Ice Cream Sand Witch

Reuploaded DDDL and Spork DDDL: -changed Crolea's Inkay to Blipbug (nickname Saucer) Spork: -changed two Pokemon on Crolea's team: Inkay/Malamar and Onix/(Mega) Steelix are now Minior (nickname Meteor) and Dottler/(Mega) Orbeetle (nickname Saucer) -changed Ivan's Slowking to Palafin (nickname Paladin) -changed the Poke Ball starter item gift with Nincada to a Dusk Stone, since that's how it evolves into Shedinja as of last year after it was reported that the canon evo method wasn't working -Steelixite is now located at Olidroll Underground -Bolaii Bar is now a soda parlor where you can buy Soda Pop -after finishing the Cleanup Collaboration ranger quest, the NPC behind the counter at the Soda Parlor will be in front of the building and give you a Soda Pop as thanks -following last reupload, I've finished expanding the choice menus for when you have more than four answer options Specifically, the following menus will now show all answer options at once: move tutors, Sea Star Society vendors at the Shopping and Food sections, choosing your home region at the Tourist Info Center, helping Portal Agent Terrence decide what to order at the Battle Factory restaurant, prize vendors at the Battle Frontier, and the character simulations at Planet Spork. I was going to do the Battle Factory rental lists too, but there are so many Pokemon that they don't all fit in one text command, even with extendtext. I'd been thinking about Crolea's team changes for a while. Earlier this year, I started questioning the connection between Steelix and space. Apparently they can burrow close to the planet's core, which I'm guessing was my thought process there because its nickname was Core, but that sounds more closely related to geology than space. Orbeetle seemed like a great candidate for a space-related mega, since it looks like a UFO! As for Minior, I thought Crolea would really like them, the Violet Core Minior goes well with Crolea's dress, and Crolea gets a Comet Shard birthday present. Malamar fit the team theme perfectly fine and it was a tough decision to switch it out, but Isabelle and Peach still have one! Plus its nickname was Alien, and there's still Celesteela on Crolea's team! Ivan's was a sudden realization that Palafin would work well with his team theme, and since having a King and an Emperor might be repetitive, I switched out Slowking since I think Empoleon's more serious nature fits Ivan better. 2024 felt like a weird year in terms of reupload times. I was going to say that sometimes there were larger gaps than usual between reuploads, but looking back at timestamps from older posts, it doesn't seem like it's all that different to past years. It still feels different to me for some reason though. Maybe I feel like I fumbled a bit towards the end of the year with the Serenity Seaside house stuff, which led to a few reuploads having a lot less updates than originally planned. And the past couple weeks have basically been one reupload split into three, since I needed to reupload early twice due to major bugs. I've still enjoyed working on Spork though, and I'm excited to continue making updates! Happy Holidays!

Reuploaded: -changed two Pokemon on Crolea's team: Malamar is now Minior (nickname Meteor) and Mega Steelix is now Mega Orbeetle (nickname Saucer) -changed Ivan's Slowking to Palafin (nickname Paladin)

Valarie being a Lapras is a gag/comedy thing. For the two NPCs you mentioned, both are regular NPC types. The red-haired one is a Sashila Village resident, and the pink-haired one is a Kristiline Town resident. Huey is at this place too though. IIRC when you're coming in Huey and Rune are running out.

Reuploading early again to fix a game-breaking bug I discovered this evening Reuploaded DDDL and Spork DDDL: -the music for Party District/City is now GlitchxCity's Levincia remix -changed the "It's too early to go to Victory Road!" message to "There's no reason to go to Victory Road!" if you approach it since the former implies you will go there at some point while Delicia never does Spork Updates: -added sidequestguide notepad file -started expanding the choice menus when you have more than 4 choices (the Sea Star Society vendors and the move tutor in the Sea Star Society's Pokemon Center are the ones I've done so far) -changed Hoenn quiz question about where Glacia can sometimes be found to a question about the two kinds of bikes in Hoenn -the music for Party City is now GlitchxCity's Levincia remix Spork Fixes: -changing Vivillon to the Icy Snow pattern no longer causes the game to crash when you enter a Pokemon Center -the obtainablepokemon notepad file now mentions the Salandit you get from the optional Kelani battle -Farigiraf's obtainability method is no longer blank in the obtainablepokemon notepad file -In the first Dark Dungeon dream sequence, the Sableye has been changed to Gengar to match it being changed on Gina's team -the snack vendor at the Sea Star Society was missing Lumiose Galettes and Shalour Sables; you can now get them there A sidequest guide notepad file has been planned for years, and I'm surprised it's taken me this long to make one. It covers sidequests that aren't already covered in other notepad files. Hopefully I got all of them! The reason I changed that question on the Hoenn quiz is that I felt like it was too obscure. One or two NPCs in ORAS mention that Glacia goes to the food court sometimes, but you never actually see her there yourself. In fact, IIRC she's the only League member you can't see outside of battle in ORAS's postgame. To explain more about the choice menus, today I was looking at Reborn's type quiz event and learned how to make it so that more than four choices can appear on screen at once. I haven't gotten everything yet because I had to reupload early due to discovering the Vivillon crash, but here's a visual comparison: The first screenshot is how most menus in Spork are currently with RPG Maker's default four limit, and the second is how they look with all options showing at once. Changing that move tutor in the second screenshot is how I discovered the Vivillon crash. I don't know why, but when you change a Pokemon's form through an overworld event, changing the form also changes a variable in the game that matches that form's number. Icy Snow Vivillon is listed as its 6th form in Spork, and variable 6 relates to your Pokemon being placed on healing machines in Pokemon Centers. So when I entered the Pokemon Center to test this move tutor's new menu, it crashed the game because Variable 006 was "Vivillon" for me instead of a number, from when I tested changing Vivillon's form a few months ago. I did have a command to set variable 6 back to 0, but it was placed under the wrong form before. All the variables related to Vivillon will now go back to 0 after changing forms!

