About This Club

The Club where all future information and releases of Desolation can be found!
  1. What's new in this club
  2. Just imagine what a 3DS remake of Pokémon Desolation would be like Proposed title: Pokémon Deep Desolation
  3. I'm running the game in Joiplay (and no, I have no other way to do it) and the puzzle is broken for me
  4. What a fun idea to incorporate Deso’s ost into the campaigns! Your DND sessions definitely have some good jams. Regarding the particular track, I went back to v4 and found this labeled as Lilith…is this the piece you’re looking for? https://www.mediafire.com/file/o8ahpbauzg4ma8r/Feeling+-+Lilith.mp3/file
  5. No need to apologize, it’s completely understandable given all you’re going through! My heart goes out to you. Take as much time as you need to heal and get things sorted, should you require more time. The forum will always be here. Absolutely, there’s always the chance they could cook up something like that. I whole-heartedly believe they will do a wonderful job going forward. Episode 7 will be a grand time, no doubt about it! True, true. The major decisions might be the major splits and we’ll see more of their repercussions and whatnot soon enough. I’m certainly looking forward to Scarlett’s contributions in the canyon. She deserves some time to shine. It’s also possible we may get another high-stakes choice later now that we have a few other sources of insight as well as the entity skulking about. Given the events of v6 I can see it being something revolving around helping Team Crescent, something to do with the entity, or depending on how things go down saving or condemning the twins similarly to Nova. That’d be unfortunate for her if that was the stipulation. I can only imagine what’d be like to track one of them down every time a shanking is needed. Yikes xD. I do hope it is explored more later on, or at the very least a tad more. Or just a tiny bread crumb more. It’s always been peculiar that she could seemingly sap Aurora’s powers from her. In the current chapter we see it’s not a permanent thing and Aurora can regain them now that Darkrai is in Ayrith. What a rap sheet it will be. If Waldenhall doesn’t turn to dust by the end of this, I wouldn’t be surprised if he gets an earful from Reeve. I am glad to report my brain is intact and functioning optimally….I think. There mayyy be a slight possibility that I suffered a minor Jarredsplosion. Might explain why I’m seeing the majestic Jarred in my dreams XD. The Dating Sim is a pretty fun time imo. It’s short and sweet, and definitely had me chuckling on multiple occasions. Especially the secret ending lol. Now we need a Chef Quackington Cooking Sim. Or…what about a Chef Quackington Dating Sim à la Hatoful Boyfriend? I’ll see myself out now. That does sound rather accurate. Good thing he isn’t the one captaining the yacht xD. Worth reading every word just to see the bickering. Seriously though them agreeing on something is a rather terrifying prospect. Terrifying but highly efficient. If they were in agreement more often than not I’m sure Ayrithian history would be well known in no time. He really is reaching The Stig levels of mysteriousness; he’ll end up a walking enigma in no time. Next version he’ll just appear with a black racing suit and helmet. Maybe the only ones who could rival his mysteriousness are Nova and the entity themselves lol. Also totally headcanoned, with his penchant for frightening Champions and Champions-to-be it makes total sense. Wonder how many baby Slowpokes it must have taken for those powers to develop? Also, glad he has a refined taste for fruit! Omg it’d be grand if Atlas does walk around in full regalia and Azura calls him a freak for it yet Azura herself uses Icy Wind and ends up getting soaked every time. Even she has quirks. I’m sure she can use the rain to increase her image as a beauty icon. After all, rain photography is reflective, dramatic, and quite pretty. Damien is totally the normal one of the trio. Nothing beats a good ol’ air-conditioned room! Attempted-Darkrai wrangler, love it. Now I’m imaging the group of protagonists donning cowboy hats and lassos, ready to do some Darkrai-wrangling. With skills like those you’ll be fit for any position, especially if you’re mediating a bunch of arguing gym leaders! Definitely, we can add Perfection, Darkrai, and Cresselia (I’m keeping my fingers crossed for Cresselia’s significance) to that list as well. This kinda pertains to Perfection but I wouldn’t be surprised if he was fishing for information on Waldenhall too.
