Ice Cream Sand Witch

Reuploaded Spork Updates: -Added Dracozolt, Arctozolt, Dracovish, and Arctovish -Changed Oricorio's abilities to Adaptability, Synchronize, and Serene Grace since I wasn't successful in scripting Dancer -the stats/demographics section of the Data Vault now includes character name origins (ex: the type puns in Gym Leader and Elite Four names). For characters that don't have one, it means their name doesn't have a specific connection to their role in the game or their teams Bug Fixes: -Sushi's Data Vault files are no longer invisible -Fixed typo in Quick Guard's move description where it said "If" may fail if used in succession instead of It I've said in the past that I didn't want to add the Gen 8 fossils because I feel bad for them being parts of different Pokemon stitched together and suffering. What made me change my mind about adding them is that I can just change the rules for Spork from canon, which isn't different to what I've already done in the past. The fossil Pokemon were never fossils in Spork because they never went extinct due to death not existing. Maybe the Gen 8 fossils in Spork aren't parts of different Pokemon, but a related group of Pokemon that have similar body part combinations. I received a PM a few years ago about an offer to include fanmade versions of the Gen 8 fossils where they all have their original bodies. It was something I strongly considered, but held off on making a decision just in case we did ever get the original Pokemon in canon. This message wasn't sent by the person offering, it was sent by someone who was asked by them to ask me about it, so I don't know who they are or whether they're still following the game, but to that person if you ever see this: Thank you for the offer! Even though I did end up including the Gen 8 fossils, I didn't forget about your offer and have still thought about it over the years. Someone reported a couple years ago that the Dancer ability wasn't working, and when checking, I learned that while I gave the ability to Oricorio, I never actually scripted it in. For some reason, I kept forgetting to get back to this. I wasn't successful in adding Dancer from a script I saw in a Pokecommunity thread (no error messages, the ability just wasn't activating) so I gave Oricorio different abilities instead. I got four suggestions for abilities when I asked elsewhere and picked three of them. For the Serenity Seaside house project, I decided to postpone it for now. For the last reupload post where I mentioned you could hang out and do other activities with characters, some of the ones I have in mind would take you to other places. I considered that if I had an idea that would take place in one of the new areas in upcoming map revamps, it would be better to hold off until then. I spent a lot of time brainstorming and coming up with events before deciding to save this until later, which is why this is a smaller reupload even though it's been two months since the last one. Sorry that there's been scheduling issues for two reuploads in a row because of this The positive news is that since I've already done a lot of planning, that's less that needs to be done in the future when it's time to add it!

Reuploaded giving Oricorio the abilities Adaptability, Synchronize, and Serene Grace since I wasn't able to script Dancer

I didn't reply at the time because Vince already helped you, but some more info that might be interesting is that being these Pokemon was going to be for when I had more ambitious plans for a postgame sidequest that I wasn't able to follow through on (you'll still meet these Pokemon in that sidequest, it's just that turning into them is just cosmetic now). I got ahead of myself with adding them, but enough people seem to have fun turning into them, so I've kept them.

We made a lot of progress with testing back then, but we haven't heard from Alice in the testing server since December 2022. I don't know what will happen with the game or when, but I hope she's doing okay

Made a Where Love Lies rap I used to be as Good as Gold, but I broke down from Corrosion My eyes were Damp from tears but that didn't stop the Explosion I went from hero to zero Wish I was still Xenless but I'm mentally in Zone Zero Was a model citizen like Tesla, now all I do is disappoint Lucario revoked all of my aura points It's clear, my Destiny is to break Bonds But maybe I shouldn't say that or she'll respond Who said lightning doesn't hit twice in the same place? The storm got me 9 times, it weathered down my game face This sensei should've majored in psych Every Gale Strike feels like a rail spike I'm used to Icefall Cave but this world is too cold Maybe I'm just like my father, too bold This is what it sounds like when Pidoves cry Buried my feelings in the grotto, that's where love lies

