Everyone's hyper focused on watching your battle instead of doing anything pro-active.
If the game were an actual anime like in Yugioh or something, there'd be plenty of slow zooming in on their faces as they explain what exactly the player just did or having inner monologues about the battle.-

So here we are.
Part 3 has finally ended.
And so has...this Nuzlocke?!
*Gasp!*

And I have a strong feeling with the whole announcement of 'please replace your saves with v13.5 ones, the converted saves will break despite our best efforts' you'll still go through with your current save for as long as you can. After all Rose doesn't exist in future updates anymore, not as a starter. Stubborn to the end (even if the reason is understandable).
Well it's up in the air at the moment.
That whole thing fucking sucks.
I have played through what would be Part 4 but there's not a small part of me thinking I should restart and play up to this point as a non-Nuzlocke then I delete all those Pokemon and move my original ones in.
...
Or I just start with all my already strong Pokemon and blast through the game.
...
Probably the second one.Z..:

There's no hope for this Nuzlocke now, Z.
Also this game's story has gotten downright incomprehensible.You could always just start a save file in v13.5, cheat in all your items and pokemon with like rpgmaker or debug mode.
Also if you think the story has gotten incomprehensible now just wait until you see the stuff in this new version, they somehow one upped them selves on the incomprehensible scale.
That seems to be the best option I have atm. REALLY don't want to deal with anymore area changes than I have to.
I've seen and been told bits and pieces.
Two specific ones is that there are way too many Deltarune and Danganronpa references and the dialogue is a lot more "memey" I think the word was?
So yeah, my expectations are lower than ever before.

Why is that a bad thing?
Gods knows enough of this rag-tag cast have lost their homes and/or loved ones already.
I think Veronica is the best off out of everyone.
She has two parents that still love each other and a home to go back to after all this is over.I think she means having an unhealthy obsession with the past, living in it and not being able to move on from tragedies in her life. Although she worded that REALLY badly, also that is very funny coming from someone like her.
This entire fucking game has an unhealthy obsession with the past. Considering we always go to the ONE SPECIFIC past instead of something fun like fighting Dino Pokemon.
I know, right? Fucking hell, Erin...
The whole thing with those four blonde kids is confusing because there's never a scene where they explicitly get their memories back, they just apparently have them now?On 11/11/2023 at 5:45 AM, Z.. said:
QuoteExpandYou're right, Nova.
Thinking about that stuff hurts me so...
Well the 4th wall is that one in front of me where the readers are, munching on their Pocky and Doritos like the ill-bred MONGRELS that they are.
I break that by talking directly to them and mocking them for their tastes in pretty much everything.
The 5th wall is the ceiling, which I break by making jokes about how none of this is actually real and I'm just sitting in my room spending FAR too much time on a hobby with what might as well be my fucking imaginary Poke-Friends.
And the 6th wall is the floor which is basically the same except instead of what's happening outside the computer I go on about what's in it and how all of you are basically just bits of 1s and 0s on a machine I barely understand the inner workings of.
...
No, it is not.
But if that infinite alternate realities theory actually turns out to be true then in some plane of existence, all of this is really happening somewhere out there and that gives me some small comfort to think of it as such.
Well then your scanners would be correct.
What I'm actually feeling is SEETHING JEALOUSY.
I'd kill and replace the Sean of that reality in a heartbeat if I could!I'm going to be honest with you here. I do not understand what you are talking about at all, especially that list bit with the multiverse theory.
Well I was only going on a nonsense tangent really.
If that multiverse theory people go on about is true, then somewhere out there is a universe where Rejuvenation Sean actually exists along with Rose and all other Pokemon on the same level of reality as you and I do now.
And if it does exist I fucking HATE that Sean for getting drawing the lucky straw and getting to be a Pokemon trainer while I have to sit here and have a boring real job.On 11/11/2023 at 5:45 AM, Z.. said:QuoteWhich in our time, has been turned into a frat house because Cella decided to suddenly become senile and let the League install some prep kid as Sensei of their village.

Yeah I don't really understand the setup you are going with here. My ending is that Sean looked at her beat the intrusive thoughts and carried on fighting.
There were a few alternatives, one was singing some of that Hellfire song under my breath but that was also a bit alarming as it seemed like I was BARELY resisting the dark urges, another was me saying "It'd be worth it." which is also awful and I think another was me leaning in to sniff her hair, which while visually funny made me seem a bit TOO creepy.

Is this why none of the cops could figure this crime out? Because the criminals' modus operandi is so stupid? Like, if you hated the Blakeory family(which is fair), why didn't you aim for the Blakeory's family members? Or Saki herself?
I'm not saying all the Blakeory's members deserve to get stoned....although I won't exactly mind...It's just that when a family wronged you, a typical victim takes revenge on that family. Not on people that have nothing to do with that family. Not aiming for people with the same CGPA!

Look, I want to enjoy the revamped Terajuma arc. There's a tons of things that have been improved, the player gets to spend more time with Aelita, the new maps are beautiful, and I get to catch an overworld Aevian Snorunt, who looks so cool. And Aevian Glalie(Grassy Glide Grass setter) and Aevian Froslass(Adaptability Water Spout) are pretty good, in my opinion.
But for some reason, Jan adds several Neved battles in that arc. Of course, he gets absolutely floored like the absolute loser he is. I mean, I barely remember his team. His memorable Pokemon is the Igloo Palossand, who is waaay too cool for him.
Normally, I would love establishing my superior over inferiors, but Neved.
Is.
So.
WHINY!

Shut up, Neved! Keta should have neutered you. It's not like Neved is putting it into good use. Maman deserves a better husband, especially for a woman as amazing as her.
Like, dang. Her new sprite is so gorgeous. And she's so, so kind, despite probably being retconned as a Garufan descendant. Clearly, she's one of the few(only) good one.
Like, argh, I want to marry her. I want to marry her so much! I want more animes where the MC stops being a coward and actually marries the waifus! I want my wish fulfilment marriage in my wish fulfilment anime! I demand more marriages in anime, dang it!
I read all of that and it changed nothing about my opinion of Neved in any way. I still hate him but I'm glad to see Jan's not making him redeeming at all.
Maman being retconned as a Garufan descendent is news to me however.

It's probably the same canon reason most Pokemon protags don't have a dad. They're authority figures that would probably hamper the character's journey in some way. Like I wouldn't let MY fucking children fight terrorists. I'd rather do it myself so they DON'T have to.

Dancing is a free actionDancer does not use up a Pokémon's turn. Quiver Dance is the best move to copy, there was a bit of niche strategy in Doubles for a while with Mega Alakazam using Roleplay to copy Dancer then setting up Quiver Dance with Volcarona.See that's what I didn't know.

And I’m not kidding even said “Guess your daughter isn’t going to heaven.” And just dipped. Which if I was Keta I’d be depressed and emotionless too. Like dang does Jan just hate the man or what?
It's cool on spoiling that for me. I played it.
Maybe we'll do a mini-arc covering it...I just have to figure out how to make in entertaining...
Keta cut him in line once so he trapped him in a video game using his fiendish and certainly un-Christian Jan powers.

Red Bitch is evil no doubt. Like sure she's partially responsible for Aelita even existing but if she didn't interfere Nora probably could have taken her Aelita's place in the story.VMeemes:

I think I prefer that to whatever the fuck went on here.(Although I think there was some nonsense about Melanie somehow polluting the ENTIRE ocean?)
Surely she still has her awakening moment, right? How else do the powers get explained?Watching someone do a Monofire run, how she got the awakening moment is by both a combo of you dying again (Melia dies too I think) and a pep talk from herself. Specifically her Emma persona from Blacksteeple Castle. You go down memory lane, see the first time Melia met Venam and Ren, and the now strained relationship with him. It also talks about you when you two first met. But in the cutscene you aren't there anymore, because you of course, are dead.
That's...uh...a bit weirder than what we got.
Does Melia have multiple personality disorder in the new timeline that fucking EMMA is the strong one?Also the first time we met?
When she bumped into me in the hallway and apologised?
Really touching moment there.On 8/15/2023 at 9:45 PM, VMeemes said:At the end of it you fight Emma using Melia's team vs her 3 Pokemon, reiterate that Melia went on the journey not to stop Team Xen, but to repay a debt because she actually went out to save a friend. The bow that you and Venam got for Melia also appears, saying that its transcended time and space to show that friendship with them is eternal. Melia points out that you the MC died but Emma rebukes it with basically "hey stupid we can get a time diamond and go back in time to prevent that from happening." Then her and a mysterious ??? ghost says 'Destiny is not set'. Spoopy.
...
What debt? Save who? Me?
I was doing FINE. Stopping Team Xen was a much better motive than paying me back for...I assume fighting Zetta in Goldenleaf Forest? That's even not something I'd ever consider her having to pay me back for. He was fucking easy.
Really? I thought she would have pointed out the whole "fell in lava" thing everyone kind of ignored at the time.
OH GOD NOW THERE'S DESTINY GHOSTS!?On 8/15/2023 at 9:45 PM, VMeemes said:The kicker is also the fact that Melia also made a promise to the MC's mother to look after you in her stead. Melia realizes that "oh damn I wouldn't have made it here if it were for my friends" and wakes up, turning into her golden form. Then you come back to life, Madam X is cryptic, then you team up with Melia to beat the shit out of a child. Then said child tries to Decimate you again but gets occupied by Mimikyu distracting it. Then Melia and Melanie fuse, Melia uses her power unintentionally to restore part of the world (aka the Castle area) and then mostly everything is all good.
??????????????
Melia.
Look after ME!?WHAT THE FUCK WAS NANCY SMOKING!?
IT'S BEEN THE GODDAMN OPPOSITE OF THAT THIS WHOLE TIME!I'm also not a fan of this constant idea in-game people have that I need to be taken care of. I'm a grown man.

Oh, gee, I wonder why? It's not like your world literally runs on those Pocket Monsters! It's literally made by Pokemon, for Pokemon! Every science field in your world has something to do with Pokemon! Unless the Pokemon is very volatile, or the trainer's a very lazy bum, there's almost no downside to having a Pokemon! Why would you not be interested with it? Those Audinos?! Ribombees? You're telling me you're not interested in any of these cute creatures, fanfic Chloe?!

They either have poor eyesight or they just do not care because they will let you get real close to you before running away. They have their heads down the whole time looking for food, so that’s probably why.
I also like how you didn't immediately go for the evolved forms.
Very unique team you've got here and you weren't concerned at all about making them competitive which is nice....
I probably can't make the teams fight now though.

Oof. Ace Attorney fans are gonna pursuit you for that. Not that I have any objections towards your statement though. The latter games have...tons of stuff I don't like.(I do like the games that take place in England though...for some reason...) But sometimes I need someone else to point out the flaws for me to realise it.

SpoilerOn 2/4/2023 at 12:25 AM, Bluedude said:Man this chapter has a lot of talking in it, times like these you probably wish your character could talk. But then again that does run the risk of your character saying something that doesn’t make sense. At least with a silent protagonist you can make up what their thoughts and motivations are.
Looks like you’re still a side main character, aside from Melia, and Aleita. I don’t really mind when I don’t play as the main character, as long as my actions still have meaning.
I do like story’s where the main character is a normal person, and I’m not talking about dang isekai normal where the guy has no life, no family, and has no/boring job. I mean normal like they have a good social life, a close family, and a nice job. Seriously how does every Isekai protagonist not miss their world in the slightest? I’d be so upset if I got transported to some medieval fantasy world, where they don’t have electricity or plumbing.
I can only talk when there's humor to be had, otherwise it's very difficult. Also it's implied that they kinda hear what I say in this chapter.
Just nothing that'd break the plot.
THE SPOTLIGHT MUST BE ALWAYS ON ME DAMMIT! WHENEVER I'M NOT ON SCREEN THE OTHER CHARACTERS SHOULD BE GOING "WHERE'S SEAN?"
But otherwise, yeah. I can also tolerate it if my actions still have meaning like you said.
...
And that when I win a fucking POKEMON battle it actually counts for something!
Isekai normal is sadly the actual Japanese normal for a lot of them. Which is a shame because I too hate the smelly former NEET isekai protagonists that are A-OK with slavery. Bonus points if they're a reasonably fit and handsome man but still somehow a complete fucking failure.
I think it's because magic is always a factor. Nobody wants to go back and live in the fucking Dark Ages but the Dark Ages where there's dragons, spells and fucking game mechanics telling you how strong you are is a lot more appealing.
For me, I'd probably be fine with being isekai'd. Even just the whole transporting part would be wonderous because if that's possible, who knows what else in the universe is?
Pokemon is my preferred setting. Because then I can have the goal of getting stronger to find Hoopa and letting my family know I'm okay and living the dream.
But I wouldn't come back for good.

