>>11452 thanks bro not sure why there's a drunken niglet running around illyria after arthur is beaten, must have escaped the pens

>Acts like a total faggot and a massive pussy >Was groomed Checks out.

apparently you can rob the store kek

First try, still fairly tough due to me removing the ev investment in most of my mons after the Arthur fight. The fox witch and DuGODDESS pulled through really hard for me. >>11456 You can steal a bunch of shit, in some places you can get away with it without no one noticing, I remember the biker shop in Polaris has a bunch of decently valuable items you can nab with few repercussions besides losing points with Elise.

thank you ESLtrius added by the modder, very cool >game freezes right after this holy FUARK....we've finally found someone who surpasses octavius himself in coding ability...

>>11458 meant to add the rest of these >>11457 GG

>>11457 gg

R8/10 as is tradition. She clearly belongs to Soyren thobeit. Cleared it first try too. >Still had 3 mons up when pushed down to a 1v2 You hate to see it. >Forgot to hit record Fuck. It probably wouldn't be too hard to do it again for footage but I don't think it'd be that interesting of a watch either. Rotom's Electroweb came in clutch several times doe. >>11450 >Geegee. I recommend taking out a loan for healing from Mr. de Berg. My team is robust enough at level 37-40 to only really need to be topped off by a few potions and ethers, thankfully. >>11451 Thanks bro and GG as well. I like Enchanted a lot. The changes to Freeze are also very sensible, even if they're similar to Frostbite with a bit of Para thrown in for flavor.

>>11461 GG as well. I forgot beating Arthur raises the level cap like that which makes her a lot more manageable

>>11457 GG bro. >>11462 Giving Rotom Volt Switch was probably just as impactful as the level spike as it lets Rotom 1-2 punch Keldeo with Web+Volt and dodge the ghost/dark move aimed at his slot while removing the single mon Soyren's team cannot deal with.

>>11461 gg

>Quinn is jealous of the player now I'm entirely sure this is new and fucking hilarious, albeit her thinking I'd ever even remotely consider Soren a friend or dear fuck forbid, a romantic interest fucking disgusts me. >>11459 >>11460 >>11461 >>11463 Thanks bros and GG Ashime. >She clearly belongs to Soyren H-haha......considering how much traffic has been through her legs......... Literally groomed/10. I wished frostbite replaced freeze once and for all.

>>11462 >>11464 >>11465 Thanks bros.

I'm not going to screenshot too much of the early city and am probably hopping off in a bit, Ashime really needs to experience most of this by himself. This is probably the single chuddiest and most openly unhinged area in the game (though don't worry, it doesn't go down that much) I'll try and do sidequests for now

>The first competent character in the game Wild. >>11467 Can't wait, kek.

>The mod dev niggered the dialogue portraits here ONE JOB. ONE. SINGULAR. FUCKING. JOB.

thankfully one of the easier sidequests to start just requires interacting with any TV and you get to meet actual best girl in this game

I can't help but read this another way given the large 'cord presence this game has and how it's very clear Octavius carefully toes the line with the amount of chuddiness he thinks he can get away with.

>>11471 > Octavius carefully toes the line with the amount of chuddiness he thinks he can get away with. AHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAAHA

That nose is gigantic.

>>11471 >Octavius carefully toeing the line HAHAHAHAAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!

>>11472 This whole powerplant scene was one Arthur speech about women in positions of high responsibility having to make snap decisions with lives on the line away from getting canceled by the 'cord. How much chuddier can it get?

>>11475 oh man, you are going to love chapter 5

>>11475 >How much chuddier can it get? Unironically TND

Nigga I won. What do you mean?

looking spiffy, weird fucking advertising campaign though

After the gauntlet and talking with Morgan, you can go back to the factory to get this. Of course you can't choose them all, in any sane game, beating Arthur and Quinn would get you all three items.

Mask slipping.

kek

UMMMMM... Bro get the fuck out of this region you failed in the last one you tried

>>11483 This game really does have a lot of the same unhinged schizophrenia DNA as Empyrean, now that you mention it. Empyrean was just more on the /x/ side of the /xpol/ spectrum.

>>11484 FUCKING LMAO!

>>11480 I'm getting decision paralysis between Cloud Incense and V Drive >>11484 Certified gemerald.

>>11487 V Drive is helpful considering this game's...analogue for PULSE fights that will crop up later Cloud Incense is probably more useful generally though

I'm having a hard time choosing here, Psychic types can kinda abuse the first item due to generally lacking resistances. The second item is bleh and the V Drive is amazing for killing GRDs. >>11487 Same, and you don't get these later I'm pretty sure, which sucks. I usually I always went with V Drive, but I'm leanings towards the cloud this time 'round.

