Don't really have an update schedule
Just every few days
And it's been a few days so here we go
Spoiler
Ok so
Train station, on the train
Little cutscene where Venam freaks out about the fact that Melia is being hunted by Xen and insists we should do something about it
Ren tries to rein her in, but Venam still insists that they need to take Xen head on
Train arrives and Venam sprints ahead
BUT FIRST
In the park, you used to be able to get a Budew at certain times of the day. However, now, it appears to be Gossifleur. Normally, I wouldn’t bother showing this, as I told the others in chat I thought Eldegoss was really bad.
It turns out, however, Eldegoss carried me so hard through a huge chunk of the game.So just keep this in mind. I’ll explain a bit later during the gym battles...
We run into some person wearing a cloak on the way to Amethyst Cave
And then we see them again as we enter
They explain that Melia ran deep into the mines due to fear of being chased by Xen, who we meet on the way down.
Turns out Melia’s being chased by an Admin so we better hurry.
Ren also notes that there are a lot of Joltik are around despite not being native to the cave
We get to the bottom of the mines and find Zetta again
He’s standing in front of a rift and tells the tale
He found a broken bridge and at the bottom, among the wreckage, Melia’s bloodied bag being chewed on by a Galvantula
Venam and Ren deal with their grief while Zetta deals with the fact that he doesn’t have the greatest field report to make and tries to take us out to compensate and we all get sucked into the new Rift he’s made.
Inside the rift Venam continues processing her friend’s death while Ren asks her to try and focus on the friends she still has and loops us in that group
Not sure why because we’ve only known each other for a few hours, but I get his point.
That fails so he gets Venam motivated with revenge on Zetta
Though we still need to get out of this rift
We inform Venam and Ren what happened the last time we got vored by one of these things and Ren seems a bit upset at having to destroy a Galvantula that got forced into a rift by Zetta
Venam meanwhile has no such concerns
Stroll on up and suddenly we’re in Lovecraft territory
It hatches and we’re met with the Rift Galvantula
Electric/Poison with Parental Bond
Also a bunch of Joltik
Chose Venam as my buddy for this fight
Downfall my Fletchinder took out the Joltik and then I mostly used priority moves to take out the Rift’s shields
Galvantula defeated, we return to reality and Zetta has peaced out
And then Crescent yeets him back into frame
She lectures everyone then vanishes Zetta
A bit more explanation about how we shouldn’t even have tried to save Melia since she was gone before we arrived and tells us to just stay in Gearen
Which we do
Apparently we’ve been sulking in Venam’s room for a few days
This will be a bit of a trend
A personal note: I really wish the game didn’t tell me I was this depressed about Melia. Instead, I wish it made me care more about her first. Yes, this is a subjective and petty comment, but I knew her for less than a week, and I’m apparently more sad about her dying than my own mom being lost? Keep this in mind: you stop looking for your own mom because you’re apparently supposed to be sad about a girl you barely know.
Several more days later and we are brooding on a pier
Ren approaches us, gives us a pep talk, and tells us that he’s heading home and we should leave Gearen too
Xen has done a lot of really terrible things to us so we shouldn’t just sit there in misery
He advises us to go to Sheridan Village for the second gym and so we shall
Still in this update so here we go
Gotta go back through Amethyst Cave to get there
You run into the cloaked person again who goes “I warned you, now all of you know the pain of losing someone”
Which I still don’t get
What’s the alternative?
We just never learn what happened to Melia?
Seriously, what do these people keep tutting at us for?
And next you meet
Nim
Who is quite magical
As in she has access to an entire different plane of existence that she’s more adapted to than this world
Her just being ghosty in Venam’s gym took a lot out of her
And now you fight her
Another reason to use Seviper early game: despite being weak to psychic, its stats make it pretty strong and fast for this part of the game.
Fight her and win and she just chills with you for a bit
And she gives you a key card from Melia’s bag
So quick run back to Gearen and into Jenner’s area and you get an EXP Share
Just the regular kind
Also some nice little things
Like notes Melia and Jenner wrote to each other and movie posters Venam got for her
Just nice details to cement just how close Melia was to the people in her life
Back through the cave and finally we’re at the village
We meet a young girl with purple hair talking to a woman named Eldest
They talk about how the village’s leader, the Sensei, hasn’t really been active in the community much then the purple haired girl leaves
Then Eldest notices us and whispers rather loudly to herself that things are about to escalate
Quick note
Right now it costs money to heal at the Inn
And my friends took this...
Not well
Heading north to the Sensei’s house you meet the purple haired girl again who introduces herself as
NarutoAelitaShe lets us know that we can try challenging the Sensei for his badge, but probably won’t get anywhere
And we don’t, we knock and then go back to the Inn and meet up with
Naruto (just like with Ren, you’ll see)Aelita againEldest somehow knows our name and doesn’t provide the best cover for knowing it
We learn that Keta, the Sensei, has been a bit off for the past year and has just been in his house the whole time
Aelita has a feeling that with us she can finally get through to him, but Eldest requests you wait until the next day
And now the Inn will heal you for free
Quick sleep, then we head back to Keta’s place with Aelita
We’re let in and Keta has gone full nihilist
He doesn’t believe that there’s any point to remaining in the village and thinks its for the best that everyone leave
Aelita has complaints
Then Keta has a flashback and asks to talk to us alone
We follow him into a little garden area and find him talking to the grave of someone named Taelia
Then he pulls up his hood and turns out he’s the cloaked figure we kept running into at Amethyst Cave
He tells us to go to the start of Amethyst cave and retrieve something called a “Soul Stone” and to do it alone
And we’ll cover that next time
Bye!

Moving along
SpoilerLet’s see....
Alright now we’re heading to Goldenwood Forest with Melia
...but before THAT.
I briefly changed my team up at this point. Now, I have a Seviper on my squad. For this point in the game, it has great stats. Definitely something to consider for the first two gyms at least.
We run into Tesla at the train station and she pays our ticket for us then heads out
Now to Goldenwood
We meet with Melia and have a fun montage with her as we go along the route and have cute adventures
Then we get to the cave and now Melia’s your partner as you go along
You may note that her Pokemon are all shinies
Remember that
At the end of the cave is a wall with some ancient text
Melia takes a few photos of it, then one of us
She walks up to the wall and suddenly the cave shakes and the wall crumbles
Completely unfazed by the havoc she’s wrought Melia instead delights in the new passage that was uncovered and goes on ahead of us
However, something else you can do instead of following her is head left. If you do, you’ll see a woman standing there and challenging you to a fight with her Leavanny. Usually, that thing hits incredibly hard. However, thanks to Seviper, I managed to tank her hits and get the KO.