The Golden Age of Nuzlockes is dead and gone, YingYang. We shall never see it's like again in our lifetime.
We've got to make do with the terrible Iron Age we're living in now. Where only video Nuzlockes flourish.
I feel that. Consistency is hard when you've been doing something for so long for free. Hopefully the same won't happen with me and any of my Nuzlockes. But if I die before I finish them it's not my fault.

Sorry, they've never betrayed me YET.
I'm very glad to have never played those games to recognise the references. It'd just annoy me further.

Don't worry. There's going to be at least TWO people in the group that are utterly irredeemable so we can pour all our hate on them.
Guessing the hatesink would be Indriad plus the two jokers in visors. Hell they kinda are already since Indriad is basically Aevium Satan and the other two are trying to essentially destroy the world.
Pretty much. They're the Solaris and Sirius of this game after all.

See that wouldn't work on me. I'd get the lesson and learn nothing from it because I still prefer the selfish option.
After all this I will be shocked if there isn't a point later where Melia has the choose between saving Venam and handing over some plot device. It'd make this whole arc pointless other wise.
Learn nothing out of spite sounds about right.
Hope it backfired on Timpea and Spacea and all Melia learned from this lesson that "Doing Nothing At All" is the right choice to make in every situation because something will come along and fix it for you.

Easily, sadly. All the money is in merchandise.
I will probably still be teary-eyed at his last scene though.
Hell more than a few people have been calling for Ash to be replaced since at least Johto.
Won't lie, the last episode will probably be a gut punch for me. I still can't believe it honestly.
I would have kept him up until the end of Johto at least. Maybe switch things over to that guy who was only in Pokemon Chronicles?

Hell I'll MARRY his sister and come to every single family get together just to spite him.
He'll counter by naming their first born child after you, in retaliation.
That seems like he'd be shooting himself in the foot by doing that but okay.
I shall buy all my kids Growlithes while secretly poisoning his so they are allergic to them!

If it makes you feel any better, the run ended soon after because of a double battle where my partner got wiped out pretty early. Leaving me 2 on 1 with a bunch of mons weak to bug types.
I'll have to try again sometime. I see it got a new update recently enough.
Maybe that gave us better options?

Hahaha actually I think I'd prefer if she never did but the whole MeliaXSean romance still happens so we put her statue in the living room of the home Melia and I raise her kids in.
And every night, you see a single tear fall from the statue.
Hey maybe they had an Oranguru teaching the classes for the Pokemon?
From love interest to furniture, truly a cruel fate to inflict.
Instruct, eh? Nice reference. Hard to imagine a Oranguru being a graceful dancer though.
Cruel...but deeply amusing.
On 2/3/2023 at 2:39 PM, DerogatoryTrainer said:Unlikely. The positions they'd get would be ones they'd probably be going into anyway. Like Aelita becoming Leader of Sheridan or Melia finally opening her fucking gym.
And it's going to be a MOSTLY benevolent dictatorship anyway so they shouldn't complain too much.
Aside from the laws I specifically make to annoy them.
Make it so Melia has no custodians so she has to clean the gym by herself, that would be funny. And make it so that Venam can no longer legally use that "Dogars" so from BW2, or face permanent jail time. Just for the hell of it.
That works for me.
I might also hire Roxie just to spit in Veronica's face and call her trash.
...
Wow. We discuss torturing Venam a lot in these comments, huh?
On 2/3/2023 at 2:39 PM, DerogatoryTrainer said:I did it for COMEDY not masochism!
I dunno...have you heard her talk about Melia sometimes? It sounds pretty obsessive to me.
It's the same thing after a certain point really.
Well it less "I need more power", more "I want to get in your pants" in Venam's case.
Agree to disagree.
"Once you get in the pants, then you get the power." Veronica Vasile, probably
On 2/3/2023 at 2:39 PM, DerogatoryTrainer said:I could see it happening...
But what I don't want to see is what happens if I use Nasty Plot twice
Zauis turns evil, takes over Team Xen and makes it much more efficient. You gotta put him down like Old Yeller afterwards.
Would be a hell of a twist to just usurp most of the plot like that.
Sadly, too much work for me to bother with it.

Never played them I'm afraid. Only ever had a Wii and nothing good Pokemon-Wise came out on that.
It's honestly amazing how little Pokemon did with the Wii. Could have easily put a Snap game on there or something.
I know, right? All we got were fucking party-games or battle simulators.

Especially for Shaphira with Connel, it feels like the devs just put it in to give us more reasons to hate him, as if the child torture from before wasn’t enough. It just feels fake.
It is rather weird. I always thought he was a creep but in like the cold analytical doctor way not that he was an actual rapist.
And it does feel like all the hate is supposed to go towards him and Sirius to distract you from people who deserve it as well.
Like all the people who tried to kill you at one point or another.

I can keep beating them down over and over again, but like a weed that's been injected with steroids, they keep spreading and I can't do dick to stop it.
And the way this story is fucking going it's looking more and more likely that Team Xen are going to turn out to be well-intentioned extremists or some such shit like that.
Which repulses me since I want them all dead and the more likeable ones imprisoned.
But that's literally just Sharon and Eli.Honestly this comes up in a lot of fangames. Desolation, Reborn, Rejuvenation, it always seems like your 10 steps behind the bad guys AT BEST. Like after a certain point how are you even remotely a threat to them?
Also you're just gonna have to accept that last part about well intentioned extremists. Seems to be a common thing for fangames too.
All they need to do is get arrested one by one until the Evil Team Leader realises how much damage the player has done and stages a jailbreak. That'd be much better than them just walking right past us out the fucking door!

Madame X didn't want to change any diapers so she shipped her off.

On 1/2/2023 at 11:15 PM, DerogatoryTrainer said:Yeah the whole server crash thing is a worry.
It's why I always preferred the anime putting all the Pokemon on a reserve. Much more palpable than being stored as data.
Yeah that works, Oak's lab is pretty cool. Also on that note, apparently they're about to retire Ash after 25 years. I was genuinely shocked.
How will Pokemon survive the loss of Ash?
Easily, sadly. All the money is in merchandise.
I will probably still be teary-eyed at his last scene though.
On 1/2/2023 at 11:15 PM, DerogatoryTrainer said:It turned out better than I thought. But I did draw the eyes. I just copied how they looked in the portraits.
I was always better at looking and copying an image than actually being good at drawing.
Oh yeah. And the cape would have to go. I have no idea how to draw the physics on that thing.
That works.
Clearly your hidden ability is Copycat.
Madame X probably looks better without the cape, anyways. Few can pull one off without looking silly.

Well of course she does. She's in a skin-tight catsuit!

Man Damien must think the kids REALLY suck at Pokemon. Even Venam at the very least knows the type chart.

I'm definitely guilty of that. Trying Desolation again, I beat that Aipom with no losses but ran into a double battle without healing first. Not my finest moment.

Hey she earned that degree with blood and sweat. . . . though not necessarily her own blood. . .
At this rate, Venam is gonna break out of her statue from sheer anger. What a good friend you are!
What I really want to know is where she got a human bodysuit to perform well enough to graduate. But we'll never know now...
Hahaha actually I think I'd prefer if she never did but the whole MeliaXSean romance still happens so we put her statue in the living room of the home Melia and I raise her kids in.

Give them good positions in your knew dictatorship and they could be happy.
Poor Zira was doomed the second that Aggron came out.
Unlikely. The positions they'd get would be ones they'd probably be going into anyway. Like Aelita becoming Leader of Sheridan or Melia finally opening her fucking gym.
And it's going to be a MOSTLY benevolent dictatorship anyway so they shouldn't complain too much.

It'd go something like Madame X stabbing them instead of Nancy and they say some trite shit about telling their friends to go on without them.
As their eyes start to darken their last words are "At least...they'll be safe..."
And the last panel is pure black.
Which then ALSO leaves it up to being continued if the writer feels like it.
Now THAT is an evil cliffhanger.
It'd be wild if that was the moment you found out the MC was immortal in the actual game. Only slightly less traumatic than what actually happens!
Yeah she's just doing her whole "hoisting the dead body above her head" thing and suddenly it kicks her in the face.

I imagine her weird armor would protect her from any blows we'd land but it'd still be satisfying to bash her head in with a 2x4 even if it was mostly ineffective.
Yeah I'd doubt it would be that easy. But hell its worth a shot.
Definitely great stress relief too like a punching bag.
I'd find it incredibly funny if we completely overwhelm her with our makeshift weapons. Like she can't deal with it at all.
Because realistically, who's she ever actually fought with her sword that wasn't at a major disadvantage from not having a weapon themselves? Grunts, Nancy, Alexandra's Mother. All unarmed.

She can't be Evil Veronica because she's not awkwardly flirting with Melia enough.
I did it for COMEDY not masochism!

A gimmick I have with his character is that getting hit by or using Dark type moves like Sucker Punch and Nasty Plot make him a lot less zen and peaceful.
I reckon by Part 4 Zaius will snap, with the next time he uses Nasty Plot turning him into a cackling Supervillain.

On a serious note, but in my opinion, if (weirdo) billionares think they found a way to be immortal, I'm pretty sure they would do whatever they can to achieve this supposed key to immortality. Even if they have to kill a bunch of children or something.
In fact, I'm pretty sure there are some villains in fiction who have this kind of motive. Can't really recall who...

I know I said this multiple times but I despise this arc. Because of Turd and Stain. Because this arc happens because some brain dead gijinkas wanting to teach a lesson. That's it. That's 98% of this arc.
A lesson that's meaningless.
Even superheroes who try to save everyone( because they're, well, superheroes) care waaay more about their loved ones than some frigging rando they meet for the literal first time.
And I still don't like their names. I know using Latin names is cliche, but that would be a better alternative than "Timpea and Spacea". Or better yet, I suggest some names from my language.
Don't worry, I choose good names this time. Like Waktu and Dimensi
...
...
...That's all I can think of. I could go for "Angkasa" but that refers to Space, as in the space with stars and planets and everything.
Heh. Turd and Stain. That's good stuff.
They've got a weirdly cold logical sense to them. I'm betting they're just advanced robots instead of actual gods now.
Okay, Dimensi is literally the same kind of shit Timpea and Spacea are. You literally just took out the last two letters!

Because WHAT THE HECK is that backstory?!!! Like...damn. Sheesh. If there's one thing I'm looking forward from this arc, it's your reaction to Aelita's..."birth".

It's like an animal abuser giving advice to euthenise a dying pet. It's the correct advice in this situation, but from the worst person possible.

I'm more afraid of Raja Bersiong, a character in my local folklore.
Unlike Dracula, Raja Bersiong drinks blood because...it's tasty. That's...pretty much it. And he's not afraid of light, especially since my country is on the Earth's Equator. Sure, Bersiong doesn't have any mystical powers...But he's a king of a kingdom with loads of soldiers behind him. If he wants blood, he just order his soldiers to kill people. Problem solved! Also, his story originated much earlier than Dracula, so he's not a ripoff of Dracula.
Points for originality!
Dracula has a lot of powers that make him hard to defeat. Especially for peasants. And he's only weak to sunlight itself.
Not actual light.
The original wasn't even burned by sunlight either. Most of his powers just stopped working.
Seems to me like Raja Bersiong is a lot weaker than Dracula. And went mad for blood resulting in his people killing him.
Not exactly an impressive resume.

I never knew that was a legitimate trope. Touching past selves=destroyed sure but never an alternate selves version of that.
My best explanation for this is because this is still an alternate timeline, just a destroyed version of it. So in a bizarre leap of logic princess!Melia is the future version of base Melia, who only exists because of a time gear necklace.
It also really depends on what one considers an alternate universe. Do alternate timelines count as that despite the fact that it's merely a branching path from your own home timeline? Or does this hypothetical person only count 'true' alternate universes, such as what Spiderverse does? Going by what rejuvenation goes with, alternate timeline ≠ alternate universe. Maybe. This is the only arc that really touches upon this concept so hard to say how it will look in future episodes.
I've never heard of it being a thing. The one you mentioned, yes. But alternate selves dying if they touch eachother I've never heard of.
Usually it's just the mere presence of two alternate versions destabilising the universe or something.
Ehhh...it's more like the Princess is the alternate version of Maria (who Melia likely is) instead.
I think alternate timelines do count. Timelines and universes are basically the same thing when you think about it.
They both only variate if something changes within them.

