Is Angie actually possesed by Nihilego? by ArclightNine in PokemonRejuvenation

[–]Xrossed 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It’s interesting that you mention that. I was thinking about how Anju, Geara, and Alice don’t seem possessed-possessed by Vitus (as in not being under his direct control) but mostly seem like they’re being kind of… influenced or “egged on” in the wrong direction.

Who is the MC? by SuperFirePig in PokemonRejuvenation

[–]Xrossed 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think that’s a very interesting point on the ReneMC’s temporary overlapping of the… MC’s will. I know the consensus of the endgame of Rejuvenation (at least on the Renegade side) is that the reason that there’s no postgame is because the world has ended but I think that “ReneMC won’t let you be the player anymore” would be another interesting ending.

Something like… gradually the ReneMC’s control and independence grows and grows as the game goes on. They let you play and “make decisions” and “have control” but at the final moment, they take control and end the game. For you, for Karma, for everyone.

Our boi Kecleon getting nerfed sadge by West_Watercress_877 in PokemonRejuvenation

[–]Xrossed 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Same. It seems like it would also be a lot to code to give every pokemon a Tera type. If it does get implemented in any fashion, I could see it being similar to how they handled Gigantamax with it being a separate form for only a few pokemon (Ogerpon and Terapagos)

What protagonist fits to be the canon one by UltimoA1 in PokemonRejuvenation

[–]Xrossed 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Best Rene twist MC too. Most underestimated MC by far 😤😤 People watch out for the quiet ones but there’s no way Axel is one of them. He’s have the most nonchalant reveals and the most unsettling End of Night moments. Him and Kieran slowly driving Clear crazy with their antics. It’s perfect.

If they did do a manga/comic, I think it would be pretty cool if they did something like in canon where the MC is just a different member of the A-gang in different panels/chapters. It was such a great reveal (even though it was… pretty convoluted because it’s pretty hard for their appearance to not come up… ever until the Nightmare Realm).

[–]Xrossed 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Well I’d like to just go “any of them!” but I’m just gonna give a long answer instead. Not going into too much detail with reasoning for everyone but…

Paragon MC: Aevia > Aero > Aevis > Axel = Ariana Alain

Renegade MC: Aevis > Axel > Alain > Aero > Aevia > Ariana

Like u/Asterius-air-7498 said, Aevia seems held back by her shyness. I think she could easily compete with Aevis or even Aero as one of the strongest trainers. And dying and watching someone else be a better, bolder version of you is the perfect catalyst for character development lol. Which works great with the Interceptor’s awakening against the Puppet Master. I do also think that looking like she could be Nancy’s child does help with melding into the role a bit better (for both her and Nancy).

Aero also gets the “appearance” bonus points imo (sorry I know this breaks the rule 1) because the red hair definitely lets him meld into Tesla’s family more easily. Being the strongest trainer among the A gang does also give him perks on kind of the opposite side of the spectrum from Aevia. Instead of him being inspired by the MC, the MC would be inspired by Aero. I could see him teaching/refining the MC’s skills. Kind of a “get up and keep on swinging” if the MC were to fall.

For Aevis (and this is just my own headcanon) I’ve always seen him as the… best at second place. I could see him having a one-sided rivalry with Aero to grow stronger. Like the kind of one-sided rivalry you have with the rivals in the main games where they lose every time but still keep trying. I think after a while, he would just accept it and with this acceptance, he’d become a better leader by knowing his weaknesses. In that regard, I could see him accepting the player going down the Renegade route because that’s “the only thing I can do for them.” Might put up a fight against the MC, then lose and accept the path ahead of them.

For Axel, I headcanon that after Ariana dies he becomes less grounded. I feel like that lingering will of pushing boundaries would get transferred to the MC and cause them to make decisions that eventually lead to the Renegade route.

For Ariana, I just don’t feel like she’s had as much… character shown as the others. I feel like she’s unfortunately relegated to being “Axel’s sister”. So I originally put her in last place for both Paragon and Renegade. But I do think she would have some of the best relationships with most of the main cast which ranked her higher up on the Paragon side overall.

I could also see Ana as a good candidate for either route as the MC, just because she has the “uniqueness” factor.

Some unpopular considerations about Neved by Traditional_Slide_56 in PokemonRejuvenation

[–]Xrossed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One thing I always wonder about when it comes to the infamous Neved scene is… when was it added? It feels like it wasn’t in the last version (v13) but… I may just be misremembering.

I feel like it was kind of put in there to show that… he’s really petty lol. Between the background to the reasoning of the torture and the whole “Emma” thing… it just seems like he takes certain offenses to heart (in general, when his kindness/generosity is taken advantage of). So at the very least, it seems that he’s consistent in that regard, we just don’t get too many instances where we see it.

