    More rejuvenation love is always appreciated. For my money the best aspect is actually the main group (MC/Melia/Ren/Venam/etc), unlike basically almost every other pkmn fangame, It actually made the main cast feel like actual friends. And then the trauma sets in. So much trauma.

      Reborn is a bit too teen-edgy for me, but i can very well appreciate the sheer amount of work that went into the game as well as keeping everything this well working together.
      But i have to say, the fate of Jenner still haunts me. It also has quite some pretty in-your-face-humour, which is not appreciated by alot people, i suppose.
      Rejuvenation has sadly a bit the dies-but-not-really-syndrome which kinda grates on my nerves. It's like they're afraid of removing major characters from the story. (i can wholly understand that, especially since the story is still being worked on) But the characters themselves are a delight. They have depth to them, they can be silly, make mistakes (and sometimes pay dearly for them), have happy and sad moments, have their own developing traumas.

    I’ve been having a blast with Pokemon crystal clear. At the moment it’s my favorite fan game I’ve played. It remixes crystal by allowing you create a character sprite, choose region, choose starter, and many more. It’s undoubtedly the best way to play classic gbc Pokemon.

    I believe Pokémon reborn is a better game than rejuvenation solely because the story is complete. Rejuvenation on the other hand has a lot of QoL changes that really help you know what’s going on. I got stuck quite a bit on reborn because I didn’t know where to go. The thing that rejuvenation and reborn do just as well as each other though, is the story. Both games truly make you care about the characters and you would go out of your way to keep them safe.

      Rejuvenation for me is better because the characters of the main cast feel like our actual friends there. Plus everyone's backstories. It's like everyone is important. We can play through their routes nd parts too. It's amazing
      Also in version 14 I think few main cast characters may end up dying which was hinted

      @@neelabh3112 Yay and not yay!
      Rejuv does have a bit the issue of people dying-but-not-really.
      The characters are great though and it helps, that the core-circle of friends stay pretty much together and relatively small.
      In Reborn it's alot more tangential with some characters appearing more (like Cain, bless this little riot) and some just kinda existing on the sidelines.
      I also hope we'll get the variant of Volcarona officially catchable somewhere, because it looks really cool and is so far only obtainable through a long ass questline with a random egg at the end, which is sadly tied to the safe-rng and not some other rng.
      Rejuvenation also made me appreciate trying to properly teambuild, since it makes it easy to actually do so. It also made me appreciate alot of usually completely overlooked Pokémon, because they suddenly became useful (Well, mainly in absence of more viable options) like Xatu.
      I also still have a trauma from Angie in Version 13. (They changed her fields effect in 13.5, thank god)

    Two of my favorite fan games are Re:member and reminiscence. In Pokemon Reminiscence, the legendary Pokemon are not only human, but play huge roles in what it means to grieve and have empathy. And ironically, it’s not even a dark game. It’s just…mature. Also, it’s a lot like Pokemon Dungeons! And in Pokemon Re:member, it brings up an interesting question. If ultra wormholes can take us through time and space…what if we could visit other franchises? You’ll play as Champion Red and explore these wormholes with two very recognizable characters from Bayblade AND Danganronpa. Later in the game, you’ll see Yugio, Persona 5, Deltarune, Astro Boy, and possibly more that I’m forgetting or couldn’t see. After all, its main story says that depending on your choices, you can change your fate. I highly recommend these games as nuzlocks(?) as well!

    Infinite fusion is a delight. It's always nice how many beautiful, cool and funny how many silly and downright cursed fusions there are (generally anything with Mr. Mime..).
    The difficulty is decent and the randomizer really does make the game way better than it has any right to be.
    I did catch the PokeRogue-bug late (after having it mistaken by Emerald PokeRogue which is pretty good as well) and i'm currently working on getting some decent egg-moves on Pokémon i like. (Especially on those that can face the two super-bosses...)
    I think my most successful strategy so far is to just growl (or similar) at them until their offensive stats are nonexistant. (Which is kinda funny in its own way tbh)
    And i LOVE Pokémon Rejuvenation. The music, the athmosphere, the characters, the absurdly beautiful spritework and the regional variants. I do have to admit, it's pretty difficult, although the devs are working hard to make things more balanced each update. I remember Valarie and Angie being backbreaking hard, while Crawley being way too easy. Now the two first mentioned got a touch more beatable (I still have nightmares from pre 13.5 Angie) and Crawley got his much needed boost. (That field+weater combination with the bugs is evil) The only gripe i have, is that the characters have the die-but-not-really-syndrome but that might get fixed when the game is getting finished. I can understand them being careful to not murder any Characters that might be needed later down the story.

    Yours will be the best when completed at least to me 😁.
    I have played so many fangames and yours have everything :
    a really great story with everything you do being part of the plot, I feel like you're always connected to the main story at any time of the game (the choice of not going on a typical gyms battle game is awesome).
    I also love the side quests you added to the game, it makes the world "alive" if you get what I mean + those are cool side quest not boring ones.
    Also no boring routes with a lot of trainers for no reason or just xp, a lot of fangames usually have that.
    Many characters with great personality and great development this is also rare in fangames and pokemon in general.
    Now do I need to talk about the regional variant 😂 they are simply amazing be it typing or design it's just awesome I can't even seem to decide on a team and I'm quite the picky eater lol (made a lot of different teams on different runs because I couldn't decide lol, thats the first fangame I replayed that much and it's not even completed).
    Also the double battle mode add a lot of difficulty but a cool one because every boss have great strategy without just being stupidly over lvled (double battle > solo battle).
    The new movepools are also great (I can see you and your team worked a lot on that to make them relevant in double battle).
    And finally I know you are going to bring mega evolution and I love them can't wait to see what you are going to do with the new possible mega
    (Also please give me mega salamence I need my Ace in your game don't put the mega gemme to far in the game 😂🙏).

    Rejuvenation or Reborn would objectively be the best for sure.

    I 100% agree with Rejuvenation. A little sad that they removed intense mode as in my opinion it was the best way to play the game (for people that like the grind). Haven’t gotten to 13.5 yet, hopefully it fixes a lot of the problems with 13. Amazing video.

    Currently playing Rejuvenation after playing Reborn (Reborn is also 10/10 imo) and it's amazing. I had tons of fun playing Reborn with the difficult battles and elaborate puzzles and heard from the community that Rejuvenation is (arguably) even better. I'm just at the beginning of the game but it's already endless joy and joyful frustration.

    Pokémon Clover for me. Full fakemon roster, the edgy humour I grew up with as a 31 year old, and the level of goofiness while still being a fleshed out, entirely new ‘Pokémon’ game is what I want. The roster also has balanced Pokémon stat spreads too and aren’t just reskins.
    I haven’t played rejuvenation though and will definitely give it a chance.

    A high game I recommend is Pokemon Unbreakable Ties. It does a lot of things Rejuvenation does (aside from branching storylines). But it does something that no other fan game has ever done which is makes your starter actually plot relevant.

But you never explained what those ideas are and why those said ideas set the game apart from its contemporaries.
