    Elementary My Dear Sylvester! Pokemon Ashen Frost!

    That's a lot different from the usual fangames, almost a breeze of fresh (or freezing, I guess?) air. I like the atmosphere and especially the music (although I wish the "victory" theme didn't feel more epic than the battle tunes). 

    Do you know if the "titles" of the cases mean something? Or what would have happened if you tried formulating another accusation or using the wrong evidence?

     

    And I wonder about the Chief saying that the stakes were higher... What could that possibly mean?


    Of all the fangames I've played on this site... I'd definitely recommend this game cause it's just so different in a good way. The atmosphere and the music were also what sold this for me 😄

    The titles so far have been more or less puns or common phrases used to describe the cases they hold, out of the 14 I've played I didn't notice anything that would signify they go beyond that. I recommend giving it a try! There's a hard mode if you also want challenging battles and the normal difficulty if you wanna focus on the story and cases.

     

    Good luck TC on your run thru the game! :))

    Finished the game a day after I posted lol but thanks for the reply!

     

    Spoiler

    Warning: Random story ramblings ahead! Skip to avoid bad opinions xD

    I never got the impression it was Hart all along making the choices, maybe b/c I always play at 2x speed so it looked like an error xD 

     

    Mordecai being a Flores was a twist that I did NOT see coming! It just made the guy even more interesting, as if Larry Butz was suddenly made the judge for a day for some crap reason xD Though his initial thoughts about 'Syl just using him' or that 'he can trust no one but himself' -prior- to Roswell getting into his head about these things felt a little forced. Their relationship seemed swell; Syl even offered him a place to stay in the meantime when he was evicted, so it felt off. Or idk maybe I missed a line or two of interaction between them that made Mord's thought normal

    Is SylxLuciano gonna be a thing or are the characters observing their interactions just being playful?? Regardless, they cute together romantically or otherwise ^u^ LuSyl/Syluci FTW

     

    The retreat house in Mt Trebel can stand to be a bit more "zen". The inside's fine, it's the outside I mean xD

     

    I appreciated the Bidoof Serenity sidequest (but Bidoof 's cries will no longer be innocent to me) as this expounded on the world outside the 3 prominent families in the city. The main chapters make the most simple sidequests (see: lost Vespiquens and Combees) and link them back to the Lonardos. And while this is great cause it just solidifies the grip they have over the city, it was nice to a quest that was NOT caused by them (yes yes Bidoof connects to the scientist that went poof I know, but the Lonardos had no hand in their failed experiment)

     

    The chapter with the courtroom and judge. My god. So good. Honestly, this was what I was expecting back when Pokemon Present was still an early thing. This has all the right stuff going for it, and it's made even better by its scarcity. Quality over quantity of room court cases 


    Just random battle/exploration things ahead!
    Based on a previous poster's msg here, the Zapdos vs Articuno fight was supposed to be unbeatable? You can exploit Fly or even avoid using Wild Charge for the recoil and Arti dies to the weather present, which kinda makes it derpy lol (unless it was patched up to be that way)

     

    Forgot to mention that Regenerator doesn't work methinks. Tried with U-Turn and manual switching and healing never happens

     

    The way the game greets you upon entering Mt Trebel base (i.e. the game somewhat opening up akin to entering Chrysolia (sp?) forest for the first time in Reborn) was just amazing. The music was on point and the area was just really well made, the trek towards the mansion was great! But the decor of the place was something unexpected and even seemed archaic when compared to the Lonardo's mansion

     

    Overall, the demo was great! The cases, the selection of music and setting, and the characters are <3. I'm just a little sad that not more people are giving this the attention it deserves. All the best to the developers! :))

    Noticed more bugsv2

    Lol sorry to be back so soon.

     

    Spoiler

    Just wanna report that the Double Battles for the Casino option has been removed. It automatically assumes the player chose Single Battles. 


    EDIT: More things
    I've had 2 instances wherein the cursor would just go crazy and just pick an option without me clicking on anything. The first one was in an old version before the first Hart fight. But as I'm currently using the latest version and it has happened again (in the second Hart fight) I think the first one is buggy as well. 

    There are instances when I battle where the battle-text gets really small for some reason. Wasn't able to note the specific cause but it has happened multiple times. It goes back to normal in the next battle though. 

    EDIT 2: More things (im sorry huhu)

    I'm pretty sure I received the Rock Tomb TM twice already (the second one came around Case 7-9??


    Story/Pokemon Related concerns:

    Also, not a bug. But I'm stumped with the Cascade Capers case. I've scoured the campgrounds with both Syl and Mordy and I've gotten only three clues: the autopsy, one of the twin's testimony and Eloise testimony that the Rockruff isnt hers. So far, I've chased the purrloin with the key and got out of the well, talked to the twins. But I dont have the key nor is Juno anywhere (maybe she's behind the locked door, but I wouldn't know lol). I've checked beyond the campsite, and gotten Morpeko, Throh, and some things I missed with Mordecai in Neo.