Once you win, you get a Sewaddle yourself!Once outside there’s a heal spot and it turns out Melia has set up a picnic for us!
Also there’s a statue of Arceus watching over us
Curious
Melia talks about the great day she’s had with us and thanks us for a wonderful time.
Then she goes on to discuss her worries.
Melia has been chosen to be the Normal type gym leader in Grand Dream City and she’s nervous about leaving to a place she hasn’t been, away from everyone she knows and loves.
But she has hope.
So she asks for a battle, to get an idea of what she will have to face in the future.
You win and she admits she didn’t think it would go like that, but is in high spirits still.
Then a blue filter appears over the screen
And things are suddenly less fine
Run out to the front entrance of the cave and you are met with people in black and red uniforms calling themselves Team Xen.
Apparently they’ve been around for a bit but weren’t usually taken seriously, but Melia seems plenty worried about them.
And she should be because they’re there for her.
Then a grunt sends out a Shadow Meowth.
Somehow Team Xen has been able to recreate them and Melia tells you to put a certain combination into her briefcase’s lock
And inside Is a Snatching Machine, a device that lets you capture Shadow Pokemon from trainers
So catch the grunt’s mon and that’s that
Head south and you’ll run into several more Xen grunts with more Shadow mons you can get
You get them now or never, but you’re given 10 balls with the machine, so you stand a good chance
At the end of it all are a couple more grunts, Eli and Shanon who fight you and then...
You remember that shiny Garbodor from the sewers?
Yeah it’s back
Eli and Shanon run after it leaving you with the Xen Admin running all of this
Zetta
We fight him and you can get his Shadow Snover
I’ll miss you Alolan GrimerBit of bantering and then he shows off his party trick
Spawning this thing
Then Zetta has it eat you
Just swallows you whole and you find yourself in some weird alternate world
Run up and you see a Magikarp jump up a waterfall then start to glow
It falls back down and emerges as a Rift Gyarados
Rift battles are similar to raids in SwSh
The enemy has a massive health bar with a couple barriers you need to break first
In my case it was just using Fletchinder using Peck a couple times then Further Beyond stepped in and a couple Razor Leaks later it was done
I, however, did a different strategy.
In Rejuv, if you go to the casino, you’ll find these items called “Golden Items”. These act as replacement for HMs, and while HM moves themselves are still in the game, they are a huge time saver. You buy these items through AP, which is earned by completing challenges. I, myself, farmed on wild Pokemon, using over 800 (I think) moves to get enough AP to buy the Rock Smash Golden Item. Once I did, instead of going into the train station, I headed left, used Rock Smash (which I got early from the HM item) and got myself a Blitzle.
However, it turns out Rift Gyarados is not Water/Flying, but instead Water/Ghost. As such, my Voltorb had to attempt to paralyze with Spark. Once it did, Blitzle could get off as much damage as she could with Shock Wave before going down to Gyarados’s attack (trust me, that thing hits hard). Seviper then did additional damage before going down, ending off with Drizzile getting in some final damage.God, I hate Drizzile’s design. Still, it at least came in clutch this time.
Still wish I had that Sobble design back though.
While I’m gonna let some personal biases slip through here, I should mention that before you fight the rift a projection of Melia appears and says that she’s helping
But if she did, then we see no evidence to support that claim
Back to objective stuff
Zetta just goes “welp” and then peaces out
Melia and we rush back to Gearen to tell Jenner of Team Xen embracing the power of demons and find that he’s a bit busy talking to someone
That someone being Madelis
Another Team Xen admin
Who we saw talking with him earlier when we first entered his lab
Anyway turns out Jenner was just meant to keep Melia safe until Xen needed her but turns out raising a child results in getting attached to them, and Jenner might’ve done a treason
Melia doesn’t exactly take the sudden news that she’s adopted very well and ends up fighting Madelis
Madelis uses her Houndoom while Melia has.. A Togepi
My strat was using Yawn because Madelis always goes for Nasty Plot first
Then once asleep, spam Metronome and hope you get something good
In my case I got Power Swap and ended up taking Houndoom’s Nasty Plot boosts for myself and then just Ancient Powered to victory.
Madelis lost, but points out that she still has the rest of her team to use while Melia’s mons are all weak
So Melia uses her last resort
Have her Togepi use Metronome and Teleport the two of them away
Not entirely certain how that worked, but it gets things moving
Madelis radioes to other Xen grunts patrolling the city to keep an eye out for Melia and leaves
After she does, Ren runs in and tries to figure out what’s happening
Jenner pleads with us to help Melia
Then Crescent
Crescent speaks from somewhere unseen and chides Jenner for doing very little himself to save Melia despite knowing exactly what was going to happen
Then she opens a portal and sends him away
A bit more concerned with the evil team running about, we’re approached by Karrina, a local gang leader, and thinks a Xen admin may be hiding out in a building with a lot of very concerning noises coming from it
Run over there and turns out it’s the society man we saw earlier and Venam is there too for reasons
Also a green haired person, presumably the same girl from before, teleports away as we walk in
He’s got a Musharna hooked up to a strange device and we’re given the option to side with Venam or Ren
And given this boss is a Psychic type... I went with Ren
Anyway turns out that society man isn’t with Xen and was actually helping the Musharna
Red herring having been dealt with, Ren and Venam run off to the other train station while Karrina mentions something about giving people enough time
And now we run off to join Venam and Ren and see what that’s about next time

Alright time for the second update
but first replies

I am in the discord and have been thinking of submitting something but still undecided
Will think about it tho

Chapter0~15 - Things get bad, sometimes get better and then GET WORST!
Thanks, I will be accepting my payment via PayPalNot entirely inaccurate
Update now
Really wish I could name spoilers
SpoilerOk so next up is Venam’s gym
The puzzles are fairly simple, mix poisons to get certain colors and then proceed
The gym trainers will give you the answers and the color combinations are on a chart at the front of the gym as well as a PC and heal spot
Make it to the end and Venam greets you
Also there’s a ghost girl
Think her inclusion here is new
Melia and Ren walk in to cheer you are and the fight begins
And if you just so happen to pick a Grass starter, then get ready for half your health to vanish!
