Thank you so much for the kind words in regards to Rejuvenation, both in the video itself and what people are saying in the comments! It makes me so happy to read AGH 😭 And personally speaking, I fully agree with what you followed it up with; Rejuvenation really is an exception in terms of quality standard. We put the bar extremely high for ourselves, but it is not the median for fangames as a whole, and I don't really think it's fair towards other games to consider it as much. I think every fangame deserves a fair shot and judgement without it being compared to a project of this scope because realistically, most projects do not take 10+ years to hit completion! Or revise half the game multiple times! And that's ok!! Not everyone is as unhinged as we are about polishing a game to perfection and it's probably healthier that way for everyone involved LOL. Fangames can still be amazing even without ridiculous scope and always should be given a fair chance. But again, thank you very much!!!!!!! I'm so glad to see people enjoy Rejuv as much as they do!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm very thankful for all the work you guys have put into rejuv, but I really wanted to make sure the community understands that such a thing shouldn't be expected as the standard for free to play fan games. I'm glad you enjoyed my segment about it!

Yooo! You’re part of the Rejuv team?! Thank you so much for making such a wonderful game! The secretion right before you get the gift Mawile (being vague for obvious reasons) was so powerful. Same with what happened in Amethyst Cave. And the side quests! I always look forward to doing them when I find a help center! Seriously, you’re all doing incredible work. Thank you so much for the many hours of entertainment! Lastly, at this point that Dragonite needs to be fired.

Ashen Frost is probably the most out of the box from all of then. Its a complete life simulator with a great story and engaging characters. I'm halfway through it and despite the difficulty spiking sometimes, it's exactly how Pokémon should start doing their games.

I recently played Pokemon Atlas, its a spanish-made fan game with absolutely stunning visuals and a really great storyline. The game is only on its second demo with 4 playable gyms but it was a really fun experience nonetheless. I'm not connected to the Atlas team whatsoever I just played it recently and would love for it to get more recognition so that the devs could notice their hard work paying off and good things happen for the game!

For all the flak that Reborn gets, it needs to be said that it was the prototype of Amethyst's dev team. The innovative biome mechanic is my favourite of all time including Gamefreak's additions (MegaEvo included). I believe wholeheartedly that Desolation will be their vest work yet once it's complete. I agree the Dreamscape arc was the best bit of storytelling and game immersion i've ever encountered in a game (excluding the Mass Effect 2 & 3 games) frantically scouring every visit to make sure I didnt miss anything. Another significant moment in Desolation is in hour 2-3 that has your heart sink (IFKYK) and you can honestly see the evolution of storytelling from the Reborn and Rejuv being the seeds to subtly inform the player that all is not what it seems. Great list btw thankyou

i recently started playing rejuvenation because of your past video talking aout it. i was looking for a new game after i finished the current version of vanguard (which is my fav fan game to date and i still think about on a daily basis) and i really have to say thank you. because pokemon rejuvenation is so nice to play, it scratches the exact itch i had for a fan game and its the first time that a game with not that many fakemon has given me this much enjoyment. i have never looked at pokemon the same way as i do now.

I personally find Insurgence and Reborn to be masterpieces, but I understand that they walked so that future fangames could run. Rejuvenation and Desolation are two of the three "Reborn Evo" games alongside Reborn, and they share many of the same devs between them, and it's really cool to see how their ideas have evolved in the over ten years since Reborn started development.

I knew which gane you'll put as the top... And you're right: Rejuvenation, as a game, is an experience that is fresh for those who are new and want a challenge or a good plot... But for those who saw it grow up for a decade, and how those things are implemented or used as easter eggs... This game is like seeing a child who you watched growing up, you played with them, you know them from beginning and they remember you how much time have spent invested... And it remember you how many changes have been to this point...
@Jack_The_Ripper-lb

Agreed, I like how the game seems to imply that each and every version of the game that released takes place in different timelines from one another, or the fact that both routes seem to intersect with each other at certain points.

I think it's also a testament to how good Rejuvenation is that even people like me can recognize it. I say "people like me" because I honestly love Rejuvenation, but I can't really play it all that much because it doesn't really fit my playstyle. I love playing Pokémon games with good stories, but the main reason I want to play a Pokémon game is to collect (to follow the "Gotta catch 'em all" motto), and Rejuvenation is not friendly to that playstyle at all. Even with that, I managed to make a full playthrough of it (prior to the current version) and still had tons of fun with it.

