>>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.

>These fucks saw Elise's husband get killed and they're lying to her face >They're extremely nervous not because they care about her but rather because they know exactly what happened and have to pick their words extremely carefully TOTAL (((ORIGEN))) DEATH.

>>22512 It's the hat, the hang changes everything. I really wanted to like Z, but the story and the routes being taken directly from Eric's previous projects really hampers it for me, not helped even more by Eric completely disregarding Kalos' actual story and Pokemon's lore to try and tie it all together with the really retarded and contrived lore from Opalo, that and the game is not even subtle about being a blatant Elden Reference. I hope Ocre does turn out well, sadly as we're all aware by now Johto like Kanto tends to get severely shafted when it comes to fangames and remakes, besides Eevee Edition and Rocket Edition I suppose, Scorched Silver kinda counts, I keep forgetting that I need to finish that someday. I hope Eric actually does something interesting with Johto instead of just shoving shitty OCs into the mix and calling it a day like some hacks. *COUGH* Shockslayer *COUGH*.

Huh, I don't know how the fuck I missed the fact the DLC datamine said Crabominable has a Mega, funny how Octavius has been delaying making the Crabominable evolution he has hinted exists for so long, I guess now he finally has a design to ripoff.

Oh also, we're getting DLC news apparently pretty early tomorrow. Apparently the DLC might come a bit earlier than it was previously expected? No reliable news on that yet, but we do know the DLC has been ready for quite a while now. Also fags have been very slowly going through the new Teraleak files and they found some basic stuff like early Goldengo and a Rotom piloted drone.

>Lose computer to motherboard failure >Wouldn't it be funny if it happened again Gray market suppliers mixing their stock with first party vendors should be publicly executed along with every single jeet working QA jobs. At least I got 256GB Ram before the market shit itself. >>22498 >>22499 It's impressive how objectively shit Arthur is yet Octavius (character) is so incomprehensibly awful in comparison that when he's in the same scene with Arthur later on, I'm stockholmed into liking Arthur in comparison. >>22509 >>22495 >>22494 GG everyone. >>22513 At this point I'm convinced that Origen is directly or indirectly responsible for literally everything wrong in the setting we've seen so far.

>>22517 Welcome back and sorry to hear bro, also thanks. Reminds me of why I'm so apprehensive of buying new parts for my fossil of a PC, can't trust the local tech stores at all. >Arthur Narrative wise I loathe Arthur, the fact he's a powernigger, my natural enemy, makes it even worse. I still haven't forgotten the two days I wasted away trying to find ways to beat this faggot as well. I hope you play through chapter 13 eventually, it's far less shit than the swamp but it doubles down on Octavius' dogshit writing. (((Origen))) is in fact, behind almost everything wrong currently going on in Telius.

>>22518 I'm probably gonna see if I can scrape my empire save off my last harddrive before I commit to more. I don't want to tread through 80 hours of earlygame and saveless swamp again just for the new stuff. I'm not too put off by being ""pushed"" to upgrade my computer again; I at least, for the first time in my life, had computer upgrade time happen in a time where I could financially justify going all-in on my dream rig for the tech available. Assuming nothing bad happens, I'm set for the next 8 or so years.

>>22519 I don't think you really lose out on much by giving up your ability to save, at least from what I experienced via my main run without having given up saving. I do warn you though, you'll get constantly jumped by assassins in chapter 13.

>>22520 I fully expect the payoff to be extremely longterm on this. And noted about the assassins. In the spirit of the 'challenge', I will turn off the hacked fix I used to let me save after finishing the swamp when I start back up again.

>>22517 welcome back bro, and thanks bro. sorry to hear about the motherboard shit, online sellers have gotten so much worse in recent years. the early game actually hasn't been terrible, or the empire infection has finally taking over my mind, either or.

>>22522 I think the worst thing about Empire is that despite its many MANY problems, I look back on my time playing it more fondly than Reborn. I think it really is just as simple is that Octavius' autism is marginally less offensive to me than Ame+C*ss' brand of tumblrtism. This realization mindbroke me for the better part of an afternoon.

>>22523 it's certainly more interesting to talk about even on replay. reborn is basically a highschool fanfic between a friend group vs a schizo manifesto that could have a deeper meaning or could be the ramblings of a madman.

>Fags are for whatever reason having a melty over the Zeraora is based off of a scrapped concept for a Ratatosrk mythical gen 6 theory >Despite the absurd amount of evidence both in the Teraleak and from design aspects like Zeraora having a blue strand that looks like a horn when it attacks and is placed in the same area Ratatosrk's horn from it's old depictions is located at >The fact Ratatosrk's name could translate to "tusked traveler", which would be incredibly ironic given Zeraora was all but directly confirmed to have been a Kalos Pokemon that got moved to Alola >Anime staff wanted to debut Mega Zeraora as a counterpart to Mega Zygarde >Shiny Zeraora's color scheme is oddly similar to the Kalos legendaries >The only so called "argument" people have to refute said very substantiated theory is that Zeraora is catlike, while they completely disregard that Zygarde itself is heavily based on flatworms instead of it just being a wyrm like in Norse myth Of all the things to get anal at, pokefags always choose the dumbest. >>22521 Very likely, also because Octavius LOVES pissing people off, chapter 13 has a fucking section that forces you to sacrifice a legendary to progress the story, because Octavius cannot help himself with hating Pokemon. >>22523 Empire is mildly funnier because it feels like a colossal shitpost at times, but I think it still has similar issues to Reborn, like Octavius loves dogshit "memes" with no substance and while he sure loves yapping about politics and viewpoints, he seldom seems to understand most of them. Octavius besides writing women really well, presumably out of spite, struggles pretty badly at making even remotely tolerable NPCs, like Empire has an absurdly stupid and pointless word count to describe the most basic things imaginable. Brevity is the soul of wit after all. I will say I'd rather deal with Amethyst's brand of autism than Octavius when it comes to the self-insert shit.

>>22525 Gamefreak wanted to debut*

>>22525 >Legendary check If you miss every single legendary, are you softlocked? >while he sure loves yapping about politics and viewpoints, he seldom seems to understand most of them. I will charitably give him the benefit of the doubt that he understands more than he lets on in any given character essay as he often makes nods to the flaws in any given character's sermon in a separate unrelated sermon elsewhere in the game. This happens enough (at least in the version I played through) that I believe there's at least some degree of intentionality in having each character individually present their worldview to the best they as characters understand it. If this was truly his intent though, I seriously wish he'd give each character that spews their polsci or philosophy thesis at you a unique vernacular and writing voice. Nearly all of them sound the same in how they talk which makes it extremely easy to interpret it all as an authorial mouthpiece. >struggles pretty badly at making even remotely tolerable NPCs If the final thesis of Empire is that zogged societies only exist because spiritually and mentally zogged people let them exist, I will instantly elevate Empire to Top 1 on my tierlist as a self-demonstrating philosophy piece but I seriously doubt this game is both that self-aware and playing such a long con kek. >Brevity is the soul of wit after all. Despite being not a lefty game, the game script sure does read like a lefty meme kek.

>>22527 No, you can tell Virgil to fuck off and it's clear something really bad will happen if you make him do it, but it's not explained at all what it is, you know in any game that was made by someone less autistic, the event would just require you to use the legendary to destroy the machine or power it up. >they way they talk Yeah, this is another big issue I have with Octavius' brand of writing, he really rarely takes an effort to make NPCs feel like distinct people, which often confuses me when it comes to discerning if what an NPC says is just a random viewpoint or Octavius shoving his own into the game. >I seriously doubt this game is both that self-aware and playing such a long con kek H-HAHA............ >read like a lefty meme Pretty much, Empire reminds me of those garbled word salads you'd see pop out of shitholes like tumblr.

guess the middle option was expanded only. need those city amenities, but city traffic and noise is so shit

>It was revealed via an as of now locked sidequest that the Ultimate Weapon being fired 5 years ago is what gave way to the new variety of Mega Evolutions >Flygonfags want to go on a genocidal crusade by firing the UW over and over again until they get the Mega they're so obsessed with Enough fucking around with coding, artfagging and dumpster diving, time for Empire again. >>22529 The life on the countryside is pretty calm, not having to deal with people is a blessing, but not having ready access to markets for equipment and such and getting entirely neglected by public services like powerniggers sucks, I'll take losing power for several days over having to endure my old nigger neighbors any day of the week though.

>Skiddo is randomly immune to Ghost moves despite being Grass/Ice in Empire and not having a single ability that would by any means give it an immunity Octavius, please fuck off.

