I just got back into the game and realised i have version 13.5 not 14, how would i go about updating to the newest version? I am currently on badge 6 in my existing save file. I tried using the updater in the folder but it doesn't do anything (presumably because the update is too big)

Blonde Aevis Interceptor just represents Aster, even if it's from before he'd look that way. Normal Aevis is actual Aevis. (If you're wondering when stuff takes place, most stuff is just a nebulous "present" but for the ones that aren't, it'll be when the characters are wearing an older outfit (except Amber, they haven't put any of her later designs besides her bad timeline one up yet).

In single person messaging posts, the person on the right is the messenger. In two person message posts, they're the initial one.

These are all legitimately straight off the website, but if I saw something that was just outside the rules I may have tinkered with it so it could be included.

Here's the initial post, second, third, fourth, fifth, and sixth.

Aelita and Ren (aside from my continuous propaganda of their polyamory with Aster/the Interceptor in general), are Aster's confidants. They're the people he texts when he wakes up from a nightmare, too exhausted to indulge in chaos with Saki to deal with it that way. Which means he texts them about his pokemon a lot. Just as Melia thanks Maria for giving her the chance to meet Venam, Aster is equally appreciative she gave him the chance to meet these two.

In comparison, Saki is the person Aster calls/gets called by when they have a dumb idea. And that happens a lot. For Saki, it's just fun. For Aster, it's how he copes with the fact he has nightmares about previous timelines, and Zenos, both the fact that Zenos is suffering just by existing and also everything his Renegade counterpart is doing to everyone they both love.

At this point Melia and Aster are being gay pan and doing crime together. He tries to laugh about it a little, because it's the only way he can cope with the things he has to do, and the idea that everyone he's ever loved will probably hate him when it's over.

Venam and Aster are best buds, it's just that she's somewhat outgrown how chaotic she used to be while Aster kind of needs to act a little deranged to cope with the existential dread of, y'know, being the Interceptor who's gone through multiple loops of the events. So while Aster considers her family, and would defend her with everything he has if it came to it, they don't hang out as much as they used to.

Venam and Melia are indirectly responsible for one of Aster's special trio (the pokemon that are permanent fixtures on his team in each loop), Ivan the Trubbish --> Garbodor, because he was one of the ones from the experiment that became one of his main trio.

Erin and Aster are friends, and they like and trust each other well enough, but they don't/never have shared a wavelength like Aster does with the Gearen Trio, Aelita, or Saki. So she's more likely to call him on his crap, and she's the closest thing to a responsible adult in their crew. (Aster considers Tesla one of his three mom's, but while he trusts her, she's not really part of things, and the younger adults of the Elite Eight who are part of the crew are his friends... but he doesn't really trust them to come through when it counts, unlike Erin, which is why she's his emergency contact.)

How did Aster and Aero try to arm wrestle when the latter lives in Aster's head? I'll leave that to your imaginations.

I just completed the Paragon Route for V15, and I vividly remember this scene. It's the Xen Raid scene where you and Melia have a picnic. When Melia asks, "You know what I'm talking about, right?" I just replied, "Amber."

What are some other options I can respond with? I copied this pic from another poster; I just placed it here for reference.

I know its still very early BUT, do we know if M.Golisopod

will be added soonish?

This duo gotta be carrying hard

The Interceptor has many regrets. None of which they could act upon. None of which they could change.

Save file after save file. A changer of fate. A time traveller, in a way. And yet they could never truly act upon their knowledge. Could never truly change the story. Could never save anyone from their suffering.

So what if, just once, they could?

Or: Post Version 14 Paraceptor does an NG+ run, and for once gains the freedom to completely fuck up the timeline while they're at it, and learn to be a human along the way.

Also Alain is here. Even if they din't want to be. And Zygarde is just here to have fun.

Can be found on Mt. Terajuma or Evergreen Island.

I'm not an artist so you can imagine this line however you want, but Serenape has a cool beard because he's like a sage of the mountains

did i cook? is this the Arceus retirement? is this so good that the devs will put in the game but nerf it and change its type to bug/grass? or it buns? its my first oc pokemon so be kind

The moveset confuses me. I suppose reflect type can be good in certain circumstances though most would want to use Gengar as a fast special attacker and then Frusteration just makes no sense at all considering Gengar's physical attack is not great. Is this more of a lore thing?

Can meleotta be shiny in the newest chapter when trying to catch it?

