arson, desecration of historical objects/a historical site and offending historians worldwide. The bastard. I don't think my brain can handle the Jarred, but let me know how it goes for you. That's how E7 starts: the protagonist, Garret and Emily managed to get lost because Garret screwed up somehow. We immediately have to prevent them from strangling each other. I feel like the drafts would either be full of snarky notes where they're criticising each other's writing, or just full of arguments about the most minor details. And by God, if the devs don't tell us we'll make it up ourselves. I bet that one Elite Four who likes Fire-types (Damien?) likes to walk around outside in full regalia just to show how tough/immune he is, while Azura calls him a freak. *reluctantly adds 'grave-botherer' to my resume* There's always the possibility that Shiv's trying to get as much information possible while feeding the Foxes/Crescent/God knows who else disinformation. He seems like that kind of sneaky.
  7. It's an easter egg for interacting with a normally unreachable Pokemon NPC, if I remember correctly PS: I recommend saving before trying it
  8. As the question says, really. Any Pokemon that gets you through the game or at least the plot important battles? Or that you really wanted to get into the party as soon as you could, really.
  9. That is one answer I don’t have/recall, unfortunately. That’s a really good question though. Maybe the answer is floating around somewhere? If not it's definitely a great question to ask. Given the trend of endings/splits in the Rebornverse, and the choices already present within Deso I’d hazard a guess and say it’s pretty likely that Deso will end up with at least the very least two actual endings (not including the Bad endings). That’s just my assumption though. It makes me wonder how a story split will go. We’ve already had several important story choices and a bad ending. There's quite a lot of potential for one. Ya know…I totally forgot about moves like Heal Pulse. Adding that to the list of potentials! Right? It isn’t like the three of them are any old pawns either. There’s totally a vested interest in keeping them around. The illusion idea is pretty neat and would fit much better with Darkrai and its displayed current abilities. If that’s the case I can’t wait for Aurora to see Nova alive and well later on. She’s in for a surprise. Just like I was. I really like that idea! The protagonist and Lilith go from enemies to an uneasy truce, to partners in crime (minus the crime…maybe). Earning Crescent's or Lilith’s trust would be my go-to thoughts for what the Perfection check will entail. Hopefully traversing the Canyon will provide a few more clues for a more definitive answer going forward. Most likely. After all, that is what every great author/writer does, yeah? Spend countless hours plotting how to achieve the most amount of suffering for all. Yep yep, the Canyon and the priests seem like treasure troves of information! So looking forward to it :) Seriously, of all the things he’s done he had to add arson to the list as well. Quite unnecessary lol. Omg that’s amazing. Thanks Cervys for gracing the world with these gems! Jarred absolutely deserves this spotlight. Also thank you for bringing this to my attention! I must check these out, they sound like a grand ol’ time. I know what I'll be doing with my free-time xD. Haha, they really are. Alrighty, the protagonist just needs to take a quick trip to Aevium and recruit Talon to the cause. He’s a chill dude and perfect for the job of charting those uncharted islands we’ll undoubtedly visit in the future. Until then the protagonist will just keep on winging it and hopefully won’t get lost in the process! Aurora and Darkrai make for such a great duo IMO. Shiv should watch out, Aurora and Darkrai could make waves in the academic world. Imagine if the protagonist finds a few drafts of theirs scattered around Ayrith. Quite a way to learn about the region. Just you wait Shiv, you and your enigmatic origins will be uncovered one day. Count on it. Yeppers, it is on a volcano according to one of those pamphlets on the cruise ship. Hydreilius Volcano to be exact. Can only imagine what the cooling bill for the league must be lol. Also, R.I.P. little pamphlets….your valuable contents will be sorely missed. At least until another fount of information regarding Hydreilius shows up. Haha better bring some offerings so that the dearly departed don’t mind the disturbances! Luckily there aren’t thatttt many tombstones in Deso…excluding the ones in the Weeping Depths that is. Shouldn’t take too long to scour every major tombstone. They are certainly worth a gander, there always seem to be some neat little tidbits on tombstones in these games. Quite. If Shiv is involved, I’d agree. I totally suspect he must be playing the Foxes too. Makes me wonder what his ‘negotiation’ with the Foxes involved. He seems to always be in the know so it’s hard to imagine it’s for information of some kind.