>Not hard to make (5 yellow and 5 red shards) >Gives you an omniboost if you 1 shot anything Interesting........

>>22531 Read the field notes. You're probably getting sneeded by the field and the "no effect" message is just shitcoded to use the generic x0 effectiveness one. This happened to me more times than I care to admit playing Empire.

>>22534 I checked, nothing in the Tundra Field seems to indicate this should be happening in the first place. At least with Octavius' dogshit decision of making a fuckton of moves "powder" moves and in doing so giving Grass types immunities to far too many moves, it's at least mostly easy to tell, here it makes no fucking sense, I love how not a single soul bothers to playtest this game.

>Says (((this))) >Doesn't give a single shit later when all the Yo'ACK are put in essentially a gigantic hellhole ghetto due to riding off on all the money he made working for the commies >Is clearly a mulatto with mostly White features >Holds no national allegiance and clearly resents his nigger ancestry more than anything Reminds me of how BLM's leader wasn't a nigger but rather a kike.

>The opponent's Ditto's Quick Claw activated! >Ditto still goes second anyway despite me not using priority

>Raining in the overworld >Not raining in battle >Sunny in the overworld >No sun in battle >It's the middle of the fucking night >Harsh sunlight is somehow a thing SIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIGH.................. At least Illyria runs without massive amounts of stuttering unlike last time.......I guess......

Nevermind, the game already started running at 1 FPS again, AMAZING. How the fuck do I fix this again? Do I just delete the weather effects?

>Use Torment to stop a Fearow from spamming Pluck >It's still spamming Pluck anyway >Fearow is also randomly immune to a bunch of moves it shouldn't be immune to

>>22478 >>22538 I'm convinced the 'cord found this thread since we last played kek.

>>22542 It's a possibility considering one Pokemon I complained about getting raped by nerfs in Venusaur was somewhat fixed, but nah, the awful 1 FPS stutters are still a thing.

Whiteouts: 2 I'm taking a small break, I haven't had such a shitty chain of events happen in such quick succession in a while, I might have to just delete the weather events, because the game is genuinely unplayable right now.

>>22543 The 1 FPS dive in Ilyria happens when you're near the seams of 4 interconnected maps. RPGmaker loads the entirety of any map that's partially on the screen (or in its loading zone) for scrolling-screen loading and won't unload them until you're a sufficient distance away. There's a case of this too in the cultural district that will cause this too if you come out of the Cathedral and take the shortest route to the Park guards past the pokemon center.

>>22545 Octavius could have easily fixed this by making the track trains be covered and rely on the player entering the two separate parts of Illyria through what would be essentially a train station, he clearly learned this was a fucking issue considering chapter v13 has the map split into different sections that are divided by a metro system. It's such an absurd degree of incompetence that it's almost laughable, because this fucking issue also happens near one of the most important areas in Illyria too.

Is there like any way to reduce the absurd lag in Illyria? I remember Ashime posted something o a solution, but holy fuck the game is barely even playable as it is.

>>22547 There's one specific weather event you need to remove. I don't remember which one is the culprit but iirc it's in the noble side of the fields.

>In the Baidam related files for Empire that were being tested since last version, there's an NPC making constant remarks about December Empire bros........could it be.....? >>22548 Thanks bro, I remember it was in the windmill, I'll delete it and see if it runs better.

It worked, I deleted all the events except the (((Origen))) one that tracks something, I imagine the windmill quest and the game is running much better now, I even got to see some visual effects I swear I never before in Illyria too like lightning and screen shakes.

>Lazarus is coming out on the 14th >Odyssey 2 is being shilled each week and Lucario gets not Parental Bond

I have gone from physical hell to mental hell it seems

I already want to strangle this guy

>>22553 >>22554 trust the science

The cheery xenoblade music really doesn't fit this place, not even one street in and I already see some child getting potentially molested

A what

Two screens down there were two yoaki guys arguing about the way they were treated because it was unfair or something

>Think my chores are finally done for the day so I can solely focus on Empire >One of my lambs has the funny idea of licking a porcupine or a hedgehog, not sure which >Have to spend nearly an hour wrangling the stupid thing to remove like 30ish spikes from stupid thing's nose and tongue >>22553 >>22554 This is the kind of thing that made me think Octavius was a reddit atheist, because those subhumans are the only kind of creature who'd even remotely find this funny. >>22557 This NPC is what caused Empire to get nuked from Rebornevo funnily enough.

was hoping there'd be more costumes, you don't see character customization too often. shame that male mc got a vampire costume. but femc...ZAMN

>>22559 Surprised it wasn't this guy

>>22560 Cute, I don't get why Lluvia got oddly flat on this piece of art. I think the MC looks a bit better with the Noivern vampire costume. >>22561 They nuked the game before reaching this section I think kek.

the change where fairy and normal are super effective against each other was really annoying here. it's not my fault wigglytuff can just enchant any pokemon for free

Alanah please stop using petal blizzard when there is only one mon left and my entire team is weak to grass

>>22564 Bitch didn't listen

did the easy version. it would be cheaper to just pay people to build the pokemart then it is doing the quests that you pay to complete. I don't know what this field is supposed to be

Ended up falling asleep after a section of drawfagging and trying to draw more custom sprites to replace the awful ones in Empire, sadly shading and finding the color pallets as is usual is just miserable. >>22563 >>22566 GG. >>22564 Damage over time effects and Steel types are your friend here, Alanah will sabotage you no matter what sadly.

>>22563 Oh forgot to add due to being a big groggy, but Octavius made it so Fairy types are immune to enchantment this version, of course he didn't explain that was the case at all.

>>22567 >>22568 thanks bro. of course he did, he's just as bad as ayrei at changing random things for no reason

Not my best work, I'm still really not used to drawing with size 2 pixels. >>22569 That is a fair comparison, especially funny is that both used to shill each other's games back in the day.

Aaaaaand Whiteouts: 3 This stupid piece of shit bear was buffed to a stupidly fucking retarded level for some reason and it barely takes recoil damage from the nuclear Double Edges it's hitting.

>>22570 >>22571 gg. speaking of, ayrei said he's working on a non-pokemon game, so (thankfully) the next vanguard update might be far away

>There's a Team Flare sprite randomly laying in the files >We know from ZA that some Team Flare scientists like Mable got poached out operation paper clip style I wonder if the game is alluding to the fact Demetrius' daughter is one of the Flare girls, that would be kinda funny. >>22572 Thanks bro, but I didn't beat the fight, the Ursaring just ones shots everything. >Ayrei is working on a non-Pokemon game That's going to be a disaster if Cuckguard is anything to go by.

>Start working on introducing the ZA Megas into Empire >Some new Megas were added >They get the most retarded and edgy nonsense entries imaginable

>You can make Focus Sashes now >The materials to make them are extremely fucking hard to come by I ain't surprised, but that sure is annoying.

I still find it bizarre Octavius made the country folk sympathize with the commies to overthrow the royal family, especially given commies fucking hate us farm folk and want us gone so they'll have sole control over food production. Doubly so because more than a few of the farmfolk bring up confederate stuff, which is the fucking complete opposite direction of commie shit. Does Octavius really think just because we live in the countryside that we don't read or know jackshit about how things work?

Very funny Octavius, very subtle. I do like this little talk that I think is new? It establishes that Cheyenne is sorta like Red from PALF in the sense that Pokemon perfectly understand her and really like her, she also expresses some of her desires of using her abilities to help people and Pokemon come together. It's really cute, it's just a shame how in your face the VERY SUBTLE "foreshadowing" is.

at least there isn't a fight at the end of this >>22576 I think the old man that you can give the medicine to instead of the evil orphan kid brings up that the old king would just slaughter people he didn't like, and the other royals would just let him do that without batting an eyelash. he went to help fight the monarchy to stop the enabling of that kind of behavior, or something like that. I wouldn't be shocked if octavius thought little of other people with all the jabs at the player that are in this

think this is the first time I actually got the final reward. it only cost a year's salary

>>22578 The sad fact this isn't even the worst stealth section in the game is depressing. I mean, it just sounds a lot like the lies the bolshevik jews used to make about Tsar Nicholas and the Russian royal family in spite of them not really being bad rulers, the Russian royal family was slaughtered in the most horrific way possible, like it's pretty obvious Octavius isn't exactly being subtle with the inspirations behind Empire's story and what real world events they could be compared to. It's also even more moronic because one bad king doesn't mean all the royal family was bad, sure Tobias was a loony but the people surrounding the royal family besides Geoffrey, who has a very good reason for being a brutal killer aren't even remotely bad people, Ethyl is an idiot but she truly intends to help people in her way, Quinn's father was loved by the entire region, Geoffrey is extremely honorable albeit brutal and Armand is shown to be a great diplomat and a dutiful man. The game also makes it seem like Tobias wasn't always a lunatic, which raises even more questions. We also know Octavius' self-insert instructed and pushed (((Zain))) to start the revolution, Tobias fucking hated Octavius' (not) christian group, so Octavius' character could have possibly fucked with Tobias' head via his Regalia or with some power he has out of petty revenge and to also facilitate his (((friend))) justifying the revolution. >>22579 The fact you can't choose what egg you get is absurd, especially considering how far down into the game the Pokemon you get from this egg event are. I think that's a Clauncher egg.

