Eltosian Kadath Posted February 14, 2022 Share Posted February 14, 2022 It wasn't long before we reached and we can start with some city faffing about That would be putting off the Gym a fair bit, but I kinda like this idea, as it gets me a lot of interesting encounters along the way. Hoenn really has some interesting fantasy city ideas in it. This sounds about as genuine as all the over the top claims about hot springs in Lavaridge town. I wonder if this kid was messing with the same setting @Saint Rubenio was to get his evolution That sounds kinda unpleasant to deal with in your own home... Its nice to see more of this environmental sentimentality in this game. This really is Evil Teams are misguided the city then... Think it was a Legendary (or as this hack would make it, an Unown)? Wow, did this game just insult my character for not getting a shower? Maybe I should go back to those hotsprings for another dip... I missed an image of it, but a Wingull does run out of the room to run that errand... The game is really hyping up the Not Champion, but I guess he kinda earned it. This is so random. As far as I can tell you just have to brute force the answer to three identical questions like this. But we do get the Hidden Power TM for our trouble, and unfortunately this is the generation before we have access to a Hidden Power checker, so I either have to do tedious calculations, or its just a crapshoot whether it will be useful. That is an interesting option. This gives me access to some classic rest-talk strats, but who I do not know who I would want to give it to yet. Oh, an ingame trade I could actually do...I think I will grab my next encounter before really considering this...plus I have no idea if the ingame trades were changed in this hack. Alas the Gym is blocked off to us, even if we wanted to do it now. The other options here were Plusle and Kecleon, and if I got the Kecleon I might have tested the trade, as after missing the Voltorb, this is the only Electric type I am going to get. @AnonymousSpeed has been among the Tee Hees on some occasions, and naming the only Electric type after speed seems really fitting. Not really, I mean didn't we have a talk just last update? Ah yes, those unknown invisible things we keep finding. I guess I could face the Gym after this, but I kinda want to get down and grab some more encounters first. This is such a polite little moment, and I do take the opportunity to heal up before We face the Unown that the hack transformed all the static encounters to. A bit of an improvement really, as Kecleon is annoying to fight thanks to its ability. Not sure how he would know, as I don't think he ever saw my Pokemon fight in Dewford, but I appreciate the sentiment anyway. Why couldn't Scott be more like you Steven. Yes, lets. Now lets remove all these Kecle-unowns This might come in handy latter in the run... Oh My Acreus...this little fight happens on one of those all raining routes, so this is always going to hit ...Yikes, that is a not very effective hit, and it would have killed with a crit. If I didn't have @Benice with me I might have wiped here. STAB Thunder that always hit from a fully evolved pokemon was not the kind of things my team can really take without that immunity THIS F****** ALSO HAD THUNDER...I can't even switch to Benice to deal with that thanks to its Water Weather Ball. Funnily enough @TheRomHackist managed to live this due to taking only 5 in recoil, which means if it was Huge Power Maril it would have just killed itself. The only way I got out of that without losing someone is that this trainer just randomly using moves, as it tried a Water Pulse on the switch, which is always worse than weather ball...Lesson learned, I am looking up all the trainers on this awful route when I battle them, that way I know for certain when this horse-sh** is afoot. What is even worse, is the game tries to bait you into a double battle with these Thunder monsters with their placement, and even with Benice, that probably would have led to a wipe... Now one of the random noboby trainer has FULL RESTORES to just throw around...route 120 is just a brutal place... ...I am sorry @FlyingKitsune, of the pokemon I had with me, I thought you had the best shot of being able to one shot this, and taking the self-destruct if you had to. I should have been looking ahead, not just at the battle I was in, because I needed someone that could one-shot a Koffing in the front, but instead...If only I had one of my Ghost types with me... Ah this must be the fourth granddaughter. She isn't a trainer though, just an NPC that gives you free berries. ....WHY, oh why didn't I go back for that Ghost type. Another Self-Destruct, but this RomHackist has proven surprisingly tanky (or more likely is that Baltoy is just that much worse than Koffing). This is one of the most deserved evolutions of all time. He took a lot of punishment to get here. Sorry about that @FlyingKitsune, I will name another pokemon after you later in the run (depending on how far it lets me go before forcing me to face Winona it might be as soon as next update...) Well this gives me an opportunity to grab that ghost type, and continue on to the next encounter ...Meh, I kinda think this is the least interesting option of the route, but I rather like Gen 2 (as the others were Stantler and Girafarig). Well @TheChoZenOne, you have been Chozen to be a Delcatty on this run. Seems team Aqua is planning their assault on team Magma at Mt. Pyre, but at least they let me pass, so I can reach The Safari Zone. Catching pokemon in these things is entirely down to luck, but lets do th- Thanks for the warning, but I think this hack simplified the Safari encounters so I don't have to worry about that nonse- ...You really aren't going to let me through without this Pokeblock case thing... Sorry for ending this update off on such a tease, but I need a break from the game itself messing with me. Next update, I will see if I can get to Lilycove, and get access to this thing, assuming .

Plus I could be completely wrong about my assessment, heck I spent a fair bit of the early game calling the Ledyba/Ledian I named after @Interdimensional Observer useless before he saved the run in the Wattson fight.

You can really tell which one I put effort into. The sideways face on Camilla came out so great that I decided to put actual effort into the edit. As for Xander, that one was incredibly easy. Mostly because, when you look past the horrible beard and the gray skin, it's unreal how much Xander really looks like Garon . I was surprised by how well his face fit on Xander's head. The other two don't matter. They don't deserve to look like Garon anyway. Edited February 14, 2022 by Saint Rubenio Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sidereal Wraith Posted February 14, 2022 Share Posted February 14, 2022 Secondly, today is the feast of Saint Valentine. This day I could say much on the nature of betrayal, being taken for granted or how love is a salacious seductive serpent that can just as easily poison you instead of being a source for contentment, but I won’t. Instead I will take my bachelorhood, my freedom, and enjoy myself on this day for the first time in many a year instead of being shackled to the demands of a capricious relationship.

Saint Rubenio Posted February 14, 2022 Share Posted February 14, 2022 So I was talking with @TheChoZenOne on Discord, and this led to that, and I ended up theorizing that Garon is actually a good guy. He was playing the part of the bad guy so that heroes would rise up in revolt and ruin Anankos's plans. That's why he was so obviously, ridiculously evil. His children were complete idiots, so he had to ham up the act more and more in hopes that they'd finally get the hint. Cho proposed the "Garons of increasing discomfort" were actually him trying to hold back the tears and stick to the role, as his daughter's beautiful performance had moved him so much. He finally succeeded in his plans when he t-posed on top of his throne and ranted about wanting to burn both Nohr and Hoshido, finally making his sons understand. Unfortunately, Anankos realized his plans and ate his screentime for breakfast. That's why he only has two scenes in Rev. It was at around this point that we realized, that's just Rudolf. Garon is Rudolf confirmed. But that's just a theory-- 4 minutes ago, Dayni said: It is separate from any Fates artwork in that it's a different artist.

How did I ever think this was remotely acceptable...? 4 minutes ago, Dayni said: I could buy Garon responding like that sadly. I mean, let's not kid ourselves here - Garon's reaction to his son crossdressing would make Mr. "you are a disgrace" look like the most supportive dad in the world. ...Or maybe he would accept it. I mean, his daughter walks around in her panties and he doesn't seem to mind. Maybe Garon is actually a really progressive and understanding man, underneath the gray skin, the horrible beard and the cartoonishly evil demeanor.
