Let's go for Demo 2 as well!
Pokèmon Xenoverse: the strength of one
like the second Pokemon film.
Part 5: The fire island
As this demo was made mostly to test the new features of the game, we start with 5 Pokemon at level 50 that we can choose ourselves from this roster. We have:
1. The three starters, equipped with the Terrestrial ring
2. Hikiloo
3. Sparkowl's evolution
4. Delta Sharpedo and Delta Spiritomb
5. Hammer-form Aegislash
6. Luxray and Hypno, who obtained new Mega Evolutions
I went with this team, as Delta Pokemon have been already showcased, and as I wanted to keep my starter Shulong. On the right, there's me!
Mega Hypno and Mega Luxray look like this:
And now a closer look at the Starters I chose, Shulong and Trishout: they cannot evolve normally, but they can use an item called Terrestrial Ring that makes them change form and become stronger:
And here we can see the new Menu of the game, another cool graphic addition:
Enough with the features, let's talk about the story.
So we start off the journey on a ship, eager to start a new adventure which, as the narrator says, will actually end up being the most important of our life.
But guess what happens then...
We end up on a tropical island. While at first it looked like a desert place, soon we find some friends of the ship's captain, Maren.
Most of the people on this island are wearing masks for some celebrations, and we are invited to join. Then we discover that, according to a prophecy, we are some kind of "chosen one" and we need to defeat Articuno, Moltres and Zapdos.
This girl, called Melody, says that she's never seen such a cute "chosen one"... Interesting.
But in the meantime, a wild cutscene appears.
k den.
The team:
Shulong (T), lv. 50
Dragon Pulse, Water Pledge, Ice Beam, Water Ring
Trishout (T), lv. 50
Flamethrower, Boomburst, Ancient Power, Fire Pledge
Aegislash (X), lv. 50
Thundershock, Calm Mind, Mach Punch, Iron Head
Luxray, lv. 50
Volt Tackle, Sucker Punch, Ice Fang, Superpower
Hypno, lv. 50
Psyshock, Nasty Plot, Focus Blast, Synchronoise
Sorry I played this like 10 days before writing this update

Hai
First time in this thread
Anyways, 9/10
I seem to like it a lot for some reason
-
Creepy looking Girafarig but any idea why the ship was attacked by a sharpedo?
Well, I don't know for sure but I suppose it's because of the attitude of Delta Sharpedo.
As Ezio said in another part while speaking about Elekid, Delta Pokemon (who come from a different dimention) appear randomly and cause trouble, even without an apparent reason.
-
I'm still here! This will be the final part of the First demo, too!
Part 4: Curse you, Girafarig!
You'll see why :]
So, we are finally inside the ship, called HMS Victoria. I've found this Gang member inside - he says he doesn't even know why he was able to ride his motorbike inside.
The ship itself is not so big, but there is still a kitchen. One of the two chefs loves rice, so she gave me some - it actually is just like a Super Potion.
This, instead, is what happens if I try to go upstairs. First, a guy named Rob gives me a Secret Potion (like the one used to make the Psyduck move in Platinum), then, as I'm talking with the Captain, some Sharpedo attack the ship, which is slammed against a rock wall.
I'm the only survivor, and I find myself in this island, full with ghost types. I catch a Gastly and a Duskull, hoping to use them later, and level up Shulong - this is made easier thanks to his newly learned move, Bite.
Where am I...? (Notice Shulong standing on top of the character).
As I get to the other side of the island, I find this wounded Lapras. I give it the Secret Potion, and she carries me to the destroyed ship. After that, I can't interact with it anymore - I'm stuck in the ship.
The floor has countless cracks that I have to avoid, there are many Zubats and ghost-types, and it's still raining.
After a while, though, I reach a new room.
There's a strange presence inside this room.
That is a warning for an upcoming fight. I entered the room anyways, with my best friend Shulong beside me...
And we're against Delta Sharpedo!
It is at level 16, and it's a Ghost-type (but I couldn't guess its eventual secondary typing). Because of Bite, Shulong was actually able to dispose of it easily, gaining two levels after the fight.
It was surprisingly easy, I have to admit.
After the fight, Rob shows up again and teleports me away with his Alakazam. But, instead of teleporting me to a new location, I get brought here.
And as the message states, the First Demo of Pokemon Xenoverse is now ended!
That levitating Chansey is a new feature of the game. It works like a Healing Machine from Reborn and Rejuvenation, but it has to be activated by paying some money.
I also receive a Level 50 Girafaring and its Megastone, so I can try it out. Too bad that i can't access my Pokemon Storage System and...
Why did you replace my Shiny Sparkowl!?
Anyways, this is how Mega Girafarig looks in battle. I couldn't show the front sprite though.
And with this image, the part - and this demo - is done! Next time, we begin a new adventure with a different character, as we test out some different features of the game!
The team:
Shulong (The Sharpedo-biting Draghetto) - lv. 13
Bubble, Bite, Tail Whip, Pound
Hikiloo (snow puppy) - lv. 9
Powder Snow, Tackle, Tail Whip
Girafarig (the intruder) - lv. 50
Zen Headbutt, Crunch, Psychic, Double Hit
Tranpille (Charizard mime) - lv. 12
Ember, Twineedle, Pin Missile, String Shot
Delta Elekid (the bomb guy) - lv. 5
Ember, Smog, Leer
Yemin (the benched guy) - lv. 6
Pound, Focus Energy, Leer

