  1. I have a love-hate relationship with Insurgence.

    I absolutely love the gameplay of Insurgence. Their megas, deltas, form changes, custom moves, etc are fun to play with and I love how nice the EV training and level grinding system is. Insurgence is great competitive wise when it comes to actually training up mons. It's a very streamlined process and there are always other ways to train up pokemon without making you start over (i.e IV stones if you don't want to change your Pokemon out). Their mapping is pretty nice and I love the various unique tidbits in the map thats pretty fun (black market, pika cab, the pokemon roulette thing that can change nature, shinyness, held item, etc). Boss battles are fun too and I like how the mega pokemon usually match the character associated with them and provide a fun little challenge. The addition of different modes (not playing with delta pokemon, dark/light story mode, easy/hard mode, & different lockes and gameplay restrictions built into the game) are also pretty welcome.

    Unfortunately, that's where my love for Insurgence stops. Nora and Damian I could care less for, most of the NPCs are pretty dry, routes becomes chores, and overall I find myself rushing through the game because nothing really makes me want to stay in a particular city or explore. Some of the mapping is extremely inconvenient and sometimes doesn't feature good game design (one example in particular is climbing Helios Tower but having to cut through the black market, the sewers, and then outside just to heal). The story was great and especially picked up from 2nd-3rd gym. With the new version being released (4th-6th gym) however, the story sort of fell flat. The cults aren't really convincing especially when civilians seem to be completely okay, the lack of logic in certain parts of the storyline, no real feeling of being threatened (cultists get legendaries but nothing feels dire), etc.

    The one thing about Insurgence is that they are extremely talented in their coding department, adding in features of core Pokemon games easily. It shows how you can really push the envelope regarding RGSS and how people can really push their boundaries past the base Pokemon essentials kit that everyone has. I hope it will eventually inspire some creators on here (whether its Reborn, Rejuvenation, or other progressing fan games) to add in some features that may not be existent in other games

  2. Is there an alternate downlink link for this game (other than the two provided on the first page)? Got a new computer, tried to download the game, and it STILL crashes after the initial cutscene in the beginning of the game. Not sure what I'm still doing wrong... It doesn't get any further than what I've played so far no matter what computer/download link I use.

    I had this issue when I was playing Rejuvenation in Terajuma Jungle and turns out the same issue applies here.

    I believe you have Windows 10 right? I don't know why this doesn't apply for a lot of users, but the issue is that the music files have trouble playing correctly in game and somehow end up messing up the game and crashing. This happened to me when I went into Terajuma Jungle in Rejuvenation and after the title sequence in Desolation.

    To fix this, go into your folder, then Audio, then BGM, and then delete the music file for the beach which should be "Feeling-Native.mp3". There will be no music playing in that area but you will be able to play the game properly. If the issue happens in other games, try to locate the bgm music for that area and delete it.

  3. Oh boy, I feel sorry for you. The first release pre-patch was URRGRHGRHGH, but at least it fixed now.

    And for now its useless. It's a piece to a bigger puzzle, which means a bigger reward.

    Oh okay, the way someone made it sound, it was a shiny or something ._.

    I came here because of the puzzle itself because I had the game downloaded ages ago, but I found out there was a patch at the time I posted and I almost cried.

  4. This game shows SO MUCH PROMISE ASLKDJASD

    I didn't actually know that this was updated, so I went through the entire game glitches and all ._.

    Pre-nerf Fire Fern wasn't that bad for me (ssh I have a frogadier), funny how the Fletchinder gave me the most trouble.

    I did do the Bidoof puzzle, and a room opened up and I got a certain item, do I have to do something else or is my 'reward' completely useless as of right now?

  5. I don't understand actually. I'm assuming you're playing on Insane difficulty? If you didn't want to get that much of a challenge, you could've gone with Reborn difficulty or even Easy mode. A competitive mindset revolves around using the right pokemon for the job and whatnot. While we're used to switching Pokemon for wifi battles and whatnot, it is a bit of a new thing to switch pokemon around during your main story. But that's the fun about it. It literally promotes the idea of learning from your mistakes and building on them rather than to avoid them. It isn't even Jan completely limiting your options, tons of Pokemon to catch that can literally counter everything about Amber's team. I'm glad Jan didn't put up a counter for literally everything and left some spots for Pokemon to have a fair chance.

  6. I wish I went to the forum after downloading the game, if I knew how rare it was I would have rolled with anything else. Cant return the ~200 resets but oh well got a nice fennekin in the end :)

    Is there a specific number/rate on the jackpot?

    iirc somebody did look at it, and did the math.

    Simply speaking, the randomizer draws a number between 1-19, 1-18 representing the starters and 19 representing the three starters. Then I believe once you draw 19, it draws AGAIN from a bigger number and 3 of those represent the rare starters. If it doesn't draw the number for Eevee, Axew, or Ralts, it resets. So roughly speaking, its rarer than a shiny.

