Okay so first of all, great game I'm really enjoying it despite the (so far very minor) bugs (that are easily avoidable if I saved more.)

However, I seem to be having either a misunderstanding or a bug. I got the mutagen and chose to Mutate my Rattata, fine and all. But according to the skill tracker it should have learned confusion, and had it learned, but It doesn't show up in its skill set at all? Not just in battle but even in the skill list. I'm hoping I'm just missing something, but I figured it doesn't hurt to mention it?

Still though, great concept, great execution, great writing. all that great stuff really immersive. So yeah, great and fun game.

Progress: All the portraits are done now (finally!!) and I'm now adjusting all of the Spliced stats and move lists. I'm about... half done with that.
Still need to do the character sprites and all the coding/eventing for mutating/evolving.

I went and tested this out, and yeah Rattata is supposed to know Confusion when it mutates! For some reason, it isn't learning it (although mine did learn Psychic). I'll need to go back into the event and force add that skill so it knows it, maybe for all the other mutateable Pokemon too.
Thanks for letting me know this!

Nice to know it's not just on my end. Thank you for looking into it!

My Raticate doesn't have Confusion either. I mutated it after Rattata evolved. I didn't really mind that it doesn't know Confusion, because its Psychic is really weak due its low sp. attack. At least, these mutations look really great.

So far, I'm enjoying it! I'm a sentimental version or sensitive, when the main player is having doubts and isn't too gung-ho over becoming a Pokemon Champion and expressed it to Mom and Prof. Oak. Made me sad. And the Silp Co. interaction with the Rival. The end where I chose "Next Time?", it broke my heart? I wonder if Rival will break their sad rocket funk.

Torn between being Rocket who'd embrace their cruelness in the end or being Rocket that just wants to get out of the situation but can't find an escape and tries to be good through it all. Bad Rocket vs Good Rocket?

I want to do both, haha.

I'm liking the system, it's a bit harder at first but I'm getting into it. I'm so excited for this game to be complete! Though we have a long way to go for that, I'm always willing to wait! I've always wanted to try being a "bad guy" in the Pokemon Games. It seems fun until I get torn choosing doing good or doing bad.

P.S I'm having trouble with Saffron takeover, where you get to fight the Fanclub. I've done all the quests, I took over Pokemart, I helped with the Rocket Girl Salon, done with Pippi and the Grunt and yet my points aren't full. Is it because I've done the Copycat Revenge earlier? Or is it because I shouldn't have chose "Steal Pokemon" after the battling the girl in the Pokemart? Should it because I shouldn't have helped Pippi? Need help, I'm not sure where I went wrong.

And also, I can't find Markavera (did I spell it right?) even though I recruited her? Granted I haven't seen the second next choice since I clicked to fast but I seem to have recruited her and yet I can't find her everywhere.

Progress: Gonna try and finish up the sprites and then update in about 24 hours. I definitely won't have the system for mutating and evolving done yet, but I can patch that in later.
19 more sprites to do.

Stuck in Fuchsia City. I went into the house on the right, you probably forgot to put a way in to house again. https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B3lDZcLtidhhaFh5Qlc2RjVKZGs/view?usp=sharing. Please help

Oh, the "backyard" area. You're right, I forgot to put a way back in.
Give me like... 24 hours, and I'll push out an update that will fix that.

I did really love writing the Pallet Town stuff with Mom and Prof. Oak. And everything with Rival.
I have a love for the drama zone, so all of those "doubt and sadness" kind of moments are things that I live for and want to write more and more of.
There's also another Rival moment in the Cinnabar mansion basement after you first rescue Idris.

I've definitely tried to include "cruel" and "kinder" options throughout the game, like how you respond to Rival, whether or not you hurt Pippi, and some of the recruitables or sidequests.
Personally, I way prefer playing a more Good Rocket character, but that's because I just don't like being mean, haha.

So, the Copycat Revenge is part of the takeover, but if you did it earlier then talk to the Rocket guy near her house anyway.
He should talk to himself about "who he can beat up next" and you'll get the point that you may have missed.

If you recruited Markeva she should be hanging out in the Casino right between the poster and the counter.

Update 0.5! ​
https://www.mediafire.com/?dp9pso12aadhpp2

Now including a wider selection of TM's for teaching your Pokemon moves, animations for practically all of those moves, an optional Gym Leader fight in Fuchsia, new Recruitable people, and a promotion to Lieutenant!
And a new Title screen. I wanted something with the Game's name on it, I'll see how it feels as time goes on.