>>22580 you were right. considering the important quest the king gives you in the regalia dream realm tobias could've been framed. if he had the crown regalia when he was ruling no way were people not trying to steal the thing 24/7...wait how the fuck did the king lose? wouldn't the crown have allowed him to keep healing his troops? did the king really lose just to sheer numbers of yo-aki warriors? he still had the royal knights...that doesn't seem right

>doesn't evolve until 2 badge from now great

>>22582 Nothing about what happened to Tobias makes sense and it's pretty clear we're not being told everything and trusting the council on anything is a stupid mistake. Not only did Tobias have a massive collection of Regalia, but he also had a team full to the brim with legendary Dragon types. >>22583 Funny how Octavius says Telius is based after Unova given how absurdly late everything in this game evolves.

Metal Burst stocks are always in high demand for a good reason.

>>22559 >One of my lambs has the funny idea of licking a porcupine or a hedgehog, not sure which >Have to spend nearly an hour wrangling the stupid thing to remove like 30ish spikes from stupid thing's nose and tongue It's hard to judge given we're all sitting here playing and talking about empire which is probably just as painful. >>22580 Even if we accept the premise at face value that Tobias had indeed lost his shit and was no longer fit to rule, (((Zain's))) only morally correct course of action would be to immediately return power to the next in line of succession while the existing power structure (noble courts) figure out what happens longterm. The reason monarchies work over many other systems of government is that they have the fewest number of human contingencies to replace compared to other systems when they corrupt and do require regicide/"watering the tree"/whatever your turn of phrase is to correct. Monarchist systems can survive abrupt changes in management if handled carefully but a permanent shift of power or paradigm in a (((democracy))) typically kills the entire civilizational structure in the process.

HOLY FUCK MEGA BAXCALIBUR IS BEAUTIFUL.

>OVER LEVEL 100 POKEMON REBORN GODS?!

>Gamefreak makes two amazing looking new Megas >Looks them to Nintendo online

Wowe Gamefreak, a Mega Evolution that references it's pre-evolution in a tasteful manner without completely ruining it's design, imagine that. Mega Baxcalibur doesn't even look very different, but I like it on the basis that it puts a coat of paint over Baxcalibur and makes it look like a finished designed instead of the absolute joke it was, it's posture is also forward and thus looks far fucking better than that it is normally, with it now looking more like the Concavenator it was inspired by. I still think this fan design mogs it, but expecting good things from Gamefreak these days is a fucking mistake.

>>22586 Pretty much kek, sheep are just as dumb as they're stubborn and love to cause me issues, in that sense they're very similar to Empire. >(((Zain))) So, fun fact about chapter 13, Morgan straight up admits to her family the council commies lied about their "transitory government" and fully intend to keep power to themselves forever. Pretty much, monarchic systems also inherently incentive nationalistic tendencies, since they typically focus on legacy and representing and leading their nation's cultural image. A monarchic system like you explained is like a fruiting tree, if there's a bad branch, cut it out and the tree will focus a better, healthier one, ie replace their corrupt member with a more fit one. (((Democracy))) has never worked, everyone who pushed it in the ancient had (((peculiar))) descriptions and the system in itself incentivizes corruption and the manipulation of the masses, it also never works in effect because voting doesn't fucking work, trying to remove the bad aspects of a (((democratic))) system is like trying to kill a black thornberry bush, those things have roots everywhere, sure, cut out the fucking branches to make it look like things have been fixed, but the true problem lies underneath and it's roots (corruption) run so deep and wide that fully getting rid of it is borderline impossible without going full scorched earth.

a timeskip makes you lose all sense of color matching, apparently. Don't really like this weird BDSM-looking vest either tbdes

>Diantha is officially a mother now That was not in my bingo card. >Every fucking time we get new art of Mega Feraligatr it looks fucking worse Thanks Gamefreak........ >>22595 Funny how people asked for her to get rid of her helmet for years so her design wouldn't be as goofy, and then monkey's paw curled it's fingers ominously. I get the fucking belts, at least in concept, but this design looks fucking terrible in motion, Korrina unquestionably looks better with her coat on because her new outfit is so retarded.

Wait, they literally use the same exact excuse as Reborn too, with worlds overlapping as the reason as to why Pokemon can go over level 100. Did someone at Gamefreak play Reborn?

>>22585 gg >>22590 man those both look great

I HATE GAMEFREAK. I. HATE. GAMEFREAK. I FUCKING HATE THEM. SIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIGHHH................They are just trying to piss people off by this point..... Also, wow, it's not even subtle who's Ansha's mommy if you put them side by side. >>22598 Thanks bro. Yeah, Mega Bax's design just adds enough small fixes that it almost makes Baxcalibur look, almost. As far as Megas go it's still pretty underwhelming, certainly better than a lot of shit, but not that great.

>Korrina's retarded redesign is apparently also a Kamen Rider reference just like Mega Feraligatr I have never hated a show/anime I've never watched this much in a very long time.

Zoomers are a mistake of nature and shit like this is why they should never be employed. So aside from the extreme retardation, there's a potential confirmation Mega Eelektross might be getting Swift Swim as an ability.

>>22508 >KANTO is his most successful game In what way? Popularity? If so that's grim.

Wait, I just realized something. >I made an MC in PALF named Arthur Pendragon due to a seething rant Cheren made >He's a Dragon specialist >Baxcalibur is now true to it's English name a full blown Excalibur reference >After 2 whole days of hunting for one in that savefile, I caught a Frigibax that I named Avalon VGH............theme GODS.........it's all coming together......... I'll see if I can start Empire back up in a few minutes, I'll running ragged with stress due to the cyclone that was forecast for tomorrow, the day is perfectly clear and sunny and there's barely any wind, but I'm so fucking nervous and angry that I'm likely gonna have to spend another weekend with no power and horrible weather outside so I can't do anything.

>Opened up Empire >The game is weirdly frozen and running at like 2 FPS despite me not being in the cursed intersection zone Okay......? >Watched the news >My state is gonna get raped by a cyclone from late into the afternoon tonight all the way up until Saturday Fuck my life sideways, hail storms, heavy rain, 140 KPH winds and I'm not even in the danger zone in the German cities where most of my relatives live, which is very likely going to get hit by tornadoes. I really just can't have a single weekend without everything going wrong. IRL bitching aside, I don't know why but jewtube keeps recommending me GlitchxShitty's side channel, decided to watch her reaction to the DLC trailer out morbid curiosity and she wouldn't stop shouting "OH MY GAWD, IT'S KINGDOM HEARTS YA'LL!!!!"

>>22599 Every day I hope more and more gamefreak fails but I know the amoebas will keep buying the games and DLC

Aw sweet the schizo episodes are getting more frequent

>>22603 >>22604 hopefully you aren't impacted as much. idk how she sees kh in that trailer, you're closer with reborn new world vibes. you know jan is gonna give a new character mega baxcalibur and they're gonna wield it like academy grandma uses aegislash

I wasn't expecting the bucket of cold water that would eventually hit Alanah to be her sister but I hope she changes for the better after this and realizes she needs to stop being an overly emotional crybaby about everything

Ah I see it now, the item description of that mentions being able to quick save because of it so I will probably have to give it away I really hope it doesn't turn out something bad happens if I end up saving more than a certain amount of times because I have the habit of saving a lot

>>22611 Fuck it might

>>>>MC doesn't mention or ask about the sword I hate this kind of shit so much

>>22606 You already have faggots defending Gamefreak's dogshit decisions like locking EVEN MORE Megas to the shitty Nintendo online subscription, but you know it's bad when ever redditors think this design is utter dogshit. Like, NOT EVEN GAMEFREAK wants to fucking draw Mega Feraligatr and have twice now drawn it incorrectly in official artwork, how did this shit get approved? >>22609 Thanks bro, I'm just extremely nervous because I'm still in the calm before the storm phase and I'm worried I'm not get any sleep tonight. Yeah, I found that funny too, the Mega Dimension almost reads exactly like Reborn's New World and GlitchxShitty worked on Reborn by making tracks, which is hilarious to me. I'm fully expecting Jan to make retarded jokes with the new Megas, you just know he would have made a retarded gag scene with Mega Victreebel if he had the chance. >>22612 The game tracks your F12 usage, but so far it doesn't seen to do anything. You'll get fucked for using the sword later too much though, so keep that in mind.