  6. Hi All, A bit of a weird ask! I've been following Desolation for years (love it!), and am also an avid DND player that enjoys using bits and pieces of the OST in my campaign. I'm looking specifically for what I believe was the theme marked for Lilith back before we can fight her- I think it was in whatever version the game was in around 2016 or so? (wow!) It had some touhou vibes to it, and I think had some piano/violin in it. (Similar vibes to Aurora's old theme as well, I think) It's been stuck in my head all of these years later but can't find it, and I notice it isn't in the game anymore: does anybody know where I might be able to find it? Thanks so much, and sorry if this is in the wrong place to post!
  7. I am so sorry for how long this took. It's been really hectic around here, and there was a death in my family recently, so a lot of things got sidelined and I'm trying to get back on top of things. It's been a lot. I mean, with these devs, never say never, lmao. And since we recently got confirmation that they're keeping on even without Doctor Caz at the helm, I think we're in for a fun ride no matter what happens. See, it's entirely possible that we've already had the major split- either with the 'side with Nova or Shiv' decision or the 'save Scarlett/let Scarlett die' decision. I know the repercussions from both haven't been enormously significant so far (aside from the obvious, in the latter's case), but they might come back to haunt us soon. Or things might get rewritten here and there to make them more significant. Yeah, I think the insinuation was that Aurora's regaining what Nova took from her? Or maybe Nova just has to keep shanking a twin for power every so often. Canon will probably clarify that for us eventually. We'll add 'desecrating historical sites' to Waldenhall's rap sheet. I'm sure Reeve would be horrified if he knew. I hope your brain didn't get Jarredsploded. The prospect is terrifying. Or Garret decided to take a short cut and it turns out the short cut didn't exist and whoops, we've crashed into Arcanius. Half of it is Darkrai saying things along the line of 'I'm an eternal being, I was actually alive at that time, don't question me' and Aurora saying 'You're a stagnant, unchanging being, let someone whose brain can actually withstand the idea of a new concept do the commenting'. The terrifying bits are when they actually agree. Shiv's going to turn into The Stig at this rate. Some say he only ever eats mangos, and he developed the ability to teleport by frightening baby Slowpoke. But all we know is... he's called Shiv. (In all seriousness, yes, I'm sure canon will tell us in time.) Atlas has his Fire Pokemon on hand to keep him from melting. Azura has a mon for using Icy Wind on her, though it often melts and she winds up getting rained on. Damien just stays inside with the air-con on, like a normal person. Grave-bothering, assistant dimensional researcher, unofficial member of the local law and order, attempted Darkrai-wrangler, and person who has to deal with the Gym Leaders when they're all arguing. Yeah, Perfection, Nova or Darkrai would be my guess. Maybe Cresselia, if we're right about her being significant.
  8. Hi, I'm pretty sure I finished EP. 5 and I saved in the Celia Manor bedroom, but when I try to launch the game in the EP. 6 folder, it pops up with an error message saying my save is corrupted. I also ran the updater to get the patch beforehand. errorlog.txt Game.rxdata
  9. Literally all you need to do is create a shortcut of your Pokemon Desolation, then go into properties, and change the path so after the closing parenthesis, you have the word debug. "C:\PATH\Game.exe" debug
  10. I believe the player won’t receive gothita from Nova if they have not obtained a certain number of positive reputation points with her. As of this version I haven’t seen any other consequences for lacking/having negative reputation points with Nova…there may be more consequences related to it in the future, we’ll have to wait and see.
  11. Im over at the ice area after gym two and after I split with the Normal guy my encounters stopped appearing. I set it between 100 and 9999 and nothings happening. Heres my save file if I could get some help, im enjoying the game so far. I posted this on the Reborn page as well by mistake Game.rxdata
  12. i want to ask a question about Nova, if you decided to not give trust to her after the confrontation with Darkrai, the only negative effect after you fight the eighth gym leader is not receiving gothita or there's others consequences planned for the future?