I am happy that you put rejuvenation at the 1st place! It deserves to be in 1st place as the developers have poured their heart and soul into making this game and its just mind-blowing and surprising at the same time that they all were consistent and worked on it for 10 years!! I mean that's just insane and the story, plot, character development, environment, tilesets, animation effect and everything about it is just amazing. I really liked the fact that you took the right approach and spoke realistically on how unsatisfied and complaining can people be no matter how good a game or a thing is in general. They always compare stuff and blabber unnecessarily about the pros and cons of anything. I mean they should respect and appreciate the developers for their consistency and the efforts they make to develop such a amazing game. Thank you man for making this video 🙏🏻. I liked the whole video and every single point that you made was understandable and everyone has different opinions but the points that you pointed out were reasonable. So yeah please keep making videos like this and I will surely support em👍🏻💯

​​@@RukoS-xy6joThe thing is, you can't just go ahead and complete every single side quest in an area within a matter of minutes, start off with the small ones first, then progress through the main story and level up, then take on the big ones when you're sure of yourself. But I agree with your last point, hopefully they'll implement something like that in a future update.

when it comes to insurgence the reason I still hold in in high regard for a couple reasons despite playing a very large number of fangames and romhacks is 1. nostalgia, i started following fangames when i was around 14 years old and i remember following the head dev on Twitter looking forward to sneak peaks and playing the full game on release was a good feeling 2. the sheer amount of delta forms, alternate forms, and megas is insane. all in all there is about 300+ practically new Pokemon giving TON of different team comp options and a large majority of their designs are awesome 3. the story, while not great i find endearing. it can be a funny kind of bad at a lot of points making it entertaining. it's why i much prefer insurgence to something like reborn because with reborn the story and edge it is so dry that it just makes for a boring adventure. it also has a decent amount of QOL features like ev/iv training and audio training readily available after the 1st gym. I recently played Insurgence about a year or 2 ago and it by no means holds up the best but there is enough there to keep you entertained

Rejuvenation is so GOOD! I’m playing it right now, actually. Just dealt with a very grumpy carnavine. The characters are SO good. I adore Nim, Aelita and Mosely especially, but the others are wonderful too. And the towns… they all feel so different! Goldenleaf is probably my favorite because of its vibes.

There is a modified version of Insurgence that provides Qol improvements and more called Pokémon Detergent. It also allows you to get more Delta Pokémon before the post-game.

Rejuvenation, Desolation and Reborn are great in their own ways. The latter also has the Reatomized mod, which adds in all the Pokemon from Uranium and also Infinity. Absolutely mindblowingly fun. Pokemon Empire would be my number one though. Fantastic story, great characters, stellar Fakemon, a dynamic story that goes places even Rejuvenation doesn't go...and the dev team is wonderful too. It's also very challenging...definitely up there with Reborn. My only gripes with it are some of the puzzles and some of the overwrought NPC dialogue.

Rejuvenation isn't just my favourite fangame, its my favourite pokemon game period. It has EVERYTHING I want from a pokemon game. A good story, interesting characters, split paths, a beautiful overworld, tons of replay value, new pokemon forms and most importantly, a good challenge. I am on the newer side of fans, (played v12 two weeks before v13 came out,) but its no understatement to say that Rejuvenation is the single best pokemon game I've ever laid my hands on. I wish the devs success, and can't wait for future updates. (I can't wait for v14).

I recently finished Reborn and I genuinely think it's a masterpiece; Amethyst Liddell and her team put in like a decade of truly pioneering work and it paid off massively. Now I'm really looking forward to what is apparently quite a beefy postgame! Also Rejuvenation and Desolation share a lot of their dev teams with Reborn, and collectively they're called the "Reborn Evo" games, which combined with what I've heard from people who have played them makes me super excited to try them out myself!
@cameroncase1730
@cameroncase1730 День назад
In my opinion, Reborn is the gold standard for fan games. For those who mentioned "growing up" with Rejuvenation, following the development with new chapters, that was what I got to experience with Reborn. I loved the story and the characters, and still do to this day. And yes, there are a lot of characters in that game, but the challenge and the story was always engaging for me. Eventually, once E14 of Rejuvenation comes out, I'll start the game properly (started it a couple of times beforehand), but for now, I do love what Reborn was for the fan game community.
@TheAstrobiologistOW
@TheAstrobiologistOW День назад
@@cameroncase1730 Yeah honestly I feel like Reborn is kinda THE fangame success story just in terms of not only its own merits but what it's done for fangames going forward in general. Niche as it is, it and Reborn Evo have really become an institution in their own right in the Pokémon community. I haven't really been keeping up with Rejuvenation, is Episode 14 slated to be the completed game or do they still have a ways to go?

