The one I'd call gloomiest is the one you're presumably calling "Shadowdart rage".

There are a few different endings where Razor apologizes to Shadowdart, with somewhat different results and leadup. I suspect you're missing one of them, although your descriptions are vague so it's hard to tell.

So there are 7 different endings? Interesting… So far, I've got the true apology, the not-accepted apology, Shadowdart rage, Nightmare-shadowdart collusion, and Nightmare escape. I suspect that the remaining endings were on the Stormblade path. Was any of the ones I mentioned the most gloomy ending? Which one?

A red arrow from A to B means that doing A is a prerequisite for doing B; a dotted (gray) arrow from A to B means that having done A affects some lines of dialogue in B. (This unfortunately doesn't convey all the information; for instance, if two red arrows are pointing towards the same node, the graph doesn't show whether you need to have done both of those things or just either.)

The convergence at the end is just the "THE END" screen!

Looking at your tumblr https://antialiasis.tumblr.com/image/614432850559860736
there seems to be this chart. What do the grey lines mean and what do the red lines mean? WHy does everything converge at one point?

Not exactly. There is one that's probably definitively the gloomiest, but not because it's a designated "bad ending" as such. The endings aren't organized on any good/bad scale. They're just different.

Interesting. Is there supposed to be a bad ending?

There is not a golden ending.

In Sutoraiku High, is there meant to be a ¨golden ending¨? Most of the endings I got were somewhat bittersweet, with the happiest ones either being the one where the leader is overthrown (but shadowdart leaves) or the one where Razor reconciles to ShadowDart and ShadowDart accepts the apology.

Do you have spoilers enabled?

(Also, did you go multiple rounds? Because of how the picker works, if a few new Pokémon are added, you may not actually see them until they've been reshuffled in the next round.)

@15: The page goes into that a bit - try to think through what you write from the perspective of someone who doesn't understand the mechanics you're describing, and if you're talking about your opinion, make a case for what you believe, rather than simply stating what you think.

Hi I love your website, but the Crown Tundra DLC Pokemon aren't showing up for me on the Favorite Pokemon Picker. Can you please help?

I currently see my rant/guide possibly falling into two pitfalls: that of the ¨my opinions, let me show them¨ and that of the ¨confusing game mechanics.¨
Do you have any advice on how to improve from these pitfalls?

If you write informally, it comes off as more irreverent, personal and fun. If you write more formally, it generally comes off as more trustworthy and like you know what you're talking about.

What do you mean by the style and air of it? What is the difference between the reader experience if it is written in a formal or an informal manner?

It's okay to write however you like! Formal vs. informal just changes the overall style and air of it. There's nothing wrong with writing informally if that's what you're going for.