Note, I am playing on Casual
So gym leaders have 4 mons at lower levels and that’s what I’m gonna be talking about
I, meanwhile, played using normal mode. In this mode, all gym leaders have six Pokemon and around the level cap. I won, using this team:
Truth be told, I won that fight by complete accident. I just wanted to see what was on it, hence the Metapod instead of Butterfree. However, I find that the battle itself isn’t hard as long as you have something that can take a hit or cripple. Voltorb was that Pokemon for me. It had Static for any physical attackers, as well as Spark for a good chance to land paralysis. My Bibarel (which was shiny) would then come in and clean up. Bibarel has both Moody and STAB Headbutt here, making it a fantastic choice for gym 1… except the Ivysaur. But I thankfully had Trubbish and Fletchling for that.
Good Pokemon to catch for this gym are Psyduck (found in Gearen Garden) and Butterfree (found as a Caterpie in the grass all over Gearen, as long as its daytime). Especially Butterfree. You can also find a Psychic Gem in her gym (in a secret room--there’s a different combination you can use for the third room of her gym). Equip that on your psychic-user of choice. Additionally, while it might be tempting, I wouldn’t bother getting Pecha Berries; it’s not worth the held item slot that can be filled by Oran Berries instead. The stacking damage of the Corrosion Field is much more taxing on your team than the off-chance that you actually get poisoned. I’d say the biggest problem on her team is the Mareanie--make sure that you kill it sometime early in the battle. You’re not going to win a last Pokemon vs. last Pokemon fight against it.
Fun thing about this field, your mon is considered poisoned no matter what
So my main obstacle was Venam’s Mareanie which has Venoshock, so not only is that move doing double damage but it always crits because of Merciless.
Or rather that was the case, but it got patched.
I recommend doing a sidequest at the docks that nets you a Buizle with Sonic Boom
Fixed damage is life
This was my team after the fact
I would recommend properly leveling up, even though there isn’t really a good place to do that yet
Sewers are your best bet really
And with Venam down we get her badge and a custom TM Poison Sweep
50 power and can lower speed, so it’s not bad for now
And now
SIDEQUESTS
Rejuv has a very good sidequest system
It just has a Help Center that you can go to and find quests
It’s a good idea to do them all before leaving the area proper
And in Gearen you have seven
Of varying difficulty and complexity so let’s go through them now
Save Starly!
Alright first sidequest
Just go save a Starly right
....Right?
Well first thing is to go to Gearen Labs and talk to the Starly’s owner, next to the Nurse Joy
There’ll be another NPC there who will be ready to give you a fun gift if you’ve beaten Venam
The Starly’s owner will send you to the docks to stop the thieves
So you go down and find some bikers and beat them up
And then you meet someone you’ll be seeing a lot of during these sidequests
A woman with magic powers named Karen
And Karen’s arc revolves around wanting to speak to the manager.Which makes me think of the Johto E4 member first so that’s slightly confusing for me
And by “magic powers” I mean she flies in, summons spikes of rocks that jut out of the water and pierce the boat the thieves were going to take and then sends the thieves flying out over the ocean
She calls you “little dove” and peaces out
Go back to the owner and mission done
Missing Mother
This one is a bit long but simple
Mostly
Would recommend holding off on this until after beating Venam
First go to the salon, it has a Lilligant on the front so not too hard to spot
You meet the salon owner’s daughter and she informs you that her mother was meant to be back by now so you need to find her
This bit is a tad repetitive as first you go to the Aqua Apartments and get told that the mother went to the Velvet Apartments
But first you need to go back to the salon and tell the daughter that
Then you go to the Velvet Apartments, learn the mom had then left to the Emerald Apartments
But first you need to go back to the salon and tell the daughter that
Then you go to the Emerald Apartments, learn the mom had then left to the docks
But first you need to go back to the salon and tell the daughter that
This time you’ve actually got something and the daughter goes to the docks
You go and find a boat from Grand Dream City, which is the largest and most powerful city in the whole region
Walk inside a previously closed off building and you find the mother giving haircuts to the homeless and poor of the city
Apparently the mayor of GDC is a bit touchy about stuff like this so it needs to be kept secret
And then a couple mean girls walk in demanding free haircuts
They’re told no and threaten to wreck the place so you step in to stop them
The mean girls just have one mon
A level 17 Lopunny
(Level 18 on Normal, Level… 20 on Intense? I dunno what the scaling is for that.)
Side note, and this is going to be a theme. This game has more characters than the Sonic franchise. Did you notice they tried to give that NPC a personality for one (at this point) scene? Just keep that in mind.
Reminder that your level cap before fighting Venam is 15
Defeat it and the mean girls go away
The mother and daughter have a bonding moment and you remember your mother telling you how much she loves you and wants you to be happy
Mission done
The Hidden Library
One of the easier ones
Go to the Lab and immediately turn left, guy with the backpack will tell you about a hidden library that he wants you to ask around about
He gives you three people, you go talk to him, and then return to take a multiple choice quiz
Answer all three questions right and that’s job done
Love Letter!
Also really simple
Go to the building you walk through to get to the docks and go upstairs
You run into a guy who asks you to give a love letter to a guy named Cameron, and you notice he was looking for a Burn Heal
Buy one, give Cameron the note and Burn Heal then return to the quest giver
Tell him the good news and that’s all
Dangerous Pokemon!
Recommend waiting until after Venam for this
So go down to the docks and you’ll find a pack of Litleo
And then
Yeah
You fight two Litleo and a level 20 Pyroar
Buizle again is a massive help here
Beat the pack and one of the Litleo joins you
Battle Request!
Highly recommend to wait until you got your team to level 20 for this at least on Casual
Seriously this is pretty tough
Go to the Hotel’s roof and you’ll meet Noeva who is training to be a part of this group of powerful trainers
You’ll occasionally run into them, they all have white hair and a hairband-thing like Noeva does
As said, Noeva is pretty tough but beat her and one of the rewards is a Pichu which is neat
Wretched Music
This one can only be done at night
Also probably best to wait until around the same time as the last mission
Go to the hotel and talk to the desk clerk
He’ll let you into the basement where you run into...
