Like holy shit, I did not expect a half a month stay in a cell with you when this finale arc started.

We really need some time apart after this.

Expand

Its all apart of Melia master plan to get you to starting liking her so she can steal credit without you complaining or possibly going on a rampage

Quote

Who at this point, I believe were actually aliens from another world but it turns out WE were the aliens all along and Earth originally belonged to them?

Expand

Honestly this theory is not too farfetched, especially cause of what v13 revealed

Quote

Expand

Yeah that just about confirms the theory of her being someone from the sean gang

Ep19 did have me like Hardy more, seeing as the whole time Titania and Shaphira were just giving lectures about how much the world sucks, yet it doesn’t affect Hardy and he’s just happy with his girlfriend.

Expand

Ah, a fan of Hardy. I see you are a cultured individual. Honestly, he's one of the few characters I like in Reborn.

Anyway, replying to Derogatory's reply to my replys;

Oh. OH. THOSE kind of fangmes. Ergh, thanks a lot Internet...

Pfft. You Europeans don't all look the same? Hah! How prespos....pespost...presposterous! Next thing you'll tell me that not all Europeans understand and/or want to speak English.

Terminally online people making fools out of themselves is one thing, but when they think they're smart and be a condescending ass is another thing. Like claiming all art is political, and says we're stupid for enjoying a simple art. And even unironically equating Thomas with slavery.

In 2023.

Ohoho, but it gets even better. This..."genius" went even further, and claim that trains are political! I'm guessing the joy I get whenever I see a train passing through is political?!?! God, these politically obssesed people. God, I legitimitely hate "Death of the Author" . God, I'm not even 50 and my blood is already rising high.

Then again, I was arguing with someone online. I kinda brought that to myself.

Can't conquer death though.

The most rich and powerful man in the world can still be killed by slipping in the shower.

Expand

Pfft. Then just be immortal. Problem solved!

On a serious note, but in my opinion, if (weirdo) billionares think they found a way to be immortal, I'm pretty sure they would do whatever they can to achieve this supposed key to immortality. Even if they have to kill a bunch of children or something.

In fact, I'm pretty sure there are some villains in fiction who have this kind of motive. Can't really recall who...

But they can still die from a banana peel, so in the end, it's worthless.

On to the chapter:

I know I said this multiple times but I despise this arc. Because of Turd and Stain. Because this arc happens because some brain dead gijinkas wanting to teach a lesson. That's it. That's 98% of this arc.

A lesson that's meaningless.

Even superheroes who try to save everyone( because they're, well, superheroes) care waaay more about their loved ones than some frigging rando they meet for the literal first time.

And I still don't like their names. I know using Latin names is cliche, but that would be a better alternative than "Timpea and Spacea". Or better yet, I suggest some names from my language.

Don't worry, I choose good names this time. Like Waktu and Dimensi

...

...That's all I can think of. I could go for "Angkasa" but that refers to Space, as in the space with stars and planets and everything.

Remember when you were supposed to find out about Aelita's past? Instead, this arc decides to waste it time on a boring ass timeline. Thankfully though, Aelita's past did get revealed in the end.

Oh sorry. Did I say Thankfully? I meant Shockingly.

Because WHAT THE HECK is that backstory?!!! Like...damn. Sheesh. If there's one thing I'm looking forward from this arc, it's your reaction to Aelita's..."birth".

....Either v13 rewrote Madame X's dialogue, or my brain just shut out the fact that a TERRORIST is giving advice on how to sacrifice people. Terrorist, people who are usually well known to kill people and claim it's a "necessary sacrifice" for the "greater good".

It's like an animal abuser giving advice to euthenise a dying pet. It's the correct advice in this situation, but from the worst person possible.

Eugh...I never like the whole "touching an alternate timeline self destroys the universe" trope. If someone from the future touch their past self, then yeah the universe would logically explode. But I thought this princess is just Melia's alternate self? Why should that affect anything? In my opinion, it's no different from touching your self from an alternate dimension.

Then again, what do I know about time travel plots?

Then again, when does time travel ever makes sense?

I was hoping that Madame X was secretly hungry all the time, but pretend otherwise to keep her edgy look. Because that means she's suffering. And I love seeing enemies suffering, mwahaha....

The closest thing we get to dynamic Pokemon battles is Pokken, maybe? I think? But God, Pokken looks so cool...I wish I could get one. And this is coming from someone who don't really give a damn about fighting games.

Hey, jumping off high things is cool!

As long as you don't make a fool of yourself in the process...

I on the other hand don't understand what makes Dracula scary, especially in the modern age? So it can suck your blood, so? It lightphobic, just blast light into his eyes. If it can blind humans, it sure as heck can blind wimpy draculas who could only drink blood. What a loser. I'm more afraid of Raja Bersiong, a character in my local folklore.

Unlike Dracula, Raja Bersiong drinks blood because...it's tasty. That's...pretty much it. And he's not afraid of light, especially since my country is on the Earth's Equator. Sure, Bersiong doesn't have any mystical powers...But he's a king of a kingdom with loads of soldiers behind him. If he wants blood, he just order his soldiers to kill people. Problem solved! Also, his story originated much earlier than Dracula, so he's not a ripoff of Dracula.

Points for originality!

I'm surprised that, according to Time Master Eon, you can't just cut someone's finger and use it to bypass security? Dang, there goes my future criminal plans...

I assure you, I'm totally joking.

Hmm...that girl in the painting seems to be black.

Even better~

...I think I may have a certain fetish...

...

I'm also not a cunt.

That's another difference we have, cunt.

Perfect summary of Villain Sue there.

Being as irritating and ridiculous as possible REALLY takes them out of their comfort zone.

I wish there were more heroes who do stuff like these. The enemies are being try hard edgelords, yet the hero keeps going "LOL, XOXOXO"

I hope she isn't Gijinka Regigigas. Because Regigigas sucks...

