So there could be an even bigger asshole than Texen? O . O

1.6 is now out! This will be the final update before episode 2. It has a massive amount of additions and changes. BUG FIXES -Gen 6 mechanics should now be working properly -You can now fish in Western Waterway -The game no longer asks if you want to teach Blizzard to Orange's Rotom before battling her SPRITE UPDATES (credit goes to Palletite for these) -Frank and Sierran's back sprites have been updated -Sierran's overworld sprites and battle sprite have been updated -Emily now has a back sprite, and her battle sprite has been updated -The color of the dentist's uniform has been changed. He also has a battle sprite, but the player won't see this in-game as he isn't battled until episode 2. -I used some of Taboo's shiny Pokemon sprites, and also made shiny Espurr Halloween colors for its Holiday Pokemon event MAP UPDATES Almost all maps have received updates. Some of the most notable changes include: -Virima Town is now Virima City, with episode 1's part of it being a small suburb (the bigger part will be explored in episode 2). There are also more houses in Virima now. -Houses and various other buildings have been made smaller due to previously being way bigger than necessary -Added a study room and a practice arena to the Trainer's School -The Forest of Feeling is now purple-ish/pink-ish instead of gold. The battle background has been recolored to reflect this. -A new building (tent actually) has been added to Gellene Town called False Fortunes -A new map called Halloween Hideout in Wonky Pond. Must be Halloween Espurr to enter. NEW SIDEQUESTS + EVENTS -Holiday Pokemon feature added -4 Marbles have been added. Actually 7, but 3 of those require Surf which is obtained in episode 2. I also made a Marble location list since there are going to be 100 of them total. Not including Marble-related business, there are 5 new sidequests, 2 of which will span all 4 episodes of Spork (one of those 2 being False Fortunes which goes as far as the postgame). POKEMON AVAILABILITY (obtainability list has been updated with this information) -Players can now choose any first-form or standalone Pokemon as their starter, excluding legendaries -Chingling, Shuppet, Duskull, and Zubat are now obtainable as wild encounters in the Halloween Hideout -Fennekin event added -Metal Coat and King's Rock are findable to get Steelix and Slowking or Politoed ("or" because there's one currently available) MISC UPDATES -Emily now gives 5 Poke Balls at the Tourist Info Center in addition to the Pokedex -The Poke Balls shown when a trainer sends out their Pokemon in battle now match the type of Poke Ball shown in the character's sprite -The name of the Psychic trainer class has been changed to Mystic. I kept the teams for the ones in episode 1 the same, but in the future expect them to also use Ghost and Fairy types in addition to Psychic. -The move tutor in Cianosa has been removed. She'll be in Olidroll City in episode 2. I actually planned on removing her before the initial release of episode 1, but forgot I placed her in Cianosa to begin with. -Grace's name has been changed to Draga. I don't really have the energy to explain the reason behind the name change right now and it goes beyond Spork into personal life territory. But about the name itself, Draga is a Slavic name meaning "dear" or "precious". -Minor dialogue additions for the Crolea scene at Western Waterway and to Quinn in the BCC Building. -The item icons for the Kee and Maranga Berries are now the same size as the rest of the berries instead of being 1/4 their size -Added Swirlix to Delicia's team in the library battle If you don't plan on starting a new file for 1.6, I'd strongly recommend saving in a Pokemon Center or Pokemart before updating, as they're one of the few places that were untouched. Although I really think it's worth starting over for with how much has been added and changed ^^' I would like to thank Sweet Power Baby and Palletite for their help with 1.6. SPB offered suggestions for map changes and event details, and Palletite continued with amazing sprite work! also @ Spark Dynamo: there's now an Ability Capsule in episode 1

Oh yeah, I forgot the English and Japanese trailers sometimes show different things.

Question: so I keep seeing sites say that Olivia has a Lycanroc, but I don't remember that being shown in the trailer? The only Pokemon I see her use in the trailer is Nosepass.

It looks like we'll have an Arcfight.

My hypothesis on the two types not used are Dragon and Ice. Dragon because Baron already seems to be a Dragon specialist (although it's possible he's also the Dragon leader and we don't know yet, but I doubt that since Ava didn't recognize him). Ice because episode 3 had two large icy areas, a mountain and a forest, with no mention of an Ice leader. Ice is also Caz's least favorite type according to his sign up post from Pokenations 2. (I know there could be more icy areas in the future and that Baron using Dragon doesn't mean someone else can't use it too (after all there'd be a minimum of 2 repeated types for the E4 with 16 leaders), so that's why I said hypothesis instead of theory)

Alolan Muk is very colorful. I definitely wasn't expecting that kind of design, but I like it. It looks like it's been painted. Considering Tsareena's kick move, I wonder if it's sort of like a physical Lilligant. Ribombee's scarf is adorable. I might use the final evolution on my team. Olivia is hot. If the island kahunas have type specialties like the trial captains, that would make Hala Fighting, since he was shown using Crabrawler in a trailer. If the kahunas are also the E4 equivalents, that would make Olivia the first E4-class trainer to use Rock types, as every Rock specialist before has been a Gym Leader. Also I thought Ilima was female before, but seeing them in full they look androgynous. (I'm not sure if GF would make a non-binary character, but I'm using "them" because I honestly can't tell whether Ilima is male or female)

Yeah, this is pretty much how Courtney is in the games too. Just now we have a voice and facial expressions to emphasize it. I like that she said the "Look at that drill" line from ORAS. Her voice kind of sounds younger than she looks.

I always assumed it was Lin. EDIT: I just thought of something! People are worried that the city is going to be destroyed again because of that quote, but what if it's actually a flashback to the first time Team Meteor destroyed the city? . o .

Tabitha sounds like Gary Oak.

There is, and that's included in 1.2.

It is. 1.2 will be the full game, including postgame.

I always assumed Type: Null would be a standalone. It just seemed like one based on its appearance and lore. So I already went ahead and prepared Type: Null puns some time ago. I guess I'll just have to do Silvadi instead. Its facial features and structure kind of reminds me of Dialga + Palkia. I wonder if AR stands for Action Replay Jararanga looks pretty cool. I always wondered what they could do with a Dragon/Fighting design. It's hard to gauge what Ilmia's type is, but I could see her using Normal. I'm indifferent about Alolan Grimer, but I'm curious to hear the reason for its transformation.

Charlotte's gym had that puzzle too.

THIS. LOOKS. SO. AMAZING.!!!

Why don't we have the rest of the pictures yet? Don't we usually get all the pictures around the same time?

Ace members are beta testers. The beta is posted in the ace subforum.

Re: Magnezone, Caz said there'll be a place to evolve it in episode 4.

Hex Maniac or Fairy Tale Girl.

So, an interesting thing happened. I took a nap earlier and had a dream about the E16 status going up to 93%. Normally when I dream there's a minute or so after I wake up where my brain still thinks the dream is real, but for some reason I just had this feeling that the status actually had gone up to 93%. So I checked and it did. I think this is what's called deja vu?

Jan said in his AMA thread that Rejuvenation is planned to be the first in a trilogy (and also the longest game of the three).

It refers to ace members, yes. There's an ace (and staff) exclusive subforum which is where the betas are posted.

Where are those talking grapes from?