Him
Meet Rorim B
Really enthusiastic dancer and possible E8 member but that’s just my guesswork
He’s someone who has gotten one of Zumi’s arts that pop up in game so I have suspicions
Fight him and he informs you that he’ll leave if you find two people willing to be part of his dancing team
Run around on the ground floor and you’ll find both NPCs on that level
Once you find them go back down and Rorim will give them Magical Girl transformations and then boogies out
And that is all of the Help Center missions for East Gearen
Next time is the start of Melia’s plotline so get ready for that

'Ello
I am Uberle
For thousands of years I lay dormant here but arise once again because Rejuv has added Gen 8 and has changed a lot of old stuff I'd like to see
Also joining me are a couple friends, Filthy and Riddle, in blue and pink respectively who'll pop in occasionally
This is as the title says a run of Rejuv V13 where I do my best to summarize the game's plot as I go through it
Because this is a long game and people may not want to play through it all again to see what's new
With that out of the way let us dive into the first update of this adventure
SpoilerWe don’t start as ourselves but as a little girl named Maria who is being read the worst bedtime story ever.
It’s about a Zorua who decides to prank his Pangoro friend by creating an illusion of the Pangoro’s dead mother.
Happy times.
Now it’s morning and a quick run downstairs her mom tells her to get her dad.
Maria does that, then goes upstairs to get ready for dinner
Then a blue filter covers the screen and Maria tries to find her parents
She meets a woman clad in armor who tells her to never give up hope
Which is.... Well I’ll explain more when we meet Armor Lady again
She goes into the basement and finds her dad standing over her presumably dead mother who lays on a sacrificial altar
Then fade to black and she wakes up as Marianette in a castle and is informed by a Maid that her father requests her presence. Down some halls and Maria finds her dad now dressed in full cultist robes as he sacrifices a Maid
Maria asks her dad where her mother is and her dad informs her that “She’s with the lord” and Maria will be joining her shortly
Maria is forced onto the sacrifice altar and shouts her protests
Screen cuts to black and we hear the same noise as when the Maid got sacrificed
What’s with these fan games and putting blonde girls in maid outfits on magic altars?
OK now we play as ourselves
Choose player avatar, gender, name, all that
We meet our mother, Nancy, and go to say hi to the ship’s captain who is apparently related to Briney from the Hoenn games
We go to our ship cabin and apparently we have very thin walls and listen to a conversation between our mother and a goth chick named Crescent who has a Gothitelle
You are going to learn to hate her
Anyway the conversation tells us that Nancy was apparently tasked to keep us happy and possibly shouldn’t be capable of feeling emotions
Hope you don’t mind putting that plot thread on hold for a while
Next we go to the banquet and meet Pianolady Pianolady, one of the best characters in the game
RIP in peace to that one NPC who was staring right at her chest the entire time
And then tentacles attack
Crescent’s Gothitelle teleports us to the captain’s cabin and we gotta get back to her while trying to navigate the increasingly on fire boat
A bunch of Deoxys pop up, one just f*cking annihilates a guy in front of our eyes and we eventually get to Nancy who is.... Fighting a ninja I think
Woman with sunglasses and purple hair just keeps vanishing and reappearing and reveals that the attack was to get Nancy
Again, don’t get too interested in this plot thread we have a bit of waiting to do
We’re chased outside the boat and Ninja lady and a dark-skinned man corner us
Then we get swooped up by a Talonflame
Gearen City
Dropped off on a pier we meet the Talonflame’s owner: Tesla of the Elite 8
Yes
8
She makes sure we’re alright then flies back out to sea to see what’s going on
And now we can finally get our starter mon
Run right up and into Gearen Lab we meet Amanda who lets us into the back
Also you’ll see a green-haired girl be approached and then follow a man who is prime society
Thank you Riddle
As we walk into the back we run into a blonde girl
You are gonna have very mixed feelings on her
In the back we meet Prof Jenner and see he’s talking to a woman with red hair who he immediately hangs up on
I’m sure that won’t be important soon
And now you can get your starter
Either pick one of the 24 available or just go to the machine for a random one
F in chat for the really rare starters like Axew
I picked Grookey and named it “Further Beyond” because Rillaboom has the SSJ3 hair
Though character limits meant it had to be FrtherBeyond
And now I shall break this game dependent on fields with Grassy Surge
So the way we chose our starters was simple. Each of us decided we would split the gen 8 starters for appropriate theming. Uberle picked first and went Grookey. Riddle picked second and took Scorbunny. And I got…
...Inteleon.I love Sobble’s design, but god Inteleon is gross. He’s an uglier version of Randall from Monster’s Inc… and because of that, I named my Sobble Randall.
(don’t worry he will come around and love Inteleon eventually)
Don’t ask him about Meganium
Pokedex, Nav, and balls obtained you’re now a proper trainer
And you go down to the pier and catch a Fletchling with Wide Guard
There’s a reason for this, trust me
Now you’re free to wander Gearen on your own, except for one bit because a guy has a level 13 Torchic with Speed Boost and you’re not beating that right now
Heading east you find a house that’s playing the theme from Roxie’s Gym
And you watch a girl fly through the roof and splat down on the stone in front of you
Claiming she’s dying the girl asks for a berry but when you go to buy one the shopkeeper instead gives you…. Something else
You give the berry to the girl who turns out was not dying and learn that the berry was laced with wasabi
Laughing the prank off, the girl introduces herself as Venam, the gym leader for this area and tells you to join her friends at the sewers
Not the greatest first impression, pranking you and all, but she gets comeuppance and acknowledges that she deserved it so not that bad
And then at the sewers entrance she’s doing the same trick to a guy named
Sasuke (give it time)RenYou get a lovely drawing made by Zumi, one of the game devs, and see him happily introduce himself
This is the literal only time he will feel or display any sense of joy in this entire game
SasukeRen is a companion in the sewers so if you run into a shiny, pray to the coding gods that he doesn’t attack itRIP my shiny Rattata...