She talks like a meaner Erin would for one thing but this chapter makes me think she's going to end up being fucking evil Venam.
To be fair Madame X can be the arch enemy of both you and Melia also the boss of anti-assist will never be cool."Gee Madame X! How come your Mom lets you have two arch-enemies?"
You aren't an attack dog you are more like an red-eyed robot that exterminates anything that doesn't bow down to youYes but that sounds like too much of a compliment.
And we know how infrequently Madame X gives out those.
You know I asked the exact same question about Madame X being able to see through her mask in this forum someone said that the devs said that her mask is like one way glass or something so kinda like an iron man visor or somethingShe's wearing a fancy motorcycle helmet, gotcha.
Well the reason she doesn't have any pokemon on her is cause she is probably just as dangerous without one but ig a deathbird would helpIs she though?
That fight on the Pyramid suggested that Aelita and I were a physical match for her so she isn't THAT strong.
The fate alt timeline valrie had was better in v13 where she was tied to the mask of the ship up high and was basically screaming for the whole ride.Pffft.

Oh, screw off. That's not what racism means. I don't give a damn about whites to be honest(...you're an obvious exception) but I don't pretend like I'm fighting for equality/representation/crap like that.
But of course, nowadays if you don't like this show with a POC/minority/whatever, you're a racist, misogynist, hompohobic, etc etc.
Well that was a conversation and a half.
Yeah it's best to just ignore everything Americans have to say about race because they're idiots about it and come up with shit like "reverse-racism" because they're too focused on themselves and don't think about how that would work in the rest of the world. They seem to think we're all just blobs of one people like "Europeans" when Irish and Germans are pretty different.
Well thanks. Even though about 100 years ago I wouldn't have been considered white at all even with how pale the Irish are.
White people were/are usually White Anglo Saxon Protestants (WASPs). So basically it's all England's fault for this shit.
I'm pretty sure it's just try-hards on the internet that or like that though.

But then we'd probably be at Terajuma right now at best, and nobody wants that. Honestly a comic run of this game would probably take like 20 years.
Nah, the run would end at Blacksteeple due to the writer giving up due to not realising how much effort would be needed to complete this.
It'd go something like Madame X stabbing them instead of Nancy and they say some trite shit about telling their friends to go on without them.
As their eyes start to darken their last words are "At least...they'll be safe..."

Nahhh...Ash was using his genius level brain and invented the move Soak years before it became a thing.
I feel Overheat would have done the job. I think NPC trainer's abilities are randomized so there was a 2/3 chance that it'd have worked.
Shame I didn't do it though.
Bluedude:SpoilerOn 10/8/2022 at 7:31 AM, Bluedude said:Man I genuinely feel sad about that. I liked Zira and she’s been with you for so long.
Now only Caesar, Rose, and Chiller remain of the gang from the early days. Heck Mothball is still traveling the world, probably having his own RPG adventure.
At least we don’t have to worry about Rose dying, if she did you’d just pop out of reality in sadness and rage.
Yep. From like Chapter 6, I think?
From the Part 2 early days at least. While I caught them way earlier, I only started using Chiller and Zira after Blacksteeple.
Rose and Mothball are the only ones left who got regular use in the REALLY early days (which would be before my second badge.)
Pokemon that were always in the Box like Bass don't really count towards that.
More like I'd break reality with my bare fucking hands.
And sure, you guys don't have to worry about it but I (and the people of Kalos) do.

Probably fortunate, anime's got a bit of reputation in that front.
I'm sure you'll make sure she won't get stuck like the gentleman you are.
It's why I stick mainly to ones without that stuff.
Although I did see a weird one years ago where the anime girl was this delinquent's right hand? Japan is weird.
Yes.

Ah yeah. I remember reading that run back in the day when I first discovered Nuzlockes. Don't really remember much from it though.
Decorative Pillows are great! To show how much money you have and all that.
I don't remember a whole lot either, but I do gotta give her credit for finishing two comic runs when most dont even finish one. I think she's getting a PHD in medicine now, so kudos there.

Eyup, it was that kind of run. Here's hoping this doesn't happen in this run!
Invested or obssesed. Can't let Jan beat you after all!
Nah. This run, as we both know, is grounded in logic and reality.
Invested. If I was obsessed I'd have Aelita and Tesla body pillows.
Jan will never defeat me!

On 10/7/2022 at 2:09 AM, DerogatoryTrainer said:Hahaha great minds think alike. I was also thinking of this exact fight. But to actually do so would be a monumental amount of work.
Plus as we've seen, I can't draw for shit.
I'd change Android 17 to Sakitron though.
'Cause robots.
You could just paste the PC, Aelita, and Madame X's faces onto the DB characters and go from there. Probably still a lot of work, but its a start. That or you could commission someone for art but that's probably a LOT of money.
I feel it wouldn't be as good then. Like I could do it but it'd lack something.
Yeah, it's definitely not worth paying for it when I don't make any money even doing it.
I SUPPOSE it's possible to do myself but my lack of artistic talent stops me from going further than this:
I just can't get the fucking faces right.
Also Madame X is a fucking bitch and a half to draw.
On 10/7/2022 at 2:09 AM, DerogatoryTrainer said:Oh same. I feel that's a very common opinion. Phantom Menace is mostly saved by Duel of Fates being a banger.
Did you ever see the Clone Wars show? I heard that was good.
He shouldn't have been brought back, man. Being thrown down a giant pipe was a better fate than what he had there.
Which one there's actually two shows one in 2d and 3d. I love both. The 2D one is a short fun ride, but the 3d one is great too, but much longer and being honest not every episode is a banger. Especially in the first season.
Sad part this is the only the 2nd time he's been revived, there was a comic series in the early 90s called Dark Empire too.
All I've seen of the 2-D one is the ground battle of Coruscant and I THINK an episode they were on Felucia.
It was made by the same guy as Samurai Jack, right?
But no, I meant the one with the orange alien girl.
What's up with her? Why'd they give her such luscious lips like that?
I actually remember Dark Empire. People HATED it. Didn't Palpatine have the power to throw wormholes in it?
On 10/7/2022 at 2:09 AM, DerogatoryTrainer said:We've come to an agreement to just beat the hell out of any Grunts that even breathe in our general vicinity.
Like instead of teaming up with Aelita to fight those two Grunts in the Xen rocketship in a Pokemon battle, we just beat them with folding chairs until they pass out.
This alliance is on very thin ice and I am holding a hammer just WAITING to break it.
As you should, no reason Team Sean couldn't have done the whole pyramid. You do most of the work anyways, nothing new there.
There probably would have been a better and more sensible outcome if we did.
Was not a fan of Nastasia being allowed to shoo us out of the Pyramid for her own needs.
Team Xen literally only provided transport for that entire mission.
On 10/7/2022 at 2:09 AM, DerogatoryTrainer said:Which is weird, because in irl Japan it's the exact opposite.
I know...I'm not a fan of it. Seems like a lot of fuckers will be getting a free pass if all the evil is attributed to him.
I don't want another Reborn post-game scenario here.
All the post game stuff seems like Ame realizing she resolved precisely none of the character related stuff in the main game. It's honestly amazing in a not great way.
I remember someone telling me about a side-quest where the protagonist travels ten years into the future where they went missing for those ten years and that Charlotte is two gym leaders at once.
So despite everything the player did, the moment they were gone, these Reborn fuckers went right back to blatant nepotism.
On 10/7/2022 at 2:09 AM, DerogatoryTrainer said:Please no.
That would be immensely cringe.
Which makes it a before choice Rejuvenation!
Aside from the edge factor, Aegislash is possible the most unwieldy fucking sword I've ever seen.

Sean lulling Melia to sleep is way better!
The scene really only existed because I had the Master Nonexistantè joke pre-written and needed to put it somewhere.

That's. . . a good point! Yeah where the hell is everyone?! There's not even a good excuse for not steamrolling these discount Team Aqua punks. Guess we had to get to the castle somehow. . .
V13 corrects it but to us, it seems like the pirates just threw them all into the sea when they captured us.
We literally could have taken over the ship WITHOUT spending two weeks in jail and sailed to Blacksteeple that way!

That one was fun. I had to use the pink haired player character as a stand in for Nancy because there was no art for her back then.
It sustains itself on all the random ass videos uploaded there.
Part 1 seems like a simpler time, back when it was just Team Xen to worry about.
It's amazing that the days of Deoxys clones, Demon Pokemon and soul-splitting gym leaders were known as "simpler times".

No wait...that should be "how low we've sank".

Well actually I could and there'd be just as much improvement as if I actually did go along with Alexandra's training.
No rest for the wicked it seems, least you can't say you'll be bored!
Hopefully you don't lose a bunch of mons in that batch of filler too.
It should be a good laugh. I'm planning on having scenes where the rest of them call occasionally to fill me in on what they're doing and contrast it with whatever absurd nonsense I'm doing.
Nope. Part 5 has ELITE trainer, Sean. He knows what he's doing at all times.
Because he's going to write dialogue as the battles happen and not months or even years afterwards.
So no more "I forgot I gave Bright Powder to you" scenes for this guy!
On 10/7/2022 at 2:09 AM, DerogatoryTrainer said:That makes me hate it MORE.
Yeah but I could have gotten to beat Gardevoir's ass with Zolt like I promised the first time we met!

Nah, I'm going to flip the table and act super close to Melia when Venam wakes up so she'll seethe with jealousy.
Like she gets told that we spent two weeks in a dark future together and her mind will go: "they spent two weeks together"? "Two weeks with Melia..." "WHAT DID THEY DO DURING THOSE TWO WEEKS!?"
And then I'll catch her eye as I'm sitting next to Melia and wink.
Ah the now we see the true endgame, Venam/Melia/Sean.
I'm onto you know Sean!
Nononono wait! You've misunderstood!

QuotePirate Val doesn't somehow know I'm immortal, right?
Because this laser array seems way to good at countering me specifically.God wouldn't that be a wild twist with the baddies aware of what you are.
But nah it's just away to make you avoid obstacles I guess. There's a point the this arc in V13 where someone throws glass mugs at you and that damages your mons. . . somehow.
...
Huh?
Why do I not go over and smash one over their head?
I've seen that the pirates actually sing shanties in V13 though. That's an improvement.
And of course you have to handle the lazer shut off by yourself, could at least have one of the trainers team up with you. Though Double Battles seem to be a gamble in this game.
Oh fuck no. If Double Battles are the only alternative, I'll gladly do this myself.
I don't mind them so much when it's JUST me battling but when it's Venam and her Earthquake spamming Seviper...

Oh god it was all going so well. I don't think I've ever seen that move even used. And the 3d section made it cut even deeper!
Like damn this is not a good place to die, and not even to an admin. Just some random grunt.
It's Bluster all over again.
Good. That was the intention.
It's always worse when they die to absolute nobodies.
It's a little bit better than Bluster because it was an Aggron and I needed to get past this trainer.
Bluster died to a mouse in a completely optional battle.

Another of the old guard gone, she was one the reliable ones. Meanwhile, Melia feels a sense of relief for a reason she doesn't understand.
Between you and Madame X, Valarie is gonna be out of "children" real quick.
She didn't have as many stand-out moments as some of the others but she was solid. A bit like Caesar in that regard.
Yep. Melia is officially off the menu.
Only thing left to do is push on. Also don't beat yourself up too badly, you were probably thinking of Mega Aggron there. Also who knows it could have had Sturdy and you could have lost Star.
Just keep moving forward until all my enemies are dead, eh? I can dig it.
If I used Overheat and it didn't have Sturdy Zira would have been fine. I just overestimated Magma Drift, I think.
But yeah. I totally forgot the secondary typing. I do the same for Steelix sometimes.

Well Zira isn't affectionate, Zolt is a heartless machine, Dr. Zaius was being polite and Nova prefers to watch.

I’ve been thinking, maybe the reason you were sent to the past was to seduce Vivian then this would lead to the birth of Tealia and eventually Aelita. Not only that but since everyone else Sheridan is a single widow you could go after them. You could be the grandfather for most of the main characters.
It’ll be just like that hot tub time machine movie.

