[Developing] Pokemon: Everlasting Orchard (Dating/Farming sim Pokemon game)

[Callmefreak]

just downloaded the game and it keeps telling me the fonts aren't installed even though they are...

They're not. That's something that I have to do manually and I never bothered since it doesn't matter to me. (I never really think about it, actually.)

when i start the game i get this error [Pokémon Essentials version 17.2] Exception: MemoryError Message: failed to allocate memory FileTests:660:in `oldload' FileTests:660:in `load' Intl Messages:112:in `load_data' Intl Messages:112:in `cbSe Text Messages' Intl Messages:105:in `each' Intl Messages:105:in `pb SetText Messages' Compiler:4425:in `pb Compile AllData' Compiler:4515 This exception was logged in C:\Users\Administrator\Saved Games\Pokemon Everlasting Orchard\errorlog.txt. Press Ctrl+C to copy this message to the clipboard. --------------------------- OK ---------------------------

That's the message that I get whenever I try to debug the game but the game is too big. (The game is too big, despite me having room on my laptop. I don't get it.) I'm not sure why you would be getting that message though.

I got a new computer so the previous issues I had before should (hopefully) be fine now. I havent tested it yet (though I plan to after this comment), but I wanted to ask if theres a way to speed up the game? Just because I think I've done everything up to that big city (that I had trouble getting to before) like 5 times now and I have not been looking forward to doing it a sixth (I'm just impatient lol). Totally fine if not (I've heard there's been issues because of the games size, so extra features probably wouldn't help). Just wanted to ask if there was one already toggleable in the game that I couldn't find before.

I added something that will allow you to skip through the introductions since I was getting kinda annoyed by them myself. I didn't do anything with any of the other cutscenes though- just the intro to the game and the intro to the characters. (Aside from Pierce.)

I uploaded a new version a couple weeks ago, but I wasn't feeling up to saying anything about it then.

Is since there 8 gym leader in the game is that mean there also other town and city. Still not play because of my depression kick in i fear if i play now i can't enjoy it

Well, seasons, I think, are working, but can't return to farm. Flying in goes to pure black screen walking down from Pomona ends up with freezing( see attached photo).

I'm not so sure what you're asking. If you're asking if there's more than nine towns, there are. But there's not a whole lot of towns that doesn't have a gym in it.

Either way, take your time. If you never play this game that's totally fine. Focus on yourself first. Some of the topics surrounding the candidates can get a bit heavy.

I'm not sure why that is. The screenshot doesn't show anything.
I did something that might help, but it's really hard to tell what the problem is just from this. I have another idea but I'm not going to do that yet until I know for sure that my guess was the solution.

 

[WildShiro]

Yeah, I figured it would be harder since there wasn't an error message that popped up. Tried the new version and it wouldn't even load in Pomona Town, an error message did appear saying the map was corrupt (1st image) was going to start a new game, but ow it pops up with us as Tsubasa, gives us a lvl 100 butterfree and Tauros, the Tauros horn and zapper. There's a npc that gives a starter ball but other than walking around a square of green we can't do anything.

OH NOOOO! I forgot to switch the intros again!
I'll be uploading a new one with the CORRECT intro this time!
I think I forgot to update the original post on this website anyway, so I guess it works out.

As far as the corrupted map goes, I have no idea what that's about. I'm assuming that that's the farm in autumn, but it works just fine for me. I'm almost suspecting that I uploaded the wrong version by accident. (Though I did very much still forget to switch the intros.)

Can't load game, instantly gets the attached error box.

Download this and follow the instructions. Otherwise you'll just have to wait for the next update.

Firstly, I love the game, honestly I'm surprised that this general concept hasn't been explored before (to my knowledge). The mixing of elements from Stardew Valley and Pokemon is absolutely wonderful and a perfect match.

Secondly, I found some bugs... I think...
-The pink (cherry blossom?) trees are 1 tile taller than the green trees, which makes navigation awkward and causes you to be unable to leave the farm using the west loading zone
-When I went to explore north of the town I got stuck trying to leave, it seem you get placed on the wrong side of the loading zone.
-I tried going towards Nox Town and once went to the upper door for the building north of Silvanus Woods the music would change then all of the sudden I would reappear just on the other side of the western farm loading zone.

All of which occurred with a brand new save that has interacted with the dresser and successfully changed clothes.

Haven't found anything else yet, and once again, Love the game. Keep up the good work.

You are absolutely right on all of those things. I uploaded a new version a couple days ago that hopefully fixes those problems.
Thank you!

Followed instructions but that wasn't the problem and the new version didn't fix it either.

