Thank you! The postgame will include more Battle Marsh facilities, Gym Leader rematches, Lumos Island and more.
You can get Budew, Hoppip, Skiddo, Pumpkaboo and Shroomish relatively early on in the game. Fletchling can be found in Nestpine Climb.
This appears to be a bug, I'll try to fix it for Beta 3.
Long story short, yes, it does. Next time I recommend configuring your emulator properly before playing.
You just need to level-up your Eevee in the third floor up from Frostbite Cave's entrance from Nestpine Town.
You need to go to Nemesis Cave, interact with the Lileep Tablet, and then participate in the Bug-Catching Contest. After that, Vernon's Gym will open. Defeat the Gym and you will meet your rival, who will give you a Gas Mask, allowing you to pass through Telmurk Swamp.
Lopunnite can be found in Telmurk Outskirts and Aggronite can be found in Nemesis Cave.
I'll investigate and fix this for Beta 3, thank you.
The TM for Return is given by an old lady in Archan Tunnel. You'll need Rock Smash to get to her, however.
Thank you. I've not been able to recreate the first bug but I will look into it. I'll also look into the second one, I'm fairly sure it's just an implementation error on my behalf.
Thanks, I'll look into that as well.
Probably not, no.
Are you sure you patched it properly? A common mistake is failing to extract the ROM / patch from their .zip, first.
Gligar is not able to be caught in v2.5.
Thanks!
You need to take part in the Bug-Catching Contest.
Thanks!
Thanks, this will be fixed for Beta 3.
Yes, there are the Sinnoh starters at the beginning of the game and Belle will give you the second stage of the Kanto starter which your starter is strong against (so if you chose Turtwig, you'll receive a Wartortle). Treecko is not available at the moment, however.
The bug with the Telmurk Gym is known,but the change to Golett's evolution level is intentional (as you can see by it being listed in the README under the alternate evolution methods).
Yeah, this has already been changed for Beta 3. Thanks for playing, though!
Thanks! Progress is sort of slow but it's not completely stopped.
You likely patched incorrectly (it's also 1635 that's recommended, anyway). Make sure to extract everything, both the .GBA ROM and the .UPS file and patching program, before doing anything.
I'd rather you not spread the exploit to a bug. :/
Thank you! Budew's Pokédex entry has been fixed for Beta 3. I'll take your feedback for the difficulty on board but bear in mind Gaia is not trying to be any harder or easier than the vanilla Pokémon games are, but in the future I do plan to release some form of Gaia X patch where it does have an increased difficulty. That being said, it's not an excuse for this being a cakewalk so I will look into making it slightly more challenging. As for deleteable HMs, this likely will not happen as it would create for some potentially game-breaking instances (you could, for example, then just make the Pokémon you're currently Surfing on forget Surf and then potentially get trapped on an island). Thanks for the feedback, though.
Gengarite is not available in v2.5, no. Thanks for playing!
Press the Start button, just like Belle tells you.
Thank you, both of these bugs have been reported and I will try to fix them for Beta 3.
Gligar does not have a Secret Temple; it is not available in v2.5. Thank you for playing!
Moxie is not in the game, no. It is not necessarily a bug but I might make it so that the Ability Pill is not consumed if a Pokémon only has one ability, like what is the case with Gyarados.
Eventually, yes, I do plan to release a document like that. Thanks for playing!
Gible cannot be caught in v2.5. Evolutionary methods can be found in the README.txt; Eevee evolves to Umbreon with a Moon Stone.
Nope, sorry.
The letter grades on the summary screen indicate a Pokémon's IVs for a given stat, where an S rank equates to 30-31 IVs, and an F- equates to 0. Petilil can be found in the grass in Nemesis River.
Bannetite can be found in Telmurk Outskirts.
This is hardly a bug but I do believe I know of a way for it to not happen, so it may be 'fixed' for Beta 3.
I'd recommend you just patch it on your computer using the included tsukuyomi / NUPS programs to a FireRed ROM which you'll need to obtain yourself, and then transfer the patched file to your phone instead. I personally don't know how to patch ROMs on a phone, though, so I'd just recommend googling for a solution if using a computer isn't possible.
Beta v3 is planned to maintain compatibility with v2.5. saves, yes. Thanks for playing!
I don't know why I would randomly change the starter Pokémon, so no they won't suddenly become the Generation 6 starters. Ash Ketchum is an anime character and therefore does not exist in Gaia, nor would his Greninja (which, by the way, has not been confirmed as a Mega Evolution anyway).
I had considered roadblocking the user to force them to complete the third Gym but honestly I think I prefer letting the user decide; ultimately they will eventually have to get the Ember Badge when they reach the badge gates at Victory Road, but I think the slight non-linearity that you get from being able to go to Windmist Summit first or fighting the Gym first makes the game more fun.
It would certainly be interesting to try and implement the new experience systems and I'm not against trying that, so it may well be in Beta 3! As for the other type nuances that Gen. 6 introduced: I do definitely want to get around to implementing them for the final version of Gaia, but I personally have not looked into how to do so, so there's no guarantee they will be in Beta 3. I'm fairly sure the Sunflora bug has already been fixed if you were to redownload, but if not it will still be fixed in Beta 3.
Good job! Thanks for playing.
This is a known bug, likely connected to your Kirlia's nature. Perhaps try capturing one with a different nature and see if that helps. It's not an ideal solution but hopefully the bug will be fixed in Beta 3.
Moon Stones can be won as one of the prizes for coming in First Place in the Bug-Catching Contest, and they can also be found in Archan Tunnel and Telmurk Warehouses.
Regal Stones are evolutionary stones, and the Pokémon which evolve with them are listed in the README. More can be obtained by coming in First Place in the Bug-Catching Contest.
I don't understand what you're trying to achieve here, Pokémon games have always only supported one save file. You could use your emulator's save state feature if you'd like but that isn't 'official' and wouldn't necessarily work properly.
Glad to hear you enjoyed it! That is indeed the end of v2.5.
Nice catch! I remember deliberating between the two way back when I first started and I did decide on 'indecipherable', but I must have forgotten to update the guy in the library. Fixed for Beta 3!
Thanks, fixed for Beta 3!
Yeah I had noticed this awkward dialogue myself already, and in Beta 3 it will actually be completely different.
Hm, I'll look into this.
Yeah I'd already had this pointed out thanks, it will also be fixed in Beta 3.
Ah, thanks! Will be fixed for Beta 3.
You're right; I'll look into this for Beta 3.
Nice catch, thanks! Will be fixed for Beta 3.
Ah, I wasn't aware the American spelling was different. You're right that I want to use American English for Gaia, so this has been fixed for Beta 3.
Oh, that area is actually the only place where I'd forgotten about that quirk. It's been fixed for Beta 3, thanks.
My bad! Fixed for Beta 3.
Oh, didn't notice that, thanks! Fixed for Beta 3 but I might end up redoing his dialogue altogether anyway as he's pretty verbose for a random NPC anyway.
Yeah, this is a known bug with the Mega Evolution code and is actually in the README's list. Thanks anyway!
Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed it.
It has been, and will be fixed for Beta 3, thanks.
Thank you!
In the future I'd recommend not trying to exploit bugs in the first place.
Thank you!
As I mentioned earlier in this post, progress has been relatively slow. That being said, I've done a few sprite changes for some Trainer classes and Gym Leaders. Take a look!