Finally found the offending piece of shitcode I just removed the && self.extramove.id=0 part and it works fine, why the fuck did he even add a check for paragon moves anyway >>11458 >We're now another part of the human centiskorch grim >>11484 >Whole religion of Sturdy + Metal BurstCHADS They better watch out, there's looots of trannies that try xer damndest erase their religion

>>11488 I was leaning towards V Drive anyway so I have a reason to justify using NFE Pseudos or pre-evolved Legends past their natural expiration date in terms of power curve. Knowing there's Pulse-likes later on seals it. >Fuck Alanah early, take V-Drive The jokes write themselves too. >>11490 >why the fuck did he even add a check for paragon moves anyway I have a suspicion that the extra move implementation is held together with chewing gum. See if it crashes if you have nothing in your extra move slot when you use it.

So the USB you get from the infamous hacker 4chan actually has a use outside of the event too. Considering how incompetent the modder is, I have to wonder if this even works? >>11490 Where is this located? Is it movedata? Also best of luck for Quinn assuming you're still facing her. Fighting and especially Bug types are awful for her fight from personal experience.

why is it that there's no normal trainers around anywhere you can just get to the new level cap to >last time I was on this field I did really well thanks to fighting type CHADS being able to take advantage of it >now I'm getting my ass kicked by all the darkniggers with buffed sucker punch and night slash may have to redo the tier list, haha.. >>11490 ah shit, I meant to help you with that before I got distracted with modder ESLtrius making me lose my shit, that's my bad kek >xer damndest erase their religion kek >yang still hasn't updated so there are probably yakubists dominating that game as we speak baste

I really wished this armor was easier to craft, there's definitely some really fun stuff it enables, crafting silver ingots is a pain in the ass despite it not looking like it. I don't get the point of crafting mechanics if barely any thought is put into them. >>11493 Are you the Ring? Torkoal is really good in it with the elastic putty and I think Flash Fire? I don't recall which ability blocks crits.

>>>>>>>>>>>>> >>11493 >why is it that there's no normal trainers around anywhere you can just get to the new level cap to Did all the grinding trainers ACK after Chap 4?

>>11494 in the Ring * fuck my brain is not working anymore.

>>11494 nah, it's just the starless streets, that buffs dark moves. the ring actually won't be bad because i have ghost and poison shit >torkoal i guess...i wanted to use mostly fakemon, but if this keeps up i may not have the choice. chapter 5 gives me a lot of stuff, but it requires more progress in the chapter that means I'll have to go find a lesbian dunsparce, haha.. >>11495 yeah, pretty much. from now on, every trainer is a miniboss. hope your team doesn't suck for the fields like mine does at the moment

>>11491 That'd involve me getting to the move deleter, and I'm currently locked in Quinn's rape dungeon until I actually give some serious attempts tomorrow kek >>11492 It's in PokeBattle_Battler >>11493 haha... >there are probably yakubists dominating that game as we speak And may the lord Yakub continue his reign, Amen

>Asking about Virgil and Cheyenne doesn't lead to anything >No extra points in anything, doesn't seem to enable any switches for later either Lame as shit. >>11497 Ah, noted and oof. >Spoiler H-haha......chuddie, xer is a beautiful thing, are you gonna tell me you can't identify the beautiful majesty of xer interpretive dancing? >>11498 Thanks bro.

He's correct but he makes it sound so incredibly gay. >>11498 Good luck. I saw Electivire use Brutal Swing; that probably exists just to proc Keldeo's Justified, so be careful of that kek. >>11497 If your dualtypes are fake/mon, try Tesliger; he's been incredible for me.

Rotom having a front-shiny sprite but not a rear one irrationally offends me. How were they so lazy they half implemented an individual mon that had a functional default implementation in base essentials?

>>11500 yeah, that thing was ripping me a new one during landofag's fight. at this rate, maybe I should abandon my dualtype and just go full fakemon. but, eh, i'm retarded, stacking two challenges at once is more 'fun' how's everyone's team looking anyway? at the very least this game doesn't skimp on giving the player choice in that department

The niggas with another 12 or so in rotation in my PC, not counting the hyper specialized anti-arthur team I'm realistically not using those anymore unless the game pulls that shit again.

Ah, I see what Wagie and Bunken meant, dear gods.

UHHHHHH i'm out, i don't like the colors here >>11504 very based team, especially wendraugr and rotom

The more I play, I really like two particular aspects of Octavius' system rebalance. The big one is that defensive type coverage is a bit more rounded out and I can put two ice types on my team and not feel like I'm sabotaging myself nor feeling compelled to go all-in on the hail/snowscape mean to justify my choice. The second thing is that overall move power is lower across the board. Most of the "good moves" so far seem to be around 60-80 BP which feels a lot more like Gen 3 where Brick Break and Aerial Ace were still okay options for pure damage (assuming you couldn't get HP Flying), except it's applied a lot more evenly across the board instead of the usual gamefreak pattern of some types are always more equal than others in terms of move quality and distribution. Not every change has been for the better, but I feel the overall totality of the core system changes have been either good or interesting enough to be enjoyable even if they're flawed. That only applies to the core system changes thobeit; the field effects in this game are some unbridled dogshit just skimming through the documentation. >>11506 Thanks bro. I ultimately settled on Rotom+Rhydon as my core after a lot of shuffling around other electric, rock and ground types as you can see in my PC.