Finally after so many teases, also a guy just drowned to death and he is smiling what a nice little shark

Really doesn't fit the mood of the music

>if it starts outpspeeding you just lose lol Thankfully he always wastes the first turn so I can set up some toxic spikes and with the help of a diving move,a fake-out clone and rough skin I managed to win

Well she is 100% going to go crazy with it

>>22618 >queen sectonias theme starts playing >the character that went insane after contact with a magical artifact that made her obsessed with something Yep it's going to happen

>>22617 gg

I'm trying to understand what the fuck is even causing this much lag, I deleted the weather events and I'm in a section of the map that shouldn't be lagging in the first place, hunting down Bagon and Larvitar is borderline impossible with how bad my FPS is getting slaughtered. >>22615 Sadly due to Octavius being a faggot you can't evolve your pseudos until you get certain items extremely late into the game, I recommend saying fuck that, because the pseudos aren't that busted in this game to begin with. >>22617 >>22619 GG and h-haha......weird how Octavius is so hellbent on having a dozen Moonlight Blossom remixes for Alanah and her family, but Alanah doesn't have a spider or wasp Pokemon.

>Decide to mostly avoid using debug >Trying to beat the game without spawning rare candies for once >Have to evolve a Skiddo to a Gogoat and it's taken me nearly half an hour to get it from level 19 to level 22 Siiiiiiiiigh........... >Mega Baxcalibur is causing zoomies to seethe because people are saying Baxcalibur looks unfinished and the Mega should be how it normally looks like I can't say I disagree with that notion.

What's Octavius' obsession with trying to convince the player to run mixed attackers? It doesn't fucking work.

>We can't get to the city in time to get medication for two people! Might I remind you this is a world with powerful psychic creatures that can teleport everywhere. I love how only Rob's Mewtwo is allowed to use Teleport and the everyone in this stupid retarded nonsensical story acts like teleportation is this insane thing when again, even regular psychics, not Pokemon, people with psychic powers, in the Pokemon world as described as being capable of teleporting, we literally see an psychic girl (although with the help of her Pokemon) teleport all the way from Hoenn to the Sevii isles in Kanto, that's a massive distance. So again, this makes no fucking sense, shortages also don't make that much sense consider Pokemon like Chansey and Audino exist, and while they can't quite heal every illness as far as we know, they can at least treat people with their abilities, this is so fucking dumb, I genuinely cannot emphasize how dumb this is.

I hate this retarded change in dialogue, so fucking much.

How does this work?

>Golurk, which is made of clay and thus make more sense to remain as a Ground/Ghost type is made Rock/Ghost >Galarian Yamask, which is literally part of a Nordic runestone is still Ground/Ghost and got a retarded rename Make it make sense nigger. I'm likely grabbing Chewtle via debug, I like Drednaw a bit better, turned it back into a Water/Rock type and it's one of the Megas from Empire I actually find interesting stat wise. That aside, I'm going to sleep, the storm still hasn't started and I'm extremely paranoid, hopefully things don't end up so bad.

It didn't take a month this time, woo Whiteouts: 21 (+4) https://streamable.com/e9g91a The confusion proc on eevee was nice, but I think I would've been fine without >>22459 >>22460 It could be because you have to manually activate it in one of your houses in the latest chapter, crazy the page is there if it's not activated >>22517 F, twice in a couple months is rough kek >>22566 >>22585 >>22617 ggs

>Keen Eye (+10% damage per lowered stat on the enemy), Early Bird (Ashen frost Power pack), Big Pecks >Natural Cure, Cloud Nine Technically Altaria's abilities are different, but by the time I can evolve it into Altaria, I could pulse3 it normally I'm pretty sure Probably going Pidgey for Early Bird Razor Wind bullshittery

>>22625 what did it say before? >>22628 gg, and thanks bro. the amount of extra healing the ai gets is so bad

Thank fuck the storms have generally been pretty calm so far, and by doing so I sincerely hope I don't jynx myself, the northern part of my state seems to be getting hit by the brunt of the cyclone, thankfully for once it seems the mountains are actually protecting my home. >>22628 GG thanks bro, and as is usual, LAWDS just sucks so much dick. I'll see if that's the case later in the game, I don't know when houses become active now considering it feels like a mechanic meant for the midgame instead of by the time you reach chapter 13. >>22630 God-fearing. Octavius' obsession with replacing words for no good reason continues to really fucking annoying me.

Apparently Baxcalibur, despite already being considered one of the most busted pseudos, is not only getting a Mega that literally cannot be bad, because if it got +20 in every stat like Mega Pyroar, or even if it lost some speed to add points to special attack, that would still be insanely busted, but also because it's a ranked reward so it HAS to be good and super minmaxed, is getting buffed EVEN FURTHER by receiving a fuckload of moves it didn't use to have access to like Ice Hammer and some other bits of coverage it didn't have access to in the past. Apparently someone at Gamefreak REALLY loves this fucker, same with Lopunny. >>22631 saying so*

>Over 123 pieces of art on danbooru >10 times more art than 80% of all other Megas We live in the wrong timeline.........I dread to imagine how fangames are gonna incorporate this abomination....

Oh shit, a few based Jap autists already made some gorgeous sprites for the new Megas.

>>22634 mega chimeco is top 3 in design, whoever made mega raichu needs to be fired and his paycheck given to the guy who made these

>>22635 Mega Chimecho, by most metrics, shouldn't work due to using the same dogshit concept they used for Mega Feraligatr, yet it pulls it off in such a charming little way that it somehow just works and the idea behind the design with Chimecho reverberating the metal frame and the chimes to create super sonic waves is pretty cool. Honesty both Mega Raichu still look pretty bad, but they're okay in 3D, not great, but some details are less retarded like Y's "horns" that looked more like a second pair of ears in the 2D art, actually looking more natural now. Meanwhile there is literally nothing, no medium, no way and no hope of ever making Mega Feraligatr look even tolerable, it feels like someone made that ugly mistake out of spite for Feraligatr, even the stats are bad, it only hits 2% harder than Feraligatr's with Sheer Force and a Life Orb, it's not even faster too, it's horrible in every way imaginable, so horrible that even mediocre to bad garbage like Mega Raichu and Excadrill look better by comparison. Mega Baxcalibur is pretty lame as a Mega design due to very little changing, but it improves so much on the base design that felt unfinished that I can't help but like it while also being saddened this isn't just how regular Baxcalibur looks.

>Go look for field notes to take a few ideas on how to destroy Dr.Groundrape >Come across this fucking abortion

>>22620 >>22621 >>22628 Thanks >>22637 Every time I read an Empire field I feel like I get flashbanged

>>22638 You're not the only one kek, I get a fucking headache out of just trying to understand how the actual fuck someone made these and thought in any way that they were okay, Empire's fields are so fucking retarded. I genuinely regret bitching so much about Friv's game's field effects, because at least he tried making them make sense, Octavius doesn't even bother, it's like autist logic, which only makes sense to the autist in question.

Pillars of law helped me more than it did him lel

>Destroys Sceptile's stats to make it a shit physical attacker >Ruin Sceptile's movepool and give it literally nothing >It's a Grass/Dragon type now that barely gets any Dragon moves and the few it does are low power garbage >Octavius moved a ton of stats on Serperior to make it better in general meanwhile and also just gave it an ability that gives it all the advantages of being a Dragon type without any downside >Sceptile's new abilities are also complete dogshit in stuff like fucking Limber and Infiltrator when Sceptile desperately needed an ability that boosted it's offenses Thanks Octavius........... >>22640 GG, a lot of fights that were added in the newest update abuse this move, so keep that in mind.

>Octavius also nuked Dragon Pulse from the game and most Dragon types don't get access to stuff like Draco Meteor and are forced to use dogshit gimmick moves or shitty low accuracy garbage with awful downsides THANKS OCTAVIUS.

>Zain used the mind control regalia that Chiene had I don't know why I was expecting Zain to basically be a figurehead, probably because he looks like a guy that suffered bullying a lot

>>22637 it's bonkers but it looks like the player could also utilize it unlike other fields >>22640 gg

>Sceptile's BST was also lowered from 530 to 525 WHY?! >>22644 To an extent, yes, but it's also just fucking utterly retarded in terms of design and doesn't sound like fun to interact with.

