V13 Discussion Thread

[Tikkit]

Well, Karen seems to be a rock monotype already, and Tesla uses both a Charizard and a Talonflame, so she could definitely be a fire monotype. Though the Elite 8 being based on meta strategies would be pretty cool. It was fun going through a trick room team and a baton pass team and such.

I keep on forgetting that Silvally is a legendary. Thanks for that.

No, Cera keeps the Groundon after the battle in the Mountain.  Even though she doesn't like it and prefers ice type pokemon.

Ah, it's been a while since I played through the game. Maybe I should start up a casual difficulty file just to re-find all these small details that I've forgotten.

Also, as a sort of sidenote, what exactly is happening with Indriad? For someone who is supposed to be a sort of big bad, doing lots of stuff behind the scenes, we never actually directly see him in the present after the stuff with Maria all the way back before you even reached Goldenleaf. It honestly seems a bit... Strange, for him to just disappear from the plot after the cliff hanger with his daughter remembering something and using those weird light powers.

His name is Kieran, yes. That was revealed in a v12 flashback when Braixen was the only one left fighting against Freya atop of Eclysia Pyramid.

Here's a vid to do the rest of explaining (lol):

[Edo]

What if the ones behind the Silver Surfers are actually Jan and Zumi?

 

    

[enderowl]

What if Zumi was Risa Raider who is actually Freya?

 

[Draconis]

Development's been a little slow lately. Is everything okay over there?

[Kyublivion]

Heres my latest theory. What if. WHAT IF. Ren is actually... SpongeBob SquarePants.

No. Look at the first page. It will tell you how percentage there is.

[Kakkazan]

Was there an update earlier today? I saw that the UI changed and the central building of GDC. 

 

EDIT: Multiple places have changed in GCD. Idk if I'm supposed to progress further in the story or if i'm doing something wrong, but I lost access to the helping Plaza and the balcony in the penthouse we currently live in with the crew.

From what it can be inferred, Indriad has fused with Anjou, who he had locked in his backyard, forming the evil Angie. Come to think of it, it could have been that Marianette "killed" or "banished" him and he had to find the nearest living being, i.e. Angie? Considering all that manor thing wasn't in another dimension...

Explained the situation with development specifically in this post on Monday, but to explain it in short as of why stuff is slow, everyone's coping differently in regards to the pandemic and it's affecting development speed. It's not in my place to go into full detail, but please understand that not everyone is in a mentally sound place right now, and the stress surrounding the whole situation at hand is making it hard for people to focus on working on the game for extended periods of time. The mental well-being of the dev members takes priority over working on the game. We're still working on it, it's just... A lot slower than anticipated. None of us expected a pandemic to happen on top of the already delayed-by-gen-8 dev cycle.

[The Fangame Connoisseur]

I speak on behalf of everyone when I say that we care a lot about your well-being, and the well-being of all the developers. I'm more than happy to offer you whatever support I can muster during these trying times.

Oh yeah! Cosmia and her brother did sort of assist Nim, with the flying gym leader at least. Kinda weird, since a help center quest way back on Terajuma hints that they're on team Xen's side, and Nim is working with Crescent, who hates team Xen.

perhaps cresent uses Lorna (Nym) to turn the people that Cosmia and her brother lured out into stone so that they can't catch and use them for whatever reason

I understand. I was just making sure you guys were okay.

[gilam]

in v13 there is any chance that the golden items will be available in the game, and not only via AP?

and how much gyms will be available in v13?

Just chill
The overwhelming majority of us will just wait for it, it's better to take care of yourselves in this trying times anyways
Not gonna lie, waiting a little longer because of it kinda sucks but it's inevitable, it isn't a situation any of us any had control over anyway. specially you guys

Dunno about the gym part but I am pretty sure Golden items will always be purchasable via AP and, frankly, it isn't that hard to farm AP, I currently have 45AP and I have nothing better to buy with it after I got all the Golden items (The Golden Jetpack can be left for last since Waterfall HM isn't implemented yet in the environment, only in battle)

Golden items aren't even necessary, they're just for comfort/convenience, so it's unlikely to be changed. And frankly I see no need to change that. Also iirc more achievements and therefore more points will be available in the future, so it will become even easier to farm for points. We might even get more rewards to buy with AP, who knows.

And it's implied that the Dark and Fairy gym leaders are fought together, so they'll probably both appear in V14, so V13 would only add Saki's gym making it 15 gyms total.

Ah in the beginning I went straight for the training cards, Atk and Sp.Atk first, Def and Sp.Def later
The way I've done it was by using multiple Pokeballs to capture a single pokemon, I was doing that because I want a pokemon with descent IVs in the beginning to hold me up until I managed to be able to breed them and realized that using Pokeballs counts as both "Items are Handy" (Use Items) and "Mid-Battle Maintenance" (Use items in battle) and since I was grinding for that pokemon with descent IVs I also technically did "Tired Feet" (Walk around) and "Running in the Tall Grass" (Encounter Pokemon)