  13. Persian for me. I happened to pick a meowth up in Keneph Caves since it was shiny and miraculously Connor didn’t reduce it to cave dust. I ended up really liking the Siamese coloring and it had technician, so it ended up a staple on my team. Surprisingly it carried me through some important battles to the end of E6!
  14. No worries, same for me actually! The month of March sure has been quite crazy. Now that things are chill I’ll start checking the site more frequently. Anywhooo, onto the interesting stuff! At minimum two endings, at max, I’d guess four. That seems like a reasonable amount. Twenty sounds like a daunting task…I mean unless they go the joke-ending route or count the Bad Ends in that total. But hey if they wanna be utterly ambitious and shoot for that, I’ll be rooting for them! The cool thing about story splits is that assuming a split of some sort does occur, said split should be happening soon. There are four more badges left before Victory Road and the showdown with the Elite Three Four. Same thing for the endings. It’s gonna be really exciting to see what choices/consequences/surprises will be in store for us going forward. Correct me if I’m wrong, didn’t Nova insinuate her waning powers were due to Aurora (it’s been a hot minute lol)? She’s totally lucky either way. Nova is already a thorn in her/Darkrai’s side. All they need is for Nova to have her powers. Aurora would be in for a bad time. Haha true. Time to commit some fairly illegal things with Lilith for the good of the region! They are…the tears of fans are the most precious of treasures. The sweetest treat a writer could ask for. Right? After Ryder and Cedric nab Lilith, they need to set their sights on Waldenhall. He’s being a menace to priceless historical sites…and modern society. To the dungeons with him. Haha understandable, Jarred is quite a lot for any one of us mortals. Will do, I’ll most likely have finished the dating sim the next time I post! That’d be quite an exciting way to introduce E7 . Garret was doing something silly like holding the map upside-down or mixing up the location names and that’s how they ended up in said predicament. Absolutely! Maybe I’m a bit of a weirdo but a 20-30 page research paper on Perfection or Ayrith’s history dripping with snarky notes left by those two sounds like a great read to me. Oh we will lol. By the time we’re done Shiv’s gonna have quite a background. Just look at our wonderful headcanons of Aurora and Darkrai we have going on . In all seriousness, I’m sure some of their cryptic past will be revealed if that journal in the Waterscape is anything to go by. Just gotta bide our time and wait, we’ll be rewarded soon enough. I believe the Fire/Dragon user is Atlas and that’d be so amusing. That’s totally how he greets any trainer who just traversed Victory Road and has finally arrived at the League proper. Damien would be off in some dark corner or cool patch of shade, scoffing at the pair of them. To be honest that’d be pretty impressive though…being able to strut about in full regalia without turning into a human puddle. Wonder what else Deso will have you add to your resume . That definitely seems like Shiv’s style, especially since they are Foxes. If it were information he’s seeking then I’d hazard a guess and say that the info pertains to Perfection (or I suppose Nova’s location since he was searching for her on Bountilia later on…guess it depends on when this negotiation took place).
  15. I've been posting these in the mod market, I figured I should also post it in the Desolation forum. Also, like this I can have all my mods in one place.

  16. Sorry for the delay, it's been a very hectic week. I agree, there's definitely a lot of potential re: story splits. I do think the story will likely have multiple endings, but probably only four or five, like Rejuv- even if there's potential for like twenty endings, I doubt the devs would go with that. Honestly, Aurora's lucky that Nova's powers are waning/failing, or I wouldn't put it past Nova to use her powers to screw with Aurora's head just for the sake of it. I think the 'crime' part is pretty implicit with Lilith, LMAO. They love our tears. They taste like candy. Arson, desecration of historical objects/a historical site and offending historians worldwide. The bastard. I don't think my brain can handle the Jarred, but let me know how it goes for you. That's how E7 starts: the protagonist, Garret and Emily managed to get lost because Garret screwed up somehow. We immediately have to prevent them from strangling each other. I feel like the drafts would either be full of snarky notes where they're criticising each other's writing, or just full of arguments about the most minor details. And by God, if the devs don't tell us we'll make it up ourselves. I bet that one Elite Four who likes Fire-types (Damien?) likes to walk around outside in full regalia just to show how tough/immune he is, while Azura calls him a freak. *reluctantly adds 'grave-botherer' to my resume* There's always the possibility that Shiv's trying to get as much information possible while feeding the Foxes/Crescent/God knows who else disinformation. He seems like that kind of sneaky.
