On the subject of LPs of Pokemon games, I'm considering testing the waters about a Pokemon Stadium LP, especially an informative one that showcases just how crazy busted a lot of Gen 1 is. (I'm even considering going for 100%ing the game with only rentals, which was intended to be impossible.)

Showcase LPs are always pretty cool, give it a go! The busted nature of Gen 1 gives it an unintentionally interesting depth.

1. Why are you doing this to yourself 2. It was quite the surprise to see one of my posts in the previous Reborn LP thread put up there discussing what I found to be legit wrong with the game as someone who has never played it and immediately insulted. Considering that the first gym leader has multiple counters to bringing a ground type into the gym anyways (alongside everything else), I don't see what the problem would be with just letting someone catch a Geodude or the like before the gym to at least blunt *some* of the absurdity of the fight. Especially since that post and previous LP were back before Gen 7 mons were added into Reborn and thus the gym leader fight became even worse. Between that and the suicide, I actually have decided to play this (as opposed to my previous opinion of it not being worth my time) but cheat like no tomorrow out of sheer spite. I say this as someone who beat Pokemon Clover fair and square, so my tolerance for stupid edgy crap is absurdly high to begin with. You're going to complain about me wanting access to literally any ground type at allto make your ridiculously overtuned terrible exploding bomb gym leader slightly less terrible to deal with? Fine, I'll bring Primal Groudon at your level 20 cap and watch it still go down because of how overtuned your fights are anyways. Most of the Uber tier stuff has poo poo for low level movepools anyways, so it wouldn't even be that much better anyways. 3. I know the opening post specifically said not to mention spoilers, but are spoilers related to a mod of Pokemon Reborn allowed? Yes there's a mod of Pokemon Reborn, Pokemon Reborn Hardcore (a hard mode mod of Pokemon Reborn because it needed one somehow). And it somehow takes what just happened wrt the suicide a step further in an optional sidequest exclusive to the mod. the Orb of Zot fucked around with this message at 00:08 on Jun 22, 2018 |

Cheating would at least fix the issues regarding difficulty and lack of availability of anything even halfway remotely decent, plus it would be...interesting to see at what point the fights become so unfair that trying to brute force my way through with the most overpowered things in the franchise ceases to work. You are right in that it wouldn't fix every other problem Pokemon Reborn has, so odds are I would just drive myself nuts anyways.

It isn't Stadium without the minigames.

I did a glitch exhibition a while back but I barely touched upon how weird the battle system is (though many of those bugs were fixed for Stadium).

Wasn't its battle system also basically built without the programmers having access to any of the code from Red/Blue? I remember being really frustrated that some things didn't work like they did on my gameboy

I'm not posting anything past that unless it's explicitly allowed by OFS, because it's just

If this was any other game but Reborn, I'd say you were obviously joking, but hey, Reborn. Apparently somebody decided this game needed more "dark and edgy".

If this is true, the subtext (intentional or not) would imply blame directed at all those who challenged and defeated the real-world Corey for his suicide, since the player character presumably represents the many assorted people that challenged the RP league. Granted, it's now two steps removed from the original context, but it just keeps getting worse.

The characters also aren't constantly swerving and double-crossing and deceiving for no reason other than the writer thought of a plot twist. Reborn is bad across multiple axes, a multi-faceted offensive of bad writing, bad encounter design, bad mapmaking, etc. while M\M is a single, colossal, monumental failure at making a narrative.

Ha, thought you meant Corey's ghost turned into a Haunter for a second, but that seems more like a Yamask thing. That's a point. There any edgy Yamasks in this game?

Yay! With Crosspeice on the mainline games and a couple spinoffs, Orange Fluffy Sheep suffering through horrible edgy fangames, and now PMush Perfect on Stadium, we have so much Pokemon at once. This is very good. Unlike Reborn.

I wanted to do a TCG GB L.P. a while back, but never got around to it after abandoning my Monster Hunter Battle Card L.P. due to getting hit by a lot of stress and sadbrains at the time. So my vote goes to DotR if only because Pokemon is on my "one of these days" list, but if you do that one comprehensively, I can play out my tradition of only ever finishing challenge run LPs.

You could probably still do the first TCG game, I was thinking of playing only the sequel since I feel it's pretty much "The same, but better".

Hmm, this could work. If we each did one of the Ranger games then that would ease up a lot of workload. Who's doing PMD: Gates to Infinity?

Honestly, playing any MD other than Sky and Super is something I wouldn't do now, simply because those two are so good in different ways. Also I'd totally do Ranger, I love that series, but I can't imagine how you'd record it. Touchscreen controls in an emulator are hell. I guess a modded DS would work? And I'd follow either Duelist of the Roses or TCG. The former is a game I started but quit, the latter is a game I played the first and was always interested in the second, so hey, either would be neat.

If anyone does a SMD LP, it needs to include every way you can break it over your knee with emeras & multi-hit moves. It's the most easily cheesed PMD since the Rescue Team games(where you could be basically invincible if you picked a starter that learned Smokescreen).
