i gotta rant about how much i hate the mega z-ring sidequest from a game design standpoint hold on
#bwark#first of all why the fuck would you lock something so important behind a sidequest#secondly why are all of the npcs in this sidequest such neglectful pieces of shit. i don't wanna return their missing pokemon to them#and finally (and this is the real stinger) why would you put something so important behind a sidequest THAT YOU CAN LOCK YOURSELF OUT OF#context for those who don't know earlier in the game you can buy a bunch of stolen pokemon from the game's black market#and this sidequest involves returning them to their original trainers#the problem is that if anything happens to those pokemon then you're completely fucked out of getting the mega/z-ring#the game checks for the pokemon's ot so if you released these specific pokemon or traded them then you're fucked#i think it also checks for if the pokemon evolved? not sure on that one but i wouldn't put it past rebron to be that stupid#also the amount of time between buying these pokemon and this sidequest is huge#so if you didn't know about the sidequest ahead of time the chances of you getting locked out of it by some mistake go up#if it didn't infuriate me so much it would almost be interesting how someone could fuck up game design so badly#anyway. im mad because while i didnt get locked out of this quest i got locked out of different quest because i sold one of the required#items that you only get once. so im hacking it in when i unlock sandbox mode lol#reborn lb