...

...Unless Jan plans to give that thing a Mega or something?

My thoughts about gen 9:

WHHHHHHHHHHYYYYY does it stand up?!?! Why....

I'm still gonna choose it though. I'm bias to cats. And Proean, depsite being nerf. I would have love unnerfed Protean, but for balance sakes, it's probably for the best.

Although, there's another starter who's also contending for my heart.

I don't usually care for Fire types. And Ghost types. And Crocodiles. But for some reason, I love this cool singing croc. His Signature move is so awesome...

I have nothing else to say about Quaquaval, except agreeing with everything you said.

Maybe that's why they gave the Kamen Rider Tinted lens? Sometimes, GameFreak does use their brain cells.

Lokix is so cool though. I know this is a pipe dream, but as a Kamen Rider fan, I wish we could get more colour variations for this Bug of Justice. There's so many options to choose from...

Also, I'm probably looking too deeply into this, but I like that it also gets the Dark type, considering that most Kamen Rider origins tend to be dark. And most Kamen Rider series can get rather dark, despite being for kids. Don't believe me? Here:

https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/NightmareFuel/KamenRider

Oh. My. God. Clodsire...IS SO CUTE!!!AWRTFHTNTNTLook at it's derp face! I just want to squish this thing, and make him my body pillow. It's been years since I last had one...

Why couldn't Arboliva be cute...

A defensive Rock Pokemon, that's quite a rarity. Love it's design. Love it's ability. Love it's signature move. I just love him entirely.

I think people like Armarouge and Ceruledge because of the resemblance to the MegaMan Battle Network series. I can certainly see the resemblance. Their stats and ability are kinda bleh, but their moves are pretty good.

But with Terastilization, they became even better....I think.

Kingambit knows that if he ever choose to stand up, our eyes would not be able to withstand how cool he is. But seriously though, I rarely, if ever, use Bisharp but I certainly didn't expect him to get an evolution. Congrats!

Now when are we getting a Rook version? Horse? Knight? Queengambit?

I too am not really fond of Paradox Pokemon. Considering they all have practically the same abilities. If they had different abilities, they might be more interesting.

I'm fond of the alternate Volcarona's though.

Can someone explain why a region based on Spain has Chinese products? Did Spain invade China at some point or something?

...

...That's their lore?! Why GameFreak, why do you always make messed up lore...

I never knew that was a legitimate trope. Touching past selves=destroyed sure but never an alternate selves version of that.

My best explanation for this is because this is still an alternate timeline, just a destroyed version of it. So in a bizarre leap of logic princess!Melia is the future version of base Melia, who only exists because of a time gear necklace.

It also really depends on what one considers an alternate universe. Do alternate timelines count as that despite the fact that it's merely a branching path from your own home timeline? Or does this hypothetical person only count 'true' alternate universes, such as what Spiderverse does? Going by what rejuvenation goes with, alternate timeline ≠ alternate universe. Maybe. This is the only arc that really touches upon this concept so hard to say how it will look in future episodes.

DerogatoryTrainer · February 3, 2023

Here we are gang.

The penultimate chapter of this Dark Timeline arc.

Feels like just yesterday when we arrived, doesn't it?

...

Okay enough with the fake pleasantries.

We both know why you're really here.

Good to see you’re back, was starting to get worried something bad happened.

Expand

Nah...just good ol' Sean being lazy as usual.

Best indicator of something bad having happened is if it's been more than a month since I was "Last Seen" on the Nuzlocke Forum.

On 1/3/2023 at 6:26 AM, Bluedude said:

Have you played through all of Ep19 of Reborn? They really did add a bunch of stuff for your player to do in the post game, a crazy amount.

Expand

I haven't actually.

I got to Victory Road but then thought I should maybe start again to get all the updated stuff and whatnot.

Haven't actually touched it since.

On 1/3/2023 at 6:26 AM, Bluedude said:

I do think it’s really weird that they added sexual abuse into the backstories of some characters. Especially for Shaphira with Connel, it feels like the devs just put it in to give us more reasons to hate him, as if the child torture from before wasn’t enough. It just feels fake.

Expand

It is rather weird. I always thought he was a creep but in like the cold analytical doctor way not that he was an actual rapist.

And it does feel like all the hate is supposed to go towards him and Sirius to distract you from people who deserve it as well.

Like all the people who tried to kill you at one point or another.

Guess "attempted" murder isn't a crime in Reborn.

Ep19 did have me like Hardy more, seeing as the whole time Titania and Shaphira were just giving lectures about how much the world sucks, yet it doesn’t affect Hardy and he’s just happy with his girlfriend.

Expand

Hardy is a simple man with simple desires.

It also helps that he isn't mentally ill like 90% of the cast.

On 1/3/2023 at 6:26 AM, Bluedude said:

As many problems that Rejuvenation has, at least the characters are a lot less miserable than the people in Reborn.

Expand

And a lot more likable.

Like after becoming Champ I can see Rejuvenation Sean sticking around for good and putting his roots down but Reborn Sean?

Does he have anyone he could actually call a friend in that region?

There's a bunch of children, a girl who won't shut up about Kiki, a gay guy and Taka's corpse.

Not very fun.

On 1/3/2023 at 6:26 AM, Bluedude said:

Here’s a fun fact, for a long time I thought your name was pronounced like seam, but with you replace the m with an n. Now I know you say it like Shaun, which makes more sense.

Expand

God what a fucking terrible life I would have led if my name was Seen?

I suppose you got closer than those Taiwanese kids I was friends with in Germany. They thought it was pronounced like Cyan.

But I bet you looooove how long it's taking me to get through it, right?

I started playing for a bit and enjoyed it but it got kinda boring after a while and I haven't played it since.

The classic Derogatory Luck. I knew it was a bad idea without Rose's luck to balance things out.