It is unfortunate that I didn't get to catch any post-apocalyptic Pokemon but I didn't mind it too much.
Oh, right. Silly me. Of course a locomotive as vain and fabulous as James would be picky about his specific shade of red. So vain that I used to think he's a girl. The eyelashes doesn't help...
I thought Toby was the girl myself. He has an old lady face. Plus James is a common masculine name but I've never met a "Toby" in my life.
I'm...err...not the brightest. Eheheh. In fact, remember the whole NatDex fiasco years ago? When I heard GameFreak claim they did that to improve their animations,
I legitimitely believed what GameFreak said.
Thankfully, after I found out that was a load of Rapidash crap, I wisen up and learn to not be such an idiot. Hopefully.
You believed the "small indie company prease understanderu" bullshit?
Damn.I'm glad you've recovered from your brain damage though!
But I'm definitely more to be heavily critical of giga corporations/franchise nowadays. In fact, you should be critical. Very critical. Super critical. Too harsh? Who cares! Giga corpos lose a few dollars? Oh, boohoo! How sad. Like I give a damn.
I'm devastated to hear this Hakim.
I'm going to go under my Mickey Mouse duvet and cry.
Which is baffling that some modern Marvel fans would sack their child to protect their poor, precious, pretty MCU from any (valid) criticisms.
Yeah I don't get how people can be that into them.
Like...who the fuck cares?
Sorry that people expected high quality from a multi-billion dollar franchise. Then again, when has comic books movies became good?
...
...
...Hmm. For some reason, I feel like I just pissed off a bunch of people.
It's fine. None of those people read my Nuzlocke or my comments.
I'm too based for their tastes.
Okay fine. I enjoyed the Spider-Man movies. but that's because Spider-Man is awesome! I dare you to disagree with me!
I dare AND I disagree.
Spider-Man, like all comic characters, being awesome is heavily dependant on the writer.
One day he's hunting down villains and the next he's selling his marriage to LITERAL SATAN.
That's when I stopped caring about comics.
I know, right! American weirdos. I mean, I already mentioned how much I love black characters, but if a show, especially an ASIAN show doesn't have one, I'm not gonna throw a tantrum. There's barely any shows that has a character that shares my race(the Malay race, or Melayu), yet you don't see Melayu throwing tantrums about that.
I'm not fond of seeing them in period dramas where they never were but I don't really care if they can at least act.
Like there was all this controversy about the Black elf in that new Lord of the Rings show but I was personally more offended by the fucking American Hobbits doing an Irish accent.
That and we already have our local animation. It's not as high quality like anime or western shows and it's obviously for kids, but it's still fun. For me, at least. I mean, it doesn't have any stupid political crap, so that's always a plus.
There's good and cringe animations in every country I think.
That and they look pretty cool. In my opinion.
Fun quiz! This superhero form is actually an elemental fusion from two elements. Can you guess what elements are those? The answer should be pretty obvious...
Water and Air?
Or Water and Sword if sword counts as an element.

Err...I think her hair's still brown. Although what would I know, mr-not-the-brightest.
Well at least you have working eyes.
Because it is indeed brown.
Hmm...I don't recall any Pokemon fangames ever tackled about...err...underage pre*nancy. Or se*ual assault. Despite the numerous edgy Pokemon fangames out there.
Oh they exist.
Well the latter does at least. Though I very much wish it didn't.
Too bad you spent all that time waiting for an ungrateful tablecloth to hatch. Another reason I don't like this arc. You don't deserve any love, Mimikyu!

I hear V13's pirate ship gets an actual bar and shanty singing.
Oh the things I've missed...
Including that boat. There were not that many trees on it. Or any trees at all.
That's good.
The trees were stupid.
Maybe it's a stretch, but there was a time where egg pokemon hatched at level 5 right? Or was that only for fossil pokemon? Because maybe because bad different future, most of the rules changed. Specifically for plot reasons but still.
Gen 4 I think but even a level 5 Mimikyu shouldn't have been able to do that.
The montage was great in all honestly. Even in V13 it took literally a day for the egg to hatch. We're on a boat with supposedly only 4-5 islands left in the world, there had to have been some time passing by.
Glad you liked it! Seemed more...I don't know...natural to do it this way instead of BAM HATCHED LET'S BREAK OUT IMMEDIATELY!
Besides that though good work on this part, even if not much really happened.

There's at LEAST five. You're forgetting Tesla and...uh...Ren's sister? I mean she's pretty good in Part 4.
Haha no nothing like that.
Reina's honestly one of the funnier characters in the game I think. Kinda helps that she seems to one of the ones not taking everything 100 percent seriously.
Oh yeah, that sounds about the right reaction for you. I expect more crying though.
Yep. She was a valuable addition to Team Sean's junior division during those few arcs.
Well...yeah but I'm sure the energy I'll give off will evaporate the tears.
On 9/23/2022 at 10:36 AM, DerogatoryTrainer said:Come sit on Onii-chan's lap, Aelita.
Well this game is already pretty anime, might as well use all those tropes.
I don't know many of them unfortunately.
...
Or fortunately?
I dunno. I'll just make sure to keep a close eye out for any tight crevices she could get stuck in halfway through.

Man...I think I'd rather have the kids without the wife at this point.
Like "oh good, my lineage lives on" instead of "oh good, there are now ten pillows we don't use on my bed".
Honestly I'm even turned off of kids at this point. Being around a lot of them at work didnt help.
Hahahaha. Well I should HOPE you're turned off of kids.
Man, talk about bad phrasing.
But yeah, fuc- scre- FORGET other people's kids. Damn brats.

Dear god what a fucking blow.
The same level of humor? After 6 years?! And here I thought I'd matured...
Maybe Titania and Sapphira, they seem like they're down for Team Meteor killing.
I meant that in a good way I promise!
It's very hard to find a well-adjusted person in that region, isn't it?
It's fine.
And like...actually fine. Not mad girlfriend "fine".
On 9/23/2022 at 10:36 AM, DerogatoryTrainer said:It's probably good experience for the others but I've been fighting at a disadvantage since day one since I'm STILL not allowed to have Full Restores or any of the GOOD hold items like Assault Vest.
...
Well maybe not Day ONE. Early game Dragon Rage was pretty OP.
Nooooooooooo...I don't want tooooooo...
I also didn't know there were any Avengers even left.
Pray to the Pick Up Ability gods is all I can say.
The roster of Avengers in comics is way bigger than the movie one. Thor is around still, plus Spider-man, Dr Strange and a bunch of the characters from the TV shows. They're going with them I think.
DAWN THE AMBIPOM! TIME FOR OUR DAILY 8 HOUR WALKIES!
I guess they could use them. They're always going to be compared to the old ones though.
On 9/23/2022 at 10:36 AM, DerogatoryTrainer said:Well of course I would. Coal's good for heating the house in winter! I ain't wasting it on a bunch of toerags!
And I am SELFLESSLY offering my body to multiple women! I've got this in the baaaaaggg...
Do any of them go for non-unique NPCs though? I remember seeing this weird manga about Brendan dating a Magma Grunt...
I have all you lovely readers still. I'll be fine.
Must be so difficult court all those women, truly.
No non-unique ones at least, Biggest example is Ky-nim's Platinum comic with the MC dating one of the gym leaders (her comic Run of Pokemon Black ends up using their child as the MC there) and another one dating Steven.
It's a nightmare. The entire bedroom is filled with stupid fucking pillows they don't even USE for anything!
Ah yeah. I remember reading that run back in the day when I first discovered Nuzlockes. Don't really remember much from it though.
On 9/23/2022 at 10:36 AM, DerogatoryTrainer said:ExpandI regret it already.
Cool. I'm doing the same and taking my word for it too. Because I also have completely forgot what was going on in that Nuzlocke.
Totally going to address them by name before I've met them to freak them out.
My amazing improved battling skills and knowledge will leave you breathless, Dex!
...
Either that or because we'll all need oxygen tanks by the time it comes out.
Far as I remember you got friendzoned by May and encountered Deoxys where you left off.
I reckon Rejuvenation the actual game will be finished by then at least!
Oh yeaaaahhh...and then I flew into a portal that was the actual friendzone, right?
Could have sworn I beat Wallace at one point though...
Oh ha ha. Not my fault I got way more invested in Rejuvenation.
...
Well okay, it is. But I don't care.
On 9/23/2022 at 10:36 AM, DerogatoryTrainer said:The second one is a lot more appealing. Carbonite just freezes them and you can't do much else other than hang them like furniture. Forced servitude in maid outfits is the way to go!
You and Vitus seem to have the same idea, since he seems to have stuck Anju in a maid outfit based on her portrait.
I mean...loosely?
I wouldn't have body-jacked anyone in his place. I'd rather be me and have the maids fawn over me.
On 9/23/2022 at 10:36 AM, DerogatoryTrainer said:All while shouting trite phrases like "PREPARE YOURSELF" or "TASTE MY BLADE"?
I can see that working.
Well the Madame X fight is definitely going to be a bit more than "shaky view of the setting sun" like it was in the game but I'm not sure how exactly I'll do it.
Hell you could even do a combo with your own mons, especially Rose.
I always figured that fight would look something like this. The MC and Aelita are Goku and Frieza, and I guess Melia would be Android 17.
Hahaha great minds think alike. I was also thinking of this exact fight. But to actually do so would be a monumental amount of work.
Plus as we've seen, I can't draw for shit.
I'd change Android 17 to Sakitron though.
'Cause robots.
On 9/23/2022 at 10:36 AM, DerogatoryTrainer said:Yes but they're the BAD people while we're the GOOD ones.
Mine is nearly anything Palpatine says.
Gotta be real the only one of the prequels I really like is Revenge of the Sith. I'm neutral on Phantom Menace and I think Attack of the clones is kinda bad.
Palpatine is a trip, but even he couldn't save that last movie in the sequels.
Oh same. I feel that's a very common opinion. Phantom Menace is mostly saved by Duel of Fates being a banger.
Did you ever see the Clone Wars show? I heard that was good.
He shouldn't have been brought back, man. Being thrown down a giant pipe was a better fate than what he had there.
On 9/23/2022 at 10:36 AM, DerogatoryTrainer said:I think he's from New York but that's a former English Colony so he's probably got some of that in him
Oh no need to be concerned. I was just going to play "If Pokemon were real, what would your team be based on a 20 mile radius from your home" kind of thing. I'm just waiting for Scarlet and Violet to come out because Fidough is perfect Pokemon for the upbringing I had.
A Yankee, that's even worse!
Oh well, for me it's squirrels, alligators, various birds, and deer. So at least I'd get Feraligatr, my favorite water starter, so I'm okay with that.
I'd pull my gun out but I'm afraid he'd have a lot more. All's I've got are two hunting rifles and one's really old.
I'm thinking one choice could be based on one of the holidays you've taken in your life. Like, you visit the Alps you could get a Druddgion or if you visit a desert, a Cacnea and so on.
Won't be doing it THIS chapter though.
On 9/23/2022 at 10:36 AM, DerogatoryTrainer said:don't do a good job of it this ENTIRE arc. Thank GOD she fucks off for most of Part 4.
Critics have called it "Nobody could have seen it coming" and "Nobody wanted this either".
But then you end up being stuck with Ren for the most part. Least you get to see Melia be humiliated on live TV during the tournament! Aelita then gives you the evil eye thinking you were using her to get to the Eldest!
I laughed at the time and then actually felt bad for doing so when I saw it happen.
I mean...it WAS funny but I could have at least not laughed in her face.
Can't think of a way to argue myself out of trouble there "N-no Aelita! I only wanted to fuck your grandma when she was young! Not the old bag of bones she is now!"
Either way, she's going to kick me in the face.
On 9/23/2022 at 10:36 AM, DerogatoryTrainer said:That's...just Power Rangers isn't it? Damn, Japan. Be a little more diverse with your plots!
Narrator: They in fact sent away the man who feasibly COULD take them for no real reason.
Nymiera's bloodline seems DETERMINED to fail at everything they do.
To be kinda fair, the only one of them who's actual seen you battle was Vivian, but she's too busy being dead.
Hey now Damien and Alexandra haven't COMPLETELY dropped the ball.
Vitus would have been no match for my cheese strats, I tell you!
True but the ball definitely bounced off the floor a few times before they caught it by finally deciding to bring in the guy who's been solving all the region's problems so far.
On 9/23/2022 at 10:36 AM, DerogatoryTrainer said:ExpandAnd she doesn't even mean to do it which is worse.
I'd say it's more Caesar's job than Rose's. Rose keeps me centered but she's too agreeable with whatever I decide to do.
Like if I decided to murder Kakori in person instead of with a fire, she'd probably be fine with doing it. Caesar wouldn't.
...
Unless it was a Xen Base. Then he'd be first in line.
Love her, but yeah that's pretty true about Rose.
Can't wait to see how Caesar reacts to having work with Team Xen in Part 4. Sure he'll be thrilled!
We've come to an agreement to just beat the hell out of any Grunts that even breathe in our general vicinity.
Like instead of teaming up with Aelita to fight those two Grunts in the Xen rocketship in a Pokemon battle, we just beat them with folding chairs until they pass out.
This alliance is on very thin ice and I am holding a hammer just WAITING to break it.
On 9/23/2022 at 10:36 AM, DerogatoryTrainer said:We're more than fine with just the first group. This game is VERY anime after all. And what's more powerful in anime than a motley group of teenagers?
Who is Indriad NOT the father of at this point?
Teenagers are truly the most powerful beings in anime.
It literally seems to be it's all Indriads fault at this point.
Which is weird, because in irl Japan it's the exact opposite.
I know...I'm not a fan of it. Seems like a lot of fuckers will be getting a free pass if all the evil is attributed to him.
I don't want another Reborn post-game scenario here.
On 9/23/2022 at 10:36 AM, DerogatoryTrainer said:Timpea and Spacea have Savior Complex beaten in the bitch department.
THEY'RE THE ONES WHO TAUNTED HER INTO DOING THIS SHIT!
Okay yeah, shit they could have stopped this at any point! Feel like they're gonna reveal a reason for not intervening and its going to be uniquely unsatisfying.
"We literally just could not be bothered to help, Melia."
On 9/23/2022 at 10:36 AM, DerogatoryTrainer said:She is also completely useless like everyone else during cutscenes so that's nice to see.
Also she falls down a trap door which will definitely make me make a Mr. Burns joke.
I honestly still can't believe she fell for the oldest trick in the book. Maybe she really is a version of Melia, because that seems about her speed.
AND IT'S HER OWN FUCKING CASTLE TOO! SURELY THE TRAP DOOR EXISTS IN BOTH OF THEM, RIGHT?
Even with her anime edginess and super suit, the doofus genes are too strong to overcome.
On 9/23/2022 at 10:36 AM, DerogatoryTrainer said:That'd be excessive force though, Dex.
Can't have that. They're only children...
Yeah because pile driving them is a-okay. I see how it is. . .
Don't kids have bendier bones or something?
It'll be fiiiiine...
On 9/23/2022 at 10:36 AM, DerogatoryTrainer said:She is the only one who'll make me hesitate on killing all of them with the detonator at the end.
Kenneth and Amber made their bed by betraying us to Melanie.
Yeah that whole bit with the fake diamond is the dumbest thing. Glad Mosely knee caped that whole plot but swiping the real thing.
And how they all immediately take Melanie's word with no proof backing it up is another fucking pisser.
On 9/23/2022 at 10:36 AM, DerogatoryTrainer said:More like I'm going to have to wrap her in fucking bubble wrap the amount of times she's gotten her ass kicked.
At this point CQC would be pissing in the wind because she won't be any good at it.
SHE DOESN'T EVEN HAVE A SINGLE FIGHTING TYPE!
Her Aegislash learns Sacred Sword, that counts right? If nothing else, she can pull a Titania she can use it as a weapon.
Please no.
That would be immensely cringe.
On 9/23/2022 at 10:36 AM, DerogatoryTrainer said:Yeah. Only notable ones are against Valarie and Kenneth.
I think you get to fight Melanie in V13 but from what I've seen you're also supposed to lose a fight to Melia or something?
And fuuuuuuck that.
I think you can still win that fight, but don't quote me there.
I'm not too sure either. Only that winning the fight is supposedly the "bad" choice like how it is on Eyclpsia Pyramid.
On 9/23/2022 at 10:36 AM, DerogatoryTrainer said:NNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO-Excuse me what the fuck do you mean "You'll have to do!", Melia!?
AS IF YOU DIDN'T JUST HIT THE JACKPOT!
Melia: Whatever you say Sean. Dye you hair purple and then we'll talk!
Bitch, you only started liking Venam in that way when she turned her hair brown like mine!
On 9/23/2022 at 10:36 AM, DerogatoryTrainer said:One was MEANT to be Amber but I kind of phoned it in by not colouring their hair.
Only the graps got colour for some reason.
I'm guessing its the girl on the left. I only realized it when someone said something on the Nuzlocke Forum. I think it was Pika.
Yeah, I got laaaaazy.
It's a real problem when I come up with additional jokes right as the chapter is about to be posted.
On 9/23/2022 at 10:36 AM, DerogatoryTrainer said:I'm not even sure this future is real. Could all be a simulation.
Because HOW likely is it that Mosely's parents had her 40 something years after the region imploded? They probably weren't even born at the time!
At this point the only thing I can say is roll with it. It'll decrease any migraines you get from this game by half at least!
Gotta keep rollin' rollin' rollin' rollin'
On 9/23/2022 at 10:36 AM, DerogatoryTrainer said:Pfft. I can just imagine that.
"The weak should fear the strong".
It would have certainly been preferable to the way I put her to sleep THIS chapter though...
I'll say this, I was taken completely off guard by how you did here. Well done?
Thank you.
If only the Derogatory Elders were as open-minded as you, Dex.
SpoilerOn 9/26/2022 at 1:08 AM, Dex said:First off I gotta say I was half expecting you to just skip to the hatching, but this works a million times better. Might be one of the best chapters on this part of the part so far.
No half-assed job this time! It ended up happening because this chapter was going to be short for obvious reasons and I didn't want to combine the two out of respect.
I'm glad you enjoyed it though.
You probably could have taken on the whole crew right then and there. The only real threat among them is the Captain, and that;s not saying much. But hey plot and all.
I could have. It would have been easy if not for the hostages that literally stopped existing the second we got on the boat.
Like WHERE are they? They aren't anywhere on the ship!
Yeah the introduction of bad future Valerie has no kind of impact, because again, we haven't talked with the real one is ages. Kind of makes sense to use her as pirate at least. Water Trainer and all that. Least her team here is kinda cool.
Pretty much every bad future character's introduction has no impact bar Melanie's.
It is a bit cool indeed. A "Dead Sea" theme is a novel choice.