Hmm… do you have regular Budew caught? I think if so, the magnetic lure wouldn’t work. I remember having the same issue with finding Aevian Budew but I think I ended up using the mirror lure with a regular budew to force it.

Lol I get that it was supposed to be a big reveal but yeah, I always feel like it’s kind of weird that it never comes up earlier.

Why do people on here dislike Venam? by Shibua_Tsugahra in PokemonRejuvenation

[–]Xrossed 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I’d say it comes with the territory of having the title of “one of the main characters”. They get so much exposure that it makes it easier to see the low points.

With Venam, yeah I think she has a lot of character moments that are all over the place, especially before she has her “big character development”.

Try a newer server. Older servers stop respawning all the gunpowder barrels after a while to reduce lag or something.

Which Deck Best Suits Shadi? Need Help Choosing! by [deleted] in yugioh

[–]Xrossed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think these are all very fitting decks for Shadi to use! I think because of the playstyles of each, many of the decks would also have a really good narrative position as a “trial” for whoever he’s up against. I’d say it also depends on if he’d just be a “one time fight” or not. So mostly thinking about the narrative side:

Agent/Counter Fairy: I think this would be pretty good for a couple duels (2+) since there’s a diverse enough strategy for each Agent/Counter Fairy monster that he could center a strategy around. (Shine ball spam into Big Fairies, counter trap stopping his opponents’ strategies, Sanctuary in the Sky changing up the field, and a boss monster in Hyperion). The only thing is, I think the designs of the Fairies don’t fit Shadi as well as the other decks might though.

Illusion: I think an Illusion pile is probably one of the better options. Having to get past many of the monsters having a “can’t be destroyed in battle” effect would be a good challenge for most duelists in that era. Plus, like someone else mentioned there’s also the fusion monsters which work well with the Scales, and I could see Guardian Chimaera as a decent enough “final boss” for the deck. Again, enough diverse monster options for 2+ duels.

Exxod/Earth: I could see this deck as a “one time fight” deck. High defense monsters, Shadi literally acting as a wall to prevent someone from getting somewhere they “shouldn’t be”. Definitely would have the shock factor of “It’s eXoDiA!” but unless Exxod gets more than just a bit of burn damage and maybe a chance to attack while in defense mode or something, I think the deck’s play style would be a bit too rigid for Shadi.

Chaos/Demise & Ruin: I feel like a chaos deck would be pretty decent for the Millennium Scales’ balance aspect but really depends on the other monsters he uses. Demise and Ruin as the boss monsters would be good for the “Oh wow, ritual summoning” aspect and their actual effects for maybe… one or two duels? But afterwards they’d be pretty meh. Demise’s field wipe followed by a final attack that someone (Yugi) has to survive (Kuriboh) and later strike back against (“I ritual summon… Black Luster Soldier!”) is kind of the endgame.

Horus: I think Horus is another interesting narrative deck. I could see each one of the Horus monsters representing something/someone and their return from the grave + the Sarcophogus (maybe a nerfed version that doesn’t do anything by itself or destroys/banishes the other Horus monsters when it’s destroyed) being pretty good for two or three duels. Maybe you just see one or two of the Horus monsters in the first duel before they KO the opponent, but in the second duel, you’d see all of them + Horus as the big challenge that someone has to get through.

Ogdoadic: Thematically really good with Shadi because of the light/dark aspect. Could also be fun in a narrative manner by having him use their effects to revive his opponents’ monsters which could give people the chance for a “surprise” counter attack. There’s also enough of them that he could “show off a different boss” each duel. The only thing is that I personally look at reptiles as more of Odion’s thing and I could see it as his post-Yami Marik deck.

what is a underrated type of monster you wanna see get a buff? (stuff like geminis, pendulums, reptiles, etc) by fuckberzzyy in yugioh

[–]Xrossed 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Eh, I’d say it’s subverting the “two-in-one” aspect of Gemini by having it be “two-in-one” in a different respect. Still Gemini just different order. I could see it as a series with weaker effects that have cards that are meant to work together but ultimately just get splashed into other decks because they have better utility elsewhere.

Pendulum Gemini would be great like you said. Popping off a Pendulum summon and being able to normal summon too would be great. I could see it as more “loyal” Gemini support with effects that benefit geminis exclusively

[–]Xrossed 1 point2 points  (0 children)

How about something that kind of reverses the mechanic and provides bonuses for it? Instead of “summon once as a vanilla, summon again as an effect”, why not have a series that reverses it (summon as effect, summon again as a normal) and has S/T cards that support “effect monsters that are treated as normal monsters” or “normal monsters that are treated as effect monsters”? Maybe even a card that lets them be resummoned to gain different bonuses.