Expand

I'm waiting for Rejuv to be finished before I give it another chance anyway so in the meantime I'm just along for the ride. You'll probably get to the stuff I haven't played before Jan finishes the game.

Expand

It annoys me to no end that I'll never be able to experience the fully completed version in all it's glory.

Because I doubt once I'm finished that I'd ever be able to play it again.

Doing so with a new and different team would feel...wrong.

Rimworld is the most fun when it's fucking you over and you have to scramble to keep everything together. If you haven't yet try the Randy Random storyteller, he removes the cooldown period that keeps multiple bad things from happening to you colony in succession.

It WAS on Randy Random. All I ever seemed to get was bug attacks and my Slaking's Rhyhorn daughter dying of leprosy or something.

I'll give it another go after I get this chapter up. I could use a break.

It's been five years of this and I still don't know their actual motivation.
Gathering souls, making Shadow Pokemon, creating Dimensional Rifts...what's it all for in the end?
What's keeping her going?

Expand

Dozens of hours into the game and still no clue what the actual plot is. Just Rejuv things.

And then what little of the plot we learn is balls to the wall crazy.

'S a pretty good system.

That's it, that's Rejuvenation in a nutshell. All the time, with everything.

The fact Jan actually put that line in means he's either fucking with us or just extremely oblivious. Not sure which one's worse.

It's the former.

The fucker has GOT to know he's doing it by now.

And he ENJOYS it.

Well I'd argue that those are Chiller's skeletons due to the cause of death being him...

But unfortunately for me the whole "There are no bad Pokemon, just bad Trainers." thing is an actual law in this region.

Pretty much. Though I can't imagine you getting off scot-free either.

Hell, when I think about it, things would probably be even worse for me legally since I can actually understand you lot.

Well at least you have to worry about Chiller then! He'd be downright insulted if they gave credit for his kills to you!

Very true.

He'd be disgusted if he knew that the police would call me a murderer for using my Vanilluxe to freeze people.

I don't think we have to worry about that.

It's masked hero characters that usually end up just being some guy while masked villian character are always famous industrialists or something.

Ugh...this seems like a terrible thing to put in a game. It's easily an instant win button and the villain just looks stupid for not using it.

I hope to GOD there's severe repercussions for using it or that it doesn't transport you through space as well because then what the fuck is the point of doing anything otherwise?

Expand Expand

Near as I remember there don't seem to be any major drawbacks. Which makes the whole thing even worse. I legit think Jan and company didn't think this part of the game through.

It also never fucking comes up after this.

It's weird.

THESE PEOPLE FUCKING KNOW EVERYTHING ABOUT EVERYONE FOR FUCK'S SAKE!

I can keep beating them down over and over again, but like a weed that's been injected with steroids, they keep spreading and I can't do dick to stop it.

And the way this story is fucking going it's looking more and more likely that Team Xen are going to turn out to be well-intentioned extremists or some such shit like that.

Which repulses me since I want them all dead and the more likeable ones imprisoned.

But that's literally just Sharon and Eli.

Expand Expand

Honestly this comes up in a lot of fangames. Desolation, Reborn, Rejuvenation, it always seems like your 10 steps behind the bad guys AT BEST. Like after a certain point how are you even remotely a threat to them?

Also you're just gonna have to accept that last part about well intentioned extremists. Seems to be a common thing for fangames too.

Expand

All they need to do is get arrested one by one until the Evil Team Leader realises how much damage the player has done and stages a jailbreak. That'd be much better than them just walking right past us out the fucking door!

Don't worry. There's going to be at least TWO people in the group that are utterly irredeemable so we can pour all our hate on them.

On 1/10/2023 at 2:29 AM, Dex said:

Yeah their whole plan is incredibly stupid as it is but it gets worse due to that single fucking fact.

Vivian should mean virtually nothing to Melia for her to interfere this much.

But say we accept that Melia's some all-loving heroine with warm sunshine in her heart, there's still a massive difference between Vivian and someone like Venam to her.

That's where the lesson fails in my opinion.

Expand Expand

You know thinking on this now, this whole Vivian Decision probably should have been the players choice. Knowing about her connection to Aelita, Aelita being our best friend, etc

Expand

Nah. This whole thing was meant to be a lesson for Melia, right?

Gotta prioritise the greater good over her own selfish desires and whatnot.

See that wouldn't work on me. I'd get the lesson and learn nothing from it because I still prefer the selfish option.

Also her mom's probably dead. Willing to bet money on that.

Madame X didn't want to change any diapers so she shipped her off.

There was something about she wasn't useful yet. So...Melia has to ripen or something for their plans to work?

Dead, or in a magic rock?

Gotta save up those actions for the right moment I guess.

Honestly I think GameFreak is doing this deliberately now, like one of the new Gym leaders is a rapper. With no sound its all so awkward.

Hahaha actually I think I'd prefer if she never did but the whole MeliaXSean romance still happens so we put her statue in the living room of the home Melia and I raise her kids in.

And every night, you see a single tear fall from the statue.

Give them good positions in your knew dictatorship and they could be happy.

Poor Zira was doomed the second that Aggron came out.

Unlikely. The positions they'd get would be ones they'd probably be going into anyway. Like Aelita becoming Leader of Sheridan or Melia finally opening her fucking gym.

And it's going to be a MOSTLY benevolent dictatorship anyway so they shouldn't complain too much.

Aside from the laws I specifically make to annoy them.

Nah, the run would end at Blacksteeple due to the writer giving up due to not realising how much effort would be needed to complete this.

It'd go something like Madame X stabbing them instead of Nancy and they say some trite shit about telling their friends to go on without them.

As their eyes start to darken their last words are "At least...they'll be safe..."

And the last panel is pure black.

Which then ALSO leaves it up to being continued if the writer feels like it.

