^Likely a glitch, or maybe you were killing them too fast. for example, if a pokemon is paralyzed, frozen, sleeping, then it cannot actually evolve until it recovers. so that might've happened.
Moved the update to new page, so people dont miss it.
This is nice ~^.^~ I like this c: Good work!~
Thank you
Well, if it needs to be perfect, should I be combing the game for misspellings?
If so, before you release, can you send a version to me for manually correcting the mistakes?
I've once again just gone through the entire script and revamped it (the dialouge is much nicer now. the main character talks and responds more.) So there may be a lot more new misspellings.
On the other hand my grammer has gotten a lot better. Ill have a new beta soon.
I've followed this game from fairly early on and this has always been one of the most promising and unique games on this site, so given that I only check up every few months or so it's really good to see that some major progress is being made. I've always waited for full releases on both hacks and games here, but I can honestly say this project is the only one that intrigued me enough to want to try a beta version (an older one it was, 3 or 4 I think). I don't even mind if this game is never completed, the build I played was a pleasure to have done so, and I'm sure the current on is much more refined. I've been taking a full time course on games development at college, so I'm beginning to appreciate just how much of a pain in the ass these things can be so I'll leave you with this: Good luck! Make as much of this game as you're motivated to, you shouldn't feel obligated to finish it, but know that I'm quite excited to play it
thanks for the kind words
the game feels like a different beast compared to v0.4 the level of polish now makes it feel more like a real game rather than a amature fangame. When i watch let's plays of the game on youtube about older versions, i can't help but cringe a little bit at the bugs and spelling errors.
I'm so excited! >:D and congratz on uni!
I've been waiting for this game to be continued, and now that its starting back up, I can't wait for updates!
Thanks
it's nice to be back.

UPDATE
So i've spend much of the last week working on sidequests and planning the rest of the game out.
Sidequest-----------
there should be around 20 of them in 0.7b. each granting various kinds of bonuses. TMs, equipment, evolution stones, pokemon. etc. plus you get a trophy for completing each one.
Although the storyline is linear, the sidequests make it feel a lot more open.
Storyline----------------
i've pretty much finalized the storyline, PM me if you want me to tell you the plot of the game from start to end, it'll get massively spoiled, but on the other hand, I need thoughts about the story.
Map Update-----------
So I've done some minor updates to the map. Mainly layout changes. removing much of the planned second region and combining it with the first region to create one large region. I've pretty much nailed down where each legendary pokemon will be encountered.
Ill most definetly tweak it more as the project progresses, but they'll probably only be small additions and modifications.
(click to enlarge)
white areas = Completed (meaning it's coming in 0.7b)
light gray = Mapped (it's mapped, but not scripted, and wont be appearing in v0.7b)
dark gray = Nope. (doesnt exist as of yet)
Name Changes-------------
I decided to change the names of some areas. for various reasons.
Tasto Creek -> Aurum Creek [because tasto didnt mean anything, i took a word. added a vouel to the end of it.]
Resta Falls -> Leaky Falls [resta doesnt actually mean anything... same way as tasto]
Mt Sitor -> Mt Atlas [not sure if sitor meant anything, but now altas. named after greek god.]
Imbibo lake -> Ros lake [IIRC imbibo means drink in latin. but imbibo is a clumsy and hard to pronounce lake. Ros means wet. and is simple.]
Amplus City -> Magnus City [amplus was a fine name in itself, but i realised 3 of the first 5 cities you come across start with A. Aurum. Arbor. Amplus. might confuse players. plus magnus sounds badass. both amplus and magnus mean large in latin.
Cave of the Dammed -> Silent Ruins [more ruins than cave now... too many goddamn caves in the game...]
Funfact: each city in the game is a latin word.
Aurum Town = Gold (because main character's default name is gold)
Ventus City = Wind (because flying gym)
Brevis Town = Small (because it is small and has nothing of interest)
Arbor City= Tree (because it's next to a forest.)
Magnus City= Large (because it's the biggest city)
Ferreus Town= Steel/Hard (because it's next to a steel mine and steel gym)
Mors Village = Death (because of ghost gym and graveyard)
Portus City = Port (well... because theres a port)
Pokemon-----------
So in v0.7b heres what pokemon should be avalaible:
Eevee, Starter, Sentret, Pidgey, Weedle/Caterpie, Nidoran, Zubat, Bellsprout/Oddish, Psyduck(alpha), Geodude, Spinarak, Pineco, Poliwag, Mareep, Abra, Diglett, Grimer(alpha), Tyrogue, Pichu, Smoochum, Elekid/Magby, Electrike(omega), Drowzee, Exeggcute, Shroomish,
Natu, Lotad, Snubbull, Sandshrew/Phanpy, Hoothoot, Houndour, Seedot, Gastly, Houndour, Mankey. - theres a chance that a couple wont make it if i decide to change their locations.
Heres some corrupted. you might notice updated sprites for a few of them.

So in additon to
Pokecommunity Forums
Website
Blog
I've now expanded to social media. ill be posting updates there too. and you can use them to ask me questions. post comments. discussions whatever.

Next Version----------
So all this talk about v0.7b probably has you curious as to when it will be done... All I can say right now is Soon.
But I'll be putting beta versions out before v0.7b so people can bugtest them. I'll be releasing a beta version ( beta72 ) relatively soon in fact. So stay tuned.