    Oh, I also had (Adamant I think) Truffles chasing that guy, but that led to nowehere lol. So yeah, kinda lost about this 

    I never did find the Applin after saving it in the Cafe District. Was it a bug or am I not trying hard enough xD

    So after a hectic October, finally got around to continuining the game! Some thoughts and/or probably issues

     

    Spoiler

    Currently at the blizzard bay/casino case (Disclaimer: These are just some suggestions and comments! hahaha ^_^")

     

    Music taste is impeccable as always. I hear some Mewmore tracks as well!
     

    Many characters are introduced and sometimes not all of them get the kind of introductory spotlight that would make me think "Oh, this guy's important. I better remember his name/mug." It wasn't a problem in earlier cases, but it became apparent around the Python/Monty case, I've had instances wherein I went... "who?? Have I met this guy already?" Idk what can be done. Maybe make Syl have an expanded intro as we meet the character for the first time? Or have a bio in the menu for important people that appear across cases. One thing the Ace Attorney games does is making the characters/witnesses plenty unique through their exaggerated appearance or personalities. And that game has limited exploration and NPC interaction, compare AA to this where we talk to a -lot- of people... I think it would help here if their sprites are more unique, but I can understand it would somehow clash with Noir-esque vibe this game is going for.  So maybe a bio thing like what we had in FRLG for the gym leaders would be nice?

    I love that we meet the characters after the cases! Something I'd love to have seen in the AA games. Though I feel these characters can be expanded further aside from how they are doing. Unless.. there IS something that happens in the future cases for them. 

    Bugs (I think):
    You can bypass the lock on depositing Truffles by catching a mon and letting truffles go to the PC

    Game crashes when I speak to the lottery guy again after the lotto numbers are revealed.

    Is the "Level 50" supposed to have your mons at their natural level and not bumped to 50? Or is this intentional?

     

    Other than the above, I'm having a blast with the game! ❤️

    Came back to say I'm on Case 2 and wow the game has really polished up! The music (and subtle reference) and the overall setting is still great!

     

    Just a random note in the pokemon center by

    Spoiler

    Syl's office where you can get random mons for money, the mid tier will sometimes crash at random. Idk what causes this tho, otherwise everything's smooth so far.  I'm playing the latest version btw :))

    Got to play the game (Demo III) and I was up till the second case till a bug prevented me from moving from a single tile. But fwiw I was a fan. I found the overworld, the music, and the atmosphere very fun and unique for its time (though it was pretty overwhelming to explore the first time around) and I kinda forgot this game was in my comp.

     

    Now here I am searching for a new version and I was scared af as I couldn't see the Present anymore in the threads. Thank god it's still here. Excited for the re-release :))

    V12 Leader (Spoilers)

    in Pokemon Rejuvenation

    Posted

    Probably the easiest gym leader so far that I didn't change their native field (Amber - Bounce and Blizzard, Souta - Smack Down xD). I came in not expecting a Gym Battle actually but I OHKO'd most of his team except for that Torterra,  which took me 2 more tries before realizing it had a crest and inverse effects. After that it was pretty meh, I expected more from the ground type honestly. And Megarupt was sorely disappointing because it didn't outspeed half my team which weren't speedsters in any regard, thus allowing me an easy kill. 

     

    Nim and the double battle with the red hair after was more troublesome. 

    Rejuvenation's music

    in Pokemon Rejuvenation

    Hello rejuv fans!

    This has been on the back of my mind ever since Terajuma's music revamp, but may I ask where I can download or get these music tracks that are seemingly rejuvenation exclusive (I've tried looking thru GlitchxCity's page to no avail)

    The music I'm referring to would be the Terajuma Island's, the slowed down Night GDC theme, the music that plays when

     

    Spoiler

    Ren gives you Nancy's Sylveon before going into Zone Zero?

     

    And any other such original tracks because honestly rejuvenation has a beautiful assortment of tracks.

    Where do I go next? [REJUVENATION]

    Been so long since I opened rejuv. After returning to GDC from Route 9, I tried wandering around the city looking where to go next. So far, I've met Mosely (which I think is a sidequest) and Ana's robot drama, but since the scholar district is closed as of now... I'm lost. Where do I go next? Sorry, kinda lost with the narrative.

    Bumping! I've tried searching the apartment, the underground base, even nightmare GDC. Really lost where to go after heading back to the city after returning from route 9 😞 

     

    EDIT: I found the event triggering the episode's story. Thanks anyway!

    Mimikyu or Deino location?

    in Pokemon Rejuvenation

    Posted

    Mimikyu can be found on the basement of the Mirage Tower iirc (you have to break all the mirrors on the first floor and the last one would show you the way)

    Deino requires you collecting 3 Dark Materials (One is in Iola Valley, I forgot the other two and I'm pretty sure they're out of the way / you need rock climb)

     

    EDIT: I just realized this is the rejuvenation subforums! If you're asking about rejuv then they're not yet available, but if this was meant for reborn then yeah they are ^^

    Favorite song in the soundtrack?

    in Pokemon Rejuvenation

    Posted

    Liking the mellow feel of the music on Terajuma shore/marianette's house. Anyone know what it's from??

    Also, Purity Cave. Very fun, light, and hopeful. Couldn't even recall what game / track it was at first, all I knew I was sure it was from a Mystery Dungeon. Treasure town is indeed a good song.