with Astros and Seth
Astros seemed to be in a safe place and the other magus was now the new target of those creatures, so Dexter approached him and took some distance from his Mediator.
He readied his pistol - which was more effective at longer ranges - but didn't attack the beasts right away. He wanted to wait for the other magus to do something: he was more experienced, and the blonde guy didn't want to act as a hindrance for him.
I found some time to post something - as you might have read from my status, I'm rather busy...

Gym done
Part 3: Twineedle Spam
So, while grinding in Shining Beach I've found many interesting wild Pokemon. Not only we have Yemin, but also normal Pokemon like Taillow, Wingull and Magby. And this thing.
Tranpille, the Caterpillar Pokemon.
It's a physically weak Pokemon that, thanks to some of its body's molecules, can morph into menacing Pokemon to scare others and to defend itself.
That thing on his head is easily recognizable, right?
It seems that Tranpille is like Diglett, as some of its body is always underground.
Also, Tranpille walking behind me looks kind of scary, and much bigger that you'd expect.
As it was a Bug-Fire Pokemon, I caught it immediately. Too bad it's very rare and hard to catch - thanks to Critical hits on my part, or just bad luck, I got it only on my fourth try.
It was worth it though :]
Anyways, after some grinding I finally battle the Grass Gym Leader of Ludopoli, Danilo.
He is always found meditating, and he doesn't want anyone to forget his name, it seems. In fact, the game says "Danilo Danilo wants to fight"...
The battle starts with Tranpille against his Flabebè (at level 13). I finally knock it out after many Twineedle attacks and some help from Shulong.
Flabebè, on the other hand, cannot knock out my Tranpille in two hits as it resists Fairy type moves (thanks to the Fire type).
A level 14 Bulbasaur is sent out next - Hikiloo and Sparkowl (who has learned Peck, finally) handle it with relative ease.
The last Pokemon... is this thing.
Yep, level 16 Delta Spiritomb! I couldn't understand whether it was just Grass-type or had a secondary typing, but I know that - luckily - he was hit super effectively by Bug-type moves from my Tranpille. Sparkowl at first, and then this Charizard mimicker were able to knock it out.
Only Tranpille was alive after that battle... but I got my first badge!
Here it is.
Now I can return to Shining Beach. A ship that was being repaired there is now ready to go, so I guess I'll have to get there and embark on a new journey!
I don't have a ticket, but a guy named Dade recognizes me and convinces the sailors to let me in. Ezio wanted that to happen, after all - just hearing that name is enough for the sailors...
So, we are going to travel by ship... next time.
The team:
Shulong ("il draghetto") - lv. 10
Bubble, Bite, Tackle, Tail Whip
Hikiloo (snow puppy) - lv. 9
Powder Snow, Tackle, Tail Whip
Sparkowl (sleepy bird) - lv. 10
Peck, Thundershock, Quick Attack, Thunder Wave
Tranpille (Charizard cosplayer) - lv. 12
Ember, Twineedle, Pin Missile, String Shot
Delta Elekid (the bomb guy) - lv. 5
Ember, Smog, Leer
Yemin (never surrender!) - lv. 6
Pound, Focus Energy, Leer

