what game has the best fakemon regional forms
Orevald !!uFy26nWSF72
>>57705701 There's a limit for how much complete and utter shit people can take before they become tired of it, I'm typically the one who always gives early on games I don't feel interested in or games that seriously piss me off so I don't really have that excuse, but it's not enough these games are so bad that they're insulting, their gameplay is extremely shit too, OWD had several softlock bugs, the mapping was terrible, the progression sucked, literally nothing made sense throughout the game, I had to give up on in because the game softlocked somehow and refused to work no matter what I tried and I wasn't gonna use RPGMaker to fix a game I was already sick of dealing with. You will see shit games eventually, we always stumble onto them one way or another.
>>57705733 Tough to say, despite all my grievances with Z, I thought all the regionals besides 2 of the starters looked fantastic. Rejuvenation's regionals are pretty cool, shame the game doesn't let you use 80% of them until right near the end, there was another fangame with fairly good regionals, but I can't for the life of me recall it's name right now.

I don't like how many otherwise viable decks Glad Beast suffocates out of the format either, even if they themselves aren't top-tier in Edison.

>>57706301 You can have fun in the format, if you actually like the game. I don't enjoy the unbreakable board 10 minute solitaire.dek turns of modern day yugioh. XYZ was pretty tight at least early on before they got powercrept by the end of their era (think lavalval chain and utopia, like how stardust and black rose felt at the beginning of the synchro era). But everything after XYZ has been trash. Master rule 5 was trash.
Sure there is definitely tiers to decks in edison, but I feel like a lot more decks are seen in edison play than any modern yugioh. Go on masterduel and you'll play the same 30 tier 1-0 decks with your own tier 1-0 deck. It's just tiresome. I preferred the slightly slower pace of 2010-2015 yugioh and at least during my time going to locals back then everyone seemed to have unique and interesting decks and whenever I hop on dueling book for edison I see a lot of unique stuff too.

>>57706368 My point wasn't that tiers are bad; tiers are an inherent part of competition and a statistical inevitability. My point was that Edison's mid-high tiers either gatekeep too much (Glad Beast) or, more subjectively, just aren't interesting to play with or against (Blackwings). A top tier deck's (or the entire top tier bracket)'s health for the game isn't necessarily dependent on just winrate.
>Go on masterduel That's unfortunately the problem; I personally see master duel as a caricature of modern YGO; worse than both the OCG and TCG formats in most regards. My (standard) locals is one of the most competitive ones in my area and there's been a fair bit of innovation there lately alongside the usual meta. I personally don't find Ryzeal annoying to play against after a year of Snake Eye, but I suppose everything looks better after a year of Snake Eye being mostly a compare opening hands format kek.

True, I interpret it as people having trouble understanding the nature of the MC's power, it's clearly psychic and soul related as with every empath in media, but they can't quite put parameters on it, stranger still is that Will whom felt the MC's latent power later called him a non-psychic, which is just odd.

Sabrina's event even tells you there's an esper colony somewhere on Mt. Silver, which would fit very thematically as a reason why Red would ever go there to begin with. Tying Red's empath powers to being an extremely rare yet low-level, instinctive power rather than something that can be controlled outright might serve as a way that would distinguish him from being a true esper as well, if the writers optimised their lore.

>>57706628 No, that would still make sense if his empath powers were low-level, always on, like I suggested. If we were to take Miriam's statement, we can then deduct the "not already hypnotised" from the equation and say Red's immunity to hypnosis means that he's always under a psychic effect. It would then follow that his empath powers are that psychic effect. But then again, I'm just some guy on an anonymous Laotian basket-weaving forum trying to make sense of a plot point that hasn't been consistently handled thus far.

>>57706669 Oof.
>>57706673 The MC was demonstrably tired for the first times he was in a room full of people, like his empath powers were costing him and tiring him out. So in a sense I assume it's a passive power like Sabrina's that can't quite be controlled.
Obviously much weaker and with different applications, but still similar in a way.

