Return of Mido

Surely at this point the whole plot has to be an elaborate troll by Amethyst about the fact she's making a game based off something she doesn't even enjoy as a series for a bunch of uber competitive people.

Right?

The best thing to be done with this game is to take it and throw it down into the deepest fiery pits of hell because that's where it belongs, and may it never see the light of day again.

Ignoring all the what the actual gently caress going on here, wow Heather is insufferable. Like, I thought the idea was that her dad was borderline abusive and that we should feel sorry for her and poo poo, but she's basically just a big bully who acts like a five year old, and suddenly it's not so unreasonable that her dad was pissed off by her lovely disobedience. Hey rear end in a top hat, maybe he set a bunch of rules on you because your idea of 'friendship' is yelling at a timid girl until she agrees with your every whim.

Likable characters, I miss you.

We are all Judas, frozen to the waist in ice and eternally being raked and bitten, tortured by the satanic being who is just as trapped as we are. This is our punishment for staring into the abyss, and betraying our own souls by witnessing this.

So, she was yelling loud enough while being electrocuted to be heard halfway across what is basically a district? Am I getting this right? If that's the case, why the hell has no one investigated the orphanage and stopped this? I don't think any orphanage that has children screaming loud enough to be heard that far away would be allowed to operate.

On that topic, why the hell is Dr. Zappy even administering electro-shock therapy to someone whose only "disorder" is disobedience? That's not how a medical professional does things.

It could be a, thoroughly hamhanded, reference to ye olden times where "doctors" would give lobotomies to young women for no other reason than "hit puberty."

Mental health treatment in general has come a long way in... not very much time. Less than a century ago, asylums were still a thing. I'm not excusing Reborn because... mental health professionals don't do this kind of poo poo anymore.

Also she has a giant dragon that could tear him to pieces, and is just not using it for some reason.

I don't think this is worse than putting a real-life person's suicide in a game and then using that to throw shade at another IRL person you don't like.
But I mean, is it really a competition at this point?

I'm starting to feel like a terrible person for simply following this LP out of morbid curiosity and a love of Pokemon LPs that extends to lovely fangames.

Ha! Well, you say that, from the interview, from the question "What else was based on real events?"

quote:

The easiest answer is "most things that don't directly involve the player character or team meteor." ...the orphanage issue resulted in an actual arrest, etcetcetc. Most of the game's story was just trying to patch all these miscellaneous events together in the first place.

Severely cut down.

So Dr. Psycho there has already been commented on a bunch, as has OFS' bad taste in comic book characters.

I'm gonna focus on the fact that the best special Ice type TM isn't in the game. Do they expect you to use Blizzard? If so, do they give you a hail setter, or are you expected to use a turn to set it up?

My guess is that it's meant for Victory Road only, and that hasn't been finished yet. So it's not in only in the sense that you can't get to where it's planned to show up yet.

I don't think they (or at least Amethyst) don't expect anything.
She just does things.
Then her gross echo chamber tells her things are too easy.
So she makes them harder.
Then she finds Gen 7 pokemon that fit her idea.
And she puts those in there.
Forgetting she already made it harder.
