      Hmm... That's after you beat "Gym Leader" Angie right?

      Yeah.  I know it's supposed to disappear at some point, but I don't know how soon to check back.  I guess after Mt. Valor is finished is a good time to......

  2. While this playthrough of Rejuvenation has reinforced to me the importance of Speed Control, it's also reminded me of how slow I am at playing Pokemon compared to most people I've talked to.

  3. I forgot how much I hated the Water's Surface field.  I wish that Misty Terrain actually canceled out the Water's Surface field effect but everything still outspeeds most of my mons. 

     

    How does Primarina's Surf on it have enough to knock out a full HP Tangrowth.  Sure it's not EV trained yet but come on.......back to square 1......again.

      At least its not the Underwater one. You're basically required to find a way to get rid of that unless you're doing a Water mono or something

      I'm glad I'm not going by any 'no item' rules or anything like that

      Dealing with Underwater (and then Water Surface) for my mono-fire Intense run was uh...interesting.

  4. Well, I didn't expect the Madame X fight to go that way.  Cursed Body really came though and keeping Protect on Swampert was a good decision. 

     

    I feel stupid for leveling up two Meditite and Graveler only to forget that the Madame X fight came another fight......so I didn't bring them.  I definitely worked better this way.  Thank you, Pickup for the Revives.

      My Banette's (S) Cursed Body really came through during this fight for me as well!

  5. A few days after the new Sw/Sh trailer and I already have to take a second glance at artwork on my timeline to make sure whether it was Youmu or Bea I saw.  The comparison/outfit swap artwork is out (3 below), and the 'tanned Youmu' and 'Alolan Youmu' jokes have been made (only about an hour after the trailer).

      That was fully a joke post, but I guess I didn't put any indication that it was pure sarcasm and just assumed.  I think that setup will take Gengar's place as much as I think Arcana Force will be a meta force in the physical Yugioh card game in the near future.

      Oh, I knew it was a joke, I just felt like seeing it reach its logical conclusion anyway. And hey, I got to make reference to its ride animation LGPE, so it's not like its a totally pointless endeavor~!

      Oops.  I probably shouldn't respond to things when I'm sleepy but can't fall asleep.......

       

      It had some unique animation there?

  8. I was so focused on Keta that I forgot Marrianete gave me the most trouble out of the gym leaders last time in V9.........and I don't even have a fire type move for Beware. 

     

    Time for some looking/training.........

      Defff use ribombee! That monster is a staple and I am trash for forgetting that little one 😁

    3. SilverAngelus

      SilverAngelus

      Alola Raichu made this fight super easy

      and then Jan made the Apophyll Pancakes available much later in the game (Telia Resort)

       

      But really, Maqqy coudn't be more correct~

      Thanks to the field and their swift nature, Ribombee receives quite the power up!

    4. seki108

      seki108

      Really?  My A-Raichu must have been really slow because I remember it was getting outsped a lot and didn't didn't really hep this battle.  Maybe I just wasn't using it right.

       

      While not the 'tear through everything' it might have been with fully invested Sp. Attack IVs, training it's speed was enough for it to take down 2 1/2 mons, though I went ahead and trained most of my attacking most that kept getting outsped.  With 5 Pickup mons (though only in the 20's), it was quite profitable.

  9. First regular Keta caused me to have to train two new mons and use a gimmick strategy to win, and now Revant Keta is about to make me do the same. 

     

    It took long enough to figure out how to get him down to his last mon, but then that mon is Gallade and it sweeps the three I have left.  .....dammit

      Once again, right after I complained in a status update, the pieces came together.  Stop making me look bad RNG-esus!

  10. Inter-spliced in the Rejuvenation hype:   The 'flashback' portion of the Gundam 40th anniversary trailer was a tad nostalgic, even though they continued the trend of screwing Cristina again by only having 'hamburger' appear in the 'War in the Pocket' section.

     

    The only thing I'm interested in the 'upcoming' section is the new G Reco project.....at least so far.

     

    "Together with you, Gundam never ends".  Quite a line there.

     

     

  11. ............of course almost all of my Rejuvination team is weak to the coverage on Keta's first two mons or just physical hits in general.  Why wouldn't they be?!   I'm probably actually going to have to train up a new mons.  I don't think I've every used Xatu before, since I've used most of the other Flying types encountered in some playthrough of Pokemon before and Swablu isn't useful at Levle 25.  Mayby Clefairy too

      I definitely remember my first playthrough in V9-Intense, but at least then I could use the Fletchinder that I was already using and pure power Meditite which we could overlevel back then to learn Hi-Jump KIck.  I somewhat think I may have used a Xatu last time, but I can't find it on my save.   At least I know I had the idea.

       

      Intense of course.

      N.B. Only way to go past the level cap is through Rare Candies

    4. seki108

      seki108

      Yeah, an NPC even mentions in near the start of the game

  12. I'm not sure which I hate more right now: Gloom or Ancient Power which seems to have a 50% stat boost rate if a certain enemy uses it

  13. I just fought Zetta for the first time in V11.  Did they change his theme after V9?  I thought it used to be a remix of Guzma's theme.

    1. SilverAngelus

      SilverAngelus

      Yup, the team skull music was from v9 and they changed it afterwards~

      Not gonna lie, I do miss it...

  14. I know I wanted to use Spoink in my new Rejuvenation run but I don't know if it was worth torturing myself with 2 or more hours of Voltorb Flip. 

     

    Who designed the leveling mechanic of that game?  It randomly boots you down all the way to Level 1 even if you reached level 5.  It seems this is basically the same behavior as canon, so it's not an essentials quirk.

