Later on, there's a part where you are assigned one of three tasks of your choice. Stay with your assigned task. Or, explore, but don't save if you notice anything weird going on. I ventured out of my task area, ignored the plot characters standing in the way, and went towards one of the other two areas. By mining a specific rock in the other area, the game suddenly had me initiate dialogue with a different character that wasn't supposed to be with me. I thought my game broke afterwards, but then I left the area through a different entrance that is normally walled off, and the game proceeded as if I had chosen that specific task instead of the one I actually chose. I don't know if similar glitches are present in the other two paths, but I wouldn't risk it at all. Expand Thanks for the heads up! It's kind of a shame to hear that happens, but hopefully that bug gets fixed in the future. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand If the legendaries you're referring to are the ones I think you're referring to, you actually do have to capture or defeat them to proceed with the story. If I remember correctly, the characters were also absent from the overworld during that segment. I didn't feel like resetting so many times to capture the legendaries, so I tried to seek out the characters in the hope I could just ignore the legendaries, but you get a call from Orchedy after catching or defeating the last one and the game proceeds from there.

Alilatias Posted August 23, 2017 Share Posted August 23, 2017 (edited) aghkaldfjlka WHY Oh well, I'll just KO them all and be on my way. If there's one thing this game is making me appreciate, it's the fact that it's forcing me to realize I'm never going to use most of the legendaries that the game forces you to fight throughout the story anyway, and that I shouldn't really bother trying to catch the ones I'm not even remotely interested in if I'm running low on Master Balls. >_> Edited August 23, 2017 by Alilatias Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brakk Posted August 23, 2017 Share Posted August 23, 2017 Well, you can find plenty of master balls during your journey. I do not know if I found all of them, but I had 9 in total before finishing the last Episode. So, even when you catch all legendaries that are currently in the game, there is only one reward for catching a certain group of them. I do not want to spoil that yet... I am not aware if any other rewards might be in the game, but at least I could not find any. Also be careful when fighting with or against Gen7 Mons. Some of the abilities/moves do not work like intended yet or could cause error messages. Should you ever fight against Alolan Ratticates at some point, you either need to kill them twice or flee from them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Filthy Casual Posted August 25, 2017 Author Share Posted August 25, 2017 Chapter 25: Rock Bottom After our battle with Sam, we continued our expedition through the Lightning Base. While looking, we happened to stumble upon Sky's brother! What he was doing there was beyond me, but whatever, I guess. With the help of Hobbes (Arcanine), we busted him out of the cage. While looking for the source of the pollution, however, we ran into something far more dangerous... ...monologuing. The next part is a bit... unique, to say the least. As such, I'm going to put what happened in the spoilers tab below. Reveal hidden contents Lavius explained to us the history of Team Lightning. Apparently, even they aren't the leaders. Instead, it's run by some guy (emphasis on "guy", as Lavius refers to said leader as a "he", even if the twist is going to be the leader is still the champion) who disagreed with the practices of Team Light, the old iteration of Team Lightning. Those who didn't like the change eventually formed Team Shadow. It's simple, but it's still nothing we haven't heard a thousand times before. In fact, the plot screams of a Lin rip off. You know, the executive who rises through the ranks and changes the way a team thinks, changing their spirit from one of good intentions to one of malice. However, if that wasn't enough, this happens: HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA Come on, man! I already destroyed your Gallade! It's not even a mega! You honestly think you stand a chance? No, you just suck! As such, we went to battl- ...I'm not... I beat your team already. In fact, why hasn't the game begun the fight yet? ...is this going to- ...ladies and gentlemen, we've hit rock bottom for this game. Yes, I think we've finally something that surpasses Luna's and Chan's stupid romance. We've established that we're stronger than Lavius (to be honest, I really didn't need help in that double battle, as Bloody Mary the Froslass could have put in some major work on him). It's also ridiculous to think that Luna just kept her Pokemon inside her Pokeball while all of this was happening. She had plenty of time to send someone out! Ira (Latias) could have walled the Gallade, or perhaps even 420 (Venusaur) if he had fighting moves! With this game, I wouldn't be surprised! Unlike the beginning of the game, which was just awful writing, to me, this scene is trying to be shocking just because it can. Personally, this screams sellout to me. TLDR: I didn't like it. Lavius ended up walking away (thank you restart button), allowing us to continue walking towards the base. We found something horrible at the center... ...a PULSE Muk! God damn it, game! Even your fights aren't creative! You may have noticed that strange man in front of the Muk. That man was none other than Finnian, the newest admin of Team Lightning. As such, we went to battle! Reveal hidden contents The battle starts off with Hobbes going for a couple Digs. He goes down, but Muk sustains heavy damage. I predict that Mud will get a Full Restore. The prediction comes true, as Mega 420 gets off a Leech Seed and Sleep Powder combo. This allows us to take Muk down. This is indeed the last battle 420 is going to have on the team. I'm really going to miss him. He pulled through for us on countless occasions, and will always be remembered for clutching out tough battles. At least he can join the other members, like ICE-enberg (Bergmite), Ribbon (Cresselia), Jordan (Tauros), Original (Zoroark), and Baron (the POWERFUL Staraptor). We eventually made it out of the base, sabotaging Team Lightning's plans of... ...what was their plan? We never actually saw any lakes be polluted, so did it even work? Still, we ended up saving the day! Before we decided to continue our adventure, we did three things: Reveal hidden contents First, we found this neat Mega Stone! Second, we got an awesome evolution! Finally, we decided to rename Fodder (Diancie) to something more fitting! Next time, we will be continuing on with our adventure!