I was happy to not be homeless anymore but I forgot this is torture.exe so I can't even have a proper house >>22644 Thanks

A-dugtrio sweep, super luck is a great ability. I don't feel bad because she used sticky web at the start. is there any chance we get an option to time travel at some point to stop the great stampede from happening, it's such a shame

Whiteouts: 4 >Groundrape is cheating by having every single of his Pokemon randomly have legendary moves on them >Ice spam no longer works in this fight >Aurora Veil still causes crashes Thanks Octavius. >>22647 GG, Octavius hinted that was the case, but having Cheyenne back would be nice, so it's a big no-no.

>>22648 thanks bro.

It's over Groundrape, winter comes. Still iffy on my sprite edits to Jynx, with the closed mouth smile and the Smoochum eyes, but I really love making Smoochum's eyes the shade of turquoise it has in it's official art and I tried experimenting how those would look on gym, I might try making it look a bit better later, but I can't find any shading that would compliment it very well.

>>22650 how these would look on Jynx*

6 tries. I think I had to enchant everyone but croagunk to stop his team from just spiraling out of control. faustian deal is also really good, I can just steal their type and shadow box them to death as their stab moves do nothing

>AI always gets a burn on any Fire move it clicks As is usual I don't know if it's bullshit or me just being extremely fucking unlucky. Also gotta love how the glownigger has a massive hooked nose in his sprite. >>22652 GG.

>>22653 gg, and thanks bro.

>girl suddenly gets kidnapped by a batscorpion Telius proving once again that it's a free sample of hell

Whiteouts: 7 >My fucking Flying types are getting poisoned by Toxic Spikes >Gravity isn't even active >Nothing in the field manual explains why the fuck this is the case >The game just decided to give me a fat middle finger >>22654 Thanks bro. >>22656 The retard didn't get the point Gligar and Gliscor are meant to be manticores. Also every trainer in this game that uses Gligar and Gliscor have a ton of Ground moves, because Octavius just decided one day Gligar needed to be Poison type for no good reason and didn't adjust fights accordingly.

it just dawned on me that this game doesn't really have routes. you pay obscene amounts of money to go from city to city instead of walking.

You know what, fuck it, I'm grabbing Rare Candies and EV'ing my mons, fuck this nigger tier game. >>22658 And every fucking map is just a big straight line or a laggy shithole that is a pain in the ass to traverse, to think we used to complain about Desolation's maps.

>The retarded (not) Manectric fakemon hits so hard with Thousand Waves that it's nearly one shooting my 80 HP and defense, fully defense and HP invested Eldegoss with a bold nature I hate this game, I hate Ground types and I hate Octavius.

I'm getting so many fucking error messages during Heinrich's fight, either I get raped and nearly auto lose or I start winning and the game gets like 10 soft crashes and I can't do anything, I am genuinely tempted to just skip this shit.

>>22661 you could just skip it and give yourself what the reward was

>>22661 Are you using debug? For some reason whenever I try doing a battle while debug is on it just gives me errors so it might be that

>Checked Heinrich's fight in the code >His Pokemon have 6 moves each counting with their paragon moves >>22662 I guess, I'm almost certain Octavius messed with this dogshit fight somehow, I'm also getting way too many crashes that didn't happen before, either everything that counters Heinrich's team gets nerfed by the field by an absurd 60 to 75% or it crashes the game, I genuinely hate this shit so much. >>22663 Nope, regular launcher, and I'm getting an absurd amount of crashes.

I don't remember the entire copypasta but I'm reminded of the one that was basically "fathers with daughters are the biggest cucks" >>22664 if you're not using the Z version of the game try that, if you already are then octavius' shitty QA strikes again.

>>22665 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oTk51PyvZKU I could only find the link to a youtube read of the copypasta. I opened up the regular game launcher and it's running at like 7 FPS.

Damn, why are all these cool looking Pokemon Romhacks spanish. Those guys are on something else.

>Have to endure the game running at 4 FPS to beat this fight I'm probably calling it a night, Empire as is usual has a way of sapping my want to keep going. >>22667 Spic fangames have been falling off pretty hard in recent times for the most part.

>>22668 Really? All the ones that seem cool on twitter end up being hispanic. Maybe I'm just falling for the preview shots.

>>22668 gg

>Octavius is taking lessons from Jan and re-writing earlier game sections to fit with shit he randomly decides to shove into the game later >>22669 A lot of spic fangames tend to sound amazing on their descriptions, but fall pretty flat in their executions, Elena is sadly not really working on making fangames anymore, Eric's games past Opalo are just okay-ish, Anil/Indigo pretty bland and Z is whatever, it's routes are all recycled, the story is really not good and feels too fanficky, and the regionals are a mixed bag, at least graphically (for the most part), spic fangames tend to look pretty good in the presentation front, but many end being fairly shallow. One of the really good ones I'd entirely recommend is Ecclesia, story isn't that great, the characters are extremely forgettable, but the game has plenty of schizokino, looks great and the gameplay loop is pretty alright. Opalo and Unbreakable Ties have their issues but they're really good, Realidea is a fantastic albeit really easy game and Reminiscencia is a really fun roguelike. Revival is apparently also really good. Bizarre is alright, Atlas is great and there's that one fangame I forgot the name of that's SMT inspired. There is a fair bit of spickino, but as of recently with shit like Royal, Old World Dawn, that fucking dogshit Undertale/Pokemon fangame and a few others, it really feels like the quality dropped off a cliff. >>22670 Thanks bro.

>>22669 it's happened a few times where they invest everything into the art or the gimmick and don't put as much effort in the gameplay. odyssey's a good example. >>22671 elena's still working on that arceus game and the platinum remake, which is...50% done, fuck. are you thinking of awakening?

>>22672 That's true yeah, but the Arceus thing is more of a passion project and it will likely not be very long. The Platinum remake though, holy fuck that's been in production for ages. Yup, I was thinking of Awakening.

>>22637 [laughs in Regice] >>22640 >>22647 >>22652 GG

>>22668 Missed this one. GG bro.

>>22674 thanks bro

he says fuck two sentences later, so this was a blatant attack against the player. if he didn't deserve to go to jail before he does now

can you actually join the serpents if you play nice with them or does it just make later sections easier

>>22674 Dragalge seems especially funny on this field, fitting that the Mega gives people cancer. >>22675 Thanks bro. >>22678 GG, and nah, not really, there's like 1 quest that lets you work for the Serpents and it requires you completely shafting Hayley, so it isn't worth it.

I need to removed the distorted field from the game, holy fucking mother of shitcode, it's literally unplayable, especially this chapter, it was already one of the worst fields in the game, it already sucked balls, but now I can't even play the game during the sections this dogshit pops up, it's absurd. I was already getting convinced of wanting to rework the fields in this dogshit game, but my patience is going out the fucking door with this nonsense.

>>22679 thanks bro. >>22680 is it when you use certain moves or is it just everything about the field that's broken?

>>22681 Everything, I literally can't do anything without getting error messages, I'm not even playing on debug either, the game just refuses to work while on distorted field.

Where's the code for fields in Empire? I can't get past the last fight in the (((Origen))) building in Illyria and I don't want to try opening up the regular launcher to play this dogshit at like 3 FPS. I'll say it, I prefer dealing with Chaparral than ever seeing D*storted niggery for the rest of my life. Also- https://www.reddit.com/r/pokemonmemes/comments/1os09yl/i_can_understand_why_design_choices_were_made_and/ >Gamefreak fucked up so bad that even redditors are disgusted with how awful this shit is

I was so happy when I saw pay day because you had to give money to scammers to get this then I remembered how octo gutted it into no longer being infinite money >>22641 >>22674 Thanks (didn't see the first one at first)

I went back to polaris and now that I stopped to listen to the music isn't the music in the skating ring this song from madoka? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bzlHPlq8hIs Went to take a look in the files and yeah it is, time to start looking at any possible things he took from it

I see child kidnapping will become a running theme

Oh hey it's mr always put late being given early

>ultra beast technology >get a Kubfu Weird, also how long until I get the item or whatever to evolve it into Urshifu? And is the choice between Single and Rapid strike something I have to do in advance or anything?