Happy birthday Skelly!

All I know is that:
1. Usually, when a computer makes some beeping noises when it starts, it means that there is a hardware error (detected by the BIOS). Depending on the brand of the bios / motherboard, you should be able to find out what that acoustic signal means.
2. Most of the time, computers have one small light which indicates the hard disk activity. Probably, the problem has to do with that.
It's not much; I hope I was still a bit helpful

More italians, yay!Ciao!
Also, welcome to Reborn! I hope you'll have fun and enjoy your stay here!

I'll have to apologize here for sharing that information about the Fakemon, because by showing their types I'm basically going against one of the rules of this run. People who are following this run could still look that up, just to see what Steffo will be up against
It may be irrelevant now, but I've also edited the previous post so that the types I've found for the Fakemon are inside an additional spoiler.

Replies:
Ok, thanks. You know, for a minute, I thought you made this game haha...
I'm not the kind of guy to include Delta Pokemon, and all of the other features that are in the second demo
rip thought this was zumi's game at first :S
seems pleasing to the eye
Can't blame you, the titles and the logos look a bit like Xenogene (Zumi's game).
And yes, they worked a lot on the graphics.
Part 2: It's a bomb!
Last time, we had to explore Shining Beach. Ezio was going there to hunt down the Delta Pokemon that caused a fire in Ludopoli the first time we got there.
On our way there, we beat some trainers and caught a new Fakemon, Yemin:
Normal-Fighting. I don't know if I'll be using it that much, though.
The fighter Pokemon.
A Pokemon that never surrenders, and always finds an excuse to keep fighting. Even if it's about to lose, he won't stop until his opponent forfeits.
that description, as it's written in the Pokedex, doesn't really make much sense, to be honest
And here we are: now on the actual beach, Ezio lets us handle the Delta Pokemon, who I promptly catch. All I needed was one Pokeball and some Thundershocks from Sparkowl.
But first, notice the weird dimensional portal thingy that appears behind Delta Pokemon when a battle with one of them starts.
Delta Elekid is a Fire type (like Elekid's counterpart in the normal games, Magby). The Pokedex says:
This is the delta forme of Elekid. It's a small bomb engulfed in fire (not really sure on how to translate this, pardon) that, if disturbed, can even blow up.
After catching the Elekid, we arrive to Ezio's lab, where he and other scientists study Delta Pokemon.
Those Pokemon come from an opposite dimension (distortion world??), and they have been appearing here for some time now, causing problems like the fire in the city.
Before leaving the lab, a scientist named Anna gives us the Item Crafter, alongside a Pokeball and a Megaball circuit. I haven't tried this out yet, but they say it is a tool that lets you combine ingredients to obtain a brand new item.
Now that all of this is done, it's time to challenge the gym:
if it wasn't clear enough, it's a Grass-type gym.
The levels of the Pokemon used by the trainers are actually higher than normal, and I've beaten the first one just because of Freeze hax with Hikiloo, so I'll have to grind some more before challenging the gym leader.
Now excuse me while I grind for the next part...
The team:
Shulong ('draghetto') - lv. 9
Bubble, Pound, Tail whip
Hikiloo (freeze hax master) - lv. 9
Powder Snow, Tackle, Tail whip
Sparkowl (shiny bird) - lv. 6
Thundershock, Quick attack
Yemin (the fighter) - lv. 6
Pound, Focus energy, Leer
Delta Elekid (the bomb) - lv. 5
Smog, Leer, Ember