>Shit I liked Great characterization with the author able to seamlessly transition between numerous writing styles depending on the scene, tone, and cast involved. Cheren and Melody are great love-to-hate characters and a refreshing breath of fresh air after a deluge of poorly written antagonists in other fangames. Great selection of starters. Good music choices overall. Good presentation, use of silence, changing text speed mid-line, and sprite choreography to convey emotion effectively. Technical marvel of a game. This was made in goddamn renpy. A lot of what's going on is left in the subtext for the player to deduce. I love this, but if you're speedreading or otherwise not actively engaging with it, a lot of the stuff around the forest will likely seem like it came out of nowhere. Extremely high attention to detail; the game remembers minor actions and choices you made for a very long time and they are referenced often when you least expect it. Sovl>Stuff worth talking about VN format and extremely text heavy. If being a VN isn't an immediate dealbreaker, the game makes sure the payoffs are worth your time. Easy-medium difficulty. Player can get extremely powerful very quickly depending on choices made. Extremely long buildup to payoffs make it all the sweeter when they happen, but the game spends quite some time dragging its heels pretending to be a slice of life before tipping its hand. There's very little to no dating and only one sexo scene. If you came to coom, look elsewhere but the game still stands strong on its own merits.>Shit I didn't like When the writing drops the ball, it tends to drop it hard. Lance's first two scenes are really bad, but the subsequent scenes get a bit better. While the starting mon selection is great, the early wild mon selection is not until you get access to the Inspira City wild zones. Red is way too eager to remind the player he likes dick at awkward times. Calem stop Chrisposting and stick your dick in Serena.

>>57707537 >Final Thoughts This is one of the best games we've played in these threads in quite a while. I'm unsure exactly where my final placement of it would be and it's hard to place it on the same pedestal as Unbreakable Ties or Reminiscencia because of how different a format it is; it feels like an apples to oranges comparison to me, but damn this is a good orange. If you're looking for an apple, you're probably better off eating an apple, but if you're sticking your hand into a metaphorical fangame grab-bag of fruit and randomly grabbing one, this is a great thing to pull out.

>I'm still waiting for a thumbs up/thumbs down on whether the story or character building in the game is any good. Solid thumbs up on characters, no contest. I'll give a tentative thumbs up on the overall plot since this game plays an extremely long game with the major plot points, but for each one the payoff has hit for so far, they've been winners (Weeks 4&5).
The way this game's handling the sheer size of its cast is that there seems to be an overarching main story developing along with sub-stories for each related group of cast members which drastically narrows down the number of branches the writer needs to account for. Whether or not these will all stay self-contained "sidequests" or eventually reconverge at the end of the game remains to be seen.

How're you enjoying grand dream shitty so far?
Bunken !!O3Z0J+BO1kU
>>57708028 >>57708035 thanks bros. I really enjoyed it for the most part. The writing is great most of the time, music choices are good with some peak choices for important scenes, the battle system is good enough to where I didn't know it was juryrigged in a visual novel specific engine. The only issue is it feels like you either really want to have dual-types to narrow down your electives to 2 or 3 classes or just catch an overpowered frenzied mon. that alohan ninetails I caught carried the team for the entire rest of the game with snow warning+aurora veil+nasty plot into sweep. I like a good number of the characters, leaf and silver being some of my favorites, but I really don't care for the new ones that just showed up. melody actually saying "I don't plan, I ruin" is what I expect to see in lower tiered fangames. klara apparently being a character that's been there the whole time like with yellow is dumb, and I hate any character in fiction that solely exists to get in the way of established relationships, but at least in this one I do have the option of telling her to fuck off (kind of). I hope in the future the game lets me completely ignore trying to get the coordinator scholarship, I just don't care about that shit. The MiB memory wipe ending to the esper rescue arc wasn't great either. Those are the only real lows that still stick out to me. There are way more highs in this game though, like the entirety of the initial student council crashout and rescue, pikachu doing the liberate thing, blue trying to punch deoyxs to death, the ferris wheel, etc. even the smaller things, silver's event, the positive moments of blue and yellow's relationship, kris going ape over oak's terrible teaching methods, the list goes on. It was overall an enjoyable rollercoaster of emotions, and I really hope it doesn't become vaporware.

The new dev got permission to resurrect the game and posted the first version of PALF along with the faithfully recreated Pokémon battling in 2023 and all Weeks past Week 1 were made by him in the past two years.