  10. Hi Everyone, Title kind of speaks for itself. I was wondering if it's possible to get the shiny pokemon you receive in trades (like the Elekid you get in exchange for a Rolycoly in Celeste City). I've been resetting for it for a while and it's pretty fast to do. I have the shiny charm as well so the odds should be around 1/33. I've gone over this many times. Just wondering if I'm unlucky or wasting my time. Edit: Forgot to mention. I assume you'd see if it's shiny in the trade screen already. If that's not the case do tell me please :) Edit 2: Decided to just keep going and I eventually got it! You do see it in the trade screen already.
  11. I talked to Rosetta again accidentally being a button masher & when she asked me if I didn't want to do it I replied "no" because in my dumb brain I was thinking double negative = I still want to do it so I couldn't get the archives key. But I debugged it in once I got to the underground library because I didn't want to put in all this work for nothing. Will this mess up my game in the future? I'm going back & finishing all the side quests I forgot atm. Sorry if this sounds dumb I'm just really pissed at myself I've been trying to do everything right so far & idk what to do.
  12. Hmmm. Speaking of outcomes, I wonder, do you by any chance happen to recall any mention of how many endings Desolation might have? I know Rejuvenation will have four, and Reborn had the postgame split. Since (IIRC) Deso will only have ten episodes, maybe the devs might have mentioned it? It's true that people can survive a lot of stabbing, especially if Aurora didn't manage to hit anything vital. (Or for all we know, Nova had a mon using Heal Pulse on her somewhere.) But I actually really like your idea that Darkrai was somehow responsible. Not sure if it could actually heal Nova, but maybe it used some kind of illusion power on Aurora so she thought she stabbed/killed Nova, but didn't actually do it? I agree that Darkrai would get a bit miffed if one of its pawns shanked another, so it would have a vested interest in making sure that didn't happen. Those are fantastic ideas, but I'll add another one- maybe it's with Lilith, to get her on our side. If we prove we know enough about Perfection, it might convince her that we can be trusted/we're an ally that's worth sticking with. Somewhere, the devs are plotting which character to make us love before giving them a depressing fate (or making a new character entirely). They want us to suffer. True, the priests are absolutely a good potential source of information. And Waldenhall definitely needs to lay off on the arson of priceless historical sites, once was bad enough. (I would punch him myself for that, if I could.) Oh, God. Speaking of Jarred, today I discovered that not only did some mad lad make a dating sim of him ( , the same mad lad made a mod of Deso where everything is Jarred ( Maps are awesome. Everyone loves maps. I'd totally be down for a detailed Ayrith map. (Someone call Talon, lmao.) Darkrai winds up as Aurora's research assistant. They co-author numerous papers on the history of Ayrith. They make a surprisingly good, but utterly terrifying combination. Somewhere, Shiv is laughing at us for thinking we could understand him and his origins. I forgot about the League being on a volcano, actually. I thought it was a mountain? I'm going to have to comb over every tombstone in the game, aren't I... True... Aurora does seem like the most likely option there... or maybe Shiv's just playing the Foxes too?
