There's a vendor in the Battle Mall who sells them, and you can also find one in one of the rocks at the Halloween Hideout. To evolve Poliwhirl into Politoed, use a King's Rock on it (the same way an evolution stone would be used).

Thank you ICSW! Loving the game so far btw.

Comfey is given by an NPC at Inoset Island (the swimmer near the harbor).

 

There's a notepad file titled obtainablepokemon in the game folder that lists all the currently available Pokemon as well as their locations. 

[J-Awesome_One]

Ohh. Well thanks for the info. I'll be sure to look at that from now on.

[LykosHand]

Well ICSW you did a really good job on this game; the music, the plot and the characters are fantastic .

I really like the remix of the rival battle theme of OR/AS when you battle Emily at the beginning.
Said this, i really love this game and compliments on your work; keep it up.

A lot cheers for you.

I'm glad you're enjoying the game  The remix of Brendan and May's theme was made by a Youtuber named Kamex. The music that plays in gyms is also from Kamex's channel.

 

As an announcement: I'm almost done with the Sea Star Society! Right now, it looks like ep 4's content will be finished either tomorrow or the day after tomorrow (unless something happens that slows my progress like getting sick or needing to go somewhere), after which I'll send it to Palletite for sprite revamps.

I forgot to mention this, but it seems that Freeze-Dry has a error. When I used it against a Ludicolo, it only received neutral damage when it should normally be weak X4. 

 

there is no error in this when you use a ice type move on a grass/water type the  dmg receive against the grass/water type would be that of neutral and not x4. the only weaknesses grass/water types have that i've found are flying bug and poison and none of them are a X4 weekless

This is normally true but Freeze-Dry's effect is being super effective on Water types.

i see thanks for that, i didnt evenknow they changed that, now i wish theyd reverse fairy's immunity to dragon

They didn't change anything. Water still resists Ice, this move is just an exception, similar to how Thousand Arrows can hit Flying types even though Flying is normally immune to Ground.

Move Deleter PSA

This is a bug that was reported around a week and half - 2 weeks ago that I initially forgot to put on the known bugs list after it was reported. 

 

In the original report, the user was trying to have the move Cut deleted from their Kartana, but upon selecting Kartana to have a move deleted at the Move Deleter's house, the game crashed. The user also mentioned this happening with any Gen 7 Pokemon they tried to use. 

 

It was also reported this morning. Upon re-reading the report the user said it happened whenever talking to the Move Deleter. Due to the wording I decided to see if this applied to all Pokemon and not just Gen 7, and it did. I tried with Meowstic and Ampharos, both of which caused the crash. 

 

I don't really know why this is happening. Since this bug has only been reported for episode 3, I assume either the Move Deleter was working correctly in episode 2 or that no one used him until recently. 

 

Unless I'm able to find out why this happens, the Move Deleter will need to be deleted (pun intended) for ep 4. If that's the case I'll also need to make HM moves forgettable through normal means. Until then, I advise not using the Move Deleter. 

[Ice Cream Sand Witch]

Update to Move Deleter situation: I deleted him from the game and made HM moves forgettable through normal means. Like with the name-changing office, there'll be a guard in front of the building. Since there was a Marble obtainable by interacting with his TV, this guard will now give out that Marble instead. 

 

Normally a bug like this that causes a crash is one I'd consider worth re-uploading for when fixed, but since I've finished the ep 4 story content and Palletite is currently in the process of doing sprite revamps, this fix will be in the public release of episode 4. 

 

Since the only HM move Pokemon in Spork need to learn to be able to use in the field is Fly, I assume the Move Deleter usually isn't needed outside of a few Pokemon that learn an HM move through level up, but in the meantime if anyone needs an HM move deleted from a Pokemon I'm capable of doing so if you send me your save file

Wonder Who's going to be the next holiday pokemon.

If you mean the one for episode 4, I've posted it in the thread. 

 

 

If you mean episode 5's, that one's going to be interesting. There's actually two of them, based on Mother's Day and Father's Day. I want to make an elaborate puzzle for them. 

[Lorekeeper]

Hi. So, I have a question that bothered me enough to sign in instead of being my usual lurker self.

 

Where do you find Walt in the third Ranger Mission???????

 

Seriously. Am I missing something here? I have bonked into every single tree in the Legend Dairy. Multiple times. In different episodes. I've even pressed 'A' on all of them. Is there something else I have to do? Because I'm actually kind of frustrated now.

 

Other then that, this is shaping up to be a fun little game. Definitely a nice break from Reborn, Rejuv and Desolation's constant depressing atmosphere.

The space to the right also works. You need to press space/a/the interact button. 

 

Thanks for reminding me about this. I remember at one point wondering if I should change this to allow the player to walk through in order to pass instead of needing to interact. I'll do that for the public release of ep 4. 

[Lorekeeper]

Thank you so much!! That was driving me nuts!!

[enerotreintiuno]

Hi @Ice Cream Sand Witch I never played this game and I'm eager to do so, the story and visuals look very promising. But reading from what is left to be done for Episode 4 what do you recommend me? Should I start it now, or wait until Ep 4 is finished? If you recommend me to wait, can you give an estimate on when according to what is left and Beta testing do you plan to have the episode finished?

 

Thanks!  

 

[Ice Cream Sand Witch]

So with ep 4 this far in development I wasn't planning to re-upload ep 3 anymore, but Palletite found a major glitch involving Baneful Bunker a few days ago. After a trainer used Baneful Bunker, the opponent's Pokemon weren't taking damage at all even in subsequent turns where Baneful Bunker wasn't used, and script errors were given before moves. This also happened with Grassy Terrain in episode 2, but I was able to quickly fix that as Grassy Terrain just had the incorrect move effect. In this case, Baneful Bunker's effect was correct, so it was a problem with the move itself. I had to remove it from the game as a result. Also this + the Move Deleter thing were kind of eating away at me x . x 

 

If you plan on downloading this re-upload, I strongly recommend those who have a Toxapex with Baneful Bunker to remove it before doing so. I don't know what will happen if you don't. 

 

So here are the fixes and changes in this re-upload:

-Move Deleter removed; HM moves are now forgettable through normal means

-Baneful Bunker removed from game

-Mudsdale no longer evolves into itself at every level

-Freeze Dry is now super effective on Water types

-You now find the hidden passage in Legend Dairy through walking instead of needing to press the interact button

-Fixed mountain tiles in Virima City

-Celesteela event added to Wonky Woods

 

To obtain Celesteela, you need to be Halloween Espurr. I added another area of gen 1 water tiles to Wonky Woods, just to the east of the TV that Drifloon was watching. You need to go to the middle of the gray water where the forest tile is and it will appear. 

 

@kingjrcasanova You replied while I was updating . o . That depends on what happens before May 16 (see this post for details). If the sprite revamps are done before May 16, I may decide to skip beta testing and release ep 4 then (in which case I'll notify and apologize to Nakuto) since I'll be away for a month and I don't think there'll be time for testing before then. Currently one ep 4 trainer's sprite sheets are finished, and Palletite is working on two others right now. If the sprites aren't finished by May 16, I'll still be able to PM Palletite while I'm away for sprite feedback, but I won't be able to upload ep 4 if sprites are finished during that time since I'll only have my iPad with me, meaning in that scenario ep 4 would be released June 15-16 at the earliest.

Thanks for replying, since you recently uploaded a version of the game with a few bugs fixed I guess I can start playing it. Will there be any major changes to content in previous episodes? Or Episode 4 is mainly focused on the new parts of the game? Just in case I miss something important that will be changed in Episode 4 that is content from Episode 3 or before. Because if that's not the case I would start playing it right away!