  17. It's an easter egg for interacting with a normally unreachable Pokemon NPC, if I remember correctly PS: I recommend saving before trying it
  18. As the question says, really. Any Pokemon that gets you through the game or at least the plot important battles? Or that you really wanted to get into the party as soon as you could, really.
  19. That is one answer I don’t have/recall, unfortunately. That’s a really good question though. Maybe the answer is floating around somewhere? If not it's definitely a great question to ask. Given the trend of endings/splits in the Rebornverse, and the choices already present within Deso I’d hazard a guess and say it’s pretty likely that Deso will end up with at least the very least two actual endings (not including the Bad endings). That’s just my assumption though. It makes me wonder how a story split will go. We’ve already had several important story choices and a bad ending. There's quite a lot of potential for one. Ya know…I totally forgot about moves like Heal Pulse. Adding that to the list of potentials! Right? It isn’t like the three of them are any old pawns either. There’s totally a vested interest in keeping them around. The illusion idea is pretty neat and would fit much better with Darkrai and its displayed current abilities. If that’s the case I can’t wait for Aurora to see Nova alive and well later on. She’s in for a surprise. Just like I was. I really like that idea! The protagonist and Lilith go from enemies to an uneasy truce, to partners in crime (minus the crime…maybe). Earning Crescent's or Lilith’s trust would be my go-to thoughts for what the Perfection check will entail. Hopefully traversing the Canyon will provide a few more clues for a more definitive answer going forward. Most likely. After all, that is what every great author/writer does, yeah? Spend countless hours plotting how to achieve the most amount of suffering for all. Yep yep, the Canyon and the priests seem like treasure troves of information! So looking forward to it :) Seriously, of all the things he’s done he had to add arson to the list as well. Quite unnecessary lol. Omg that’s amazing. Thanks Cervys for gracing the world with these gems! Jarred absolutely deserves this spotlight. Also thank you for bringing this to my attention! I must check these out, they sound like a grand ol’ time. I know what I'll be doing with my free-time xD. Haha, they really are. Alrighty, the protagonist just needs to take a quick trip to Aevium and recruit Talon to the cause. He’s a chill dude and perfect for the job of charting those uncharted islands we’ll undoubtedly visit in the future. Until then the protagonist will just keep on winging it and hopefully won’t get lost in the process! Aurora and Darkrai make for such a great duo IMO. Shiv should watch out, Aurora and Darkrai could make waves in the academic world. Imagine if the protagonist finds a few drafts of theirs scattered around Ayrith. Quite a way to learn about the region. Just you wait Shiv, you and your enigmatic origins will be uncovered one day. Count on it. Yeppers, it is on a volcano according to one of those pamphlets on the cruise ship. Hydreilius Volcano to be exact. Can only imagine what the cooling bill for the league must be lol. Also, R.I.P. little pamphlets….your valuable contents will be sorely missed. At least until another fount of information regarding Hydreilius shows up. Haha better bring some offerings so that the dearly departed don’t mind the disturbances! Luckily there aren’t thatttt many tombstones in Deso…excluding the ones in the Weeping Depths that is. Shouldn’t take too long to scour every major tombstone. They are certainly worth a gander, there always seem to be some neat little tidbits on tombstones in these games. Quite. If Shiv is involved, I’d agree. I totally suspect he must be playing the Foxes too. Makes me wonder what his ‘negotiation’ with the Foxes involved. He seems to always be in the know so it’s hard to imagine it’s for information of some kind.
  20. Hi Everyone, Title kind of speaks for itself. I was wondering if it's possible to get the shiny pokemon you receive in trades (like the Elekid you get in exchange for a Rolycoly in Celeste City). I've been resetting for it for a while and it's pretty fast to do. I have the shiny charm as well so the odds should be around 1/33. I've gone over this many times. Just wondering if I'm unlucky or wasting my time. Edit: Forgot to mention. I assume you'd see if it's shiny in the trade screen already. If that's not the case do tell me please :) Edit 2: Decided to just keep going and I eventually got it! You do see it in the trade screen already.