And my shiny Poochyena…Laughs in shiny A-Rattata
He also heals your mons so this is a nice place to level up a bit
You finally track down Venam do a puzzle then meet up with the blonde girl from before
Melia
Who is trying to figure out what’s going on with the generators down here
And we find out exactly what
Apparently Melia and Venam placed some trash bags down in the sewers to see if they turned into Trubbish and they were right
One even became a shiny Garbodor
You fight the Trash Gang and Venam nabs herself a Trubbish
And with that Venam says she’ll be waiting for you at her gym
Melia wishes you luck and that’ll be the end of things for now
Bye

Rock of Truth
SpoilerAlright
Let's see what's going on here.
Gym leaders have shifts?
Since when?
Where are the hours posted?
Clearly the Darkrai cult is the only one with intelligent grunts
......
How'd he get it up here in the first place?
Is it not normally there?
Expel him?
That looks like a pretty solid illusion if so.
.......
Uh
.......
What?
Where'd you people come from?
Did Kyurem really carry all three of you?
How do you freeze those things?
(X)
Why'd you turn this way?
You being dramatic?
Disclaimer: I skipped some screenshots of Taen teasing Orion about the rock and that's why Orion moved.
Let's see
White rock
Kyruem
WHAT COULD IT POSSIBLY BE?
....... I think he just Force Pushed Orion.
Noise that occurs but as this is a screenshot you don't hear it
Reshiram
But I remember the Light Stone being a lot smaller
Blah, blah, blah he's here to rejoin them
Then Reshiram flys away just barely off screen, Taen is fooled into thinking it fled, goes away with Kyurem and then Reshiram somehow returns without being seen.
And Nora proves how useful she is in giving us a Ride Pokemon
Wee
Originality ho!
This guy exists
Might do the trade if I get a Steel type I don't care for
We were together ten minutes ago.
But ok, what?
.......Yeah, sure fine
That thing's Water/Electric
Soooo
Razor Leaf
Also Toxic Spikes
Razor Shell didn't kill, but close enough
Iron Head!
Or miss and get Roared out
Ok then
Iron Head
Woo!
.........
>He seemed trustworthy
>Don't trust him not to blab
.........
He will get kidnapped
He will get kidnapped and it will be your fault.
LIKE WHAT!?
Rotom encounter
OK
So to get out of this town, you need to Surf south
Little annoying to figure out though
Grotto!
Lil' Squirtle
What have you become now?
YES
YES
YEEEEEESSSSS
In case you couldn't tell I really like Hydriegon
Route 4 encounter
Like how Vespiquen only has one "e" in "quen"
.......
I really hope I get a Delta Ralts at some point
I already love Ralts as is
But Delta Gardevoir carried me through my first playthrough of this
hm
.....
Crit something
Well I think that's enough for tonight
Next time will be the gym and...
Another thing
You'll see then
Until next time
Bye
-
So here are my gym leader ones
Difficulty
Mostly based on my memory of my first run
Personal opinion
And the one with all the characters
-
1
-
-
For Reborn to have a new experience when replaying you could do things like restrict the mons you can use to ones from a specific Gen
Or use mons you’ve never used before
Or do a mono-type run
just some ideas there for you
-
1
-
-
Well
Post game bars are up
.....
There are so many post game features here that I can't wait for
Nightclub is gonna be so much fun
Wonder how many hours I'll spend in there
-
I like being able to update somewhat consistently
Grinding takes a while, but at least it's just commenting on screenshots when updating
Replies
Spoiler@Angelkitsune Yeah, but fodder is necessary in this game given the legends.
Goggles is there mostly because Mega Flygon is amazing.
He's more the butt of every joke.
Who's the best one?
@ProjectIceman Foresight
One of the early game moves that is only useful in early game
Update 3
Ruinous Encounter
Spoiler
Well let's start things off with an encounter, shall we?
Adamant Stoutland?
Yes please.
On the team you go.
That looks concerning
How's grass growing in here?
Aaand boxed.
Huh
Interesting TM but ok.
Why do you have to corner it?
Just throw a Pokeball at it.
Why did you only show up now?
Where you just off screen waiting for a dramatic entrance?
Ok
There is never any reason to have that many 'a's in a row
Ever
Unless it's a scream or something
But as part of an actual word, no.
(X)
Hm
Nope
Take Down works
At least until friendship gets high enough
..... Wait no
Hm..
..........
Ok for whatever reason the Gallade spammed Quick Guard for some reason.
So that was easy
Grass/Poison
So....
Psybeam is fun
Not entirely wrong.
Altaria and Gallade are good
But the AI is crap.
I think you have other opposition.
Hold up
Wait
You heard rumors about this Lucario
But apparently the fact that it can MEGA EVOLVE wasn't part of them?
Then what were these rumors?
.......
I offer Nora as a sacrifice
Or not
I still don't get how these cults want to capture their GOD
When you worship something you don't think "let's put it in this little ball and have it do our bidding!"
This just makes them slightly more insane evil teams.
Blah blah blah, Kalos, blah blah blah, bond between trainer and Pokemon
Anyway moving on to Suntouched City
Encounter first.
Box
oooooo
He even has his little starfish on his overworld sprite.
I like it.
Now this city is interesting because
It has two layers
Though how they made this I have no idea
Now for something I personally enjoy
The Broadcast tower
Here you can do a bunch of missions that result in you getting rare Pokemon and a bunch of money
Eventually you get a shiny
It's fun
Let's get started
Wait, how did we get here?
Did we get air dropped?
KNEW IT!
........
Hm
And box
10 whole Pokeballs
Now this is a useful thing to know
Especially in randomized runs
In any town you can interact with a TV and eventually a Rotom spawns the same level as the highest in your party.
Except when you randomize the game the Rotom isn't a Rotom
It can be anything
So more encounters which is useful
I am now ready in case the Knights Who Say Ni show up.
That was Suntouched City
This is in Mida town
When I caught Shrubbery
.......
Sure
And the Broadcasting side quest continues
I don't know what triggers the calls, it just happens
They can come almost instantly, or after a really long time
Either way, encounter time
LIES!
Anyway should get ready for the gym now
Think I'll go with this team
One last encounter
Doubt it'll cause any changes though-
Peter, you've been replaced.
Ok, so before I go into the gym, quick team recap
Goggles has learned the Ancient Art of Throwing Rocks
He is now one of the strongest on the team.
Toxic Spikes will be fun
Iron Head this early is amazing.
Also more throwing rocks.