  7. Now that Zetta is gone, I'm looking forward to how the Dimensional Rift will play into the storyline. Angie's church has a rift in it, and with Zetta gone, its obvious that its still possible for someone to create the dimensional rifts. Speaking of Angie, I want to see more of her and Cera, especially the latter because her going bonkers is hilarious. IM DIDDLY DIDDY KONG FINE. I also want to see Mega Evolution tie into this somehow, I'm excited to see just how Jan will implement it. We already saw it with Saki, and I'm predicting we'll battle her soon too so mega evolution is definitely a must.

  8. I believe Indriad is connected to Angie, probably taking the poor woman and brainwashing her. Neved is definitely mysterious though, we only encounter him in the beginning on the ship and on Blacksteeple Prison/Castle. Do we really know his role? What position does he hold in Team Xen and what is his relevance?

  9. Was away for three days, sorry about that, but let's get into some of the other characters!

    Neved


    Neved is one interesting character. We find out about him during the Blacksteeple Castle saga, where he explains that Emma (Melia) reminds him a lot of his daughter. Just who is Neved? Why is he so pro-Team Xen?



    Also discuss his connections to these following characters:

  10. I wouldn't say she turn pokemon in shiny. Didn't the game stated that shiny pokemon are attracted to meila?

    Correct.

    Oopsies, guess I didn't read that correctly.

    I feel like Melia, Madame X, and Marianette are all the same, but represents different age groups.

    Marianette could be the young girl that obeys her father and remains that way, Melia could the older one who freed herself from her father and represents the good, and Madame X could the older one who felt she has lost all hope and decided to become evil to fulfill her goals. If I want to go on a stretch, I could say that Crescent separated them so that the good side (Melia and Marianette) could live while the evil (Madame X) could be vanquished.

  11. With Version 6 released, we have gotten an updated plot and some additional events. With the drastic change and some plot progression (ending Act 1), where do our heroes go? That's what we're here to discuss. I'll start off with a character and we discuss their connections to the other characters as well as possible speculation of what will happen to them later on in the future. To keep this thread pretty active, I'll introduce a different character to talk about when our discussion has run its course or the thread has become inactive.



    First up, we have a character who arguably imo is the most important character to the central plot. She was introduced to us very early and has been with us for the majority of the plot. Now with Act 1 concluded and the pace of the story speeding up, what is in store for this certain person/people?



    Melia


    IzFKCbq.pngQafnrMO.png



    Melia has been with us since the beginning, being introduced to us as a girl with special powers (To attract shiny Pokemon). We accompany her to Goldenwood Forest where our first encounter with Team Xen sheds more light about her. For some reason, Team Xen wants her, BAD. Why? We don't know. Early on, we find out that she is adopted by Professor Jenner and has been brought to him by Team Xen's Madelis. Later on in the plot, we learn that Melia is needed by Madame X for a purpose. Because she was incompatible with her plans, she creates Zetta from a Solosis. Along with this, we also have the fact that Melia might be connected to Marianette in some way. In the prologue, we learn that a young Marianette has been sacrificed to Arceus along with her mother. However, when Angie tries to do the same to Melia, we learn that Melia is connected to Marianette as she feels "as if I experienced it before". Just who is Melia? And what connections does she have with these people?



    Possible discussion also pertaining to Melia:

  12. Just to clarify, I couldn't enter Terajuma at all. It didnt even give me a message. In xXx007Xx's case, it seemed like he was able to enter but a specfic area is giving him trouble. What exact area was it? Maybe its not the Terajuma file but a different music file/sound effect that could be causing the crash.

  13. Ok I just beat Keta and some of my thoughts:

    • The story is MUCH CLEARER. I can't stress this enough. Everything makes sense and the slight plot change is very welcome.
    • The fights are much more balanced. Keta is definitely much easier but Gale Strike is much more threatening. If you use Duskull (at this point where it can be purified) you can gain access to Will-O-Wisp before level 30, and you also have an option of a Meditite in Amethyst Cave.
    • THE GRAPHIC SKLASDJKLASDJLKASDJLKASD
    • You can actually beat Shadow Mewtwo! I don't know what that does for you but I stalled it out and it shadow killed itself.
  14. So I've made myself a deal that either I get my mother******* Ralts/Axew or a shiny, whichever comes first. Welp.

    When shinies appear more often than the secret jackpot pokemon, RIP. At least its speed and attack stat is near perfect, this is SCREAMING physical attacker to me, but I'm going to have fun with leaf storm contrary tbh.

  15. Looks like windows 10 is becoming a hassle...

    For real. I don't know if its Windows 10 thats exactly the problem or its my PC because nobody has the same problem as I did. I'm pretty sure someone else has Windows 10, but they haven't reported anything yet. If its not Windows 10 issue, then I really don't know what is
