Part 1: Exposition
- Location
- Your Native Universe
Oh dear what have I gotten myself into here? Long story short, Pokemon Insurgence is a game made by reddit user thesuzerain with RPG Maker XP. This person was also responsible for making Pokemon Zeta and Omnicron, games which were made with RPG Maker XP as well. From what I played of this, it's actually really good.
I would explain more, but you'll see for yourself.
Praise Arceus, there are multiple save files in this game! If I remember correctly, you can have a maximum of three different files.
The options at the start are the same in which you'd find in a lot of Pokemon games, but these ones down from Stat Change Overlay are new additions.

- Stat Change Overlay: You're able to see the modifiers of how much a Pokemon's stats have been increased or decreased.
- Difficulty: I believe that at Hard Mode, depending on how many Gym Leaders you have beaten, you'll reach a level cap and only start receiving 1 XP per Pokemon until you tough it out and advance. Not familiar with Easy Mode, but I assume that it increases the XP you get (don't quote me on this).
- Turbo Speed: At the press of a button, everything will be faster. Compare it to the speed up feature for when people play ROMs.
- Purity Mode: Many new Pokemon designs appear in this, including new Megas and [HAS NOT BEEN MENTIONED YET] Pokemon. Purity Mode replaces the new designs of already existing Pokemon with old traditional ones. They're mentioned to still being in the game, but you have to search for them...not that I know what that exactly entails.
- Constant Daytime: It's pretty much exactly what says. Turning this on means that there will never be a nighttime.
As we enter the game, we are asked which story that we want to start with. The lighter story is described as one that has no character deaths and lightens some plot points. The story generally remains the same, but just less dark in general. However, this can be changed later in the game. Whether this is an option that is unlocked or a diverging story part is unknown to me. I chose the darker story, because the plot calls for me.
Onwards, to ADVENTURE!
Did I say adventure? I meant exposition.
This person, who is currently unnamed at the moment, goes on to describe someone known as "The Augur". Throughout the Torren Region, instead of crime syndicates such as Team Rocket/Aqua/Magma/Plasma/Tacky Orange Shades, the region has dangerous cults, each with their own agenda. The Augur was a sort of hero who went around disbanding said cults with his
He never returned.
And so, to be the hero that is currently missing, this man decides to proclaim himself as the second Augur. With this, the exposition ends and we go right into the game.
(Question, are the pictures too big or too small?)