Rejuv might not just be my favorite fangame of all time, or even my favorite Pokemon game, it might just be my personal favorite *game* if they can stick the landing. Genuinely, aside from past Football Manager addictions, I don't think I've had a game own as much of my brain as Rejuv has. I think another thing is that with *so many* characters, and yet all of them being distinct, everyone can find at least one character that they can kinda see themselves in. Still gotta play some of these games (once I'm done with Unbreakable Ties), but the ones I've played I generally agree on except mayyyyybe Unbound which I haven't replayed with a more critical eye yet (I remember enjoying it on my first playthrough but that might just be new toy smell).

I am curious, what are your thoughts on Super Pokémon Eevee Edition? It’s personally one of my favorite fangames and most of it I’d attribute to the concept of the “Super Eevee”, a special Eevee capable of swapping between different Eevelutions, and how fun it is to use it, especially with the slightly more “real time” final fantasy style combat.

Rejuv and Reborn are bar none the best pokemon experiences one can have if you actively play Pokemon. If you want a creative one go for Salt N Shadow, but nothing compares to Reborn and Rejuv, and ever since they nerfed the highest difficulty in Rejuvenation, Reborn takes the crown no questions asked imo. I think its just a natrual conclusion if youve played many romhacks /fangames. You want rewarding exploration, a huge world and diffucult but doable battles, with a nice progression and a rewarding lategame, thats all there is to it. You can say you like a story or the graphics but those dont keep you playing. You can say you like fakemon but that wares out extremely quickly if you play for more than 3hours. Play Reborn and Rejuv, if possible leave months of space between the two. Edit: Pokemon Reloaded is the best non-pokemon pokemon game there is, if you find the above too difficult play Reloaded, you will finish it

I, as a huge Pokemon Insurgence fan, having it as my favorite pokemon fangame, I absolutely agree on the negatives on the game and will add even more to it: - I believe that locking the majority of the deltas in the postgame is really sucky, especially when a lot of the empty areas would've used an extra delta encounter or 2 Koril town for Delta Tangela, Amphitrite city for Delta Dratini, etc. Like why put Delta Diglett in the post game when playthrough normal and ice deltas outperform it, it's just a slap in the face. - Whilst you mentioned the story being confusing, it doesn't stop there, it's straight up not FINISHED, Jaern just disappears, Audrey is just gone after her rescue, we don't get any info on Reukra and Sylvan's bond, Adam is just stuck in the nightmare realm, The 3rd gym leader (which I forgot the name of) is just...revived off screen??????, Xavier does nothing but switch houses, the region is left with like 4 working gym leaders at the end of the game, you finish the game by sealing a whole race of people to their doom, it's just...what?? - The battles, whilst great, I absolutely love them, (1500 hours on the game speaking), it's really just random how hard they'll be, there aren't fights like in Reborn which you can pin point and say they'll be hard each and every time, cause these ones are just never consistent. - The team variety (maybe just for me) is really lacking, think which deltas will you use every playthrough? Bisharp, Gardevoir/Gallade and Haxorus are definitely there and the last 3 are filler slots. - The way some characters just get shafted throughout the entire story, like after the 3rd Gym Jaern just pops out of existence, and after Utira town you don't have another rival battle....for 4 gyms, until you get till the next Damian fight. - The game doesn't run as smooth and that's mainly a problem i've noticed after playing fangames like Reborn where it just moves so buttery smooth, it isn't as atrocious like let's say This gym of mine or Omicron/Zeta, but it's still just not as good as a lot of other fangames. With all of the negatives I still hold Insurgence very dear to my heart and love it, a lot, and will forever keep loving it a lot, mainly due to it appealing to me a lot, to what I look for and enjoy in pokemon games, through things like each delta being "Special", that you can get only 1 of which, making the act of getting the delta's seem like a collectible which I can't overstate how much I love, and even if the characters and their stories are weak I still found myself attached to Persephone, to Adam, to Nora, to Reukra. It's absolutely an incredibly flawed fangame for this time, in comparison to it's competition in these days, and it's mid by comparison to others, but it's my mid and i'll love it till the end. Great video btw.

Desolation was very much fun aswell, I enjoyed it immensely and it would probably be my second most favourite but I managed to softlock me at some point and that made me quit the game entirely. But it's been quite a while since then so I may return in the near future and try it again. Rejuvenation was also a pretty neat game but I had and still have some problems. The first problem was my mistake entirely, I don't like fakemons (if I want fakemons I play different monster taming games, not like Pokemon is the only one) and I mistook these crypto pokemon for fakemons, as at that point I had never heard about Pokemon Colloseum before. Then when I tried it my second time I just honestly got bored of it after getting quite far, but I would be willing to try it again. Regrettably my third problem prevents me from trying again, it's just not finished and I can't expect me trying it another time once it might be finished. That's what Reborn now has as a clear advantage, it's finished and I knew I could pull through after replaying it for the third or fourth itme.

