Mini Announcement

I've been doing some more work recreating sprites lately and I ended up completely redesigning Emily (the character announced a few days ago) so now that character design is completely null. Go me for being an unorganized perfectionist. Here's the comparison between the old and new designs.

Old Design New Design

That's all I can talk about today. There's more things I want to discuss but I'm afraid that'd be spoilers. Hold off Caz, hold off.

as long i get the next episode

i dont have anything to complain about

i got to ask though

is it possible to evolve pokemon that needs to be traded in episode 3?

I can confirm for sure that there is ONE Link Stone in Episode 3. Although getting it is quite difficult.

Hmm, the two sprites give off a different vibe if you know what I mean.

It's just that the slightly darker colour makes her feel less vibrant to me; the slight attire change making her feel more of a sports (not that it really affects anything), and she seems a bit older.

Don't worry, it's probably a side-effect from watching too much anime to associate personality with clothing and hair colour. Heck, I'm not even sure it stems from anime >.>

(By character design did you also mean personality etc. ?)

No. If I changed her personality that would change a huge portion of the story. Sports person? Well she is Blackview's mascot. I made her hair a little dark simply because I think it looked better than the bright version ._.

Ooh, I like Emily's new sprite!

Also, just wondering, are Pichu, Yanma, and Burmy time-specific (like they only appear in the morning) or just really rare or both? I can't find any of those three :[

Pichu and Yanma are both found in the Celeste Grotto (the area before the clouds) but their encounter rate is crazy low, similarly to Starly. Burmy are found on Route 2. None of these Pokemon's encounters are affected by the time of day.

Ah, okay, thanks. I still wonder how I have yet to found a Burmy >>

Anyway, I have about 80 Pokemon in my Pokedex now? Those Audino Trainers are really helpful since they spam Healing Wish when you send out a Ghost type <3

When will Karrablast & Shelmet and the means to evolve them be available? Just asking out of curiosity.

Not for a little while yet but probably within the next two Episodes. I'm pretty sure I'm just making them evolve through a Link Stone for now.

Sorry to be a bother, but female Meowstic has "Prankster" as a hidden ability instead of "Competitive.

(If this has been addressed already, ignore this. 46 pages is a bit much for me to go through.)

Not a bother, you're reminding me of an issue I still need to fix.

lol, I remember this bug from reborn, was training up a female meowstic for shelly (can you say +3 spatatk on turn one?) but nope, prankster :/

I really like the sprite change, makes the glove way more clearly a sport glove vs. form-fitting

The bug is actually with Essentials itself. It doesn't support different movesets and abilities for different genders.

That's right. I'm planning to find a solution perhaps using multiple forms but I don't know if it would be possible.

could you not do something similar to Nidoran making both genders their own species

I'd rather not create two Pokedex entries for Meowstic. That would shift the entire Pokedex number of every Pokemon and I'm not sure that that's a good idea.

Mini Announcement

This is a super secret beta tester invitation. Those of you who want to be a beta tester for Desolation Ep 3, please send me a PM or just post in the thread. There will only be limited spaces and I'll be choosing people based off whether I think they will give constructive feedback or not.

Beta testers are expected to give a list of bugs they found, a general review for the Episode (what they liked, disliked, what could be improved). Make sure this is constructive criticism that will improve the Episode for players outside the beta.

First in first served, I guess. Those of you who did a good job beta testing last time, you have priority.

That's all for now grasshoppers \o/

Super secret indeed :Kappa:

As much as I want to hop on the ride, I give weak feedback and I'd be too hooked to even study.

That's fair enough. I understand that some players just want to play the game and that's why I try make it super clear what testers have to do.

Wantee Wantee Wantee!!!

On a more serious tone, if I do get the opportunity to do thy beta testing I do hope that the fact that my computer is a giant piece of naval embarcations is not a problem

And now, a bribe:
