Let's Sperg Pokemon Desolation (Screenshot/Blind LP) - A fangame of a fangame of a fangaem of a fangame...

[Funny Valentine]

​

What is a dream? A series of thoughts? Images? Sensations? No... perhaps it's something more?

Welcome to the Ayrith Region, a large land mass split into several islands. Ayrith is clouded in mystery, with strange, inexpiable events happening in every corner. However, somewhere deep down, there is something more to this mystery. Something unexpected, impossible even. You will uncover this secret, and go down in history.

What is your dream? Is it to be a hero?​

As recommended by my good friend and fellow farmer @Mary the Goldsmith (check out his LP of Reborn it's pretty good) and several other fangame LPs, I decided to try my hand at doing a screenshot let's play! This fangame seems to be promising, with multiple branching paths and a lot more! I'm sure this'll be a grand 'ol time, won't it? But before we start, please take note: I'm not doing a Nuzlocke, this is just a blind playthrough with my thoughts and commentary along the way, so bare with me, please! And last but not least, I'll be taking recommendations and ideas from the thread! I hope you enjoy.

My commentary will be normal while dialogue "will be in quotations" for reference.

Spoiler: Prologue: Pokemon Trainer Kira Just Wants To Live a Quiet Life

One long ass download later and we're finally ready to play the game!

Already we're at an interesting start, the music is rather somber, not what I'd expect from a normal Pokemon game... as in... a normal Pokemon game.

Lets play the fucking game already.

"You wanted some fun, no? Just another adventure?"
Yes.

"You tried to play hero in an unforgiving world, of your own creation."
Shit, sorry for trying to play Minecraft on Survival Mode, asshole.

"Did you ever consider the consequences of what you did?"
"All that you've done?"
No. Absolutely not.

"Don't worry. I'm not so different."
Who are you? Shadow the Hedgehog!?

"So then, shall we start from the beginning?"
Please don't let there be a forgettable beginning cutscene, please I just want to play the game already...

"Tell me your story, one last time... start from that boat."
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO--

Ava: Come on! Why won't the damned computer work!?
And here I thought Shadow saying 'damn' was bad- okay I'll stop--

Scarlett: Maybe because you keep hitting it? Huh? Just maybe?
(BONK BONK BONK)
Scarlett: Stop hitting the poor thing!!
Ava: Wait! It unfroze! It's working!

Wow. Such invigorating story, and it's all on a black screen too.

Ava: Come on! Time to get your trainer card sorted!

Oh boy! A character I don't care about!

Ava: Look! It's Rosetta! I can't contain myself!
Just let me pick my fucking character already.

Rosetta: Good evening, tourists! It's a cool night here in Cellia City! Perfect for the upcoming tourists on the cruise!
Why does this sound like Rejuvenation-

Rosetta: Welcome to the Trainer Registration Program! My name is Rosetta!
I don't care.

Rosetta: I'm the Fairy Type Gym Leader and star singer of Cellia City!
I don't caaare.

Rosetta: I'll be guiding you through the registration process!
Please do.

tits or gtfo

-regions in the world, due to it being composed of many large islands!"
Alola would like to have a word with you.

Rosetta: We hope to give you the nicest possible stay!
Rosetta: We have one of the richest battle cultures in the world here, but before we get to all that we have to get through some chores!
Rosetta: Simply follow me as I navigate you through the prompts on your screen! Let's get started!

I already know the controls so lets skip thaaaaaaaaaat...

I ALREADY KNOW HOW BATTLES WORK I'M NOT A CHILD

Let's see, yadda yadda, there are 12 gym leaders in the Aryith Region and we need to fuck them up or some shit. If you don't collect badges, your Pokemon will piss on your shoes or whatever.

Hooray?

FUCKING FINALLY. We can finally play the GAME. Ye.

I can hear every genderspecial cry out in terror all at the same time. Let's go with girl.

I like the one on the left. She reminds me of Julayyyy

Hmm... now this one is a toughie...

UNLESS....

Shoutouts to @EnemyStand

Do I look like a JoJotard to you? Yes.

