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: The music for Delicia and Felicia's house is now GlitchxCity's Levincia remix

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

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