In front of each gym there's this thing that has statistics on the gym
It's a fun feature for sure.
Leading with Shrubberry
I'll be doing that a lot in these battles
Meet Orion and his friend, a rock
You're a Dark Souls fan?
For the record, I said nothing
Let's see
Pokemon that forms out of a white rock
Who ever could it be?
I like how there's a little arena thing for battles
It's a nice touch
Got two Toxic Spikes up, and Sludge did the job just fine.
Razor Shell is very good this early on
THROW ROCKS!
Though neutral, Crunch works.
Woo!
Not a bad TM
Hello unique overworld sprite, who're you?
Yeah
Woman in a hat.
Rather rude.
Cults
And I'll be right behind you
Once I heal
Which'll be next time
So until then, good night. -
5 minutes ago, Louis said:
Is E19 going to be released after the postgame stuff is completed? Or will that be a separate release? I'm getting too excited seeing 98% and dont want to be disappointed knowing I need to wait more!
E19 will be released with post game
It’s just that postgame content wouldn’t be started on until the story part of E19 was done so it has its own scoreboard that should be up in a week or so I’m guessing
-
This....
This ended up being a lot more popular than I expected
Thanks everyone who checked this random thing of mine out
Just for a reference in the game I'm a little past the second gym
As I already have a few updates already done, I'll probably update this every few days, but doing this a day later because all these comments have given me motivation
So replies
Spoiler@Candy "Funsies" would not be the word I'd choose to use, but I'm certainly gonna enjoy this.
@DreamblitzX Oh so that's how it works. Nuzlocke balls don't really interest me, so I'm good with regular randomization.
Eevee is randomized? Didn't know that, though I never tried it. Though it does make sense when I think about it
Yeah I checked, and sadly it's the regular kind. Probably would've gotten it if it was.
I mean there is a 1 to 1 feature in the randomizer. The thing I was just trying to get across was how the game randomized mons and how encounters weren't fixed in any way.
@Angelkitsune It's stupid, but I love it.
Ok, so in Insurgence if you tab out while playing, type something, and go back in sometimes a key gets stuck when you have to name something. This is also a thing for Reborn and most non-ROM hack fan games. 6bnfzfzf is what came up when it asked for the player name, and I just thought "It's stupid and I love it"
So far no regrets.
AWAKEN MY MASTERS
@Lspaceship Yeah, thus the "Resurgence" part of the run name. I've been meaning to do this and now have finally gotten around to doing so.
@ProjectIceman This game certainly loves its curveballs.
Oh, as you'll see, random trainers having legends are the least of my worries.
Update 2
Selection
SpoilerSo I first had this run on the Nuzlocke forums, so I chose my starter then.
I took a poll and Porygon 2 won
So that's who I'm going with
Ta da!
And then Not-Wally challenged me to a battle
.......
Hold on, lemme just
There we go
Well
Give me a couple updates.
........
Rare stone makes me think the Z-stone thing from Alola
But this game runs on Gen 6 mechanics, so that's not it.
........
Key Stone?
And as this is a nuzlocke, we skip over this
Oh right, we also have followers
Honestly what ultimately made me want to play this game
I absolutely LOVE followers
Should mention for anyone who wants to play this, that it's this guy who gives you your Pokeballs
Not the professor
This random store employee
And now the locke begins
.......
I'm not complaining
But I just want to say that I've had a Flygon in several runs.
And it's getting boring
I'll take it, but I'm probably gonna get rid of it should a better Ground type present itself.
Oh right
Should probably show stats
Oh cool.
I can see IVs
I don't personally care for them, but I like it when they're included.
(Red is raised, Blue is lowered)
Bye Bide
Wow
First Delta already
And it's of my favorite Sinnoh starter
Water Absorb is probably gonna prove very useful.
I kept running into wild mons
Many were Deltas
Give me a break.
Ok, they're facing away from us, how loud are these guys?
Also this seems to be the Magma and Aqua cults
These two, logically, should be mortal enemies not teaming up even if it is to kill the 2nd Augur.
(X)
Oddly topical.
Uncomfortably topical.
Yes yes, I heard
Let's fast forward, I have way too many screenshots.
...... Maybe a bit too far, but I think you can guess what I skipped.
I will never get tired of the "spinning around allows person to change disguises" thing
I love it too much
I apparently took this screenshot too early, but it should be obvious what they're saying.
Not-Wally, no.
.......
Fine
This world has superhero movies?
Is there an MCU, and if so what Pokemon does each of the Avengers have?
These are important questions that must be answered!
Yes
You mere grunts will be able to take on the strongest trainer in the region
I see no flaws.
......
This is a really bad way to do that, Not-Wally
......
Ok, as Damien is Not-Wally you guys are now Not-Aqua cult and Not-Magma cult
Switch
Learned some new tricks
Like a very useful STAB
Little too close, but good enough.
I doubt that, because his chant roughly translates to "bonds of death"
Soooo
(X)
And after that the 2nd Augur gives me and Not-Wally his blessing and we go out INTO THE NEW WORLD!
I summarized in one line what took a page of images for the game to say.
In case you're wondering
This is indeed the origin of that name.
Only Tackle and Charge so far
And boxed
It's insane the amount of stuff Insurgence has in it
Deltas, new Megas, Mega Deltas, followers, a speed up button
And now, grottos.
Note: Overworld doesn't match actual encounter
.........
Ok so apparently Windows' defenses are equal and I didn't notice the Attack buff and Tackle OHKO'd
No big loss
I would only have it for 2 reasons
1. Dupes/Species
2. The meme
There's a trainer school here I need to look at for some reason.
And now I must go into a cave and find a girl named Nora
New encounter then.
Don't mind if I do
Hm
Don't like friendship evos
But I'll take it
Sure I'll add you for now
An adorable little pea
I believe I found Nora.
.......
"We brought these ancient Pokemon back to life!
Now let's send them back!"
.....
I'm going to guess all of it.
Also you looked in this direction earlier
I was literally right next to the Kabutops, how did you not notice me before?
Oh right
I have the literal mother of all Pokemon with me
I think this should clear things up
Instead of, you know
Me talking
Because who wants that?
"Not many people know about it, but I do because I'm relevant to the plot!"
I think they're referred to as "Pixies"
Was he by chance giant and purple?
Had a tendency to talk about balance?