Got stressed due to Empire not working and got saddled up with a ton of chores, took a bit of time to try and rework a lot of the shittiest fakemon in Empire, I took the shitty rage inducing streamerbait game reference (Getting Over It) and tried to rework the concept with a sketch, reused the brain and brawn idea to make a slime that flexes it's brain wrinkle like patterns to look like muscles, the pot in the sprite that was clearly stolen from from Sinistcha was reworked into a skull, since the point I tried to make with this thing is that it's a a wimpy slime trying to look tough, and this thing still works with the Psychic/Fighting dualtype I think. I'll try to polish it later to see if I can improve on it, my drawfagging skills are still really fucking rusty. >>22684 At least it isn't like it is in PALF, where your Pokemon steals money from you instead to attack, I found out the hard way thanks to my Galarian Meowth. >>22685 Very likely, Octavius also uses quite a few FF tracks, Octopath and also in the newest chapter all the songs are Death Note tracks. >>22688 It's super fucking late in the game, it's locked behind getting a move, I think it's either level 78 or 87. I don't get why the fuck Octavius made Urshifu a UB, he legitimately does not understand Pokemon and tries to change the lore in the most retarded ways possible.

>>22689 >locked behind a move How do you choose between Rapid Strike and Single Strike then? Is it if you have one move you evolve into one of the forms?

>>22690 Octavius is painfully fucking autistic and gave Urshifu only one form, you also only evolve it by teaching it......Dynamic Punch....of all things? Autistic subhuman can't even code Unseen Fist or Wicked Blow.

>>22691 >only one form >went to check and it was single strike >now I lost out on Urshifu because the water form isn't implemented and Gliscor because it got changed to poison I wonder what is next type change/form removal will fuck me over because of the Water/Ground lock

>>22692 You can open the PBS, go to Pokemon, search the ones you're looking for, which is a bit hard, due to Octavius completely fucking up the dex, but you can change their types and the ways by which they evolve, I've already did so on my run by returning every single pseudo, Gyarados a few others to their normal evolution methods. Respecting Octavius' dogshit decisions is not worth it. As to Urshifu Rapid Strike, you'll have to add it into the game as a new Pokemon, and then edit the details, and then also edit a new evolution into Kubfu's file. It's much easier to pull all of this if you have Visual Studio Code, but you can do it normally without it, then after all that you just need to open up debug, go all the way to the bottom to information editors I think and then you compile the game. I am equally as furious over a lot of retarded changes in this game that make no fucking sense, Octavius is legitimately the most autistic subhuman I've ever seen.

he seems like the kind of person to wear sandals with socks. I would love a mod that makes him talk normal. I know what he's saying and him talking like that is part of his character but it's aggravating to read, like florin

I had to straight up skip the last fight in the weather center due to how fucking badly things were crashing, spent a good few hours trying to understand why the crash was even happening in the first place, but it didn't make any sense. Farfetch'd and Lairon made quick work of Cheyenne and Braixen and Gatr destroyed Demetrius. >>22694 GG. Soyren is a midwit character, he talks in overtly flowery language that has no real meaning just to appear eloquent and smart, which he most certainly isn't, the fact he's Octavius' first self-insert, or at least one can infer he is is telling what kind of person Octavius is.

>"There's no way a normal person could just mindwipe a bunch of people and compromise electronic devices!" What are Psychic and Ghost types? What is a Rotom?

Demetrius' new expressions make this scene hit all the harder.

>Trying to outright say Virgil is the culprit for Cheyenne's death punishes you Thanks Octavius.

>>22695 >>22696 gg, and thanks bro. multiple self inserts in one story is telling in itself. lots of parallels with reborn. I didn't think of it before, but how do her earrings make the cameras not notice the mc? I can only think of the possibility that the earring's power is based around attention and/or popularity instead of adoration, which would fit the cliche "popular girl hates all of the positive attention, falls for person that is indifferent/even negative towards her" that cheyenne acts like, and you could stretch it to it working on electronics I guess.

>Look at the dex for a bit >Ampharos' line had it's stats nerfed to shit >Ampharos is now a stone evolution Siiiiiiiiiiiigh............. >>22699 Thanks bro. I'd say less like Reborn and more so like Rejuvenation at the rate things have been going. Don't question how Regalia work, they just do chuddie, fuck Pokemon, Pokemon aren't important, le hecking ebin super speshil machines are all that's important. I swear it's just like with Rejuvenation, Jan and Octavius are obsessed with completely shafting Pokemon.

>spend 20 minutes trying the quinn fight, then an hour looking into finding out how to make it so the player can control the teammate >rpgmaker itself isn't helpful in that regard >reborn has all of it's scripts hidden so I can't see how they do it with the 19.5 password >both the essentials wiki and reddit are only concerned with making follower pokemon/trainers, can't find anyone asking about this issue >have to deal with soren either getting absolutely raped within seconds or soren living but choosing the absolute worst moves possible I shouldn't have fucking tried

>>22701 Coding autists are asshats who don't like sharing their work with people or are needlessly cryptic about it. Saddest thing is that a lot of the best tools for cheesing fights like this with stuff like Hellfire is no longer an option because those got nerfed really hard because Octavius' ass got hurt people were using those to beat his shitty self-insert.

>>22695 >>22694 >>22640 >>22628 GG to all of these. God what a horrible week kek, and this week I have midterms (which will probably be easier) That being said, I can probably start today...desu, not really sure if I want to do Empire now, even despite what I said earlier kek. Just thinking of running through Octavius autism again feels too soon

>>22703 thanks bro. you may be shocked, but I wouldn't be opposed to dropping empire for something better, as difficult as that may be to find.

If you guys are going to keep re-running suffering anyway, you may as well play a game that is built around it. Like Emerald Rogue or something, at least doing the challenges on Brutal is relatively varied and fun. Just don't fall for Pokerogue gacha slop.

>>22703 Thanks bro and yeah, it's been miserable for me too, constant paranoia due to the cyclone, had to spend nearly 2 days fixing damages afterwards and then I have to endure Empire refusing to work and just being a gigantic piece of shit, I got so annoyed that I spent more time reverting Empire to look more like regular Pokemon and drawing edits for the dogshit sprites than I actually spent playing the game. Can't say I blame you tbh, Empire has a special way of draining my want to keep playing it as well. Hopefully your midterms go well bro, I might have to go back to university in a while myself, might finally get my paleontology degree. >>22705 The difference between games like Empire and kaizoslop is that at least with Empire for as dogshit as it is, there's some entertaining aspects to it, kaizoslop is just pain and these scheisse mods never add anything worthwhile to the base game anyhow either.

>>22706 These aren't kaizoslop, and Emerald Rogue is actually surprisingly decently designed.

>next death battle is Ash vs Yugi kek, this'll be fun. also holy fucking SHIT their newest episode is cool, god I love dante and I'm also extremely fucking glad he lost, would have been mad if they gave another win to the obviously weaker character because he's popular >>22704 >>22706 Thanks Orevald. Yeah, I was probably planning on playing this since it seems pretty funny, if you guys want to join on https://www.pokecommunity.com/threads/pok%C3%A9mon-arcana-force.538420/ >>22705 Emrogue is very fun and quality, but doesn't really scratch the weird autism and schizo writing itch this place was first built around

>>22705 idk how an lp could be structured around emerald rogue. pokerogue has a solid ending point, but it's so unbelievably long. >>22708 there's multiple things about this game that scare me, but he has ape escape regionals so I'm down

>>22707 I'm so tired that I thought you said Emerald Kaizo, I wouldn't mind playing Emerald Rogue I guess, but not now I think, I'm kinda burned out on roguelikes after playing some Steam games with a few friends, also my luck is genuinely fucking awful, especially in roguelikes. >>22708 I honestly cannot imagine Ash vs Yugi not being extremely retarded, I think the last episode I bothered to watch was Bowser vs Eggman, because the track record before it was kinda fucking retarded and the episodes that came after it were similarly stupid, I think Machamp vs Goro was also really fun. >Spoiler Kinda surprised given how batshit insane DMC lore gets. >Arcana Force I wonder how far the Yugioh references go, I don't think it's for me, games looks pretty autistic. >Goes up to level 200 I wonder how fucking bad the bloat is gonna get now that Gamefreak is officially going past level 100 in fangames? Also I dunno if you saw the trailer, but it almost feels like Gamefreak unironically ripped off the New World from Reborn. You even have a little girl (who's obviously Diantha's daughter) being the central focus of the story.

>>22710 Dante vs Clive was fucking kino, I'd at least recommend watching it just for the fight. And yeah, Final Fantasy bullshit is more busted than DMC They will likely fuck up Ash vs Yugi, but ah well >Also I dunno if you saw the trailer Didn't even realize they already began announcing the DLC given the...muted reaction on halfchan and here, that feels rather shameless. It's definitely a thing that exists kek, I don't even feel much of anything towards it >>22709 >this game that scare me Kek, same I'll start in a bit

>>22703 >>22708 Welcome back bro. >Arcana Force Naming a game after a pseudo-FTK that has no ability to play through disruption or go second but wins the game on the spot if it goes first and the opponent has no interactions is a hell of a title choice.