      Once you get to level 4, the luck factor definitely starts taking hold since the math won't eliminate everything and guessing a, b, or c takes over.  I would appreciate the 'juiciness' much more if it didn't boot me all the way back to the start most times and make getting any decent amount of coins an absolute painful grind.  

    3. SilverAngelus

      SilverAngelus

      Most times? I get booted back to the previous level, usually. There have been cases where I was level 6 and I got dropped to level 2...

    4. seki108

      seki108

      At least whenever it goes to Level 4 or 5, and I don't fulfill the condition of staying at the same level (getting enough 2/3's until it equals or exceeds the Level count).......though if you fail enough times it still kicks you down even if you get enough numbers.   On stages 2 and 3, it's generous, but past that is usually no. 

       

      From the comments I read on videos when I learned how to even play the game, it seems the canon games are a bit arbitrary on how far it kicks you down.

  15. After a good deal of humming-and-hawing, I decided to start a new run of Rejuvenation.  I never even started V11 after downloading it and all three patches, but I might as well start again with this version (since I doubt V12 will change much early game stuff).   

     

    Maybe the story and character names will actually stick this time.

    1. SilverAngelus

      SilverAngelus

      Have fun Senpai~

  16. Finally went and transered all the Pokemon from various Reborn saves into my main file to do the Pokedex quest.  Still had some to find in the wild, but I'm glad that's through with.

     

     

    ........now to see if I have to motivation to get the missing TMs, Stones/Crystals, and Memories I don't have.  And the Mystic Square torture Puzzle I've heard so much about for the last sticker.

    1. RedAlert

      Cheers, fellow completionist! And thanks for helping me out with one of the entries, big help 😄

      I think I have two megastones left as well to grab somewhere in that monstrosity of a desert...

       

      The magic square puzzle is honestly not too difficult. It involves a little amount of effort and time, but nowhere as difficult as some of the other ones...

    2. Starry Knight

      Starry Knight

      That would be about right, honestly not too bad in long runI did it a couple times on my own and it wasn't too bad

    3. The Shady Dealer

      The Shady Dealer

      That Mystic Square Puzzle was actually the only time I hated something in reborn. Even The Sewers Puzzle wasn't so damn frustrating.

  17. Perhaps I'm overlooking it in, but is there a PC-share mod for Rejuvenation?

      Is there still a download available for a V10 version?

      Assuming that V10's worked alright.....

  18. The first day of Summer, huh?  I miss the mildness of Spring already, although this Spring has been bordering on Summer weather for the past month or so.

     

    The usual Touhou "Passing of the Seasons" things I normally do for the past year or so:

     

    Goodbye, Lily White and see you next Spring.  Technically no one to welcome either.

     

     

     

  19. After being so low on gems a while back, this feels good to look at

      I'm not sure about that, since a lot of the time it's: Turn on the game, hope autoduel doesn't act like a drunk toddler against the NPC duelist, and maybe do event stuff.  Most of my PVP stuff is in Gold, so only mid-way skilled if that, with some occasional progress in Platinum (even making Plat 4 once during the Sylvan infestation).

       

      Really the gems are more occasional grinding than high tier rewards or anything.   Plus, Konami is deceptively generous with gems around the World Championship time to make people forget how stingy they can be the rest of the year.

       

      Recently I've been using a halfway functioning Nephthys ritual deck, though it can really brick.  I spent a lot of gems on a six sam deck, though I usually only use it for end of the month pushes (or getting past the DLV 20s in the WCQ a week or so back).  Until Ancient Gears came, I was using U.A. but that field spell just have them free Reactor Dragon setup.

    3. The Shady Dealer

      The Shady Dealer

      😐...🤯! Too many info at once(😂), but I got you. You're using mostly meta decks, and you're really all about that grind😂. BTW, If I'm really trying I get to gold 3 and currently I'm basically running some decks I've created (an archfiend deck, and a plant related deck).

    4. seki108

      seki108

      That's where a lot of gems have gone in the past, though some of the EX structure decks that come out can equal or topple those with some creativity and outside support.  I never fully commit to buying enough of the SR and URs of an archetype, so the decks turn out to be half-assed more than effective......and sadly Nephytis without Yubel probably isn't too meta.

       

      Probably my favorite deck has been Aliens, which falls in and out of relevance but is still cheap in gems.  There have been some decks I were pretty fun though not currently meta (Aquactress, Toon DMG, Gladiators), and Aromage is the go-to FTP/non-grind deck.  Usually it's some skrewing around in PVP most of the month, then a rush at the end of the month to collect some rewards with a meta deck.

  20. Seems the "Fantasy Maiden Wars: Complete Box" will be coming out in Summer Comiket in August, likely before the English Patch of the 4th game is even completed. I already liked the new U.I. they showed off a few months back, but Sanbondo showed off a bit more in post today.  Instead of the face icons on a map like they've been doing, it seems they've switched to having the 3d-ish menu sprites also be the map icons, which is great.  Now Reisen will always have her finger gun ready.

     

    Not sure why I'm posting this here other than gushing again.

     

     

  21. How did I miss that Lyrica Live posted another song, what's more another duet?!  

     

    A bit strange for her to suddenly decide to do a stage theme, but it certain fits well.

     

     

  22. The final chapter of Wild and Horned Hermit is out!  Can ZUN write a satisfying ending?

  23. I'm surprised the Fantasy Maiden Wars fan-translation team is doing the bonus stage translations on the S.A. thread, since Clarste said they weren't particularly interesting or important enough for it.  It's not an inaccurate description, since it's basically just Stages 47-49 again........just without the roster gutted to Hell and back.  At least the setup is kind of interesting (if a bit self aware).

      Well, I found enough motivation to get to DLV 21 before it ended.
