Pokemon uranium story series#
I figured he'd get development later on, but he was still one of the most irritating rivals I've ever seen in any Pokemon game, including both main series and fangames. I knew there was the nuclear Pokemon, but up to the point I stopped there was only 1 1/2 encounters with them (one was optional and I missed it by not knowing I'd only be able to go there before beating the 3rd gym) which made it seem more like a side plot than the main theme. Also the story seemed kind of bare to me. Also I did the sheep (forget it's name) trade and I forgot that traded Pokemon disobey since I'd never dealt with that before (this was before I played Reborn). I had two Pokemon on my team, battled every trainer, and was still somehow drifting between being underleveled and barely being even with opponents. The first time I played Uranium was in 2014, and I didn't like it that much and ended up dropping it just after the 5th gym. Even though Reborn was my first Pokemon fan-game and will probably be my most favorite one, Uranium is still a really damn good game. But anyways, long development times, but 2 completely different games that have their own unique perspectives. I remember more than a few times where I would behold a pokemon in Uranium for the first time and exclaim, "OMG WHAT IS THAT? I WANT ONE!!!" Even if later I got some of them and found out they were complete bootyhole. But it was really fun to explore not just the world in Uranium, but all the fakemon the makers meticulously made (not to mention online functionality as well!). I had no idea what all the fakemons were, their typing, their stats, their movesets, etc. Playing through Uranium, it felt like I was playing a new generation of a Pokemon game. Reborn is difficult to add a deep (albeit sadistic) layer of strategy involved and encourages experimentation. To be honest, I really don't think it is fair at all to compare Uranium with Reborn they're 2 completely different games altogether. Hooray? I hardly felt like I worked for that at all.Įdit: oh shoot, this probably should be in "fangame expose". I go to the 'mon center, properly heal, and then leave the town-īarewl (steel/rock) gets taken down by a combination attack from all three of my main mons, and his starter, the electric/water Eletux, fails to static-hax Oryx and gets vine-whipped to death. The whole town keeps dropping hints about a rival battle after the gym, so I heal before exiting, but no fight. Sure her normal derps have yawn, but even when I switch I'm racking up leech seed damage.īy this point it is painfully obvious that this game uses the same effects for moves as reborn, but on 3d sprites so it looks.not good. She runs a normal gym, which between Oryx and THE ROCK is next to no challenge. she goes up to her adoring fan and chews him the heck out. So I go to her house, she flips out about the same way I would until she realizes I'm here to challenge her. IF SOMEONE JUST WALKED INTO MY DORM ROOM I WOULD FREAK In the first gym city, I find that the gym leader is presently at home, but that I could go there and. I took a liking to the steel/rock type and named it THE ROCK. there's also the obligatory bat mon, this time pure poison with levitate. Later, in a cave, I caught two new mons- a steel/rock type (barewl) with rock head, and a ground type (grozard) with arena trap. to get them i'd need a rod and for the rod I need a badge. I heard about some poison/water mons from a fisherman, maybe I can catch some.darn. The next route was next to no challenge with my birb and oryx-only the sporadic mankey stood a chance, needing to beat down my birb before analytic gust killed it. I came, I saw, I participated in the mandatory pokemon center tutorial, you know, basic stuff. Kevlar town was pretty much the basic sandgem/vermillion/second town. A few simple fights and I had arrived at the next town picked up a bird, dark blue with light blue on its belly, name of Birbie (nick: Birb, ability: ANALYTIC WHAT). with a leech seed at level 7, once I stopped being underleveled I was able to stall several trainers out just fine. The intro cutscene and music cuts are kinda sloppy but whatever. the game didn't let me forget it until after the first gym, where it forgot and my rival was still salty from "losing" the first fight. I got a grass/steel type starter (name: orynx, nickname: Oryx, ability: battle armor) and started with a type advantage, but I got para-haxed by my rival's static (what) and lost the fight. In the lab, there was a simple "personality test" to see which one you got. The professor gives you a choice of 3 appearances, I took the boy and named him "Mort". it seems.really, really easy, compared to the reborn line, almost as easy as vanilla. So I picked up PU last night and played it a bit.
