Iirc, the check is not in the run save file, but in the meta save file Game.dat. It goes in the same directory as the regular save files. Game.dat

Sure, allow me one tiny thing because I just don't the point god across: "Sirius" is an alias for Vitus, no doubt about it, but in that message, I think Clear used it less in a literal way and more in a "The Grim Reaper is coming! Mwahaha!" way.

Before this spirals out of control, when I'm talking about negligence and sabotage, I'm not accusing you, I'm accusing Nymiera and Admin. I'm saying that, if they simply did not mention Vitus, that would be negligence, but their act of deleting names from the records is an act on sabotage.

Have you played Renegade? M2 is literally evil Melia from a parallel timeline, Melanie from the Doomed Timeline is also another evil Melia from a parallel timeline. Who can say there's not an E2 or an A2 or an M2 bis around? And Madam X also has an Yveltal she calls "Father", just like Melanie. MC and Melia are also time travelers, why can't they just save Vivian, then? Because you can't go around saving/killing random people at random times and expect the timeline to go the way you need to, the same reason applies to both who fights for the future and who fights for oblivion. Also, just like Nymiera, Indriad has existed since the dawn of the world, at some point he must have had enough free time to figure out where the envoys come from. Assuming you're correct and Vitus did in fact kill Taelia and Nora, he got the wrong target. How is someone capable of making a pocket dimension on a whim also not capable of finding a way to figure out which of two people is an envoy if he spent a good chunk of his life fighting them? How did it not occur to him to wait a couple minutes to confirm the kill, knowing that if he got the wrong target he'd instantly reincarnate? Why didn't he come back to finish the job as soon as he got the news that Kenneth somehow still has a daughter or Nora's age? How much can we even trust Kenneth's memory of the whole thing, since Clear didn't even bother showing her hand on Taelia's final words? That just doesn't add up. The only real conclusion is that, whoever raided Kenneth didn't do it with the goal of killing Taelia, but with the one of Aelita to be born. It's Clear we're talking about, deception and acting are her thing. "Sirious" doesn't have to mean literally Vitus the guy, it can be literally Yveltal but controlled by someone else, or it can be just a figure for death. Giving you cherry picked and manipulated evidence so that you "get to" the predetermined conclusion is something sociopaths do all the time. If they were being genuine, they could have simply not censored the name, yet they went out of their way to do it. Conveniently forgetting to mention a name is still negligence, but censoring out of records is active sabotage. If they're not sure if MC knows who VItus is, that's one more reason to actually say the damn name. Also, what Nymiera definitely knows is that MC is well acquainted with some people who are named "Theolia", it's completely unreasonable for them to at last not expect the MC to at least have hared that name in passing. Nymiera, as the host of Xerneas, is fighting for life, not peace. Even in the official Pokémon games both life and death led to the Ultimate Weapon, just in different timelines. No, it's not that simple: if you want to win a game of basketball and you're indifferent to killing, you still won't kill your opponents because there would no longer be a basketball game to win. What is simple is a two pieces jigsaw puzzle, eerily simple. Madam X calls her Yveltal "fahter", just like Melanie. If Madam X is not a Theolia, it has to be a red herring, not by Madam X, who has an history of being genuine as long as she's not in the middle to a fight to the dead, however cryptic her words may be at times, but directly from the writers. Let's say Madam X is an interceptor, but Karma needs Team Xen to not be a thing. Karma can simply manipulate the people around Madam X so that there's never a Nastasia, there's never a Geara, there's never a Neved, there's never a Zetta, and there are no grunts, there would simply not be a Team Xen. What does it mean? That Team Xen either exists because Karma needs it to, or because a force that's at least Karma's equal does, something like Variya or the World Shatterer, an singular interceptor can't do it. They literally say that their role is to follow the will of the Interceptor, in a dialog between in other, they fight the MC only because MC tries to kill them. I did read it, and it really feels like the reasoning is "big character, must be an Interceptor", if there's more it was well hidden. Native access to the Zeight is inherent to the interceptor, period. It doesn't matter if you're an interceptor from another timeline, because the Zeight connects all of them, otherwise it couldn't allow interceptor to access the data of parallel versions of themselves, and it doesn't matter if you became an interceptor by means other than a contract with Variya, you still get the entirety of the Interceptor Perks, which are accessed via the Zeight. I agree that native access to the Zeight isn't the same as being an interceptor: there are entities other than interceptors which also have native access to the Zeight, especially very high up in the deity food chain. Just because we don't witness V, Clear, and Kieran interact with the Zeight, it doesn't mean it never happened or that it couldn't happen. We do not know the extent the everything the Puppet Master knows of, but part of it is that the world has been reset by the MC, possibly countless times (Zetta asks you questions that you'll only learn the answer of in later chapters to verify MC is the true, true, doubly true interceptor), and it's common sense that if you're stuck in a time loop you'll eventually try everything, even siding with your enemies. "The cycle will be broken", given this context, can very easily refer to the time loop, and thus Renegade MC. MC is playing on both side because the win condition, for the MC, is not to beat a side, it's to produce the board state that will exit the time loop.

