Turns out couch lad isn't a sprite because he doesn't initialize south or pop in like sprites do.
Ah, so he's actually part of the couch.

What does "Initialize South" mean in this context?

Probably that all sprite entities are facing south when the map is loaded and change to their intended direction after that.

It's only the Final Battle once all the players are ready.

Yeah, it takes a frame for them to "remember" their proper facing when a character is first loaded in, at least in gen 1.

Oh well, it's better to do it yourself now than to have to get owned in ep. 19 where Ame dedicates an entire chapter to wrecking your credibility because of this one tiny mistake.

I've caught up to the end of the thread. This game sure is a thing.

Back on page 225 someone asked for a cast listing of who's who and their status and someone else made one.
In the midst of my non update post skimming I stopped to look over it and saw things like "Gossip Gardevoir: sacrificed itself to blow up a Hypno" and "Cain: stuck in a black hole".
I assumed whoever wrote up the list did it as a joke and had a nice chuckle.
Then the update after that post had the reveal that Fern decided to work for the bad guys (which was what his blurb said). I didn't realize that the poster went back and updated the cast list as events were covered in the LP.

It's impressive that just cataloging what all happens in this game comes off as absurd and unbelievable even when you're through episode 12 or so in terms story progression.

The post in question, for anyone wondering.

I appreciate the optimism of assuming that characters eaten by The Hole are actually gone and there won't be a quest where we have to dive back into the hole to pull them out. Preferably while a higher stakes situation is going down, complete with people bitching at us for screwing around.

a rescue mission? Nah. Gardevoir will be like possessed or something and we'll have a ~tearful reunion~ to get her back tho her usual self. Cain will, in whatever stupidly dramatic fashion, make a big return maybe/maybe not be brainwashed or crazy. Luna will be brought back, to diffuse tension &/or escalate drama, by Shade or will turn out to BE Shade or something since those two are linked

Gotta think stupid, gotta think dramatique!

We know there's a good chance there's Undertale-style Arceus-induced metatextual tomfoolery afoot so it's safe to say that whatever stupid we think of probably won't live up to whatever stupid Ame actually comes up with to support all that nonsense.

Won't stop us from trying :v:

True reality is on this side of the screen

What's the bet that Shade is first world Radomus who we are told has caused everything to happen as part of some stupidly convoluted plan which gets revealed in an hour long cutscene with every speaking character verbally fellating both Shade and Radomus for their "intelligence".

That assumes that, by the end of this trainwreck, the 'writing' staff remember that the whole 'first world' crap ever was a thing.

Lost track of this thing after life (and a certain Conception 2 LP) got in the way, but I finally caught back up.

I find myself wondering why. I mean, not just why I subjected myself to this again, but why is the game even a thing? Why do people like this?

There’s a fine line between telling a mature story and telling a story in a mature way. 99% of these types of hacks call on the wrong side of that line.

There's a lot of people that confuse something that's not suitable for children as something that's valuable to adults. Usually they're teenagers. And on the Internet there's a hell of a lot of people that never changed the opinions they had as teenagers.

And if you pause in that frame and Fly away when a trainer should have gotten into a fight with you, you get the Mew glitch!

Thanks, that one trainer northwest of Cerulean City on the strip of land where you can find Abra, I've failed to fight you probably a hundred times now when I do stupid things on my twenty-year-old Red cart.

Right idea, wrong target. Arceus wants these kids off his lawn. (Whether 'these kids' is the entire town or the crazy kill em all cultists acting 'in his name' is uncertain.)

Reading this post made me remember how awful just about every character is and how borderline mind killing/ actually offensive this game's characters are.

It's pretty likely that Luna & Samson will survive; unless Amethyst wants to introduce two more characters at the last minute then they're gonna have to survive in order to have the gym leader boss rush. With that said, Amethyst makes bad decisions and this game is a whole load of bullshit so watch her drop in two more OCs with zero personality.
