Ice Cream Sand Witch

I recommend making it to where non-staff and non-development members can't post threads in the "Public Development" subforum. I believe that's the way it was with the old site's Development Blog, but I've seen ordinary members make threads for E16 questions in Public Development.

E15's TV event had Gardevoir telling her that Bennett joined Team Meteor and Serra saying she's going after him.

Episode 2 is now out! Although I originally planned to do an announcement showcasing Olidroll City, I was actually ~95% done with ep 2 by the time the site came back online. All that was left to do was finish the story events and ask Palletite for help with the sprites for trainers battled in the episode. Unfortunately, I haven't been able to get Contests to work correctly yet. I actually only recently realized the Contest mod for Essentials hasn't been updated for a few versions. I'm not sure when I'll have them working, but I have no plans to give up on it. As mentioned in the announcement above, since the episode structure has been changed, ep 2 adds 2 more gyms, bringing the badge total to 7. The marble location list and Pokemon obtainability list have been updated for ep 2. Here are the Pokemon newly obtainable (outside the starter event of course):

My hypothesis is that they'll be for a postgame sidequest, maybe for Darkrai or Giratina.

I'm still getting used to the new arrangements, trying to figure out where everything is, etc. but I think I've mostly gotten the hang of it. I definitely think the layout looks better than the old one.

PRE-ANNOUNCEMENT ANNOUNCEMENT: CHANGE IN EPISODE STRUCTURE I was originally going to include this in the announcement within the coming days where some of Olidroll City will be shown, but I thought it needed its own post to explain everything about when certain features will be coming, etc. Ever since the beginning of making Spork, there were 4 episodes planned: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner, and Dessert. But in the past few days, I've considered changing that. I came to the final decision to do so yesterday. This is the new episode structure from episode 2 onwards. Episode 2 - Olidroll, the Human Capital: +2 gyms; 7 badges total Episode 3 - Forks: +3 gyms; 10 badges total Episode 4 - Sea Star Society: +2 gyms; 12 badges total Episode 5 - Ice Cream Sundae: +2 gyms; 14 badges total Episode 6 - Party: +4 gyms; 18 badges total I'm not yet sure if ep 6 will continue to the E4 and postgame, or stop at the 18th gym with everything after being in an episode 7. Right now I'm leaning towards the latter. There are two main reasons for this change. The first is that when I think about each episode being 5 gyms, it seems so far away both in what needs to be done and the time to episode release. It makes me wonder "When will I get there? Will I ever even get there?" But when broken down a little, it becomes more visible. The second is that Olidroll could be considered an arc in itself. I based the new episode structure somewhat around arcs. (ep 1 content from beginning to 5th gym I'd also consider an arc, which may have partially been why I started with a 5 gym per episode rule) What this means in terms of things I've mentioned in the past as being in a certain episode: Pokemon Contests: will still be in episode 2, since they're in Olidroll Move Tutor: also still in episode 2 since she's in Olidroll. She's already been evented in. (Move Deleter is also in Olidroll) EV Training Centers 2 and 3: The second is still in episode 2. The third will be in episode 3. Surf and Fly: will be in episode 3. Hidden Power changer: episode 3. Sidequest Areas: The police one is still in episode 2. Beyond that, I've actually thought of another one as an extension of something I already had planned, so there's going to be 5. The third (the new one I thought of) will be in episode 3, the fourth will be in episode 4, and the fifth will be in episode 6 or 7. Battle Frontier: episode 6 or 7 Holiday Pokemon: Christmas = episode 3, Valentine's Day = episode 4, Mother + Father's Day = episode 5. Mega Evolution: episode 6. Ep 2 teasers: The one about the Data Vault is for an episode 3 event. The previous one about getting someone into trouble refers to an ep 2 event. Bigger part of Virima City: will be explored in episode 3. I think that's everything that's been mentioned before. This also means that episode 2 is close, but Olidroll announcement won't be release time. For the announcement, there are specific things I want to use for screenshots, so the announcement will be when I get to that point. There'll still be content I'll need to add after, and I'll need Palletite's help for ep 2 character sprites. I hope people are okay with this change ^^'

Out of curiosity, have you watched all these shows? You seem to know a lot of characters.

The link is in the first post of the thread under "Download Link". http://www.mediafire.com/file/62w6u21p9xwu055/Spork+1.7.zip

Still in beta testing.

Current version goes up to the 5th gym. From the last sentence under the story section of the OP: "The first demo goes up to the fifth gym, the second goes to gym 10, the third goes to 15, and the fourth covers gyms 16-18, the E4 and Champion, and the postgame." Episode 2 is currently in development, with an announcement coming soon.

