the plot is also a melodramatic mess with incredibly inconsistent theming and laughable attempts at confronting real world issues there are many more reasons why this game is bad and OFS will have the pleasure of commenting on all of them

So how much game is there left after the post game anyways? I imagine putting what should be inconsequential things after you beat the game, like the ability to plant berries, that there has to be quite the hefty post game.

i genuinely have no clue about post-game since my own attempt at playing didn't get super far for a multitude of reasons, but, what i do know is that there's a few pokemon that aren't implemented and had been intended for a later update i guess. most of them are legendaries of some sort or whatever the hell, so i would assume some of those would have been relevant.

With this game I don't think it's wise to assume too much. Not because you'll be disappointed, but because you'll probably be aiming way low.

 Couldn't even make a sign for their department store.  This store has everything! Including things you didn't actually want like hard stones! Well I joke but every modern Pokemon game seems to have a mechanic that loads me the gently caress up with Hard Stones so load me the gently caress up, Uranium.  On the top floor is a rotating stock of even specialer items. Like what?  Ethers, mega stones for starters, you know, normal stuff. It changes every day, so I guess I'll have to check back.  TM store has a lot of things that cost way too much!     These are all high-power, low accuracy, low PP super-moves. While they aren't always the best - and lord knows I'd rather have Ice Beam than Blizzard - they help round out coverage and give incredible burst damage.  And this is a capturing utility.  With this I don't really need Blants around. And I guess because Blants actually sucks. Oh yeah, Lotadio is female in this shot. My save got deleted by events due to circumstances, so I had to ruuuuuuuush back to now. Everything that matters is the same, just Gutterball is now herculean - I leveled her to the 60s so I could speed through the game - and Lotadio is female.  It also led to this or something.  We're now Bamb'o's baby daddy.  Did you know Uranium gave Corsola an evolution?  Did you know it still sucks? They forgot to actually give it good stats!  Deeznuts is in its second form for, like, five seconds. It's the thing that evolves with Coconut Milk.  He's went from a single coconut to an entire island!  You don't get to talk about things being broken!    Since I never steal anything with it, all I really accomplish is making My Fursona's moveset worse with this TM.  From Bamb'o's egg is a tiny unicorn. It has HERO and DARK evolutions depending on the stone used.  Oh, right, he is here, isn't he?  Dad is kinda bad at small talk but he tries.  PU-RangerTheme.Ogg I believe that's Looker's theme from the official games. Notice how it's 29 seconds long? It loops way too fast and I'm extremely sick of it.  These people communicate with letters a lot, in a setting in which Dick Solomon can digitally transmit an entire unicorn.  They're rebuilding at the spot where his wife disappeared ten years ago.  So of course we're sending a letter. OK this one is a bit more explicable since it involves Dick Solomon being at the site hi-  Yeah I gathered  At Route 7 there's a salty guy at a boat.  Theo comes along too because his dad is the other boss.  PU-Nuclear Plant.ogg This music is from the intro. Remember?  Cameron blabs on and on about something or other. It's also raining all the time here, which made this gif hell to compress. I decided gently caress visual clarity.  The wild Pokemon here are STRANGE and DANGEROUS so Theo's sent back to the mainland. Dick Solomon has business... looking at the place his mom died? This whole plan is strange.  You're stuck on the island until you're done with events (Uranium is really bad about making you stuck until you're done) but there's a guy who sells some stuff.  And a healing lady.  Uranium introduced it's own berry, but forgot to make its name some sort of jumble of an actual fruit's name.  Did you see the opening cutscene? Game seems to think you somehow didn't.  There's wild Pokemon here. They aren't dangerous, but Cameron was right about one thing.  They are very very strange. Original: PU-WildNuclearBattle.ogg When I pulled this up to get a link, my brother asked, "What's that stupid sounding music?" I never dealt with it. OFSelects: Alias Conrad Coldwood (OFF original soundtrack) - Pepper Steak Purification in progress.  Well actually despite being some sort of terrifying mutant Quick Balls work perfectly fine. As form changes they have normal catch rates and everything.  He is new radioactive isatop! We must observe with hasty.  Nuclear-form Pokemon have their primary type replaced with the Nuclear type. It's new for Uranium (obv.) and it's really weird. Nuclear-type Pokemon are weak to everything but poison and other Nuclear attacks. In this rain, Lotadio can plow through them with ease.  I try for silly things with my nuclear folks' names.   As a counterpoint to their defensive frailty, Nuclear moves are super-effective against all types but Nuclear and Steel. So Gamma Ray's low power is offset by how likely it is to be super-effective.  There are trainers. They have nothing special. Uranium calls scientists super scientists. Not sure why. That's the HG/SS sprite. I use it as my avatar on Pokemon Showdown, because mad science is my life.  Would nuclear meltdown shatter only parts of windows?  No one's managed to find any hint of what happened despite searches. Maybe this child could uncover something from basically the heart of Chernobyl, merely 10 years after the fact, with no protective equipment.  It's okay because we've got a beeping thing and I guess it beeps if Dick Solomon becomes a super mutant.  There are a bunch of stray damaged notes inside. 92 is uranium's atomic number, by the way.  Oh here's a book to put them in.  Random encounters continue inside. They're no issue if you're faster. Nuclear Pokemon are weak to everything but poison and nuclear - even normal.  This was a power plant. Why are their notes about specimens and brainwaves?  Well, if nothing else, I know power cores are bad news.  Hey, a key. Let's gently caress with things for no reason.  The Specimen with the Power Core was under control. Good news!(?)  CANCEL THE WORLD TOUR SOMETHING HAS HAPPENED  There's a stasis tank.  It is impossible to progress without opening it.  I think there's a trope or two for this.  We're dropped into a room with this very friendly guy.  Trawpint is Costraw's evolved form, though being nuked has changed a few things. Like a cute li'l nuclear symbol on his tummy.  Quick Balls still work.  And then Dick Solomon passes out from radiation poisoning, a thing that totally happens (it doesn't happen according to my sources.)  I nearly died from rdiation and how you greet me is awkward inclusions of fandom garbage?!  I guess I'm gonna have to tell dad he ain't having grandkids.  The notes are mysterious and there are no conclusions. Anything about unlocking a stasis tank is conveniently forgotten.  Man, I'd gladly whip a electrode into behaving.  The uranium will show up soon so the plant will soon be operational, despite sharing an island with hollow-eyed monsters. Yay?!  Cameron offers exposition on things we already know and have been told several times. But on the plus side, having found highly obvious pieces of paper and pushed a button, we're now allowed to leave. We can never return, because Uranium is fond of that too.  Nukie may seem like an abomination, but she's actually pretty rad.  But rad Pokemon like her don't have to listen to me. Nuclear Pokemon are uncontrollable with barely restrained hatred for their own trainer. Back into the box Nukie goes, I guess.