Started the game last night, and a couple things. First, planting berries always says that they arent in season but if they are actually in season it will say it a second time but still plant them *most* of the time anyway. Second, when I head left of the farm to enter the forest, im just blocked in and cant move up left or down because im "walking into something" so my only option is to go back into the farm area. (this got fixed when the game fixed itself somehow) Lastly, on day three theres the evernt thing going on and whenever i try to go towards the town, instead of going into the town, I teleport to in front of nurse joy at the pokemon league. I tried wiping and it teleported me back to the towns pokemon center and the first time it showed me a mostly off-screen cutscene (camera was focused on bottom of town where player walks in from) of esmaraldas mom (dont know if that was the intended scene or not) and then that scene got to the point where esmaralda told her sister and sisters friend to go get their teacher and then the dialogue went away but the camera didnt move and my character coundnt move and i couldnt do anything else, after restarting the game and retrying a couple of times, it continued to teleport me to the league and wiping makes me go back to the town but upon leaving the pokemon center, ill teleport to the bottom of the town for a split second before teleporting back to the league. ive tried numerous ways to get around it, dping things before sleeping on day 2, doing things before going towards town on day 3, redownloading, re extracting, trying a new game, and i cant go the forest route and try to see if it works because left of the farm is blocked off. so i havent even been able to get onto day 3
Edit: also get teleported to the league on the luvdisc day
Edit2: Started a new game to see if it fixed the events issue and now im encountering level 50+ pokemon inside the town so i have no idea what happening

 

[Logononononononononono...]

It's very possible something is just wrong with the files where saves and stuff go (I'm not sure where that stuff gets backed up). But on the latest update (7/31/24) the place I got stuck at last time changed but it's still not fixed. I'm not really sure what else to do here sadly. If you know where backup stuff gets saved I might be able to dig around and see if there's any corrupted files bugging stuff. If not ill just keep bashing my head against the wall until something works lol.

Ive been playing the game for a while after just skipping day 3 and this is also happening to me but considering it wasnt able to be fixed before, idfk
Edit: Randomly fixed itself ????? i got around it before by getting teleported to the league and i just did everything backwards but i did the ghost gym before pierce started following me so if i trigger that event he doesnt ever stop following me (game breaks when you go in the wrong order, who wouldve thought?) but at least its working now. also noticed that before when i changed areas it had to load but now its seamless so thats cool

Installed today and playing for the first time. Playing as a girl.

Planting in-season berries always displays "It's out of season. Planting now won't do anything." twice before planting the berry anyway. Spot #2 in the bottom-left plot will not let me plant anything at all. [Pictured: trying to plant an Oran berry.]


Anytime the game force closes / crashes, some sprites don't display correctly: all talking portraits do not load, the player HP bar is cut in half, and a few other things. This graphical issues remains regardless of how I exit the game the next time, or if I start a new game from the game menu. I am only able to reset the graphical issues by manually deleting my Game.rxdata file.
If the game never crashes and I always quit through the game menu, though, the graphics work as expected.


I am also having the Day 3 / Flower Festival issue of teleporting to the Elite 4 when leaving the farm to the north. Going to the beach loads as normal, and there is an invisible wall preventing movement once in the woods to the west.


Super looking forward to playing more, thank you for making this!

that hp bar thing only happens with the large and fullscreen options, changing it and changing it back fixes it

I am unfortunately getting the exact same odd mapping error, I saw a mention of "teleporting tiles" but I'm unsure if they are in the most recent version (from May 3rd, 2025) nor where they are located. I also experienced another issue where while doing the 3rd gym I left after collecting two keys to heal up my Pokémon then when I came back grabbed the third key but the game was telling me that I need 3 keys for the door. I tried speaking to the gym hint guy, didn't get any keys back, I tried going back to each trainer and mound of dirt/sand with no luck... as far as I'm aware I am now unable to face the 3rd gym leader due to that.

I also encountered what I'm assuming to be a debug IV/EV training area (see attached) that when trying to leave the cave places you inside a wall in some cave (I think its the Vittoria Strada cave), thankfully I didn't get soft locked thanks to a Combee I had in my party with sweet scent allowing myself to black from losing all my Pokémon.

 

[Callmefreak]

I tried fixing every oversight (that's putting it generously- everything I fixed I only had to fix because I forgot to do those things in the first place) but I probably didn't understand some of them since I couldn't see a problem on my end.
You can see the list of what I did fix underneath the "oversight fixes." My head hurts too much to address them one-by-one right now.

My apologies, I don't want you to feel discouraged. What you are making is wonderful and a lot of work. I'm more than happy waiting for any fixes or help to occur. I'll enjoy it either way :)

In the case of looking under the "Oversight fixes" and I couldn't find anything of relation to what I have been experiencing, but I may just be blind 🤷‍♂️

Restarted again, so I'm no longer getting the error message, might have to re-extract since there is no audio though. Meeting Alan and Esmerelda happened back to back with Rebecca's introduction after leaving the lab. I did notice the game sprites look nicer though.
