What's with the green fluids? Is Ra's Al Ghul supplying Lazarus Pits to these cults?

Thank you for asking so I don't have to, random goon.

Also, it's not a fan-game exclusive thing, but I really hate conversations that begin with "As you know", because 95% of the time there's no reason to even say the thing you're following up with if the person already knows.

In the non-edgy version, Persephone sends them to the Shadow Realm causes them to fade into another dimension activates Detective Mode to show that they're unconscious.

I am amazed Persephone is still leading the cult as two very public attempts to contact Darkrai end up with her being rejected should shatter any belief the nutters have in her.

Maybe they have amazing health benefi-



Okay yeah, these guys are dumb. Or the other cults are somehow worse.

Also, I can't help but wonder why GameFreak hasn't replaced Tackle with Bug Bite on Caterpie yet. Or Struggle Bug, if you're worried about eating new players' berries. Or something with STAB.

While they might be stepping on Team Aqua and Magma's toes, at least they actually use the kind of Pokemon you'd expect! I'm still mad ORAS did nothing about that.

Also, did he just use a Harry Potter spell on those grunts? :stare:

Also, I'm kind of amazed to see a fan-game that actually has charm. That Delta Dugtrio design is actually pretty cute.

I brought this up really early in Reborn (I think?)

It is sooooo stupid. I hate it too. It also reinforces the idea that people in this Pokemon world look at Pokemon as spreadsheets instead of living creatures. Just imagine that in a real world setting: "My dog's DEF isn't great, but I EV trained him by throwing a stick a bunch so that his SPD is amazing!"

You don't EV Train your dog? :smug:

Anyway, I started playing insurgence on the traditional mode bc I wanted to see the differences and the main thing that's different so far is that Darkrai cult just wants to catch Darkrai to rule the world, which to it's credit feels more pokemonish since it's pretty much just a rip off of team plasma or whatever platniums evil team was. Also the guy on the table is sleeping and not dead, which was cute

The guy being drugged into slumber and being offered up to Darkrai so he's subjected to nightmares makes way more sense than killing him because EDGE.

Cultists offering guys up for nightmares to Darkrai, oblivious to the fact that it hates causing that, and thereby causing him to run away to avoid causing torment to people sounds like an easy enough idea to come up with.

"Kill it" comment aside, that's a neat side quest and a neat Delta, with an ability that doesn't feel horribly overpowered but still really good. I wish some of these Pokemon were official.

And man, that is an outrageously mean move set up for the first Gym. That's the kind of thing I'd put on my Egg Pokemon if I wanted to replay a game but sweep every trainer in the process, give or take a few moves. A Sunny Day team is pretty good for a Gym concept, though, even if the game was really on the nose about it.

Also, someone explain the trumpet joke to me, unless the "toot my own horn" comment was the joke.

It's weird seeing Orion giving a hint to what he is going to use in his battle and congratulating you on your victory, compared to Reborn's "You shouldn't fight this gym leader for some stupid reason. Wait, you won? The gym leader is going to die so you don't get anything for winning."

I want to look at the Reborn thread more and more just to see how terrible of a train wreck that game is.

This. The grind is lessened, but it's not gone. It's still not good design to have the level curve be so incredibly steep, even if the game makes bypassing it easier.

Also, the game throwing a Celebi at you? That's just rude, even if it does lose to Bug Bite. Isn't Nora supposed to be keeping it a secret, anyway? What's she doing throwing it around in the middle of a town?

Celebi isn't too tough, is it? Or is it one of those Pokemon with 100 in every stat?
