Ice Cream Sand Witch

Oh, okay. I haven't really played Sonic (other than a demo of Sonic Heroes), so I didn't know Pokemon had a bigger fanbase. I assumed it was similar size to Pokemon just based on it being a well-known series. I used to disagree with the point that fangames might take away people from the main series since whenever it was brought up there were people that would either say "I still buy the official games" or "Fangames actually introduced me to the series", but lately I have seen people claiming that they didn't go back after fangames because they liked fangames more, and that makes me sad because it makes Nintendo's fears seem legitimate and might make them more aggressive (no offense intended to those people though) At this point my life wouldn't even be the same if fangames ceased to exist. Even though I only started playing them in 2014, I've gotten so much attached to some of them it would cause a void in my heart that wouldn't be easily replaced. What would I spend all that time doing that normally would've been spent playing Reborn, Rejuvenation, etc., or working on Spork? I think I'm safe since my contact information isn't public so they can't email me a C&D (not that I'd see it anyway since I don't check my email) and I'm 12 so even in worst-case scenario they couldn't sue me if they gave a C&D and I just put it back up, although thinking you're safe might be the first step towards becoming not safe, so. I honestly don't know what I'd be spending that time otherwise doing.

Although I do wonder if it's something they have to do, since apparently Sonic creators gave their permission for people to make Sonic fangames.

I'll probably make a list of all the Gen 7 moves, try sorting them into one of the contest categories, and then ask for input here for the ones I'm not able to sort. Speaking of which, I realized some time after making my last post that Darkest Lariat may actually be Cool instead of Tough. On one hand it is a wrestling move, but on the other Incineroar isn't really a conventional fighter, being Dark-type instead of Fighting, and the move is Dark-type as well. So that'll almost definitely be one of the moves I need help with categorizing.

Pokemon Prism, although one tweet I read said it may have been fake according to "private chatter in the dev team". Not sure how valid that tweet is though, since it wouldn't be "private chatter" if that person outside the dev team knew about it. Another tweet I read from another developer of a game called Azurine said they think it happened because they tried to make Prism officially, although I'm not sure what officially means since I didn't follow Prism.

Did you maybe accidentally press alt? There's a new speed-up feature in E16 that's activated by pressing alt.

It's likely I'll continue working with contests when Gen 7 is implemented so I can add in those moves at the same time I'm able to get contests working. Since contests aren't in SM, I'll be using my best judgment for the categories of Gen 7 moves, but I think it's easy to place them for the most part (ex: Sparkling Aria would be Beauty and Darkest Lariat would be Tough).

So I asked Rot8r_ConeX about the issue with the script, and there was a line in it he forgot. So I added the script again with that line and it no longer causes the game to crash when encountering wild Pokemon. So I re-uploaded ep 2 again, which means hidden abilities can be found in the wild for Pokemon with three abilities for real this time.

I'm not sure for the first question, but I can answer the second and third ones.

Re-uploaded with this fixed. When I tested this, it seems like the error was caused by the new hidden ability script, so I had to delete that. Which means that for Pokemon with three abilities, I have to go back to the old method of having people PM me their save file to give them the third/hidden ability for their Pokemon if that's the ability they want for it. Sorry that you lost so much data. It's a good thing I decided to check the forums before going to bed so more people didn't experience this.

INTRODUCING SPADE, THE NON-BINARY PLAYER CHARACTER Spork now has a non-binary character! Their name is Spade. The naming theme for the player characters is fork (Frank), spoon (Sierran), and spork (Spade). There are two ways to play as Spade without needing to start a new game. I've added them to every Pokemon Center, where you'll be given the option to become them by talking to them. Additionally, you can become Halloween Espurr and then switch to any three of the player characters. Also, bug fixes: -The Gen 7 starter lines can now learn TM moves -Pokemon cries now play in battle again -Pokemon with three abilities can now be found in the wild with their hidden ability -Can no longer walk through the walls of Olidroll's Training Center -Tranquill's battle sprite is no longer way higher than it's supposed to be Thanks to Palletite for creating the sprites for Spade, and to Rot8er_ConeX for the script that allows wild Pokemon to appear with hidden abilities! Regarding Gen 7, since Ame is now working on a Gen 7 Essentials pack, the rest of it will be implemented when that's complete. I've already planned out most of the locations for them and changes in characters' teams for Gen 7 Pokemon. On December 25, I'll reveal the Christmas Holiday Pokemon, which will appear in episode 3.

Team Meteor has Miniors: Team Mitior.

Ame has said on her tumblr that Julia is definitely getting Oricorio. She also listed a few other possibilities although that's the only one I remember off the top of my head. I also feel like Alolan Ninetales would really fit Serra though, because of the beauty theme.

The corrupted Poke Ball in the railnet is for those who missed it earlier in the game by not doing the event before the city was restored. If you've already gotten a Ralts from that sidequest earlier, the event won't repeat.

You can only donate to one project in E16. The second project will be doable after getting the leader after E16's leader's badge, and the third after the badge after that badge.

I actually didn't know that Ability Capsules only switched between first and second abilities. I assumed they could switch between all abilities. All Pokemon should be able to appear with hidden abilities, but GalacticMarshmallow had similar issues with Scolipede. I think I know what the problem is now. I copied the ability data from Reborn's PBS files. For Pokemon with two abilities where one is hidden, the hidden ability is listed as a second ability instead of hidden. For Pokemon with three abilities, it looks like this. Abilities=POISONPOINT,RIVALRY HiddenAbility=HUSTLE I questioned how this works with one ability still considered hidden, but assumed it must work since it does in Reborn. I guess more than the PBS files need to be edited for Pokemon with three abilities. I wouldn't know which part of the script to look in in order to enable hidden abilities for those, so I'll try either finding a tutorial or asking Ame so I can have this fixed for the next update. Until then, if you send me your save file, I can give you a Nidorino with Hustle.

The Pokedex entries are intended to say what they say. I edited them for two reasons. One reason is to remove mentions of death or similar darkness since death literally doesn't exist in Spork. The other reason will be kept secret for now since if I explained it, it would completely spoil something.

Thanks for letting me know, I've been wondering about this for a while. I'll fix it now!

This started happening when I upgraded Essentials to v16 (I'm not 100% sure if that's the cause since I haven't found other reports of it happening with v16, but I'm assuming it has to do with it since that's when it started happening). For some reason, the cries still play when interacting with Pokemon in the overworld but not in battle.

I haven't started on episode 3 yet. Episode 2 was released 10 days ago, and I've been working on bug fixing and polishing for it up to yesterday when I re-uploaded it (+some bug fixing afterwards for the next ep 2 update). There'll be one* more update for ep 2 which will add the non-binary player, but I'm also going to start working on episode 3 while Palletite is working on non-binary sprites, so when that ep 2 update comes out I'll have made some progress with ep 3. (later today is when I'll start mapping for ep 3) *one more unless I'm able to implement more of Gen 7 or get Pokemon Contests to work Also, while I'm happy that people are waiting for the next version, I'd prefer if people not ask questions about when the next episode will come out. It makes me uncomfortable because I feel like I'm being rushed (especially since episode 2 was literally just released). I'll do periodic announcements showcasing things in ep 3 along with mentioning how far I am when those announcements are made.