Team looks like this right now, Sandslash, Ferroseed, Delphox and DuGODDESS have been long time members since chapter 1, Lairon sees occasion scuffles too, then there's Scyther and Duraludon who are new members and are putting in a lot of work. >>11506 This is the Royale bunker, you can talk to an NPC here to get some pretty good items, one item he needs for trades is the dynastic vestige you can get behind the secret passage. I think he gives you some TMs, a Mega Stone for something and a few other items, there's a lot of variables related to this quest, you can also meet Quinn here once or twice.

>>11508 Good picks. Did I miss Fennekin or Duraludon?

>>11509 Thanks bro. Fennekin despite still not being good is locked to chapter 10 behind a bullshit RNG event, I spawned it as a secondary starter. Duraludon was a random roulette pick between a few Pokemon I like that fit my dualtype I spawned via debug due to the mystery egg being jeet coded and crashing my game when I tried getting the two Pokemon I could actually use from said mystery egg. I don't remember if Duraludon is even available at all.

>>11510 Ah okay.

How do you get in?

>>11508 huh. the way you're talking about it sounds like it's a basegame thing, had no idea actually a use for the dynastic vestige, what a concept >team very niceu and based STACYtrio. any plans to incorporate more psychics or just going to be rocking mostly CHADeel types? >>11507 one thing I believe the modder might have done is that he reverted a lot of moves that in the basegame are 85-90% accurate which was probably overall the worst part of empire's 'rebalancing', it's not an issue that's coming up as often this playthrough (at least for me personally), may be making it overall much more manageable >>11512 not there, he lives in one of the houses in polaris pass

Oh no, I just remembered, Duraludon is locked to chapter 9 behind an UTTERLY FUCKING DOGSHIT EVENT THAT CAN SOFTLOCK THE PLAYER LATER TWICE. >>11513 It's a really new event, I found it by making a ton of secret hunting during my last playthrough. Thanks bro, Meowtism as usual is an invaluable bro for a ton of fights, the issue is Octavius gutted a lot of the options the autistic cat gets, Wendifr has been fairly helpful during a few fights and Noctowl seems plenty of use too, Malamar is good but Contrary is literally useless on it and it's move options aren't the greatest as it is. I'm very much planning on spawning the evolution item to get Metagross at level 45, I might use Alphanonymus a bit too when I get it since I wanted to try it for once and it does look interesting.

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Author's Wheel I take back everything I've ever said about OH MY ARCEUS.

What do you do after you learn the password "Servine"? I checked the Servine Saloon and nothing seemed to happen.

>>11516 it's in one of the upstairs rooms in the saloon

>>11517 Thanks bro. >It's this faggot again

okay, i skipped ahead a bit in the plot to not...show off some of the particular dialogue, but i will do the secret mon before i go to bed at least one of the secret mons for ch5. this one, bisheerie, requires you to constantly revive fossils from this machine until you happen to get lucky enough to get the....two percent chance it glitches out and gives you the mon. surely this won't take that long, right?

oh, of course, you need to go GET the fucking fossil first, you can't just buy it from the machine. silly me, thinking anything would be easy in this game time to go...jew myself out for a mining kit I guess, fuck getting lopunny >>11518 just in case you get tripped up on the last thing, it's one of the couch tiles in the house you got stufful

What is this kid's deal? >>11519 >Your reward is a 380 BST mon that evolves into a box legend in Chapter 15 with a missable item from a sidequest that can softlock your game if you've gotten every possible self rule point in the game prior Or something like that?

>Was made much slower >Is considerably frailer on the physical side >Still has pitiful offensive stats >Most of it's good moves are locked to level 1 so it can't even access them Yeah.......sure buddy........ Calling it a night here, I'm dead tired. >>11515 Hoo boy......I am genuinely sorry for the autism you'll experience later relating back to this...... >>11520 HMMMMMM chuddie, you can't actually get fossils from mining, because you just can't okay?! That would be le hecking problematic! Bisheerie's movepool seems like fucking dogshit, it's one of the rare mons that gets Destiny Bond, but it's stuck at level 1, so you basically can't access it anyway.

>>11520 I caught the hint because he reused the same emphasis on "point" from the stufful quest, but the help is appreciated anyway because this game can be really obtuse when it wants to be. >>11522 Good night bro. We both get to sleep easy without Arthur hanging over us anymore.