  21. I talked to Rosetta again accidentally being a button masher & when she asked me if I didn't want to do it I replied "no" because in my dumb brain I was thinking double negative = I still want to do it so I couldn't get the archives key. But I debugged it in once I got to the underground library because I didn't want to put in all this work for nothing. Will this mess up my game in the future? I'm going back & finishing all the side quests I forgot atm. Sorry if this sounds dumb I'm just really pissed at myself I've been trying to do everything right so far & idk what to do.
  22. Hmmm. Speaking of outcomes, I wonder, do you by any chance happen to recall any mention of how many endings Desolation might have? I know Rejuvenation will have four, and Reborn had the postgame split. Since (IIRC) Deso will only have ten episodes, maybe the devs might have mentioned it? It's true that people can survive a lot of stabbing, especially if Aurora didn't manage to hit anything vital. (Or for all we know, Nova had a mon using Heal Pulse on her somewhere.) But I actually really like your idea that Darkrai was somehow responsible. Not sure if it could actually heal Nova, but maybe it used some kind of illusion power on Aurora so she thought she stabbed/killed Nova, but didn't actually do it? I agree that Darkrai would get a bit miffed if one of its pawns shanked another, so it would have a vested interest in making sure that didn't happen. Those are fantastic ideas, but I'll add another one- maybe it's with Lilith, to get her on our side. If we prove we know enough about Perfection, it might convince her that we can be trusted/we're an ally that's worth sticking with. Somewhere, the devs are plotting which character to make us love before giving them a depressing fate (or making a new character entirely). They want us to suffer. True, the priests are absolutely a good potential source of information. And Waldenhall definitely needs to lay off on the arson of priceless historical sites, once was bad enough. (I would punch him myself for that, if I could.) Oh, God. Speaking of Jarred, today I discovered that not only did some mad lad make a dating sim of him ( , the same mad lad made a mod of Deso where everything is Jarred ( Maps are awesome. Everyone loves maps. I'd totally be down for a detailed Ayrith map. (Someone call Talon, lmao.) Darkrai winds up as Aurora's research assistant. They co-author numerous papers on the history of Ayrith. They make a surprisingly good, but utterly terrifying combination. Somewhere, Shiv is laughing at us for thinking we could understand him and his origins. I forgot about the League being on a volcano, actually. I thought it was a mountain? I'm going to have to comb over every tombstone in the game, aren't I... True... Aurora does seem like the most likely option there... or maybe Shiv's just playing the Foxes too?
  23. Alrighty, I’m back after that slight delay! Happy to be of service~ Yeah, honestly the cast deserves the best possible outcome. Especially Tristan and Hardy, I’m holding out hope for those two. At least they will get that in your save (assuming the situation doesn’t nosedive later on)! It isn’t out of the realm of possibility she could survive an attack like that, but it was certainly framed as a death in the game, and man she bounced back rather quickly. Wonder if it has anything to do with her bubbly personality xD. In all seriousness, they aren’t normal that’s for sure. Could be that they aren’t entirely human. Someone, quick, call the X-Men XD. Tristan, at least the one the protagonist knew, is confirmed to be some fabrication of Darkrai’s that can enter reality. And some entity, which may or may not be some person who lost their physical body, is now roaming Ayrith. So, there are non-human entities in the story. Although that begs the question, what exactly would they be? They certainly aren’t fabrications like Tristan and Perfection doesn’t seem to grant those sorts of powers, as far as we know. I dunno exactly what they could be. Nova was able to siphon off Aurora’s power and seems to have some sort of connection to Lilith so she may be special to some degree. Could the reason behind her survival be because she yoinked a part of Aurora’s power at some point? Oh! What if it’s a part of Darkrai’s influence over them? It’d be quite unfortunate for Darkrai to lose one of its pawns to something out of its control like a stabbing for instance. If it can exert a level of control over them who’s to say it’s not able to make sure they don’t kick the bucket too early? There’s also the possibility Aurora didn’t hit anything vital, and Nova patched herself up ASAP (or