Expand Expand

Now THAT is an evil cliffhanger.

It'd be wild if that was the moment you found out the MC was immortal in the actual game. Only slightly less traumatic than what actually happens!

Yeah she's just doing her whole "hoisting the dead body above her head" thing and suddenly it kicks her in the face.

Would be way cooler than taking a fucking lava bath.

Alas, common sense is the rarest Pokemon of all...

I imagine her weird armor would protect her from any blows we'd land but it'd still be satisfying to bash her head in with a 2x4 even if it was mostly ineffective.

Expand

Yeah I'd doubt it would be that easy. But hell its worth a shot.

Definitely great stress relief too like a punching bag.

I'd find it incredibly funny if we completely overwhelm her with our makeshift weapons. Like she can't deal with it at all.

Because realistically, who's she ever actually fought with her sword that wasn't at a major disadvantage from not having a weapon themselves? Grunts, Nancy, Alexandra's Mother. All unarmed.

Hey your masochism is your own business.

She can't be Evil Veronica because she's not awkwardly flirting with Melia enough.

On a serious note, but in my opinion, if (weirdo) billionares think they found a way to be immortal, I'm pretty sure they would do whatever they can to achieve this supposed key to immortality. Even if they have to kill a bunch of children or something.

In fact, I'm pretty sure there are some villains in fiction who have this kind of motive. Can't really recall who...

On to the chapter:

I know I said this multiple times but I despise this arc. Because of Turd and Stain. Because this arc happens because some brain dead gijinkas wanting to teach a lesson. That's it. That's 98% of this arc.

A lesson that's meaningless.

Even superheroes who try to save everyone( because they're, well, superheroes) care waaay more about their loved ones than some frigging rando they meet for the literal first time.

And I still don't like their names. I know using Latin names is cliche, but that would be a better alternative than "Timpea and Spacea". Or better yet, I suggest some names from my language.

Don't worry, I choose good names this time. Like Waktu and Dimensi

...

...

...That's all I can think of. I could go for "Angkasa" but that refers to Space, as in the space with stars and planets and everything.

Expand

Heh. Turd and Stain. That's good stuff.

They've got a weirdly cold logical sense to them. I'm betting they're just advanced robots instead of actual gods now.

Okay, Dimensi is literally the same kind of shit Timpea and Spacea are. You literally just took out the last two letters!

On 1/26/2023 at 9:01 AM, Hakimblue99 said:

Remember when you were supposed to find out about Aelita's past? Instead, this arc decides to waste it time on a boring ass timeline. Thankfully though, Aelita's past did get revealed in the end.

Oh sorry. Did I say Thankfully? I meant Shockingly.

Because WHAT THE HECK is that backstory?!!! Like...damn. Sheesh. If there's one thing I'm looking forward from this arc, it's your reaction to Aelita's..."birth".

Expand

Thing is, I don't know why she'd want to get rid of that power.

You get free lives and the only downside is you get turned into a six year old with no memories of it when you die.

Way better than just dying.

....Either v13 rewrote Madame X's dialogue, or my brain just shut out the fact that a TERRORIST is giving advice on how to sacrifice people. Terrorist, people who are usually well known to kill people and claim it's a "necessary sacrifice" for the "greater good".

It's like an animal abuser giving advice to euthenise a dying pet. It's the correct advice in this situation, but from the worst person possible.

I've never heard of that being a thing. Touching your past self, sure. But alternate selves?

I on the other hand don't understand what makes Dracula scary, especially in the modern age? So it can suck your blood, so? It lightphobic, just blast light into his eyes. If it can blind humans, it sure as heck can blind wimpy draculas who could only drink blood. What a loser. I'm more afraid of Raja Bersiong, a character in my local folklore.

Unlike Dracula, Raja Bersiong drinks blood because...it's tasty. That's...pretty much it. And he's not afraid of light, especially since my country is on the Earth's Equator. Sure, Bersiong doesn't have any mystical powers...But he's a king of a kingdom with loads of soldiers behind him. If he wants blood, he just order his soldiers to kill people. Problem solved! Also, his story originated much earlier than Dracula, so he's not a ripoff of Dracula.

Points for originality!

Expand

Dracula has a lot of powers that make him hard to defeat. Especially for peasants. And he's only weak to sunlight itself.

Not actual light.

The original wasn't even burned by sunlight either. Most of his powers just stopped working.

Seems to me like Raja Bersiong is a lot weaker than Dracula. And went mad for blood resulting in his people killing him.

Not exactly an impressive resume.

Expand

I never knew that was a legitimate trope. Touching past selves=destroyed sure but never an alternate selves version of that.

My best explanation for this is because this is still an alternate timeline, just a destroyed version of it. So in a bizarre leap of logic princess!Melia is the future version of base Melia, who only exists because of a time gear necklace.

It also really depends on what one considers an alternate universe. Do alternate timelines count as that despite the fact that it's merely a branching path from your own home timeline? Or does this hypothetical person only count 'true' alternate universes, such as what Spiderverse does? Going by what rejuvenation goes with, alternate timeline ≠ alternate universe. Maybe. This is the only arc that really touches upon this concept so hard to say how it will look in future episodes.

Expand

I've never heard of it being a thing. The one you mentioned, yes. But alternate selves dying if they touch eachother I've never heard of.

Usually it's just the mere presence of two alternate versions destabilising the universe or something.

Ehhh...it's more like the Princess is the alternate version of Maria (who Melia likely is) instead.

I think alternate timelines do count. Timelines and universes are basically the same thing when you think about it.

They both only variate if something changes within them.

Bluedude · February 4, 2023

Man this chapter has a lot of talking in it, times like these you probably wish your character could talk. But then again that does run the risk of your character saying something that doesn’t make sense. At least with a silent protagonist you can make up what their thoughts and motivations are.

