Developers Jan Posted June 23, 2016 Author Developers Share Posted June 23, 2016 The grotto hasn't been visited for quite some time. Though, it is not forgotten, and its importance will shine through very soon. New grotto ahoy. Edit: It has occurred to me that I put an old version of the map, rip. Updated now.

EndlessCube Posted June 23, 2016 Share Posted June 23, 2016 so far from what ive seen this update seems to be heavily updating old maps. I wonder how much plot we will be getting this time around? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Global Mods Ice Cream Sand Witch Posted June 23, 2016 Global Mods Share Posted June 23, 2016 ... wh- I lost my memory again. The Grotto is where Narcissa's Chandelure rest? The grotto is where you battle spirit Keta. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grelliebean Posted June 23, 2016 Share Posted June 23, 2016 (edited) ... wh- I lost my memory again. The Grotto is where Narcissa's Chandelure rest? No. That's Amethyst Grotto, where you battle Keta's spirit for the Gym Badge.

Gardevoir4president Posted June 23, 2016 Share Posted June 23, 2016 So where is this grotto xP im confused Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ramiru Posted June 23, 2016 Share Posted June 23, 2016 When we beat Keta and his soul got put to rest, we saw a big 1/5 on the screen. At first I assumed we had to absorb 5 souls with the "Soul Stone" or whatever it's called, but I've come up with another theory. Since characters dying is nothing new to this game, what if all the Xen Executives will eventually die and their souls will be absorbed by the "Soul Stone", and then when we go back to Amethyst Grotto during some plot point down the line, we will finally unlock the secrets of Amethyst Cave. I don't really know how plausible this is but it's just something I came up with since Keta was also a Xen Executive and there are 4 others.

(Ren doesn't count) it makes sense, but what is the connection to amethyst cave and the other Xen Executives we know of keta since his spirit has been there for a period of time, but there are no connections to geara, madelis, neved or madame X Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After all it's just a theory Btw it would be Nastasia, not Madame X since Madame X is something else entirely, though we don't know what. A theory for another day.

Developers Jan Posted June 23, 2016 Author Developers Share Posted June 23, 2016 so far from what ive seen this update seems to be heavily updating old maps. I wonder how much plot we will be getting this time around? And this will be the last of its kind. There will be a other map remodels here and there, but not nearly on the scale as it has been. I've refrained from showing any new content because I want this update to be about exploring. I guess there's not a ton to explore, but enough. Version 8 will be completely blind for everyone.

Oh god. Now I'm really asking myself if I want to start over immediatly from the beginning or start from where I am right now and finish V8's story content and then restart. Someone please give me pros and cons of each decision xD I can't make up my mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jmanultrax1 Posted June 23, 2016 Share Posted June 23, 2016 pros - finish a good update with a new story influence, with a plot twist. conquer the evil villain to appear to bomb the train. cons - finish the update start from scratch, with new updated areas, sprites, and so on. Then deal with the difficult gym leaders, and train to catch up and beat them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Milotic Posted June 23, 2016 Share Posted June 23, 2016 I mean if anyone really wants to start over you can, for one you've already played through the game, so it won't take nearly as long as it did the first time around. And there is something called save files lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valyrym Posted June 24, 2016 Share Posted June 24, 2016 Jan, can you make a multiple save file feature... please... this would actually fix one of pokemon's biggest problems Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