Today we enter the wonderful world of Kira, who definitely isn't a serial killer in the making.

Give me your hands, shitface.

Ava: Bye Rosetta!

Right up your ass if you don't quit bitching about it.

Damn bitch, you live like this?

just-"

Ava: Oh, well uhh.. nevermind then.

Kira received her first item, the Aryith League trainer card! My back fucking hurts lol

Ava: Now that you got your piece of laminated plastic, how about we get lunch? I could eat a horse.
You. I like you.

Scarlett: Ava! You can't eat-
Ava: God, I can't say anything around you, can I?! Okay, okay. Lets go grab ourselves a CIVILIZED meal, huh?
Scarlett: Agreed!
Ava: What a handful... we'll meet you out on the deck where they dish up, Kira.

For now, this will be where we take a break because holy hell my back hurts. Kira now has her Trainer Card, and once she has her starter, everyone is a fucking goner.

On the next episode: Kira unleashes her stand- I mean.. starter.

Why does every pink hair "girl" need a fucking bow? Please tell me scarlet has a bow in her hair to mimic Rosetta.

If she's later revealed to be a lesbian I'll eat my own shorts.

 

[ChucklesTheJester]

Don't need to, I am sure she will eat them for you if she is a lesbo.

 

[Polyboros2]

Kira looks like a wholesome trad waifu that doesn't belong in the danger hair dystopia of the Reborn/Rejuvenation/Desolation-verse.

 

[Moral Decay]

Having backlogged the Pokemon Wack thread recently, my what a difference in production values. I hope the rest of the game is as good as the art.

I hope it is, I'm planning on doing Episode 1 in about an hour or two, depends on my motivation.

 

[Gensou Hadou]

I read a title like Desolation, I expect a post-apocalyptic world. Unfortunately, this game is by the same Amethyst as Pokemon Reborn. Now I need to ask: Is this game going to be quite as pants-on-head edgelord wacky as Reborn?

 

[ChucklesTheJester]

Production value and wack.

The approach a lot of fan games take is very much different from wack.

A lot of fan games aim for the look of what could be a real pokemon game in alternate universe. A lot of love and care goes into them, maybe a little too much, and we end up with stuff like reborn.

Wack on the other hand. Aims for nonsensical fun. It is the embodiment of shitposting.

 

[Fictional Character]

I read a title like Desolation, I expect a post-apocalyptic world. Unfortunately, this game is by the same Amethyst as Pokemon Reborn. Now I need to ask: Is this game going to be quite as pants-on-head edgelord wacky as Reborn?

It's not by Amethyst. Just like Rejuvenation, it's a fangame of a fangame. And it's more edgy from what I played (I'm at the first rival battle with Scarlett right now.), but on, for lack of better words, grander scale. Reborn is edgy characters based on edgy roleplay and the main plot is something for them to do. This seems like it's attempting to have an epic, dark plot. That said, I'm very early in the game myself.

Edit: Desolation's starter is amazingly disappointing. And not in the way you think.

 

[Mary the Goldsmith]

I really like Kira's design and I like the character speech portraits, I know very little about this game so I'm excited to see what it has in store.

 

[EnemyStand]

Fire starter, name it as close to Sheer Heart Attack as you can get. Revel in the fact it has no weaknesses.

Alternatively, Grass starter, name it as close to Emerald Splash as you can get. Revel in it never being deflected.

If we're making Jojo references, my vote is and always will be to go full retard with it, especially if you're starting with the best villain in the series. Oh, and welcome to the Kiwifarms Pokemon Fangame Screenshot Let's Play Cinematic Universe. I'm looking forward to having more of these threads to read.

 

[Funny Valentine]

Sorry for the long wait (I mean, long as in a couple of days) but here's Episode 1!

Spoiler: Episode 1: Mucho Texto

We continue off from where we took a break and Kira already has a thirst for blood.

Oh?

YOU.

Eh. Not much to say here.
Kira: I should probably go get a sandwich, I'm starved...

