Spoilermega was charizard-X for most of the game. swapped to charizard-y just so i could set up sun on the laura/bennett fight and sweep with hyper voice sylveon. then switched to metagrossite specifically for the anna battle.
lanturn worked as a slow pivot that i would switch to and soak up damage, and so i could safely volt switch into others (was playing on set + no items). also thunder wave is great. also i just love lanturn

How do you even get less than 0? The max amount of Karma you can lose seems to be only -6. Is it even possible to get the -10/-20 Bad Ending bonuses?

Also not on this list but my pick would be
SpoilerAmaria, as it's pretty heavily implied that she's dead post gym battle.
But if we're only counting 100% dead char's, it would be
SpoilerTaka.

I love Rejuvenation. The story, even though it has some plot holes, it feels interesting and exciting, the characters are well developed, and almost everyone has their own moment to shine. However, my main problem appears with Melia. Specifically, her relationship with Venam, and the way the game mistakes self improvement with self deprecation.
For the most part, starting in the Terajuma arc, following Venam's reintroduction, and her own character arc. For the most part, Venam is a selfish and immature person. While this may be played for fun and laughs in the beginning, it turns into a real problem later in the story, which is one of Rejuvenation's (and by extent, reborn) strong points; presenting real world problems in a believable manner.
Most of Venam's character arc consists on her acknowledging her own flaws, and the way they impact the world around her. For the most part, this is something good, because it becomes the cornerstone of a healthy relationship. However, when the motivation to overcomes this flaws turns into "being good enough for Melia", ironically, this turns into something toxic. Now, Venam is not good enough to be with Melia. She puts Melia into a pedestal, hoping for her to recognize her (Venam) own achievements.
To put ot simply, Melia is a good friend, not only because she recognizes the flaws on the people around her, but because she actually tries to help those people overcome their flaws. However, this quickly turns into a game of entitlement, in which Melia becomes the one to decide if someone is good enough for her, or the one to determine a person's worth.
And, even though the main motivation for Venam's growth is being good enough for Melia, this turns into a big problem when the motivation becomes the end goal. Venam will now feel bad, not because she feels regretful of herself and her bad decisions, but because Melia will not see her as someone worthy of her company. Portrayed like this, a relationship based on the promise of self improvement, becomes one that promotes self deprecating, and a noticeable power-gap.
holy crap, thank you. i've had this internal thing of why i really disliked the romance between her and melia so much, but no way of properly explaining it, and this hits all the notes. i really doubt that this is what the relationship is meant to be based off of, but all of the events leading up to this basically consisted of melia berating venam and it just seemed like a cycle of venam playing catch-up specifically for her appeasement. i think the fact that we only see pretty small amounts of venam + melia's relationship before the actual events of the game is the biggest problem. all of the events of the game are like, inherently tied with drama and conflict, so we only get to see that side of the two. some of this seems to have been addressed with the changed Forest of Time cutscene and dialogue changes in past Aevium so i think we're getting steps of improvement, but yeaah.

How in the world do you get Articuno?
SpoilerYou'll need the Frozen Orb from the most recent ranger quest. Surf in Silver Rise, you'll come across a cave with an Articuno statue. Surf down that river, and there will be a cave entrance. Just go up that path, and there'll be an event to catch Articuno.

It's quite similar if you try to resist but lack the will to do so. Darkrai follows you back into Ayrith, and then there's a conversation between Nova and Lilith where Lilith frets that maybe she tried to tell you too much and didn't trust you enough to make the right decision by yourself. Then you get some green text from Nova and she saves you from Darkrai in Celia and joins everyone else in your Mansion shortly after to offer her help with defeating Darkrai saying there's still a chance with the cycle breaking.
I didn't really experiment with simply going forward with Darkrai's will, but in that scenario Lilith and Nova instead talk about how you blindly fell for Aurora and Shiv's trap and got entangled in their lies. I don't even recall seeing Nova appear in Celia to confront Darkrai, but as I said I didn't experiment much with that.
I have no clue how any of the scenarios play out if we chose to side against Shiv and helped Aurora kill Nova or if we simply didn't read the hidden diary entry accessed by the key Rosetta gives us before venturing into the Archives back in E4, leaving us with no option to save Nova's life even if we sided with Shiv.
SpoilerIf Nova is dead and you lack insight, you legit get murdered by Darkrai and trigger a bad end screen.

Surfing here allows you to skip the cutscene entirely. Additionally, if you interact with Garret from here, the game will repeat the scene with Skipper and the game will softlock.

Max friendship Eevee evolves into Sylveon, despite knowing no Fairy-type moves. This means you can't evolve your Eevee into an Espeon or Umbreon, no matter what.

Leaving the Archives top room before reading the 6th diary entry teleports you into this door, and you're unable to move.

First off, I'm so happy to hear that Caz is doing well, and I hope all of you enjoy being on the Deso team. It's very exciting that this project is continuing
Secondly, god bless the speed-up button!
And for the actual question--I'm really sorry but this is super specific--are you guys going to be using Ruby's redraw of the title screen? I remember seeing it on Tumblr and going like
Was Ruby on the team at the time she made that?

N-Nani?!
Came across this while screwing around, it's the first phrase in the Dimensional Rift notebook-thing. It must be some kind of opening phrase or saying in the game.

"Meet" and "Existentialists" are probably names or something, which may be why they're capitalized. Makes it even harder to unscramble