Looks like you’re still a side main character, aside from Melia, and Aleita. I don’t really mind when I don’t play as the main character, as long as my actions still have meaning.

I do like story’s where the main character is a normal person, and I’m not talking about dang isekai normal where the guy has no life, no family, and has no/boring job. I mean normal like they have a good social life, a close family, and a nice job. Seriously how does every Isekai protagonist not miss their world in the slightest? I’d be so upset if I got transported to some medieval fantasy world, where they don’t have electricity or plumbing.

ah the foreshadowing font

dont know where jan got it from, probably danganronpa, but it sure beats you over the head that some big ass cutscene is coming in hot

the worst thing about the 10 year old being able to catch god thing is that until BDSP you couldnt actually catch arceus since it was only given away via events and even in PLA you just battle it to prove your worth and not actually catch it

also lucas and dawn are 11 not 10

I miss the days when comics where the most prominent form of nuzlockes

shame a consistent schedule is a difficult thing to justify for a project you arent getting paid for, and all the big nuzlocke comics are either finished or abandoned

the bad future versions of your party are both stupid and incredibly shitty friends

and the big choice at the end of a major story beat is a danganronpa reference

Hey-hoo.

New chapter for you.

We're FINALLY leaving this Dark Timeline arc where everyone wants to kill us and going home to our own timeline!

...

Where only MOST people want to kill us!

Man this chapter has a lot of talking in it, times like these you probably wish your character could talk. But then again that does run the risk of your character saying something that doesn’t make sense. At least with a silent protagonist you can make up what their thoughts and motivations are.

Looks like you’re still a side main character, aside from Melia, and Aleita. I don’t really mind when I don’t play as the main character, as long as my actions still have meaning.

I do like story’s where the main character is a normal person, and I’m not talking about dang isekai normal where the guy has no life, no family, and has no/boring job. I mean normal like they have a good social life, a close family, and a nice job. Seriously how does every Isekai protagonist not miss their world in the slightest? I’d be so upset if I got transported to some medieval fantasy world, where they don’t have electricity or plumbing.

Expand

I can only talk when there's humor to be had, otherwise it's very difficult. Also it's implied that they kinda hear what I say in this chapter.

Just nothing that'd break the plot.

THE SPOTLIGHT MUST BE ALWAYS ON ME DAMMIT! WHENEVER I'M NOT ON SCREEN THE OTHER CHARACTERS SHOULD BE GOING "WHERE'S SEAN?"

But otherwise, yeah. I can also tolerate it if my actions still have meaning like you said.

...

And that when I win a fucking POKEMON battle it actually counts for something!

Isekai normal is sadly the actual Japanese normal for a lot of them. Which is a shame because I too hate the smelly former NEET isekai protagonists that are A-OK with slavery. Bonus points if they're a reasonably fit and handsome man but still somehow a complete fucking failure.

I think it's because magic is always a factor. Nobody wants to go back and live in the fucking Dark Ages but the Dark Ages where there's dragons, spells and fucking game mechanics telling you how strong you are is a lot more appealing.

For me, I'd probably be fine with being isekai'd. Even just the whole transporting part would be wonderous because if that's possible, who knows what else in the universe is?

Pokemon is my preferred setting. Because then I can have the goal of getting stronger to find Hoopa and letting my family know I'm okay and living the dream.

But I wouldn't come back for good.

The Golden Age of Nuzlockes is dead and gone, YingYang. We shall never see it's like again in our lifetime.

All they need to do is get arrested one by one until the Evil Team Leader realises how much damage the player has done and stages a jailbreak. That'd be much better than them just walking right past us out the fucking door!

Don't worry. There's going to be at least TWO people in the group that are utterly irredeemable so we can pour all our hate on them.

Expand

Guessing the hatesink would be Indriad plus the two jokers in visors. Hell they kinda are already since Indriad is basically Aevium Satan and the other two are trying to essentially destroy the world.

Pretty much. They're the Solaris and Sirius of this game after all.

Nah. This whole thing was meant to be a lesson for Melia, right?

Gotta prioritise the greater good over her own selfish desires and whatnot.

Expand

After all this I will be shocked if there isn't a point later where Melia has the choose between saving Venam and handing over some plot device. It'd make this whole arc pointless other wise.

Learn nothing out of spite sounds about right.

Hope it backfired on Timpea and Spacea and all Melia learned from this lesson that "Doing Nothing At All" is the right choice to make in every situation because something will come along and fix it for you.

On 2/3/2023 at 2:39 PM, DerogatoryTrainer said:

Unlikely. The positions they'd get would be ones they'd probably be going into anyway. Like Aelita becoming Leader of Sheridan or Melia finally opening her fucking gym.

And it's going to be a MOSTLY benevolent dictatorship anyway so they shouldn't complain too much.

Aside from the laws I specifically make to annoy them.

Expand

Make it so Melia has no custodians so she has to clean the gym by herself, that would be funny. And make it so that Venam can no longer legally use that "Dogars" so from BW2, or face permanent jail time. Just for the hell of it.

That works for me.

I might also hire Roxie just to spit in Veronica's face and call her trash.

I remain amused at the vast amount of differences between V13 and whatever version Sean's currently playing. Because that shit with Golden Girl Melia never happened (I think so anyway. Been awhile since that part of the game). The alternate timeline is still fucked up and never getting better as far as I know.

Still this went smoothly enough, losses notwithstanding. And now you get to go back to the time where you need to stop the ritual from being stopped and force the region into what it is now.

Good times.

Bluedude · March 1, 2023

Well I’m glad that this time travel arc is over, dang Amber was miserable to be around in this timeline.

Oh you remember Bennet from Reborn, the guy that brainwashed you and join Team Meteor because a girl didn’t like him? Well you’ll be happy to know, that he becomes a member of the elite four in that game, doing double battles with Laura, and everyone is fine with it. But I’m sure that you’ll be sure to change that when you become the Champion, and then you’ll realize Solaris was right in destroying the region.

