Damn you might be right.

Chugga is a good boi, even if I don't watch his series anymore.

Are he and masae dating? Always seemed a bit one-sided

I don't know if I've mentioned this before, but these hacks are the shit. If you've ever wanted difficulty in Pokemon along the tons of content offered in Gen 5 and more, try Blaze/Volt. 2 is weaker than 1 in my opinion because of the former having less focus on non-singles but they're still a great time and highly replayable because of the full national dex gimmick. Huge recommend.

The question I have is, is it fun difficulty or is it fake difficulty?

From the few let's plays I've seen of it, I'd say both.

When it's about singles, I'd say it walks the very fine line between "overleveled" and "bullshit" that Pokemon's RPG system has. Then again, I played pokemon a lot so it probably leans to bullshit to inexperienced people. It's definitely mitigated a lot by dex variety and rebalancing, though, so overlevelling is far from the only way to progress if you're stuck.

However, when it comes to doubles/triples/rotation, things get a lot more interesting. Because of the nature of these formats, there may be times when both sides can't simply eliminate all threats on screen without specific setups, so level doesn't play as big a role as does proper prediction and team synergy. You can't just have your usual sweeper blitz everything with single target moves, for example. I'm not that experienced, so I wouldn't know if these battles had truly bullshit difficulty, but I'd argue that they get rid of the exp hurdle that can make a Pokemon game unfun at times.

Despite his numerous innuendos, Chuggaa always came off to me that he's a bit reserved when it comes to sex. He appears to have a preference for redheads and expresses "monkey love" often, but if he's not interested in pursuing a relationship, then so be it. He and Masae have such great chemistry, though, that it wouldn't be surprising.

I consider it one of the hardest rom hack on the nds and playing it on set was the most fun I've ever had with a pokemon game. However I wouldn't recommended it to anyone who doesn't at least dabbled in competitive battling have a general knowledge of pokemon battling and know what to expect to a certain extend. Leonora and Burg are usually run killers and could make you feel like running into a wall until you gave up and over grind but there's so much more you could do to play around them. Some moments can seem like bullshit when your mons got crit'd over and over again but then you realize they are holding a scope lense and strategize around that. You rarely can pick a super effective move and ohko the gym leader mons one by one, but brute forcing is still an option.

It is difficult when you don't know what to expect and still difficult when you do, but the hack doesn't force you to play in any particular way in order to beat it. The guy who made the hack did make some changes regarding typing and moveset to make some underpower one up to par with others, whether you like it or not is up to you. Furthermore, you can tell he actually put thoughts into wild pokemon distribution instead of running it through a randomizer and calling it a day.

I've never dabbled in comp related so I don't think it be for me.

I worded that badly. What I meant was you have a general idea of pokemon learn set and ability, basically you need to always prepare what's the worst thing a mon can do to your team the moment you see them.

I can barely pokemon battle my way out of a paper bag.

They're trying to virtue signal again, the message is almost the exact same as the BLM one. Hell, even the format and the amount of money donated ($200,000) is the same.

If it's not broke, don't fix it

At least this one holds any kind of relevance to the Pokemon Company seeing as how they're a Japanese company. They probably didn't want to cave on the burn loot murder one but the pressure finally got to them. This one I can at least give them a pass on.

Drayano hack are great in general. Currently playing Eternal X, which while not by him is pretty heavily inspired by his design choices. If anyone is worried about the DP remakes quality, you can just go enjoy Renegade Platinum now since it essentially updates everything to Gen 7/8 anyway, including Fairy typing. Now if he can get the big updates to SacredGold and StormSilver out some day I'd be very happy.

... Except, SAH is primarily about Asian Americans, this is the International branch, so you know that whoever wrote that is most likely not Japanese.

Did they not apologise over a few of their workers going to the Yasukuni Shrine, which praised Nippon's war crimes?

 

[Reshiram Battle.mp3]

Off topic, but does anyone here have any reccomendations for romhacks? I know Drayano's hacks are standard fare since they basically make shit like hgss playable since otherwise gen 2's level curve, even in remake, is absolute ass, plus adding more fire types to sinnoh through the full dex, but are there any romhacks that aren't just QoL or enhancement or challenge patches you can recc? I've heard some things about rocket edition that interest me, I know pokemon is a turn-based babby game first and a jrpg second but I think having story fleshed out or having different goes at a plot via different perspectives is neat. I'm just getting sick of replaying base game platinum, and while renegade is nice, I'm just wanting something that feels new.

I know I might have shilled it on the old account but Clover is unironiclly good and not just a meme game, its a technically impressive as shit and has a sense of humor about itself

 

[SnowBall]

I noticed that these days genwunners are actually gen 1 and 2 fans who worship Tajiri and hate anything past Crystal. I keep hearing people sperg his “original vision” for the series but it is nothing but a bunch of narratives crafted by nostalgics. For all we know I wouldn’t be surprised if he was ok with all the controversial things people whine about in modern Pokemon. Some nostalgics even pray for him to come back and make a Pokemon game under the delusion that it would be good and save the series, not realizing that the first two gens were also a group effort.

Duly noted, probably won't make the cut for getting put on my cfw 3ds since I don't want to explain it if i'm asked by a stranger, but I'll give it a shot on a laptop emulator sometime soon.

I won't suck Tojiri's feet or some gay shit like that but there is some sense of irony to me related to his original vision of trying to replicate bug catching after urbanization fucked up forests and shit. But as the series went on much like cities become more developed so did the Pokémon formula become more set in stone and down to a science. Now with Acreus it seems to be trying to be developing an entirely new formula so that would be more like taring the entire thing down and starting from the foundation to make a new city.
Again I don't think letting a man who probably hasn't had direct involvement in the series since the early 2000's would fix the series, but getting back to that singular core idea he had might help them refresh the burnout they have from the series overall

I mean considering there is a literal pokemon based on islamic terrorism in Clover, understandable