Hmm, this is an interesting game. Maybe I'll play it. Do you know where the second demo goes up to? And I wouldn't worry about the whole language thing, I speak Spanish, so I understand what they're saying.
I still don't know where this demo goes up to.
But, about the second one: they made it mainly because they want to test some features, like the aforementioned Pokemon Delta, which will be available only later in the game. So they made up a brand new storyline just for the second demo, that may become a part of the final game as well.
-
Sorry for posting again, but I've finally finished typing the part!
I posted the introduction alone and added the other parts later, saving the edited post multiple times, to avoid losing everything in case of problems.

Hello everyone! Loomie here, presenting a run of Pokèmon Xenoverse!
Pokèmon Xenoverse is a fangame, made with RPG Maker XP like most fangames in the Reborn forums, which is still in early development.
Two demos have been released - right now, the second one is not an expansion of the first one but has a totally different setting and story - and, even at this stage, there are some very interesting features.
However, what makes this game special is that it's made by an italian development team, WEEDle (here there's their official site) and, as such, the dialogues are mostly in italian. The second demo comes in English as well, but even then, don't worry, for I'll try to translate everything for you~
Part 1: The top percentage Rattata
The game begins with a flashback - a very interesting way to start off - rather than with the usual Professor lecture.
Sezu is the father of the protagonist, and he is shown in a hospital, waiting for our birth. It'll be a nurse to ask him the gender and name of the player - in this case, a girl named Dawn.
Don't worry, I'll play the second demo as a boy.
Once that is done, another flashback occurs. Here we are 5 years old, and our father Sezu decides to take us outside. He therefore shows us around his ranch - the italian name is "Ranch Liopigro": Liopigro is actually an invented word, like names of Pokemon are, so I don't know how to translate it.
We first check out our Miltank, then we head to the nearby lake, and finally to the small monument in the picture. It's dedicated to Artemis, our grandfather, who - as Sezu tells me - "sacrificed himself to save ourselves. But you're too young to hear this story. Let's head home."
Too bad that, when we head home, we hear a strange noise coming from north. Sezu finds three Pokeballs, and lets us keep one of them. Those Pokeballs contain:
The Grass-Fairy type Shyleon
The Fire-Sound type Trishout (yes, they added a brand new type, Sound - I still don't know much about it though)
And the Water-Dragon Type Shulong, which I'll keep.
At this point, someone attacks our father, claiming that those Pokeballs were his. He calls out a Golem and starts a battle with Sezu, as we try to run away...
Now in the present, we hear from our mother, Sophie, that our dad has been disappeared since.
As we are ready to start our journey, our mother gives us everything we need - Pokedex, Running Shoes - and tells us to reach the nearest city, Ludopoli, as Ezio, a friend of our father, lives there. She tells us to be safe before we exit her house.
This is how Dawn looks now that she is 10.
Yes, it's another pink-haired protagonist, like in Rejuvenation.
And this is Dawn outside, with Shulong.
Not only we have some really interesting graphics (the menu is from Black and White 2, by the way) but we also have our first Pokemon in the party that is following us like in Heartgold and Soulsilver. Shulong can't talk to us yet, but this will be likely implemented in the full game.
This is the Pokedex data for the 'Mythical small dragon' Pokemon, Shulong.
Shulong is a small chinese dragon that has 2 kinds of skin (external and internal), making it very versatile.
As we head outside, we are approached by a woman named Lea who explains how to catch a Pokemon and gives us some Pokeball. The wild Pokemon from the "tutorial", which, for now at least, is considered a normal battle, is ours: it's a new Fakemon called Hikiloo.
Hikiloo, the Puppy (Small dog) Pokemon, is a Normal-Ice type.
A cute puppy coming from iced lands. Since ancient times it'd help humans training huge weights during the most impetuous snowstorms.
