Use an Ice Stone on it. 

Where can I find this...."ice stone", you speak of? Also, how can I get Nihilego when I already have beaten Tomas before updating the game?

You can find an Ice Stone at Bunnelby Burrows (a mystery dungeon reached through a ladder at the northeast of Cianosa City) or by speaking to this NPC at Bolaii Beach, who sells all the evolution stones: 

 

 

For your second question, he's always given a Nihilego (I checked his event page to make sure and he gives one), so if you've beaten him, you should have one. But going by your wording with "updating the game", it sounds you're confusing him with Dylan, the other leader who was involved in the vitamin operation, who was the 7th gym leader to be battled. If you're just updating to the unofficial ep 4 release now from a previous episode, you wouldn't have battled Tomas yet.

Is it possible to add a speed up mode in this game when you update it for future episodes.

From when someone asked a few weeks ago in the thread:

 

"I have mixed feelings about the speed up button which is why I haven't included it. On one hand it speeds up battles, and I use it for that purpose in Reborn. On the other hand I don't want people to skip through the dialogue, which is something I've seen people do in games with speed up buttons before. And often when they do this they're like "What do I do?" because they didn't read the dialogue so they don't know where to go."

 

Although I've been leaning towards it a little more since I posted that, it's still not definite yet. 

It's not even just that people might intentionally skip the dialogue, it could happen unintentionally too, if there's a line break error where the game automatically goes to the next line before the player has a chance to read anything. From what I've read and asked, it doesn't seem like anyone knows why those happen or how to fix them.

Ah ok, So you want the players to enjoy and read the story to avoid confusion, Gotcha

Why does the topic say "pokemon spork episode 3 and half" when the download link is of Spork 4?

It isn't the full episode 4 but it's still there in the download link

Where did the battle theme of Meda and Ivan come from?

It's a remix of a battle theme from Splatoon.

EDIT: I don't know how to post a video directly with the new site format, but the link should work.

Re-uploaded with the following fixes and updates:

 

FIXES 

-fixed dialogue with the guard in front of the Move Deleter's house, where he would still ask if you wanted the Marble even after he gave it to you

-Updated Chelsea's dialogue if spoken to at Bolaii Beach after the 10th gym, since it doesn't make sense for her to still say she hopes you or Emily will be the second Champion after someone becomes the second Champion

-Reflect is now sold as a TM in the Department Store. I'm not sure why Light Screen was there but Reflect wasn't. I may have forgotten to put Reflect there before. 

 

UPDATES

-Reduced the size of the following maps: Tourist Info Center, BCC Building, Jim's House, Game Corner, Cianosa Cafe, Rap Battle House, Trainers School

-Characters (rivals, Gym Leaders, etc.) now have different victory music than normal NPC trainers. (I also forgot to mention in the previous re-upload that the Team Portal grunt/agent battle theme was changed) (Victory music for characters) (Team Portal agent battle theme) 

 

I feel like I'm forgetting a few things. I keep notes on my phone for what I plan to update and fix for each re-upload, but I deleted the note for this one after re-uploading x . x

I'm Doing a Run, but I'm only using 5 Pokemon:

The Togepi Line

The Ralts Line (Gardevoir)

The Zorua Line

The Larvitar Line

And the Yanma Line

 

 

Who can guess the Significance of this team?

I think that Synchronization is Broken. I'm using a Timid Kadabra in order to get a Timid Kirlia for my Team. So far, I haven't got any Timid Kirlia's. Is this a bug?

I actually didn't know that Synchronize had any effects aside from giving the opponent the same status condition the opponent gives you. I haven't touched any data from any pre-Gen 6 abilities, so it may be that that effect of Synchronize just isn't programmed in Essentials, or it could be that I accidentally did touch some other ability data when putting in Gen 7 abilities without realizing it and caused it to lose that effect somehow. I checked the battle, move, and party-related scripts just now but couldn't find anything on that effect for Synchronize. I found the status ones but not the nature ones. If you send me your save file I can give you a Timid Kirlia.

I'm Gonna try to get a timid Kirlia on my Own. But I would suggest that you program this feature in the next Version of the Game. A lot of us rely on this Feature In order to make competitive mons.

I don't think I know how to program in something like that :S I have zero coding experience and it sounds kind of complicated (I can barely even get simple scripts to work right; when I tried to do the Water Bubble ability it ended up causing every battle turn on both sides to be skipped, making battles an infinite loop). I could ask someone, though. 

 

I do have plans for a nature changer in the future though, which will work differently than Reborn + Rejuvenation's in that it allows the player to choose the nature instead of being random. I'm not 100% sure where I want to place this nature changer yet, but it is something I want to do in the future if I'm capable of doing it.

There is nothing wrong with asking for help. So ask for help when you need it.

 

I have no coding experience, however. So don't ask me how to program it.

Heyz,

 

assuming i start a new file right now and start progressing it,  would the early game areas/battles/sidequests  have any differences compared to the upcoming ep 5?

and from which point onwards would it be worth to halt the run and continue it after ep 4 update?

I changed some early game things in recent re-uploads, like reducing the size of some maps that had too much space, fixing some bugs and oversights, and changing some music. Other than that, there are no more planned changes to already existing content. I am working on something right now that I might be able to show today or tomorrow, but it's not something you'll miss if you start a file now, since it's able to be done permanently/infinitely at any point in the game. 

 

For a point to halt the run for the next ep 4 update, I'd suggest the 11th gym, since the trainer sprites after the 11th gym aren't finished, and sprite progress is currently on hold due to Palletite having IRL issues. 

EDIT: I forgot to mention, there will also be sprite rvamps for characters from before ep 4, like Crolea, though they're not for any specific episode.
