Far away, deep within.

River's source and lordly end

Thanks for the updates! Is there some glitch when entering Seafoam islands? When I go in, I end up in Ecruteak cave near Mahogany town.
Or is that some kind of intentional puzzle ??

Hi I noticed a glitch/bug. When I evolved Metagross into Dark variant:

1. Its sprite is not visible on pokemon list screen
2. When Dark metagross is sent into battle, its sprite is floating in the air at a very unusual position.

I am attaching screenshots (Optimus = Metagross), maybe you can fix this is the next update. Thanks!

Thanks for reporting these - if you're download patch 2.0.6 I have fixed the Seafoam Islands entrance.

I will get the Metagross bits fixed in the next update. Might be a few days until I can get a new patch out though!

Hey just came to report a similar issue with dark Milotic - the menu icon is also a question mark. You might have to check each of these dark types whether they are implemented properly. Thankfully I saved before experimenting with the candies, will wait for an update.

Also I just wanna compliment you for creating a carefully crafted masterpiece - one of my favourite english speaking fangames. Played the Kanto part last year and now I replayed from scratch to experience Johto as well, still in Kanto though. Story is intriguing but not over-the-top dark edgy and complicated. The right amount of a mix between what you'd expect in a vanilla story + some lore expansions and more fleshed out details in dialogue. The mapping is wonderful and charming, the core of each city and route is alive, but you repainted them in amazing ways, sometimes revamping them heavily or just adding some vegetation or a tree - sometimes even just that one big tree placed at the right spot can do wonders as weird as it sounds. Difficulty and the shuffled progression throughout the region kept me on my toes - and it was done very well so far. Secrets, side quests, boss Pokemon and the general encounter variety are top-notch and elevate an already polished story. Having a Mismagius, Milotic and Flygon is something I wouldn't have expected in Kanto. But its all well-thought-out and encounters are not just randomly distributed to have a big Pokedex and mons from all gens for the sake of having them. So to anyone still considering to play this - its not just a story game about Giovanni, no, its a fleshed out Pokemon experience with lots of side content thats implemented in the right way without clashing with the core or oversaturating the map. It just feels like vanilla gen3 Pokemon taken to the next level.

I would be ecstatic to see the Hoenn region in your style. There's lots of prequel potential too with Maxie, Archie, Zinnia or Steven and the Devon Corp if you'll stil have the passion, motivation and time to do these criminal sheananigans. Just food for thought. Thank you for this experience!

Anyway I can play this on my phone?

I'm not sure about iOS, but if you're on Android, you can play using Joiplay, but you can't use the version from the Google Play Store as it doesn't support what's needed for Pokémon Essentials/RPG Maker XP games. There's a thread here that has some info on playing RPG Maker games using Joiplay, I recommend reading the whole thing as it should solve most things you might have an issue with while trying to play:

[Other Tutorial] - Playing Essentials games on Android using Joiplay

Edit: Newer Joiplay open games on zip/rar files. Removed this part. Edit 2: Newer Joiplay partially solves the Zlib::StreamError. What is Joiplay Joiplay is an emulator-like (but technically not an emulator) for Android that runs games made on different platforms like Ren'Py...

Hi, seems like a great game and I can't wait to try it but - what are the controls? Can one change them? With arrow keys and enter for A it seem kind of uncomfortable to play...

Controls shouldn't be much different from most other recent Essentials games, but you can press F1 to see the bindings and re-bind them if needed.

Hello, creator! Do you mind if I translate your game into Chinese? I like this game very much, and Chinese players will also like it.

Please help I think I'm softlocked. I'm at the point of the story after harassing Kurt for his masterball plans and Giovanni just told me to return to Kanto but I can't since I don't have fly and the Olivine sailor keeps telling me to enjoy my stay in Olivine. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks for reporting this - I have fixed this in the 2.0.7 patch I just released.

As you cannot access the fix, I have added a special fix for you. When you update to v2.0.7, speak to the little boy in Olivine City, and he will give you ability to Fly / Fast Travel.

A translation would be awesome, go ahead :)

 

[spacefarmer]

Can you hint me how to evolve Sneasel?
Origins game guide states I need NightHoldItem,RAZORCLAW, there is no night in the game and Razor Claw should be held as an item by JANGMOO but that can't be encountered?

Great game so far, really enjoying it! I love the exp curve, I don't feel overwhelmed while it is still challenging! Keep up the great work!

 

[floodryan123]

seams cool. Would you be willing to give me the pbs files to allow debug mode and or trainer planning? It would be really helpful thanks.

Is there any plan for big post game content update?. also if there future update i hope the bag menu will change into backpack because it's weird to open item and it picture of leaf sling bag instead of backpack i know it's small stuff but i think it will be more immersive if you do that. Other than that i hope you're stay healthy.
