Loudly declaring Hitler ws right in a mainstream game for a mainstream audiance wouldn’t go over well you’re right

Which is why you had AZ. The dude that did everything Lysandre did only to realise he was wrong call out Lysandre as dumb.And everyone else called him out as dumb. And then the only reason he goes through with his plans is when he gives you the option to stop him the zelots in his org go ‘yeah, we know what he saud but no’ and he just shrugs and goes ‘they forced my hand, might as well’

XY’s plot in the games is a trip when you really get down to it.

I’m still amazed the plot was even greenlit. Because of how close it comes to several characters wanting to go Hitler Has A Point.

The Holocaster was not exactly subtle.

Replaying Heartgold for the first time in over a decade. Got up to 7 badges already and I'm really fucking hating all the roadblocks they keep putting in the players path to pad out playtime that aren't something to find a path around like using the pokegear radio for the snorlax in kanto.

Just went through the last several gyms back to back and then they just put a guy in the way telling you to go explore johto more. when I already caught the Red Gyarados, went to the safari zone, destroyed the Rocket hideout in that town, and am having fun with an Ampharos with Thunder + Charge and a tank of a Meganium that can spam synthesis and use poisonpowder. Though Johto feels kind of hollow and empty compared to Sinnoh in Gen 4 and HGSS is not as good as I remembered because of shit like that.

Remember as a kid having to do some glitch fuckery to get to the last gym in Johto because of the random roadblocks on both routes up there like this but I guess three level 40 pokemon aren't really enough to take on the E4 at this point.

The O.G. Gold/Silver games had those same roadblocks too. You couldn't do shit after Red Gyrados until you took care of Team Rocket. I think you were able to face Pryce at the gym after the basement hideout and then you had to go to the radio tower.

Also yea, your pokemon have to be at LEAST lv55-60 because Lance will just steamroll you. Hell, you'd be lucky if the other E4 members didn't 1 shot your pokemon at that point. It's practically why I solo it with 1 pokemon until post game.

The fact that the community hates roadblocks but insist HG/SS is the gold standard will always amuse.

I remember ORAS got shit on for that.

It helps that speedrunning G/S HG/SS is easy. Almost feels like your incentivised to stick with just one mon.

That was what I had to do. Another shopping trip to goldenrod and suddenly a billion team rocket guys are everywhere and the rival shows up to ruin the disguise. Also caught a shiny Ho-oh by throwing a master ball at it and gave my Amphardos an amulet coin so I don't have any pokedollar problems anymore after buying 10 hyper potions at a time.

It definitely feels that buff move + any damage move is the play here when I keep catching buff move + synergy damage move for most pokemon somehow. It will never not be funny when the game claims a Thunder + 1-2 charges is “not very effective” when I KO just about every pokemon from full health that isn't immune to the damage type.


I’ve been having good luck with meganium/amphardos/sandslash so far all in the lower-mid level 40’s.
Got to the point where I have a good amount of elixirs saved up for the E4 too and left off at the start of victory road.

It doubles the damage of the next electric type move you use smart one.
The special defense buff also helps.
Click to expand...

Firstly, why would you use charge twice. They don't stack. You HAVE to use an electric damage dealing move on the turn after charge for it to work. You're just raising your special defense an extra stage that you'd probably be better of attacking.

Secondly, using charge before Thunder means you risk wasting your charge turn AND your Thunder turn because of Thunder's shit accuracy. It's more risky than just using Thunder twice unless you're being autistic about preserving power points. Missing twice is a 9% chance, but using charge and missing is a 30% chance.

What's that about a supposed Biblical mistranslation in the DMs, by the way?
Click to expand...
It's not actually a mistranslation. Thousands of years of study and tradition have always held that it specifically refers to homosexuality. Only in the past few decades have some people tried to tie it to an old Roman practice of raping young boys. Everywhere else that the word is used in the Bible, it is very clearly adult male to adult male sex and relationships.

What makes me want to strangle the fucker is that there was a twitter thread started afterwards to try to paint this as the dev defending pedophilia, which is more spin than an industrial washer.

So is the discord of the project still locked? What about the subreddit?

You know why, but choose to cope. Evil cannot create, they can only corrupt. Trannys and redditors can't leave anything they come across unturned, it all has to assimilate in order to fit their sick mentality. It's a pokemon clone, probably a childish hobby (haven't played it so IDK), a perfect victim for the manchildren with colored hair to attack under the name of gayness. Peace was never an option for them.

Remember, anything that is comfy on the internet will be ruined as soon these "people" get a sniff of its existence.

I mean the dev is just a cuck if he truly believes what he believes he should just have stand his ground and said he didn't wanted Troons or troon sympathizer in his community. If more people were like J.K Rowling, this people wouldn't be able to do such drama. Anyways he should just let this people tear it other, the game will die without him

Troons have started drama over a Pokemon fan game named pokerogue because the lead dev has decided to retire from the game due to his addictive personality making him unable to lead a project of such size an popularity without him having a healthy work-life balance, citing religious reasons of him being a christian as one of the things that influenced his decision.
Trannies on Reddit and Discord with the help of part of the mod team launched a shitfit over the message spamming tranny buzzwords everywhere they could. leaving the other mods to lockdown the discord and blocking any mention of gender or religion on the subreddit.

He also said:
"I'm far from pro-trans"
"I am strongly biased against an environment that encourages children to be trans"
"I personally don't buy the narrative around puberty blockers"
etc. while citing religious reaons.

So the Community Happenings post isn't accurate about the shitfit unless they cancelled the guy before they saw the private chats. Either way, extremely petty behavior but it's to be expected that there would be a lot of troons hanging around in the Discord of something as niche as a Pokemon fan game.

Well hgss was surprisingly forgiving when beating red on the first attempt with underleveled level 40-60 pokemon.

Ampharos with thunder wave making the enemy team paralyzed kept buying me time to heal my team back up and it helped that the amulet coin kept me at 200-400K pokedollars at all times in kanto so I had the hyper potions and revives to spare. Did the same thing for clearing lance on the first try and paralyzed the dragonites.

Actually saw an enemy trainer’s pokemon run out of moves for the first time in a gen 4 game after all these years when red’s venusaur started using struggle because I healed through all its damage moves.