Lets put on some fitting music while we continue onward, shall we?

Oh, so you've seen it, huh?

Okay FINE. I'll go. Kira, begrudgingly, follows the narrator's orders and goes to see what- NAH FUCK THAT LETS GO THROUGH EVERY DOOR.

A victim.

Nobody: Oh, hello trainer!
Kira: My name is Yoshikage Kira. I'm 33 years old. My house is in the northeast section of Morioh, where all the villas are, and I am not married. I work as an employee for the Kame Yu department stores, and I get home every day by 8 PM at the latest.
Nobody: I assume you've looked outside, we're just passing by Amarie Island. It's one of the larger islands in the Ayrith Region, but don't expect the locals to be too friendly. In fact, I've heard the forests are still dominated by natives.
Oh boy! Native genocide! My favorite!

On the second room to the right, we find the ugly lesbian's diary! Bets on her sperging about Rosetta or whatever...

Fuck this. Lets just go already.

On the room to our left, we find.. a kitchen? I guess?

Oh.

Kira: Good to see you again. (sarcastic)
Ava; I was just brushing my hair, but this damn thing keeps jumping out of its Pokeball!

Kira contemplated murder, but hid it behind a normal tradwife smile.

Ava: I think he wants food? I dunno. What? Were you worried or something?

And we're then given the choice of saying either Yes or No, but because she craves hands, we say yes.

-invincible."

lol

Nobody will suspect a thing.

"Reputation points are given or removed for each character depending on the choices you make and how you treat them. If you do or say something a character likes, their dialogue will turn green, and reputation points specific to that character will be rewarded. However, if you do or say something a character dislikes, their dialogue will turn red and start spamming racial slurs in the chat you will lose reputation points for that character. Your actions will have consequences."
okay cool can i get my pokemon now

Ava: I'm starving!

We don't even get our Pokemon yet. Fucking Hell.
So we head upstairs and-

OH BOY MORE SHIT I DON'T CARE ABOUT

So two sailors are talking in a room about windows and also weird anime faggots in black and red, sounds like our run of the mill bad guys!

So after that boring cutscene, we finally take back control of our perfectly average protagonist. Lets get some fucking food already.

Kira: These sandwiches are imported from St. Gentleman's, right?
...

Scarlett: The lights are bright, the skyscrapers reach beyond the clouds and the city never sleeps!
Kira: Sounds like Hell to me.

As long as she doesn't go by xe/xir pronouns, we'll be fine and dandy.

Ava: That is.. after I've met her. Yeah, you'll have to wait for your turn, sorry.
Kira: (Murderous temptation rising)

-your people."

And so we meet the (probably) antagonist of Desolation, WOMAN.
WOMAN: I'm don't know why you bother. I'm not even here for you.
I ain't here for you bitch, FAG OFF.

Does it include genocide?

WOMAN: And for you to feel as though you could waste my time?
YOU MUST DIE!
WOMAN: I expected something better than words. Yet, you think you can get away with a pathetic little... truce? HAH.
WOMAN: Let me make one thing clear. Fuck you.

...okay, just kidding, here's her actual dialogue.

-remove you."

Oh boy, we're already getting to Reborn levels of edgy!

Man: How dare you... Listen lady, you're here to make an agreement. You WILL make an agreement.
WOMAN: Or what, hm? I could get rid of the both of you in an instant.

Those St. Gentleman sandwiches must be really good if the group of retards can't hear what this bitch is saying.

Man: Hmph.
WOMAN: Sure thing. I've been waiting on my plate for hours now.

What a twist! Ava isn't a retard and actually heard what WOMAN was saying!

-from those people."
Can I get my fucking Pokemon already?

Kira: Hm? Yeah, sure.
Ava: They don't seem like people that should go unnoticed.
Scarlett: We'll just wait here for now. Don't take too long!
Ava: The captain is in his office upstairs, Kira.

FINALLY we take back control of Kira. Like Reborn and probably Rejuvenation, this fangame suffers from CUTSCENES THAT LAST FOREVER.

