>>22451 my bad, just couldn't remember

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-zFnw_JBeqc https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kcsR6yWGw5E I keep getting distracted or busied with chores. Also, I saw some of these while playing ZA, but holy fuck I really regret not having added Aggron to my final team now. >Mega Sableye's run If only this little bastard wasn't so painfully mediocre in ZA. >Mega Clefable Awwww.... >Mega Excadrill This thing looks even worse while it's moving, I keep forgetting about this thing and how fucking terrible it is, I barely saw it on my fight with Tarragon due to my Delphox fucking deleting it.

>>22453 the metagross one also looked a bit weird, and scrafty seemed weirdly tall. mega dragonite shockingly looks pretty good when it moves like that though, the head wings look less out of place

Ya know, redoing the Jangmo-o gauntlet made me think of something.....why don't fangames just paint red eyes on wild mon fights to call them frenzied mons or Alphas like in PLA and ZA? Like, it's a simple detail but it's a charming and doesn't take that much effort. >>22454 Metagross flies like that to protect it's face I think. Yeah Mega Scrafty looked way too big, I wonder if the fag who made the video caught an Alpha? Yeah, Mega Dragonite looks way better in motion, I also learned the hard way how fucking terrifying taking Hyper Beams to the face is during the Rogue Mega fight against it, however it's not as bad compared to Rogue Mega Tyranitar trying to turn the player into a rocky kebab and deleting your Pokemon from existence by doing the same.

>>22455 oh can you catch bigger sized pokemon like in pokemon go?

Fight was fairly easy, but I definitely feel like they increased the levels a bit here, doing this fight without Alolan Sandshrew feels so weird. >>22456 Yeah Alphas are considerably bigger than regular Pokemon, I don't think ZA has a size system like SV, or at least I haven't checked. Alpha Mega Froslass, Steelix, Victreebel and a few others are fucking absurdly big in game, quite a few Alphas feel like the cannon size some mons should have, like with Charizard, Excadrill and a few others.

>>22457 gg. yeah I noticed mega aggron being almost wider then the street like the wall he is.

>Hypes a feature to high hell >Even adds a small new event for it >It doesn't work Jeetcode bros........is this a problem on my end? Because I still have the bug where my badges won't show past the first one, I still don't get what causes it. >>22458 Thanks bro, ironically said huge size would actually be a potential hindrance in ZA, mostly due to being a bigger target, but the bigger size also gives you a bigger hitbox on certain moves I think, so it's a trade-off.

>>22459 it's blank for me as well

That is probably the face I would also make if I met Soyren. >>22460 Fucking hell Octavius.......

Take your gay twink sword and shove it where the sun doesn't shine faggot.

the one time I don't grab snorunt. I forgot he gets both heal block and permafrost to nerf the tree. 8 tries, absolute shit tree

Why does this nigger feel like he has to rename literally every fucking move in the game? I've never seen a creature as painfully autistic as Octavius. It's like the fucking Linux memes I've seen recently, Pokemon's base gameplay is perfectly fine as is, it doesn't need to be reinvented or renamed over and over again, so why does this autistic nigger keep trying to do that? Holy fuck dude.

>>22463 GG.

>>22464 >>22465 thanks bro. kek, just replace wheel with pokemon and it pretty much fits.

started to really like flamigo from the reborn playthrough, so this thing hurts a little bit more. idk how he came up with this

>>22466 Sadly Gamefreak themselves are starting to become very autistic on this front as well, instead of improving on the base gameplay they want to try and reinvent Pokemon with gimmicks now. >>22467 I just replaced these dogshit sprites with actually good ones I found online, I recommend doing that in general for Empire. Octavius is obsessed with unfunny memes and shitty indie games like Getting Over It, so I'd wager that's where he got the idea for this thing from.

it might be controversial but this might be the only likable character in empire

Sorry bros, I'm really getting slammed right now kek GG to everything I've missed, I'll probably have to see if I can hop on the Empire train later this week (if at all, unfortunately)

>>22470 thanks bro. sorry to hear about the hectic schedule, there's plenty of time to hop on though when you can

>>22469 GG. Elise, Demetrius, Cheyenne, Hayley and Geoffrey for the hilarity factor of how much of an edgelord blood knight he is, are way more likeable than North in my eyes. >>22470 Thanks bro, in fairness we've all been playing Empire really slowly and I get how incredibly annoying university can be, hopefully you can get some free time soon.