  13. Alrighty, I’m back after that slight delay! Happy to be of service~ Yeah, honestly the cast deserves the best possible outcome. Especially Tristan and Hardy, I’m holding out hope for those two. At least they will get that in your save (assuming the situation doesn’t nosedive later on)! It isn’t out of the realm of possibility she could survive an attack like that, but it was certainly framed as a death in the game, and man she bounced back rather quickly. Wonder if it has anything to do with her bubbly personality xD. In all seriousness, they aren’t normal that’s for sure. Could be that they aren’t entirely human. Someone, quick, call the X-Men XD. Tristan, at least the one the protagonist knew, is confirmed to be some fabrication of Darkrai’s that can enter reality. And some entity, which may or may not be some person who lost their physical body, is now roaming Ayrith. So, there are non-human entities in the story. Although that begs the question, what exactly would they be? They certainly aren’t fabrications like Tristan and Perfection doesn’t seem to grant those sorts of powers, as far as we know. I dunno exactly what they could be. Nova was able to siphon off Aurora’s power and seems to have some sort of connection to Lilith so she may be special to some degree. Could the reason behind her survival be because she yoinked a part of Aurora’s power at some point? Oh! What if it’s a part of Darkrai’s influence over them? It’d be quite unfortunate for Darkrai to lose one of its pawns to something out of its control like a stabbing for instance. If it can exert a level of control over them who’s to say it’s not able to make sure they don’t kick the bucket too early? There’s also the possibility Aurora didn’t hit anything vital, and Nova patched herself up ASAP (or maybe Shiv patched her up and once she was stable, she fled). She then took time to recover from the wound in the Dreamscape. Time flows differently in the Dreamscape, especially when a person’s physical body is there. Which could allow her to be up and at em by the time Darkrai entered Ayrith. It seems likely it’ll be for another check of some sort. It doesn’t seem like having more knowledge about Perfection affects it in any sort of way so that doesn’t seem very likely. Proving a falsehood or demonstrating our knowledge of Perfection could work. My first thoughts would be involving Crescent or Hardy. The insight gained could prove to Baron that yeah, the protagonist is now in the loop about Perfection and that they have a mutual goal of stopping Waldenhall. Or to convince Hardy nothing good is gonna come from subjecting his Zoroark to Perfection and that he should aid the Darkrai Destroyer Squad instead. Completely, I’m not ruling out any sort of trickery, brainwashing, or otherwise lol. Haha absolutely, that’s a bit of an understatement there xD. The preparations for the riot are underway as we speak juuuuuust in case it comes to pass lol. Seriously though, first Tristan and then Hardy. That’d be absolutely brutal, exciting but brutal. Totally can feel my heart fracturing just thinking about it For sure. They are also journal entries - a collection of the author’s personal thoughts and perspectives on the situation. Embellishment or downplaying what went on could very well have happened. Definitely, with Lilith’s absence, she may come back with some new knowledge of the situation. And Waldenhall is quite capable, he could very well track down yet another fount of knowledge. I’m just hoping Waldenhall doesn’t go torching the next historical discovery he stumbles across. I’m most looking forward to the Kanzen Priests. If they come from the same priests as the ones mentioned in the entries, they could have some stories or records about what happened back then. That’s as certain as the sky being blue! I don’t think the protagonist would ever hear the end of it from those three, especially Garret. It would be! I can see Jarred appearing from nowhere on a Ranger sidequest and striking up a conversation about Majira. Except he keeps referring to Majira as Majora for no explainable reason then peaces out. Yep, we haven’t got an extensive map of Ayrith yet. The smaller islands like Ruby or Bountilia are always shown as disconnected when they are visited. It’s quite probable many more islands will be available later on. Which also means more places for legendaries to be hiding! Honestly, it’d be pretty cool to see a map of the Ayrith region in its entirety. Maybe one day we will be graced with one (totally not cause I have ulterior motives and really enjoy maps or anything...). Assuming Darkrai doesn’t perish or end up sealed away again I’d say that would be a fitting end for it. Arceus knows Darkrai deserves it after all that it’s done. I’d also hope it could achieve some level of atonement with them as its keepers. Totally. Fabricated memories could go any number of ways, depending on who is doing the fabricating and for what reasons. I pretty much agree with any of those. With so little information to go on it's definitely on the list of possibilities. And with it already being difficult enough trying to discern fact from fiction when it comes to those two… who’s to say this isn’t the case? Hydreilius could be water-related. Hydr is a Greek root that means water so maybe it is. It also kinda reminds me of Hydreigon. Which isn’t water-related but is quite similar to Hydreilius. Or it could just be an island with a really cool-sounding name. Which I can say for certain it is. Hydreilius…sounds like an awesome place to live! Outside of the name we know the island houses another volcano which the league sits on top of, Hakari City. And of course, the gym leader Kairo. Not a lot to go on but maybe we’ll get a bit more in v7. I wonder what type of festivals they hold. It’d be interesting to arrive on Hydreilius while one is underway. Very true, seems much more preferable than dwelling on that depressing note. They are. The tombstones are a bit of an early hint at the connection between the four of them. So that last one must be linked in a similar fashion. The next character that we come across whose name starts with Si is officially on my sketch-as-heck list. That’s the impression I had of it when reading through that again. Although I don’t recall both twins striking deals with the Foxes/Amelia. What was the negotiation about? When did it take place? The only other option I could think of was the whole Aurora thing lol.