I actually made a video about it back then.
Couldn't put it on Youtube because it was using Queen song and footage from that terrible Sherlock show.
Here, if those of at home had forgotten about it like I did until I started typing under this image.
Or never saw it in the first place.Oh god I forgot about that one, I'm still shocked Dailymotion is up and running. The one with Madame X as Vader is my favorite honestly.
Dailymotion will never die. It persists in the shadows of it's greaters...not getting stronger or thriving though...just existing.
That one was fun. I had to use the pink haired player character as a stand in for Nancy because there was no art for her back then.
It really is sad that that whole two weeks is the most amount of relaxation you'll get for god knows how long. It'll be back to back disasters after this.
We'll get like...three days off between Part 3 and 4 to avoid any time paradoxes about the stuff I did before going to the past. But yeah. That's about it until Part 5.
And even then, Part 5's filler is a training adventure. Gotta get all the Crests and some new powerful Pokemon! Can't spend all my time just sitting by the beach!
...
Well actually I could and there'd be just as much improvement as if I actually did go along with Alexandra's training.
Honestly with the egg being the key to escape, only thing I can think of is that the Mimikyu is like absurdly busted like its the child of Ash's Pikachu or some such nonsense. It manages to scare off that gardevoir later so it kinda works maybe?
That makes me hate it MORE.
Yeah but I could have gotten to beat Gardevoir's ass with Zolt like I promised the first time we met!
Now I'll NEVER get to do that!
QuoteExpand
Wow good thing you're immortal or that would be a death flag right there.
I mean...
It still is.
The Lullaby bit caught me off guard completely, guess you are warming up to her a tiny fraction. I imagine Melia will tell Venam and she'll either laugh or be jealous. Not sure which would be funnier.
JUST A FRACTION, HONEST!
Nah, I'm going to flip the table and act super close to Melia when Venam wakes up so she'll seethe with jealousy.
Like she gets told that we spent two weeks in a dark future together and her mind will go: "they spent two weeks together"? "Two weeks with Melia..." "WHAT DID THEY DO DURING THOSE TWO WEEKS!?"
And then I'll catch her eye as I'm sitting next to Melia and wink.
QuoteExpand
I suddenly want to stop.See you're almost encouraging Melia x Sean at this point. Smellia can even be the ship name!
FUCK THAT WORKS.
The only other ones are Selia or Melian and neither are very good.
I like the part where your telling them about their alternate selves. Ambers about the same, Mosely still gets a raw deal parent wisse, and Kenneth is doing shockingly well here. Borders on hilarious really.
I almost left that part out due to how long it was. but if you enjoyed it I'm glad I decided to take another day and finish it.
Gotta say it is kinda weird having a chapter with so little imput from your mons. Caesar would have had a field day.
It was refreshing to know they can't blackmail for anything that happened in that cell.
And now with your team back, you can do the now even easier job of taking of the ship thanks to your sneaking and Madame X's rampage. Hope Nova is doing a good job of covering Mosely's eyes!
You know how this works, Dex. Things start looking up...and then they come crashing right back down to Earth.
On 9/26/2022 at 1:08 AM, Dex said:Hell at this point, I might end up just staying here. I said to myself I would make a profile on that forum eventually but never got around to it.

Doesn't say anything about them being equal though, just that they're the highest amongst their amazing peers of Melia, Venam, Ren, two children who only started training Pokemon a month ago and Pokemonless Kanon.

You also get way more questions but that’s par for the course.
It's...dramatic at least? And that makes for some good content.
I don't think the player gets much information that I haven't already figured out. We had that weird dream with someone whispering in my ear about how I was the "Interceptor" and "whose body will I inhabit next?"

Plus a lot of that place is tracts and tracts of hyper-murderous wildlife like Deathclaws and Cazadores.
And that's not forgetting the actual fucking aliens going around.
No, for me I'd pick an easy one to live in like the Walking Dead. The only reason that the characters from that struggle is because it's a Tv show and they're written to be retards.
Especially since I'd still be here on a relatively small island with a population of 5 million.

It honestly does look wine colored so you're not really wrong with the color there.
Impossible. Nothing can be better than something I own because I am the one who owns it.
It's nothing THAT severe. She's making me like her as a passing acquaintance.

She just ran away because she didn't want us to hear her shriek "GO GO GADGET JETSKI" because that'd ruin her dark edgy vibe.

Yokai Watch sucks though.

Might be more doable. But I am DETERMINED to finish this Part by the end of the year and we still have 11 chapters to go with only 14 weeks until then.
But putting it another way, that's 100 days. Which sounds like way more time.

I never said I didn't wash myself, just that I don't take baths.

I try not to remember that awful fight. Super glad I didn't use any stat decrease moves to get through it at least.
That's because I usually only mention the top three, the others don't come up as much.
It will never happen so I won't even consider what I'd do.
Just get Saki's money and that little problem will work itself out.
Top Three, more like the Only Three.
I'd assume if Rose died the whole party would just keel over like she was the MC of a Persona game.

It's fine. I've got a method that'll work.

Oh over 40 years, nevermind I'm living large then.
No worries, I'm not even at the get a wife stage yet.

I even make use of it out of battle when Solaris tries to cut off my head in Blacksteam.
Priority +6, motherfuckeeeer! YOUR OVERLEVELED SHARK IS POWERLESS AGAINST ME!
Definitely. I've improved too much so I can't churn them out like it was 2015 because my standards have gotten too high.
These last two months of slow updates was mostly due to work, lethargy and it being fucking hot most of the time.
Hopefully it'll get better soon.
Still dumb of the MC to have his back to the enemy team leader at all. Imagine a world where Solaris had actually suceeded, Reborn would be doomed.
Yeah, reading your early Reborn stuff and the current Rejuvenation run, it's like night and day difference. Still same level of humor though. For better or worse.
There's always Fern to the rescue, right?
Dear god what a fucking blow.
The same level of humor? After 6 years?! And here I thought I'd matured...
On 8/22/2022 at 11:32 AM, DerogatoryTrainer said:Psshhhhh...fucking amateurs if that's the case. I haven't played Rejuvenation in over two years and I'll still be in top-form when 13.5 finally drops! Yeah. I reject their offer to go to things that would ACTUALLY make me stronger like getting new Pokemon, Crests or Mega Stones. Not playing around with mono-type battles.
It's better there than here for that at least.
Uggghhh...just what we need. Infinite What If stories.
It's the fighting at a disadvantage "training" that gets me. Like that isn't half the battles in this game with the field effects heavily weighted towards the otherside.
Shoot two of the last three marvel movies have involved the multiverse in a major way. The next set of Avengers movie is gonna feature it heavily apparently. So you'd best believe in the Multiverse, because you're in one!
It's probably good experience for the others but I've been fighting at a disadvantage since day one since I'm STILL not allowed to have Full Restores or any of the GOOD hold items like Assault Vest.
...
Well maybe not Day ONE. Early game Dragon Rage was pretty OP.
Nooooooooooo...I don't want tooooooo...
I also didn't know there were any Avengers even left.
On 8/22/2022 at 11:32 AM, DerogatoryTrainer said:Well the same was true for the older Pokemon games and look how much smut those have now. Do the official portraits appear in later version then? I assume so since most weren't drawn back here in Version 10.
I honestly attribute that to them being more played. I imagine on a relatively tiny fraction of people who've played to official games have touched anytype of fangame, let along something like Rejuvenation.
Also yeah the portraits only appear in V13.
Sound reasoning there. I myself would have thought there'd be some because most niche places on the internet are horrifying dens of sin. Glad to be wrong here.
Ah I see.
I'm glad Zumi made them. Makes the memes so much easier to make.

