How would one go about changing their pronouns in game? Just curious now Thanks!

I actually like the battle difficulty this time around; I was challenged but I could win without being super lucky or taking 1000 attempts to secure a strategy. Then again, I tend to play games for story and enjoyment, and while I like to be challenged, I'm not a fan of constant crushing difficulty. Either way, just my 2 cents! As for the story stuff

Is where to find Ponyta, since it shows blank on the list for me.

Alright, that helps a lot! Also, just out of curiosity

Figured it might be better to post this here

Thank-you for taking the time to answer (and making the game, or course!). Looks like I'm replaying Ep 5 (and won't rush through it, haha) I also figured out the back-up thing.

Hi there, I didn't know where to post this, or if it deserved its own thread, so I apologize if this isn't the place to post this. As it relates to the end of ep. 5, I will place the information in a spoiler tag Any help would be hugely appreciated!

I've been playing Pokémon for 12+ years and never noticed that Psywave thing; I feel really derp right now... Thank-you for clarifying that for me, though! Much appreciated.

Hi there, I've noticed an odd thing with my Munna; using Psywave on the poison types in the sewers doesn't register as super effective. I was wondering if anyone else had/has this problem, and if there's a possible solution. If it helps, I named my Munna and she has Telepathy as her ability. Thank-you!

I'm glad I could help! One of the awesome things about Pokémon is the amount of freedom the franchise gives you to build your own stories. There's just so many different possibilities that all work within the established lore, and there's a lot of room for fanon as well. Sky's the limit!

I really believe that Pokémon adventures can deviate from the traditional formula and come out BETTER for it. My reasoning for this is quite simple, it would provide a unique experience and force the creator to come up with a new story-structure. Phoenix Rising is a great example of a fangame that's moved away from gyms, and it's looking great so far. Colosseum and XD are two canon games that avoided gyms completely, which gave fans different motivations and goals. We've all played the classic "BATTLE THE GYMS, STOP THE EBIL PEOPLEZ, BE A CHAMPION" type of Pokémon journey, and while it can be made into a fresh experience, I think trying to go in a completely new direction would be a very nice change of pace.

I think that's one of the bigger things that happens in fangames, using gym leaders as a vehicle to add important supporting characters. It's quite understandable too, as Leaders are insta-strong trainers that usually have some authority/recognition/respect, so they can easily have an important effect on the plot. However, I think other possibilities are often neglected, such as, ace Rangers, mercenaries/vigilantes, reformed grunts/evil team higher ups, priest/priestess/guardian to an important Pokémon, active researchers, ect. I think the idea of including a reformed baddie could be extra interesting, as I've rarely seen it done, and it could provide the heroes with access to a base or something (instead of storming the pace with a gym leader) Just my 2 cents, of course

@ssbCasper Gotta love those coincidences, haha. Glad Estelle could be helpful for you ^-^

Gah, how in Mew's pink holy name did I miss this thread?! trainer name: Estelle trainer type: Librarian Favorite type, types or theme for a team: Fairy-types mostly, because fairy tales. Ace Pokemon: Sylveon Character traits or personality: She's a bit shy at first, but talk about books and she opens right up. She's also a bit of nerd and enjoys all things mythology, folklore, and fairy tales. Estelle is a friendly character and tries to do what she considers to be the right thing, but can be a bit hesitant at first due to being a bit of a fearful person. Despite this, she's quick to act if her family, friends, or Pokémon are in grave danger. Also, has a fear of Beedrill (makes sense, considering fairies are weak to poison, and wasps are scary, haha). (optimal): if you were an important figure what would your sprite be like: I don't have an example, but something based on the Clerk class would be fitting. Alternatively, a sprite of a female with glasses wearing a cardigan and dark pants would be perfect. Can't have a proper librarian without a cardi, haha.

I personally liked the tone of your post; it's serious enough, but not too heavy either. I'm guessing that's what you meant, right? (if not, just ignore this, haha) Either way, I'm a dead fish when it comes to helping with mechanical aspects of making a game as I'm a total n00b at it. That being said, I really enjoy reputation systems; not only do they add to the game's replay-ability, but they also allow you to impact the world in a realistic way. It's also really interesting when your options go beyond the "black vs. white" and force tough, nuanced calls. It's also important to note how choices can stack, and how that may affect events down the line. For example, choosing Estelle-friendly options twice, but then defying her the third time would likely yield a less negative reaction then if you had sided against her previously. Estelle may even become convinced you're right and side with you that third time, even though it goes against what she would have otherwise done. I apologise if I rambled and/or failed to contribute anything worthwhile...
