Pokémon Insurgence is a 2017 role-playing game developed by thesuzerain and later 1ofthe4rocketbros for PC. It is a fan game based on the Pokémon franchise, developed during its sixth generation. Set in a new region, Torren, the game features an original story, with a darker take on the Pokémon universe than in official games, new variants of Pokémon known as Delta Pokémon, new Mega Evolutions, difficulty settings, and many other changes and new features. Although the full version of the game was released in 2017, development continued under a new lead, and further updates are planned for the future.
Pokémon Insurgence was played by both John and Rick on The D-Pad in a Nuzlocke challenge in 2015, as the third official installment of Pokémon Rivals, Pokémon Rivals: Insurgence. As the winner of the previous Padlocke, Pokémon Rivals: Omega Ruby vs. Alpha Sapphire, John began with his LP, which consisted of 14 episodes, released on weekdays from June 23 to July 9, 2015.
After losing his entire team, John forfeited the Padlocke before reaching the first Gym, leaving Rick as the winner by default. Rick's LP, now effectively a solo Nuzlocke of the entire game, consisted of 138 episodes, released on weekdays from July 14, 2015 to January 20, 2016. The LP covers about two-thirds of the story, all that was available in the current version at the time, and is currently on indefinite hiatus.

Trivia
- Pokémon Rivals: Insurgence is the only installment of Pokémon Rivals to cover an unofficial game, and the only one in which both Rick and John played the exact same game rather than two different versions.
- It is also the only Padlocke in which one player has fully forfeited their game, as Rick returned to finish Pokémon X some time after forfeiting the Padlocke.
- Rick's Pokémon Insurgence LP is currently intended to return to complete the game after the current Pokémon LPs on the channel are complete.
