I've been reading the Reborn LP. Truly, it's a must-see experience, because it does everything wrong it can do and then some, truly something to be aware of if you ever wanted to make your own Pokemon fangame. You know that game is hilariously edgy when another game called "Edge Rising" is actually more reasonable than that trainwreck. What's more, the writing is derived from a server RP thing where all players were apparently actual psychos, had RL problems such as car accidents and custody legal battles and, if that wasn't enough, one of their members commited suicide which was reproduced extremely poorly in the game (the daughter of said player also participated in the RP but left for "some reason" (probably related to the fact they made a mockery of his dad's suicide), much to the others' confusion), and then another player died of a fatal illness (which ingame is translated into having said character being brutally cut in half after having her Pokemon thrown into a laval pool because EDGE!). Also, lots of female characters die over and over (even though the writer is a woman).
Of course, the main writer has a patreon account so someone wanted this shit to be a thing.
