    [PokeCommunity.com] Legends of Aurora (v1.0.8)

    Legends of Aurora
    Made with Pokémon Essentials v20.1





    Introduction:
    Howdy! My name's Midnight. This is a project I've been working on for years at this point. Some of you might remember an older version of this game I posted a few years ago. That game, while very ambitious considering my skillset at the time, wasn't very good. It was buggy, maps and environments were open but barren, and the story didn't have a consistent throughline. In the years since, I've become infinitely better at using RPG Maker and Essentials and well as grown more accustomed to writing stories, so I decided to bring Legends of Aurora back and give it the treatment it always deserved. I hope you enjoy!

    Project Description:
    Legends of Aurora celebrates the Pokémon series' past while working toward a brighter future. Countless callbacks and references from the franchise's history enrich the new Region and setting with familiarity. At the same time, it emphasizes the core strengths of the Pokémon formula, such as exploration and world-building, and explores a more complex narrative focused on how the past affects people and the many ways people can change.

    Plot Synopsis:
    Legends of Aurora follows the journey of a young Trainer traveling through the recently settled Aurora Region. You will take on the role of either Ayden or Ava. Our protagonist originally had plans to work with their local Pokémon Professor, but instead joins a "super league", where the best Pokémon Trainers in the world are invited to participate. During their travels, our hero will discover the wrongdoings of Team Ace, who are reviving Shadow Pokemon. An encounter with a special experimental Riolu leads you to work together to stop Team Ace's schemes.

    Unique Features:

    • A curated Regional Pokédex
    • The return of Shadow Pokémon
    • Several Quality of Life Features (Quicksave, multiple save slots, move relearning and nicknaming from the menu, etc.)
    • A Hard Mode featuring revamped boss fights
    • HMs are removed in favor of the HM Catalogue, a Key Item to aid in any progression needs
    • A Quest Log to keep track of the main story and side activities
    • Mid-battle dialogue to enhance battles
    • Cinematic and expansive cutscenes

    A pokemon using Feint causes this bug, which results in Feint being used repeatedly until there is no target.
    Really liking the dialogue and worldbuilding in the first town though.
     
    A word about v1.0.1 and 1.0.2 save files. Due to an oversight, save files from v1.0.0 would not transfer to v1.0.1.

    In fixing this, v1.0.1 save file won't transfer to v1.0.2. Fortunately, there is a solution for this, albeit a roundabout one. Locate the save folder in Users[username]\AppData\Roaming\Legends of Aurora REDUX and rename the folder to "Legends of Aurora".

    I sincerely apologize for any lost progress. This is my bad and I've taken steps to ensure this won't happen again.
     
    can you please tell me how do i get pass the Pokemon without begin spot i have it on slow setting and doesn't help and my Pokemon are not at the other Pokemon level is their a cap that Pokemon doesn't obey you thanks
    If you're stuck where I think you are, be patient, watch the Pokemon, and you'll make it through the puzzle with little issues. If you're still having some issues, do some light training on the wild Pokemon nearby. You got this!
     
    While we're working on what's to come, the team and I wanted to get some more detailed feedback from you all. So, we made a survey! Please only fill this out if you have completed the Legends of Aurora demo.