So I guess I'll just have to wait until I'm old enough to go grey.
Of course. Why settle for less or have to actually choose? I think it'll work out fine. Most of the top-tier girls don't seem like the jealous type and if they are...Well this is Pokemon. I just have to find our what type Jealousy is weak to!
That...isn't a bad idea, actually. Maybe if I ever track down Potion Lady who saved my run...
Yeah she does. But it's WEIRD to be appreciated for it.
You do that and you'll just end up looking like Irish Santa Claus. Instead of coal you'll probably just throw rocks at naughty children.
I'd assume Jealousy is weak to Selflessness. . . maybe I dunno?
Wouldn't be the first time a Nuzlocke run romanced a NPC, I've seen a few comic runs do it.
Just take the appreciation, man. Be awhile before you get more of it.
Well of course I would. Coal's good for heating the house in winter! I ain't wasting it on a bunch of toerags!

'S what is says in the summary on the Nuzlocke forums at least.

I'm thinking it'll just be a complete rewind but slightly off due to the V19 changes.
Like the evil Celebi or whatever the fuck was going on in the Alphabetlocke sends me back to the train about to pull into the city. But I won't be passive about my foreknowledge. (which lasts up until Amentrine Mountain)
I think it could be fun to go back and give my Pokemon a bit more life to them.
This is the path you chose.
To be honest I completely forgot what exactly was going on in the Alphabetlocke so I'm gonna take your word for it about the Celebi. Messing with Team Meteor with future knowledge should be funny at least.
I'm genuinely interested in seeing Reborn with your improved Nuzlocking(?) in 2030 or so.
I regret it already.
Cool. I'm doing the same and taking my word for it too. Because I also have completely forgot what was going on in that Nuzlocke.
Totally going to address them by name before I've met them to freak them out.

Sucker's bet there. There's a small chance it'd be white...but as I said. A SMALL chance.
Freeze them in carbonite and use them as decoration like in Star Wars, or even worse make them clean up your mansion/home/evil lair as eternal punishment.
I'd only bet on white because of you know Arceus, but its long odds there.
The second one is a lot more appealing. Carbonite just freezes them and you can't do much else other than hang them like furniture. Forced servitude in maid outfits is the way to go!

Instead of pokemon battles, you and Melia/Ren/Aelita/etc punch, shoot, and slash with combo moves. Be pretty cool to see. Maybe you could edit that in for the Madame X fight at the pyramid?
All while shouting trite phrases like "PREPARE YOURSELF" or "TASTE MY BLADE"?
I can see that working.
Well the Madame X fight is definitely going to be a bit more than "shaky view of the setting sun" like it was in the game but I'm not sure how exactly I'll do it.

I think there is in later versions? Like we learn more about Valarie in Aquamarine Cave and whatnot.
Sadly, I missed all that so to me she's just "That woman from Blacksteeple who gave me a decent battle"
Oh yeah forget she was the one with money. Maybe Thomas was really that good in the sack?
Yeah the trouble with constantly updating fangames. Before V11 Val barely has any presence in the story after the gym battle.
Probably not hard to be when I'm 99% sure she was a complete virgin up until she met him.
He's no match for Vitus/Indriad though. Man was slaying it for centuries. Nymiera, Anathea, Narcissa...the man's a legend.
Yep. They got kicked to the curb pretty hard once Veronica showed up.

Although Poke-Ireland gives me an idea for a game we can all play...but I'll save it for a later chapter.
I didn't know Jan was English! My gosh this explains everything!
Can't wait to see what you got planned there, a little concerned but that's just reading this run in general.
I think he's from New York but that's a former English Colony so he's probably got some of that in him
Oh no need to be concerned. I was just going to play "If Pokemon were real, what would your team be based on a 20 mile radius from your home" kind of thing. I'm just waiting for Scarlet and Violet to come out because Fidough is perfect Pokemon for the upbringing I had.

I DO warn Angie but we know what these Aevians are like when it comes to heeding my warnings.
Its not TOO complicated. Ancient kingdom on the moon destroyed, royal family and their guards reincarnated as teenagers and they fight a stupid variety of demons, androids, and what is essentially Galactus in a shiny sailor uniform. I liked it as kid at least.
"Bah we can take 'em!" -Angie 19XX.
Narrator: They could not in fact "take 'em".
That's...just Power Rangers isn't it? Damn, Japan. Be a little more diverse with your plots!

That'd be a twist of the century. Human Sean is the moral compass to Sprite Sean's sociopathy.
Maybe it's because he doesn't get all the Rose interaction I do?
Melia ruins everything, yep that about sums it up.
Would make sense considering Rose tends to keep you from going TOO far off the deep end at times. A Sean without Rose is probably about as bad as you joke to be.
And she doesn't even mean to do it which is worse.
I'd say it's more Caesar's job than Rose's. Rose keeps me centered but she's too agreeable with whatever I decide to do.
Like if I decided to murder Kakori in person instead of with a fire, she'd probably be fine with doing it. Caesar wouldn't.

Unless it was a Xen Base. Then he'd be first in line.

We've got Team Xen, Team Anti-Assist, Bladestar, The Androids assholes Clear and Kieran, V, the woman after Ana, whoever is behind Amaria-Black, Indriad, Timpea&Spacea, Timpeas&Spacea's boss, The specific cause behind Storm 9, the PuppetMaster, the Inkay that think they're aliens, Karen and probably even more.
I genuinely don't think we'd notice if someone new was manipulating Kanon.
And all you've got is your motly group of teenagers, Damien and April, plus the Storm Chasers for whaterver they're worth. Good thing non of these baddies are really working together, or you might be in real trouble.
Though for Indriad, I'm betting money of him being the "father" that Madame X talks about if you beat her. So that one connection at least.
We're more than fine with just the first group. This game is VERY anime after all. And what's more powerful in anime than a motley group of teenagers?
Who is Indriad NOT the father of at this point?

You know Tauros of all Pokemon is getting 3 regional forms this gen? Now I love me some Tauros but that seems both excessive AND lazy.
Make NEW cow Pokemon already!
I'm just curious how it'll look in the anime. Probably be hell to draw and animate on a regular basis.
I think those leaks about Tauros are fake but who knows really.
I can see them just slapping a filter over it and calling it a day.
Maybe...Spain IS famous for it's bullfighting though.
I didn't think they'd make a Pokemon out of a pot of tea either but here we are.
On 8/22/2022 at 11:32 AM, DerogatoryTrainer said:Yep. Never knew about Sandstorm doing that until now.
Guess that means Arenite Wall is a lot more useful than I though.
Sandstorm is a really good weather effect, there's a reason there's whole teams built around it.
I'd say use it if you have a good mon for it. Claydol would have been great one for it. . .
Don't think I ever used any teams based around Weather before. Must look into it.
Don't remind me of Damocles...I'm even more annoyed that Claydol got a cool Crest already...
On 8/22/2022 at 11:32 AM, DerogatoryTrainer said:He MIGHT have, honestly. All this was played in 2018 and I don't have any pictures of their movesets for this part of the game so I just went with the joke of him not knowing it. Because I can't figure out why 2018 Sean would have used fucking Electro Ball there.
Be shocked if that wasn't what happened. 2018 Sean seems like reasonably intelligent fellow.
Nah, he was a retard with occasional bursts of genius.
But to be fair, 2026 Sean will probably say the same about me.

Or any of the chapters afterward. Probably would have just stolen Kenneth's boat and murdered my way to Blacksteeple in a haze of red.
Yeah that would have that would have been a 180 mood wise. Probably wouldn't have been nearly as nice to Melia as you were, relatively speaking.
Oh no. Definitely not.
I'd be downright abusive and it wouldn't have been fun to read.
On 8/22/2022 at 11:32 AM, DerogatoryTrainer said:I plan on it. We needed more move specific gags in this show and that's a pretty good one.
Need to find more moves that'd work for them too.
I think Abomination learns something called Solar Flare so I could probably turn that into a DBZ joke easily enough.
How about Rose getting irrationally angry at everything when she uses Outrage, though you've probably used that one already?
Solar Flare is a good one, if you have anything that learns moonblast that could be a easy Kamehameha/Spirit Bomb joke.
Nah I don't think I'll do the Outrage one. If anything I'm the one who saps all the actual outrage from the move.
Hmmm...I don't think I do yet. Don't have very many fairy types but I suppose Nancy's Sylveon would work.
I'll have to look at my Pokemon's movesets and write some out.

Right?
I'd say at least a quarter to third of the main plot is his BS, the rest well you're best guess is as good a mine.

Timpea and Spacea have Savior Complex beaten in the bitch department.
THEY'RE THE ONES WHO TAUNTED HER INTO DOING THIS SHIT!
Oh and it just gets better with everyone's favorite sword wielding, leather clad tyrant. Denied vengeance, Sean must team up with his most hated foe.
. . . Okay team up is a strong word, you barely interact with her for most of this arc to be honest. Sure you're not complaining though.
She is also completely useless like everyone else during cutscenes so that's nice to see.
Also she falls down a trap door which will definitely make me make a Mr. Burns joke.
Least you get to maul a pack of kindergarteners to make you feel better. Hell you could have thrown out anyone of your mons and got them to back off too. This is funnier tho.
That'd be excessive force though, Dex.
Can't have that. They're only children...
Alt timeline Mosley is like the only thing that keeps this section of the game from being completely grim and serious. I'm extremely thankful to the little gremlin for that.
She is the only one who'll make me hesitate on killing all of them with the detonator at the end.
Kenneth and Amber made their bed by betraying us to Melanie.
Kenneth roundhouse kicking Melia made me laugh I gotta admit. She actually gets beat up more in other parts of V13 if you can believe it. Gonna have to teach that girl some CQC.
More like I'm going to have to wrap her in fucking bubble wrap the amount of times she's gotten her ass kicked.
At this point CQC would be pissing in the wind because she won't be any good at it.
SHE DOESN'T EVEN HAVE A SINGLE FIGHTING TYPE!
There's few Pokemon battles here so punching it out works for me!
Yeah. Only notable ones are against Valarie and Kenneth.
I think you get to fight Melanie in V13 but from what I've seen you're also supposed to lose a fight to Melia or something?
And fuuuuuuck that.
QuoteONLY when the world collapses, does Keta get a fair hand dealt to him.
Christ, Jan. What did he DO to you?God what didn't he do the man. Honestly death was probably a relief for the man at a certain point.
His ghost did seem pretty unbothered by his death. He can be at peace with Nora and Taelia now.
...
If Nora is actually dead and if Taelia isn't still inside Aelita.
MAN EVEN IN DEATH JAN. WHAT DID HE DO!?!?
The whole environment looks grim, kinda like the design. I imagine when they say 5 islands, I'd like to think thats just whats left of the Aevium Region. I imagine the rest of the world is about the same.
I can see it.
The rest of the world probably leaves the Aevium region the hell alone what with the whole acidic ocean thing. It'd also explain why nobody in the other regions has bothered to deal with Melanie.
It'd be nice to get some concrete info on HOW devastating the cataclysm was though.
Only 91 species of mons left, man Gamefreak cut the Pokedex pretty fine this region. Man imagine if you had to do this entire arc with just the six Pokemon you had on hand to fight Vivian. Be a hell of a hard mode challenge at least.
This is the worst Dex Cut I've seen in my life. Where's the Twitter outrage about this one!?
I do TRY to do it with only the six I have on hand.
Mainly because the PCs working in every time period and without any infrastructure annoys the hell out of me.
QuoteSeanXMelia can stay in Bizarro Aevium where it fucking belongs.
Melia: Well Venam's a statue and I don't know any of these other people. Guess you'll have to do Sean!~

Truly a work of art, this belongs in every art museum in the world. I've noticed that the girls all look like pre-coma Aelita.
One was MEANT to be Amber but I kind of phoned it in by not colouring their hair.
Only the graps got colour for some reason.
The future is dire, but somehow internet memes transcend space and time. Maybe Mosely's a time traveler too?
I'm not even sure this future is real. Could all be a simulation.
Because HOW likely is it that Mosely's parents had her 40 something years after the region imploded? They probably weren't even born at the time!
I'm surprised you didn't suggest putting Melia in a sleeper hold at the end there. Unconsciousness counts as sleep right? Surely the next day won't be as bad as the first, right. . . right?
Pfft. I can just imagine that.
"The weak should fear the strong".
It would have certainly been preferable to the way I put her to sleep THIS chapter though...
Okay finally got this done, haven't had time to actually sit down and type this before now.

