Amethyst's Victory Lap

[@vereornox1352]

Lmao. Was waiting to see your reaction to victory road. I have mixed feelings on it. On one hand I love how they mix the narrative into it and just the feeling of finality is amazing. The spirit battles are amazing and a great substitute to random nobodies in victory road. On the other hand, it is an incredible slog to get through and made me almost lose my mind and dread going through it again on another save file.

[@shutup5555]

The logic puzzles have a gamewide save state, so if you get to them on another save file it will ask you if you want to skip it. Same for some of the more tedious puzzles like the one in Route 1, Pokedex completion for Poipole and Magic Squares in Devonyx Building

[@vereornox1352]

For real? Holy shit that's great. Victory road gonna still be a slog to get through with how long it is but at least no more logic puzzles, Pokédex completion and route 1🤣

[@LordWallace]

@@shutup5555 Route 1 puzzle is pain I'm so happy to hear that. As for Victory Road itself its just too much. Puzzles themselves are mostly fine but I could have done with maybe just one or two of each kind of puzzle instead of 4 or 5 rooms that repeat the same puzzle type. It's bloated beyond belief.

@@shutup5555 im so glad for this for the next run i do... but for now i want to shoot myself in the foot for the goddamn ice puzzles lmao

[@masamune0202]

Shit dude, I stopped before this episode back when they came out because I hadn't played further myself and didn't wanna get spoiled. Now I come back to find out I'm an Aegislash! Fitting. I can live with that, even with Metagross being one of my favourite pokemon.

Nice to see GDSlayer still be viable, btw I'm GDSlayer I made a new KZbin account, old got screwed over

To answer the Porygon-Z thing at around 39:25, Porygon-Z was a King, which has +1 Priority. Your blaziken was also a King, so it was a speed tie. Chess Board was a massive overhaul

LMFAO that Dana White clip surprised me

[@tsyumamatsuthehavenofguard32]

Ah, I see you thought the same thing and grinded to lv 100. I also tried to diversify my tm layout, but of course the one tm I needed, taunt, was moved.

Please give my name to the Golurk

Heeey thanks for the Pinsir!

[@andynightsky]

Not sure if you already answered this but are you considering finishing the playthrough through postgame or no

[@LordWallace]

probably will stream postgame

[@LeoNuzlocke]

My current speedrun record of Victory Road is a little over 80 mins with having the answers to all the logic puzzles and wall hacks on. the blind playthrough is gonna be about 8 40min episodes

[@LordWallace]

Bruh I have FIVE MORE HOURS of footage to edit and I've only done up to the the Ruby room and Sirius when I left off x.x Amethyst no

[@tokunboolaoye1843]

You should use the password "easyhms" in the pc, so you don't have to teach your pokemon the hm moves every time you need to. The move can be used as long as you have a pokemon capable of using the move.

[@khensiapco3336]

i think they’ve said in the past that its an extra challenge for them?

[@lukaskback9710]

Not to be that guy or anything, but if you’re trying to make a point that this game is beatable with “normal” Pokémon while also allowing items, x items and switch mode, you aren’t really making a point in the first place.

[@LordWallace]

I play on set and bag items are how people play normal pokemon rpgs with non competitive mons. I actually wasn't too clear about this to be fair so forgive me but my "point" was that Reborn isnt inaccessible to people who can't be bothered to build competitive teams in game. If people saw me reinforce the idea that this game is only beatable with perfect mons I think less people would want to play it which isn't what I want. I'm also 100% certain the game is balanced with the idea that you'll use bag items (and every other advantage you can muster) in mind. Once upon a time I did finish Reborn Hardcore mod with the itemless restriction on so maybe on a replay/streams I'll put in the effort to do itemless again!

[@lukaskback9710]

@@LordWallace I get that, I'm not trying to tell you how to play the game. I'm just saying that since a lot of casual players play with these restrictions and do just fine, so there isn't much of a point to prove when it comes to the game's accessibility. Reborn isn't all that difficult at the end of the day.
