If someone says it one more time I'm having Florina show up as a corpse. I'm not even kidding, I was pissed off with people doing that shit back in 2010, and I'm not dealing with it now in 2016.

Well, I mean, I didn't know about that scene because I've never seen this game before, I was just judging by the attitudes present in the first update.

Yes, and you assumed that was done in a mocking way, not a 100% legitimate way. I mentioned this in the Uranium thread, the Clovers of the world are racist, and garbage, but they're also clear parody hacks, to them, everything is a joke. Reborn is 100% serious it is not an attempt at parody or teasing. I'm not going to drop anymore spoilers, and I'm not sure whether the scene I'm thinking about is Reborn or Rejuvination, or some other fangame.

You think a game that lets you be gender neutral that features a long scene in a later episode where one high ranking character talks all about pronouns in a 100% serious manner is going to use "LOLGAY" as an insult?

I don't know about you, but I think that's a spoiler. Either contest me or tag/hide it. I'm going to go easy this time since we're doing voting, but remember:

No, but Uranium pulled something similar. Right down to the complete tonal shift from grimdark to lolgay.

onmi very much needs us to know the hack with a cute pink female-only pokemon that turns into an ugly blob called Menopaws, three separate gay joke pokemon, and a literal ku klax klan pokemon, is actually really badass because they were totally doing it 'ironically', while this hack, which is insanely stupid but at least not actively hateful, is the worst thing ever

No Reborn just has one of the gym leaders pretend to be gay to protect the feelings of another gym leader and when it's revealed the latter throws themself off a waterfall.

Because Uranium doesn't allow you to be gender-neutral and then have a gay Gym Leader whose entire schtick is "LOL MAN WEARING A SKIRT".

Luckily, I *did* save your old avatar. Fucked around and found out indeed.
I kinda feel like arguing about Reborn's inclusiveness v. hatefulness is pretty premature considering we've only been through one update.

Also, I'm still bowled over that the creator of this had her self-insert torture a man to death with a Torkoal, jesus.

Honestly the only reasonable explanation I can think of is that they had at least three different map designs, overwrote the old one each time they updated it, and didn't notice that the old map assets the newer one didn't touch were still in the file.

I have a strong feeling that instead of that, this was intentionally made to look like that.

I did my best for you:



I don't know what the perspective is or whether that river/waterfall is a river or a waterfall. I also don't know why the map is sometimes a 4bit maze render and sometimes a 16bit side scroller background. It's a very ambitious genre-blending map I guess.

Ometeotl posted:

Right?! I made the same observation when the Pokemon was brought up in the Uranium thread. Just off the top of my head, they could have done a three-stage evolution line with a Mega Evolution, and made each one correspond to one of the panels, and that would have been far more interesting than just slapping the meme lines on a square block. That's what makes Clover doubly offensive, not only is the humor garbage, but it's lazy garbage, so they can't even claim the "just a joke lol" defense, because jokes require effort.

This looks delightfully horrible. I'm not very creative so I'll leave the voting for others, but I'd like to ask - as I'm probably not the only one here who lost contact with Pokemon after Gen3, think you could do a little information writeup for the 'mons you catch/use? Something like "This horrible monstrosity is a weed pokemon that I am never going to use since it never learns any good attacks and its stats are utter poo poo."

Just got to comment that since this game seems to be using modern Pokemon move-sets and all that then by and large there won't be this sort of situation. Unlike earlier generations by this point pretty much every Pokemon will at minimum learn some STAB moves that it can use with its larger attack stat, so most anything is usable in the main game.

Of course, that doesn't mean this bad fan-game can't screw over the player in other ways.
