Whats ethans deal in this?

Quoted By:
Kino..............
>>57692798 From what I've gathered so far
he was neglected all his life, has a similar empathic power to the MC, but due to being spurred and neglected, his power acts slightly different, he has a connection to Red due to their respective powers and despite them both being supposedly friends, it's obvious Ethan resents Red somewhat due to him making friends way easier, Ethan can't broadcast his emotions as well as Red can. It's pretty obvious were this is eventually going to culminate if you read the social page for Ethan. FormerlyAshime !vRZhOalgQo

>How to handwave away a character's lack of screentime so far with a half-joke Were a lot of these characters added as the game went on and not planned to be in from the getgo? Given the nature of the setting I think it'd do this game a lot of good for the dev to go back through earlygame scenes and stick each character "added" to later weeks in as background in multiple of the early ones instead of just a one-off bit like having Wally freak out over Roxanne messing up the microphone at the start.
>>57692909 kek. Tesla and Amber are among the more tolerable characters in Rejuv, so cherish them while they're there.

>>57692926 Spoilers. The likeliest candidates:
"Nate", Ethan, Klara The reasons:
You can never trust a glownigger, not even if he tells you his "backstory". Either Ethan is a displaced time-traveler because of his possession of the GS Ball and Spiky-Eared Pichu OR he is actually Celebi. Would explain why he has trouble with remembering names a fair bit too. Klara is far, far too chummy with Red for the same amount of work put into her. Sure, this can be attributed to her being simply an obsessive, thirsty homewrecker (implied), but if she's a Pokémon that's not on the same tier of wilfulness as Tia, then it would make a great deal of sense. Ranked in terms of actual likelihood, it's Ethan, then Nate, then Klara. But it could just as likely be another character not yet introduced. FormerlyAshime !vRZhOalgQo
This scene ended up being far funnier than I thought it'd be from RG's no context screenshot.

I understand Ethan's pain, I get what they were going for here with the mirror thing, but it feels utterly bizarre seeing Ethan without Typhlosion or even Feraligatr (sorry Meganiumbros), it just feels wrong.
>>57692966 It really sucks seeing some interesting characters just not show up earlier on, even if just briefly, Jasmine and Grusha kinda make sense at least.
>>57693011 I disagree with the first, I don't think that's the case with the second and the third.....possible.....or maybe a Salazzle somehow got turned into a woman, it would make more sense kek.
>>57693023 A literal fish also found a gamebreaking glitch by completing accident while beating Sapphire before Claude had even finally managed to learn the secret sailor technique. At least he finally stopped feeding the fat bird levels and finally realized Puff was the run's champ, well besides Sprou, Sprou is also a champ.

Quoted By:
>>57693041 I think the biggest issue with Renegade and why it simply does not work is because the game does not change if you go into it until the end, so much so that Jan outright expected players to just grab debug and mess with the bad ending modifier switches. You just go along with the cast of fucktards around with no choice of your own, the game makes such a big deal about the player's freedom to do what he wants in the story, you don't get to do fucked up things or be a criminal or something truly horrid, you don't get to be evil or rebellious, you're just a prick to every character, that's it, it's such a horrible degree of tonal dissonance and it never stops. Rejuvenation's story is far too bloated and direnctionless to ever go anywhere, there's no cohesion, things just happen. As if to make it worse, Jan has had this stupid obsession with trying to pull "le big epic twist" at the end of every single fucking chapter we've been getting since v11.

Nothing. A. Few. Items. Can't. Fix.

Oh wow, thanks game, I love getting kicked in the balls. I feel extremely salty that I couldn't come up with anything to win this, but I had nothing, I couldn't get male Meowtism by this point, no Sturdy Pokemon, my selection of choices was so painfully shit that realistically there was nothing I could do and the game is pretty much mocking me despite me realistically having no chance. Great, awesome.
>>57694401 I don't really have one and I don't think most anyone here has, the thing is it's been such a long time since Musk more or less fucked off after he had a massive spergout and nearly ruined everything because he had to act like a literal discord moderator and try to abuse what little leaverage he had over others (me in this case). Nigger hasn't posted on /vp/ for more than a year at this point, I lost count how long ago his last thread was.
I suppose if I had to make a decision it would likely be Delphox since it has been my go to in pretty much every game that allows me to get one or Aggron, who's my other go to.

