>>23792 thanks bro

after going east from the 6th gym town and getting strength, you have the choice of either taking a very long route through another town to reach the 7th gym town, or enter Brutal Cave. it's not super brutal, it's just dark because I think you skip getting Flash if you go this way. so fucking worth it though

>Get pissed off with Empire >Decide to play TF2 for a bit >For some bizarre reason Valve put me in a South American server in Chile >Said server was infested with sharteens >Mfw I witness firsthand the largely prevailing theory of the sharty being full of brown latinx getting confirmed in real time

dark type gym. it took two tries because the final pokemon just spammed a move called spook, it raises the opposing pokemon's speed and evasiveness but lowers there attack and defense. what this turned into was no damage being dealt by both sides, it was torture, so I reset.

>>23796 GG. From seeing yours and Wagie's playthrough, this game seems to have an unhealthy obsession with evasion cancer.

>>23778 >>23786 >>23791 >>23796 gg, this sounds like some genuine kaizo torture. >>23795 C-Chile is white! WHITE!

spirit tower is very cool. I much prefer something like this over unbreakable ties' banette mansion. >>23797 thanks bros

so you get to the third cosmic guardian location, and you're too late again. to add onto it, you're now officially a most wanted criminal of the entire region, and you have to escape the police and team planetary. You do so with the help of looker, who has known the evil nature of team planetary all along.

>said i'm going to start earlier >got busy with shit all day I guess not kek. I'll try again tomorrow >>23799 >>23796 >>23791 >>23786 GG >I think that previous section in the den of mega evolution completely turned me around on the game if that's how long it took for you that's not a great sign for me, haha.. sorry to make you suffer alone bunken, i will try to not be lazy tomorrow >>23754 also GG and thanks bros. >>23797 yeah, I'm not seeing how much Bunken is mentioning it but this game is very irritating with evasionshit. there's a lot of minimize/double team spammers and then they also use confuse ray and other shit too. I'm trying to avoid spoilers from bunken's progress too kek

>>23801 thanks bro. it's so bad man, if you actually dodged my spoilers you won't believe it when you see it. It almost feels like a betrayal from the dev, kek. yeah the evasion/accuracyshit is annoying as hell

>>23802 i just saw some shit about mega evolution and dipped out. i assume it's going to be so much worse for me since i think i saw a lucario and i'm rocking dark types

>>23803 haha..

>the deoyxs rocket, the only rocket to fail in the history of the world, was an inside job say it ain't so!

stopping here for the night, this (hopefully) final dungeon is just so long. victory road better be short

>>23798 H-haha..... >>23801 Thanks bro and it's sad to see the game is going down this route, and especially seeing how oddly autistic the dev turned out to be.

we say that AI throws alot, whether it's a bad ai partner or if the enemy clicks a stupid move. This is beyond throwing, this is helping. the lead pokemon just spammed this move, which raises my speed and evasiveness, like 3 times. sure I lose defense but they never hit me other then one toxic. All of this dev complaining about how modern pokemon is too easy, but this is one of the easiest fights of the whole year

>>23808 gg, i don't understand why the dev decided making a "metagame" centered around evasion spam was the winning idea. literally nobody likes evasion shit, its doesn't really require any real strategy, just makes the battles even more rng-dependent in an already rng-heavy game. that, on top of encouraging the player to do so is such a baffling game mechanics decision choice.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iI9ThkzE1rQ&list=RDiI9ThkzE1rQ&start_radio=1 Not sure if I'll still mess with it more, but THE KING HAS RETURNED. >>23808 GG. >Modern Pokemon is too easy In fairness ZA had some pretty hard fights like Mega Tyranitar and Dragonite, but then again bosses nuking the entire fucking arena with pretty much 0 counterplay tends to be utter bullcrap. Tarragon's Mega Excadrill is terrifying, the issue is the poor old geezer's team is pretty shit besides his ace and Hippowdon. Leave it to fangame devs to lack any understanding of the things they're complaining about.

>>23809 >>23810 thanks bros. idk what he's thinking either, it makes the opposing pokemon do next to no damage if they're physical but they can't be hit by most moves, it just drags everything out, unless of course you're a special attacker in which case it's a free win

I killed the sun and blew up a giant mech let's end this shit already

I didn't think I would ever play kaizo galaga, and I never want to again

>>23812 GG and congrats I think. >>23813 >Forcing dogshit minigames on the player to progress the story For fuck's sake........

