Shiva Asori posted:Worst part is that Inflagetah has a mega form for even more power (145 atk) and speed (175), as if it needed it... Honestly, that almost seems like a waste of a mega evolution: base 175 speed is completely goddamn absurd, but even pre-mega evolution you already outspeed everything but yourself anyways and your main STAB is ~BP100 Fire-type Extreme Speed before STAB. Better to just slap a Life Orb on it instead for even more firepower and go to town on everything outside of bulky waters while saving the Mega to make something else overpowered. As a reminder by the way: STAB Extreme Speed in the actual games is only available on Linoone from an event (note that Linoone is trash even with it), Smeargle (since it learns every move; note the non-existent ATK stat of Smeargle makes it useless), and Arceus (an event legendary best described as God and not remotely balanced in any way whatsoever). That is still weaker than what is present here. Inflagetah may actually have a stronger priority move than anything in the actual Pokemon games. ...does anything in Uranium have access to Drought? Orange Fluffy Sheep posted:snip What the gently caress is that garbage; I don't remember seeing it in the TieTuesday playthrough at all and it's also completely busted. Worth noting for those without knowledge: in actual Pokemon, the Gen 7 games (Sun and Moon) nerfed Gale Wings to only work if you were at 100% HP. This was considered completely justifiable because Talonflame was bullshit even with it's pathetic base attack stat. Gen 6!Gale Wings on something with Base 130 ATK is just ridiculous. What's the strongest physical flying move it gets access to anyways? If it doesn't have anything stronger than Wing Attack it's probably actually not that broken, if it learns Brave Bird then thank god it's Bug/Flying and thus dies to basically everything anyways.

Though Choice Band outclasses that. Oh. In that case, the Mega has more of an appeal, although I would still rather save the Mega for something else. It already learns Swords Dance anyways. ...Why am I discussing Pokemon Uranium as if it had any competitive merit in it at all?

rotinaj posted:What the gently caress was the point of making this game? 9 years of on and off development sounds a lot like apathy, although the actual release was probably, as I previously posted, trying to draw off the hype for Sun and Moon and turn it to their advantage. "Hey, are you angry that Sun and Moon is getting rid of gyms, and hate how we haven't seen Shadow Pokemon since the Gamecube? We have the game for YOU!" But if they were trying to replicate what the Gamecube spinoffs did, the developers actually missed the point about even Colosseum, let alone XD. Yes, the Shadow Pokemon are heartless killing machines with nothing but hate inside of them thanks to undergoing a horrific process. Yes, XD had on the cover a Shadow Pokemon so completely corrupted that you don't even need specialized gear to tell there is something incredibly wrong with it, and with Cipher going as far out of their way as possible to make absolutely certain it couldn't be purified. Yes, Cipher is either the most evil or tied for most evil villains in the series (with Ghetis). This ignores how in the first Colosseum game how the admins of Cipher included such terrifying figures as Mirror B and his team of dancing Ludicolo, or an evil talk show host, or how the blatantly evil white-haired man you meet very early on in the game that may as well have screamed "I am the mastermind of Cipher" was actually only the second in command to the actual mastermind, the kindly old mayor of the city. Or how in the second game the actual main villain is the old man known for being charitable to everyone he meets, and Cipher brings to the field stuff like a Power Rangers ripoff and an admin that is literally a bratty young girl who hates not getting what she wants. And for all the talk about how powerful XD001 is, there's absolutely nothing stopping you from just stuffing the thing into a Master Ball and turning it right back on the organization who made it, because of course you can still capture it; it's a Pokemon game. And the grunts were every bit as quirky as those seen in regular Pokemon games, to boot. Don't forget how all those Shadow Pokemon can be purified back to their normal selves just by being actually nice to them and (once ready) bringing them to a local shrine to undo the last of the corruption (exempting XD001, and there's a way to purify even that and bring it back to normal anyways), and that by doing so they actually end up more powerful than they ever were as Shadow Pokemon. Or how the main villain in the second game actually gets convinced to not resort to his "blow up the island base" plan by his son and willingly gives himself up to the authorities once beaten. Or how between Colosseum and XD the region of Orre got significantly better to live in with Cipher beaten back and with the general passage of time; even the plot point in the first game about the region being so inhospitable that wild Pokemon didn't exist was countered in XD by "nah, wild Pokemon are in fact out there, you just have to really look for them". Colosseum and XD were significantly darker on the surface than a regular Pokemon game, but in reality were in a lot of ways every bit as goofy, fun, and hopeful as several of the actual Pokemon games if you went deeper into them. They were dark, yes, but they were still idealistic like the rest of the series at their heart, which was what made them work. Pokemon Uranium's opening cutscene went much darker than almost anything seen in an actual Pokemon game by having the mother of the player killed in a nuclear meltdown and having the father (a protagonist in a popular Pokemon spinoff many people played to boot!) becoming cold and distant as a result, and just keeps doubling down from there. Nuclear Pokemon, up to this point, have with one exception (Nucleon) been such horrible dangers that it is actually almost impossible to even use them in Pokemon battles, due to them refusing to take commands at all and with the written intent of "they are so insane and aggressive that they would turn around and kill their own trainer if they had a chance" surrounding them at all times, given what you read every time you translate their speech into intelligible words. There isn't a way to "purify" them back to normal, and there probably isn't given the permanent damage to the body that radiation causes. The nuclear meltdowns are being played as horrific disasters that would completely destroy and ruin the ecosystem of the region for years or decades to come. There is absolutely zero recourse the PC has against these catastrophic disasters, except to run as far away from them as possible to avoid falling victim to radiation poisoning (again, given what happened in the remains of the first one we explored), and nothing the Rangers or other adults can really do to help the situation either. There isn't even an evil but quirky team to try and distract the player from how horrific everything that's going on is. The closest we've seen are the evil scientist group seen in one optional sidequest, and they're treated as nothing but evil sociopaths who were the reason the PC's mom died in that accident all those years back, with absolutely zero attempt at humor, quirkyness (outside of Garlikid saving the day), or being remotely human. It's like Team Plasma but if everyone was Ghetis (and boring), and they aren't even the main villains. And I think that's the main issue with Pokemon Uranium right there; more than the abysmal game balance or terrible Fakemon designs or at times revolting attempts at humor. Pokemon is idealistic at it's core. It will tackle dark and serious topics even in the mainline games at times, but in the end it's hopeful for the future. Pokemon Uranium is pessimistic at it's core. It has (usually only attempted) lighthearted moments like the surfing ninjas, or the rival growing up and becoming more confident in spite of his repeated defeat and the probable death of his father, but at it's heart it instills a feeling of hopelessness and an incapability to change what's happening. And we haven't even seen the main antagonist yet. the Orb of Zot fucked around with this message at 06:36 on May 24, 2017 |