  14. Something I found in the Battle_AI.rb in the scripts folder. I think this is unintended, since it means the AI will only think that Swagger boosts attack by 1 stage instead of 2.
  15. If you stand on this stair you can't walk to the left/down of it
  16. She should be standing right next to the reception. Straight up when you enter the building.
  17. Currently playing 6.0.12 Have beaten the nidoking in the sewers. Spoken to the police chief. But can't find Rosetta in the battle tournament building where she was sitting. Is she in some other spot or is this a bug?
  18. An update to my own inquiry above! As of right now, it seems most of the mods that are compatible with the current version of Rejuvenation (13.5) also work fine with Desolation! I haven't tested a huge amount, but IIRC I only ran into startup issue with a single one (which I unfortunately can't remember), so do your own testing for the ones you want to use, and share results if you feel like it!
  19. In Serenity's Companion quest some of the Sawsbuck do not update the quest log ( mainly the left ones as far as I checked, although the right ones seem to do so.)
  20. any idea how to evolve the feebas i just got, or is it not in the game yet?
  21. We salute you for your service. You are doing a great and valiant job. (I also love extra dialogue, I just feel this compulsion to make sure that the characters get as good a deal as possible.) Hmmm. I wonder, maybe Nova really is immortal... she and the twins are already Special, so maybe they're not entirely human? (Maybe this is when the X-Men all turn up, lmao.) Yeah, it does seem that the first insight was about the Dreamscape/Darkrai and the second is about Perfection. As to what the latter might be for... well, my best bet is another check, but as for what, I don't know. Maybe we'll have to prove a falsehood or show that we know more about Perfection than what someone else says? More brainwashing is certainly possible, given who we're dealing with... It would be pretty hilarious, though. Everyone just sits there looking awkwardly at each other, and then Ava finally says "I think we have a problem." The fandom's probably going to riot if Hardy gets a bad ending, especially after what happened to Tristan, lmao. I don't think the journal's author was outright lying, but I'm betting that they were embellishing or deliberately downplaying things. I imagine we'll eventually get some more accurate sources, whether it's from Lilith, Waldenhall, the priests or somewhere else, so that should be interesting. It's just going to be non-stop complaining from all of them afterwards, lol. God, I want there to be a reference to Majora at least once, kid or no kid. It'd just be funny. On that note, we haven't been shown a really extensive map of Ayrith yet, have we? Like, I know we've seen one that shows the major islands, but not the minor ones, right? So we don't know just how many islands there could be? I doubt that the player would accept Darkrai on their team, but I could see Shiv or Aurora doing so in order to lord it over Darkrai. A fabricated memory would be really interesting, especially since I could see multiple candidates: parents who wanted to get rid of them, parents who wanted to keep them safe, someone who knew what they could do and wanted to put them somewhere where they couldn't do too much damage... or maybe one of them brainwashed the other two and then themselves for some reason. It's possible, is all I'm saying. To me, 'Hydreilius' sounds like 'hydraulics', so... IDK, maybe waterworks? I mean, at least it gives him something to think about other than 'my life was a lie and this place sucks'? Now there's an idea... those tombstones really are food for thought. Hmmm... calling it 'Twin Negotiation' implies to me that both twins were involved, but I do see how that could work...