After a long walk back to our "friends", we were finally able to move the toxic plants out of the way! How could we have solved the problem, you may asked? WATER! We eventually decided to head into the city, where we discovered why Achilles (Swampert) is truly the best Pokemon: Reveal hidden contents You know how Jesus can walk on water? SWAMPERT CAN SWIM THROUGH LAND! This glitch happens when you talk to certain people. However, you will happen to run into Wailmer and Tentacruel every few steps, so be careful.

Along the way, we found something neat, however... Reveal hidden contents ...a Battle Bond Greninja! Eventually, we found Noxia, who is none other than another recolor!

Ira comes out and sets up six Calm Minds. You can guess what happens next... I'm not even going to bother putting up a gag picture. Instead, I'm going to be serious for a bit: Noxia's team is awful. There's only one Dark/Poison type to counter Psychic types, and it's Drapion. You could have gotten Skuntank if you wanted to troll with Explosion, or at least an Alolan Muk, but no, it had to be Drapion? Really? After our win, Noxia decided to reward us with... ...A KNOCK OFF ANGIE DIMENSION! ...you're not even trying, game... Next time, we'll be looking for a way out of this dimension!

Filthy Casual Posted August 26, 2017 Author Share Posted August 26, 2017 Chapter 27: Cops - the Everia Chronicles After being teleported to Angie's Noxia's dimension, we continued to explore. Eventually, however, we ran into Noxia at the top, who was holding Ariëtta captive... ...WITH A GARUFAN DOOR! However, Noxia wasn't done. She had one last Shyamalan-esque twist left! I know. You're- ...oh, shit, I forgot about you! Now I'm happy again! We eventually continued upward, where we found Arietta within a dimension of time and space. When we made it to her, Scuros began to question us. Oh, you mean the artifact that traps- SHIT! Reveal hidden contents The battle begins with Hobbes getting blown away by a Hydro Pump from Palkia. However, Mary uses Destiny Bond. She goes down to a Fire Blast from Dialga, but manages to take it down with her. Palkia fortunately goes for Achilles instead of Gemini. Achilles goes down, allowing Gemini to get off a Moonblast. Ira outspeeds and hits a Dragon Pulse. While she goes down to Spacial Rend, Gemini KOs the Palkia with Moonblast. That would have been close to impossible if it weren't for Mary (Froslass). Needless to say, Dialga and Palkia weren't too thrilled with being mind controlled by Scuros. They eventually took out their frustrations on him. However, we were still trapped in an unknown dimension. Luckily, we had a savior: Djin Tim, our Hoopa! He managed to escape from the box in order to help us out! Djin Tim teleported us out of the dimension, allowing us to continue our adventure. We were even invited to participate in another double battle for a gym badge! Before we decided to inform our friends, we got a few things done. Reveal hidden contents First, we found another Mega Stone! Second, we found the Move Relearner! With Knock Off and Crunch, Slurp (Alolan Muk) is going to... to... WHAT THE HELL?! Knock Off is supposed to have 65 Power. Why would you put an unnecessary nerf on something that doesn't need it? YOU MADE IT ALMOST AS WEAK AS BUBBLE! After getting those errands done, we decided to inform our friends about our next task: to find our next gym- GOD DAMN IT! As it turns out, police aren't fine with us murdering people. Before anyone says anything; yes, we did kill those grunts in the castle (even if most of them were from Kain). The news even stated that we were the bad guys as we were leaving. I remember Chan even saying that we should go into hiding! It's a miracle we weren't arrested sooner! Still, we found someone else's mega stone. Next time, we'll find a way out of the prison!

