GG on all the stuff I missed.
Wind knocked out my internet antenna and I spend nearly a whole day without much to do. Got a bit frustrated with trying to catch Motherfuck in Clover and decided to try PALF's old beta, holy shit it was wild.
>Instead of Silver talking to you at the start, it's a hot ace trainer OC that looked like she would have plot relevance later
>Weirdly enough she sorta acts like Melody except less bitchy, she even has some of the mannerisms down like chewing bubblegum all the time
>You can pick 1 of 4 roommates
>ONE OF WHICH IS CHEREN AND HE'S NOT A COMPLETE ASSHOLE AND IT EVEN COMPLIMENTS YOU FOR HELPING HIM, THIS FEELS SO FUCKING WEIRD
>Shauna is one of your friends, albeit it might just be if you dorm with Calem, which I did
>She's fucking adorable, she's hyper like Bianca, except unlike with Bianca, she has no off button, can't believe I'm saying this considering she's literally la creatura, but assuming she made it into PALF's current version with the exact same personality (and a better sprite, holy fuck her current one is really bad), I'd very likely focus on dating her
>Bianca is a ditz and a bit of a dumbass, with Cheren often having to correct her mistakes
>Mfw Tierno and the Kalosian friend group are not only extremely based but they outright call how fishy the Janine battle was, with her opponent playing like an idiot
>They don't run away when Lance scolds you, and Tierno even comforts you by saying who gives a shit what Lance thinks
>Lance is not as old as I assume he is the current version, his relationship with Janine isn't elaborated upon and he's a fucking manlett, literally Bejita
>RED STANDS UP TO LANCE AND TELLS HIM TO EAT SHIT
>SKYLA WAS IN PSYCHIC CLASSES TOO, WHY MUST THE WORLD BE SO CRUEL?!
>PALF's old plot sounded a lot like gen 9's weirdly enough with Team Star, it was also heavily hinted the school's old board was led by Giovanni
>Sabrina is still around but almost never talks
>Red doesn't have Frienergy, but is a Pokemon whisperer instead, as in he talks to Pokemon and understands them, it's also kinda subtly hinted he might have psychic powers
>Pikachu gets called mediocre instead of complete shit
>Red's talent isn't the only thing that gets Janine's attention
>She's impressed by his *ahem* CHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRMAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAANNNNNNNNNNNDEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEERRRRRRRRRRRR from KAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAANTOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
It's a damn shame the beta ended so quickly and with how it died so soon, this project was extremely ambitious , way too ambitious in fact, but I love the sheer amount of presentation and effort that was put into it's demo, I had a fucking blast, every second was amazing, the battle system was around but it was extremely rudimentary, you could also only choose 2 electives, and you had to choose the order you took them in, also, YOU HAD TIMED TESTS FOR THESE, granted mostly were piss easy, like just remembering basic info about Pokemon, but what I find really cool is that passing tests granted you Knowledge every time you passed them, that's so cool and I don't know why they removed this.
Oh and one last thing, NO HOMOLUST, NO FAGGOTRY, Red nearly spills spaguetti when he sees May and Serena for the first time, he's also way more of a very polite Japanese school boy type, actually the way he acts is really endearing, I don't understand why the current PALF devs changed it, they said he acted like way too much of a stupid country boy in the demo, but like, not really, in fact he was more studious and hardworking, even putting a lot of effort into helping Serena, Cheren and Calem into getting into the student council.
Calem and Serena's relationship is even more awkward too, Calem can't stand to be around her and it's very clear something went wrong between the two.
A few students are also different, instead of Rosa you get Korrina, instead of Nate, you get Clemont, I find it odd how Kalosian the cast was, and oddly it felt way more interesting, like every character had a way more interesting deal. Even Whitney was actually kind of adorable, albeit I don't know if she had the whole dyke thing going on then either.

Faggots are arguing if Battle Bond Greninja will be able to Mega Evolve, it sounds pretty broken if it does become the case, issue is Mega Greninja seems really weak compared to the utter bullshit powercreeep we've had recently, it's fast as fuck though.