>>11522 that's fucking stupid. of course. and the first fossil it looks like you can actually get...isn't until chapter 6 or 7. insane. how is this a CHAPTER 5 secret quest then, octavius? anyway. night bro. >>11521 bisheerie is okay, like orevald said it's movepool is pretty bad, but you could do worse in this game >>11523 i only say this because when you reach the house it's not really clear what you're supposed to do in it, as you'll see

wait, never mind, you can do the fucking retcoin shit for fossils. whatever nigga guess i might as well

>Octavius somehow niggered the game into you being unable to use Struggle after all your PP is depleted and you just get softlocked Gods........just.......... >>11523 Thanks bro, sadly it won't be the last fight that will get me a massive headache. >>11524 Thanks bro and goodnight too. Octavius' nigger tier design at full display, just fucking amazing ain't it? I think you can get some fossils from talking with a few NPCs around Starlight, I farmed a ton of retcoins to deal with one in the park later.

>a trainer using sleep talk + last resort komala doesn't work OH NO NO NO

I'm waiting for this to tie to the orphanage and the (((council))). I'm going to bed. Rebunking pizzagate can wait until tomorrow. >>11524 The game told me "look for clues" when I walked in so I just mashed A on everything until it progressed. Did the modder restore the prompt when I entered the building or was it always like that? That felt suspiciously nice for this game. >>11525 What do retcoins even do? I won a few of them on the roulette and they've been burning a hole in my bag since. >>11526 I just realized that since Limber prevents all speed drops, Registeel can abuse Hammer Arm to its heart's content. If you end up deciding to spawn one in, let me know if this synergy is as fun as it sounds.

>>11528 kek that line about posting on /leftypol/ slavery got removed from the basegame btw >Did the modder restore the prompt when I entered the building or was it always like that maybe he did, it's been a while >What do retcoins even do they're used for a couple sidequests later on. biggest one i think they're used for is the reporter sidequest which gives a lot of nice rewards

What a pleasant person.

Whiteouts: 18 Not counting the 15+ from losing the coinflip on K*ldeo's targeting T1, fuck that shit https://streamable.com/tj4cfk You can actually grab the item from Morgan before this fight, I chose the Cloud Incense and put it on Pangoro, which let it survive long enough to ack Blacephalon Jobberen was predictably useless. At least he bodyblocked some attacks I guess >>11529 >Filter holy kek

Why are all of the mons down here LARPing as Beldums with how many balls it takes to catch them? Did Octavius fuck with the catch rates / ball efficiency stats or am I just getting very unlucky? I've gone through 31 balls to catch 2 mons. >>11538 GG bro. >Names the clown Zain Quinn's at least got a sense of humor. >The AI decides to double up on Soyren until he acks You hate to see it.

I think Sawk was technically available before Arthur if I went way out of my way to come down here prior. It'd have made beating Pallosand way easier and more consistent, but oh well having an excuse to use Garbador in that trash fight was at least funnier.

After the falling rock shit, I just assumed the lava would insta-game over you. I haven't died to it yet, but I'm glad to know my assumptions weren't unfounded.

>>11539 Thanks bro >Did Octavius fuck with the catch rates / ball efficiency stats or am I just getting very unlucky? Both are probably a factor, I just went into the scripts and forced a 100% ccatchrate for convenience while pokedex autisming for impugil >>The AI decides to double up on Soyren until he acks The ~15 level advantage is too much for the AI to pass up, prease undastando My mons ack just as easily thoughever, so I'm glad she went after him, because at least I can deal damage kek >>11540 Some npcs block both entrances to that area until you fight Arthur unfortunately

The hell is this? >>11542 >Some npcs block both entrances to that area until you fight Arthur unfortunately Is this entire area gated because of exactly Sawk? That's extremely petty and gay if so. >My mons ack just as easily thoughever, so I'm glad she went after him, because at least I can deal damage kek Fair. Soren has exactly his Zygarde and Arcanine that accomplish anything I've found and everything else just sits there passively.

>New trainers are in the molten core now ????? ok >>11543 >Soren has exactly his Zygarde and Arcanine that accomplish anything I've found For me it was just Zygarde dealing ~40% to Electivire, triggering it's healing. Even Arcanine was worthless outside of a meatshield because Scyther 2hko'd Keldeo anyway Everything else was indeed dogshit though kek

I'm unsure if the "Virgil" I'm seeing all over the place is the real deal or Regalia-induced schizophrenia.

Annoying, mainly because of having to navigate the crest to remove all the cores

Now to undo it. I need to take all but 2 right?

This faggot has the audacity to put this here after putting the Arthur fight in the game.

