Probablythe first fan game I played
I've been meaning to finish up my run of this, but never got to it
And still haven't
This is a fresh start right from the beginning of the game
Because why not?
Been a while, old friendLet's relive this adventureWell this opening is newCool to see thatOh rightForgot about this flashbackThere are a lot in this gameJust so you knowEvery time I watch this I try to figure out why he walks back and forth on the stage thingOddly distracting CultsThese guys are more or less what you'd expect them to be once we get to them.......That's not that different from the normal evil teamsMagma and Aqua wanted to get rid of the sea and land, respectively.Cyrus wanted to reset the entire universeAnd Lysandre just wanted to kill everyoneThese cults are basically the same as those guys, but are creepy worshipers.(X)(X)(X)I'm gonna ignore that title drop.You guys sure you're not cultists?And sceneNow onto the set up cutsceneJust randomized because I don't remember if the Nuzlocke thing on this registers species or not.Also it just makes it easier.Now I should mention how this game is randomizedIt's universalWhich means every encounter is completely randomIf you randomize a main series game, each Pokemon in an area is replaced with anotherBut for this that's not the caseEvery time you get an encounter it's randomly chosen from all the Pokemon in the gameWhich is all mons through gen 6 plus the deltasOh rightDeltasYou know how in TCG there were cards where the mons were different typings? That's the case here.Insurgence's main attraction is its extensive collection of DeltasSome are better than others, but they're all quite interesting in their own rightSome even have MegasAlso there are unique Megas in this game All the Johto starters have one plus a few other onesBut it'll be a while until we get to thatOh voice in my head'ElloWould you mind explaining the Gengar in the back?Yeah it's-.......YesI am 6bnfzfzfNice to meet youAbsolutely I may regret this later, but for now I'm rolling with it.Sprite is the middle guy with purple hair.HmmThat's concerningAWAKENPillar Men theme intensifiesDarkrai cultistsNeatI don't think that's how Dream Eater works.She looks important..........Persephone?Greek goddess of Spring?As the leader of the DARKRAI cult?It's whole thing is nightmares.What's she got to do with this?I know technically Persephone is also the queen of the underworld, but that's due to pomegranate seeds magic. Doesn't fit.Will there be chanting?If not, you've all failed as cultists.I'd rather you didn'tI'm rather fond of life, especially my ownHuhSmart gruntsThat's new"Fun" is not a word I'd choose for thatAnd I use the word "fun" for a lot of things.......So am I gonna get any help?My dreams are apparently being munched up by this Gengar like it's the Shadow Ball tm.......MewRandom guy says he'll send "someone"And he goes with the literal mother of all Pokemon?.........SureWhy not?Wait, why did Gengar open the door?It's a ghost.I like this feature where you can see exactly what the item isIt's usefulAlso reminds me of the multiple times I've waded through many patches of grass only to find another ice healWell that's just a nice little bundle of plot armor right there................How did Mew get the outfit from the DNA?Don't mind the legendary behind meJust another gruntYeah, I don't know what you were expecting when you joined a cult, honestly.I just want to point out that this literally translates to "I call power shades and"Really?Since when has that been Darkrai lore?And yet we're seeing it now.Imma guess because she's not crazy and sacrificing people in its name.Rejected by your own god.That must stingI feel like all gods have two positions on being worshipedEither they absolutely love it or they'd rather you do literally anything else.Darkrai seems to be the later.HR might be getting some complaints about this.They gon die.Ok, if you have to force your own god to stay with you, you might want to reconsider your life choices.FAnd that is my cue to leave.Where do you hide this stuff?You saw nothing.YOU SAW NOTHING!NOTHINGWho're you anyway?You seem like Wally, but with silver hair.You're awfully trusting of me........Oh my god he is Wally with silver hair.I'm calling you Not-WallyNopeStill not regretting this nameHow you people say it with a straight face, I don't know.Ya done eff'd up Not-Wally.........Such overwhelming faithTruly compelling..............Uh.....Well that came out of nowhereAnd now I'm just gonna skip ahead to the labHey, it's GiovanniHow does she not see us enter?I don't think Not-Wally is exactly stealthyCase in pointSensing a "but" hereThat doesn't really sound like something you just throw out to two random children you don't know.YeBecome cultured, Not-WallyExcept not anymore because it's random.I've used Eevee alreadyI'd rather use one of the random starters.And those are my options.Fire gorilla who skips leg dayThe True Lord and SaviorAnd Windows 10Also leaving it off here for today. Thanks for checking this out. Future updates won't be as long. So until next time. Good night.
For what it's worth, Nuzlocke mode only enforces the permadeath of mons, so it's worth having on as it also gives some extra shop stuff (iirc nuzlocke balls are basically cheap great/ultra balls, esp. nice in randomizer) and you get a special badge/thing if you make it to the end with the mode still on (whiting out automatically disables the mode and lets you continue normally). Though, to re-enable it now you'd need to restart which would mean different starters etc.
