My last post gave me an idea.

ITS THE JAERN-

Sorry just excited I really like how this looks

[the-new-torren-region]

also ok i’ve actually realised what made the insurgence cults not hit as hard as they could have

like. ok. they don’t really act like cults?? especially the leaders. they act just like evil teams who really want a specific legendary. i think this is really exemplified by jearn saying

“come forth and serve me!” to rayquaza.

i think it would have hit a lot harder if they properly worshipped their legendaries. with jearn i understand if he more just wanted rayquaza’s power, but with persephone for example, nothing about her personality or fighting style screams darkrai

idk. bit of an incoherent ramble but it’s something i wanna implement more

I’m having a list of fun with reborn,and I thought I might get into more fan games after I’m finished with it.

Note:the only reason rejuv isn’t on here is because I want to wait for it to be finished.

Rewrite! Nora and that mysterious non canon oc I keep thinking about ( will she get out of purgatory and become canon? Who knows...)

Fun lil fact: for the majority of the rewrite Nora has her hair in a ponytail and her face tends to hide behind her cap. For practicality and making herself feel more hidden. Though at some point she realizes she doesn't have to hide anymore - mainly bc the cult leaders now know who she is and she has to face them head on anyway. So she ends up ditching the hat, allowing herself to wear something more bright. Still something practical and easy to move in, but also something to show how far she's come - not letting her own paranoia and anxiety get the best of her. She's not alone anymore! She has people she can trust and rely on! They will save Torren! And yeah! That's when she starts wearing her hair down more akin to her canon design, though very much not having the glaring The Girl issue.

Tangent time: I feel like Nora's canon design doesn't fully tell us what her character is like? Yeah, she kinda looks like Celebi with the colors, but what is she like! Like she looks like your standards girly girl, which is fine, but the plot of the game never really showcases that? It could have been fun " I look like this, but there's a lot more to me than that" story line. But they don't , alas. And to be clear, I don't hate how she looks canonically, nor do I think every character design has to be super intentional - sometimes to want a character to look cool. But with the context of Nora throughout the story, it becomes glaringly obvious that she's The Girl of our main character trio. Damian is able to have a character design change as he grows as a character, but Nora doesn't? What about her design reflects this smart, albeit competing girl that takes her role seriously? Again, it's not bad that she's designed the way she is, but the design and how Nora actually acts is kinda disconnected imo. Of course, that's just me, and I am by no means an expert here.

Rewrite! Nora's first design was pretty much made with her changes: she's a much more experienced trainer, and has been training for years now. She is VERY aware of the danger she could be in, hence why wears muted colors and wears her cap the way she does. Her outfit is meant for traveling and laying low- however, one thing that kinda breaks that is her ankle warmers. They aren't exactly the most practical thing out there, but I when designing her with picrew I genuinely just thought it was cute and gave her design more shape. So why not that be the reason for Nora? She thought it was cute, so she wore it. It isn't that outlandish to have eyes on her anyway. All in all, her initial design is meant to be very closed off- obviously of someone who has things to hide and of someone who is a bit more experienced. Nora is someone who feels like the weight of the world is on her shoulders, and for so long has felt alone in her mission. Even when she finds more people like her, she's still wary, hell probably even more stressed bc she doesn't want the two newbies to get caught ( especially Damian). She doesn't really allow herself to indulge in things she likes bc it means not focusing on her own survival. I cannot stress how stress this girl is for the majority of the plot in my rewrite. She is stressed. I think a very simple way of saying it is that Nora's first design is pretty much showing how she's surviving but not living. That's what happens when you're 16 and the world is on your shoulders.

Man, I was not expecting to ramble about Nora here. I kinda feel bad for our mystery of, but uh. She doesn't even have a name sooooooooo. She'll be fine.

Picrew used ( not an invitation for a reblog chain)

It's so funny to me how many weird similarities there are between Pokemon Insurgence and Pokemon Unbound. Like, even beyond the surface level comparison of them both being edgy but well-regarded fangames that are packed with features and known for their difficulty. I'm just gonna list out what comes to mind (SPOILERS FOR BOTH GAMES UNDER THE CUT).

At the start of the game, you are asked how "mature" you want the story to be; Unbound removes this in version 2.0, but in both cases, if you choose the mature story option, people die.

In both games, you explore the region that Kalos was at war with 3,000 years ago in the backstory of XY. This is revealed later on in Insurgence, but it's part of the opening exposition in Unbound.

You are the child of a legendary Pokemon trainer who was famous throughout the region and had partnered with the Mythical Pokemon Hoopa before vanishing under mysterious circumstances; in both cases, they turn out to have been trapped in a pocket dimension the whole time.

You start out both games trapped in a secret base owned by a shadowy antagonistic faction (the Cult of Darkrai in Insurgence, and the Shadows in Unbound).

If you choose the mature story option in both games, a nameless grunt is incinerated by their boss's Houndoom before you even leave that secret base. This doesn't happen in Unbound from 2.0 onward, since the mature story option is removed.

One of the first gym leaders does marijuana (the second gym leader, Xavier, in Insurgence, and the first gym leader, Mirskle, in Unbound).

This isn't a parallel but I just want to mention that Xavier Mega Evolves his Beedrill with a Mega Bong. Make of that what you will.

Your rival in both games (at least, your first rival in Insurgence, since you have two) turns out to be the son of a major antagonist.

The third, fifth, and seventh gym leaders in both games specialize in Flying-, Electric- and Steel-, and Water-types respectively. This feels more like a coincidence to me, but I might as well mention it.

I wasn't a fan of Insurgence (aside from liking some of the Delta Pokemon designs), so I've been turned off from Unbound for the longest time because of these similarities (along with a couple other issues), but... I dunno, I feel the urge to give it another try for some reason. Don't be surprised if I start liveblogging Unbound.