Just asking will all this talk about half of something vanishing.
Huh
I like this change
I've seen many stories with the prophecy of "the chosen one" applying to other characters besides the main character and the other character always assumes it's them and the MC is just a waste of time.
So I like Nora not assuming it's her, but training just in case.
Also I don't think I have enough badges for it to listen to me.
And let's skip to that
Grinded up.
Force Palm hurt a bit
Razor Shell
Nope
I see your Physical Defense rise and instead go with newly learned Thunder Shock
Bulldoze works
Wasn't expecting the Delta
Psychic/Fairy btw
A tiny bit too close
........
Hm
Yeah don't think Masquerade is up for this
.........
FU-
..........
Well honestly Masquerade was here as fodder anyway
Razor Shell
.......
Wait this was a mistake
Goggles dodged a Razor Leaf thankfully
THE SACRED ANCIENT ART OF THROWING ROCKS!
flinch
YES!
MORE ROCKS!
Thunder Shock para helped
Also Charge was actually useful for once.
And that's Nora beaten.So this was pointed out to me after I first posted this update on Nuzlocke forums, but for some reason none of these people had their mons randomized
Don't know what's up there
.......
I feel like Not-Wally being put down will be a common occurrence here
Yes
Can we get an F in chat for our boy Not-Wally?
You haven't really mastered subtlety, have you?
Ok, now the game's just being mean.
.......
Welp
That's all for now
Next time more encounters and maybe the gym
Until then, good night! -
..... I think this is the right place for this, as it's a fangame
Think J-Awsome_One has a few play throughs here, so let's go
Hello
I am UberleIn my attempt to stop lurking here I'm gonna share a run that I've been doing in Insurgence
Probably the first fan game I played
I've been meaning to finish up my run of this, but never got to it
And still haven't
This is a fresh start right from the beginning of the game
Because why not?Also quick disclaimer
I've played through to the absolute end of this game once, but played the older version to the end three times
One was a nuzlocke as well, so I know what I'm getting myself into here
Really should finish that
Anyway nuzlocke rules in case you don't know
-1st encounter in each area
-Faint=dead
-Nickname everything
-Dupes and species clause appliesAll set?
Let's begin
Note: This update is very long, but that's just me getting all the intro stuff out of the way.
Update 1
Abscond
Spoiler
Been a while, old friend
Let's relive this adventure
Well this opening is new
Cool to see that
Oh right
Forgot about this flashback
There are a lot in this game
Just so you know
Every time I watch this I try to figure out why he walks back and forth on the stage thing
Oddly distracting
Cults
These guys are more or less what you'd expect them to be once we get to them.
......
That's not that different from the normal evil teams
Magma and Aqua wanted to get rid of the sea and land, respectively.
Cyrus wanted to reset the entire universe
And Lysandre just wanted to kill everyone
These cults are basically the same as those guys, but are creepy worshipers.
(X)
(X)
(X)
I'm gonna ignore that title drop.
You guys sure you're not cultists?
And scene
Now onto the set up cutscene
Just randomized because I don't remember if the Nuzlocke thing on this registers species or not.
Also it just makes it easier.
Now I should mention how this game is randomized
It's universal
Which means every encounter is completely random
If you randomize a main series game, each Pokemon in an area is replaced with another
But for this that's not the case
Every time you get an encounter it's randomly chosen from all the Pokemon in the game
Which is all mons through gen 6 plus the deltas
Oh right
Deltas
You know how in TCG there were cards where the mons were different typings?
That's the case here.
Insurgence's main attraction is its extensive collection of Deltas
Some are better than others, but they're all quite interesting in their own right
Some even have Megas
Also there are unique Megas in this game
All the Johto starters have one plus a few other ones
But it'll be a while until we get to that
Oh voice in my head
'Ello
Would you mind explaining the Gengar in the back?
Yeah it's-
.......
Yes
I am 6bnfzfzf
Nice to meet you
Absolutely
I may regret this later, but for now I'm rolling with it.
Sprite is the middle guy with purple hair.
Hmm
That's concerning
AWAKEN
Pillar Men theme intensifies
Darkrai cultists
Neat
I don't think that's how Dream Eater works.
She looks important.
.........
Persephone?
Greek goddess of Spring?
As the leader of the DARKRAI cult?
It's whole thing is nightmares.
What's she got to do with this?
I know technically Persephone is also the queen of the underworld, but that's due to pomegranate seeds magic.
Doesn't fit.
Will there be chanting?
If not, you've all failed as cultists.
I'd rather you didn't
I'm rather fond of life, especially my own
Huh
Smart grunts
That's new
"Fun" is not a word I'd choose for that
And I use the word "fun" for a lot of things
.......
So am I gonna get any help?
My dreams are apparently being munched up by this Gengar like it's the Shadow Ball tm.
......
Mew
Random guy says he'll send "someone"
And he goes with the literal mother of all Pokemon?
.........
Sure
Why not?
Wait, why did Gengar open the door?
It's a ghost.
I like this feature where you can see exactly what the item is
It's useful
Also reminds me of the multiple times I've waded through many patches of grass only to find another ice heal
Well that's just a nice little bundle of plot armor right there.
........
.......
How did Mew get the outfit from the DNA?
Don't mind the legendary behind me
Just another grunt
Yeah, I don't know what you were expecting when you joined a cult, honestly.
I just want to point out that this literally translates to "I call power shades and"
Really?
Since when has that been Darkrai lore?
And yet we're seeing it now.
Imma guess because she's not crazy and sacrificing people in its name.
Rejected by your own god.
That must sting
I feel like all gods have two positions on being worshiped
Either they absolutely love it or they'd rather you do literally anything else.
Darkrai seems to be the later.
HR might be getting some complaints about this.
They gon die.
Ok, if you have to force your own god to stay with you, you might want to reconsider your life choices.
F
And that is my cue to leave.
Where do you hide this stuff?
You saw nothing.
YOU SAW NOTHING!
NOTHING
Who're you anyway?
You seem like Wally, but with silver hair.
You're awfully trusting of me.
.......
Oh my god he is Wally with silver hair.
I'm calling you Not-Wally
Nope
Still not regretting this name
How you people say it with a straight face, I don't know.
Ya done eff'd up Not-Wally
.........
Such overwhelming faith
Truly compelling
..............
