[siervo33]

Could you fix the time error if it is day it appears at night and if it is at night it is day, fix the coach's name that changes when playing by hour

how pokemon rowe companion works

 

[jastolze007]

Could you fix the time error if it is day it appears at night and if it is at night it is day, fix the coach's name that changes when playing by hour

If you're seeing it nighttime during the day, it's because you laid in the NPC's bed and it moved the game ahead 12 hours for different encounters. Lay in it again to set it back.

[Marky Vigoroth]

🎖 Semper Fidelis.
The new types tha trigger Justified are themselves justified while giving Justified more justification because of its increased use.
I also am impressed by how hard you work in putting cries into the game.

 

[kamalalshair]

Is there a possibility that we can get a custom Retroarch mGBA core as well for the actual pokemon cries?

 

[jastolze007]

Is there a possibility that we can get a custom Retroarch mGBA core as well for the actual pokemon cries?

Someone would need to compile a custom core specifically for Retroarch.

If someone wants to make a port that allows for the custom cries, they can post it here or on the Discord and we'll test it. Riolu already has his hands full with being the sole developer of ROWE and managing at least one other project.

Hello guys,
I can't seem to find the damn 'relic cave'...
Does anybody know where it is?
Thanks in advance!

 

[jastolze007]

Hello guys,
I can't seem to find the damn 'relic cave'...
Does anybody know where it is?
Thanks in advance!

It might be the cave found in the Desert. It's wherever Hippopotas is found.

 

[xLS45x]

It might be the cave found in the Desert. It's wherever Hippopotas is found.

Thanks for the tip.
I thought I had already searched the 'Desert Underpass'. But it seems that I didn't.
It is still quite confusing trying to find some of the Pokemon due to a couple of wrong locations in the Pokedex and documentation.
But I am nearly done catching them all. Except Raikou...

 

[rioluwott]

Hello everyone, today I want to release a new update focused on reworking the STAB boost and adding a lot of new signature moves and 4 new game modes
Changelog 1.9.4

Spoiler:

-Changed how STAB works, now it will give a 1.25 boost to each move if the Pokémon is a dual typed mon and 1.5 if it's a single type
-Added a move boost that makes move more powerful depending on how many mons you have of the same type in the attacker party, like if you have 3 Pokémon(excluding the mon that uses the move) that are ghost type and your mon uses a shadow ball for example it will get between a 1.3 boost or 1.6 depending on if the other mons are single typed or dual typed
-Added a move boost that makes move less powerful depending on how many mons you have of the same type in the target party, like if you have 3 Pokémon(excluding the mon that receives the move) that are Rock-type and the attacker uses a Stone Edge for example the move will become around between 85% and 70% less powerful depending on the number of types each mon has
-Added a move that disables these changes
-Added a Random Type Mode where every Pokemon changes it's type to a random one based on it's personality so there can be a bulbasaur that it's a Fire type and another that it's Fire type
-Added a Random Ability Mode, it gives every Pokemon a random ability that changes depending on the Pokemon personality
-Added a Random Third Type Mode, it gives every Pokemon a random third type while mantaining the first 2 types intact

[Pokémaniac51]

Where do you find Galarian Ponyta,Alolan Vulpix,Froakie and Rookidee?

 

[HosawaSume]

The Fire Red map will be added to the game soon. If you just let players freely go through the Fire Red map, it will be very normal and quickly boring.
At that point, most maxed players will breeze through the gym. So why don't we add some mechanics to make it more interesting.
Inspired by the anime series. We will limit player pokemon when entering new lands:

+ Will be able to choose the starting land
+ Will be able to go to the new land after defeating Eliter 4
+ You can only bring 1 pokemon when going to a new land (all remaining pokemon must be stored in the PC)
+ Pokemon carried will have their Lv and EV reset
+ The level of the new land will be calculated according to that region's badge
+ The new land will use a different PC Box than the old land
+ PC Box of 2 regions will be connected after defeating Eliter 4 of both regions
+ Will not be able to return to the old land unless Eliter 4 is defeated
+ There will be pokemon that can only be caught in each land

I don't know how feasible this is. But it would be interesting if the game had those mechanisms

 

[Pokémaniac51]

I'm in Petalburg Woods and I keep checking the Dexnav but Galarian Ponyta doesn't show on the hidden list,I've checked every nook and cranny in there but still no Galarian Ponyta. Help please

 

[HosawaSume]

I'm in Petalburg Woods and I keep checking the Dexnav but Galarian Ponyta doesn't show on the hidden list,I've checked every nook and cranny in there but still no Galarian Ponyta. Help please

It seems Documentation has not been updated
Look in Berry Forest in Three Islands

 

[HenryckHTG]

If only there was a gen 3 version ._. I think i will wait a crystal clear like in hoenn for another eternity

 

[jastolze007]

If only there was a gen 3 version ._. I think i will wait a crystal clear like in hoenn for another eternity

The Pokemon are from all gens, but you can do no physical special split and other gen 3 features when starting a save.

Otherwise, maybe continue waiting that eternity for a Hoenn based open world game.