They really weren't that bad.

finally That took way longer than it should have kek

How is anyone supposed to reasonably figure out the connections between the mines crystals specifically and this ledge without a guide, opening RPGMaker, or hearing people yammering about it on a shartcord?

Way too much time spent of this fag, not even going to be able to use it kek

>>11555 The letter next to it is implied to be written by Morgan right?

>>11560 Thanks bro, GG as well. >CHADfetch'd Based.

I got completely niggered by this puzzle because I didn't realize Switch 3 was inverted from the rest (on without a core inserted) for too long.

Given the amount of instant kill hazards down here, she's not wrong.

Shitting on the council's ineptitude is based thobeit.

Thanks for the Suicune loicense.

Whiteouts: 19 Turns out it's not a great idea to bring 3 flying types into an electric* leader, who knew >>11562 haha...glad I wasn't the only one at least

>>11566 GG. Is his team the same as the first fight?

>>11567 Thanks, he still has the Pallosand, Cinderace, Vikavolt and Heliolisk (leveled down of course), the others were replaced by a Jolteon and some fakemon

haha... >>11568 Magearna pre-evo fakemon?

Don't worry about the occultism, goy. >>11570 >The fromredditor has a fedoramon It almost is self-parody at this point. Almost.

So what if your girlfriend got murdered for their interests goy? They keep the shekels flowing.

haha... hahahaha....

kek

So that's Chapter 4. It certainly was a large step down from the previous 3 chapters, but I was numb to everything after Arthur. The crystal puzzles may as well have been playing a good game like SPEE or PLAF in comparison to the hell that was the first Arthur fight. Recency bias is something I'm keeping in mind when saying this, but I suspect that fight in its current state, after all the shartcord brainstorming and group dilation sessions applied, is probably the hardest unwinnable fight in any of the games we've played here. If you still have a save in that area, I'm curious how you guys think it stacks up to Urmumium or MM kaizoshittery. This shouldn't be a badge of honor for Octavius to wave around to other fangame devs though; I think in terms of fight design itself (among other comparably difficult fights) it's completely shit because the more options that Octavius removes or nerfs from the player to prevent them from winning that fight, the less interactive the remaining viable strategies tend to become. I wouldn't be surprised if every single Trick Room setter gets deleted from pre-Arthur in a future version if he can't figure out how to fix the numerous AI exploits to get it to switch semi-reliably and give you a free turn to set up. You'd think I have more to say about the rest of the chapter given how egregious the dip in quality is compared to everything else and how evident it is that the council is whoring itself out to all these companies for the highest bidder, but the Arthur fight not only lives rent-free in my head but owns the entire apartment complex for now kek.

Please don't ruin this scene with a faggot quipperino.

>>11528 Will do, shame Registeel doesn't get Curse or most other boosting moves. Off the top of my head, retcoins can be exchanged for shit about 6 times from now in fairly average to large quantities in sidequests, they typically get you some really good shit too. >>11530 >That filter Fucking lmao. >>11538 GG. >>11543 That's Corsola's dogshit fakemon evo. >>11551 There used to be more of these throughout the game, the modder seemingly removed the rest.

Genuinely touching. I'm glad this game knows when to hold back on the jokes and oneliners and present itself completely sincerely when appropriate.

kek

>>11577 >Registeel It's got speed and adequate offensive stats now. It's bulk has been backloaded into its HP so you can run a full offensive EV spread if you want without that much of a loss in defensive utility, or double down on one or both defensive stats to make it take hits better. It's a very flexible mon just looking at it. It probably won't clean entire teams by itself, but it looks like a very useful utility pivot. >There used to be more of these throughout the game, the modder seemingly removed the rest. Did they all say the same thing verbatim? I'm curious what they said if not. >>11579 kek indeed

Possible thread banner material

>She leaves behind a Greavard Adorable.

>>11575 >is probably the hardest unwinnable fight in any of the games we've played here It's not even the hardest one in this game, unfortunately kek But I think it's a fair assessment. It's a fight you're not meant to win that's gone through multiple revisions to make it less beatable, Demice/Moto for all their faggotry ARE meant to be beaten. There is that Moto project for Solar Light Lunar Dark I probably should finish at some point, but I doubt it'll come close to Empire going off its meds because they're just designed differently >>11566 >>11538 >>11565 And GG

>>11556 It's hard to say if it was her, but I think the guides implied it was Arthur and Compton's parents who wrote it. >>11558 >>11560 GG. >>11575 The Arthur fight makes me almost miss the meteor gauntlets from Yang, almost. I spent an entire day figuring out how to beat Aya, but the fight was bullshit in a fun way. Even the giant Steelix fight made me feel pure fucking adrenaline when I figured out I could essentially make Cradily invincible with enough boosts and it was the most beautiful thing ever. Yang is a bullshit kaizomod, but it's a bullshit kaizomod that gives the player options at least, there's several ways to engage fights regardless of how bullshit they are. Empire just removes everything the player could use to beat fight's like Arthur's and a few other ones later, it's just kaizotranny kneejerk reaction. >>11580 No, but they all had different flavors of Octavius shitting on the player somehow just like this. >>11582 This isn't actually Chey's doggo, Chey's doggo becomes available in chapter 6 I think.

