Your abuse of the letter "Z" has gone too far this time!
Also I'm enjoying seeing a look at all the Version 10 changes, like the Tangrowth which I think is actually creepier than the Rift Carnivine. The eye placement is just disconcerting. Also props to literally everyone in the group for doing actually nothing during Nim abduction. That's something that Jan seriously needs to work on.

In case you do not know there's also a guy named Derogatory Trainer who has a nuzlocke of Reborn (on hiatus) and one of Rejuv (ongoing) as well.
The man is hilarious, and I highly recommend reading both runs.
Dudes the reason I'm on this site.

Can't do that productively when you're Nuzlocking for obvious reasons. You need to know ahead of time what you're up against and how to fight it.
Yeah, a blind nuzlocke is basically suicide as shown by the Penta-op crew.

It's possible to nuzlocke this game like that Dai Laughing guy on YouTube, but you need a hell of a lot of preparation and luck to do so.

Its honestly amazing how incompetent Team Xen is barring Madame X and maybe Nastasia. They had a perfect chance to catch Melia and didn't. At this point I wish one of them was a double agent and was actively working against them from the inside (maybe Ren?). Like it could be cool, they're feeding you info about plans and targets but naw they just kinda suck. They make Team Meteor look damn good in comparison.
Well at least Angie will be a . . .interesting experience to say the least.
Also Sean x Tesla is not gonna happen no matter how much you wish it.

Oh boy this is back, I read through this in a day and I wanted to comment but this was back during the hiatus and I didn't want to necro the thread.
I follow Derogatory's Nuzlocke of this and I followed Shofu's playthrough, but it's interesting getting a look at Rejuvenation through different eyes. Heck, I'm even playing it myself, but I'm much farther behind just about to start the stuff with Marriannette.
It's funny how your views and their views overlap at certain points, yet differ in others. Particularly Ren, I was kinda surprised you defended him, but your argument for his actions was pretty well done. I'm still not the biggest fan of the guy but I get why he does what he does. All things considered there's bigger fish to fry (Melia mostly, which you and Derogatory said pretty much everything I could possibly say).
All I can say is good luck because the game is about to throw quite a bit of. . . . stuff at you to put it kindly.
-
As a long time watcher of Shofu, things like that don't phase me as much anymore.

Yep. "Oh, you have this really important place to go to to do this really important thing with not much time? Well I can't let you do that. FITE ME SCRUB 1v1 LET'S GO"
The bad part is that it's not the first time she does it too, remember when you enter the Obsidia Ward for the first time.

Same. I find that sometimes they try too hard to be edgy and it just kinda ends up annoying and cringe-worthy, with that particular speech being the worst in the run.
I've honestly seen worse, I watched the Light Platinum Penta-Op and witnessed the horror that was Professor Jasmine's voice. I'm pretty sure what happened there is illegal in some countries.
Also is it bad I get a near sadistic amount of delight whenever they run up against Gym Leaders and other important battles, because they usually end up struggling and getting salty as a result. It's generally been a highlight for me.

I mean it's an improvement over about a day ago when the links to I think every single picture in the threads were broken.

An explanation suggested a long while back that Ame liked was that in the battle between Solaris and Amaria, Solaris' Tyranitar had used a Superpower or two already, so it's attack had been lowered enough for Amaria to survive it.
That. . . works actually. I kinda wish it was implied in the game itself, because otherwise it's just Amaria taking a full strength Superpower to the face and shrugging it off. Which makes Solaris leaving all the more appropriate considering he would understandibly be unnerved by that.
7 minutes ago, DemICE said:Why did they get the slightly unstable community release tho.. impatient much ?
To be fair, the team is a LONG ways off from hitting the actual Episode 18 content so that may help? That and they may not know that these initial releases are a bit buggy.
-
Well besides Nexus, they dealt with the ZEL pretty easily. Also Mo and Nexus' concern for Amaria was kinda touching. I'm still surprised Amaria didn't outright die after getting superpowered. Like the game plays people getting hit by stuff like that mostly straight (Terra and her hammer aside) so that always made my eyebrows rise.
-
Reborn has an intimidating reputation for a reason apparently. That Mimikyu is terrifying, it's guaranteed to get a Swords Dance off no matter what.
Also, Twit is the true hero of the Nuzlocke. A shining beacon of light against the Darkness.
-
At some point you gotta wonder what Team Xen is thinking just waiting on the plot to come back to them, like they could have chucked Nim into the lava ages ago and we'd never know until it was too late.
Also Rose continues to be the best thing ever, that Master Ball man.
The whole Saki/Venam battle was a . . . thing. About the only thing Melia did was soak up hits honestly. Also enjoy the villa, its about the nicest thing you're going to get for awhile.
-
Oh boy are we in for another update bomb? I'm totally in.
Also I despise how that scene where you meet Tesla goes. You meet the first person to help you in the Aevium region and its setting up for a sweet reunion, and then boom it all turns to Melia again. Like Jan, you couldn't wait two minutes at the very least.
-
You're back and you're in desperate need of a shave. You should try to edit a beard onto your trainer sprite.
It's telling after dealing with Melia for an extended period that Saki feels almost tolerable in comparison.
-
And once again Nappy is the only one who doesn't get completely mulched.
That Pelliper/Sharpedo combo is terrifying.
EDIT: Also surprised that Wartortle wasn't a Blastoise.

They're making good use of electric terrain, but I wonder if they'll become too dependant on it. It irks me a lil, as I've never been a big fan of using the terrain moves (it feels like you're just ignoring a big chuck of the battle dynamic) but I understand it's a strong strat, especially as they're nuzlockeing.
@ZEL because he said "rock smash the araquanid because it's supereffective and then thunderpunch for the defense drop" I think he just said the effects in the wrong order, but the others kinda jumped on it lol
All's fair in a nuzlocke, the lives of their Pokemon depend on them making the right plays. Stacking the odds in your favor when you can is a nuzlocke tradition, and sometimes even that isn't enough.

Totally worth the 2 days of work
No wonder Kiki didn't feel so good
Honestly from all the LP's of the game, Kiki seems to be the easiest gym battle up to that point in the game. I'm starting to wonder if that was deliberate on Ame's part to lull the player into a false sense of security before she drops Solaris on them.
-
Wow compared to the wake up call fight with Julia and the sheer STRUGGLE with Florinia, this was comparatively painless. Nappy getting triggered at the switching made me laugh.
The increased amount of options available at this point in the game helped these guys immensely.

Jesus Christ Jamaican Pirate Corey and Chinese Taka? Can I just watch this with subtitles or something lol?
I wish I could just like, spirit guide them in discord
Hey the whole game is text anyways, Corey could totally have a Jamaican accent.
Also that Tangrowth wasn't AS bad as the first. Being overleveled helped a bit.
-
Rose is the greatest, she really is one of the highlights of the run. Glad she got to shine now, because for what comes next, she's likely gonna take the bench for awhile.
Also these Rangers are an embarrassment to their service.
-
The Breloom and Cradily being the big obstacles was unsurprising.
I can just imagine Florina grading the gang while they're battling and giving them all failing grades.

I'm off the site for a few days and I miss multiple updates.
God the Ren Team Xen thing was a trainwreck pun intended. You win the battle but Nastasia and Ren just get away without anyone lifting a finger. I feel like that happens WAY too frequently in Rejuvenation. You have to wonder why Jan even has you Pokemon battle after a certain point.
Well at least the Crawli battle should be cakewalk.
Pokemon Reborn Pentaop is Here

Another important battle, another disaster. They were not ready for that Drampa.