I absolutely agree with Rejuv being number 1. The characters and story nowadays are written in a way that's so crazy in scope yet so endearing to me that it's practically changed my life. The Rebornverse community may be flawed, but thanks to Rejuvenation I found tons of new friends to call my own and brainnot about the game with. I can't say that for any other fangame I've played. Both the community aspect and the sheer quality of the game, with so many little details that made me "ooh" or "ahh" or guffaw, make this a modern masterpiece in regards to what a small, low-budget team can achieve through sheer passion.

Ima be so real, I drop Rejuvenation after the shadow mons were introduced. Not cause I don’t like Shadow mon it’s just cause I thought it was boring and heard it was really long. Is it really that good?

Imo the first like 4 or so chapters are probably the most boring for me but yet still very important to the story and everything, I would say when you get to blackstreee castle the game picks up a lot, I even dropped rejuv for like 2 months when I got to keta but just decided to pick it up again, and will I now have 2 completed save files one paragon and one renegade with almost 300 hrs in total and will do another complete playthrough when v14 comes out

My favourites are for sure rejuvenation and reborn for their combat system with the field effects and their difficulty. Reborn especially (because it was my first one out of the two) taught me a lot about pokemon that I never knew. I've done a few monotype runs of Reborn and they are really fun and challenging. Also the experience in general is just very fresh, after every gym badge you are almost always making new additions to your team because these two games don't just shower you with overpowered pokemon until the late game and the post game (for legendaries). The only ''bad'' thing that I have to say, is that I now can't play any fan games that don't have speed up lol.

Which of these games have an easy way to grind levels such as candies or audino trainers? That’s a big factor in what determines if I play them
@dinglechalk4092
@dinglechalk4092 22 часа назад
The ones that I know that has easy griding are Pokemon Desolation [Num. 2], Rejuvenation [Num. 1], and Infinite Fusion [Num. 9] (there are specific trainers with fused pokemon that give a lot but you may have to search their locations). Pokemon Realidea System [Num. 8] may not have an audino or candies grind but the level gaps feel balanced, in my opinion.

Some things I'd like to add about Pokemon Odyssey that I feel should be mentioned is that its heavily inspired by another rpg series, Etrian Odyssey. Though I suppose that should be fairly obvious to anyone who played those games. (Like me!) The rom hack also has its own named protagonist called Nyx who has her own personality and dialouge, something a lot of fan games/rom hacks dont have from what I seen.

I just finished Insurgence and I loved it and am looking for a new game to play. I thought the story was the second best feature, behind delta forms. When I heard the 3 of the 5 main cults worshiped the 3 hoenn box legendaries, I had low expectations because I thought it would just be team aqua and magma. But each cult felt unique in what it was trying to do and the characters that made them up. The only other fan game I've played with an actual story was Unbound (and I only got like 5 gyms in), but I thought Insurgence had much better world building in general. Like the cults actually used the ability of the specific legendary pokemon to do achieve a goal instead of "3 legendary birds guard door for some reason" I do have a ton of complaints about the game though. Having tm's only be available as hidden items on random trees really grinds my gears. And the graphics for the moves were really bad. And there was too much backtracking every time you get a new mew transformation if you wanted to find new stuff. The puzzles were really hit or miss too.

You know I’ve been meaning to say this about Insurgence so I just wanna say it: Pokemon Insurgence is the Dragon Ball Z (specifically Z maybe a bit of OG too) of the Pokemon Fangame world. It was the one that many people started off and hold in such a place that they swear it’s the best, when in reality they either have barely dipped their toes in others or they have a huge bias. In reality Insurgence isn’t that great but I will stand by that it is good and doesn’t really stack up to anything more modern. I will agree that the music was a crime. But at least it wasn’t Zetta/Omicron, now that game was a hot mess

12:20 With this sentence I feel compelled to justify myself. I often defended Insurgence in your Yt comments (changed name and profile my name was FEFE488 before) but I have played dozens of pokemon fan games and rom hacks (also games on your list like reborn, rejuvenation etc.). I love Insurgence and in my opinion it's the best fan game but I have never thought that it would be flawless, I agree with almost eevery point of criticizsm (except your criticizsm on the Story) but points like the music or routes never disturbed me that much while I played it. I always loved it because of it's story, difficulty, boss battles, gyms, new forms and new megas because those are for me (and I think for many people who love Insurgence as well) the most important and most fun points while playing pokemon and in those points as a whole Insurgence is far away unbeaten in my opinion. But now I keep watching the video, I'm hyped to see your other favorite pokemon fan games.

But at the end of the day, what matters is what your favorite(s) are. I like to make my voice and opinions loud with videos so that maybe some other devs can learn from them, but if every fan game was made the way I like it the scene would be very boring for many people. Just keep playing what you enjoy!