>>57694999 I didn't find it too bad because of how clearly defined the loss condition was meaning that there was a pretty clear design intent in the solution with no variance. Compared to some of Salt and Shadow's puzzles where the loss condition is sometimes a little more abstract or you can sort of brute force half the fight with good RNG without really comprehending what you're doing "wrong" in some cases makes finding the "correct" path through a bit less clear in my experience.

I'm new to fangames, but I started Pokémon Reborn last year on recommendation. Made a little progress in the early game but was caught up with other things until the past couple weeks; currently I've just beaten Blake in Ametrine, so still a substantial way to go but enough cleared that I can formulate some impressions. I'll start with praise: regardless of any issues with the writing, I have to credit Reborn for playing like the kind of Shin Pokémon Tensei game that a lot of people claim to want. By that, I mean a gritty setting with a greater emphasis on urbanism; puzzle bosses that demand that you be inventive with the resources available to you and retain a large bench; plus a relatively smooth difficulty curve that should not be hard for players to understand if they have even a modest comprehension of Pokémon mechanics. I gated myself gradually from 'gaming' the system too hard and tried solving problems by bringing up new Pokémon with Exp. Candies until I really needed to use vitamins to make matchups consistent or until the game started transparently pushing this need onto me, like the Power items at Agate Circus. Even so, I held out until Charlotte before intentionally maxing out any of my Pokémon's EVs. Trying to play 'with' the game rather than against it has been rewarding, and I enjoy the field effects. I feel that there is also considerate design in how the game subtly prepares you for the challenges with the Pokémon adjacent to them. For example, I picked up a Shelmet not too long before Radomus and had encountered the trainer in Spinel who would trade for Karrablast. Reading that Radomus was a Trick Room user made Escavalier a no-brainer, and she ended up the crucial player in that battle. I have not felt at any point so far that the game was trying to 'mess' with me if I was willing to play along, and on this basis, I think Reborn would be enjoyed by anyone seeking that kind of grittier Pokémon experience. 1/3. Spoilers in subsequent posts.
ShellBell !!ZxJq/2n5/dD
>>57695780 I'm not dogmatic about what I consider appropriate in works of art and entertainment. Pokémon Reborn presents suicide, insanity, murder, and abuse, and I'm fine with that. But the writing is often too artless to carry off its seriousness.
The notorious waterfall scene is case in point. I suspected that the raw and melodramatic dialogue was taken from a real relationship with a BPD person and was confirmed in this by Amethyst's creator commentary. However, while the words have verisimilitude, the scene is poorly crafted. That Titania happens to be writing a diary entry about her feelings of resentment in enabling Amaria just as the player walks in, that this prickly and secretive character leaves it open and visible to the player and her depressed and emotionally unstable partner who is due to return momentarily—these are weak contrivances. The characters feel real but it's clumsy and could've been improved with gentler pacing and a more plausible discovery (e.g. private communication with a friend). I also can't decide if dialogue like Ciel responding to Amaria's suicide attempt by saying that you'll need Waterfall to help her out is meant to be dark humour or tone-deafness.
Conversely, while it's sort of ridiculous, I have enjoyed the abused kids plotline. Sigmund is fun to hate and I like the black absurdity of his ace being the Electivire that performs electroconvulsive therapy on children. Heather and Shelly are a joy, and I like the Belrose girls too. The somewhat sophomoric delivery of 'mature content' often crosses the line into being satisfying in its unselfconscious brazenness, as with Charlotte saying she learnt to love the flames as she stared into the fire that killed her parents in the accident that sent her to Sigmund's electroconvulsive therapy orphanage. As with Amaria, there's authenticity to the more chuunibyou and/or outcaste characters that is perhaps less palpable in the dialogue that attempts to capture urban grit.
2/3
ShellBell !!ZxJq/2n5/dD
>>57695781 I have seen comments on the topic of Amethyst's hang-ups manifesting in Pokémon Reborn’s characters in obtrusive ways. This is a minor issue, but true. I like Cain as he is basically a loyal and kind character if you get past the exaggerated flamer behaviour, but his lewd jokes, often made around child characters, or Amaria's impulsive rhapsodising about Titania's soft skin pass without substantial comment while the writing is given to take a more lecturing tone when it comes to Hardy's apparently sincere affection for Aya. To be clear, I don’t personally care about Cain’s jokes or find them offensive, but there is a strange sexual/moral bias in the work that sometimes makes the writing awkward around characters expressing sexual and romantic desires. Even a basically unpleasant character like Bennett, whose desires could be framed as pathological or insincere since he claims to love Luna while assisting in her capture by El, is treated more the villain simply for wanting her in the first place. Not a big problem but in tandem with Amethyst's hostility to player romance it does seem like she allowed personal neuroses to interfere with the writing. There are relatedly a few occasions when the dialogue feels like a PSA, but it's not too overbearing.
Altogether my impressions are positive. In addition to the solid battling progression, the puzzles are generally clever and inventive too, and there is a high level of polish. Really the principal issue with the writing is just craft. Scenes come off as 'edgy' not because they're misconceived but because everything is just a little clumsy. You can see this in unrelated areas like the dialogue of Florinia and Luna, where the reach of the writing somewhat exceeds its grasp. Grammatical lapses and misuse of words mar characters who are supposed to come off aloof, intellectual, and verbally competent. With all that said, it is a basically compelling adventure. Here are sloppas of Shelly, my favourite character.
FormerlyAshime !vRZhOalgQo
>>57695780 >>57695781 >>57695786 Good read overall. My thoughts are largely based around the true/Anna ending route but should all be applicable to what you're saying since you've not hit any of the major route branches yet.
>I suspected that the raw and melodramatic dialogue was taken from a real relationship with a BPD person This game's entire plot is adapted from events that happened in an irl roleplay community from what I understand, including things like Corey's suicide. Make of that what you will.
>Bennett & Luna Both of these characters are victims of first impressions in opposite ways; Bennett's first impression and relations with Luna is intentionally offputting and he only manages to dig his hole deeper before
making a complete 180 narratively but not ever actually doing anything likable before all the scenes around him get framed as such . Luna on the other hand
burns all of his goodwill in a single scene and the game hardly treats it with the proper gravitas such a scene should carry . Luna is also annoying on a meta level because the character (originally written as a girl) was retconned to be a troon in the final release for no reason other than to satisfy an inclusion checkbox and attempt to paint El in a worse light (which, ironically, had the opposite effect of making him more sympathetic after everything is said and done in the postgame).
>There are relatedly a few occasions when the dialogue feels like a PSA, but it's not too overbearing. haha....can't wait to see if you revise this opinion as you get further and finish all the postgame content. The soapboxing... lets just say it tends to ramp linearly with the game's difficulty.
>Shelly, favorite character Good choice and I think you'll like her endgame/postgame arc a lot.

