[Released] Pokemon the New Order [BETA V3 RELEASED]

[J. D. Guy]

okayy hoowwww??? xDD I tested it myself and it worked flawlessly, so by curiosity, did you try to move using WSAD or arrow keys? Because I think you might be the only person who thought of doing that and this might just be the cause of your error xD (ALso no, no official name I think, altho who knows maybe we'll get to hear our protag's name sooner or later? It's a fun concept for the future lol)

I used a controller, as it's much simpler and easier to manage for me. For games like this one that doesn't have native controller support, I use program that allows a controller to associate button presses with keyboard key presses.

I didn't try it again just now, but it seems this error happens when trying to access a menu or something while still in the initial starting house. Happened again when I tried just now, but at least I could move around first.

That's surprising that no one but me tried opening the menu as soon as possible before now. (How else are you gonna save the game? Especially before the starter choice.)

Finally, I ask 'cause I like to use the canon names of player characters whenever possible.

---

EDIT: By default, what is the 'F' button assigned to do in your game? That's what cases the crash.

EDIT 2: It seems that the 'F' key is the item shortcut button. Also, you gain menu access right before being able to pick your starter.

where can you get psychic tm? honestly putting the tms available and their location in the docs would be useful

 

[AzuraA]

also. im not sure if this is a secret or a bug, but i found an area that just had encounters with level 5 bulbasaur. didnt see that in the documentation

According to an older post, it seems like a bug. (Maybe due to an undefined encounter table, defaulting to 001, which is Bulbasaur.)

Pe_Zero said they might leave some sort of easter egg Bulbasaur in reference to this.

Hm... Did you download the newest version? In 3.1 it's supposed to have a low-opacity version of the full picture behind it, making it much easier xD

Hey hey! I'm very glad to hear you enjoy the game! I try pouring my heart into it and add some details like the NPCs' humour sometimes xD And thank you for your bullet points! Those are a great help! I'll try to answer some rn:
Nah, you're not missing out on any new info. I'll make a list of TMs and evolutions/changes later on, but as far as tutorial are concerned, the encounter list is the only place to go for info. (it has more than jsut encounters inside)
The Bulbasaur cave was a complete overlook on my side xDD Sorry for that, it's been remedied but I'll add a Bulbasaur catching event for the sake of the laughs because a cave full of only Bulbasaur in a middle of the desert is hilarious xD Other than that, the list's a-okay!
Mhm, I'm trying to make the items you find a bit more diverse, but there can only be so many and some new items should still be found int he lategame, I feel, so I'm trying to balance some thigns out very slightly
Hmm, I'll have to look into the Pokeradar actually, it'd be nic

Yeah I currently don't exactly know what's causing this. I'm trying to find a solution to the problem, albeit it's not yielding many results. I'll keep looking for one, cuz it's really weird, there shouldn't be such a massive lag, imho



I'm terribly sorry, I have absolutely zero idea how this came to be, I didn't touch this part of the story at all, yet here we are xD I've updated the game once again, would you please try it again to see if it works? It works for me, but I wanna make sure everyone can progress

Yoo that's a massive W, I commend your smarts xD

Uhhh did you finish the game while 3.1 or did you update afterward? If the case is the latter, speak to Verlo in the Lab. If the former, I'll have to look into it, that's supposed to be remedied lol

No, it's something else that I cna't exactly put my finger on, I'm afraid.

And as much as I'd wnat to, there are way too many scripts that are simply non-compatible with the newest version of the game and I'm too far into it to change them all up :/ I've changed the speed up button to maximum 3 times instead of 8, which should be much better perfomrnace-wise. Sadly it doesn't speed up your game per-se, instead it just skips every 2-3 frames, so in theory it should be the same, but in practice it can look very confusing.

I think it's lv. 30? I'll have to look into it I don't ahve it with me, I'll edit the message later.

Oh wow, I'm honestly impressed! It's like emulating a windows file xD

Heh I chose Bronzor myself, but many ppl seem to favour Magnemite instead! All of them are good either way hah

Mhmm Staryu would befit the Psychic agenda of Team Cipher alright xD

Sorry, it's a post from way back in 2020, I've changed up my mind since then since it'd allow for a Magnezone a bit too early into the game. Should've made it clear, mb

Huh, the Rock Cave and Dungeon are actually basic essentials locations so I wouldn't call on them, Voltaic Tunnel is the place, tho!