>>22708 Yeah, but how many times are you guys going to replay Empire and Rejuvenation and shitty mods thereof? >>22709 Probably not for individual ER runs, but there's meta-progression and challenge completion that merits discussion.

>>22711 I'll definitely watch it later. Yeah, ZA sold bad, in a lot of places, Gamefreak is desperate for money, even though they've barely wasted ANY while making the recent titles. The takeaways from the DLC are, Mega Chimecho which is pretty alright, they finished Baxcalibur's design and there's no way in hell this doesn't end up being one of the most busted Pokemon in existence, someone fucked Diantha and Gamefreak said yet again "fuck Feraligatr specifically", because they genuinely hate this Pokemon and made the Mega to be a humiliation ritual to spite people. >>22712 >Arcana Force FTK The World? >>22713 There really isn't much in terms of games right now anon, besides maybe Empire, because there's a piece of dialogue in the code that hints we might get chapter 14 this year still. Rejuvenation's update isn't dropping this year, Desolation's update will probably drop somewhere around February or March of next year if I had to guess, it seems pretty close to getting finished, but it remains to be seen. And the well of spickino kinda dried up recently.

Wait......something just struck me.......this is the second Pokemon DLC that BTFOs yuritroons......huh......

I looked at the rewards and joining the thiefs guild would give me a mon I can use but after a guy really just said "We are Batman" I can't help but join in the detective in laughing at this shit, definitely joining the detectives now >>22703 Thanks

>>22703 >>22708 welcome back, good luck on midterms. there's a part of me that almost feels bad "punching down" on these kind of games that have poor artwork and aren't even being touched by the main fangame streamers. here's hoping it's more substantial than first impressions. >>22706 wasn't Empire the one that had the joe merrick cameo kek

>People have been running some damage calcs and tests with Mega Dragalge >This fucker has so much natural bulk that it can eat Dragapult's Draco Meteors >Is bulky enough to eat Earthquakes from quite a few Pokemon >Hits incredibly hard in return >Is likely going to get Regenerator when it goes Mega according to it's description Dragalge GODS.........it seems we've VVON...... >>22716 It's a shame too, because the thieves guild are a bunch of literal commie faggots, yet their rewards tend to be a bit better, the fakemon they give you as a reward here is really fucking good. >>22717 >Joe Merrick cameo What? I think I'd remember seeing him if that was the case. Might be another game. I remember I joked a lot about Hardy from Deso being Lilith's Joe Merrick.

>>22718 You weren't kidding with the literal part

got busy with other shit, so I'll start tomorrow kek >>22712 thanks >ability to play through disruption or go second but wins the game on the spot if it goes first and the opponent has no interactions one of these days I'll understand yugioh lingo kek >>22714 eh...ZA seems like it's selling well man (unfortunately). it'll shoot up even more once we start getting closer to December, I imagine >>22713 To be fair, regarding Rejuv I have tried to make a point to only replay when a new shitty mod comes out, so it's not JUST the same thing. but yeah, we do replay the shit games too often >>22717 thanks bro. it does look pretty bad, but honestly all I ask for is it to be entertaining. I think I (and probably the other tripfags here) tend to go subconsciously easier on the more obscure games like dark light or whatever than vanguard which obviously has a huge community following anyway kek

>Ended up getting caught doing research on fossils >Got so distracted that I entirely forgot I wanted to get some progress on Empire for the day Welp, can't say I'm all too bummed up about not playing through Empire, but I do want to at least check what the Rob battles are and where they're found. >>22720 Siiiiiiiigh........I really fucking wished ZA caught more flak, I saw some faggot jewtubers even going out of their way to defend the flat walls with no texture and pretty much no buildings you can enter across all of Lumiose, and the map is fucking incredibly tiny too, which makes this even worse, I even saw one fag getting butthurt mad people brought up the Nintendo 64 esque trees in SWSH when talking about how awful the textures or lackthereof are in ZA. Hopefully Arcana Force turns out be the fun kind of schizophrenic at least.

>>22720 >>22721 za actually got a higher user rating on meta then scarlet has, which is shocking. I don't get how people could defend it, it's a disease

>>22722 It really fucking is, for what few things the game does right there's just so much wrong, I didn't bring it up much, but one of the shittiest things I had to deal with in ZA was the awful fucking pokeball detection, sometimes you'd hit a Pokemon right in the face and the Pokemon would go through them, the range of said pokeballs was also mind numbingly shit, sometimes being like 5 meters away from the Pokemon would be enough for the pokeball to not hit them as well. The game also plays like ass and feels blatantly unfinished, the sidequests are horribly dull, there's jackshit to do besides the ZA Royale and collecting colorful screws to give back to the simps for rewards, even SV and PLA had actual fucking sidequests with interesting content and good rewards, ZA can't even do that, one of the few funny ones I remember was the Starmie cult and the quest actually had a good reward in an Eviolite, and the other one was Pikami and his absurdly strong Pikachu, the problem with these sidequests was also that they had the most random times imaginable to become available, and most of them had no justification for being as late into the game as they were.

>>22666 This was solved in Reborn. >>22714 >Gamefreak is desperate for money, even though they've barely wasted ANY while making the recent titles. Part of me is wondering how much they get from the pokebillions. It genuinly can't be this low right?

>nintendo is opening a theme park based around KANTOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO well their money is officially recouped, infinite funding for more awful shit

>Decide to do a last check on Empire's bullshit before getting to play it again >Power goes out for a bit due to this game being cursed >Actually get around to it >Ting-Lu was added to the game has 120 speed now >Koraidon is Fighting/Grass >Doesn't actually learn a single Grass move >Several good and popular moves from Pokemon were removed, like Shadow Ball, Fire Blast and and such >Several Pokemon now don't have moves above 60 power because of this I genuinely cannot help myself but to utterly despise this game and Octavius for being such a demented subhuman. >>22724 The difference is that Reborn devs despite being autistic troons, are actually competent what they do most of the time. It probably won't be, Pokemon literally can't fail no matter how dogshit it gets. >>22726 Welcome to Pokemon, the fucking budget wasted on ZA was fucking minuscule, the reason we didn't get news or trailers or anything for so long was because Gamefreak literally couldn't be arsed to waste more money with promo material, or making the game for that matter, they charge triple A prices for their dogshit but don't waste even a 10th of the amount of money other companies use to make their big games, it's genuinely absurd.

>>22720 >>22721 >>22722 >>22723 >>22724 Remember when people rejoiced that Pokemon is finally skipping a year for game releases?

I forgot to brought up earlier, but Gamefreak is very likely announcing gen 10 on the 19th of November, funnily enough the same data we're bound to get some scheisse on GTA 6 too, probably also some other news on the DLC, we might get to look at 2 new Megas, I love autism cat, Heatran, Golisopod and Golurk, and I have a soft spot for Scovillain and Tatsugiri, so I sincerely hope they don't end up being shit. I think Wagie said he really liked Staraptor, hopefully the Mega ends up being cool too. Mega Darkrai's description makes it sound super fucking cool, but the stat distribution is so awful that I have 0 hopes for this poor bastard. >>22728 ZA has been ready since 2024 and the DLC was supposed to launch during the summer of 2025, we know from the Teraleak these both got delayed, I think because of the switch 2. So yeah that gap year didn't do shit, because Gamefreak sure as hell can't be bothered to put passion and care into their games. I hope Beast of Reincarnation flops really hard to teach them a lesson.

>>22729 Probably not a good idea to hope their experiment flops so they go back to safe and monotone Pokemon production. Their other games have already been flopping for a long while.

>>22730 >Mfw gen 8 goes to shit because Gamefreak is working on 2 dogshit side projects that literally no one cares about >One of which is so obscure and has a name so retarded that no one remembers it >The other is Little Town Flop The shittiest thing is that if Gamefreak could, they would turn Pokemon fully into some dogshit mobile garbage, and they keep relentlessly pushing for mobileslop, I still don't know if the Battle Frontier in Hoenn was truly Masuda's fault, since Ohmori directed the game and Masuda was nothing more than a figurehead after XY, but that speech is basically word for word what the head figures of Gamefreak think.

