I think it was somewhere around the part where you were mad at the code

[optimization finale: "fuck i gotta stop doing this"]

honestly bless you cass. you've done so much incredible work and deserve nothing but love for it. if anyone wants to disagree they can feel free to contact me directly and I'll be happy to tell them to eat shit 

 

With all the cool stuff that the fangame community as a whole has managed to collectively produce, essentials could become a mighty god indeed with a unified development front....

Oh there's already a 10 year plan for the Essentials Cinematic Universe in production

It's like a spinoff movie from the animation loading!

I'd think of a clever and witty comment but my brain is now running slower that the latest version reborn because it's late at night so you're out of luck 

 

fast good. 

 

cass good.

[optimization o'clock]

thanks essentials
very cool

maybe it should reflect on its actions for a bit

[18.4]

It feels nice when one line can do so much
it also tends to make you feel like an idiot for the fact that it wasn't there before

[Exciting new developments in videogaming]

but what about the straightmers?

[LOL random XD]

 

 

 

 

Spoiler

so, first of all, right now the randomizer only affects pokemon and moves, and they affect each on a 1 to 1 basis: if mudkip is randomized to mewtwo, mudkip is always mewtwo. the same thing goes for moves. to make this work, the randomizer guy pops out three numbers. one is the base number, and two are the modifiers. the base number is what determines where you start; the modifiers determine the order of the mons/moves that come after that.

for example, if i get 5 as a base and 2 as a modifier, then bulbasaur would become charmeleon, ivysaur would become squirtle, venusaur would become blastoise, and so on. when the total hits 805, the counter loops back around. moves basically work the same way.

 

The Ol' Caesar cipher razzle dazzle eh? very nice.

[Difficulty Modes and Battle Chart]

nice.

(now actually on the version of this post that isn't the hidden deleted one)

hey babe wanna see my cool rainbow chart

[Crappy Comrades? Poopy Partners? Dogshit Doubles?]

but when are you going to add the hardmode option that does nothing except disable the bit where the AI intentionally uses a weaker move to leave you on a few HP or save PP?

Gold=Dragon

Purple=Saphira 

 

ah yes in all the chaos of postgame I may have forgotten that E19 story exists too. also dragons are the thing that exist and hoard. well, not exist exist, but you know what I mean.

I'm thinkin spicy legendary sidequest of some form? then again I would've thought like darkrai or hoopa but according to the progress bars (which never lie right?) they've not been started and of the completed ones not sure it would fit so maybe not hmmmmmmmmmm (surprisingly, hoopa is not a geenie in this context)

either way looks great
thank you for tuning in to this episode of midnight ramblings from dream.

I'll arrange my collection of royalties for the trademarked term 'aipdate' in the near future.

[Status Report and Mining Update]

waiwaiwaiwaiwait there's a starlight demo coming that soon!? that's really cool, I kinda didn't expect it to be this far along while Reborn was still in progress. Interested to see how it turns out! 

good luck with the devving and managing various sources of pain.

there's more, but they're seeeeeecret.

and frankly, if y'all have suggestions, we could put it in! if it's not already in. which it might be! seeeeeecrets.

I don't know what it should do, but 'budew' definitely needs to do something as a password.

[did you know that passwords]

Wow, simply incredible. 

 

I'll 100% be using the first and last ones all the time. 

 

those 315 bugs are mighty persistant though aren't they

Those are some sick bars you have there @andracass, can't wait for them to start dropping

(Though I do recommend putting the other stuff above all the legendaries maybe for readability, with the total at the top? special case and all that jazz)

 

Overall seems like lots of fun and suffering to look forward to!
