2 and 5 are the best of the lot by far. Definitely gotta be Trainer 5.

My vote is for Trainer 5 because her "what" expression is perfect for what we've been shown and I expect will be perfect for what we'll see.

Speaking of which, what should I name the MC? I was thinking Personage or Individual, but am open to suggestions. Here are the sprites:

Personally I'm sold on Trainer 1, he looks as dead inside as I will be by the end of this.

I'm glad so many people already went for Trainer 5 because that would have been my vote. She looks completely done already and the game hasn't even started.

As for the name... Refrigerator is probably going to be appropriate.

Well, Pandora's Box had hope in it!

...thinking about it, that hope was probably Insurgence. We're all out of good here.

I'll vote for trainer 5.

You should also name her Koroneis if it fits.

This is supposed to be even edgier and harder than reborn right?
I can't wait to see how deep this hole goes.

'Marianette'. Such subtlety.

It is nice to see that some fangame creators don't keep themselves chained to the commercial games, but take their inspiration from the classics among the fanworks. Looking forward to another mature fangame for mature people addressing mature topics in a mature manner. Such as child sacrifices to the PokéGod, a very mature matter indeed.

Also voting for Trainer 5, by the way.

It did. I called it Pokemon Reborn in the title and didn't pick up on it. I'm not even an hour into the game and I've fried some brain cells.

You should check if they let you name the protag Arceus before you continue, I could imagine that being a banned name.

If it fails, I suggest we use RCS as the name. Or "RKS", "R-key-S", or however the gently caress you're supposed to pronounce it.

Oh, and throwing in yet another vote for trainer 5.

I think I prefer Trainer 6's :wtf: face over 5's. Doesn't seem like it'll make a difference at this point, but I want to put my vote out there anyway. I feel like naming them Arceus will get old a lot faster than people seem to think it will, but I can't really come up with anything better.

Also, didn't the people who made this think Reborn wasn't hard enough or something? Godspeed you poor bastard.

Edit: vvSure, why not. I don't know the meaning behind it (If there even is one), but Suecra sounds fine.

Oh. Right.

...I suppose an alternative would be Enoby if we wanted to match the reasoning for Reborn's protagonist, but I'm not sure I particularly like that. Suecra seems serviceable enough.

I appreciate that people who make Pokemon fangames seem to have a group think that human sacrifice and worshiping and god who is so lame that I beat him up and forced him into existing in a ball that is forever digitally stored away is "good"

Also yeah name it Arceus

I'm a sadist so I looked up the TVTropes page for this "game" and it's just as equally trash tier as Reborn but with slightly less characters and more bullshit unfair-one-cheese-strat-only gameplay that punishes the player for thinking outside the box that the developer intended.


The end.

No moral.

The TVTropes pages for those two are hilarious because they were written by the kind of lovely edgelords that actually enjoy these games so any moment of praise (and there's a lot of them) is clearly not something that should be praised and deserves contempt instead.
