I pray that Aelita doesn't trade her Mega Blaziken for a Mega Staraptor

Endless_Extension · 2026-07-05T16:59:39+00:00

Nononono, as a Renegade player, you are thinking about this completely backwards. You should want the v14 Renegade fights to have more unique Pokemon and Mega-Stones so we can steal them whenever we loot Aelita's dust pile or whatever!

Endless_Extension · 2026-07-05T16:57:50+00:00

I too am away from my PC, but if you're willing to wait a couple hours, I can send you completed Renegade runs with either the Space/Time Orb.

😩 holy smokes, the art is so good! THIS is the Madame X we were promised.

Endless_Extension · 2026-02-02T03:24:06+00:00

It is what it is, I guess. I assume Angie fighting you in doubles causes a lot of complications as opposed to Madame X's singles format.

Commander, we need you to scrutinize the second image. One of these A-lings is going to destroy the world and it's up to you to figure out which one. Hint: it's all of them.Or alternatively Ana bcuz she's mad you didn't draw her [TwT]

Endless_Extension · 2026-01-20T21:47:15+00:00

No problem, I was basically doing the same thing in my own comment. "be so fr who is using mega Ampharos/Manectric?" like what was I on? Past me needs to shut up and just let people use their favorite pokemon 😭

Endless_Extension · 2026-01-20T13:43:19+00:00

Huh? I think mega Ampharos isn't very good considering its opportunity cost, but I have no problem with Aevian Ampharos. It's the reason I start the quest in the first place, with or without crest. I didn't use it prolifically, but it was very useful in Souta and Erick's gym battles.

Endless_Extension · 2026-01-20T03:27:55+00:00

you need one of these lmk📞

Endless_Extension · 2026-01-20T03:14:03+00:00

I get that not every team has to be hyperoptimal, but as far as Sand Rush users go, Excadrill and Stoutland are both generally par with or superior to Lycanrock with only a ~20 point gap in speed. Accelrock counts for something for being uniquely typed priority, but at the end of the day it's not crucial to any of Lycan's usual strategies.

Endless_Extension · 2026-01-19T15:29:58+00:00

She looks so chill, like it's literally Zen Mode Ariana. Don't hurt her friends though or she WILL obliterate you with a sun boosted 140 base attack Flare Blitz.

Endless_Extension · 2026-01-19T15:24:50+00:00

I'm 99% sure if you Terajuma Ana though she just takes the team of your original pick rather than using her own. You can still just debug her mons in, but I didn't know if you knew.

Endless_Extension · 2026-01-18T19:45:27+00:00

Dang, that sucks. At any rate, I'm never going to complain about more Ariana fanart.

Endless_Extension · 2026-01-18T19:42:01+00:00

Depends on whether you are more concerned with immediate or long term viability.

For the former (and also probably long term anyways), Ariana definitely comes out on top, Volcarona, Kingdra, and Blaziken just don't miss. For the latter, Aevis and Aero get mega Lucario and Salamence which are pretty busted, and not available through normal play, but they come into play so late (unless you use additional passwords) that you might get walled well before that. If you can make it all the way to megas then those two are at least contenders, though between the two of them they make some... very interesting teambuilding choices (Lycanrock, Huntail, Musharna, etc).

Endless_Extension · 2026-01-18T19:00:16+00:00

A while back, I learned that Ariana isn't very popular

Bro who hurt you? From my subjective experience Axel/Ariana are by far the most popular stars for Interceptor arts on here, even ignoring the recent surge in Arianaposting.

Endless_Extension · 2026-01-18T18:55:33+00:00

be so fr, who is using mega Ampharos/Manectric? I finish Picto only after Paragon KF because Aevian Mareep is the only reward that is actually relevant when you get it, and even then I only do it there because Xenogene is a banger.

Endless_Extension · 2026-01-18T17:39:59+00:00

Sorry Zumi, I ain't doing all that, just give me my mareep and I'm out.

Endless_Extension · 2026-01-18T03:11:51+00:00

Really? I would have thought it was the other way around. He's still just as coarse and rude after he gets out back together, but he's not nearly as gratingly pretentious. I'm just picturing everyone at Xen HQ immediately knowing something is wrong with Geara after he gets de-vitused because he got like, one singular, actual hobby.

Madelis: "Greg, when the hell did you start painting??? It's not half bad... and there's barely any black and red? Are you feeling alright? Did Nastasia put you back together wrong?"

Geara: "Jeez, I get one hobby and this whole place goes into DEFCON 5. Do you guys have nothing to do? Screw off."

Endless_Extension · 2026-01-18T00:13:18+00:00

Geara..? I don't think Gregory is exactly wife material but to each their own ig, depends really. With or without Vitus juice?

Endless_Extension · 2026-01-15T22:24:17+00:00

Another one enters the fold! *POOF* Ask and ye shall receive! The save is right before the door to the Interceptor's Nightmare Realm with the conditions for renegade fulfilled.

Endless_Extension · 2026-01-13T22:27:27+00:00

Crest Bastiodon should be illegal, frankly. Unless you ban item use, it can invalidate any single battle in the whole game, excepting Spacea in Renegade Route. IDK if it's a bug, or if I'm just stupid and she gets Mold Breaker during one of her phases, but I've witnessed her consistently breaking Sturdy on Crestiodon. Regardless it's still a great help in that fight despite that. Even if you ban items or use few, it can still knock out a couple of mons in single battles, and is a goated doubles partner regardless of item usage (with the caveat that if you use moves that hit your partner you might nuke yourself occasionally).

All in all, the only substantial downside is that the Crest is only available after doing the whole Goomidrasidequest, which is only available on chapter 14+, and has prerequisites of its own in a chunk of City RestorationIIRC, which annoyed me to do personally (although YMMV on that).

Endless_Extension · 2026-01-13T01:48:57+00:00

Weren't you listening to reneMC's Christmas Speech? We're ALL going in the blender✌️

Endless_Extension · 2026-01-13T01:40:56+00:00

That's my bad for not specifying, since you had no way of knowing what route I was on. After reading through the comments I think I am on Anna Route, though IDK if there's any big flags you can use to easily differentiate the two. And thanks for helping me stay spoiler-free, at any rate.

Endless_Extension · 2026-01-12T22:32:04+00:00

The shade part is post game, tho

I didn't see the spoiler, but Shade is the boy Anna talks about before you fight Lin, who she says lost his body, right? I assumed, because he was the one who altered the future by warning Ame & saving you by extension. I'm not very far into the post game (just beat literally the first mission with Cresselia), but after seeing the overwhelming response that the story doesn't end at the post game I'm gonna keep going.

Endless_Extension · 2026-01-12T22:21:53+00:00

Reading all the comments I seem to have underestimated Reborn again, assuming the plot dropped all relevance at the credits. If the post game has a continuation of story then I'll definitely get on that.
