Im not sure why my team was specifically healed like this but I think I can just barely eek out a win without outright revive spam, if I'm stuck in a timeloop then Im just going to stare tiempa down until I know how I can beat her I guess while I'm thinking what exactly do you guys consider itemfagging? Would a single max revive be enough or is there a limit?
Orevald !!uFy26nWSF72
Not a bad shiny, not amazing either, I don't like Lucario but I literally nothing else that can reliably deal with Dark types right now.
Going a bit over how you get Riolu, it's kind of autistic, when you lads reach Ireland and come across this quest, ask away if you're confused, because you get vastly different rewards depending on your choices.
>>56195656 Yup, you can save Scarlet now.

>>56195836 I get why he does it this way, there's got to be a better way to write a glorified savestate system than this, unless Essentials' inner workings are just that ass. I can see a universe where this is unfortunately the best way to do it given the sheer number of edge cases that need to be accounted for. I also see plenty of universes where this is just jeet-tier retardation and this could be trivialized with a different data structure. Given that it's Jan I'd bet on the latter but I'm not entirely writing off the former given some of the things I've seen in Essentials code snippets.

it also doubles this because she has two separate timeloops, one for when she first becomes origin forme, and the second when her last shield is broken
it then also snapshots the state of the battle
then it sorts it all into nice little indexes to be called on, and then actually figures out how to 'revert' the battle in the last bit

All in all, I'm really liking Desolation so far. While Blackview's map design is sort of obnoxious, the game hammering in the message of URBAN SPRAWL SOULLESS AND BAD is based as fuck and I can overlook the mild inconveniences for the ludokino.

kind of wonder if someone like alpharad or someone in that tier of popularity will rejuvenate (heh) the game's popularity, it currently pulls dogshit numbers on jewtube and doesn't really seem to be popular outside of niche discords and tumblr.
i imagine most streamers are intimidated or confused by the Kingdom Hearts+ tier clusterfuck that is the story and the constant version/remake retardation. even the regular fangametubers like voltsy don't touch or mention it kek, like a disease
>>56196142 yeah, deso's got its issues, but it's (mostly) tied up in the mapping and some of the inconveniences

>>56196695 The devs know it's pretty obvious if you read between the lines, but if they wasted all the buildup to it, it would be really fucking insulting, it's been hinted for a long while. Desolation does a good enough job at building things up and expecting the player to notice tiny details, like some
characters speaking as if they weren't really themselves in certain sections if you pay attention, compare this to Rejuvenation screaming in your face with golden text as if Jan's writing wasn't so fucking predictable. It would be really lame if it was Vera aka the shy and mysterious Dragon leader we only heard mention of.

And I'm assuming the obtuse method makes it too tedious to consider resetting until you get the one you want?
There are a couple pokemon I've seen with evolution items that I'm hoping aren't going to be aids to obtain like Gulpin's new third form, Meltan's, etc.
I guess it's a good thing there aren't any pseudos I need to worry about

Leonymous !!wgGLdYXkQ+8
>>56196717 Compared to the version I played when I was younger, what I knew was a lot worse but the stuff after isn't as horrible as I imagined it would be. A lot of older story beats have just been completely destroyed from Jan's rewrites and shit memory, including multiple things never getting followed up on again (The Snag Machine, Akuwa's residents, Kanon's crush on Melia, etc) that were originally and stuff like Tesla taking you in having a lot less weight now that there's 3 other "Here's your new room!" scenes and the stuff surrounding your mom that was added. Not to mention the stuff like Ren's anger at not saving his town still being tossed aside, and all the shit trying to justify bad people doing horrible things. I'm also never getting over Kris fucking Deltarune just showing up. The story was a mess before but it had a better good to bad ratio I feel when compared to what is now. But I won't lie, Renegade does have me interested in seeing where this goes when V14 comes out in 3 years at best. The game's problems ironically make for a great set up to a "Fuck this, I hate this world and I want it to burn" edgekino route, which almost feels retroactively intentional? Like Jan wasn't thinking of that at the start but at some point had to realize some people were tired of having to treat literal whos as besties and went with it instead of actually fixing any of it. A lot of M2's dialogue just feels too accurate to my own feelings at times for it to be coincidence.
As for where I go from here, I'm not too sure. I dont think I want to jump into Reborn this soon, but Desolation seems pretty interesting. I mostly just jumped in here because I was replaying Rejuv anyway and wanted some people to talk about it with, but I think I'm gonna wait and see if I still got the bug to play more pokemon before starting another game. Also depends on how long Desolation is because good lord I spent a lot of time of Rejuv alone