>>22731 They already do that since gen 1 with multi-version bullshit. Pass Powers in gen 5 and the like since then are the more traditional energy incentive. Most spinoffs were turned into mobile slop. Now even home consoles are encouraged to be carried around. Where do you think this is going?

>>22732 Fucking grim, truly. At this point I am genuinely convinced Gamefreak doesn't allow for spinoffs anymore, I mean they cancelled that really cool Riders game in spite of how seemingly far into development that was, entirely out of spite and envy, because they know people would demand better games if we started seeing more spinoffs with great animations, models and maps. If only Genius Sonority was still allowed to make anything, a sequel to Colosseum with a more developed Orre would drive people nuts, sadly Gamefreak seemingly despises them.

>>22733 Just wait for Pokemon Mystery Dungeon GO.

>>22734 To be fair, playing GO and walking around certain parts of the town I used to live in truly felt like a Mystery Dungeon game kek. Even Mastersex is bound by a chain on what they can do, because everything needs several approval stamps from Gamefreak. Gamefreak is so anal when it comes to allowing them to do things that Lance got an Arc suit (basically a blessing from Arceus) and that's meant to elevate his Pokemon to their maximum potential, Cynthia and Steven also got one and their aces went Mega, in spite of Mega Dragonite already being a thing by the time said suit came out, and being a perfect opportunity to do marketing on the new Megas, Gamefreak said "fuck that!".

>>22734 tbf I would install that on my phone

>>22735 unrelated, but mastersex forcing people to wait years for summer cynthia only for it to be as bland as it gets is sad. At least SS Lusamine is hot.

alright, time to D-D-D--D-DD-D-D--D-DDo this shit maybe yugioh bros here know what this title screen is referencing, if anything. >evil laugh when you hit 'start' on the intro screen sigh... >>22722 >>22721 i imagine a big part of it is SV's disaster launch, that really drove down a lot of early ratings in comparison to ZA which at least seems like it runs okay >>22729 kek, really seems they're going all in on making new megas. there's going to be a new megacario and megachomp then? >>22728 i assumed honestly that it just meant gen 10 was also in development at the same time and that just means it'll get rushed out next year

there was a short personality quiz beforehand. I hope choosing to try swatting a fly with my shoe doesn't get me a bad starter kek

idk if it's always shiny, but my choices got me dewpider. I've never used it before, but it's ability reduces damage from fire type moves so that seems good.

>>22737 That is true, but as someone who thinks Skyla is really cute, I am still very happy about that summer event. >>22738 Nothing about it seems to reference Sartorius or the Light of Destruction, GX is so retarded sometimes that you'd think you're on a drug trip if I tried to explain half the shit that happens during that season like a nigga turning into a dinosaur and together with a buff alien with a massive ass destroys a satellite to save the world. Yeah ZA runs better, but the fucking map is a joke with barely textures, so you be the judge on that "quality" stamp. Yup, Absol, Lucario and Garchomp are getting new Megas, people are saying "Z" Megas instead of X or Y. We already know the full list and have descriptions and stats on Zeraora, Darkrai and Heatran. Needless to say Mega Darkrai is a bad joke, Mega Heatran is whatever the fuck and Mega Zeraora is broken, if it gets a Fighting type added in, it's going to be especially broken. There's also the list for the DLC bosses and there was also a list for important characters, besides Korrina there was a character name that was seemingly related to Diantha, lo and behold we got Ansha and then there's a "???" name, which faggots are losing their minds speculating on who that could be, the fact Cynthia's ace is getting a new Mega is making some people think she could come back.....or maybe.....it's HIM..... Some autists went even further and brought up that Silver was called "???" before you told the police officer what his real name was, which has led to even more schizo theorizing. >>22740 It hits like a truck on steroids with Water moves an is bulky enough to eat a ton of incredibly powerful hits, really fun mon.

>>22741 Forgot to post Skyla.

>start game >get instantly called away for retarded shit alright, time to start properly >>22739 >>22740 sigh...nice roll, at least >>22741 >darkrai lost that much speed holy kek any confirmation on the abilities? that might shake things up

now this an (((interesting))) problem to ask for the start of game quiz

one of those games where the early routes can have starters show up. can't really use mudkip or piplup, but at least I got torchic >>22743 >>22744 sorry bro, didn't mean to get ahead like this kek. didn't get that question, I think I got >weather you prefer >what does an adventurer need: courage/knowledge/calm and patience >a mosquito flies at you, what do you do: leave it be, insecticide, swat with your shoe?

i didn't know 'dennis' was a kind of tree >>22745 nah it's fine, i just blame the retard who started bugging me with bullshit kek >>a mosquito flies at you, what do you do: leave it be, insecticide, swat with your shoe? kek i'm surprised it didn't say 'a buzzwole flies at you' or something

oh boy, this might be a fun one

>>22743 Nope, no abilities since it's ZA, but the description saying "nothing can escape it's evil eye" might mean it gets something like No Guard or Shadow Tag or a mix of the two, No Guard Dark Void would explain why the fuck Darkrai lost so much speed.

nigger you can't be FUCKING SERIOUS

>>22749 oh bro...you got a rival fight right outside

there we go, that's a bit better. jesus christ >>22750 kek, i just reset, didn't feel like dealing with that >>22748 ah, right, forgot. well, wonder what abilities they'll get when transferred over to mainline

>mega audino >chansey >level 10 lopunny my team went from level 10 to level 17. bellsprout dominated with growth and sleep powder into vine whip, but wow what a start. the gym leader was THE nurse joy in a pokemon center themed gym >>22751 gg. wait it just gave you an evo?

what is this supposed to mean >if you want to be a lass is she not already a girl...? >>22752 KEK. vinceGODS.... GG thobeit. that's a fast first gym, i guess if there's 18 they're gonna go by quick >wait it just gave you an evo yep kek. i wonder if you could get a full evo from it or what the limits are

sigh...

>shocked you didn't use a mega, trainer >wait, what do you mean you don't have one? >oh...right, first gym. here you go >>22753 thanks bro. I assume they mean she looks more like a different female trainer class then a Lass. or she's an ugly whore

>CHARMANDERINO catchable on the first route kek >>22755 it's a nice gesture, but is a mega ring this early really gonna help? with no stones or mons you can use it on?

>>22746 Dennis is morning wood.

okay, i think i see this chick's deal i can't wait for the inevitable NTR arc D E S U nii

>>22756 she did give out the audino and lopunny stone, but I didn't see a buneary anywhere yet

first regional, bizarre typing for it

>TR ew, really why are non-reusable TMs coming back to fangames, feels like i've seen this quite a bit now >>22759 to be fair, mega lopunny at this stage sounds fucking stupid, but so is i guess the first gym using a mega

>>22749 Fucking lmao. >>22751 >>22752 GG. >Megas this early >Stacked team with evolved Pokemon Good show of restraint. >>22753 >Randomly bringing up the BW2 edgelord rival like he's popular in-universe or something What the fuck is this writing?

???? >>22762 thanks. they just brought up hugh like he was a 'legend of unova' or something weird

>not even triple arrow one literal job

>you can't heal before this fight, i assume she only heals you if you fail to beat her >your team does literally jump like 6 levels midfight great design kek

>>22762 thanks bro. remember, this game also goes up to lvl 200 >>22765 gg. I forgot to mention, but you can eat at the restaurant for 100 bucks before beating the gym.

>a city of elegance and good customs yeah that fits good old genghis khan

alright, time to continue >big ass fucking maps >repels are really expensive at this point sigh... i don't even know where to go kek. here's town map also i like how every battle theme in this game is an epic rock song straight out of an anime >>22766 thanks. no biggie, she wasn't that hard, at least

>the path forward through is through a thin line of trees that's kind of easily missable and the game sort of points you at a cave nearby that you just wander around in until you realize it's a red herring neat. what did he mean by this?

>Every single fight here is now even more unbelievably annoying and takes a page outta the swamp with abusing herbs to delete PP KILL YOURSELF. >>22765 GG and absurd fight design, funny how ZA also pulled the idea of a battle autist nurse Joy.

>game crashed from ai using double team time to save every minute >>22770 gg. she didn't always have the herbs? fucking octavius

why even sell them at this point >>22770 GG and thanks. that place already was a weird PP stall shitfest before the swamp even happened, it's not surprising

>trainer school next to the bug type gym gives you sunny day and a heat rock bug gyms can't catch a break

>>22771 >>22772 Thanks bros, nope, she didn't have herbs before, genuinely psychopatic behavior on Octavius' part.

that's a particularly gross portrait the towns in this big are a bit too big, hopefully the town design will get a bit more concise as the game goes on as for his team >scizor >mega pinsir >vespiquen
