So I recently gave Pokemon Reborn a try and gave up half an hour in because of how absurdly edgy it was.
It actually felt like Pokemon: Edge Rising except it wasn't a joke. Does it get any better or should I just delete it?

Edge or edgy topics (like war) can work in fangames as long as tonally the game doesn't take itself too seriously or makes fun of itself at times but the reason why edgy Pokemon fangames are always so cringe is that they take themselves 100% seriously

Just try ignoring the edge and gender stuff as much as you can. It's pretty solid otherwise.

The feild mechanics and the level cap are pretty rad ideas, as well as Gym Leaders for every type and them not being fucking pushovers.
Put some of that shit in a Pokemon game and axe the edgy story and I would pay good money for that shit.

And honestly putting your friends in the game in kinda cute, although considerably disrespectful in Corey's case (He committed suicide irl AND in the game!)

The gameplay is the best this franchise will ever know, and there's more content and secrets to be found than in most """Triple-A""" titles, but the game was written by a teenage girl and it shows.
I recommend embracing the teenage angst and just going for it.
Spoiling for blogpost: I roleplayed my main character as some haughty Ace Trainer that gradually grew from being an edgelord to a more friendly, compassionate person over the course of the adventure and ended up having a great time with it.

Story is pretty edgy and LGBT, but I kept playing cause I love the big dystopian city and the music

I'm not very advanced in the story tho
I paused my playthrough a few months ago just after beating the Poinson Gym leader
So maybe I won't like the rest, but so far it as pretty good

It gets worse. Far, far worse. Get out while you still can. If the edgy awful story somehow interests you, just watch a youtube playthrough. It's not worth dealing with the pain of playing through this trash yourself.

From what I got the writing's complete shit but the gameplay's above average for a Pokemon fangame. I'll still pass, but keep it on my hard drive in case I get really bored.

No. It started as a painfully obvious copycat of reborn (many similar characters, same field effects with no innovation to stand out, similar super-city initial layout), but since ame and jan are friends there was no problem. It improved with time in the technical department and made an increasing effort to go its own way, but it's still not really much to call home about: the story is more about your companions than about you as the main character, and it feels like it goes nowhere the more you play. There are things about it that you might like if you like reborn, but I'd suggest just playing reborn at that point.

The only spawn of reborn that has a chance of becoming better than it if well-handed is desolation, but I'm not even sure if it's discontinued at this point. Hope not.

almost everything. the way the original R/B games dealt with death was way better than what they did here and the original's one was poorly executed. in Reborn, they treat the subject of death as of what a closeted 14 year old weeaboo would write in her fanfiction, so over the fucking top that you can't even feel sorry for anyone who dies in Reborn.

It's already perfectly fine to begin with.

If you play Pokémon for the story, you're a drooling imbecile because it's okay but it's never been anything to write home about.

The gameplay in Reborn is top notch though and that's what really matters in a game.

Sure, if you like shitty level caps forced regardless of any sort of difficulty setting, or being forced to use shitmon
If I'm going to play a fangame for the gameplay and ignore the shitty, edgy story, I'd sooner pick insurgence.

For a good while I was agreeing. Then it throws a boss rush consisting of FIVE Trainers with full teams, with only one full heal in-between. They also are making illegal EVs a plot point.

I like the gameplay, field effects, tight difficulty and some of the worldbuilding. It's the only Pokemon game I've ever played where I was compelled to train more than 6 pokemon in order to cover weaknesses, abuse certain field effects and defeat gym leaders before the endgame.

Just ignore the main cast and plot and it's really fine.

how?
The male chromosome is literally "XY" and the female is "XX".
If anything, it should be Z, which would turn into "Zhe, Zhi, or Zhyr" respectively

I often had to reset gym leader battles because my one way of defeating them relied on one particular move at one moment, or the gym leader sending its pokemon in one particuklar order...etc
Then again I kinda inflicted myself extra difficulty by playing with only pokemon I like rather than good ones

I've played it all the way through until the 12th gym badge before I decided to quit. There's a decent challenge under what >>36635862 said but it basically spirals out of control gameplaywise somewhere around the 10th gym badge and I just fucking hated this one big green area which is a pain to travel through. I honestly don't know how you could even stomache playing this dumpster fire without Protean Greninja because even the Alola region has more pokemon diversity than this trash.