Reuploaded DDDL and Spork DDDL: -changed dialogue for the "I'm Poppy" NPC in Party District + City Spork: -Happiny and Blissey's shinies now match Chansey's -changed Emily's dialogue in Serenity Seaside; there's still a bit of journey reflection but now she talks about the house -added Planet Spork simulation battle for Yukito + Hideko (Kieran and Carmine's grandparents), which is a double battle against both of them like in SV -changed dialogue for the "I'm Poppy" NPC in Party City -clarified in the Data Vault that Isabelle's nickname theme is the older Pokedex entries, since the entries were changed last reupload -updated both the in-game credits file to add more for Palletite and Steffi, and the end game credits shown in the game to be more up to date in general Spork Bug Fixes: -Oval Stones can now be used to be evolve Happiny (the option to use them like an evolution stone in the bag was missing) -In the Shiny Scouting area, the Paldea starters are now with the other region starters instead of with the misc. event Pokemon -In the Shiny Scouting area, Oshawott was both with the other starters and the custom shinies; it's now just with the other custom shinies so the same Pokemon isn't taking up two event tiles Something interesting about the Chansey line's canon shinies is that while Chansey's is green, Happiny and Blissey's shinies look almost the exact same as their regular colors. Thanks to Steffi for assistance with the Happiny and Blissey shinies (especially with shading), and for bringing up the difference between Chansey and the others to begin with! The "I'm Poppy" NPC was changed because there's an official character named Poppy as of SV, to avoid any confusion as to whether this NPC was supposed to be the same Poppy or referencing her. I'm Poppy is a mid-late 2010s meme from a viral video of a singer named Poppy saying "I'm Poppy" for 10 minutes. I'm not sure how remembered it is, since even when the video was more recent, most of the playthroughs I saw were confused when they interacted with that NPC. Earlier in the year, I mentioned that I might come back to the Serenity Seaside house sometime later. I've been brainstorming on and off since then about it, and I've settled on what I want to do with it! That's what this reupload was originally going to be, but on top of wondering whether I was ready or still needed time to plan it out more thoroughly, some of the updates included in this reupload came to mind. There were also a few weeks where I wasn't working on Spork and was playing other games or doing other activities in general. I got worried about the time between reuploads, and felt like I wouldn't be able to do the Serenity Seaside house update in a timely manner with how long it had already been since the last reupload. As for what I plan to add: I'd like to make it a place where you can hang out with all the characters in the game. You could have shorter conversations about the house and just general small talk, with a longer conversation and/or some kind of activity you could do with them like watching TV, eating, playing some kind of game like two truths and a lie, etc. I'd like to make it different for every character. While I have some of them planned out already, I will need to think for others, and maybe iron out some details of the overall process. I'm not sure how long it'll take, but I've been enjoying thinking about it and I hope it ends up being fun!

Hi, I moved your thread from General Discussion to Reborn City. General Discussion is mainly for IRL topics. Canon shiny Swablu is yellow, but Pokemon Reborn has custom shinies with their own colors. Congratulations on the shiny!

After battling Mulder, go north of Marvelous Marsh to the Battle Frontier (the NPC and Pinsir that were in front of it before will be gone after battling Mulder). The final blocked path in Crystal Caverns doesn't open until postgame, it goes to the peak of Mt. Spoon.

You'd want to navigate through Crystal Caverns until you reach the part with a staircase going down, a sign, and Couragi the Mudkip. The cave exit you see at the end of that path will take you to Marvelous Marsh where you can proceed!

From Ocean Coast, go through the east gatehouse to the second part of the Sea of Knowledge.

