Ice Cream Sand Witch

I forgot to mention this in the notepad file, but after getting all four Universe Fragments you need to speak to the scientist in the Pokemon Research Institute and he'll merge them.

Unfortunately, RPG Maker doesn't run in the background. It's frustrating when adding new data that needs to be compiled.

I was at a building that looked like a school. I was meeting someone here who in the reality of this dream was a friend of a friend who I'd talked to a few times on the Internet. She was guiding me throughout the building and eventually we were in a cafeteria. She asked me a question. I don't remember the question but my response was "I'd always protect my friends!...I think." She grabbed my cheeks and shook my face up and down, saying that I needed to have more faith in myself, so I did. Then a chef said donuts were here, so I got excited. A person at the nearest table said I needed to calm down. ------------------- Someone was kidnapped and I was on a quest to save them! My quest took me to a white building with black circles on the ceiling where toilet plungers formed, small at first but growing to the size of regular plungers before falling to the ground and vanishing (this was an infinite loop, not a single event). When I got to the end I had a conversation with a fortune teller, who was a middle aged Italian lady with an afro. (Human) skeletons emerged from the ground. I got on one's back and rode it to a mall where the kidnapped person was taken.

The final reupload won't be for some time. Originally I estimated somewhere between mid-August or September, but a lot's happened since then. For one, I underestimated how much time it would take for what I already had planned before making the first announcement about the final reupload. When I made the first announcement, what I had planned was this: -fixing any reported issues that I was capable of fixing -expansion of Ocean Coast with more sections and side content -the player being able to join an idol group with the fruit-themed characters -updating the BCC Building for the postgame (I never mentioned this before, but it's something I've had in mind for a while. I just thought it was weird nothing happens with the BCC after Team Portal abandons the building. the grunt/agent that stays says she wants to make a new, genuine BCC that really does want to help keep the beach clean, but nothing ever came out of that) and since then, new plans and developments have come up: -the idol event in the postgame is pretty much its own story arc now (thanks again to Palletite for the player characters' idol costume sprites!) -Enigma has offered to revamp Spork's maps (and thanks again to Enigma for offering to improve the maps!) -every character's Pokemon are going to have nicknames, and there will be some team changes (currently working on this) -a few other small events and updates Even if I was confident in the August-September estimation at first, in hindsight I don't think I should've given an estimated timeframe. This is going to be the final reupload, so I'd like it to be as polished as possible, and giving anyone expectations about when it might be finished might cause me to sacrifice quality for speed in order to reach a self-imposed deadline. I don't want anyone else to feel pressured either. There's also been days where I didn't physically work on the game and just did brainstorming. I think I had more to type and forgot some of what I was going to say. But after typing all this, it occurred to me that I can just add a Pixie Plate to your bag if you send me your save file.

In Spork, Eevee evolves into Leafeon with a Leaf Stone and Glaceon with an Ice Stone.

The best place for something like this would be to make a thread in the Developing Games section.

September 12 is Kotori Minami's birthday!

Which game are you talking about? If it's about Reborn, it belongs in the Reborn City section. If it's about Rejuvenation, it belongs in the Pokemon Rejuvenation subforum. If it's about Spork, it belongs in the Pokemon Spork club. If it's about a different game, it belongs in that game's thread in Fan Game Expose (or if a thread for it doesn't already exist, you could make one). General Discussion is the section for IRL topics like food, school, etc. Normally the course of action would be to move your thread to the appropriate section, but since you didn't specify the game, I'm not sure where to move it to. What Swampellow said is correct though. Reborn and most of the other fangames with threads here aren't ROM hacks. They're made with RPG Maker and are played on PC. After you download, you extract the folder, and in the extracted folder is a program called "Game". Double clicking that launches the game.

I forgot to mention this in the notepad file, but after getting all four of the Universe Fragments, you need to speak to the scientist in the Pokemon Research Institute and he'll merge them.

The post-Champion story is everything after the Champion up to that point, yes. For the Sand Castle:

Last night I had a dream I lived somewhere that was like NYC. I had a sword under my pillow, and I'd apparently won a lot of swordfighting tournaments. I was enrolled in some kind of program where they had a daily task for participants to do, and I'd just started. There was an official location for participants to go when they did this, but you could also do it from home, which was what I was doing. The first task was to cook a hot dog in a microwave. For some reason, before I put the hot dog in the microwave I cut about a third of it off and separated it from the rest of the hot dog. Later that night, there was a news program on and it was one of the reporters' birthday. The oldest looking reporter called him over, and they got into an argument about putting a coffee machine at their workplace. The younger reporter thought it was unnecessary, and the older reporter yelled at him sarcastically. "YEAH, WHO IN THE WORLD LIKES COFFEE?" He kept repeating this, yelling louder and louder each time until the whole city could hear him. This disturbed some nearby pirates, who decided to bomb the city. Apparently this was the second time these pirates had bombed the city because people were being loud, and a warning on the news advised people to stay as close to the moon as possible to avoid getting caught in the blast.

Aliora Gardens is the fourth gym, and this tree I'm facing is the location:

You don't have to worry about transferring it anywhere, you'll still have the same save file after downloading episode 7.