This game is starting to feel even more like a chore than it already did... Luna started her day off by getting arrested in the back of a car. Where did we end up? IN FUCKING REBORN CITY! We were given the job to clean up after the city. Apparently, Kain was in charge of monitoring our progress.

However, we decided to say "screw that", exploring the city anyway... ...thus breaking the game. You see this cutscene? My guess is that it's supposed to happen if you select that you want to become a miner. This is because an invisible Redi taunts us for being a miner (even though we clearly were told to be cleaners), thus prompting an invisible Nello to give us a mining kit. However, since there are no models, we never receive the mining kit, meaning Luna is stuck in that position for the rest of eternity. Of course, when resetting, I also happened to forget to save! I'm growing really sick of playing this. If it weren't for the fact that I love most of my team (except for Slurp the Alolan Muk, since he hasn't been on the team for that long), I would have straight up quit.

FairFamily Posted September 8, 2017 Share Posted September 8, 2017 Legendary with recover? check! Calm mind? check! Psyshock? Check! Leftovers? Check! A bunch of coverage moves? Check! Time to break this game. Honestly what are they thinking? RIP the 20 great/ultra balls and trapinch you were extremely valuable against Reshiram. I also don't get why they even consider giving us a thrid psychic legendary. In return we see the revival of the obligatory stealth section for some reason and the obligatory you win NOT moment. Well I just got to the fourth(?) time related block in the game, just before the gym leader party. The fact that they block the plot progression based on clock just basffles me it makes no sense. In fact because of this you could easily miss some dialogue when waiting for the letter while trying to enter Nello's room. Apparantly he and girlfriend need some privacy which also explains the reason why the two are a bit further away from Chan and Arietta. It is too highlight/showcase their relation. I have to dissagree with the father dialogue though. He may profile his character but it is the most cliché dialogue you can get. Also mom your fight with your mother you were lucky: Infernape has punishment : which with two calm minds would have hit suppereffective with a basepower of 140. Also Mom is a cheat, hitmontop can't learn bite and machoke can't learn crunch. At this point this game reminds me of Rejuvenation a bit, a butload of legendaries, victories that don't matter and one sided advantages.

The Fangame Connoisseur Posted September 8, 2017 Share Posted September 8, 2017 I've been reading this thread for some time now and I've been enjoying it. Out of all the RPG Maker games, this one would have to be my least favourite. Not only does the game throw so many powerful Pokemon at you for doing very little, but there's a whole lot of pointless romance in the game. The other games dealt with romance in a more mature manner, in my opinion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J-Awesome_One Posted September 8, 2017 Share Posted September 8, 2017 I will say this. While the game might not live up to the moment with Rejuv and Reborn and it's stupid and nonsense half the time... I still love it. I know you haven't gotten through all of it yet (or maybe you have. You just haven't posted it up yet.) but it's just impossible for me to say this is a horrible game. Yea you get legendaries like their Pidgeys. Yea you get TM's like you at the Golden Rod City Department Store. Yea they rip off characters from other games. But... Idk. The story is still new and, at least to me, is good. It intrigues me to want to keep playing. Maybe it's just because I'm like a huge Pokémon fanboy but as long as I can understand the dialogue (I know they have misspelled words or the wrong grammar but it's better than some of the other fan made game I've played) and see the new region and everything, I just can't hate it. And don't worry. I'm not one of those people that are like "Omg! You need to love this game! If you don't, you're stupid and blah blah blah." Everyone has their own opinions and I'm ok with that. But yea. There's my rant for this I suppose. Haha. I can't wait to see you post the rest of this up. Really excited to see what you have to say for the rest of the game that's here so far.