krisslanza posted:As bad as this is looking to be, after looking up TVTropes on Pokemon Reborn, Uranium still sounds a lot better then that one. Being better than a game where the opening sequence has you get caught in a terrorist attack and stranded in a region that makes Orre look like paradise in comparison and you see people kill themselves on screen is not a very high bar to clear. And someone actually then looked at Reborn, thought "this is never going to be finished and still isn't dark enough" and started making Rejuvenation, where several boss fights occur against "Demon Pokemon" corrupted by otherworldly portals. And I'd still rather play that than Pokemon Omnicron, which retcons Ash Ketchum from the anime that you watched as a kid into being a complete rear end in a top hat of an evil team member, to say nothing of the several other things it completely fucks up. And those are probably still better than Pokemon Clover, where the fire starter is literally a Muslim suicide bomber. And that's one of the better Pokemon designs in that game in terms of concept and execution. Compared to those, Uranium is saintly.

To be fair, Clover isn't actually edgy in the same way as the other games, it's a 4chan project instead. So it's a mixture of fakemon designs offensive by nature (the suicide bomber isn't even the worst offender in that category, there's a fakemon based off of the Twin Towers for one example, and an evolutionary line based off of the KKK), memes (one of the legendaries is literally just Ridley from Metroid but with a mustache on with the name "Notridley", and there are entire evolutionary lines based off of stuff like the dubs/trips thing or the Lost comic from CAD), and very sporadically an idea that actually isn't that bad (such as a literal dragon cannon, or a shark that evolves into a Water/Fighting pirate shark named Davyjaws). So it's still horrible, but horrible in a completely different way.

Remember what I said about Pokemon Uranium being pessimistic as opposed to optimistic? CURIE is the absolute proof of that. This is someone being evil not out of a desire to make money, secure political power, or change the world/universe to make it better in their prespective. This is someone being evil because they are literally so completely rotten to the core that it's what they want to do. This is someone who has caused two separate nuclear power plant meltdowns, only had the third averted because Theo's dad had stopped it before CURIE could get there, and when confronted about it was gleeful about the suffering it caused as a result. This is someone who literally believes that anyone that isn't it or the artificial legendary it is apparently mind controlling via the interface is an insect that must be crushed. This is the point that Pokemon Uranium ceases even trying to like an actual Pokemon game all together and finally collapses into full-blown fangame edgy territory. Welcome to the true Pokemon Uranium. SSNeoman posted:I'm honestly surprised. Not even Cipher threatened to kill people, and they made the pokemon powered by abuse. The head of Team Cipher, Greevil, actually planned to blow up his entire island HQ with you and everyone working with Cipher outside of his own two sons still on it after you beat him at the end of Pokemon XD, but one of said sons convinced him it would be better to just hand himself to the authorities instead of killing so many people for no good reason. That was the one time an explicit attempt to kill showed up in both Colosseum and XD. I mention this in contrast to how CURIE has already attempted to kill someone on screen and laughed at their agony.