  22. I hear ya. Totally the same way, especially when it involves kind characters like Scarlett. Poor girl doesn’t deserve that. Siding with Nova, letting Scarlett die, and then Aurora going stab-happy absolutely killed me…I actually like Nova too, so I felt awfully villainous for that. On the other hand, I really enjoy extra dialogue and morbid curiosity drives me…which seems to outweigh my guilt (and there’s a lot of guilt XD). At least I can take one for the team in the name of uncovering the truth! Haha I actually did too, I remember seeing quite a few posts saying that so this was a surprise. Granted this is just based on my experiences but it seems that way. I’ve tried several ways (giving Nova the stone then failing to read Auora’s dairy entry/siding with Aurora and giving Shiv the stone then failing to read Auora’s dairy entry/siding with Aurora). In the end, she still appears and helps out the gang, unless I’m missing something. My earlier thought about the twins being immortal? Nah, Nova’s the immortal one. She won’t die for me lol. Insight might represent the culmination of all knowledge regarding the hocus pocus that’s going on in Ayrith, Dreamscape and all. The cracks of the dream were but one fraction of the bigger picture. My guess is that the insight we gained in v6 might not be a continuation of the old insight (or at least a continuation of the cracks in the dream). Instead, the insight gained is new and most likely knowledge of other mysteries. Mysteries about Perfection and the twins. One interesting thing about it is the difference in insight text color. Insight pertaining to the cracks in the dream were a fuchsia color. The knowledge of perfection that Crescent had in their hideout was a blue. Although I dunno if this does count towards the insight value given its difference in phrasing so that’s up in the air. And the insight from Shiv's journal about their powers engulfing them and their respective blue and red dreams is a lighter shade of purple. These distinctions between colors might represent those other mysteries the MC is uncovering. We may not get insight checked regarding those cracks but maybe a check for knowledge of Perfection? Like…the more information we have about Perfection the protagonist can obtain Perfection themselves. Or maybe we’ll discover some more old journals and figure out what’s going on with the twins. Which may end up giving the protagonist a way to knock some sense into those two if enough insight has been found. That’s just my interpretation of the insight at least. Given what’s going on with everyone who’s working for Darkrai, maybe it really will turn out to be a case of brainwashing. Darkrai goes Perfection mode and a lot more insight would be required to fend off Darkrai. Failure to do so could result in some Pulse level Hypno brainwashing or something. But Darkrai pulling quiz out of no-where would be kinda fun actually xD Especially some game-show style quiz. In the end, the society will be comprised of most of the cast. That would be quite an awkward meeting, wouldn’t it? Hardy’s situation, whether he will perish in the end or not, does work well as a tragic commentary and doubles as a gut-wrench if he does bite the dust. It’s both, definitely both. I absolutely agree with the fact the journal’s author could be an unreliable narrator. In fact, I’d be surprised if they weren’t. There is a vast level of egotism and bias oozing from those entries. Especially if the author is revealed to be the entity. I’m betting some details were left out for sure. I do think they can still serve as a rough estimation of what went down back then. Their information about Perfection tracks with what we know about Perfection so far. And there is the fact the Settler’s Ruins is hidden underneath a statue which implies a level of secrecy or not wanting to be found. There seems to be a degree of truth to those entries at least. It really would be. What a way to raise the stakes for the protagonist, making the situation even more personal than it already is. Even if the protag doesn’t end up causing a Perfection plague whatever is gonna happen it’s not gonna be very good for the cast. It’ll be equal parts exciting and worrisome. Honestly might be the safest spot for Garret at this point. Plus, Rosetta and Aaron get to do something finally, it’s a win-win! If Majira had a kid and their name isn’t Majora I’m gonna be disappointed lol. I would love to see that reveal just to see everyone’s reactions to that. Best protagonist secret power ever. Puppy dog eyes. No wonder why the protag is so persuasive. Omg yeah. Here I am talking about Ruby, Bronze, and Bountilia Islands but totally forgetting that there could be other islands. There is quite a possibility they may also be found on some other tiny islands we’ll be able to go to at some point. Yeahhh chances are it won’t be thee Darkrai with the way the story is heading (besides would the protagonist even accept Darkrai as part of their team after all that it has done?). Maybe another one (or some copy) will be in the Dreamscape. Ooh that could be. Maybe their powers weren’t as stable back then and they just don’t remember. I like that idea. The only other thing I could think of is the whole “disappearing parents” thing is just a fabricated memory. It really does, which fits for a place called Arcanius. Makes me wonder what’s gonna go down on Hydreilius Island. That’s kinda sad if so. He’s just gonna be fiddling around with a fictitious fragment for who knows how long, making no progress whatsoever. True, gotta start somewhere. Huh, what if the last gravestone in the Weeping Hill that’s all scratched up doesn’t belong to the entity but instead the first dreamer Darkrai found. There’s the bit in Cellia North during the Fox raid where we can look through a folder called Midnight. In Amelia’s file, it lists a bunch of activities that Amelia was a part of, ranging from the cruise ship incident and Addenfall to some Darkroot situation. One of the events listed in Amelia’s list is the Twin Negotiation event [redacted]. I’m blanking on what that one could be. Was it when the Foxes were in contact with Aurora when she was searching for Nova? Not exactly sure how it’d pan out but it’d sure be pretty interesting nonetheless!
