Legit my favorite part. Glad someone else caught this

Man, I spoiled myself the surprise because the moment Versil was shown for the first time, I immediately thought "oh, he looks a lot like Silver with that color scheme - waaaaait a second. VerSil? VER. SIL. Omg"

WHY IS THIS FAN GAME SO HIGH QUALITY ITS SO DOPE

[@rockowlgamer631]

Yeah makes you wonder why GameFreak/The Pokemon Company International would ever shut stuff like this down just because its their property and so copyright issues. While they have the right of it, shutting this cool shit down just hurts the pokemon community in total. Heck Relic Castle just got shut down and no doubt that's gonna misplace love for most fans of the games that were being shared. Copyright can be so annoying at times.

[@kaitopedestrian]

@@rockowlgamer631I do think it's really unfair that Nintendo has the right to take down these games, when they aren't even gaining profit from it, they're just making it for us to enjoy My current favorite fangame is Pokemon rejuvenation and I really hope it doesn't get smited like Pokemon uranium because so many people work to make these games and for them to just be copyrighted by Nintendo

[@sunshowers3838]

Hey, making things is really hard so I wish you good luck and the thought that I hold on to to keep motivation: Every individual thing is *somebody's* favourite thing. So your creation will also become the favourite thing of at least one person who gets to experience it.

[@kali_kali_kali_]

Good luck!!! Keep going!! It will interest at least one person, and i think thats enough to work on something you like. Sharing what you like and what you can do with others is incredible

[@Mystic12321]

Awesome video, I can't believe it's been 3 years in the making. The music they went with, the transitions, the narration, and the animations with the sprites to create their own mini cutscenes to go in with the stories were fantastic. It was amazing and was well worth the wait! Congratulations on another hard hitting and phenomenal video Pcrow Team. You all did an absolutely INSANE job. 10/10. I will say though, Sabolt reminds me of a Zinogre from monster hunter and then it's Xeno form looks like Stygian Zinogre and I thought that was pretty cool.

Nah, you can tell it was a coincidence cause Nintendo didn't copyright strike them. Unlike AM2R (Metroid 2 Remake released not even a year later) and Pokemon Insurgence (Delta Pokemon came before Regional Forms)

[@KeithGD]

Well, Delta Pokemon originally came from the Pokemon TCG in 2005, they just didn't have original designs, only type changes@@deltaphazon4688

[@JojoKayoki]

​​@@deltaphazon4688 the metroid 2 remake was probably planned and in development before Nintendo found out about AM2R. If AM2R was the reason Nintendo remade Metroid 2 remake, it wouldn't make sense since how can a game of such quality be finished in less than a year? Also didnt pokemon insurgence (the full game) release in 2017 while pokemon sun and moon was released in 2016?

[@JojoKayoki]

​@@deltaphazon4688also, didnt pokemon sun and moon, the game that introduce regional form, release before pokemon insurgence? iirc, Pokemon insurgence was released in 2017 while Pokemon Sun and Moon was released in 2016

this game was released in like 2021 (full game release, not demo and stuff), while Pokemon Sword was released in 2019, either the xenoverse devs take notes of Pokemon or it's probably just coincidence

[@arrowblade_1238]

Btw, you should really play Pokémon reborn. It’s a very long game having 18 gyms, and the main story taking 80 hours, but I really think you would enjoy it, since of its semi sketchy story, amazing characters, and of the greatest antagonists I’ve ever seen before. I consider Reborn the best Pokémon game and unless I play a better rom hack or fan game, I won’t change that opinion. I also think you would enjoy the postgame, but I would be cool seeing a video on just the main storyline.