Ugh, why docx instead of md.tar.gz!? I had to install Libreoffice just to read the thing: you can't just `cat | less` that thing! Anyway, back to topic: (It's a thread about theories, all of the following is 13.5 spoiler, duh) Yes, if we have to take the evidence at face value, most likely Vitus is the one who is hunting the envoys. I wouldn't say it's definitive, for several reasons: - "#####" matches "Vitus" instead of "Indriad": iirc, "Vitus" is his family man persona and "Indriad" is the Yveltal host, and there are plenty of 5-letters names, especially within the Theolias ("Maria", "Melia", "Alice", "Allen"), which could all have access to Yveltal, add time interdenominational traveling shenanigans and it could really be any Theolia. - We have no strong reason to believe that who killed Taelia and Nora is also the one who's hunting envoys in general. - Nymiera and Admin might simply trying to make you believe it's Vitus: if it was him, what was the point of censoring the document? You already know who Vitus is and that he's never up to something good. I wouldn't put it past them, because they both have an history of being manipulative. - It's definitely not as simple as "Vitus, who wants to bring death, is killing all the envoys, who want protect life": we know for a fact that Nymiera, who is supposed to be the one promoting life, has strategically lead people to their death. - I have a feeling that Vitus being the one hunting the envoys is just too straightforward and in your face. For Anju, we know for a fact that she was kidnapped by Vitus and he did something to her: it's what shown to us in the Terajuma arc, and it's further reinforced by what happened to Alice during Karma Files. What we don't know for certain is if the Anju in Chapter 3 is the same as the main story's Anju: it could be either way. I don't think we have definitive evidence that Karma erased Adrest, if anything, aren't we told that Karma can't really interfere inside the Zeight by the documents left by Adrest? It might have very well been Variya or someone else at that tier of power. For interceptors, Madam X is most likely a Theolia rather than an interceptor, because Yveltal. Spacea and Tiema were interceptors, keyword were, they're no longer after ascending, not that it really matters now. Vitus and Nymiera are not interceptors, they are different things entirely. An Interceptor is just someone with free will, it's someone who has a very specific set of traits, so not every (demi-)god in Rejuv is an interceptor, even if they have free will, for example we know for a fact that Melia is not an interceptor: she lacks at least one of the Interceptor Perks, that being native access to the Zeight, it has been granted to her by the MC. And regarding the chess game, it happens before the timeline split, and happens in the same way regardless of your karma and renegade points, in other words, it's a bit naive to conclude that the MC is a piece in the white board but not in the black, they might be a piece in both, or neither.

It's foreshadowing for something that happens in a later chapter. Don't think about it.

Cinderace and Blaziken are busted in singles, but Rillaboom is the most most meta of meta that ever was meta in VGC. The hardest battles, imho, tend to be battles, so, I'd go with Rillaboom.

If you haven't noticed, even her team has changed completely: she only has Hapi from her Ch. 1 team. She has 3 defining traits in Ch. 1: Normal monotype team, photography, and full shiny team, and in Ch. 5+ she only keeps one of them. The change in Melia is intentional and there's lots of stuff behind it. Her father has also been ignoring her for and everyone for a long time, she's equally as happy that, at the very last moment, he started to care about her as she is devastated of his death, her mourning is just slow burning. To add to that, Aelita is also just built different. But yeah, more exposure would have helped, but we do get a bigger focus on Aelita later on, and an entire side game about her parents.

If you want to choose based on strength, assuming the hidden ability, Hisuian Samurott is good in singles but bad in doubles, and Incineroar is mediocre in singles and one of the the greatest pokemon of all times in doubles. Both are good picks. I'd say that, if you plan on boxing your starter, I'd go with Samurott, because there aren't too many difficult doubles in the early game, otherwise I'd absolutely pick Incineroar.

Either goes, depending on who you ask. I did not allow pokemon that evolve into a type in my mono-fairy ones, but only the ones that have it or mega into it (but I have to mega them as soon as possible), and I simply defeated Venam with a Jigglypuff and Wigglytuff.

It's still Rejuv, but the game's story splits into two timelines at some point: Paragon (positive/neutral karma playthrough) and Renegade (negative karma playthrough).

Long story short, Paragon is the good/neutral karma route, and Renegade is the negative karma route and it's very hard to get to Renegade unless you go out of your way, both figuratively and literally, to do so. Both are canon and both are required if you want to get the full picture.

On one side, the idea of Ch. 1 Sylveon/Umbreon/Espeon is enticing (no idea about the stone access), on the other, just before Blacksteeple Castle, you can find just enough lost souls to make Eevee spawn in Maman's garden, and that's still very early.

I can tell that trainer appearance is a massive source of bugs. Missed opportunity, but I get it.

M2's level of mastery of the archetype's powers is way beyond Melia's, she absolutely put in countless hours of practice into it, yet she wasn't shown using it while the world was frozen, which means it probably didn't work at all, and if it did work, it would have been something for her to do and not get bored to the point of going insane, so, she most likely had that practice before the disaster that destroyed the world, so, I find it unlikely that M2 didn't notice having Genesis Syndrome in her home world.