And we're not even at the part where we get our starter yet.

Okay, who the fuck are you?

Oh god, it's a bitch. Quick Kira! Get away!

Orange Haired Faggot: God damn it!
Kira: You kiss your mother with that mouth?
...
O.H.F: Oh? You saw some kind of argument? Interesting...

-hopped aboard this cruise ship."
..Okay?

-do except cook them."
..just kill them. It isn't that hard.

CAN I FINALLY HAVE MY POKEMON NOW

Fuck.

O.H.F: I'll be in my study. Keep this between us. Last thing I need is a bunch of idiots panicking.

Okay then... asshole. I'm already twelve minutes in my vaporwave album and I still haven't gotten my starter.

And so we reunite with our gaggle of dumbasses.

Welp. Nothing. So we go downstairs and-

Oh. :Y

WOMAN: How about you mind your own business, brat?
Kira: I'm 33 years old-

Get the fuck away from me, can't you see I'm a 33 year old minor?

And then she fucks off, just like that.

So we go and tell the orange faggot!

Probably immigrants.

-door. I guess I'll meet you there kid." Aaaaaand fade to black.

Let's go downstairs!

Orange Haired Faggot must be really good at games like Fallout if he can pick a lock that easily!

Nothing.

Oh eat a dick.

Uh oh.
We found a fucking bomb.

So we're now outside and-

THEN GIVE ME ONE. I'VE WAITED A FULL HOUR FOR THIS BULLSHIT.

Okay so to make a long cutscene short, WOMAN killed some people and is trying to bomb the boat.

Please don't tell me that's a Speedboost Blaziken.

Thank you, plot contrived bullshit! Very cool!

Shut the fuck up, WOMAN. You nigger jew.

"We are the Black Foxes"
We... are furries.

WELCOME TO DESOLATION
THE EDGIEST FANGAME (not really)

We're alive!

"Anyway, the name's Connor."
"And I'm Kira. Kill yourself."

You think it's over? NOPE.

Time to spam the Z button! We need to get our fucking starter already!

Oh hey, Ava. I thought you were dead.

-thugs will catch us."
The rumor come out, Does Kira Is Sargon?

Yadda yadda, WOMAN wants to make Rainfurrest 2021 a thing, and we gotta stop her.

I'm not stopping until I get my starter. Lets just fucking go.

Wait. We're finally here! Our starter choices include:

- A Skiddo
- A Litleo
- A Spheal
- A Doduo
- A Venipede
- A Pancham
- A Rockruff
- An Electrike

And so, as per request by @EnemyStand, we choose the Litleo!

Ehh. Close enough.

And this will be where our story concludes for now! On the next episode, Kira murders her first victim!

 

[ChucklesTheJester]

The whole hour long thing was a joke right? Please tell me it was a joke, and the game didn't literally take a hour of people we don't care about going blah blah blah.

 

[Funny Valentine]

The whole hour long thing was a joke right? Please tell me it was a joke, and the game didn't literally take a hour of people we don't care about going blah blah blah.

I wish I was joking. It felt like a literal eternity to get through.

 

[ChucklesTheJester]

You know what vanilla pokemon was missing. Hideo Kojima level of cut scenes. -Creators of Desolation probably

I tried my best to make it at least somewhat entertaining but my god it was PAINFUL to go through.

 

[ChucklesTheJester]

I tried my best to make it at least somewhat entertaining but my god it was PAINFUL to go through.

Makes you wonder if these people thought this is what pokemon needed to be better.

Can't wait to see what else the game devs added and thought pokemon needed.

 

[Funny Valentine]

Honestly, people like you commenting on the thread are the reason I keep playing this dumb game.

 

[EnemyStand]

Ah, a cat-like Fire Pokemon. I approve. Luckily, Kira didn't need to trim her fingernails.

Yet.

But damn, if the cutscenes were that long I can see getting frustrated. Conner pisses me off. I'm sure whoever wrote him thought he was being realistic, but very few people in the world go that out of their way to be a dick. Well, let's see how much edgier they can get.