Easily your best moment so far, Connor. I'm guessing that Tristan is bleeding in through another strata of reality hence nobody remembers him here but the diaries suggest an alternate timeline. Or this is all a dream and he's in the 'real' world.
>>56196733 I'm pretty sure Rejuv is easily the longest of the main 3 trio and obviously for all the wrong reasons sometimes, if that influences your decision. After getting your chain jerked along by the tards around you in Rejuv I think you'd find Deso to be a nice change of pace, but I completely understand if you need time to rest before jumping into a new game.

>A single one and you don't get to choose I can just tell you, it's not that big of a spoiler.
you can give up your ability to save after the 10th gym, and if you do that, then do every single sidequest in the next area, which includes a secret quest, then you get a specific pseudo item depending on your response to two specific questions earlier in that chapter That means you only get 4 pseudos of your choice
Very well made game, as you can tell
>>56196761 The writer of One Piece said in interviews a while ago that if anyone correctly guesses the plot he changes it

>>56196733 Also, good review. At least ignoring the dumpster fire that is the story - though that's an insult to dumpster fires - did you at least have fun with the actual gameplay and such?
And yeah, as said by others but Deso is a nice change of pace and features a story written by human beings that don't just regurgitate the anime they watch into an incoherent mess, so at least would be much more of a pleasant sit through than Rejuv
Anonymous
>>56196732 No, Empire is extremely autistic with how you get items and such, I'm not going to spoil it, well too much anyway, but the way you're meant to get the evolutionary item for pseudos is completely fucking moronic, makes no sense and relies on the player fucking gimping themselves, and you can't even fucking use it when you obtain it, you don't even get a choice in which item you obtain too, because Octavius hates the player and wants to see you suffer.
Also Goodra and I think Kommo-o both got nerfed and are no longer pseudos.
>>56196733 GG and sorry you had to endure a lot of Rejuvenation's shittery. Desolation is much shorter than Rejuvenation, still a bit long, but you can probably get through the game in a few afternoons of playing it, still highly recommend get a bit of rest.
>>56196782 GG as well, I found the secret to this fight depending on the Pokemon you're running to just be buying aspear berries, they help a lot with freezes and boost special attack, though they're sadly not very affordable with how stingy Empire tends to be.

>>56196916 >did you at least have fun with the actual gameplay and such? For the most part yeah, the difficulty could be utter bullshit at times but at least I had to actively think about what I was doing and prepare, which honestly preparation tends to be one of my favorite parts of an rpg. That does lessen a bit halfway through when new routes become a lot less common and the game shifts focus away from what exploration it had to hour long cutscenes and character bloat. The side quests really start to fall off as well when the story tries taking itself more and more seriously. Early on they were nice enough distractions and a lot more of them get brought up later in the main story than I'd expect, though obviously not all of them are winners like odessa's entire quest is garbage the whole way. The main problem is really the sheer amount of fucking padding, roughly 200 hours when you cut idle time generously and it's still not done. My first playthrough of Persona 5 was like 130 start to finish with time spent idle, and I already consider that really long. But whenever there was actual gameplay, it was good enough to keep me playing that long if at a cost to my patience.

>>56196733 I started playing Rejuvenation starting in V8, whichever one ended with Flora, and my core issues with the game than are still there now. V8 Rejuv was a poorly strung together fanboy attempt at a loveletter to weeb and children's media (the best worst media food group). Madame X was named after a singular episode of Pokemon XY apparently, and wielded "Senketsuken" because Kill La Kill was le sex in 2015. Even Aelita I want to say is a Code Lyoko reference, Ren was just an edgy anime rival at the time, etc.
The main point I have is that it had no real identity or vision it wanted to present. It's literally just a slurry of references to games and anime Jan likes with his Yandev-esque waifu as the "Central force". That's why the game weathervanes in quality and design from version to version, there is literally no glue holding it together. What you see now will be changed significantly by V15 if not earlier. That's why I don't buy Renegade all that much, even if it is the better route. You'd actually have to commit to the bit, and Jan has literally never committed to any bit except for jacking off to Melia, cause there's no unique story he wants to tell.
Orion

