Choose My Team: Rejuvenation Edition (LP COMPLETE)


Filthy Casual

Recommended Posts

Welcome to my newest play through of Pokemon Rejuvenation! This playthrough is going to be a major compare/contrast between Reborn and Rejuvenation, since the games are so similar. The rules of this play through are simple: just like in Reborn, I will only be using Pokemon suggested by you. Now that we have done that, let's get started:

 

Chapter 1: "Seas the Day"

 

We start off this game in the eyes of a little girl named Maria. She is sent by her mother to find her father for breakfast. However, if you choose, you can go to his private study and invade his quarters. When we did that... well... it get's pretty dark pretty quickly. We decided to QUICKLY leave, fetch our father, then get changed. However, we end up getting stopped by someone who looks suspiciously like a Power Ranger.

We then decide to go downstairs where we meet up with our father, who has placed our mother over a sacrificial altar. What happens next is a bit strange. Maria now starts getting called Marianette, some sacrifices are made, and as Maria is about to get sacrificed...

 

...we get switched over to a character named Amanda.

 

The version I am playing is version 9, and a LOT was changed for this version. Quite frankly, Amanda is infinitely better than Amaria. She represents the huge improvement in the writing in Rejuvenation. We give her our name, and we are off!

Another thing you may notice once you start the game is that the boat scene looks AMAZING! A lot of positive changes were made, and while I can't list them all, they involve the layout of each area and the graphics...

 

Anyway, some posers named Team Xen end up attacking the boat and kidnapping our Mom with something called a "Dexoy". They are essentially fake versions of Deoxys who seem to be controlled by some person named Nastasia. However, we barely escape thanks to a woman with her Talonflame.

She tells us that our best course of action would to get a Pokemon from professor Jenner's lab. We end up arriving there and...

 

...wait a minute, is that Jan?!

Finally, we are brought to the starting room, where we get...

 

...well, that's up to you! YOU will be deciding who I use throughout the entire journey! Let me know who I should use down below, as well as what his/her nickname should be!

Chapter 2: Quest Start!

 

We are back with another log entry! We have decided our starter for our adventure! I am very excited to see what he can do! Let's meet our new friend:

With our new friend, we won against our friend Amanda in what was actually a really intense battle. After we won our fight, she left, while Jenner gave us some Pokeballs to start our journey. As we were about to leave, some scrub named Ren came in and challenged us to a fight. We took him out with two absorbs. It was a massacre.

 

As we were leaving, Jenner requested we look for his daughter, Melia. We accepted, and he gave us running shoes for our cooperation (THANK GOODNESS). Jan stopped us along the way, explaining about "PC Stars". They are strange, but quite convenient. After that, it was time to set off on our adventure!

While we were exploring the city, we ran across an officer stating that the power to the train station was out, meaning we couldn't advance. Of course, this means Melia also never crossed our path. We continued exploring when we found this individual:

This character told us to meet up with her in the sewers with her friends. Before we do that, however, we need more party members. Who should we catch in town? What about in the sewers? What should we name them? Let me know!

What about a Chingling? Sure it's meh but when you evolve it, it's pretty decent. At least for the beginning of the game. And I'm gonna go original and say the nickname should be Chime Chime. xD

Cool! I've been looking for one for a while now. I'm not sure if he got moved, but Chime Chime shall be on the team eventually (as soon as I find him/her)!

Chapter 3: Garbage Crew Gets Trashed

 

Before we went off to take care of Venam's proposition, we went ahead and caught our first new team member. Say hello to our second friend of the series:

  Reveal hidden contents

 

With our newest member, we went down to the sewers, only to find Venam with Ren. She proposed that we help fix the generator problems. Because of this, Ren and I proceeded to beat up every trainer's Mons, giving us plenty of experience.

  Reveal hidden contents

As we entered the generator room, we found Melia! As it turns out, she was investigating the cause of this, herself. While we were waiting for this, we discovered the problem: a Garbodor was eating away at the pipes. We immediately took to arms against this force, the Garbage Crew (yes, that's what they are actually called: it's actually pretty hilarious)!

  Reveal hidden contents

Chime Chime was able to dispose of the attackers with ease. This allowed Venam throw a Pokeball and capture...

 

...the Trubbish?????

 

WHY?!?! THERE'S A GARBODOR RIGHT THERE!

 

Either way, they leave, allowing the power to go back online. As thanks, Melia allows us to travel with her for her own studies on Route 1. There, we will be catching more team members. Until then, though, who else should I catch, and what should their nicknames be? Let me know soon, as we will be heading down to Route 1 next time!

Yay! Chime Chime! :D Honestly, if it wasn't for the anime, Idt I'd ever like this Pokemon. Haha. But I didn't know it was also like an event Pokemon! Does it know a move it wouldn't usually get by just normally leveling it up? :o

It's unfortunately not an event. I had to zoom my clock forward to get it. Here's the funny thing, though. Sometimes, in this mod, if you talk to your Mons, they give you items. Dangerous already gave me a Poke Doll, and Chime Chime gave me a great ball!