Oh... oh god. Did you really name something after that atrocity of a movie that was Nukie? I mean, it's fitting, considering this is an atrocity of a Pokemon game and is nuclear flavored, but still, why? Also, not sure how I feel about Nuclear turning the game into even more of a game of rocket tag at this point. On the plus side, the game goes by faster at least?

The nuclear pokemon palette is really weird but there's a few pokemon that it works really well for. Also, goddamn. It's ugly as sin. This is why you don't tamper with existing pokemon for fan projects; the evolutions/pre-evolutions that get added are abominations, even moreso than the OC abominations.

Congrats, you hatched a NeoPet. Radiation sickness can actually make you pass out, right before it makes you dead. To have passed out after such a short time requires quite a heavy dose of radiation, and presumably our intrepid trainer will be dead within the day, if not a few hours. (And, really, he probably shouldn't have woken up at all.) Wikipedia has a lovely chart.

First of all, big thanks for referencing OFF, a spectacular RPG Maker game everyone should play frickin' yesterday. Also the crab evolves into a crab-themed ripoff of Torterra (visually) because of course it does. Also they make Corsola a Corgi, because why not. I bet they even think the original Corsola was named for Corgis, that's how dumb they had to have been to make some of these designs.Orange Fluffy Sheep posted:

The point is that Shadow Pokemon were so cool so here's something original that has clearly nothing to do with Shadow Pokemon but is just as mature. Because there's clearly nothing like Shadow Pokemon here. Pokemon that got more aggresive than usual, who stop listening to the trainers, and whose type is super effective against everything? Clearly not Shadow Pokemon.

I eagerly await the scene where we meet a team of intrepid dungeon-crawling Pokemon except their last dungeon got bathed in radiation and now they're nuclear mutants, like, some Parasite Eve poo poo. Or a Pokemon photographer complaining that radiation ruined his film before hopping in his weird circular buggy and driving off.

Wait, so all wild Nuclear Pokemon can just ignore you in battle, or is it just the special boss one? Because if it's the former that's real dumb, not a great way to get people to use the new type you introduced.

I am continually surprised at the smaller things like not being able to come back here for any reason. I mean sure there's radiation pokemon later on, or a way to form change them or something, and getting a bunch of pokemon that don't listen to you is less than ideal but still. Especially since it's apparently a pretty important place to the plot's background!

The B and C list spinoffs often include the kind of plot beats that edgelords love, stuff that's only horrifying if you overthink it like being frozen in time for centuries or getting corrupted by evil so hard you can't love any more or being turned into a statue and your soul going to actual hell. It only makes sense that a plot like this would adore them. They're not like the main series's "wussy kid games" for "casuals" about fighting through gyms and becoming champion and the power of friendship.
