Sometimes, I am actually terrified of what my brain is capable of. 

While creating some plot for my fanmade game, there is one specific, old dialogue that now has gotten my attention. Especially, this part:

Quote

(...) But then... everything changed 30 years ago. More specifically, during the day of the the fifteen anniversary of my Championship reign. 

A mysterious event occurred in the neighboring region, west of Sacroc. At the time, no one was certain who, or what, had been responsible... yet the damage was truly terryfing, with the region being split into four. The causalities also were massive, both in infrastructure... and in humans... 

...oh, forgive me <player> - recalling those memories are gruesome... in fact, one of my closer friends was one of the victims of it, as she had tried to-... No, she wouldn't accept me... 

(...)

{the moment when he tries to control himself} 

(...)

Believe it or not, <player>, the catastrophe was about to strike this region too. Fortunately, it has stopped before going deeper into land, with it only managing to grasp the western coast, tearing over the absorbed piece of land between Grand Strait and Viadra River, creating currently known Viadra Strait. People and Pokemon of Sacroc Region were thanking Gods for their assistance and protection... the same couldn't be said about our friends. 

Of course, we did our best to assist them in regaining the region... But as of right now, it still is separated. We were doing our best, but it wasn't enough. Which, if we think about it <player>, is the perfect analogy of my entire reign. 

They have worked around it, however, and despite region still being in four, it is more united than it has ever been. Yet, the events of it are still engraved into minds of both regions, which are currently known as "The Great Calamity". 

(...) {and then he talks about times after his retirement from Champion spot} 

I bet some of you know where this is going, but step by step. The man talking in here is Vultus - in-game, he's Supervisor of Sacroc Pokemon League, advisor of Prince (that is title, not name), and former Sacroc Grand Champion, having perhaps one of the longest reigns of all Grand Champions in the known Pokemon world (both canon and fanmade), reigning for 40 years before ultimately retiring, 5 years before the events of "Pokemon Heaven and Hell" {he's in game 89 years old, btw}. 

That dialogue (used in main post-game quest) was created, according to my sources, in February 2021 (or earlier, because there is written a last date of editing on it). So then I have known about Reborn... but not Rejuvenation. And, the region neighboring with Sacroc... might actually be Aevium. 

According to KingInfernal's "Geography and Timeline of Reborn and Aevium (which is VERY BASED on canon data and devs' claims), Storm-9 had split Aevium into four sub-regions 40 years before events of Rejuvenation. Now, math lesson

• Rejuvenation has begun 21 years after the events in Kanto Region. 
• Which means Storm-9 (also known as "The Calamity") happened 18 years before Kanto (and not 19 years, because @KingInfernal has counted Kanto events as "Year 0", then has forgotten about it in the calculations) 
• Vultus claimed that "The Great Calamity" had happened 30 years before the events, so events of "Heaven and Hell", on this timeline, happened on Year 12/13, after Alola events. 
  • It is said that events of Sacroc Region began shortly after Pokemon World Championship, during Oscar (one of the major NPCs) had participated. And PWC happened shortly after Galarian Star Tournament (in that universe). Unfortunately, neither Infernal nor myself can put SwSh on the timeline due to lack of legacy characters and no seemingly connections to other regions. So, this actually is on our benefit, not having to bother with another layer of complications 
  • That connects with my fanfic (which isn't canon to either Sacroc nor Reborn games), where Oscar is said to have arrived to Reborn around half a year after Sacroc protagonist has become new Champion, and since Reborn is said to happen around Year 13/14 (that calculating mistake surely mixes things up), that matches up... almost perfectly

Not enough?

Vultus had admitted to lost dear friend, who has apparently "sacrificed herself to "minimize the casualties" "... Whatever was that supposed to mean... And also she seemingly wouldn't accept him lamenting over her. 

While there's nowhere written more about her, I assume that could be Vivian, which did sacrifice herself to stop Storm-9. She would be around 67-69 if she was living in Rejuvenation. So there's a gap... LARGE age gap... But that wouldn't stop them from being friends - two kind, passionate, never-lying spirits associating with nature. 

That ain't much, BUT... there's more - perhaps the strongest potential connection.

Aevium is said to be (somewhat) bordering with Kalos, and be approximately close to Galar. Also, split into 4 parts. Since Kalos is France, and Galar is United Kingdom, then Aevium could be... Germany

Germany is bordering with France, quite close to UK, and the four pieces could symbolize events of May 1945, where III Reich was split into four spheres of influence: French, British, American, and Soviet. And it had taken 44 years to reunite completely. Still, in 1985 (40 years after), both Western and Eastern Germany were quite close to each other, just like Aevian sub-regions. 

And if we use real-life geography to locate Pokemon regions, then if Aevium is Germany (approximately; in terms of location), then... Aevium and Sacroc are neighboring - Sacroc is based on Poland, and it's western neighbor IS Germany. Meaning "The Great Calamity" Vultus was talking about, was Aevium's Storm-9. 

So that can wrap things up. 