That was the ending point of episode 4.5. If you're still playing 4.5, then you'd need to download episode 7. A few other people have mentioned this and all of them were still on 4.5 too.

PIIIIX~ ^.^ These Sylveon sprites were made for me by Ame a while ago, as a prize for winning Midsummer Queen at the Summer Social. At first I just planned to use them in Reborn, since that was their original purpose, but I thought they fit too well not to use in Spork. The first one is neopolitan ice cream, and the second one is based off of Ceolis's sprite. The neopolitan one is going to be Spork's shiny Sylveon. The Ceolis one is programmed in as a different species, since it's not possible to have two different shinies for one Pokemon that doesn't have multiple forms (this is also why Delicia's Ampharos is mega from the beginning). Some things I'm currently considering/brainstorming for: -Ceolis's entire team has already been changed, and I might change a few Pokemon on other characters' teams too. My original plan with Ceolis's team, before Gen 7 had been announced, was for him to have one Pokemon from each gen, and Gen 7 meant I couldn't do that anymore. Some of the Pokemon on his current (public release) team had still been planned from the beginning, but looking back at it now, I feel like the team doesn't really fit him. I also noticed an inconsistency between Spork and Delicia's Delicious Dreamland: in Delicia's Delicious Dreamland, the Guardian has a Pheromosa during the ship scene, but in Spork they don't have one. I thought I gave the Guardian both Buzzwole and Pheromosa, but it seems like I only gave them Buzzwole. -giving more nicknames to Pokemon used by major characters. Nicknaming isn't really a detail I gave much thought to before most of the time, but almost everyone names their pets, so I think nicknames for Pokemon would be more common than they're used in Spork and most other games. My goal is to nickname every character's Pokemon, which means Ceolis's Sylveon in the screenshot above will be nicknamed too. I'm just not sure of what Ceolis's nickname theme for his Pokemon will be yet. On both of those notes, Agne's team + nicknames are a mix of planets and other space-related themes, but I'm thinking of making all of her team have a planetary theme, which means I'd switch the two Pokemon that currently don't. Once everyone's nicknamed, I'll make another post with all the nicknames + team changes for people who are interested in knowing! -extends ribbon and Ribombee- (extended Ribombee also made by Ame)

Whether it's shiny is determined when you obtain it. The battle with Yveltal is set up as a trainer battle against it, and trainer Pokemon are never shiny unless you specifically set them to be shiny in the trainer data. Additionally, by ingame logic the Yveltal you obtain is the same one you battled, but by scripting logic they're two different Yveltal, since values like nature, IVs, etc. are randomized both in the battle and when obtained, as I didn't manually set anything.

There's a bug reporting thread here, but since it's also an issue with your save file, the save file troubleshooting thread might also have been relevant. This sounds it could possibly be a result of losing the battle; there've been issues before where losing a battle causes events to continue as if you'd won. It took me a while to fix those and I'm not sure if I remember how. But I'll see what I can do with your save file after dinner. EDIT: I've got past that battle for you; here's your save file back.

The part of the desert beyond the sandstorm isn't going to be visited. Ame has been asked about it a few times and has stated that it's the northern border of the region and the "especially fierce sandstorm" that turns the player back is to prevent you from going to the edge of the map.

CEOLIS REVAMP Recently, Enigma Shot U offered to remake some of Spork's maps, and has already completed the northern section of Virima. Here are some screenshots: Some of the changes include: -the hotel's color scheme is now green and blue. Where the vending machines were before has been expanded into a cafeteria. This area replaces the part of the first floor that had the tables and chairs, and the NPCs that were there are now in the cafeteria. The hotel looks a lot more organized now, especially the first floor. -Areas in Virima are no longer extremely close together. The shape/structure of the city has changed, while still keeping some of the themes from before: the houses having different colored roofs, and trees being close to the buildings. The exterior of some buildings has changed too, and Jim's house is like a mansion now. -if you've read the info in the Data Vault, you might remember that originally Jim's gym was going to have different rooms where you'd have to battle each trainer to get to Jim. This is now what happens. It's set up similar to the Team Xen lab in Caratos Mountain in Rejuv: there are four rooms, and you have to battle a trainer in each room to get the key from them and unlock the master bedroom where Jim is. -NPC houses don't look exactly the same anymore. The furniture and appliances might vary depending on the NPCs. For example, the couple that mentions recently having moved to Virima has boxes in their house. I'd like to thank Enigma for offering to do this. I'm impressed at how much Virima has improved, and look forward to seeing and giving feedback on future map revamps too!

My sister and I prefer to pretend that Mega Charizard X doesn't exist.

I checked the moves.txt and the issue was that Eerie Impulse had the wrong function code. This has now been fixed for the next/final reupload. (there's a bug reporting thread for reporting bugs btw) You can go back and get the marble there when you have Surf.

Pheromosa is now shy. Game.rxdata

Below the text box when typing a post is a paperclip icon and next to that "Click to choose files". That's how you upload a file to your post. The Shiny Charm is obtained by defeating the leader of the Shiny Pokemon Fanclub in Tullborn City (where the 10th gym is).