Filthy Casual Posted September 9, 2017 Author Share Posted September 9, 2017 Chapter 28: A Serious Discussion After Chan ran away like a coward, Luna was tasked with finding the other legendary beasts. It took a while, but we eventually cornered and captured each of them! Reveal hidden contents But that's not all! While searching for the beasts, we found something even more amazing! HOLY SHIT YES!!!! I'll be recoloring this Grimer sprite soon to match the color scheme of ESPN's trashy channel. This means Slurp (Alolan Muk) is leaving. He didn't do anything, so it's not a huge loss. Yes, Alolan Muk is technically better, but I like regular Muk more. After catching each of the beasts, we decided to meet up with the others in the sewers. Orchedy told us that Chan, being the coward he is, ran away on his Dragonite, not wanting to confront the fact that he was a murderer. This seemed to devastate Luna, who still inexplicably has feelings for him. However, everything became much better when Manth told us this: YES PLEASE! We headed over to the gym, where the puzzle was essentially a guessing game. After completing the puzzle, it was time to battle! Reveal hidden contents It's bad enough that this game rips off Reborn and Rejuvenation, but it's even worse when they choose to use Satan Victoria... The battle begins with Achilles whittling down Crustle with a couple Surfs. This causes him to switch out. Luckily, Yanmega goes down to a Rock Slide. However, Achilles barely has any HP left. He is forced to switch out. Gemini mega evolves, taking out Volcarona with a Diamond Storm. One Diamond Storm doesn't take down the Vikavolt. However, it hits Gemini back with a Thunderbolt, knocking her out. Hobbes is fortunately able to KO with a Flamethrower. Ira finishes off Crustle with a Psychic. Rather than fight Golisopod directly, Ira goes for Healing Wish, bringing Achilles back to near full health (CURSE YOU SPIKES). Achilles flinches Golisopod to death with Rock Slide. Bloody Mary ends the fight with a Destiny Bond. Easy. But that's not all! We even got another evolution! With another win down, we received the Michael Bay Badge! In addition, we received access to U-Turn! Before I end this episode, it's time I have a serious talk with all of you. You may have noticed that I've been posting less on this project. I actually have a question for you: how many episodes are left after this one ends? I'm getting to the point where I just want to focus my energies elsewhere. This game just doesn't fancy my tastes, and I don't want to continue to be negative each week. If it's one or two more episodes before this version ends, I'm fine with that, as that's not too much content (in comparison to the rest of the game). However, I still want to hear from all of you what you think. I'm sorry if I sound negative, but that's just my thoughts on the matter. Next time, we'll be tackling Team Lightning at the police station! Current Team Reveal hidden contents Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Global Mods Ice Cream Sand Witch Posted September 9, 2017 Global Mods Share Posted September 9, 2017 There's one more gym battle after Manth in the current version. There's a little more content after that gym battle. As an advance note, there's also going to be an extremely frustrating tile puzzle in ep 9 content. I couldn't even solve it myself, I had to play in debug mode and press control to walk through the wall. Looking up what the puzzle is supposed to look like in Graphics -> Pictures -> Tile Puzzles doesn't even help, and you'll see why if you decide to continue playing. Re: sprites. The creator has actually addressed their use of Reborn and Rejuvenation's sprites, since when the Full Moon thread was first posted here, there were some people who were angry about him recoloring those. According to other posts in the Full Moon thread, he asked for permission and also gave credit (can confirm the second part as it's mentioned on his website).

I wish I saw that before I started playing. I honestly thought the creator hadn't credited the creators (honestly don't know how I missed that quote). It's still extremely jarring to me, but at least I can be much more merciful (as if my opinion matters lol). Also, sorry Esteban if you're reading this! Don't take what some idiot on the internet has to say to heart. There's my opinions at the end of the day, and should be taken with a grain of salt.