Reuploaded DDDL and Spork DDDL: -added text to more objects in Olidroll Residential District apartments -the music that plays in Nosy News now also plays in Pokemon Centers, Pokemarts, Olidroll Sweets Shop, Olidroll Department Store, and Ability Capsule Corp Spork Updates: -completely revamped the Pokedex entries -for Cherry's team, Porygon-Z has been changed to Cherrim (nickname CheriBerry) -Overcast Cherrim now has the same stats as Sunny Cherrim, so they now both have the Sunny PLA stats and the forms are a cosmetic difference -updated battle backgrounds for Mt. Comet, Crystal Caverns, and Melodic Mines -the second dream sequence at the Dark Dungeon now has a battle with "Orthworm Jim" -All Vivillon patterns are now in the game, and you can change a Vivillon's pattern at Aliora Meadow -the music that plays in Nosy News now also plays in Pokemon Centers, Pokemarts, Olidroll Sweets Shop, Olidroll Department Store, Ability Capsule Corp, and Battle Mall -if you have the Espeon Sign, you can now see the switch in the trash at Twilight Tavern -the Unown at Complex Apartments is now regular instead of shiny, since there was no way to find a non-shiny Unown in Spork before -the Pokedex entry puzzle with Uxie's quest has been removed to account for the Pokedex changes; now you just need to answer all the Sea of Knowledge questions -the evomethodsandotherchanges notepad file now lists all of Spork's custom shinies SPORK FIXES: -the evomethodsandotherchanges notepad file is now up to date The Pokedex revamp is something I've had in mind for almost the whole year. Entries are now a pun of the Pokemon in question, as shown in one of the screenshots at the top of the post. I did like the randomness of the old entries where they were what the Pokemon made me think of, and it was always funny seeing peoples' reactions to them in videos. I'm going to miss the old entries, but there were two reasons I wanted to change them. The first is so each one can be unique, whereas before, every Pokemon in an evolution line had the same entry. The second was that some of them mentioned IRL places, people, series etc. that aren't in Pokemon. I didn't think much about that when the entries weren't considered canon, but after canonizing them by having the player's Pokedex being altered by Isabelle, it started to feel more jarring to me over time. I hope the new format is still enjoyable! Last reupload, I mentioned how there were a few other updates I thought of but didn't add yet at the time because I ran out of energy. Those were the battle backgrounds and Vivillon forms that are now in! The irony that the character named Cherry didn't have a Cherrim was never lost on me. The only reason she didn't have one before is because she uses red Pokemon, but looking at Cherrim's Overcast form closer, maybe the stem and lower body below the purple bud could be dark red? I'm not sure why, but some shades of red look pink to me, and some shades of pink look red to me, and I only know they're the other one because other people or sources say they are. But whether Cherrim has any red or not, I think it makes sense to have an exception here. While you might see Aretha's Cherrim in Sunny form since her team utilizes weather, Cherry's will stay in Overcast unless you bring sun to the battle yourself. Since Cherry's hair hides her eyes, I thought it would be neat for her Cherrim's form to match that!

Reuploaded: -For Cherry's team, Porygon-Z has been changed to Cherrim (nickname CheriBerry) -Overcast Cherrim now has the same stats as Sunny Cherrim, so they now both have the Sunny PLA stats and the forms are a cosmetic difference

I was always a good kid, never stayed up late or skipped Dinnietime Never talked back to anyone, didn't even mime But how long could I keep pretending I was fine? My privileged Linneage gave me a life that wasn't mine I was at the brink 'till I got help from the "weakest Linque" The "butler of the joke" helped me escape in a blink My mom thinks he planted lies in my brain But he's the only one who saw how I was hiding my pain I was told this region thinks the answer is violence So I turned my pen into a Blade, I won't suffer in silence Now I'm making knights go night-night Knocking archers off their towers, hope they don't have height fright Then I'm bashin' assassins 'till they're dashin' or retreating in an orderly fashion And mage spells won't divide my friends, we don't ration our passion Made it to Hopintere, I didn't drop or scare Got my first Badge, and I'm not stopping there Bards tell nine tales about me Can't break my ice like Aurora Veil surrounds me To any parent or Guardian who wants to keep me in their grip: I don't need your permission to give you the slip I will never be confined, Nyah-t now or ever I'll earn the Diadem through my own endeavor

I did a playthrough of Spork up to where the map revamps currently go to and found small things along the way I thought to add along with a lot of issues to fix, and did full playthroughs of DDDL and Return to Dreamland as well. I actually thought of a few more updates than what's in the reupload, but towards the end I could feel myself running out of batteries from how much I did in such a short time, so those will be for the future. Thanks a lot to Palletite and Steffi for the Sushi overworld sprite! Previously, Sushi's overworld sprite was the red-eyed version of the Ghost Girl from Rejuvenation that appeared in Narcissa's Gym to take you back to the entrance. I had come up with a unique design for her on a character creator site back in 2020, and felt like now would be a good time for Sushi! I really like how Palletite incorporated parts of that design into the sprite and how it turned out! The reason I removed all references to the player and Emily's parents and the career choice for them is that I noticed I don't seem nearly as enthusiastic about it as the region choice. With the region choices, I regularly think of more scenes to add extra dialogue to if the player is from certain regions, whereas I only did that once with the parents' career choice, and rarely ever think about it as a detail. I've had different ideas throughout all of Spork's development involving the player's parents (at one point, it was planned to see them in the postgame), none of which I've stuck with or felt fully confident in. As for the scenes that the parents' career choice did add dialogue to, that extra dialogue is still there for existing save files that made the choice in previous reuploads. I don't want to discount the possibility of coming up with something else for the players' parents in the future, but for now that topic is a blank slate. It's only been exactly 2 weeks since the last reupload, but with playing through most of the game and all the updates and fixes, it feels like it's been longer! I'm happy with how much I was able to find during my playthrough and looking forward to the future! I hope all of you are too!