(also regular game randomizers aren't just 1-to-1 replacements of mons in an area, they can pack the encounter tables much more heavily so you've usually got 15+ pokemon in every area, but still it's not completely random each encounter like this. that requires active randomization to be running as you play, so something like an AR code for a regular game)
Yay another written run:D,I have only played half of Pokemon insugence before I get addicted to Solar light and Lunar Dark so I am excited to see you play through the whole game.BTW why did you name your character 6bnfzfzf? Did you accidentally pressed the buttons or something.
Ok, so in Insurgence if you tab out while playing, type something, and go back in sometimes a key gets stuck when you have to name something. This is also a thing for Reborn and most non-ROM hack fan games. 6bnfzfzf is what came up when it asked for the player name, and I just thought "It's stupid and I love it"
Ta da!And then Not-Wally challenged me to a battle.......Hold on, lemme justThere we goWellGive me a couple updates.........Rare stone makes me think the Z-stone thing from AlolaBut this game runs on Gen 6 mechanics, so that's not it.........Key Stone?And as this is a nuzlocke, we skip over thisOh right, we also have followersHonestly what ultimately made me want to play this gameI absolutely LOVE followersShould mention for anyone who wants to play this, that it's this guy who gives you your PokeballsNot the professorThis random store employeeAnd now the locke begins.......I'm not complainingBut I just want to say that I've had a Flygon in several runs.And it's getting boringI'll take it, but I'm probably gonna get rid of it should a better Ground type present itself.Oh rightShould probably show statsOh cool.I can see IVsI don't personally care for them, but I like it when they're included.(Red is raised, Blue is lowered)Bye BideWowFirst Delta alreadyAnd it's of my favorite Sinnoh starterWater Absorb is probably gonna prove very useful.I kept running into wild monsMany were DeltasGive me a break.Ok, they're facing away from us, how loud are these guys?Also this seems to be the Magma and Aqua cultsThese two, logically, should be mortal enemies not teaming up even if it is to kill the 2nd Augur.(X)Oddly topical.Uncomfortably topical.Yes yes, I heardLet's fast forward, I have way too many screenshots....... Maybe a bit too far, but I think you can guess what I skipped.I will never get tired of the "spinning around allows person to change disguises" thingI love it too muchI apparently took this screenshot too early, but it should be obvious what they're saying.Not-Wally, no........FineThis world has superhero movies?Is there an MCU, and if so what Pokemon does each of the Avengers have?These are important questions that must be answered!YesYou mere grunts will be able to take on the strongest trainer in the regionI see no flaws.......This is a really bad way to do that, Not-Wally......Ok, as Damien is Not-Wally you guys are now Not-Aqua cult and Not-Magma cultSwitchLearned some new tricksLike a very useful STABLittle too close, but good enough.I doubt that, because his chant roughly translates to "bonds of death"Soooo(X)And after that the 2nd Augur gives me and Not-Wally his blessing and we go out INTO THE NEW WORLD!I summarized in one line what took a page of images for the game to say.In case you're wonderingThis is indeed the origin of that name.Only Tackle and Charge so farAnd boxedIt's insane the amount of stuff Insurgence has in itDeltas, new Megas, Mega Deltas, followers, a speed up buttonAnd now, grottos.Note: Overworld doesn't match actual encounter.........Ok so apparently Windows' defenses are equal and I didn't notice the Attack buff and Tackle OHKO'd No big lossI would only have it for 2 reasons1. Dupes/Species2. The memeThere's a trainer school here I need to look at for some reason.And now I must go into a cave and find a girl named NoraNew encounter then.Don't mind if I doHmDon't like friendship evosBut I'll take itSure I'll add you for nowAn adorable little peaI believe I found Nora........"We brought these ancient Pokemon back to life!Now let's send them back!".....I'm going to guess all of it.Also you looked in this direction earlierI was literally right next to the Kabutops, how did you not notice me before?Oh rightI have the literal mother of all Pokemon with meI think this should clear things upInstead of, you knowMe talkingBecause who wants that?"Not many people know about it, but I do because I'm relevant to the plot!"I think they're referred to as "Pixies"Was he by chance giant and purple?Had a tendency to talk about balance?Just asking will all this talk about half of something vanishing.HuhI like this changeI've seen many stories with the prophecy of "the chosen one" applying to other characters besides the main character and the other character always assumes it's them and the MC is just a waste of time.So I like Nora not assuming it's her, but training just in case.Also I don't think I have enough badges for it to listen to me.And let's skip to thatGrinded up.Force Palm hurt a bitRazor ShellNopeI see your Physical Defense rise and instead go with newly learned Thunder ShockBulldoze worksWasn't expecting the DeltaPsychic/Fairy btwA tiny bit too close........HmYeah don't think Masquerade is up for this.........FU-..........Well honestly Masquerade was here as fodder anywayRazor Shell.......Wait this was a mistakeGoggles dodged a Razor Leaf thankfullyTHE SACRED ANCIENT ART OF THROWING ROCKS!flinch
YES!MORE ROCKS!Thunder Shock para helpedAlso Charge was actually useful for once.And that's Nora beaten.