Mhm! Verlo hands it to you after a certain mission

Huh, I never got the hang of it myself, so it's nice to see how it works actually xDD

I updated it yesterday, but didn't have time to reply. Please could you check if it works for you now? It should, but I want to make sure~

I finished the game while in Beta 3.0, so I have gotten the "You will have to wait for the next update" and now I am playing on the 3.1 Beta. I talked to Verlo in the Lab several times but I am still playing double battles with wild pokemon with the executive, and the game still crashes when playing against a trainer which I assume is because the trainer is supposed to play single-battle but my game is trying to play double-battle and therefore it crashes.

 

[AzuraA]

is there any way to gage your friendship/boost it? I want to evolve the riolu but i have no idea how far i have to go

 

[wittkowski_menace]

Outstanding game! A worthy heir to Rocket Edition, even if I can't steal pokemon from children and the elderly. I feel so bad about Skarmory though; I wanna gift Mare a new pokemon, just like, for good luck and to start his healing journey from all that. Maybe Hilda--er, Dimaria, too, once she wakes up. Give them both something to help with type coverage now Takami isn't around for a bit.

Same here. I was so emotional there...
A darling Togepi for the Skarmory and a pleasant Roselia for the girl. ;-)

 

[AzuraA]

just so you know, when i was fighting the neo galactic grunt with the chattot in the old manor. chattot using chatter caused an error dialog box to appear. clicking ok let me continue the fight and it didnt crash. but you may want to look into that.

 

[AzuraA]

Ok, i finally got promoted to admin, and wow what an emotional ride. I did want to make a suggestion tho. After what happened with Mare, I really wanted to give him one of the pokemon I had in my box. I know it wouldnt fix things, but having the option to gift him one after everything that happened, well I think it would be a nice optional character moment. And would be really cool to see the pokemon you gave him used in fights when you team up.

 

[AzuraA]

also, I know you mentioned considering adding a female protag option at some point. but I think you could get a lot of mileage out of just writing the dialog with gender neutral terms. The sprite is already fairly androgynous and it would probably be much easier to implement. just a thought

 

[Zenith Marshadow]

Um. I was trying to debug the game to get Marshadow since I use it in all fangame but whenever I try to do it it always shows :
[Pokemon Essentials version 17.2]

[AltKat]

Downloaded the newest version and tried loading the game and this popped up :/


But I tried again and after my 3rd attempt it finally loaded but it started like this with the white part flashing between green and purple.

But aside from that it moved to the cutscene okay, tho after it changed scene there was then another visual glitch for like a split second where 1/4 of the screen was glitching??

This is my current situation...

 

[PokèHunter1990]

Yo this game is lit, I played right up until the point where I help Lutia with her father and we get celebi and are back at HQ and that's about as far as it goes for me until the next release I guess

 

[Zenith Marshadow]

I grinded for 2 days just to defeat the trainer send by professor in mosswell cave. I defeated him and then pretended to lose. But now the has stucked on the part where other comes with their group.

I'm getting extreme lag. How can I fix this?

 

[J. D. Guy]

I'm getting extreme lag. How can I fix this?

This is just general advice/info from experience playing other Essentials-made Pokemon fangames:

* If you've been playing for a while, cache issues from the game's application could cause lag/slowdown. With this in mind, it tends to be a good idea to save, close, and the restart the game when playing for long play sessions.

* Some larger maps with lots of events tend to cause lag, compared to smaller areas and rooms with fewer events on them. Not much can be done about that on the player's end.

* Playing with your device on high-performance (and/or with the charger plugged in) can help maintain smoothness.

i found not running in fullscreen helps. altho im running mine on linux with steam proton so my game is probably more laggy

You understand my vision.

I was thinking a mimikyu for Mare; I went to a lot of effort to catch it, but it won't fit on my team. I think the shy pokemon would adore him, but it's also not a pokemon to be taken lightly despite its small size and self-consciousness. She's also single-stage evo like Skarmory and—being a ghost—it can't die /again/, presumably. Dimaria though, for coverage sake and out of respect for her toughness—a krokorok, with room to grow into something even bigger and badder, as I expect her to do post-recovery.

Do you have a female Mimikyu? o.O

That are good ideas - but I like Togepi more, because of the happiness this Pokémon presents you.^^ It's like a happy good luck charm and Togekiss is a powerhouse.^^ So he can get a wonderful emotional bond with this Pokémon more - like a recovery. ;-) (And can destroy all other opponents. XD )

And I don't write this, because Togepi is my favourite Pokémon. I really believe, that it would be helpful for him. :-)