I am actually in shock as to how good the ninja sidequest rewards are. Easy EV training without any cost except time like Super Training (and with there being no cost you can just automate pressing A somehow and go do something else while it finishes itself for you), the items you use for EV training to begin with via the normal method of "beat stuff up", the base form of what eventually becomes a BST 600 pesudo-legendary, and even repeatable fights that give good EXP + decent money while also giving even more EVs focused into a single stat. And if you're lucky enough to get Pokerus, that's just 4 runs to get an EV completely capped out. This is a good idea. Hell, I'll take this over Gen 7 EV training, and it's probably the third-best way to EV train I've ever seen in Pokemon or associated fan games. (Second place for reference would be Horde battles in Gen 6 once you got the related infrastructure, and first place would be how Touhou Puppet Dance Preformance just lets you distribute the EVs exactly where you want them with no fuss whatsoever)

The way Nuclear works, the only three type combinations that actually resist it are Nuclear by itself, Steel by itself, and Nuclear/Steel.

One thing worth noting is that, so far, every single nuclear move that's been seen with the lone exception of Atomic Punch has had lower power compared to moves seen in other types (compare Radioacid to Scald, for example). And Atomic Punch has only been seen on something that isn't designed to be balanced to begin with (Urayne's BST of 678 is Mewtwo territory). They at least tried to balance it with lower power. And then they hosed it up with Nucleon anyways.

Waterfall of Salt posted:The thing about Uranium is that aside from the level curve which ends up 20 levels above where it should be, the individual parts of it aren't that bad. What ends up making it a bad game are all of the small mistakes together becoming a large one. I suspect the ~9 year development schedule~ is probably a big cause of this, because it is just layers upon layers on a flawed foundation. (also, poo poo like the gamer girl dialogue is also really bad, but that's been discussed at length already so...) To take this further, after having actually played through to becoming Champion, Pokemon Clover is actually not bad in terms of the level curve (the Champion is level 70s for reference, but unlike Uranium things give enough EXP to actually level up effectively), harder than normal but generally not complete bullshit in terms of difficulty compared to regular Pokemon, and has genuinely good music (even if some of the music are memes). And the game isn't edgy in terms of the plot at all, which is a breath of fresh air. A shame that 60-65% of the fakemons are either memes, 4chan injokes, crude (anything sex related is mostly MIA thankfully), or out-and-out offensive in some way. And that the game loves going into offensive stereotypes in general in the name of humor (for instance, it loves portraying the Jews as insanely greedy/rich men obsessed with money to the exclusion of all else, to the point that the Merchant trainer class doesn't give you any money at all when you defeat them). And that the region never got as far as it could have from "blatant Kanto ripoff". And that they somehow messed up the main villain execution worse than Uranium; the evil team leader never gets her motivations or plan explained at all before or after you beat her down, whereas CURIE at least is quickly established in motivations as "wants power and to cause pain and suffering" even with how late she shows up. Also worse than Uranium is the fakemon balance, which is quite the accomplishment. By the end of the game, the BST 600 Dragon/Steel pesudolegendary dragon cannon I had with base 145 SpATK and Mega Launcher for an ability (making Dragon Pulse stronger than Draco Meteor) was only the third most ridiculous thing on my team, behind the BST 600 legendary Steel/Ghost with Levitate and a stat spread of 105/135/80/85/50/150 and the Steel/Ice literal glass cannon that's basically Deoxys-N with lower stats everywhere but Speed Boost to make up for it. It's 4chan: the romhack. When it's good, it's great, but when it's bad, it's making you lose faith in humanity. I had much more fun with it than I was expecting (congrats on making me laugh at a Your Mom joke in the year 2017), but I wouldn't recommend playing it unless you're willing to take all the horrible stuff with the good.

Dienes posted:However bad you think Clover is, it's worse. I'm talking KKK themed pokemon. Here are most of the more offensive designs I saw while playing the game. There are probably others, but overall they make up about 15% of the 386 fakemon in Clover or so.
Xelkelvos posted:Sounds like if one could extricate some of the shittier jokes and memes from Clover, it'd probably be a fairly serviceable fan game since that's where the problems seem to lie as opposed to the writing AND the balance That's the kicker: Clover has some actually good parts in it that don't deserve to be stuck in that game. There's a postgame area that actually pulls off a dark mood well, the Lavender Tower equivalent was genuinely fun and interesting with no strings attached, and in general the game could be very funny when it didn't just delve into memes or being offensive. But it does that way too frequently. I had fun playing it (which was much more than I was expecting), but it's definitely not worth playing.