>>22472 thanks bro. I did forget about demetrius and cheyenne, but I would put north above geoffrey. the dumb smile geoffrey does when he says "this time geofrey joins the hunt" is really funny, but he's like the 500th edgelord character I've seen. he's not nearly as funny as racist grandma being absolutely dumbfounded in that scene in the desert

PSYGODS.......... >>22473 My issue with Ethyl is that her nigger hatred is entirely justified, but the way she excuses the nigress from all the horrible shit she did is just ridiculously insulting and she's also a bitch who has shown herself TWICE to betray people for the "greater good". Ethyl is like a walking showcase of why you don't put women in positions of power.

Braixen deleted this fucker in two hits, she isn't even EV'd. Searing Shot does so much damage and prevents the niggertree from healing at all. I also autism'd here a bit and decided to try my hands at drawing a few of the Pokemon fights with glowing Alpha eyes, mixed results so far

>>22475 gg. I wonder if it's supposed to be another thing of "royale good council bad" because you have racist grandma being reformed but there are a lot of instances of various council members/associates of the council like dad hawthorn having random based moments. it really doesn't make sense for ethyl to suddenly not be racist, it's almost as cartoonish as the reveal of the yo-aki accent being forced but that scene is still gold

This little fucker destroyed North's entire team, it's so stupidly fucking broken. >>22476 Thanks bro. I was just flabbergasted seeing that scene, the racist insults were hilarious but what came right after was so painfully mind-numbingly retarded that I was just burning with rage having to see it. It's hard to say what's Octavius' intended message, because Octavius made even the fucking dev self-inserts the scummiest pieces of shit in the planet, Octavius himself was Zain's old mentor, imagine self-inserting as PokeTrotsky or PokeLenin's teacher, like holy shit. What's hilarious is that Octavius in this game is a (not) christian instructing a bolshevik, in the communist manifest Marx said so himself that communism and liberalism are directly inspired by christian/jewish teachings. If this is intentional I have to wonder what the fuck Octavius meant by it.

They seemingly rewrote small pieces of North's dialogue, he doesn't come off as butthurt as he did before, he's still an insufferable cocksucker though.

>>22477 gg. imo I don't think octavius' direct self insert is intentionally scummy, it's not just that he's really preachy but no one tells him to shut the hell up. I can't think of a time where someone interrupts one of his hour long sermons. I think if he was supposed to be intentionally scummy someone would've told him off for that, like in that scene in the swamp house with the loser's club. he also totally saved his druggie waifu as far as I know, but I haven't seen much of chapter 13

I'm gonna have to run some chores, but I entirely forgot something, there's a Royale rook at the southwest of Calvera, at the very bottom of the map, you need to cut a tree to reach him, if you give him the details on Rose and North he gives you a really good Wattrel, which is fantastic this early in the game. >>22479 Thanks bro. That and he paints every character that disagrees with him like a soyjak. I'm just very curious what Octavius implied by making his self-insert a commie sympathizer.

the mc talks more then I remember

>Finally start getting some free time >Weather immediately starts to get worse >There's a fucking cyclone alert for Friday SIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIGH..................... >>22481 The MC is a fucking dork.

Words of wisdom.......

Whiteouts: 1 Got ganked by a fucking whore with the most disgusting Klefki I've ever seen in my entire life.

is that only for doubles or does it apply to switched in pokemon like bonfire?

>>22485 It works for switched mons as well, if any of your mons gets to low health they get healed.

>>22486 thanks bro

I hate rose so fucking much

hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

I wasted an absurd amount of money that I farmed from getting yanche berries up in Polaris to try and get the stupid fucking Garbodorite, and the piece of shit STILL hasn't dropped. >>22488 Entirely warranted kek.

is this based on relationship or something? I thought alannah bailed you out here. I did choose to say the council sucks ass back at the plane site this time

man I sure wish the relationship tracker worked so I could verify if it was something I said. I even did the optional alannah battle this time at the lake. you rob me, lie to me, send me on a shitty mission to get a logbook, and then rob me again.

