Ice Cream Sand Witch

I'm really happy to know Spork cheered you up during exams! Reuploaded replacing Delicia's Swirlix with a shiny Mareep. Solviera gave me another amazing early birthday present! I decided to give Delicia this one because she was the only rival not to get a Mega Evolution, since none of the Pokemon she used could mega evolve, and this candy Ampharos fits perfectly on her food-themed team. I also reuploaded Delicia's Delicious Dreamland changing Swirlix to shiny Mareep (additionally, Delicia can no longer walk through NPCs' food in the Friend Ship).

East of Aliora City is the Legend Dairy, which is where the Day Care is.

I just checked the script editor in Essentials and it says this: I don't know which of those numbers this would translate to, though. ! Oh, while I'm here, I'd like to thank Solviera for this early birthday present! I decided to give it to DJ Ultra Beats, so you can look forward to seeing it in the next/final episode!

Thanks, I'm glad you're enjoying the game! The shiny rate is the same as it is in the official games I think. I haven't edited it. The Shiny Charm is available in Tullborn (the city where the 10th gym is), though, so that might help with searching for one.

In the US have been to New Orleans, Boston, Baltimore, Georgia, Tennessee, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, Virginia, West Virginia, Vermont, and Connecticut. I live in Florida and have been a lot of places here too. Outside of the US have been to Niagara Falls in Canada, England, Ireland, and Scotland Got a pretzel-twisting certificate after making a pretzel during a tour of a pretzel factory Could have possibly met Neil deGrasse Tyson if I knew he was going to be nearby sooner Forgot how to lock and unlock doors, forgot that gravity exists, forgot that cats and dogs have paws instead of hands because I forgot that hands and paws were two different things Have been to a specific restaurant in Virginia twice with the visits being several years apart, and had the same waiter both times Fell asleep while I was writing something and ended up writing lyrics to songs in my sleep possibly others that aren't coming to mind right now.

Due to some scary stuff that happened yesterday, I'm back early. I'm safe now and am very happy to be back home Here are some drawings I meant to post some time ago. A little after Strawberry's sprite was finished, a conversation with Punkeev/Steffi encouraged me to draw the fruit-based characters. At first I was going to color them, but I didn't have all the colors. I'm not very good at drawing but maybe they'll make some people smile! ^_^

I understand. I'm sorry that all that happened to you. Thank you for all the work you've done for Spork. I wish you the best for your own project Sohwon, and in life as a whole as well.

Hi! I have a lot of things to talk about today. First I'd like to thank the following people for participating in the video appreciation project for Palletite: Ame, DemICE, Monika/Azure, Lykos, Solviera, Amine/MC Kapper, Filthy, Seki108, J-Awesome One, FairFamily, Candy, TeamPlayerSwampert, Maria, Drago, Enigma Shot U, Groniack, Riku/Luciano, NatJones, and kingjrcasanova (and anyone else if I forgot anyone; I'm sorry if I did ^^'). And of course Punkeev/Steffi for coming up with the idea and making the video! Palletite appreciated all of your messages very much. Second: I forgot to mention, but the day before yesterday I reuploaded Delicia's Delicious Dreamland with the new sprites for characters that appear in there, and I also reuploaded Spork with the updated sprites for characters in the public release today too. As for future content, only one sprite is remaining now: Punkeev/Steffi wanted to make some adjustments to Triston. Third: starting tomorrow around noon (EST), I'm going to be away for around a week, and I'll only have mobile internet access and not for long periods of time or very often during the day. I don't really want to go into many details (and I don't honestly know all the details myself), but this wasn't my decision. I'm sad and scared, but I'll do my best to be okay. I apologize in advance if anyone posts in the thread during that time to ask questions, give feedback, or report bugs and it takes me a while to respond. Finally, I'd like to thank Palletite and Punkeev/Steffi again for all of your help. Making sprites (along with art in general) isn't something I can do myself, and I'm very grateful to have such amazing artists on the Spork team. You've both done so much for me even though I'm not able to do anything for you in return, and have been inspirations to me on a personal level as well. I really hope you're able to achieve all of your goals in life.