maybe Shiv patched her up and once she was stable, she fled). She then took time to recover from the wound in the Dreamscape. Time flows differently in the Dreamscape, especially when a person’s physical body is there. Which could allow her to be up and at em by the time Darkrai entered Ayrith. It seems likely it’ll be for another check of some sort. It doesn’t seem like having more knowledge about Perfection affects it in any sort of way so that doesn’t seem very likely. Proving a falsehood or demonstrating our knowledge of Perfection could work. My first thoughts would be involving Crescent or Hardy. The insight gained could prove to Baron that yeah, the protagonist is now in the loop about Perfection and that they have a mutual goal of stopping Waldenhall. Or to convince Hardy nothing good is gonna come from subjecting his Zoroark to Perfection and that he should aid the Darkrai Destroyer Squad instead. Completely, I’m not ruling out any sort of trickery, brainwashing, or otherwise lol. Haha absolutely, that’s a bit of an understatement there xD. The preparations for the riot are underway as we speak juuuuuust in case it comes to pass lol. Seriously though, first Tristan and then Hardy. That’d be absolutely brutal, exciting but brutal. Totally can feel my heart fracturing just thinking about it For sure. They are also journal entries - a collection of the author’s personal thoughts and perspectives on the situation. Embellishment or downplaying what went on could very well have happened. Definitely, with Lilith’s absence, she may come back with some new knowledge of the situation. And Waldenhall is quite capable, he could very well track down yet another fount of knowledge. I’m just hoping Waldenhall doesn’t go torching the next historical discovery he stumbles across. I’m most looking forward to the Kanzen Priests. If they come from the same priests as the ones mentioned in the entries, they could have some stories or records about what happened back then. That’s as certain as the sky being blue! I don’t think the protagonist would ever hear the end of it from those three, especially Garret. It would be! I can see Jarred appearing from nowhere on a Ranger sidequest and striking up a conversation about Majira. Except he keeps referring to Majira as Majora for no explainable reason then peaces out. Yep, we haven’t got an extensive map of Ayrith yet. The smaller islands like Ruby or Bountilia are always shown as disconnected when they are visited. It’s quite probable many more islands will be available later on. Which also means more places for legendaries to be hiding! Honestly, it’d be pretty cool to see a map of the Ayrith region in its entirety. Maybe one day we will be graced with one (totally not cause I have ulterior motives and really enjoy maps or anything...). Assuming Darkrai doesn’t perish or end up sealed away again I’d say that would be a fitting end for it. Arceus knows Darkrai deserves it after all that it’s done. I’d also hope it could achieve some level of atonement with them as its keepers. Totally. Fabricated memories could go any number of ways, depending on who is doing the fabricating and for what reasons. I pretty much agree with any of those. With so little information to go on it's definitely on the list of possibilities. And with it already being difficult enough trying to discern fact from fiction when it comes to those two… who’s to say this isn’t the case? Hydreilius could be water-related. Hydr is a Greek root that means water so maybe it is. It also kinda reminds me of Hydreigon. Which isn’t water-related but is quite similar to Hydreilius. Or it could just be an island with a really cool-sounding name. Which I can say for certain it is. Hydreilius…sounds like an awesome place to live! Outside of the name we know the island houses another volcano which the league sits on top of, Hakari City. And of course, the gym leader Kairo. Not a lot to go on but maybe we’ll get a bit more in v7. I wonder what type of festivals they hold. It’d be interesting to arrive on Hydreilius while one is underway. Very true, seems much more preferable than dwelling on that depressing note. They are. The tombstones are a bit of an early hint at the connection between the four of them. So that last one must be linked in a similar fashion. The next character that we come across whose name starts with Si is officially on my sketch-as-heck list. That’s the impression I had of it when reading through that again. Although I don’t recall both twins striking deals with the Foxes/Amelia. What was the negotiation about? When did it take place? The only other option I could think of was the whole Aurora thing lol.