Crystalizing sounds cool...if you know, it doesn't make the Pokemon look weird and hideous. Although I do feel concern about the balance of the game. Imagine a Dragon with a Steel Tera Type....then again, that's the same problem Megas had, and I love Megas.
Megas are still cooler, though.
I feel like it'd be improve if it also locked the opponents pokemon in. As it is, you can counter Terastallize pretty easy by just doing what everyone does when facing a Pokemon with a type advantage. Switch your Pokemon for one that doesn't.

I always disliked it because they're like a hundred times weaker than when you fought them in a boss battle.

And while it is a bit cool, it's much less cool once you realize that you basically trade weakness out for another. So if you crystalize into a fire type, good on you for no longer being a grass type. Just instead now have all the weaknesses of a fire type pokemon. And from what I see of it, it's not like a second/third temporary type either. It just overrides the others.
Helpful in a pinch, but single types tend to have a decent chunk of weaknesses depending on which one it is.
They've got to stop with all the gimmicks in the 3-D era. We've had a new one every Gen since 6.
Another hit to the "cool" factor is the stupid fucking hats they get. The Grass type one looks like they put a fucking Lego flower block on it's head.
It seems very pointless since you can just do what everyone does when faced with a type disadvantage and switch out your Pokemon.
Now if it FORCED opposing Pokemon to stay in it might be worthwhile to use.

It does give me a headache when I try and figure out how the fuck all these kids were able to become Champions and not even a year has passed. Like damn. I can't imagine you'd lose much viewership with the kiddies if you aged Ash up to at least 15 years old.
That reminds me that I have no idea what anime N's status is. Showing up for an event like this would be way out of character anyway tho.
Didn't iirc the Unova anime actually age Ash up to 11? I remember that being a thing. There have also been various mentions of months or years having passed in the anime so everyone is just canonically immortal.
Yeah I doubt he could randomly recruit many wild Pokemon from inside the stadium anyway.
I couldn't tell you. I stopped watching the anime when they stopped running it before school about fifteen years ago.
QuoteWell you were wrong about Lance but sadly not about Iris.
Iris SHOULD have fucking won though. Just so I can get more action shots for Rose. They also missed an opportunity to use Gems since those were Gen 5's gimmick
I still can't wrap my head around why ALAIN of all fucking characters. Should have been Tobias.
And I bet rich rock boy's Metagross hasn't fought as many Pikachu's either.
Even then, Ash's team is extremely OP. He has ALL the gimmicks while his competitors only have one (and Iris, none)
I guess trying to predict the anime was presumptious of me; I've stopped understanding what the heck they're doing ages ago.
For under-rep'd mons like Haxorus any big showing is a win, fan creators eat well with that.
I guess Alain showed up because he's a relatively recent character, Tobias is an anime-original character that last showed up more than 10 years ago. The anime's a bit of a continuity hell like that.
My girl came close. Cynthia had to rely on Mega-Evolution to win so Iris basically won that battle.
I think people would have appreciated Tobias more as an old joke that really send the fandom screeching but I guess Alain is a more recent and palpable version of him anwyay.

Rhyperior in fangames more often than not run Solid Rock+Assault Vest which always makes them weirdly bulky against things you'd expect them to die to. Also Sandstorm buffs SpDef for Rock types in case you forgot.
Makes sense. I think my grievances with them came from King in Reborn who didn't have an Assault Vest.
Nor did I know Sandstorm buffs SpDefense. I don't think I've ever actually used Sandstorm strats before in all my years of Pokemon.
Ho, I'm pretty sure back when I played this there was an actual scene of Erin showing and then bein erased. Anyway, remember how this arc was supposed to be about Aelita? Who just got time paradox'd out of existence? Funny how these things go, huh?

You could be like Tony Stark or Bruce Wayne with the superpower of lots of money, to make yourself a suit immune to that nonsense.
God those Golems had Contrary and I think Rift Aelita has an ability where every time she takes damage, her attack goes up. V13 with those damn shields makes it worse.
Your best girl list is pretty thin, I think nothing short of killing Rose would get you to remove her from it.
Problem is that they're also pretty SMART on top of rich. I'm clever at best so I don't think it'd be as easy for me.

She intentionally didn't want her self-insert to do anything, I think? Something about it taking away from the player?
I see you've forgotten my joke about this during the backtracking filler arc. Which is understandable. it was a while ago.
All of my Nuzlockes are part of the TTCU. The Terribly-Titled Cinematic Universe.
As of now, Reborn, Rejuvenation are the only definitely canon entries. Snakewood is more of a What If? And Rising Ruby is...something?
I don't know. I don't actually watch any Marvel stuff to get this 100% accurate.
The training thing, best I can think of is that Jan and Co were going into it thinking a lot people playing were going in after not playing the game for awhile and were rusty. Even then, I feel like there should be some kind of option to opt out.
Ame not wanting her self-insert to do anything is fair, but I gotta take points off for the other characters stealing the spotlight. Radomus for a more infamous example.
Well apparently now there is a Marvel Multiverse, different dimensions and stuff so you're honestly more accurate than you think.
Psshhhhh...fucking amateurs if that's the case. I haven't played Rejuvenation in over two years and I'll still be in top-form when 13.5 finally drops! Yeah. I reject their offer to go to things that would ACTUALLY make me stronger like getting new Pokemon, Crests or Mega Stones. Not playing around with mono-type battles.

Very true. That was one of Reborns main selling points (aside from it's..."maturity" compared to other Pokemon games)
Rejuvenation's main selling point is probably the characters and the bonkers story. Like Reborn is good and all but I don't really LIKE as many of the characters. The Battles in both are decent enough though. Still my favourite Pokemon games even if they make me want to scream.
Reborn's field effects, I feel like you'll never use even half of that stuff but I do like the options (when it's not being used against me at least).
I have many issues with Rejuv's story, but I can't deny I have fun with it. Half the fun is just seeing what they can do with little Pokemon Sprites.

I reckon the characters not being in 3d helps. Most of the game is just sprites, and the official portraits only pop up every once in a blue moon.
Well the same was true for the older Pokemon games and look how much smut those have now. Do the official portraits appear in later version then? I assume so since most weren't drawn back here in Version 10.

That's potentially game breaking, I gotta imagine there's some kind of major drawback.
Could make it a once per battle sort of thing for Nuzlocke, maybe?
It's only got 1PP is the drawback.
Seems they're adding a lot of unique type of tricks this gen what with Cyclizard's Substitute U-Turn move.
Or sacrifice Pawni's life for another Pokemon. I think it gets an evo so we'll see what happens.

I really hope for someone to make a new franchise that's actually good at some point but the odds of that are incredibly low in this day and age.
Honestly I'd just prefer single standalone movies. Every other attempt to make a franchise in recent years outside of Marvel has met with disaster.

The based and redpilled options right there. I'm going to aim for the harem ending in the post-game. I think I can make it work. The only ones that will be spared will be Melia, Venam and Lavender. Melia & Venam's exclusion should be obvious and Lavender is excluded because I wouldn't do that to my boy, Huey.
Emotional Baggage: The Region. Maybe I should just find a nice NPC to settle down with instead...
The only one I know for sure is high in Rejuvenation is Melia due to that whole "I trust Sean with my life, he's the best" thing she tells Erin in the Blakeory Anatheum.

Don't know how I feel about that, tbh.
Hard part for me in the morning, is taming this dang beard.
Harem ending, shooting for the stars there aren't you? God luck keeping all those women from fighting each other and/or you.
In Reborn you probably should just find (or create) a nice NPC.
You save her life time and time again, Melia had better trust you with her life.
I contemplated growing one once. Only to find out it's ginger and not my actual hair colour.
So I guess I'll just have to wait until I'm old enough to go grey.
Of course. Why settle for less or have to actually choose? I think it'll work out fine. Most of the top-tier girls don't seem like the jealous type and if they are...Well this is Pokemon. I just have to find our what type Jealousy is weak to!

All the more reason for me to build and then take the throne from those corrupt fools.
I'm going to install psychic screening for all government employees so corruption will be a thing of the past.