I have some very exciting news to share today! Palletite has returned! Not only that, but her sister Punkeev is assisting her in making sprites! A lot of progress has already been made, and everything they've done looks amazing. I'm happy that Palletite is feeling better enough to return, and I'm happy to have Punkeev offering assistance as well. (Punkeev also inspired me to start posting again more outside of the Spork thread, haha) Here's one they worked on together that's been finished: Strawberry!

Thank you for letting us know about the out of date links in the directory. I've made some updates to the directory in question: some topics that have newer and updated versions have had their links changed to those, and I deleted a thread that led to a 404 Not Found error. There's one thread that has a newer version that I couldn't update, though, as it's been hidden. A few archived threads I kept in there either because they're still relevant or a newer version hasn't been made by anyone. If you stumble upon any more outdated directories, you can let us know either by making another thread or using the report function on the directory to explain that the links are outdated.

Exactly! Primarina's one of my favorite Pokemon.

Typing would be Water/Fairy (I'm an ice cream sand witch, but water is actually my favorite element) I don't have exact numbers in mind, but in terms of range... HP: Assuming stamina is a way to measure HP, I'd say around average? The amount of stamina I have really depends on the specific task. There are some things I could do for hours at a time and others I wouldn't be able to handle for even a few minutes. So I'd say that averages out Attack: close to nonexistent Defense: close to nonexistent. Hitting my head on something or banging my knee is enough to have me in serious pain Special Attack: my highest stat. I feel like I'd be good at elemental and distance attacks, and I lean towards those in games Special Defense: higher than defenses, but not as high as Special Attack. I'm able to deal okay with things like weather that I'm not used to Speed: Average or above average

Thank you! I've reuploaded with this script in fixing the Contrary/Intimidate issue. Oh, the part I used from Reborn was switching hidden abilities for Pokemon with two abilities from the hidden slot to the second slot in pokemon.txt. I originally planned to use Reborn's hidden ability scripts from RPG Maker and Ame tried to help me do so, but it ended up not working since Reborn uses an older version of Essentials and a lot of code has changed since then. IIRC the name and placements of scripts related to hidden abilities in mine were different than in Reborn's.

I understand less, I have zero coding knowledge whatsoever XD Maybe the ! is for if the opponent doesn't have Contrary, since with the section that has Clear Body and other abilities below it, there isn't a ! but instead it goes into more detail about what happens, whereas the Contrary one is just one line followed by something to do with Mist. The Mist seems to be for even more specific situations. Like "this is what will happen if the Pokemon does/doesn't have Contrary and Mist is active", but I could be wrong.

I just checked the scripts and it seems like there actually already is an interaction between Intimidate and Contrary o . o

That makes sense, and I think it's most likely the cause. I encountered a few Farfetch'd that had Defiant, and Intimidate activated their ability without any issues, so maybe Defiant has an interaction with Intimidate and Contrary just needs something similar. Intimidate didn't boost Fomantis's Attack after the error message.

I just tested and I didn't get this error: But I noticed that part of that error message mentioned line 744 in BattlerEffects, so I checked the script editor to see what's mentioned there and: Line 744 in BattlerEffects is for the Contrary ability. I know that Crolea's Inkay/Malamar (and a few other trainers' Pokemon) are set to have Contrary, and I've never experienced this error with them nor have I ever edited the Contrary script. It's possible that this error is for some reason exclusive to wild Fomantis with Contrary, or maybe it only happens with wild Pokemon and not trainer Pokemon. Both cases would be strange, but those are the possibilities that come to mind right now. I apologize if you lost a lot of data due to this error. I need to do more testing to narrow down the cause in order to fix it. EDIT: @bida2 I just tried to see if I could replicate the error by encountering a wild Pokemon with Contrary. First I tried with Inkay, encountering around 15-20 of them so I'd be sure I'd run into at least one with the ability, and not getting an error. Then I went back to Tinder Forest to see if I could with Fomantis, intending to catch all the ones I find to see if they have it. The first Fomantis I caught has Contrary, so it seems I'm not able to replicate the error: EDIT 2: You mentioned that your leading Pokemon was Incineroar, and it dawned on me that Incineroar can have Intimidate as an ability, which would activate Contrary. I gave myself an Incineroar with Intimidate and ran around Tinder Forest until I encountered a Fomantis with Contrary. I got an error message, but it was a different message than yours. It seems like when Intimidate activates Contrary at the start of a wild battle, this happens. I also tested this in a trainer battle with Crolea, and the same error message popped up, although the error didn't crash the game. The battle continued on as normal after closing the error message. Unfortunately, I have no idea how to solve this... For now, I added it to the known bugs list.

