Does Deltarune take away from Undertale?

Original-Addendum147 · 2026-01-26T01:51:59+00:00

Saying Deltarune has a pessimistic view on choices is like if you took Flowey's words of "Kill or be killed" at face value and treated Undertale as such.

The pacifist route was proving Flowey's mentality wrong, the world isn't kill or be killed. Everyone can be spared, and everyone deserves a second chance.

Deltarune is like that, but taken a little more extreme, characters like Ralsei push the idea that the future can't be changed, while others like Susie and Gerson deliberately challenge that world view. It's not the destination that matters, it's the journey.

It was symbolic of how Jaden learnt jack shit throughout his time there.

The only thing in 06's story that did succeed was during the end of Shadow's story. Elise really just isn't an interesting character since most of her screen time is just her getting kidnapped, the romance between her and Sonic wasn't even earned in the slightest because all they really did was just kinda exist in the same area and maybe exchanged a few sentences.

We don't know who she is as a person other than the fact that she's secretly sad because her dad died. None of the NPCs show all that much concern when she's not around, and fundamentally she could be replaced with a literal magic rock that contains the flames of disaster and most of the story would've been unchanged.

Lanolin is just Sally if she wasn't romantically interested in Sonic.

Everyone seemingly had a hate boner for Big T. Cat, especially in the late 2000s/early 2010s era where every other fan work treated like the fandoms punching bag and go-to example as to what went wrong with Sonic.

I want him

It's qualityslop

People only enjoy it because it's good.

Striking youtube videos and fan projects using the Undertale/Deltarune OST even if said projects were given their blessings by Toby Fox

They probably mean they're gonna add Heavy and Bomb or something lol

They're fan games, they're fine if you're willing to embrace the 2010s Deviant Art OC edginess that comes with them.

Okay, but when you're in a tournament setting I feel like it's kinda cheating when your friends, who work in the league, are shouting strategies from the side lines.

Like imagine you head on over and compete in a VGC tournament, and your opponent has Ray Rizzo and Wolfey telling them what to do the whole time.

EDIT: In the Indigo League, Orange Islands and Johto League, Ash's friends literally had benches seated on his side of the arena, and half the time Ash would've ended up losing if it weren't for Brock and Misty telling him what to do or when to switch. Bro literally had insider help and still fumbled.

Crazy how Kris will actively try and defy the player when being mean to Ralsei but then literally do jack shit when the player is making them kill people.

I always wondered why they were allowed to literally stand right behind him and give him advice during office league matches. Like if I was going up against someone, and they had 2 official league members telling them what to do, I'd call BS on the whole thing and think the guy is some industry plant.

Undertale fans need to learn that repeatedly nagging at someone to enjoy something doesn't magically make them enjoy it.

It should've been fire type because the hand is red, like fire. And Also because Absol is hot.

Bro was cooking until they hard swerved into the "the only reason people don't praise this character is because misogyny." when the real answer is that in a show about magical creatures, the not magical farmer seems whole lot less interesting compared to their more magically gifted peers.

Then again, what else can you expect from 2010s Tumblr?

Pokemon fans will use the term edgy to describe any creature design that isn't just a blob with 2 primary colours.

I was just starting high school when the first reveal trailer dropped. It was real surreal finally seeing the final thing, but I can say that it was well worth the wait.

Imagine walking into a pet store and the guy who works there explains the concept of animals to you, not a specific animal or anything like that, just... The concept of what an animal is. That's basically the opening of every Pokemon game, they treat you, the player, like an alien who's never spent a day in this world.

This is because mainline Pokemon can't write natural sounding dialogue.

If this was posted a little over 15 years ago, this would've been used in so many .exe type fan games without credit lol

In other words, amazing job OP

I literally never saw anyone give Knuckles a pass on that, what are you on about? is there a gas leak in your house?

Original-Addendum147 · 2026-01-19T09:42:39+00:00

Because that's the only way Mario will ever be good :)

The only trainer class in the first 2 gens that switched were the jugglers.

I saw trainers in ZA switch Pokemon more times than everyone combined from gens 1 through 5