I’ve been playing Desolation and it’s been pretty good. Routes are easier to walk down, battles are easier, especially that electric gym battle, glad that sticky web from the galvantula is gone, also removed the focus slash from it, so know your team doesn’t suffer from a speed debuff during the whole fight!

I would be a terrible Isekai protagonist, man the whole story would just be about some collage student staying out of the main plot, trying to find a way back home. Especially if the world is anything like Re: Zero, unless I get some OP powers I will die to easily to all the magical stuff. Best to stay out and let that world deal with its own dark lord.

Alright here’s my Pokémon team for my area.

Tauros - Grandparents own cattle, and I help out a lot with them. Even helped turn a few bulls into steers yesterday, sad for them.

Unfezant - Got a whole lot of birds around here, picked this one after the mascot of my dad’s high-school team. He coached them, pretty sure he was good at it.

Basculin - Ever been redneck fishing? I haven’t, I’ve watched others do it and it takes some nuts to stick your hand in a fish hole and try to pull them out. Namely catfish.

Bouffalant - Got Bison around here, they are kept in the parks, been awhile since I’ve seen one though, at least they aren’t in danger anymore. Also I watched guy on a buffalo, fun YouTube video.

Squirtle - caught a lot of turtles with my sister when we were younger, would paint their shells bright colors, also thought they ate grass, pretty sure now they don’t. We let them go, although considering we never saw them again they either washed off the paint or got ate.

Sandshrew - basically an Armadillo, and let me tell you, those are not smart creatures. They either have poor eyesight or they just do not care because they will let you get real close to you before running away. They have their heads down the whole time looking for food, so that’s probably why.

that is not how I expected melia to save the day

honestly dont come back is the best thing anyone can tell you about a horrible hell future like that one it shows real concern for your safety

a good futurama reference is a great palette cleanser for all this fanfiction nonsense

Replying to previous chapter:

Can I just say, as a (casual)Ace Attorney fan, I love the Ace Attorney parody? Then again, I always love when two characters try to counter each other arguments, or more specifically in this case, exposing the other character's sad sack of lies.

Derogatory: It's been five years since the last Ace Attorney game and nineteen since the last GOOD one...

Oof. Ace Attorney fans are gonna pursuit you for that. Not that I have any objections towards your statement though. The latter games have...tons of stuff I don't like.(I do like the games that take place in England though...for some reason...) But sometimes I need someone else to point out the flaws for me to realise it.

What I'm trying to say is, in your own words, why is the last good Ace Attorney game from 2004? What makes the latter games not....well, good?

Okay, putting that aside. Time to reply to this chapter.

....

....Yeah I don't know what else to say about Melia Sue here. Other than agreeing with what you say. And she's only going to get even stronger...somehow.

Derogatory: If Thomas the Tank Engine can make a Magic Railroad from the USA to Sodor I can fucking make one from here to Hawaii!

I'm recall Thomas the Star-Hogging bastard needing some Magic Gold Dust. And the Magic Engine. Who's part Gold....

And Melia has golden hair....

I too prefer that Melia unlock her Super Magical NOT KAWAII Saiyan Ultimate Saiyan form because she almost friggin died. Mainly because power of friendship(or....love) is boring! God, I wish there are more shows where the hero gain power ups because of a near death experience. That would be much more interesting.

On the inverse side, I'd like to see more stories where people turn evil because of the power of the love. Mainly because I'm legitimitely sick of the whole "love can conquer hate". Blargh! I wanna see loves corrupting people. That'll be much more interesting.

I'm not saying that as an edgelord, mind you. Just, if modern writers are going to....urgh..."subvert expectations" or "deconstruction", do something actually interesting with it, damn it!

Then again, I'm hoping for most modern writers to actually be good. Maybe I'm being waaay too optimistic.

So...Madame X has been time travelling/time altering/time mol**ting several times already? Yikes.

Derogatory: TWO PENI-

And four ba-oh wow. Jojo reference.

Homework from Derogatory Trainer? I'll be happy to take it! As of my Pokemon team:

Espeon, Meowstic, & Meowscarada: CATS, CATS, CATS. I have so many dang cats. Everywhere I go, I keep finding cats. Each time my previous cats...passed away, I seem to keep having replacements. Especially this latest batch. One of them literally appeared out of nowhere, demand me for food, and start hanging in my room. For years. And for some reason, if they're hungry, they tend to go for me first. They would wait in front of my closed room until I open it and go "what the heck? How long have you been here?"

Wash-Rotom: Relatively recently, my parents brought a new washing machine. It works fine, but for some reason, when it finish washing the laundry, it seems to play some music for some reason. I know it's obviously meant to signal it finished it's job, but if this is Pokemon world, I'd like to imagine it's a Rotom-Wash who really, really likes singing.

Swampert: Also known as "ikan belacak" in my country, me and my family always found it fascinating whenever I found a mudksipper on my family trips. And Mudkip is already one of my favourite, and early childhood starters, so this one is definitely on my roster.

Mienshao: I. LOVE. MARTIAL ARTS. I loved watching movies where the hero uses martial moves to beat the tar out of bad guys.

So yes, I love Jackie Chan. Although I don't learn the same martial arts as he did, but Silat(my countries's native

martial arts) is pretty good as well.

Speaking of Freezer, here's Chiller's theme song.

Gah, I have no idea how I got that mixed up. I straight up forget Freiza had his own theme. I guess Chiller will be turning black at some point in this run?

Oh of course!

It's all for the good of the region!

Naturally. A happy Sean is a happy Aevium after all.

Oh joy.

MORE time-travel is JUST what this game needed.

*Sigh*

Who knows maybe they'll prove me wrong there. But who knows at this point.

Pretty much. They're the Solaris and Sirius of this game after all.