>>23814 thanks bro. the dev tried to get me to hate galaga, and he tried hard

the final gym is steel type. I am ready for this game to stop, but victory road looks very long

I think all of victory road and the 3 attempts on this fight that was right outside the e4 door took an hour and a half. once I went back and deleted every HM move off the team and put new moves on it was much easier. even game freak moved on from hms

I forgot to screenshot the second one, it was fire type the 4th one was the hardest one. hopefully I'm at the end

This game is held back by it's creators insistence on abiding by a ruleset they broke in the first minute. Their obsession with making a pokemon fangame "that could be an official game" is an excuse to ignore the easily fixable parts of this game that cause the player unnecessary annoyance and frustration. not putting in speed-up is one thing, designing sections that are full of backtracking and trial and error that beg for speed-up is another. speed-up is like having access to the dev console in skyrim; you get completely stuck in some random part of the wall? that's kinda funny, let me just noclip out and keep going. oh this pokemon section kind of sucks or I gotta backtrack? oh well, let me speed-up. If they made areas that weren't like that, something I think zirconium did very well, this wouldn't be an issue. But holy shit is the game full of shit like that. The entire game is as slow as gen 4, and there are numerous times where the objective is "you're stuck, wander aimlessly in this cave with a high encounter rate and just pray you find the fucking exit." Not to mention the longer gym puzzles, the long routes, the game bugging out and making me bike across the fucking entire region because fly just didn't want to work just yet. You want to use HMs, that's fine, but even game freak has moved on to shit like poke riders. But no, you gotta pretty much have every HM on you at all times until you reach the league building, and there's one move deleter in the whole game anyway. The dev says that they don't want to add new features based on "speculation" of what game freak "could" do in the future, as that would be a stretch, but he also gave all pokemon two active abilities from the get go, which as far as I know hasn't happened yet. I also am not sure game freak would include anything about nuclear energy or power, or have you straight up fight the sun in space. Not sure, could be a stretch. Oh and the gameplay is not good. Evasion/accuracyshit, lots of trainers with 3 or 4 of the same mon, light is a shitty fake type, etc. I think even if you caught 5 pokemon on route 1 and never changed them out the entire game you would still have to grind. And I don't know where you would grind, there's an exp drought. If you want the basic exp share, you need to find 25 of the shard collectible. That's at least past the third gym, I just don't know what the fuck the dev expects you to do, wild pokemon don't give out shit, there are only so many trainers, it's baffling. You could convince me the dev never playtested the game. I'm putting this only right above OWD, it's within spitting distance.

>>23816 >>23817 >>23818 >>23819 GG and congrats. I was not expecting this game to turn into such a piece of shit. Reminds me of the frustration I was having with Shitstones and to a slightly lesser degree Empyrean, where the game feels horribly clunky in the worst ways possible and just has the most miserable fight design imaginable.

>>23820 thanks bro. I also wasn't expecting for it to turn out like this. the start is charming and nice, but it goes sour pretty quickly. like with shitstones it's a problem with the core foundation of the game, so I just don't expect it to change

so we got the titan remake that is apparently going to be out early 2026, this legends KANTOOOOOOOOOOO is coming out early 2026 as well. >deoyxs clones I've beaten rejuv once and I see it everywhere

>>23822 I'm not sure how interested I am in Titan given how schizophrenic the story seems to be. Legends KAAAAAAAAAAAN- I mean Mew sounds like just a reskin, I hope that's not the case. I like UT a lot, but I really hate the character jump sections and would rather stick to the MC if possible. Not helped by the Rejuvenation induced mental anguish h-haha......

>>23823 I think legends mew is adding in the other stuff, like how catching works. it's also made in unity, which will be weird. it could be interesting if titan is where his obsession with weird alien shit started. the character switching would be less awful if it weren't so often.

>I just realized Titan's plot with an antagonist who hates Pokemon and envies their power once again is something we've seen in Rejuvenation AAAAAAAAAAAIIIIIIIIIIIIIEEEEEEEEEEEE, GET OUT OF MY HEAD, GET OUT OF MY HEAD, GET OUT OF MY HEAD!!!!!!!!! >>23824 Hopefully Legends Mew is at least interesting, I'm always very weary of games that go with "le hecking retro" graphics for seemingly no reason. Yeah, Titan seems like it has Arceus as the main god, as it normally should, I just think the story already sounds extremely schizophrenic and not in a fun way. Yeah, the sections with Eda and Darek also tended to suck a massive amount of dicks in UT, which makes me even more worried about this.

New thread soon? This one's getting bloated. >>23819 GG and good read. Shame the dev's own stick up their ass ruined what might've been an otherwise salvageable experience.

>>23826 thanks bro. the reason for it as well is strange, normally when a dev hates speed-up it's because they want to force people to see their story, but this one is trying to make an "authentic" experience to the point of ruining the game. I could make one if no one else wants to