Being only one of the observers I obviously don't know how far they take it, but I don't find it surprising that a game that considers
killing Bianca's father acceptable for drama would let that attitude evolve into something unfortunate. That said it would be funny to see what a lighter-hearted take on her would look like in this setting, she'd probably say a lot really silly stuff.

>>57708996 Yeah, she's always been a bit vain, but like I said a few times, in gen 2 and especially Soul Silver, she showed a pretty kind and considering side to her, she was a ditz, absolutely, but she wasn't manipulative, just overly emotional. I think it hurts because I always thought Whitney was pretty cute when I was a kid and I just find it odd how for the lack of a better word, how toxic she is to pretty much everyone around her, her two friendship events did not reasure me on her improving, she just doubles down on it again and again and it's miserable to watch.
>>57709034 Yeah, that's a really good summation of how she acts in this game, even her friendship with Flannery is entirely built on her exploiting her, she's also a very invasive dyke who's trying to get it on with Flannery inspire of the fiery redhead being as straight as an arrow.

>>57709087 Good old brain filtered the typos, no worries. I understand, you think a fairly background character you like is getting a rare shot in a dense fan project like this and it did NOT go the way you wanted.

>>57709230 Pretty much, but I'm also a stickler for the canon in an universe always being upheld somewhat.
>>57709237 That honestly sounds like a really interesting plot for a game.
>>57709255 The saddest part is tha the art is one of the least offensive things about this atrocity. What's weirder is the most worked on sprite in the game is of a literal tranny corpse creature with a gaping axe wound, this "game" is literal schizophrenia.

Probably calling it a night, what events did you lads choose? I really want to make up to Dawn in some way and despite my previous want of comforting Bianca, she's clearly nearing a snap and Cheren is just making things worse every second, this is a painful choice.

Reached Titania's gym in Reborn, but haven't fought her yet. Some thoughts: I loved the section with Taka in Tourmaline. It felt like an old 2D JRPG where you're dumped in a new place to explore and figure out progression. Stumbling upon Sugiline Cave was great and I liked Taka's commentary as I fought the statues, found Stone Edge, and caught a Gible. I assume I would've missed this dialogue had I come alone. This shores up my impression of Reborn as being great for general JRPG players craving the integration of Pokémon with more typical JRPG story structure and more demanding fights. On the topic of exploration, I also liked searching through the underwater ruins in the lake in the rebuilt Reborn City. On a more mixed note, I'm not sure how I feel about Adrienn coming out of nowhere to fix the city after having only exchanged a few words. I feel it would've been more satisfying had it been established characters like Julia, Florinia, and Victoria. This is partly because Adrienn is a pretty boring character: too conventional to feel 'Fairy'-like, which at its best isn't just cute but a little strange, like Gen VI Valerie claiming to be a Pokémon. Fairies are nature and myth on the margins of society; even a cute mon like Primarina sings because it's based on sirens. Luna also displayed a somewhat off interpretation of Dark type as absence of light rather than underhanded and criminal. It's not a big issue since fangames can explore alternative interpretations, but I feel that in regular Pokémon, Luna would be Fairy type and the community-minded Adrienn would be Normal type. As the Garchomp area suggest, more high-powered options have opened up. I grabbed Corey's Mareanie, one of my favourite mons—very helpful against Adrienn. Since I liked how Shelly names her Pokémon after her friends, I named a Venomoth Shelly and used it to sink Ciel's Mega Altaria, which was a satisfying strategy. Anticipating a difficulty spike soon: maybe it'll be with Titania.

>>57709950 So far I'm guessing Titania's gym is based around her 'fairy tale romance' with Amaria, with her as the co-dependant 'knight' who protects/enables her BPD partner. As with earlier dialogue, it shows a pretty remarkable familiarity with the way those kinds of relationships function. That choice is interesting to me because I once read a book on borderline mothers that framed the relationships they form in terms of fairy tale archetypes, with some partners taking on the Titania-like role of an avoidant 'Huntsman' preoccupied with doing his/her duty and being honourable, walking on eggshells to 'protect' their unstable partner and avoid triggering emotional breakdowns and suicide threats, becoming stoic while tolerating and enabling abusive behavior.