Oh absolutely. The fact that they're so damn smug about it just makes it worse.

Hope it backfired on Timpea and Spacea and all Melia learned from this lesson that "Doing Nothing At All" is the right choice to make in every situation because something will come along and fix it for you.

That something 9 times out of 10 being you. So essentially nothing has changed there!

Seethe at night, you mean.

HOW DARE HE ESCAPE CERTAIN DEATH!?

Look man all those bug ladies aren't gonna woo themselves.

Also yeah, early game bug mons don't stand a chance at this point the game considering the crap being thrown your way.

On 2/26/2023 at 5:26 AM, DerogatoryTrainer said:

Well she is fighting death battles on my behalf (even if I die more) so she deserves it at least.

Look if you guys fail, Aevium (and probably the rest of the world) is screwed anyways. So at least she's has a fighting chance with you.

I would have kept him up until the end of Johto at least. Maybe switch things over to that guy who was only in Pokemon Chronicles?

Yeah, Generation 3 would have been the time to replace Ash. But that time is LONG past (god Ruby and Sapphire are gonna be 20 years old in a couple of weeks).

I'd call you a Regional Gym Leader myself.

BUT THE EVIL ACCENTUATES THE CURVES! WHAT DO I DOOO!?!?

Oh that's damning with faint praise. .

Only thing I can say is be like Batman and have a on and off again relationship with her like Catwoman that eventually turns her to good?

On 2/26/2023 at 5:26 AM, DerogatoryTrainer said:

I'll have to try again sometime. I see it got a new update recently enough.

Maybe that gave us better options?

Expand

I think the starter options are about the same as far as I can tell. I think that Aipom doesn't have Skill Link anymore so that's a good thing.

There is a pretty cool addition of note.

For important battles, the dialogue changes depending on how you win. Like if you use a single mon to sweep them, the trainer will complement that mon.

On 2/26/2023 at 5:26 AM, DerogatoryTrainer said:

Instruct, eh? Nice reference. Hard to imagine a Oranguru being a graceful dancer though.

Cruel...but deeply amusing.

They use their Psychic powers to control their movements like puppets would be my guess.

It is, but we know she'll be fine in the end.

On 2/26/2023 at 5:26 AM, DerogatoryTrainer said:

That works for me.

I might also hire Roxie just to spit in Veronica's face and call her trash.

Wow. We discuss torturing Venam a lot in these comments, huh?

Venam is such an easy target. It kinda borders on bullying, I almost feel bad.

Almost.

On 2/26/2023 at 5:26 AM, DerogatoryTrainer said:

Would be a hell of a twist to just usurp most of the plot like that.

Sadly, too much work for me to bother with it.

I know, right? All we got were fucking party-games or battle simulators.

Very disappointing.

Guess they were really focused on the Nintendo DS around that time. They really pushed the limit of what you could do graphic wise for Gen V. It was honestly great.

I imagine it's from before we changed the timelines?

Can't imagine there being much opportunity to paint in the apocalypse.

Well you can only do so much with collapsing society. Might as well paint. You can even use blood from someone you really dislike for red.

We will confront one of those Seans next chapter in a deadly duel.

Oh I'm sure that'll be a sight to see. With both Melias in the background eating popcorn.

It's fine. They're from Dublin. They don't deserve rights.

Huho! An honest and ACCURATE choice.

I wonder if it got removed in later versions?

God I hope so.

He'd be almost redeemable if he saw his mistake in making that thing.

I think so. Shoot I didn't even remember this was a thing until this run brought it up. I must have completely blocked it from my mind.

At this point, I'm resigned to it.

It's in character for her after all.

Haha...haaaaaaaaaaaah...

Well if you die from cringe you'll at least come back!

As the new Old-Man-Lying-On-Road, I give you my blessing and thanks.

Would have been too quick a resolution.

And it would have skipped over so much dialogue that I KNOW we all love reading.

Yay. Now I too can lay in the floor and do nothing!

Skip over dialogue, in this game!?!

You blaspheme, Sean!

On 2/26/2023 at 5:26 AM, DerogatoryTrainer said:

Thankfully SOMEONE appreciates the hard work put into it!

The rest are philistines!

Look man those games were niche as hell. Half the people reading this run probably know it from memes at best.

On 2/26/2023 at 5:26 AM, DerogatoryTrainer said:

It wasn't intended to be like that but I'm glad it did.

Originally he was going to give me a big speech about saving Melia but that wasn't really funny so I got rid of it.

Expand

Be wild if you ended catching another Xatu here. In V13, I think you can actually catch Pokemon in the castle in this timeline.

It's always fun seeing sprites can played around with like that.

(I thought it was because this was a last minute change half an hour before the chapter goes up due to IRL Sean thinking the audience wouldn't want to just sit and read blocks of text about how much Melia and Venam want to kiss each other or whatever's going on here?)

Expand

You thought right! If I wanted to see the unedited version, I'd just pop in a LP on YouTube. This is much funnier.

Ah there's the Super Saiyan Melia Edit I was looking for. Was not dissapointed at all.

Please don't ask why I did that. I don't even fucking know anything about anything anymore.

Oh dear, it seems you've contracted a terminal case of "Tsundere". Nothing I can do, get you affairs in order.

Should we all get down and genuflect before our new golden goddess, praise be unto her?

That was a test.

If any of you at home did so, please come attack me in my house so I can legally kill you.

Sorry Sean. We must sacrifice you to our near blond haired overlord. Also holy hell, Melia is basically a god at this point. Like no wonder Team Xen wanted her

Really sad this is just an edit. Your friends have remarkably muted reactions to finding out the MC has died multiple times.

You were hoping that the Time Ruby would activate immediately after you said that so it'd be especially dramatic, weren't you?

Look its in her Big Bad Evil Boss work contract. If she doesn't do it, they dock her pay and remove her dental.

