Is the battle simulator/Rematch system bugged?
I sided with shiv but am unable to rematch aurora and instead only shiv.
Also Rosetta/Lilith/Hardy/Tristan/Grand Rogue/Sena are not on the battle simulator is that intentional?

Expand  

So siding with Shiv or not has no impact on the battle sim, we selected a bunch of trainers to go in there, this episode we added 2 new trainers to the sim but yeah, we can add more for ep6 if people want that but the selection there is the only selection for now!

I don't think this should be considered as a spoiler but which is your favorite custom shiny that's been sent over on the "Introducing the Shiny Project!" so far? 😎

Expand  

There have been a bunch of awesome Shinies that have come through but I can't spoil my favourite (since its in the game) however have this abomination instead

Question for Caz

So I remember back in Ep4 Rock Smash had 75BP and Mightyena got a bunch of Ghost moves by level up because of certain reasons. Neither of which is the cas ein Ep5.

Did these things get axed intentionally or did you just forget about them?

So ... I'm not sure if this has been answered, I tried looking it up and I haven't seen it as answered so I'm going to take the shot!
As we all know Pokemon Desolation has its own quests and sidequest and ... what is bothering me is the Weeping Hill book sidequest, I've seen some videos from previous episodes but I can't seem to find the key to enter the room that has said book, anyone knows how to do this?


PS: Yes I have done the other quest on weeping hills (Rangers quest and the Red Piece Quest)

I'm going to assume you mean the book sidequest given to you by a woman in Celeste. You have to have done all the rangers sidequests, and speak to Elliot. He'll give you a final sidequest in which you'll be able to access the library in the Weeping Hill, and you'll find the book for the woman there too.

I distinctly remember it getting Shadow Sneak and Shadow Claw.

Since Ghost and Dark are super effective against the same Types there's actually not much gameplay reason to use Ghost moves on Mightyena. You might have ditched them because of that.

Hey I wanted to ask, do the player characters have official names? Similar to how the player characters in Reborn and Rejuvenation have official names, I would love to know if the ones in this game do as well? I love playing a Pokémon fan-game more when the player character I'm playing as has their own name. For me, it makes it feel more part of the story then imposing a chosen name on a character.

by any chance, weren't certain moves buffed in previous versions? I recalled specifically that one of the reasons that i almost went with growlithe was that rock smash was more powerful, giving it more coverage. it has been a long time, but i doubt that i would make a mistake as glaring as that.

yeah you're not wrong, Caz previously mentioned that he had forgotten about the buffs, so they weren't included in episode 5. They'll probably be reintroduced in Episode 6 so long as either Caz or Posty don't forget again

Hey I just started the game using the game-z file and there are some awful frame dips every two steps I take. Its super jarring and honestly it feels like my sprite is slugging his way across the screen. Is there something I could do to fix this?

Expand  

Try using the regular game file. Game-z isn't compatible with everything, but regular Game might work. However, there still might be slight lag with regular Game in bigger maps.

Honestly, it has to be the Black Foxes, their overall aesthetic is gorgeous (Ruby fucking nailed it) and also Amelia is there so why wouldn't I want to be on the team with that gorl 😳