I still cannot get over the fact I have created this, and... it somehow connects almost perfectly, despite not knowing anything about Rejuvenation or Aevium or... anything. 

That really freaked me out during discovering - just like when I realized I can see future while sleeping. Like... The exact events from future appear in my dreams, and I keep having that "deja-vu" from time to time.

I have watched playthoughs of Pokemon Colosseum and XD while planing on essays... and realized something I hadn't previously (because English is not my native/first language and I'm stupid) 

Spoilers Ahead: 

Like... Whoa! Why can't they do such actions more often?!

Spoilers Ahead: 

Like... Whoa! Why can't they do such actions more often?! 

To quote Rose from Juno Songs' cover 

"It... pains me to have to do this... 

But you leave me no choice"

After I fought with a Trainer who had FULL TEAM of OU Legendaries, I've legitimately ragequit after the battle (which I've barely won, with some luck and their really stupid decisions like outright using Psychic on Hydreigon), and decided: "Fine! You wanna see me using Legends! I WILL be using Legends!" 

Since I've reset my old W/L record (I had a winrate of only 45%, but only because I haven't reset it earlier, because when I first played competitive, I sucked so much that my winrate was pathetically low), every Trainer had at least 2 OU Legendaries (expect one - a Trick Room specialist - who I had fought twice; once I lost with his one Pokemon standing, and the other I won with my one Pokemon standing; he was having only Cresselia). 

I know that many (and myself) call this cheap and so on... but I was so livid that I've decided to do it myself. After all, two can play that game, huh? 

I know that having two Pseudo-Legendaries would already put me on the aim for hate, technically using 4 Legendary Pokemon... But there's a reason why everyone are salty about Legendaries and Ultra Beasts, and not Pseudos. Moreover, after returning to competitive, my team consisted of only two true OU Pokemon - Tyranitar and Skarmory. The other three (Hydreigon, Scizor and Chandelure) are UU, while Megas were UUBL at best. So I think it's fair for me 

With Pokemon Refraction, I've created new Megas, new Gigantamax Pokemon, and new Z-Moves. Will people like this?

Honestly, I feel I shouldn't ask, but I have to. 

Do you think that if I used Legendary Pokemon eligible for OU (or lower tiers) in competitive battles, would that be... "unfair"? 

This may sound weird, but if we consider many Legendary are being constantly complained about, especially likes of Lando-T or Tapus, I am afraid of using them because I don't wanna be called "meta slave" nor see they saying that I've only won because of that Legend, and can't play properly. Of course, those are said by players whos team are stacked with those and Uber-worthy Pokemon. 

Okay, straight to the point - I can't find a fitting Mega for my team. And I'm beginning to wonder if I should return to using Mega Tyranitar (either bulky full offense or fast Dragon Dancer), and then fill the last spot with Legendary of sorts. Or other Pokemon whos quite strong or can work well in Sandstorm, like Excadrill. 

To be fair, I'm not switching out any of the previously mentioned: Skarmory, Scizor, Tyranitar, Hydreigon and Chandelure, as all of them are doing a great work, and synergize very well with each other. I simply wanna hear your opinions.

All this time, I have played online Gen 7 metagame... that I forgot that none of my Pokemon was holding Z-Crystal. 

To be fair, that wasn't exactly necessary, as I have... around 75% winrate, I think. Maybe closer to 80%, I wasn't counting. But I do wonder if I should use Z-Crystal. And if yes, then on whom...? 

Currently my team is: 

• Occa Berry Scizor 
• Aguav Berry Skarmory 
• Smooth Rock/Chople Berry Tyranitar 
• Choice Scarf Chandelure 
• Life Orb Hydreigon 
• rotating Mega (formerly Aerodactyl, now Steelix, with possible Manectric joining) 

And if some Pokemon could have Crystal, then it's either Tyranitar or Hydreigon, in my opinion, as Skarmory won't do shit with Z-Move, Megas can't have Z-Crystals (except Rayquaza who's too broken; even for Ubers), Occa Berry saves Scizor from unexpected Hidden Power Fire (a few times it helped me win 6-0 with just Scizor), and Choice Scarf Chandelure is a beast. 

Still, Tyranitar and Hydreigon are good enough with their original sets. So I wonder if it's necessary to give them Z-Crystal. And what do you guys think?

So, I came put to all of you. Then I came out to my school. That probably wasn't the smartest decision.

I've barely returned from an entire day in the university... And somehow I'd become an inspiration and assistance of this forums' a few veterans? 

...Am I really that charismatic? Or it's something else? I can't really put my finger on it.

Huh. I feel like I’ve been left behind. Curse my own uselessness of creating a fanmade Pokemon game. Because I don’t have knowledge of making it. I wish things could have gone differently. It’s just like I’m becoming back just a normal veteran without any talents. Well, except that I’m currently posting "Protagonist can talk" in every weekend. I must admit that @Oscarus was right about me. I should have boosted my self-esteem from beginning while I had the chance at a very long time ago. If it were to be the case, I could have started to create fanmade game.