Luxray & Espeon: I've lived with cats basically my entire live, including now. The only time I didn't was when I was too young to remember and a short while after the last of the cats I grew up with died. :(

Roserade: I've spent a lot of time with my grandma as a kid and now live with her; she has a lot of plants and I used to help her with gardening.

Meowscarada: A combination of the above, cat + plants

Smeargle: If I could be anything I like I'd want to be an artist. Unfortunately, Art Is Hard.

Aegislash: I do medieval swordfighting as a hobby. Been at that for quite a few years, but pretty casually.

Expand

All of these feel vaguely feline one way or another. I mean just look at Aegislash's cat ears on his crossguard!
Feel like the Roserade would be your grandmother's Pokemon though. And you'd have a Roselia.
Like obviously you could just have evolved it but it'd fit the theme better.

I've actually pretty much never done any homework back in school. You must be some sort of genius teacher, Mr Derogatory.

There's a market for that shit now though.

I think they do depending on the species? It's probably fiiiine...

Squirtle's good though.

Still wish it was a Remoraid handgun for the THEME though.

Sandshrew - basically an Armadillo, and let me tell you, those are not smart creatures. They either have poor eyesight or they just do not care because they will let you get real close to you before running away. They have their heads down the whole time looking for food, so that’s probably why.

Expand

I also like how you didn't immediately go for the evolved forms.
Very unique team you've got here and you weren't concerned at all about making them competitive which is nice.

Oof. Ace Attorney fans are gonna pursuit you for that. Not that I have any objections towards your statement though. The latter games have...tons of stuff I don't like.(I do like the games that take place in England though...for some reason...) But sometimes I need someone else to point out the flaws for me to realise it.

What I'm trying to say is, in your own words, why is the last good Ace Attorney game from 2004? What makes the latter games not....well, good?

Expand

Because I haven't played any of them!
Making them automatically BAD.
I didn't really care for Apollo Justice or the Dual Destinies game.

I did like the Professor Layton crossover though.

Okay, putting that aside. Time to reply to this chapter.

....Yeah I don't know what else to say about Melia Sue here. Other than agreeing with what you say. And she's only going to get even stronger...somehow.

It's very inconsistent though.

Derogatory: If Thomas the Tank Engine can make a Magic Railroad from the USA to Sodor I can fucking make one from here to Hawaii!

I'm recall Thomas the Star-Hogging bastard needing some Magic Gold Dust. And the Magic Engine. Who's part Gold....

And Melia has golden hair....

Expand

See what I mean?
It all comes back to The Magic Railroad in the end.

On 3/3/2023 at 8:24 AM, Hakimblue99 said:

....

I too prefer that Melia unlock her Super Magical NOT KAWAII Saiyan Ultimate Saiyan form because she almost friggin died. Mainly because power of friendship(or....love) is boring! God, I wish there are more shows where the hero gain power ups because of a near death experience. That would be much more interesting.

Expand

The funny thing my "god hormones" theory is very likely the correct one since near-death experiences are seemingly the best trigger for them.
Further parts of this game only prove me right.

On 3/3/2023 at 8:24 AM, Hakimblue99 said:

On the inverse side, I'd like to see more stories where people turn evil because of the power of the love. Mainly because I'm legitimitely sick of the whole "love can conquer hate". Blargh! I wanna see loves corrupting people. That'll be much more interesting.

Expand

That's...fairly common though, isn't it?
Although usually it's "AAHHH MY WIFE DIED, NOW I'M EVIL!" than actual corruption from loving someone evil but the latter still happens.

Homework from Derogatory Trainer? I'll be happy to take it! As of my Pokemon team:

Espeon, Meowstic, & Meowscarada: CATS, CATS, CATS. I have so many dang cats. Everywhere I go, I keep finding cats. Each time my previous cats...passed away, I seem to keep having replacements. Especially this latest batch. One of them literally appeared out of nowhere, demand me for food, and start hanging in my room. For years. And for some reason, if they're hungry, they tend to go for me first. They would wait in front of my closed room until I open it and go "what the heck? How long have you been here?"

Expand

Yep.
Expected the cats. (How has there not been a Ghost cat Pokemon yet though?)
Well done for committing and putting three of them in your team.

Wash-Rotom: Relatively recently, my parents brought a new washing machine. It works fine, but for some reason, when it finish washing the laundry, it seems to play some music for some reason. I know it's obviously meant to signal it finished it's job, but if this is Pokemon world, I'd like to imagine it's a Rotom-Wash who really, really likes singing.

Haha!
I like that. It's a cute quirk.

Swampert: Also known as "ikan belacak" in my country, me and my family always found it fascinating whenever I found a mudksipper on my family trips. And Mudkip is already one of my favourite, and early childhood starters, so this one is definitely on my roster.

Oh yeah, i always found those things super gross the way they dig their burrows and their stupid fucking faces.
Luckily Mudkip is more axototl than mudskipper so he's cool.

Mienshao: I. LOVE. MARTIAL ARTS. I loved watching movies where the hero uses martial moves to beat the tar out of bad guys.

So yes, I love Jackie Chan. Although I don't learn the same martial arts as he did, but Silat(my countries's native

martial arts) is pretty good as well.

Expand

Easy pick.
Who doesn't want a fighting type?
At least you can have your Mienshao learn your native martial art.
All I've got are Dornálaíocht (bare knuckle boxing) and Bataireacht (beat the shit out of each other with big sticks).

I think the starter options are about the same as far as I can tell. I think that Aipom doesn't have Skill Link anymore so that's a good thing.

There is a pretty cool addition of note.

For important battles, the dialogue changes depending on how you win. Like if you use a single mon to sweep them, the trainer will complement that mon.

You thought right! If I wanted to see the unedited version, I'd just pop in a LP on YouTube. This is much funnier.