Uh.....
Well that came out of nowhere
And now I'm just gonna skip ahead to the lab
Hey, it's Giovanni
How does she not see us enter?
I don't think Not-Wally is exactly stealthy
Case in point
Sensing a "but" here
That doesn't really sound like something you just throw out to two random children you don't know.
Ye
Become cultured, Not-Wally
Except not anymore because it's random.
I've used Eevee already
I'd rather use one of the random starters.
And those are my options.
Fire gorilla who skips leg day
The True Lord and Savior
And Windows 10
Also leaving it off here for today. Thanks for checking this out. Future updates won't be as long. So until next time. Good night. -
crashes back in after speed reading a few updates
I need to stop getting backlogged with this
I like how Candy appears and that's what Vanilla is more confused with, and not the Rayquaza casually hovering there
Back with Titania.... yay

Too Long; Didn't Play- A Rejuv V13 playthrough (Update 5: Mewtwo fain- wait nevermind)
in Discussions
Posted
Oh right time for update
So to the grotto and descend a rather tall ladder
At the base we find several stone slabs placed around the area and hear someone call to us
Walk up to the center platform and we meet...
A worse sensei than Texen Raider
Keta
Or a piece of him
Something happened that made him literally cut out his own emotions and that’s who stands before us
Spirit Keta gives us the Soul Stone and asks us to help Keta and vanishes
Keta is waiting right outside and he’s actually surprised we got the Soul Stone and decides to test something
He heads down to where Melia died and finds that that Soul Stone has no reaction, so maybe something’s up
His experiment over, he tells us to meet him back in the village
There we run into Aelita again and Keta says he’ll fight us so Aelita runs off to get a crowd
And now the gym battle begins
It’s a double battle so be ready for that
Advice is to focus on one side and just keep hitting away at it
Also be aware that a fair number of his mons have Protect
In case you were thinking of using Lunatone or Solrock here, there’s a move that Keta’s mons have that becomes a Grass move and it’s gonna oneshot them both
And most importantly
That Lucario has Extreme Speed and it will wreck your day so be ready to deal with it
For me, it was a bit easier. Remember that Gossifleur I mentioned? I ended up evolving her into an Eldegoss. For this part of the game, Eldegoss has decent enough bulk. Plus, with the Effect Spore ability, it helped cripple a lot of Keta’s mons. This, in turn, set up my next team member to sweep:
Xatu.
Xatu, particularly in early game, is fantastic. With Ominous Wind and Stored Power, if you can get it rolling, it’s an unstoppable god of destruction. Add Air Slash onto it, and if it gets a couple boosts, the game is effectively over.
Defeated, Keta laments that he’s failed everyone but is surprised to hear the village praising him for such a spectacular battle and Aelita reminds him that everyone there is ready to help him.
Keta has a flashback of someone else telling him something similar and realizes how much of a fool he was. Telling Aelita to not follow him, he runs off and goes behind a waterfall. Aelita ignores his request and follows him anyway as do we
Behind the waterfall we find an entrance to Caratos Mountain which seems to be quite fiery for a non-volcano and Aelita joins your party so no need to run back for heals
And then you run into tentacles
And this guy
Installed under the authority of Madelis
So we found a Team Xen hideout
SEC has a shadow Ponyta, so should probably grab that
Once you beat it, SEC explodes
But you’ll be meeting it again
Walk into the door and we find a bunch of Xen grunts and some have shadow mons too
At the end of the area you’ll run into SEC who will ask for passwords you find on signs throughout the area
There are three and they are case sensitive so put on caps lock as you type them
One more battle and then you’re clear to enter the elevator
Turns out Xen got an entire mansion built in the mountain
You encounter SEC 2.0 aka Clara who grabs Aelita and delivers her to Madelis
Inside the place is Keta who teams up with you to solve Madelis’ puzzles and get to the back of the mansion
You can get an Upgrade and Mime Jr during this, and plenty of double battles for EXP and money
Fun fact: I discovered later on in the game if you bring Mime Jr. to a snowy mountain and evolve it there, you get Galarian Mr. Mime. Keep that in mind if you want a Mr. Rime.
All four keys obtained, you can now go confront Madelis and she has a few bombs to drop
Turns out she saved Keta’s life a year ago and allowed Team Xen to burrow into Carotos Mountain and let them determine the lives of Sheridan’s people
Keta wants to cancel that contract, but Madelis isn’t too happy with that
Also we learn that Aelita is Keta’ daughter here
Bit important, figured I should mention it
Madelis uses Instant Transmission and takes Aelita to a more fitting place to battle and explains that she’s going to kill us with something designed for the leader of Xen, Madame X
And the project she has ready?
Yeeeep
And she jams our Snatching Machine so we can’t even try to catch it
Next is a double battle with Keta as a buddy
You get a Zumi image of Madelis with the text “Fall” and that’s gonna be your experience here
Mewtwo is at a manageable level but it’s a Mewtwo, not gonna be having the best of times
I beat it with priority moves and Keta having enough mons left for my Koffing to poison it
But the message saying Mewtwo fainted apparently is irrelevant to the current situation and Madelis commands it to attack Aelita
Keta suddenly hears the voice of Taelia calling for him to protect Aelita and starts to fight it hand to hand
He confesses his sins and prepares to meet Arceus
We run with Aelita and go to complete Keta’s final mission: destroy the generator to this place
And the generator is this
A Rift Volcanion
Madelis arrives to inform us that Keta is dead and the only way to shut off the generator is to destroy the Pokemon itself
Aelita takes on Madelis while we deal with the rift
We get transported to another Rift world, this one a bit more lovely and hear something calling out for its mother
Turns out it’s the Volcanion which is actually a child desperately trying to find its mother and asks if you’ll bring it to her
Personally I question how necessary it was to give this rift mon this backstory
We’ve firmly established that Team Xen is lead by monsters, this just seems to be a bit much
Once you beat it, the Volcanion thanks you and you go back to the mountain where you find Aelita on the ground, Mewtwo reenacting the choking Sasuke meme with Madelis
And Cresecent’s Gothitelle
Crescent herself makes her appearance and decides now would be a lovely time to remind us how often we keep almost getting killed
Clara helpfully reminds us that this place is about to blow and Crescent has her Gothitelle teleport us away
To be continued....