I WILL be their king. Just imagine the power I would wield after becoming Champion? None of my Pokemon have to die anymore! I CAN SPAM ALL THE MAX REVIVES I WANT!
Jan will either be executed or turned into the court jester.
Who will then by executed in a hilarious manner.
Say it with me now: UNLIMITED POWER!
I always liked the prequel trilogy but somehow every single line of dialogue becoming a meme has only made it better.
On 7/22/2022 at 6:01 AM, DerogatoryTrainer said:Jan would definitely redeem himself in my eyes if he made us choose between the entire city of GDC or the characters he KNOWS we care about like Aelita, Ana and Mosely.
Like fuuuuuuck. Can you imagine if he did that and it stuck? I'd go so far as to call him "based".
Good god, that would be quite a choice. I feel like it could potentially happen but I'm not confident enough to bet on it.
Neither am I but hot DAMN would it spice up this game!
On 7/22/2022 at 6:01 AM, DerogatoryTrainer said:It was probably incorrect too. I imagine most anime girls are smooth as silk down there.
He gives as good as he gets.
And how do you know that, might wanna delete your search history.
Caesar has clearly spent way too much time around you.
You tell me the last time you saw an anime girl with body hair and I'll accept defeat on the matter.
It's for the best. Too much time on his own depresses him.
On 7/22/2022 at 6:01 AM, DerogatoryTrainer said:I guess the gym circuit helped with it a bit?
Plus there's loads of Fighting type trainers who want to train in the mountains and Sheridan's the most mountainous town there is.Mountains are like classic anime training grounds so it makes sense I guess.
They're prefect for both mind and body.
Plenty of waterfalls to meditate under and plenty of rocks to smash with your bare hands.
On 7/22/2022 at 6:01 AM, DerogatoryTrainer said:Anju is pretty decent, yes. It's a tie between her and Vivian for me with Nymiera taking second.
Hazuki is obviously last due to being tainted by Blakeory seed.
I wish the game would acknowledge that stuff more. Melia should be wary around her, Aelita should develop an aversion to Electric types after her torture, Amber should cheer when whales end up beached on the shore etc. etc.
Would make them feel more alive as characters I think.
Who knows maybe Hazuki had the same idea as you and married Thomas to get to his money?
There's so much plot stuff happening that simple character stuff gets left by the wayside, there's not a whole lot of downtime for the characters other than you the PC when you're doing sidequests.
She was ALREADY rich though! And it doesn't seem like something her younger self would consider being the easy mark that she was.
I think there is in later versions? Like we learn more about Valarie in Aquamarine Cave and whatnot.
Sadly, I missed all that so to me she's just "That woman from Blacksteeple who gave me a decent battle"
On 7/22/2022 at 6:01 AM, DerogatoryTrainer said:I'm telling you. It's the Bermuda Triangle of the Pokemon world.
(Weirdly enough, I read somewhere that Jan said it was close to Galar. And the nearest island to Britian is...oh god...)
Aevium being Poke Ireland is hilarious to think about. Seems like this game was the perfect choice to nuzlocke for you, eh?
It's definitely not though.
As you'll see in Chapter 147, Jan hates the Irish.
Although Poke-Ireland gives me an idea for a game we can all play...but I'll save it for a later chapter.
On 7/22/2022 at 6:01 AM, DerogatoryTrainer said:We just have those kinds of faces, I guess? Like Melia and Aelita, I get. They're pretty girls with upbeat personalities (most of the time) But me? Some sinister bespectacled fellow hanging around girls ten years younger than him? Not a chance anyone trusts me.
God I hope not.
Maybe she thought you were their bodyguard? You're more grouchy than sinister most times that involve child napping and meglomania.
Just imagine Souta jokingly challenging you to battle for hitting on his woman.
Yeah I can see that. Especially with Melia.
And ESPECIALLY in this arc.
"IT DOESN'T COUNT IF YOU WERE DEAD AT THE TIME SOUTAAA!"
And then he throws me into the clouds using his magic
On 7/22/2022 at 6:01 AM, DerogatoryTrainer said:One of the fuckers on the Nuzlocke Forums pointed out that I would be the Tuxedo Mask of the new generation and I can't help but agree that there are a LOT of parallels between us.
Yeah. They really fucking dropped the ball by telling us to leave and let "them sort this out".
Sprite Sean is also to blame for this since he KNOWS what happens to Anju yet does nothing to stop it.
Honestly its not a bad comparison. The old anime kinda underated the guy, he apparently kicked ass in the manga.
At this point the PC not saying anything to them about what happens kinda makes you look like a asshole. I get that doing that would probably throw the whole plot off the rails and make more work for the writers, but still.
At least give Anju a hint to watch out or anything.
I never digested any Sailor Moon media besides the English opening and Dub compilations on Youtube so I don't know what the story is.
Well it's not entirely my fault, is it?
I DO warn Angie but we know what these Aevians are like when it comes to heeding my warnings.
On 7/22/2022 at 6:01 AM, DerogatoryTrainer said:Yyyyep.
Winter is both easier to upload due to the darkness and the room not getting overheated from the three lamps I have on for lighting.
Doesn't help that one of those lamps is nearly older than I am. It's like the one piece of furniture from our first house that survived all these years.
A good lamp is like a family heirloom really. Who knows maybe its the key to some kind of ancient prophecy in your family?
Maybe? The only other object that's been around as long is a Thomas the Tank Engine plate from when I was a baby and I don't think that's a likely contender
Chapter 141 Comments:
SpoilerOn 7/27/2022 at 4:57 PM, Dex said:Meddlin' Melia ruins everything, which can sum up this whole arc in a nutshell. Like it wouldn't be so bad if Sprite Sean had provided the important context. I'm starting to think that you're the good side and the sprite just wants the so the world burn.
As depicted in the new titlecard "Nice fucking job, Melia"
That'd be a twist of the century. Human Sean is the moral compass to Sprite Sean's sociopathy.
Maybe it's because he doesn't get all the Rose interaction I do?
Heracross Poop Stink Bomb. . . are we sure Cella and Vivian are friends? I guess they had to get the time amulet out of Aelita's hands somehow. Carnage almost being erased from existence was pretty funny I gotta say. Love a good Back to the Future Reference.
Yeah, stink bombs are a little much, even between friends.
Glad you liked it! It took a lot of work.
Also I sure hope Melia wore gloves, though at least the game didn't make you pick it up which is a nice change of pace.
Gloves were provided.
But Cella weirdly made it sound like the gloves were part of the attempt to convince us.
Like if we immediately said yes and asked no further questions, she wouldn't have given them to us.
The whole self sacrifice spell, I'm sure something would have gone wrong, but I kinda wish their was a route where the PC had kept the info to himself and ended up agreeing to secretly help Vivian or something.
But then we wouldn't have this oh so fun bad future arc!
There's time travel in this story, Dex! Can't have a time-travel story WITHOUT the bad future plot point!
Honestly you should be used to characters not actually stopping people from running way. Though if Vivian is anything like Aelita, she probably would have folded you with mystic martial art nonsense, so that's probably for the best.
Ah but I know a martial artists greatest weakness!
Being a lot bigger and heavier than them!
They'd be powerless against my "bear hug and then fall on them" technique! Or the classic "Wrap around and lie down on the floor" manuveur!
QuoteExpandSo maybe there's some other bitch pulling Kanon's strings? Someone we haven't met yet?
Hmmm.God I hope not, there's already enough antagonists as it is in this game. We don't need a 5th or 6th party involved.
Christ is the number even higher than that though?
We've got Team Xen, Team Anti-Assist, Bladestar, The Androids assholes Clear and Kieran, V, the woman after Ana, whoever is behind Amaria-Black, Indriad, Timpea&Spacea, Timpeas&Spacea's boss, The specific cause behind Storm 9, the PuppetMaster, the Inkay that think they're aliens, Karen and probably even more.
I genuinely don't think we'd notice if someone new was manipulating Kanon.
I gotta admit that Vivian summoning Regirock scene was pretty cool to look at. Also those Regi sound effects never get old, poor Regiggas sounds like he needs a major software update.
Much more cinematic than Anju's at least. Hope Regigigas' intro is even more impressive.
I think they're important in the new anime for that Goh guy's quest so I hope they keep the noises in.
On Galarian forms, Gamefreak has always been kinda bad with the distribution of these gimmicks, friendly reminder that non of the Kalos starters got Mega evos in XY, but freaking Charizard got 2. And no I don't count Ash-Greninja because that didn't even come out till the next generation.
Enter Terastyling. The new stupid gimmick that'll be gone next gen!
You know Tauros of all Pokemon is getting 3 regional forms this gen? Now I love me some Tauros but that seems both excessive AND lazy.
Make NEW cow Pokemon already!

I'm honestly surprised you Ren even has stars, I figured you would have ripped them off after him joining Xen.
You can't lose stars unfortunately. The bad doesn't outweigh the good.
Vivian just randomly shanking you is hilarious. Stabbing in the heart without a care for your feelings, women right?
They usually stab you through the back when doing it.
But of course, being a woooooooman, Vivian can't even get that right.
That battle was pretty hairy at a few moments there. Rhyperior surviving that first Giga Drain was probably due to Solid Rock plus that Sandstorm Special defense buff.
Yep. Never knew about Sandstorm doing that until now.
Guess that means Arenite Wall is a lot more useful than I though.
Also yeah you definitely gotta update that moveset for Zolt, I could have sworn it knew Discharge but I guess not.
He MIGHT have, honestly. All this was played in 2018 and I don't have any pictures of their movesets for this part of the game so I just went with the joke of him not knowing it. Because I can't figure out why 2018 Sean would have used fucking Electro Ball there.
I clenched when that Bruxish almost killed Caesar, be a hell of a bad time to lose a mon considering what comes next.
I certainly wouldn't be as upbeat as I am this chapter.
Or any of the chapters afterward. Probably would have just stolen Kenneth's boat and murdered my way to Blacksteeple in a haze of red.
Dr. Zauis Mind Crushing Mega-Zam was probably the best part. I'd say keep Nasty Plot, his Special Defense is already pretty good, plus it's probably one of your best running gags to be honest.
I plan on it. We needed more move specific gags in this show and that's a pretty good one.
Need to find more moves that'd work for them too.
I think Abomination learns something called Solar Flare so I could probably turn that into a DBZ joke easily enough.
Also yep this is all Melia's fault, plus Cella and more than a little bit of In game Sean. I guess you could say its time to go . . . Back to the Future?
I blame Indriad myself. It's HIS fault it's all happening, right?
...
Right?

SpoilerOn 7/27/2022 at 7:36 PM, VMeemes said:The poop thing is a bit funny, though the v13 version is at least slightly more sensible, i.e catching a heracross (which I think is shiny of course because Melia) and getting it to stomp all over Vivian's garden (and because of the update, after you deal with that time travel stuff you can change the future by cutting a cherry tree sapling. Changes route 2 to be less cherry blossom. Just a neat little thing.).
Still I wonder how this version of events go down, since it's a different update and all. It'll be interesting that's for sure. And take all the time you need! No need to force yourself.
A BIT funny, he says. Such high praise.
I mean...it's not really much better? Why did we need to catch a Heracross when we could have used any of our own Pokemon? Hell we could even use the Heracross I actually OWN.
I saw that. Had fun chopping and replanting that thing over and over.

Alright fellas and...fellattes(That one sounds wrong)
Here are my replies to your replies!
The Terribly Titled Nuzlocke of Pokemon Rejuvenation will be going on a break for an unknown amount of time but I'll still be skulking around if you need me.
I hope you all have a Happy New Year!
Lspaceship:
I'm glad you enjoyed it so much, man! Thanks for reading all this time!
It's a bloody big pain in the arse, isn't it?
Oh well there for certain won't be a restart of the run, I've come too far for that.
I'll just restart the game, copy over all my current Pokemon dead&alive, play up to this point and we'll just pretend nothing ever happened!
That is of course, if I actually want to. I have SOME good ideas for joke and whatnot but I'll need to see how I feel after a break.
Hahaha I can just imagine you raising a glass and having to stand there with it until I come back with a new chapter.
Gentleman Jaggi:
It's a good game mechanically and has a lot of neat features...but the story really needs to be trimmed down and the stakes reduced.
Like we went from saving our kidnapped mother to ALL OF REALITY being at risk now. Bit too much of a jump there.
Ah yeah I remember that scene. You get kidnapped because the only rendition of you Bladestar has is a fucking crayon drawing. Morons.
I needed to spread the suffering so it's not all condensed on me, with this Nuzlocke I spread the taint to others lessening my own burden.
IIIIIII might. I've got some ideas of what I could do (Maybe actually finish Rising Ruby) but for now? I dunno.
I'm doing a Soul-Link with Pikafan over on the Nuzlocke Forums. The main running theme of my part is genital trauma!
SoulN7:
Ain't that the truth. Glad all my OCs I made as a child are safe in a notepad or on my textbooks somewhere.
Haha they really should have known better in 2015. Even I, who's never played Overwatch could tell what was going to happen.
Personally, my favourite is the big buff Russian gal.
It IS still possible to bring them forward but the amount of stuff I'd have to correct is a pain in the ass. Not sure if it's a bigger pain in the ass than starting a new file though. Were there any? To me it seems like a lot of fun mechanics got ADDED and I unfortunately played most of the game without them...
Well good on you for it. I myself just don't see how they could tie this thing together satisfyingly.
SOME Meta is okay for like jokes but it actually being integral to the story is a huge bummer.
I'm not wholly convinced of quitting juuuust yet. But some comments I've seen have people too intimidated by it's size (lol) to actually read damn thing. And it's only going to get worse should I continue.
Z..:
Well there's no real need to make the distinction.
The NPCs don't matter after all.
Killing you would free you of this torture.
And none are allowed to escape Jan's clutches.
It was mentioned by someone that destroying Sheridan's Xen HQ bases in the mountain and the wetlands dried up Xen's supply of Shadow Pokemon but I don't buy that. The Wetland base was being packed up and moved elsewhere. I think Jan either forgot or moved onto those PRISM POKEMON things. Whatever they are.
Honestly, I doubt even I'll be useful for anything other than "Hey, Sean? Could you risk your Pokemon in this battle so we can defeat the enemy with our superpowers? K, thaaaanks!"
At least Aelita might be able to karate kick someone really hard.
YingYang9705:
It was V13 when it got REALLY bad, I could shrug off a lot of the past stuff but the much bigger changes are hard to deal with.
Not hopefully.
It HAS TO BE done.
I JUST HAS TO.
All the love I've gotten from people who want it to keep going has helped with that for sure.
Jesus, it's almost been 8 years, hasn't it? With Gaunt disappearing (hope he's okay) I think you're my oldest commenter that's still around, YinYang. So thanks for sticking with me for so long.
Bluedude:
My advice?
GO BACK. THE REAL WORLD SUCKS. RETURN TO BABY.
But hey, don't despair I might come back to it as soon as late next year if the inspiration strikes me. I've still got plenty of jokes to tell.
I could deal with crazy but unfun crazy? That's a whole other story.
Haha yeah, doesn't the plot of V13 basically make Aevium the most important place in existence now? Like hit the brakes a LITTLE, Jan.
Multiverses becoming very popular was also a major hit to writing. People are fucking obsessed with that shit and it's so dull.
Very true. What's the saying again? A single death is a tragedy but a million is a statistic?
I will say however, if the story just stuck to the destruction of Aevium or even the entire world, I'd be invested.
But all this shit about different timelines was unneeded and lowers the stakes immensely.
Like who cares what we do now? Why bother stopping Team Xen? Another timeline can do it.
And they will all be women.
Because Jan is based and appealing to my specific fetish of dominating divine women.
Thanks, Jan!
Vmeemes:
Are you telling me that Part 1, Part 2 and Part 3 are now basically different fucking timelines?
Or they would be if I don't forcefully make them the "Derogatory Timeline"?
But pretending I didn't, what the hell happens to the timelines I tumble from?
WHY was I skipping from timelines!?!? I didn't INTEND t-
OH MY GOD! I LEFT A TIMELINE THAT HAD COOLTRAINER ADRIAN IN IT!?!?