Filthy Casual Posted September 9, 2017 Author Share Posted September 9, 2017 (edited) Chapter 29: The Lament of Louis Before we begin the episode, I would like to take a brief moment to acknowledge the fact that last episode, I caught a shiny Pokemon. However, I've never been a fan of that shiny's color scheme. As such, I took the liberty to change it. Say hello once more to our newest member! Reveal hidden contents Meet the world wide leader in sports, as well as one of the most toxic news stations to exist! Eventually, we decided to invade the police station, where Team Lightning was hiding. As we began exploring the base, however, we happened to find an unwelcome face... Without hesitation, we began to fight! Reveal hidden contents The battle begins with Hobbes trying to get the burn. That unfortunately doesn't work, and he goes down. Gemini mega evolves, bringing down Hydreigon with a Moonblast. Achilles is able to tank and KO with an Earthquake. Unfortunately, ESPN misses the Gunk Shot, getting burned. Even worse, as he heals up, Ludicolo is switched out for Bisharp. ESPN gets off as much damage as he can with Brick Break, but he unfortunately goes down. Luckily, one Earthquake takes down Bisharp. Ira is able to tank Ludicolo's attacks, Kling with Psychic. Despite the enormous power increase, Tyranitar gets Destiny Bonded sealing the victory. Good! There's no reason you shouldn't have six Pokemon at this point! As we continued through the base, we discovered that Team Lightning had been experimenting on the prisoners. Of course, you would think that would mean someone like Looker would join our side, but you would be very wrong. While Looker's a moron for doing this, I'll give this game some credit. A single-minded cop is an interesting enough character, and something we haven't seen too much of in Pokemon fan games (police officer, not authority figure, otherwise we'd have the Augur). Let's just see how his team is in comparison... Reveal hidden contents The battle begins with Ira setting up six Calm Minds. She walls the Magnezone to death. Ira is able to decimate Stoutland with a Psychic. Not only does Greninja get the flinch with the Dark Pulse, but he then KOs with a critical Gunk Shot (FUCK YOU GRENINJA). Luckily, Achilles is able to save the day once more, KOing with Earthquake. It takes a while due to Arcanine burning Achilles, but he eventually takes the Arcanine down. Hobbes returns the favor by burning Mega Steelix. Earthquake doesn't KO, allowing a Flamethrower to finish the job next turn. ESPN gets off a quick Toxic before going down. Achilles is easily able to wall Lycanroc into submission. You're a moron. I feel as if TheKingNappy would feel extremely thrilled with kicking your ass... ...but seriously, Looker's team is neat! I personally would have preferred if Greninja was replaced with Toxicroak (he had a Croagunk in D/P/P) and Mega Steelix was replaced with Mega Audino (as he had the mega stone for Audino on him for ORAS), but if the creator was looking to make a challenging fight, then this team was fitting. Our rampage continued until we reached the center of the base. There, we discovered everyone hiding away. Lavia was extremely mad at us for defeating her minions. She decided to call her new servant, Louis, to defend her. This made me furious. Another new admin?! Why would they need another one?! There's no reason to- ... HOLY SHIT! I didn't elude to this, but as we entered the prison, it was alluded to that a prisoner was being brainwashed into believing his name was Louis. As it turns out, that prisoner was Kain's father. I don't think I have to go into how messed up this whole situation is. We had no choice to but to engage in a rematch! Reveal hidden contents The battle begins with a horrible mismatch. Gemini is essentially sacrificed. Ira is able to bring down Roserade to the red. however, she is switched out for Serperior. Serperior tries to KO with Dragon Pulse. Fortunately, Ira is able to finish the job with a Dragon Pulse first. In the rematch of the century... ...oh, who am I kidding? It's not even a fight! Mary is able to decimate with an Ice Beam. Another Ice Beam decimates Alolan Exeggutor. One more Ice Beam crushes Roserade. Lurantis (who is at a huge level jump of 79) lives an Ice Beam to get off a Petal Blizzard. However, it's not enough. I'm sorry! After defeating our comrade, Team Lightning decided they didn't want anything with either us or our friends. They threw us out of the prison, and... This has been my least favorite episode so far, as many of you can tell. It was nothing more than a giant chore. However, to the game's credit, that plot twist was awesome! Next time, we'll be continuing on with the story! Current Team Reveal hidden contents Edited September 9, 2017 by Filthy Casual Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Filthy Casual Posted September 9, 2017 Author Share Posted September 9, 2017 Chapter 30: "Maybe if you Ask Enough Times..." After our little escapade with Team Lightning, we decided that it was time to leave the city. Now, it would be up to us to head down to Kepler City and attain the next gym badge. However, during that meeting, Luna ended up saying something that has made me smile nonstop! That's right! She broke up with overly attached boyfriend Chan! Today, America