A Positively Puzzling Proposition Positing a Plethora of Problems

Oh wow. I'll enjoy it

I’m shivering

As Ame would say; "If you suffered, i suffered first, for you"! Keep up the good work, really looking forward to it!

Not even Lostelle can save us now...

Can't wait to :

1. Feel the excitement of playing a new episode again

2. Discover every corner of that episode with great joy

3. Stumble upon this puzzle at some point

4. Try to solve that puzzle with excitement

5. Try to solve that puzzle with boredom

6. Try to solve that puzzle with anger

7. Suffer to try to solve that puzzle

8. Maybe solve that puzzle

9. Catch every new obtainable pokémon with excitement, joy, boredom, anger and suffering.

Keep up the good work guys! Can't wait to see that green marker on the scoreboard reach 100%!

Oh God. The nightmare begins.

Have we finally received a puzzle worse than the Crustle puzzle?

EZ! I'll beat it in a minute! 

(I'm ready to eat those words. I'll probably be hungry from the salt overload anyway.)

The question is: how did Ame come up with an unsolvable puzzle? How high is her IQ?

Aww man if i stumble into this puzzle either i solve it in 5 hours or i have to wait for someone to upload a video to solve it (╯‵□′)╯︵┻━┻    ○|￣|_ =3

5,000,000 "moves" huh...sigh better call work, and say I won't be coming in for while.

"It just works".

If Ame really made that puzzle herself then just wow...

I'm scared, I'm actually afraid of a puzzle.

I just recently got through the horror show Mirage Tower, and now you're going to give me this!

...

I mean I'm gonna do it, but still...

None asks, what is the prize? Is it Dratini? Store Sticker? Or, I guess, something like PokeSnax or an Ultra Ball.

Probably, something big. I bet, Larvitar!

Meh, It could just mean that Marcello wrote an ineffecient algorithm. Still might be interesting to see if I can "beat his score".

You people are evil...

But again I do play this game to suffer.

The hype just got bigger.

Fiasom shuddered in anticipation.

I cannot approve enough

You get Larvitar in Tanzan Mountain, entrance by surfing west on Tanzan Lake, behind Rock Climb rocks

Can't be much worse than the Turtwig puzzle in Agate Circus..... right?

I hope he can.

OH god, I have a bad feeling about this.....

Hopes it is just the programme is stupid.

Crud, even Lostelle will need help, and they are the main puzzle guide!

Let's put this into perspective: the train puzzle and the water type gym puzzle were already 2 very tedious puzzles in the last episode, so coming up with a puzzle that you seem to consider difficult and that was impossible before inserting that program doesn't bode well

Dave9@ So,long story short: We are screwed.

The fact that E18 can be released (in theory there is a chance) on my birthday (16/07) keeps me on a really really really hyped up state hahahaha

Keep up the good work

i don't know if i'm more hyped or scared now.

oh my, that sounds like one fun puzzle to try solve.

Time to spend SEVERAL HOURS on the damn puzzle....

That honestly doesn't sound like good game design.

damn, I wish Marcello was a more efficient programmer :///

I just hope there will not be wild pokemon...

Exactly, hard and interesting puzzle isn't equal to tedious and repetetive (like tauros/heracross in aventurine woods and I'm bashing it at every opportunity, I know). But let's put pessimism and critique aside until we see it in action - I hope the programme used by Marcello used some kind of 'brute force' to try out random 'moves' until one combination works or something like that, instead of finding an algorithm or a key.

I love puzzles, and since Ame wasn't sure it would work, and you Marcello worked it out logically and still found it difficult, then wrote a program for it makes me even more excited to try solving it.

Thank god for guides

The hype is real!

A few friends and I have  a bet on beating Reborn with the catch of only playing while hammered and no guides.

So bring it on, you absolute madmen/madwomen/madxem

no, have faith, Lostelle will save us(or else we are screwed)

It's probable Marcello's programme was semi-brute forcing it (meaning he gave the basic commands), but usually all non-tedius puzzles require some thinking outside the box. I can't wait to make a new playthrough during the beta and try it myself.

Well, guess I'll just wait for Lostelle to make a video on how to resolve it

Can't wait to make Marcello look like mediocore mathematician.

For reals tho, hope it'll be solvable with some effort... No idea how much time he spent trying

Hmm, hope this is either a prank or it's a sidequest that gives us magikarp xD

at the way the testing is going its gonna be another week at least since they only update the ep18 scoreboard once a day unless they change that all of the sudden.

Insanity... I like it!

I'll try to solve this puzzle while hearing Three Days Grace-Pain

Has anyone else noticed that the testing flow has not changed in 3-4 days

uh, Lostelle, we're gonna need your help if the puzzle is this intense. Ame have no mercy XDD

i am expecting the game will be out in first week of August

Jesus I'm already crying

So, Ame is just copy-pasting the Conkeldurr puzzle?

Sounds like fun. I mean, how hard could it possibly be?

This game will be the cause of my death. Thanks, Marcello.

Mercy?

that was a pretty inefficient algorythm

First check 8/1? Is that a typo? The others were out of 20 something, and 8 > 1.

The checks are dates, when we start looking over the bug reports from testing and shift our focus to fixing them, rather than just the fatal ones.

I think he was Joking, but whatever.

First Check is tomorrow. It may not mark the community release, but it means we are getting closer.

So... Can anyone tell me where is this puzzle? I have been looking for it and can't find it, thanks in advance