Reuploaded Spork Updates: -new custom shiny Leafeon -new custom shiny Sewaddle line -Gina's Sableye has been changed to Haunter (Gym battle)/Mega Gengar (postgame rematch) -Kayla's Leafeon is now shiny Fixes: -the Temple of Time no longer has a battle replay for the battle with Drew at Celium Park that was part of an event that was removed last year, so Dialga should now be obtainable -the legendarysidequests notepad file's information on Dialga is now up to date -interacting with Kelani's battle replay at the Temple of Time no longer gives an option for the Sea Star tournament battle if you haven't gotten to that battle yet This is an early reupload to fix an issue where Dialga was unobtainable due to a removed battle still having been a requirement to obtain it. Shiny Leafeon is autumn-themed, and the shiny Sewaddle line resemble cherry blossoms! An autumn-themed shiny Sewaddle line was originally planned for last reupload, but then I saw that Reborn already did that, so the idea changed to cherry blossoms. I was still able to do an autumn shiny with Leafeon though! Steffi posted the similarity between regular and shiny canon Leafeon and suggested autumn for it! Kayla's Leafeon was made shiny because it matches the colors of her hair and outfit and because she's from Ecruteak City which has autumn-colored trees. Gina originally had Haunter/Gengar, but I swapped it out a few years ago because I thought it had the least connection to her tarot card nickname theme (its name was/is Tower, because they live in the Pokemon Tower in Kanto), but thinking on it now, they're a perfect fit for her as a character. Gina licks peoples' faces, something the Gastly line is also known to do. Gina's Badge is called the Mischief Badge, and the Gastly line are like the archetypal mischief-causing kind of ghosts. I also don't know why I thought the nickname connection was a stretch, but I think if it's a choice between what fits the character and what fits the nickname theme, I should prioritize what fits the character anyway, and the nickname theme can be adjusted if need be. Speaking of autumn, that's the current season, so happy autumn!

Fixed this in the new reupload, hopefully Dialga should be obtainable now!

Reuploaded: Updates: -Gina's Mega Sableye has been changed to Mega Gengar -Kayla's Leafeon is now shiny (using Spork's new custom shiny Leafeon) Fixes: -Kayla's full Pokemon team still had Volcarona; has now been changed to Iron Valiant like in Spork

A secret area would be cool! It could be fun coming up with a shiny for it too. Tying it into being a Pokedex reward, one option could be a custom shiny Rotom, since there's the Rotom Pokedex in Alola. A player costume might be a big task, since Spork's main spriter isn't able to sprite as much anymore, and a player character outfit would also have surfing, fishing, surfing while fishing, and biking overworld sprites to take into account. I do think both of your ideas fit well with being both significant and optional enough though!

I'm glad you're enjoying the game! About that event in Celium Park, it was removed from the game last year. Since I decided to have Munchlax obtainable through honey tree encounters, having Snorlax as a sidequest Pokemon when you could now get it by catching and evolving a wild Munchlax was redundant. I must have forgotten to remove that battle with Drew at the Temple of Time, sorry about that I'm working on a couple things in Spork right now but I should be able to reupload soon-ish with this fixed, likely within a few days. For Pokedex completion, I agree that there should be a reward, and it's something I've been thinking about since I added the Blipbug quest in the Gen 8 reupload 4 years ago. I'm just not sure on what the reward could be. I feel like the reward should be optional enough that people don't feel like they're missing out if they're not interested in completing the Pokedex, but also should be worth the time and effort it takes to get it. Do you have any recommendations on what it could be?

Xenogene rap Pull up with the Shinx and everyone blinks Every time I see her I think Enya shrinks I'm here in Ivere to Wynn the League Made it to Celandine with no sign of fatigue But I won't rest on my Laurels I'm an explorer and my compass is my morals Sometimes my visions leave me in a daze But through them I see errors in Sierra's ways Splicer, no Splicing! I'll split your chimeras, take the cake from the icing Eradicate your team from the staff to the riffraff Showing you the light, Saber can cut a legend in half That's leg end, like Lucile after a Collision Course Spit sicker than Adelinde, rapping 'till my voice is hoarse Discontinued, but not tossed in the garbage dump Celebrated the experience and did a red carpet jump It's time to call it curtains, it's the end of the scene But this much is for certain, we made it to the big screen

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
