Oops, we caught the Rejuvenation thread protagonist. This has been a great LP. I would like to see Mewtwo, because Mewtwo, and I'm curious to know what's left so if you could talk briefly about the stuff you aren't doing that would be appreciated.

Finish the trade sequence, then capstone the LP with fighting the Elite 4 rematches. Like others have said, you don't need to beat the rematches, although I'd prefer it if you at least got to the Champion. It could be like Redchocobo's Platinum LP, which iirc ended with him losing to the final rival rematch.

Reukra is way too cool even at the very end. Dude's fully aware of Pokemon logic, he's just trying and failing anyways. Also yeah, please show Dev Island or whatever even if you won't actually win against them, there's no point in stopping this far!

Really not sure what was supposed to be going on there lore-wise. Arceus starts looking like Giratina because, uh, it becomes even moreso the top god? But if thats how it is, surely Giratina wouldn't look anything like that cause he's been a loser for an arbitrarily long amount of time. Is it just supposed to have stolen even more of Giratina's power, so it gets kinda half merged? And wasn't the crystal entrusted by Arceus to the Timeless in the first place, so couldn't it have done this at any time? If its just a power mushroom for Arceus whats even the point in having some humans guard it instead of just keeping or using it.

So are the Dev Island fights such bullshit that you can't even mulch through them with Primal Giratina and Primal Arceus? Cuz man, it seems like the two of them should be able to stomp anything that opposes them. In any case, I agree with other posters to show off the Dev Island fights and why they're such bullshit, maybe even as the final update. Anyway, my vote of doing stuff is this list: Find Mewtwo Catch Delta Larvesta Find Ho-Oh Finish the trade sequence (Find Genesect) Challenge the Elite Four Rematch Leaving any Delta unseen seems sad since that's the main unique thing about Insurgence, Mewtwo and Ho-oh are box legendaries and deserve to be seen, and we gotta finish the trade sequence so we can

Arceus wouldn’t have come if there wasn’t SOMEONE worthy of it. And she DID punch Rekura where it hurt the most: his pride...also his entire (Pseudo)-Legendary team.

I think at this point he knows we're going to show up and kick his rear end again, he just tries anyways on the off chance you forget to go deal with him. Like playing the lottery, only pulling a losing ticket has a small child kick you in the shins with a pharaoh bird and take all your money.

That's why he had so many Master Balls, he had to make up for his lousy aim. And somehow, he still managed to run himself down to just one. Which he missed with.

Can you use X items on Dev Island? I find them convenient for getting through certain battles (i.e., Red) in the mainline games while underleveled.

When the game sands down its edgy bits it's fine, it's a bit of wish-fulfillment but what's the point of a game that gives you mastery over some of the most powerful creatures in the franchise if not to revel in it? More importantly, it has a definite start, middle and end, which could have dragged on for lord knows how long but didn't. It knew what story it wanted to tell and told it, which seemed more like an excuse to show the player all these awesome pokemon it had, and won't you please continue because we have so many great pokemon, look, here are some more. That sort of enthusiasm is definitely infectious.

If the deltas had all been on par with, say, Pokemon Uranium's fakemon, the overall experience would've been far worse. But instead we get lovely friends like Cake Crab, The Pharaoh, Fire Dinosaur, and Spider Megazord.

Yeah, most of the gym leaders either are simply that, a gym leader, though a couple have interactions beyond that. I mean the most memorable one without any major plot relevance was a stoner and was actually pretty amusing.

M.Matsuda posted:gonna Yeah, jumping on here, same as the others. This might have been born from the hell that is Reborn (By that I mean the game, the thread is pure gold), but this was a far, FAR better game then it deserved to be. Not the biggest fan of Primal Arceus, but there are worse forms. And further echoing the love of Reukra for being an actual villain with, for the most part, respectable character. I'd seriously enjoy seeing another story with him as the main villain.