Amethyst must've been feeling real creative with that one.

>>11588 Wasn't it "Reborn City"? Or is the mountainous area with other cities also called "Reborn"?

>>11589 >Reborn City is the main city (capitol? Never explicitly stated to be, but it's implied) of the Reborn Region in the game Pokemon Reborn. Thanks Amethyst.

Forgive the accidental greentext.

>>11588 >How far out is the next one Not for a very long while, unless the modder added something. I'm also talking about the 'Arthur variety' of unwinnable fights, there are some more of the 'Landofag variety' before then. >>11589 The mountain regions are part of the Azurine region and the wasteland/deserts are supposed to be their own regions. Actually I think technically route 1 and the surrounding areas are their own region and then the mountains are another region. But Reborn City is in the Reborn region. Fun stuff

>>11590 Lin did nothing wrong. Reborn must fall.

>>11588 I love how this one faggot has a legendary that can mindrape people and Pokemon into becoming it's slaves or make them gain massive power through giving them chains that sorta fullfil their wishes, yet that's not even once considered like in any sane game with good writing. My brain wants to kill itself whenever I try putting even an ounce of thought into how retarded this all is. The Greavard spawns before Cheyenne dies as well. It is cute it spawns from her grave though. >0.3 Arthur Units Holy kek. >How far out is the next one? I think in two chapters if I'm not wrong.

>>11594 >I think in two chapters I'm referring to St*ne in ch11 not his fight in ch7

>>11595 Counterpoint, both are dogshit, one is just more dogshit than the other.

What does this change, if anything? >>11594 tfw just using the Pecharunt to make moonshine >>11592 I figured you meant the Arthur variety.

Schizophrenia city, there's no place I'd rather be >>11588 >0.3 Arthur Units kek

Huh, Virgil shows up even more frequently now it seems. >>11597 It enables a switch later, what that switch does I have no fucking clue. >Using Pecharunt to make moonshine It's a good thing I didn't turn this fag to the commies, I don't imagine they would do good with the Pecharunt.

>Fire types aren't spared from the magma damage, neither are Magic Guard Pokemon >Not a single rebornlike had the SOVLFULtism Reborn pulled with the several ways you can avoid damage tiles >The damage from the field in battle also doesn't deal proper type damage like in every rebornlike HOLY SOVLLESS, even Rejuvenation got this right.

>Throh is the only humanoid Pokemon that gets THICK TRUNK What did Octavius mean by this.........?

>>11600 The fields in this game are increasingly dogshit, sadly. The tundra and ice rink were decent but each one has been just gradually declining in quality from the last. >>11601 Holy kek.

We took all your assets while you were gone, goy

I have bad memories of this place...

Why is her dialogue halfway between 'normal' ebonics and jar jar binks?

I can't take this character the slightest bit seriously.

>>11607 She's just that diverse, chud.

It's not vaultin' veluza, but I'll take it.

THANK FUCK the modder reverted Turtanator back to normal, for those who haven't seen it, this is what Octacivus turned Turtanator into. The same faggot who complains about Pokemon design nonstop thinks this is good or even remotely passable. >>11604 Cheren xisters........it was already over.......but now it's even overer........... >>11605 H-haha......... >>11609 I have the feeling you'll end up loathing her by the end after a certain scene.

>>11612 You gonna use the Turt?

OH MY FAUCI HE DID IT.

>>11612 Cheren only appeared in like 1 episode as a gym leader at the end of Best Wishes even though Bianca is a recurring "rival". At least he got her in PokeSpe?

>>11613 Sadly I can't due to type restrictions, but it's a mon that was a long time member of the Turtle Brigade during my last run. CRADILY GODS....... Speaking of Cradily, it's really good in Empire too, most of the fossils are, Cranidos got some very autistic changes, but it at least has enough speed to do some things now. >>11615 These faggots unironically shout "OH MY SCIENCE!" I am not even kidding. >>11616 I watched 2 episodes of the gen 5 anime during my "I'm really sick of Pokemon late teens/early adult phase" and it was so awful that I gave up on Pokemon until late into gen 6. Cheren was a literal who in the games despite him supposedly being your rival, Bianca at least had an arc and was a qt. I think we all sorta collectively hate him now due to PALF. >>11617 CHUDTAVIUS GODS........

>But how does this affect you personally >>11617 The textbox that ACK'd the 'cord.