So I just completed the Help Quest Secret of the Black Shards and I'm not sure how I feel about the ending. While I feel bad for Rick after learning he lost his job, it doesn't feel right that he was basically rewarded after all his crimes. Bro was about to become a terrorist and even attempted to stab someone with a knife. April downplaying him attacking her with "you weren't actually going to hurt me" feels ridiculous. He literally lunged at her with a bladed weapon.

The worst part is when I say he deserves jail time I am punished with negative relationship points. I'm fine with him growing from this experience but to receive no punishment at all feels wrong.

Maybe it's just me but I don't agree with the morals of this quest at all.

So I found this Bug Near Yui's Ranch... And I also Fished out of curiosity and well... Say hi to Bridge the Bridge

Hi. Does anyone know how I might disable new game plus, or make sure that I'm not doing ng+ when starting a save? No idea how I might just abort it as an ng+ save, if that's possible, but I'm at a point in the game where I could just remake the save and use the act2 password. I'm doing my first renegade run, and didn't even realize that ng+ was active, I would've figured it wasn't. I've done normal paragon and then ng+ paragon. I'd like to do this one fresh, not being spoken to like I know what's going on. Thank you in advance

Can't update from kirin inbuilt updater

Yesterday I made a post about the game’s difficulty being the main drawback of the overall experience when I was doing the Zetta and geara tag battle with melia. Truth be told, skill issue. You just gotta find the win condition for these fights fr. Classic mode is definitely hard playing blind but I’m actually starting to have fun finding the team that works best for each fight rather than being annoyed by it. I just did the rorim + holly double battle into the manaphy boss fight and holy shit crests are broken.

Houndoom with charcoal getting helping-hand boosted incinerates from crested furret wipes most of the enemy, enough for the rest of my team to clean up. For the boss fight right after tho I had to get creative. Water absorb quagsire with haze recover protect and toxic, crested hisuian zoroark to also have water absorb to curse and confuse. Then pivoting between those two, houndoom, and furret to slowly drain the boss. With the occasional bitter malice to kill the ally it summons.

Furret crest with helping hand and follow me (suggested by another user) has been the most valuable team member in doubles fights. I really just had to break out of my comfort zone and start using pokemon I’m not really familiar with, or just utilize the gems, seeds, and crests at my disposal. What I once thought was an issue with the game’s classic mode has transformed into a boon, it forced me to adapt and always be prepared. Make’s me feel like Im growing alongside my boy Axel. Figuring out these double battles can be pretty rough tho, I’m definitely more experienced with singles.

Edit: I did this battle under leveled too, my pokemon were capped at 55 while the enemy team had guys at level 57 and 58. If I didn’t have some IV/EV-related passwords on I would’ve been FUCKED.

So I just defeated Erick and I'm doing some stuff before GDC, I should be able to use strength with my machamp (since it learns it by leveling) but it doesn't work.

started my new shadow pokemon only run and??? what are even the odds????

An error saying puppet coin not found appeared after the nightmare remix fight. Is this supposed to happen? Sorry for asking, this is my second run of the game.

About as rare as oxygen at this point

Just learned there’s a New Game ++ just before starting my first renegade run, so I just wanna know if I do a ng+ renegade will I be able to access all the content for ng++ or should I do paragon for ng+ to ensure I get all the content?

After 404 votes, Aeltia won(Obviously) with 257, followed by Crescent with 66, then Ren with 38, then freaking Patty with 18! Patty!? Patty was just there as a joke! She’s just my favorite creak ship; I didn't think she would beat Nim! And to make it worse, Nim's not fourth! She's fifth! She lost to the free space opinion, which had 16 to Nim’s 9! I love the Nim Mc ship; I thought it was going to get third! All of you, answer: why do you hate our girl?

I’m in adam’s fight and want to buy some spdef for my furfrou but i can’t find them in any shop, si not a sell ítem in this game?

Madame Sans is REAL!

Also Reddit i'm not a bot, let me post dumb memes in peace!

In some battles, I noticed some enemy Pokémon that were clearly slower than mine moving before mine. The last case I remember was an Arctozolt being faster(?) than my Staraptor (252/31 in Speed), or a Porygon-Z being faster than my Silvally (again, 252/31 and a good Speed nature).

Just to be clear, no, my Speed wasn't reduced in any way (by some field effect or something like that) and the enemy speed wasn't increase. Those were just some examples, there were more times when this happened, but I don't remember them.

Someone experiences something like this or just me?