Melia is far from the worst character these days, but she's pretty representative of the story design problems. She's a JRPG lead with a mysterious backstory and ties to the main villain, you can't get more generic than that. Jan of course thinks she's super interesting cause he wants to fuck her, but that isn't enough for an audience. He tries to make her more interesting by giving her a super convoluted backstory, but it feels so ungrounded and ridiculous that there's no humanization aspect to her. Compare that to Aelita, who is introduced having human problems like her relationship with her father, her love for her hometown, and then continues to show human qualities and actually be a good friend and it's clear why everyone likes her better.

if it had a good editor to rein the story into maybe one or two of the various plots/ripoffs (time travel, rifts, shadow pokemon, meta interceptor bullshit, team xen, meliaspam, probably other stuff too... also cut the cast by at least a third)

There's also a bunch of hidden items scattered around but most of them are in extremely obvious one-tile paths with rocks at the end

We get to spend quite a few sections with her and we never learn anything from her or see her having all too human struggles, problems and emotions, she is the clearest case of a bland as paper Mary Sue even after all these years, it's really fucking obnoxious how the entire Terajuma plot is derailed at full force to focus on Melia and she's not seen as being a bitch for it, the same goes for Erin, another one of Jan's pets, who's arguably far worse and yet she's never in the wrong.

Whiteouts: 14 because Crowd field is retarded, but I 6-0'd the next attempt
and did it again because I wasn't recording, because it really is just that easy https://files.catbox.moe/opq190.mp4 The only thing in rng's hands is Psychic on Hitmontop, ohko'ing is a range if I don't Calm mind, I just forgot to on this attempt, but it doesn't actually matter if I do or not, Psychic terrain lasts long enough for the extra turn I'm pretty sure

I don't have anything that deals with Water and Ghost types well enough and many of my Pokemon have glaring flaws, doesn't help that everything I face runs either Knock Off or strong Fighting moves like Superpower or Close Combat, so I'm always on the backfoot and because I'm me, crits are pretty guaranteed to fuck me over each and every time.
>>56199242 GG, I'm still thinking how I'm gonna deal with that demon at the end considering I don't have access to Araquanid anymore, might have to burn a focus sash on my Wobbuffet.

My current team of sorts and the one I used for the fight, I am not kidding when I say I had to resort to obscene levels of trial and error and autism to get through this, I had to fully invest my Delphox into physical bulk, had to constantly make hard switches and rely on not getting completely fucked by crits and the worst part is how fucking unpredictable Aaron is, his Empoleon keeps pointing a gun at both of my Pokemon's head and I had to figure out which he was going to try and shoot at, I had to resort to lowering the levels of a few of my Pokemon like Magnezone and Zen Darmanitan just so they would be slow enough to outspeed key threats under Trick Room, and worst of all was how obscenely stupid that fucking Bronzong was, sometimes it seemed to notice my Pokemon were slow enough to outspeed it and it would turn off Trick Room to fuck me over, which made this fight into a hectic dance of me trying to exploit the AI and praying to the skies I wouldn't get fucked, this was not fun, not at all.

If we're showing off our current teams, this is what I've got. Utilizing some stolen Leftovers (and one bought from the undercity) I've got this weird balance core that's great at reacting to a wide variety of threats from conventional teams (even with pulse2+15% level increase) but has a bit of a harder time beating specific types of overleveled single boss mons.

>>56199955 It is
Just talk to Rosetta before you go into the archives, you already did her Orevald !!uFy26nWSF72
>>56199955 It is and it allows you to save a certain girl as well, heavily recommend saving her if possible because for one it helps get the good ending but it also makes something later much easier to do, as well as enabling you to get a date later.
>>56199962 Weird, you sure you read all of them? The one off to the right you need the archives key for is not obligatory for plot progression, though like I said it's something that enables the good ending and gives you rewards later, if you need helps getting through it just ask, it's sorta like the Anna Smiles stuff from Reborn.

So this means Nova is or at least was Darkrai ?
Orevald !!uFy26nWSF72
>>56200011 I did warn you lads to do the sewers quest and immediately go talk to her, she disappears if you go to the archives, you can just go back a few saves and talk to her again.
>>56200012 Basically the whole thing involves you fighting Aurora and saving Nova, now I understand why saving her might sound stupid especially considering what she did and will do soon, but it's not really her calling the shots, to do so you need to read the entry with the archives key and say "she saved Shiv" to Aurora, this enables you to get important points later that help get the good ending, it also enables some kino scenes in chapter 6 as well as a date with the goth redhead.