And finally, we also get a third member for our team, Sparkowl (the Pidgey equivalent, probably):
Sparkowl, the Tiny Bird Pokemon (I'm totally sure on this one
) is an Electric-Flying type.Spakwol (typo right there) usually lives on trees. If not disturbed, it's tender and quiet.
Let's admit it, it looks slightly weak at first sight. But later you'll see why I got it anyways.
As you can see, most Pokemon here are Fakemon, but don't worry, as there are many normal Pokemon as well (like the Miltank from before, and many Pidgey, Eevee, Bunnelby, and Rattata in the first route). There are also some trainers, who I've promptly beaten.
This is a new, small route, that heads to our next destination, Ludopoli. The first trainer we meet is this guy, GENNARU BULLO (normally called Gennaro), and his top percentage Rattata.
In case you were wondering, Gennaro Bullo is the italian equivalent of the famous trainer Joey the Bully. This time though, his Rattata is really a top percentage Rattata.
See? Level 100 Rattata.
Also, I'm taking this chance to point out two other things. First, the different battle interface that this game has. And second... my Sparkowl has some different colours than the one shown in the Poxedex, as it's Shiny!
It's very nice, especially because I don't think that the Shiny rate has been changed like in Reborn, and is probably still as low as in the main series games!
After our loss, Gennaro wants to block the path, but luckily, he's promptly called out by his mother, who brings him back home. We can finally head to Ludopoli!
Now in Ludopoli, we find a fire in the city. All the inhabitants are outside, calling for help, but Ezio comes and saves the day!
Yes, he has a Suicune.
When he's about to leave, he finally recognizes us as the daughter of his friend Sezu, and decides to talk a bit more about us.
He explains that the cause of the fire is a Pokemon from another dimension, a Delta Pokemon (who played the Pokemon TCG, Pokemon Zeta/Omicron, or Pokemon Insurgence, may be familiar with them already), who probably is going to the nearby Beach.
A new plan is set:
Next time, we'll have to follow Ezio as he hunts down that Delta Pokemon.The Team:
Obtained in part 1:
Shulong (the starter) - lv.7
Bubble, Pound, Tail whip
Hikiloo (ice dog) - lv. 6
Powder Snow, Tackle, Tail Whip
Sparkowl (tiny electric bird) - lv. 5
Thundershock, Quick Attack
Sorry if the pictures are too big; I'll see what I can do to resize them, at least for the upcoming parts!
-
You're doing great so far, even against those ridiculously strong trainers!
Also, here are some things I found with my trusted YAPE (spoilers?):
Conarp is a
Fire/Dark
Pokemon with Wonder Guard as its ability...
Stats: 110/95/118/95/118/80 (BST is therefore 616)
Has no Pokedex entry, moveset or anything, but evolves into Blazard.
Blazard has the same type as Conarp with Wonder Guard, but the stats are: 120/110/125/110/125/105 (BST of 695).
But wait, there's more! Some legendaries have been changed so that they have crazy stats, like Dialga:
Dialga doesn't have any typing or ability change, but the stats are: 150/140/160/200/130/110 (BST of 890)
Good luck, you'll need it. -
Actually it is probably better to attack ZEL's Pokemon first, as they can deal more damage compared to Lileep and Glaceon's icy wind can be a problem.
You should try to dispatch Espeon and Glaceon quickly at the beginning. When Umbreon is out, you can either focus on it to turn the battle in a 2v1 or damage Lileep.
To take out tangrowth and Chatot more easily, you could paralyze them with Tynamo, and try to plow through them with your other team members.
There are some ways to improve this strategy, like poisoning Lileep (not tangrowth as it gains Poison typing) with stuff like Toxic Spikes (trubbish can set them), using a psychic type like espurr or gothita (espurr can set up screens while gothita - I don't remember if it's still available now though - can lower the enemy's special defense), and bringing a bug type (one example that comes to mind if sewaddle, as it's not weak to psychic) to deal some damage to Espeon. You will need to catch other Pokemon though...
Anyways, as other people have said, it would be better if you provided additional info about your Pokemon.
Nonetheless, I hope I was helpful
Happy Birthday Zephy!