Chapter 4: Cutscene, the Episode

 

After that escapade with the Garbodor, we headed over to Goldenwood Forest with Melia. While we were there, we were looking for a new team member. Instead, I found this:

*that shiny Scatterbug: if it joins, what should its nickname actually be?

Expand  

I think it will depend on the Vivillon pattern into which it will evolve...

Can't find something befitting otherwise... :( 

 

Edit: @FactoryofSadness Regardless, since it is Male, you can name it Monarch, or Emperor, or Satyr, for some of the rarest butterfly species that exist nowadays.

Edit #2: If you don't use it, I'm unfollowing you :D

Chapter 5: Melia gets Massacred

 

Finally, we're out of the cutscenes and back in the gameplay! We enter a cavern, and Melia decides to team up with us in order to defeat the trainers. This provides plenty of training for Fenrir, who desperately needed it. One trainer in particular may have been a bit TOO eager to battle...

  Reveal hidden contents

We end up going through the cave, where Melia finds a secret entrance to an Arceus statue. We decide to sit down and celebrate the fruits of our labor with a nice picnic.

  Reveal hidden contents

Melia decides that she wants to battle us before she is sent to become the normal type gym leader of Grand Dream City. While I didn't take screenshots, I didn't need to. The fight went something like this:

That would have been an enjoyable end to an enjoyable, cutscene filled day, but instead, some green fog rolls in. We then hear an explosion, and are ready to check it out. Who should we catch along the way? What should their names be? Let me know!

Very good. I like how you're also comparing this with Reborn graphics as well. It's an interesting read for sure. And let's go fooooor... Stunky - Hazard Smell.

Chapter 6: Here Comes Team Meteor Xen

After we beat Melia, we ran to the source of the explosion. On the way out, we ran into a foreboding sign...

  Reveal hidden contents

We were moving onward when we ran into Team Xen for the second time this game. I didn't talk about them much on the boat, but now is as good a time as any to bring it up: they're pretty much Team Meteor. However, Jan did update this part of the game with something really funny. Originally, Melia just punched a grunt away, making them seem even more useless. However, in this update, Jan added more life and realism to the characters. There is one scene in particular which stands out to me:

Anyway, we ended up fighting through a bunch of Meteor Xen grunts and capturing their Shadow Pokemon. I never played the Colosseum games, so being able to do this is always a treat. We ended up going onward until we ran into these characters:

We ended up beating Zetta and his goons without much trouble. However, Zetta then rage quit and sent us into something called a PULSE Dimensional Rift. These rifts are quite interesting, and personally, I actually like them more than the PULSE Machines. The idea of zombifying Pokemon with pure hatred is quite interesting, and builds upon the Shadow Pokemon idea established further in the cannon lore. Furthermore, a lot of these designs are interesting (not that Reborn's are not, but I just gravitate towards Rejuvenation's designs). Just look at this beast:

  Reveal hidden contents

We finally defeated the beast thanks to the help of Dangerous! Afterwards, Garbodor help of the Dimensional Rift and Zetta while Melia got us back to Jenner's lab. It is there we rest for now while we come up with a plan.

 

I ended up catching a fair amount of Shadow Pokemon. I now have a Shadow Kantonian Meowth, Finneon, Happiny, and Alolan Grimer. Should I use any of them? We will also be hunting a Stunky soon. Who else should we add, and what should their names be? Let me know!

Chapter 7: Venam's Arsenic Assault

Last time, we were being chased by the dreaded Team Meteor Xen. We were ready to tell Professor Jenner about this dreaded team, in order to stop them once and for all...

 

...but first, side quests!

 

This is another aspect I prefer in Rejuvenation. Not only are side quests easy to find, but they offer lucrative rewards. They are the best of both worlds. For this side quest, we went to stop a local gang from running away with a girl's Starly. While the thieves were about to get away, this woman crushed the boat with stone. How she did that, you may ask? Well... magic...

  Reveal hidden contents

After that happened, we went back to speak with Jenner, and... turns out he was a spy. We found Madelis, and as Melia was escaping with Alpha Metronome, she used her Houndoom to snipe the Togepi, limiting her movement. Jenner explained to us that he gave us the snag machine in order to stop the Xen grunts. As he was explaining, however, a woman named Crescent sent in her Gothitelle and kidnapped Jenner. You may not remember Crescent, but she was actually on the boat with us and our mother. This brings up another point about Rejuvenation compared to Reborn:

Anyway, we ended up doing some training, and one of our members evolved:

Next, we went on to challenge Venam's gym. We didn't find a Stunky yet, but we DID find an abandoned yard in the back of Venam's gym. She explained to us that her old Seviper gym was closed down when Jan showed up. She then told us to take whatever we found, which was fine by us, because we found this:

  Reveal hidden contents

 

Finally, we made it to Venam to challenge her to a fight, and to be frank, I misplayed way too much. The second Pokemon she sent out was a Grimer. However, I didn't think it would be an Alolan Grimer, and I left Chime Chime out. I needed to switch out, and that messed me up. I almost lost because of my carelessness. Thankfully, we managed to pull through.

 

We will be doing the side quests next, as well as Rock Smash from the local gang leader. Where can we find a Stunky? Who else should we catch? Replace? Use? Should we use the Seviper? If so, what should we name it? Let me know!