Note: Pewter city and the area around it has a high potential for game breaking bugs, please let me know if you find anything and I will fix it immediately.

Full log below.
Spoiler:


Normally I would take a break after updating but. I'm very excited for the Idris event that I couldn't finish for this update, and to get Evolution and Mutation working properly in the game.
And also expecting bugs to crop up from this update.
I'm hoping all goes smoothly, but expect a patch soon either way.

After all the mutation stuff I should also maybe tackle the Daycare. But I need to somehow narrow 5040 potential list combinations of him asking for your Pokemon into something uh. Slightly more manageable.

I have a bug. I challenged the dojo in Saffron. After beating the 1st guy, the game freezes every time.

I've talked to him, many times. Still having the same problem: no point. :/ And the new update still has me stuck in Saffron. I can't move on the next checkpoint. D:


I suppose I chose wrong in the second choice. I clicked too fast. But she thanked me? I'll check a playthrough for the choices haha.

I can double up on this one.

I encountered an annoying instance myself. Forced me to reset and lose a lot of progress. The blonde woman in silph co that you steal wartortle from, and she gives you a number for the password stands in the way and just sits there when you beat her. I just can't go out. I'll try again and see if it happens everytime or just bad luck on my part.

The Cinnabar island sponsor event loops a lot. You can fight him forever, the quest still can be finished though.

*EDIT* I went back and beat her. This time she wanders around but didn't block my path.

Also, the ONIX's sprite is extremely messed up. Looks like very low quality pixels from an NES game xD.

*EDIT2* I made my way to Bill, or his house anyway, but the ground in front of it seems to be on a higher place. I can't stand on it from any part and as such, I can't get inside the house. Not sure if intended or not though

*EDIT3* So I went back to ghost tower with the cubones, and "Gary"'s event starts up. It didn't happen during the cubone quest, which led me to believe that you changed it, but it happened now and he acts like it is the first time. (I could lie to him about the outfit and all)
The fog never disappears wherever you go, although I found out that you can get rid of it by pressing the shift button.

I don't got anything meaningful to say, but thank you for the update to this great amazing game! It's really good, and fun, and awesome. So thank you for putting so much effort into it, especially so considering this is probably just on your free time, it's really good.

Is there any way to run from Wild Pokemon battles, such as in the Power Plant for Maxx's mission? It's really annoying to have to constantly fight off wilds and waste MP when I'm trying to figure out how to get to where I need to go.

Patch for Version .5 . http://www.mediafire.com/file/ux1w3cbmspnbnnz/RocketRising_ver5patch.rar
Dojo fixes
Saffron Takeover Fixes
Funding Guy fixes
Tara Markeva addition
A few small dialogue things
All evolution is coded into the game now. Next up is Mutation stuff.

The next few days are going to be busy for me, but I will try and respond and fix stuff when I can!

Fixed all of this, Dojo should work fine in the patch.

Okay, so there's the Funding guy in the house on the west side of town, normally used for the Cinnabar NurseJoy sidequest. If you haven't done the quest before, talking to Nurse Joy in Cinnabar will eventually lead you to this guy in Saffron, and the patch will now give you an extra Takeover point at the same time.
Even if you have already done that sidequest, you should have a hidden variable from the Lab that will make him give you a Takeover point anyway.

And if that doesn't work I'm sure I can find somewhere else to slip a point that doesn't depend on anything you've done previously.

For Markeva, if you chose the option where you refuse to let her join Team Rocket she'll vanish. But now, once you become a Lieutenant, she should return and you'll have the option to recruit her again.

Shifted the blonde woman so she will randomly wander and not follow a set path that could block people.
I will... get to Onyx later. But yes, he isn't very pretty.
Added a self switch into the Cinnabar Island guy so that you can't just battle him perpetually.
Fixed the tileset so that the tiles in front of Bill's house are passable. (Although there's nothing in Bill's house just yet)
Made sure that Gary's event in Lavender won't start for anyone above a certain amount of checkpoints
And taking stairs downstairs in Poke Tower should erase fog now
Whew. Thanks!

That's great to say! It's really encouraging when people pop in to tell me that they like what I'm doing.
So thank you! I'm really glad you're enjoying what I make.

Yes, you can usually run by pressing the "back" or "cancel" button when a fight starts, it should then show Fight or Run. You'll take damage while in that uh, menu though.