This screenshot is a microcosm of every city, sadly.

This was written by Arthur, definitely written by Arthur. >>11621 This is unironically what caused reborncord to go to war against Empire, this interaction made them all seethe uncontrollably, not the shit denouncing troon shit, not anything else, this specifically, let that sink in.

I hate how Octavius forgot Heatran is one of the few legendaries that weirdly enough has defined sexes, can't even keep track of the small details.

>>11622 >Note I can see it, but a lot of the language and phrasing is very feminine. Octavius-sama what are you saying? >Chudposting I love that it takes this to make them have their melty when it should be among the least offensive of things in this game to their sensibilities. Do they just not have the reading comprehension to see how badly Octavius is shitting on their ideologies with the entire setting?

>>11623 erm chud did you just assume mx. heatran's gender? that's not very progressive of you

HMMMM I'M NOOOTICING.

>>11612 At least Cheren got her in PokeSpe, which is where it matters. Meanwhile he only appeared in like 1 episode as a gym leader at the end of Best Wishes. >>11618 >Cheren was a literal who It's not like people actually remember any rivals correctly. Everyone thinks gen 1 rival is a jerk that always fights you when you're already worn out. In reality he's relatively friendly and aside from the champ battle when you're explicitly warned he's in the next room, he always appears shortly after a healing point. Part of this is mixing him up with Gary but that's still stupid. Everyone also calls Gladion edgy even though he's one of the most down to earth rivals in the series. >Bianca at least had an arc It ended with her giving up being a trainer and becoming lab assistant, just like Birch's child rival. At least it tied into the game's theme. >gen 5 anime Yeah, Best Wishes sucks in particular. >>11622 >This is unironically what caused reborncord to go to war against Empire What was even the argument against it? >>11623 Umm ackchually, Telian Heatran is non-binary, chud.

>>11627 Shit, previous post got undone.

>Uncle Tomwalas Remind me again how they're trying to claim the Yo'ACK aren't just niggers?

I want reaper drone form rotom so badly now.

Why is Chicken in this game and why is she telling me about socialized programs in it?

>>11631 Both Alola and Telius are getting invaded by aliens.

Octavius really hit the gas with this chapter, didn't he? >>11632 I have higher hopes of the literal interdimensional monsters integrating than the yo'ack.

>Huh, I wonder why the molten core puzzle is so confusing and autistic in how it was writ- >It was made by the schizophrenic Brazilian tranny Oh........... >>11624 Reborncord is a mental assylum filled with the most mental ill creatures in the planet, I wouldn't be surprised if they all lacked reading comprehension. >>11625 >>11627 ACK- I-I'll shamefully consume curious candies as a punishment for misgendering le hecking froggerino! Fair, I still like Blue a lot because he feels like a challenge, and he does gank you if you go towards the route that leads to the Indigo Plateau. He does get mixed with Gary a lot, but then again Blue has been shown to be an asshat in most forms of Pokemedia. I don't think really give a shit about Gladion, he shows up like 3 times in SM, does nothing, acts edgy, tells you to leave his home and that's it, even his stuff relating to Lusamine is not handled very well. I genuinely hate gen 7, I didn't dislike gen 5 as much as I thought as I would, I hated BW's dex and how it was handled, and I gave up out of boredom on BW2, but they were at least interesting games, gen 7 was painful to go through, it didn't let you explore, Alola was just massive corridors with hour long cutscene sections, even past Melemele it doesn't get much better, and Lillie getting so much focus sucks because she's a fucking cardboard cutout of a character. >What was the argument against it? That Empire is an evil nartzee game that needed to be banned everywhere. >>11630 Empire has a custom form for Rotom, which is sadly gated way too late. I don't know why by oven Rotom is borderline impossible to access.

>>11622 >>11624 This isn't the part that made reborncord go to war with empire It was the Gligar...haha....

>>11636 Did I miss the Gligar or is it coming up?

>>11636 WAIT WHAT?! FUCKING HOW?!

This player name really is the gift that keeps on giving kek.

>>11637 It's a sidequest. I think it's only at night >>11638 To be fair, yeah, it was also partially the politicalshit, but the Gligar sidequest is specifically what made them lose their shit. The modder also restored the dialogue that made Reborntroons seethe in the first place, I don't think you've ever seen it so it will be a 'treat'

She (((knows))). >>11640 Is it available now? What's it called?

Either best girl or best bait and betrayal. Unsure which yet.

>>11636 >>11637 >>11640 Did the 'cord really not understand what this was getting at? You'd think this'd be an instant melty if they did.

>>11538 >>11558 >>11560 >>11566 >>11588 gg >>11636 no way, no way they got upset over a Twilight reference

Probably took 60+ resets

>>11641 you'd have to revert your clock to night, and then it's just west of the pokemon center >>11643 this is new and was added after the reborncord melty i think kek >>11644 but why was it orange?