>>57695055 it took me 2 fucking hours of resets, most likely in the range of 150-200+ tries, literally the only time ive decided to reset against any trainer or puzzle including Dawn (got her to half HP with parafusion fake tears -6 ice beam), to finally get a good line because if eevee or pidg use sand attack ONCE the battle is fucking over, not even mentioning status like leech seed/hypnosis/burn/para he's packing ending your chances, but I swear the -1 accuracy math is rigged or maybe just for this fight but I had to get a specific scenario where Steel Pikachu can tank hits from Eevee to get 1 d-dance for speed boost over Charm and Gyarados then Baneful Bunker stall for poison chip headbutt flinches and dragon rage lethal
I wouldt care so much except I was literally like 35-0 at this point and still agreed to a 1v6 out of gratitude for helping me get back, but the fact that Blue insists on that insane handicap just to bring the cheesiest fucking strats that are pushed over the line of feasible wins due to not being able to swap mindbroke me with seethe so hard the moment I got the win I decided right then and there that I was going to go all in to romance Yellow SOLELY to NTR him as payback

>>57694886 Cramorant never showed up again, albeit apparently this isn't the only case of a frezied Pokemon that's meant to be available not showing up, there's a Bedrill, Hypno and Vespiqueen as well, whom I have no idea how to obtain, I imagine you might need to rush meeting Silver to reach the alley at some point to get one of these.