No one cares about or remembers any of the gym leaders or the rival outside of maybe Sheldon and his backhoe dragon, but stuff like Anthell and the boss fight it had to offer, the nuclear power plant dungeons, and CURIE are actually kind of memorable and leave a pretty lasting impression.

gently caress you Pokemon Uranium, you don't deserve any more in-depth analysis. You lost that honor after you tried ramming an optimistic ending into a game that was inherently pessimistic, and five minutes after the main villain (who was also your mom) literally said unironically "I HAVE BECOME DEATH" and went into detail about how she would torture you and murder everyone in the region. I'm just going to say that the final boss (the champion) of Pokemon Clover was also the protagonist's mom, and it was done much better in that game. Zero offensive jokes, done as a big (and legit) surprise, and executed infinitely better than this game's finale. When 4chan: the romhack did that angle better than you did, you hosed up. How much post game even is there in this mess?

I am actually in shock that the postgame of Pokemon Uranium is still finding new ways to be horrible garbage. Let's take a function that has been so simple and critical to the series that it's basically ingrained into common memory for anyone who has played the franchise at this point, and randomly make it instead teleport you to a post-game sidequest where the things you can catch from it are level 90. And then only let you capture one of them even if you actually were walking around with your top-end monsters/somehow got a Master Ball. Why. Make it something like have both of them randomly show up in your PC box instead, without any warning. There, you still get to mess with the player, but it's not done in a horribly dumb and stupid way. Adam having a Gengar is also a slap to the face for a different reason, because it gives you false hope that you can actually get the Ghastly/Haunter/Gengar line in-game. Everything else is just the usual stuff you would expect to see out of a fangame, but that's just legit atrocious design. It's not like Mega Gengar would do poo poo against Inflatgtah anyways.

Mutios actually has a catch rate of 2, not 3. While that's already weird enough considering that's lower than anything in the actual Pokemon games (and even it's own twin), it turns out there's a reason that none of the legendaries in actual Pokemon have a catch rate lower than 3. Up until Gen 7, the Master Ball had a catch rate multiplier of 255, which sounds like insane amounts of overkill at first glance, but if you set the catch rate lower than 3, it ends up not being enough to guarantee the catch by itself. Mutios can break out of a Master Ball. I'm not even going to hold it against the game when it's something so clearly unfinished to begin with and probably just a typo, but it is worth noting why the actual games never drop so low in catch rate. (In Gen 7, the way the Ultra Beasts worked meant that a catch rate multiplier of 255 would not be guaranteed at all, since unless you're tossing a Beast Ball at them, they disable all extra multiplier shenanigans and set the catch rate multiplier to a very low number, resulting in the strange situation where Arceus would be easier to capture than Buzzwole. So in Sun and Moon, the Master Ball is set to just a 1x multiplier, but has coding to just ignore all the calculations and force the capture instead, making it pretty much the one ball other than a Beast Ball that you can reliably capture most of the Ultra Beasts with) Also I can't believe the post game was literally just 2 legendaries (of which only one had anything resembling an involved sidequest), Daft Punk, and one double battle for a watering can you should have gotten like 50 hours earlier. There's less postgame than there was in the original Ruby and Sapphire; at least there you had the Battle Tower to occupy your time. the Orb of Zot fucked around with this message at 18:24 on Sep 20, 2017 |

So it finally ends. All the mistakes unraveled, all the bullshit trainers destroyed, all the horribly overpowered fakemon pointed out, and every design flaw revealed. To think of what would have happened if this actually had continued development under the original developers, since the postgame apparently would have had a heavy focus on the pirates we saw earlier (aka the best antagonists in this game), and maybe they would have realized one or two of their mistakes and actually fixed them. But they dropped it too early to try and grab onto the Sun/Moon hype, got torn apart by Nintendo as a result, and then had their game just get completely overshadowed by Sun/Moon once it actually released anyways. And the project was conceptually flawed from the word go anyways. Oh well, Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon release in a few months and will even further bury this game into the garbage bin of history it deserves to be lost in. Good bye, and good riddance. EDIT: Would it have been possible to mod in a 202nd Pokemon, or was that not hackable with what you had access to? EDIT 2: Where's my screenshots of the game being deleted? It's not over until the game no longer exists, while the temptation to go back still remains. the Orb of Zot fucked around with this message at 03:00 on Sep 22, 2017 |