>>11646 what was orange? the gligar was normal unless I'm omega blind

>>11640 Gods, I am just beside myself by this point. >>11641 Ah Hayley, she's adorable, shame who she's friends with.

>>11647 aw goddamnit, never mind then kek. it says in the changelog he reverted the dialogue, guess he fucked that up i guess i'll just say it but yeah the gligar rapes her in the original quest and it's heavily implied to have a big orange penis, that's what caused reborncord to have a melty

Octavius I...

>>11650 >>11651 and this is just the start

Even with the guide, this puzzle still sucks so much, not helped by the PUTO TRAVECO ESQUIZOFRENICO NÃO TENDO O MINIMO DE DECENCIA POSSIVEL PRA AJEITA A BOSTA DO GUIA PRA SER COMPREENSIVEL E PRATICAMENTE LEGIVEL. >Hmmm goy, how does an innocent person dying affect you specifically?

>>11634 >I still like Blue a lot because he feels like a challenge picrel >he does gank you if you go towards the route that leads to the Indigo Plateau Which you have to reach by passing by the PC, the levels should not be a problem if you beat some mons on the way. >Blue has been shown to be an asshat in most forms of Pokemedia. Games: smug but chummy, worst thing he does is claim that Daisy won't give the player a map. She gave the player a map. His appearances in later games are smug but reasonable to the player. PokeSpe: Vegeta I guess? Idk I didn't touch Dragon Ball. Origins: jobber who didn't want to deal with Team Rocket, even his game self was getting close to Giovanni while this one ran like a bitch to the police after Red made him. Others are probably similar, anime is the only one that is kind of a jerk, but even then it's overblown. >Gladion >does nothing Gen 7 is rushed but he does take an abused chimera dog to raise it himself while working to stop Lusamine's plan since Type: Full was designed to be an "Ultra Beast Killer". I think he's repelled the main group of Ultra Beasts when Lusamine summoned them? It's what he said he's doing when the player reached Lusamine but then the postgame consists of hunting the stragglers down. >acts edgy He's pretty spergy if anything. All his "edginess" amounts to is telling Hau to stop having fun and then chimping out when Lillie gets kidnapped, and he apologized immediately after anyway. His concept art actually calls him a chuuni. >That Empire is an evil nartzee game that needed to be banned everywhere. I meant to ask what they said about lesbian Dunsparce specifically. Gligar too, I guess. >>11645 Flightless bird got ACK'd.

The most baffling part of Empire to me is why Octavius chose a pokemon game of all things to build this setting he autistically envisioned to have as many modern parallels as possible and using NPCs to comment on it. This would be a solid VN or jarpig doe. >>11653 Can't wait. >>11654 I'm glad you at least had the capacity to feel anger towards the silly puzzle design. Arthur made me go completely hollow for the rest of the chapter.

>>11655 >I meant to ask what they said about lesbian Dunsparce specifically. Gligar too, I guess. I don't know if they ever said anything about the lesbian dunsparce (other than just laughing about it because it's really fucking retarded), but an ex-dev of Empire called Filthy brought up the Gligar rape thing to Ame and got it banned off of Reborn They'll occasionally have melties about how Empire is fascist due to other stuff, but that was specifically what got it axed

weird looking moles

Octavius you gorilla vantablack porchmonkey you do not get to take shots at Blackview for being hard to navigate immediately after Toliman Mines.

>>11656 Same reason as most other fangame creators that use Pokemon as a soapbox for shitty fiction. >>11657 Didn't play Empire yet, qrd?

>>11660 Join us, anon. This game's a fever dream.

>Ominous remix of Drought AAAAAAAAAIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIEEEEEEEEEEEEE PALF BROS NONONONONO!!!!! >>11655 Fair for the most part. >what they said I don't use shitcord, only the rest of the lads keep tabs on them on occasion. >>11656 I don't blame you, I felt dead inside yesterday, thankfully my anger tends to drown out my soulcrushing despair. >>11659 Won't be the last time Octavius tries to shit on Desolation specifically in the most retarded way possible.

Alright secret quest number 2, the files Basically, you have to look around this place to get the codes for these things, they're related to Pokedex entries. Then you take it to a guy in the Senate building I'll spoiler in case you want to try figuring the codes yourself: blue and red on upper left machine - 357 and 889 blue and red on lower right - 12 and 38 going to go poipole this time, obviously, will try and use it for a bit >>11660 It's just that the game isn't particularly subtle about it's views on immigration and socialism And the Pokemon fangame community is a place where Eric Lostie is called one of the worst people on the planet for including a South Park joke about the black MC not getting money Basically humorless retards being humorless retards

Thank you Wagie.

M-my knee?! I-it's bending on it's own?!