It's possible there are other species who are more advanced than we're aware. Octopuses can solve Rubix/Rubiks (not sure which spelling is correct, I've seen both) Cubes.

The sprites weren't made by me. Art is actually my weakest area ^^' The sprites were made by a person named Palletite. If the tall grass you're referring to is the part that the trees cut into, that will be fixed for episode 2. I've been meaning to change that but kept forgetting to. The edges of maps being visible will also be fixed; I'm aware of it happening to the west of Virima, north of Aliora Meadow, and north of the part where Western Waterway meets Gellene. 1.6 actually did remove a lot of empty space, although it seems like I missed some key buildings like the Rap Battle House and Aliora's Herb and Berry Shops since I was mostly thinking about NPC houses. I plan on improving with mapping as I continue to make the game.

A jamming signal has been used before in the official games. Ghetsis's cane in BW2 worked like this to prevent the player from catching Black/White Kyurem. Also, the way you worded this: "Alolan Variants being inspired by Insurgence's Delta Pokemon" makes it seem like you're saying that Gamefreak got the idea from Insurgence. I don't think they'd knowingly take an idea from a fangame (they'd probably have to take action against Insurgence if they knew it existed, like with Uranium), and Delta Species existed in the TCG in 3rd Gen. It was Insurgence who was inspired by the TCG, where the concept originally comes from.

The Quick Claw is found in a Trainer's School between the 8th and 9th gym.

I'd meet Abraham Lincoln, send him to the present, and tell him about the Internet. Then I'd get him to make a LinkedIn account so he'd be Abraham Linkedin.

I used to have a similar thing where I thought Cradily was creepy and had a nightmare involving it at one point, although I'm not sure why I was creeped out by it.

My Sylveon has Misty Terrain. Whenever I'm in a field where I don't like my odds or need the opponent to do less damage, I use Misty Terrain. I did this against Terra due to Dark and Fairy type moves becoming Normal in the Glitch Field, making me unable to hit Claydol or Garchomp super effectively. Some people mentioned the new field possibly being able to disadvantage you too, or opponents changing the field back, which are both things to look out for, but that never happened to me with Misty Terrain. Misty Terrain doesn't have any disadvantages to the user like how some fields will damage Pokemon at the end of the turn that aren't a specific type, and the moves that end the field or change it to Corrosive Mist are rarely seen. I've never had an opponent change it.

1.7 is now out. It comes with the following changes and fixes: UPDATES: -Gen 7 starters are now in the game, again thanks to phoenica for the scripts and giving me permission to use them. All three of their events can be found in episode 1, and the obtainability list has been updated with this information. -There are now NPCs in Pokemon Centers and Pokemarts. They also have the music of the city/town they're in as opposed to the default Essentials music. -Chelsea's Wartortle is now a Brionne. Ever since Primarina was revealed I've felt that it'd be a perfect Pokemon for Chelsea, matching both her type and occupation. Also, her Jellicent is now set to female instead of having a randomized gender. The Alola quiz for the Trainer's School has been put in. I don't think there's anything spoilery in there, but I made an author's note when you're asked if you want to take it just in case. BUG FIXES: -Prism Scale can now be used to evolve Feebas into Milotic again -Can no longer walk through the top roof tiles of the Rap Battle House or the top left and top right tiles of the Sand Castle -It seems like Light Screen no longer brings up an error message or skips the foe's turn. This seems to have been fixed for a while and I'm just now aware of it. This will be the final update (for real this time) for episode 1 unless one of the following happens: -A Pokemon that should be obtainable is unobtainable (like the Feebas evolution issue that was fixed in 1.7) -A Gen 7 add-on of Essentials is made before the release of episode 2 -A Pokemon isn't learning a move that it's supposed to learn Also, out of curiosity, has anyone found the hide and seek sidequest yet?

To open up the Kristiline Help Center, you need the Center Keys. You get them at the end of the Kakori Help Center quests.

The winner from that poll was already chosen. It was Luxray.

I wonder why this one was on Wednesday instead of the usual Friday. . o .

There's currently no way to play RPG Maker games on mobile, only on computer.

I plan on adding Gen 7 Pokemon when an add-on for it in Essentials is done. I already know where I want to put Mimikyu. 1.7 coming out today or tomorrow will have the starters of Gen 7, thanks to phoenica for making the scripts of their abilities and moves for Reborn and giving me permission to use them for Spork. All three of their events will be in episode 1.

I just finished the postgame in Sun so here's a list of things that I liked and didn't like about SM. Warning: contains spoilers all the way up to the postgame. Liked Didn't like There may be some things I forgot. But I think Alola is my new favorite region and SM are my new favorite Pokemon games.
