Renegade Following Platinum is Still Bugged and It Bothers Me More than it Should
u/chensquared-art’s amazing merger of Following Platinum and Renegade Platinum remains the definitive way to experience the Sinnoh region for me and many others, but last time I played it I encountered a bug thats irked me ever since. Unfortunately the creator doesn’t seem to be active anymore and the patch has been as it is for years now. I figured I’d make this post to warn anyone playing and put the word out if anyone with the knowhow feels like possibly fixing this.
The final update the game received fixed the freeze that occurred when wiping to Aaron outside hearthome, I guess something about the follower implementation couldn’t account for losing battles not in vanilla without some manual help. The problem is they forgot one: losing to Darach in the pal park causes the same freeze. Last time this happened to me it killed my whole run, and even though it’s a tiny issue with an easy fix if you know about it (save before hand, or just don’t have a skill issue like me and lose in the first place), it feels like the sole hair in a perfect soup. For now anyone playing Renegade Following should save beforehand, though I take the fact that it’s flown under the radar to mean I’m one of the only people who actually loses here lmao.