has won! First, however, we had to drop Nello off at the academy... ...wait, isn't that the worst place possible? Team Lightning's Elia is currently the principal of the school! We're just giving him to them on a silver platter! Regardless of that nonsense, along the way, Luna ran into none other than Olvin. Olvin made another pointless attempt to coax us into Team Shadow. Of course, given how he tried to kill Shaymin, we said no... ...and then he asked again... ...and again... ...and AGAIN! Needless to say, we were forced to say yes, which I personally find ridiculous. For me, I'm immersed in a video game when I find the actions and decisions of the character to be believable. However, in this case, I'm only joining him so he can let me access the next area! Regardless, we eventually dropped off Nello at the academy, moving onward to Kepler City. There, we found Lumos and Sky once more! Luna informed everyone that she became an admin of Team Shadow, and because of course, everyone just seemed to accept it as if it was a perfectly normal reaction (I'm giving Sky and her brother a pass since they aren't aware of what Team Shadow has done, but Lumos liking them because "there's a ghost guy" is silly). Still, we were given another task! Along the way to the temple, we discovered a couple things: Reveal hidden contents First, remember how I said Achilles (Swampert) could swim through land? As it turns out, Luna is the second coming of Jesus Christ! This is a little glitch that occurs if you walk off the above ledge. It's just really silly to see. However, that's not the biggest change. We picked up another team member from the box. That's right, this means Gemini (Diancie) is leaving the team. I've just gotten bored with using her, and never got around to using Chespin. Chesnaught in particular is my second favorite starter of all time, so I'm excited to have him on the team. After our evolutions, we decided to investigate the temple. However, we instead ran into Olvin being harassed by a mysterious trainer... Oh, this will be interesting! I wonder what the creator has Gold using. Only one way to find out, as it was time for a fight! Reveal hidden contents Disclaimer: Olvin, I appreciate that your team has gotten better, but you still suck. HOLY SHIT, YES! I had a Sudowoodo and Typhlosion on my main team... ...anyway, the battle begins with Ira hitting Typhlosion with a Psychic. This nerfs Eruption enough where Vanilluxe isn't knocked out by it. Instead, it hits the Blizzard, freezing Typhlosion. Sudowoodo takes this time to set up Stealth Rocks. Eventually, Typhlosion goes down while Vanilluxe is switched out, causing Sudowoodo to miss a Stone Edge. A good choice, but I never used an Ambipom. Oh, well... Cryononal goes for a Blizzard while Ira goes for a Psychic on Ambipom. Ambipom goes down, but Sudowoodo takes out Cryogonal with a Stone Edge (FUCK YEAH SUDOWOODO). SUNFLORA?! GET THIS TRASH OUT OF HERE! Ira is able to finish off Sudowoodo while Sunflora takes out Poliwrath (HA, YOU DIED TO A SUNFLORA) with Leaf Storm. Here's where things get a bit strange. Togekiss is sent out next (I also had one of those, hooray). Olvin decides it would be a great idea to send in Vanilluxe. However, with Stealth Rocks... Also, because the game didn't program Olvin to send in another Pokemon after the turn ends... ...you can imagine that this doesn't end well for Ira. However, she manages to bring Sunflora down to the red while Togekiss takes out Ira. Juggernaut goes for a Spiky Shield, hoping both will go after him. However, instead, they both target Mightyena. Fortunately, the hail takes down Sunflora. I never used Politoed, but that's an excellent last choice. As you can imagine, this turn doesn't end well for Juggernaut or Scolipede. Luckily, the Slowbro (which turns out to be a mega) helps support us by going for... ...Calm Mind... Come on, Olvin, I need some help here! Seriously, though, Mary takes down Togekiss with an Ice Beam. However, she then goes down to a critical Scald. While ESPN gets burned by a Scald, he manages to use one more Toxic. This sets up Slowbro to pick up a KO. Obviously, I was playing up the Sunflora thing for laughs. However, that fight was still pretty fun! I would replace Sunflora with Belossom or Heracross, but the fight itself was really cool! Despite his defeat, Gold would not go down without talking to us. He explained why he came to the region. Apparently, the temple we visited belonged to Zapdos. Olvin was going to capture it for his own nefarious deeds. As such, next time, we'll be trying to stop him!

Brakk Posted September 9, 2017 Share Posted September 9, 2017 Reminder for the future: Dont get confused when you fight wild Alolan Ratticates. You just need to kill them twice, even when there is no sprite!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J-Awesome_One Posted September 9, 2017 Share Posted September 9, 2017 Excellent! Loving this so far! Btw, how was the dialogue between Luna and Olvin since you "decided" to join Team Shadow near that part of the story? I remember I chose to join them the first time I was offered and the grunts attacked me to try to stop... Something. I guess it was to not have me know what was going down there but it was just weird. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