>There's only female Gardevoir >>57696403 Do you need to have the moves the foreverals boost on them? I sadly didn't have Thundershock on my bros anymore and many of the foreverals bonds I'd need are out of reach for the most part for one reason or another.
FormerlyAshime !vRZhOalgQo
>>57696435 No. The forevervals are tutors as well; they give you the move if you don't already have it, as long as you can afford it. You don't need the mon to hold it to retain this either; holding it is just for the passive effect.

>>57696044 I've been playing organically which at this point means I know I'm not getting the true end as I missed some flags. But if I have a good time with the rest of the game I'll at least check out the true end even if I don't pursue it myself.
I've heard a little about the long character speeches and lesbian melodrama getting more and more questionable in the late game. Well, I'll see what I think, and keep an eye on Bennett and Luna too. For now I just beat Terra, who definitely requires a decent tolerance for tumblr affectations and humour. But as has often been the case with Reborn, it was a great gym challenge regardless: the idea of Gen 1 terrain was good, and the trollish Amnesia strat was both fun to counter and appropriate for the character. Access to Clefairy in the Mt. Moon area was a nice bonus.
>This game's entire plot is adapted from events that happened in an irl roleplay community from what I understand Yeah, I've heard a little about the RP community. It's interesting background, although I'm unlikely to go through Amethyst's whole commentary unless I really take to the game. I was curious about that scene in particular though, and she claims she was in a similar position to Titania at one stage of her life with a BPD partner and Amaria's line about her heart of glass being shattered was something said to her.

>>57696565 >Gen 1 Field This is one of those fields that's fun for exactly the vanilla Terra battle to me and every time it shows up again past it, it tends to mandate building around it which becomes more time consuming the higher the levelcap becomes and the more IVs and EVs increasingly matter especially in the postgame. While you're not on the Anna route, the final boss of the postgame on that route is 3 consecutive fights on the Glitch Field (6v18) with no healing in between, leading off with an Assault Vest Lugia and it only gets worse from there. The non-true ending equivalent to this fight(s) is quite tough as well, but nowhere near as silly in terms of playstyle bottlenecking.
A well made 'generic' team can roll with the punches of almost every field in the game chosen at random except (against an opponent optimized for that field) for this one in most cases unless you're doing something the AI just isn't adequately programmed to handle counterplaying (Trick Room easily clears almost every "hard" fangame for instance).
I'm curious to hear your thoughts as you get towards the end of the main story and which story branches you take.

both connected to each other , just one is impossible to get through a blind playthrough. Since you're doing one, we'll spare you the overall details and let you form your own conclusions.
Overall the Reborn "trilogy" is good as far as game mechanics are concern (namely, the environment gimmick where the battle field can be used to ones advantage). If you are planning on doing the other two afterwords (Rejuvenation and Desolation), I'm sure you'll have as much of a fun time as we do.

>>57696735 Calem wants to distance himself from everyone and Serena won't let him, you'd think the awkwardness would fade eventually, but it just keeps getting worse.

>>57696767 It's really not that bad dude, we played way worse garbage like Sors and a few Emerald hacks that were so shit that they make Odyssey seem godly by comparison. It's a charming hack that sets out to be an Etrian Odyssey reference and does just that.

I hate, HATE that the game is forcing me to play nice with this filthy glownigger.
>>57696817 Thanks, but I got my ass kicked, Pancake did nothing, barely managed to take down the Eevee and went out like a chump soon after and I trained the fuck. Also foreverals are bugged for me, they are not working no matter what I do, and believe me I've already tried everything to make them work.

The flip side of this line of rhetoric is that anonymity reveals honesty. What people say when there's other power dynamics at play isn't necessarily what they think or believe. Using Grusha as a mouthpiece for this take was certainly cheeky; I'll give dev-kun that.