It's possible with Pokemon with two possible abilities, since the hidden abilities with those Pokemon has been changed to the second. But with Pokemon with three possible abilities, people would need to send me their save file in order for me to change it.

Originally* the breeders had Audino with just Healing Wish, as they are now. Then they were changed to having other moves too, and then I changed them back to just Healing Wish since people requested it. I want to keep them with just Healing Wish since people prefer to have them that way and I've already changed them a few times. *originally for the public release. before the public release of episode 1, the breeders weren't Audino trainers and had a variety of different Pokemon

I'm glad you're enjoying the game! Reducing the amount of early game trainers is something I've strongly considered for over a year. I'm not sure how long it would take or when I'd get around to it and I still need to think on some things like if I should lower Gym Leader levels to account for less trainers, but I do think it'd be for the best. It would probably be done sometime after the full game's public release. So far, this is what I've considered in terms of trainer reductions: -possibly Cianosa City. I think Virima should maybe be the only city where trainers battle outside. On the other hand, since there's a trainer school nearby, it makes sense they'd want to practice in the city, so I'm not entirely sure. I'd probably remove the tourist near the Game Corner at the very least. -I like that the bottom floor of the Trainer School has the trainers there, since they're each supposed to represent a status condition, and a lot of the boards in trainer schools in the official games teach about status conditions. But I don't think the second floor trainers are as necessary. -Gentleman's Club: I was thinking that the acting chairman could be the only one who battles the player, while the others are just normal NPCs -Bolaii Beach: I don't really have any strong reason, I just feel like this would be a good place to remove some trainers. The ones in the Sand Castle I would probably keep. -Forest of Feeling: if rangers normally aren't allowed to battle other trainers there, maybe civilians should abide by that too. And on the other hand, for midgame, I think it'd make sense to have a few trainers in Premoggin Canyon. I actually don't understand why I didn't put any there. Maybe instead of removing some trainers entirely, I can reassign them to mid-lategame areas and adjust their levels accordingly.

The breeders are there in case someone runs out of trainers to battle but still needs to gain more levels in order to take on a Gym Leader. In the early game they're probably needed less often because there are a lot of trainers to battle (in my opinion, up to the 5th gym I put way too many trainers; others have mentioned getting fatigue from so many battles too), but there are less during the late game. Between the 13th - 15th gyms there actually aren't/won't be any ordinary NPC trainers at all aside from the breeders; it's just a few boss battles and the Gym Leaders. When I was developing the content past the current public release I fell behind in levels a few times since there are significantly less NPC trainers later on.

Additionally, I do put in genuine effort with boss battles like Gym Leaders, but I'm not really aiming for it to be difficult. If there are people who have an easy time with the game, I'm okay with that. People who are looking for more of a challenge have the option of doing specialized runs by setting up certain rules and restrictions for their playthrough.

I just remembered that after I completed the legendary sidequests at the end of January, I meant to reply to this post again with these images:

These are Data Vault entries from the end of the game, but I think it's okay to post them since I also explained this stuff in a post a few months ago. These entries just go into more detail than my post at the time did. The way Spork's universe works is based off of a planet called Cerri, which I believe is our real home where we were born and where we'll return to. There are a few other ways that Spork works like Cerri, but the main one to keep in mind for the game aside from death not existing is this: In February, I wrote a 5-entry series about other specific people and places that are inspired from Cerri, though depending how far in the game you are, they contain major spoilers. Since you quoted that from the opening post, I'm assuming you haven't played and were reading the summary to see what Spork is about.