>>22491 If you have negative relationship with her Lutor bails you out, Octavius REALLY wants to punish you for not sucking up to your asshole "friends" in this game. >>22492 Truly a woman after Virgil's heart.

3 tries. wigglytuff with circadian rhythm really boosted golett and a-raticate. hitmontop was a bit of an issue though, and all of the fucking switching. >>22493 >denounce council >lose money bravo octavius. what a power couple, both are really good at abandoning people

MCs brother doesn't really have the STYLE for this name, going to call him Virgin for now >Metang has levitate now >this is somehow part poison Thought it was psychic because it took SE when switching in to a dark move, I still don't get why poison is weak to dark

Now the MC suddenly talks instead of just having ...s?

>>22495 gg

Sure I get it but installing guard rails on literal lava pools isn't exactly taking away freedom >>22497 Thanks

Spent ages grinding this stupid Pidove to level 18, Rose is probably going to be a bitch to fight since I don't really have any Dark types. Also I've been considering coding in a few of the ZA Megas, I'm just not sure when to make their Mega stones available. >>22494 >>22495 GG. >both are really good at abandoning people And playing victim despite being awful pieces of shit and stealing and being manipulative scumbags......truly a match made in hell. >Harprey I don't get what the fuck is the point with this thing, the Poison type makes no fucking sense, this thing for whatever reason is locked insanely late into the game for how mediocre it is. >Dark being strong against Poison Octavius true to his behavior is a Darknigger, notice how he also nerfed the shit outta Fairy types. What he did to Psychic types still completely baffles me as well, why the actual fuck is Psychic strong against Electric in this scheisse? >>22498 >Commies abusing unpaid labor in trainers who are forced to do extremely dangerous tasks to have a chance at getting badges >Dozens have died in this shithole due to this sperg and he still hasn't been fired due to being useful to (((Zain))) The fact Octavius expects you to like this faggot is the cherry on top.

North xisters........

I love how Royale actually rewards you for going out of your way and standing up for yourself.

>Hype up Mega Malamar for 2 weeks >It gets an amazing reveal >It looks fantastic >Give it abysmal stats that make it utterly useless >It's locked so absurdly late in that there's literally 0 reason to even consider using it

This seems a bit inappropriate to give right after a whole funeral cutscene >>22499 Thanks

I really can't tell half of the time if what the YoACKs say is supposed to be broken english or another language

AFTER FIVE THOUSAND YEARS. >>22503 And it's very misleading too. >>22504 It sounds like a weird mix of broken English, Arabic and monkey noises.

I don't remember it being written that Ethyl or her family helped her.

I'm pretty sure this is sorta new in terms of dialogue. >North only got his position due to cocksucking and nepotism >Nobody likes him, his soldiers only tolerate him because he's Zain's bitch Oh nononono...........

randomly he's confirmed that his johto remake is still being worked on, and we have a more concrete release window for Z, early 2026. pokemon revival is also getting ready to release the new chapters soon.

First try, but just barely, this fight is still really annoying. >>22508 >Eric blatantly admits he rushed Indigo/Anil >This is in spite of him saying he wanted to make a good Gen 1 remake compared to FireRed and LGPE Siiiiigh...... >Revival Seems neat. >"Lopunny is humping against Cira's legs!" H-haha..........

>>22509 gg. tbf he didn't need to make a new region with indigo compared to opalo or Z.

>>22510 Thanks bro. I know, one of my biggest issues with Z specifically was how many routes and places were just straight up reused from Opalo and Indigo. Eric made it sound like Anil would be this end all be all of gen 1 remakes and it was so mediocre, it even removed several pretty good things from FireRed while not adding all that much for compensation besides some kino during the endgame. And some stuff like the raid battles sucked.

I look like I rob trains >>22511 hopefully he puts more effort into z and ocre, z already has some bad character shit going on, and and johto has been butchered many times already.
