Seconded. Mom's Sylveon was an absolute BEAST in both battles. Mine had Moon Blast, Hyper Voice, Calm Mind, Psychic Terrain. Plus the Ability Pixilate.

Having just played thru the game on Paragon Route, I gotta say I'm...well, kinda worried? What I've taken from Erin's files is that basically Karma is an AI that's basically playing in a sandbox and all characters are just toys that can be discarded at will, seeing as Karma can just restart if it does not like things. It cannot control the Interceptor, but it can manipulate them, thus bending them to its will. Point being, I am super ultra worried right now. Because this spells out two ways things can go (imo): 1) Paragon Route Karma has controlled MC to do its bidding, creating its perfect world. There is no free will, because Karma has decided it all. Karma refuses to release this world, as to not ruin the perfect blooming world it has created. All characters are alive - but in a fake world without free will. 2) Renegade Route MC has successfully toppled Karma and fought for Free Will. The perpetual cycle of re-creation of worlds is broken, and for once, a world is allowed to live to its fullest, in all its flaws. Characters died and were used as toys to maintain the old status quo, but those that did surve have free will. And like, maybe I'm just viewing this too damn negative, but either feels like there is no way to win this, as in: having a happy end. Either predetermined yet happy lives - or real yet horrifying lives. Either just feels bad. I'm really kinda worried that things might go this way, because call me childish, but I genuinely do want the Interceptor to have a happy end and to cause a happy end for everyone (...or at least most of them??). I do trust the dev team to continue the story as well-written as it has been so far, don't get me wrong. I just worry that it will be a tragedy (read: sad ends no matter how things go or what we do). Maybe I'm just viewing this too negative or something. But with the stakes being as high as they'd been already (Xen Raid on Terajuma, the Puppet Master, battling Spacea and Tiempa, the looming Xen Raid/Xenpurgis), I'm kinda tense...some optimistic input would be appreciated.

Just keep going with the Main Quest for now - the next part of the main storyline is called ".karma files" and during that, you'll be able to pick up this Side Quest. I literally had the same issue, you can check out my thread regarding that:

Is this after the cook-off at Teila Resort?

Does anyone have an idea what to do when having collected all the kids? The Quest List tells me to collect all five kids, and I did manage to find them - thing is, I'm walking around blindly because even on highest illumination turned tf ON on my laptop, I cannot see ANYTHING, so basically this side quest consists of stumbling around and getting zapped. My current guess is that the lone robot to the right is supposed to do anything and/or respectively blocking the exit. But HOW do I get the thing to move??? I fought it already, no dice, it was standing there afterwards anyways. I reallyreallyreally wanna do the quest tho, because the art is just SO dang cute!

I'm facing the same issue, I think. The darchlight crystals I've interacted with so far are: - at the double bridges, with the crystal being on the left bridge (Vivian attacks the guardians because they want to keep her until she's 20) - the room with the leftover figures (Vivian wonders why these seemingly "useless" figures are kept, she is told that the Admin may see them useful again) - the room where Regirock and two Claydols observe her training (Vivian wonders why she has to train with Pokemon) - the little room with the bonfire and the blue beamer pad and figures of an apple, a Seviper and a Togekiss (Claydol and Regirock discuss how Vivian is showing promise) - the room on the down-left of the bonfire room - consisting of a puzzle - on the right side, there is the display on how the figures need to be placed (Vivian notes she needs to use her Earth Sense to get the placement right) - on the down left of this room, there is another puzzle consisting of a Togekiss, a Seviper, a Greninja (Claydol and Regirock notice that Vivian is beginning to master her Earth Sense) Those six are all I could find. No idea how to proceed.

You're right!!! I proceeded to the .Karma Files and at that point, I could finally access the Missing Kids side quest.

The Rotom is inside the castle, in the ballroom

The quest isn't necessary, you can access the Togepi as soon as you have Magma Rift. You do need to have certain pokemon (matching certain type combinations) with you to be able to access it, though.

So the "Missing Kids" Quest is lowkey bugged for me - I've reported the first bug already at the bug report page, dw. First bug was the Quest List telling me to continue the main story, but when I entered Dylan's home in the Underground, whoops, the Quest continued (iirc it continued by visiting the PokeStar Studios with Ana). Second bug is the one I'm facing atm, and I'm not sure how to proceed. Namely, just before entering Axis High for the Dreamyard shenanigans with the Puppet Master, the Quest List told me I should return to Dylan's home in Kristilline. I didn't, in favor of proceeding with the main story. Now that I finished the battle against the Puppet Master, I wanted to continue the "Missing Kids" Quest and went to Dylan's home in Kristilline, just like the Quest List told me. No dice, though, Ana just says that "we need to wait for him to return", I can't go upstairs, there's nothing to continue the story. Dylan isn't at the Underground, either. I also checked BigJRA's Walkthrough, without success. tl;dr: How do I proceed after the Quest List telling me I should visit Dylan's home in Kristilline?

Re: Florin:

I figured this out by accident, but afterwards I found out that the guy at the entrance of the Gym tells you as much, even in gold words. Something along the lines of how Spector is different at night or something. Consequently battling him at night was spoooooky!

Reporting not a tiling error but another thing: the Pokerus infection is not displayed correctly. I went to the Nurse Joy at the nightly HoH, and my pokemon did not display being infected. However, when healing them at a PokeCenter, I was told that it is infected with the Pokerus.

Where does one get the stickers? I have currently two, one of which is from the Kimono girls. Other than that, I'm kinda stumped where to get them...

What it says on the tin - I've been wondering what these files are. Do they exist in my game folder or how do I access them? Asking because I wanted to check out Aevian Magikarp and the lass asking for a trade is nowhere to be found in Sashila Village. Another user here in the forum had the same issue and later on reported that accessing the .karma files apparently changed the map?? So yeah. What are they, how do I find them and what do they do?

Yup, it's in the Underground: the building where you can buy stuff (down and right when leaving the elevator)

I just tried doing that and it didn't work for me either. The updater had already been run, so yeah, no luck

You can also buy Charcoal in the Underground (? the one you access in GDC when

She's either the one at the Police Station (reporting her Pokemon being stolen) or the one at HoH (the one with the nightmares).

Yeah, the receptionist said as much. I just figured with Kristilline having its own Help Desk, that one of the Side Quests would be fixing that up. In v13 there also had been the fishing contest thing, too... But yeah, now that I'm in GDC already, I can't go back there. So yeah, answers regarding Side Quests in GDC would be much appreciated! So far (just got 11th badge), I'm...kinda underwhelmed by GDC. There's barely anything to do at all, just Main Quest stuff :(

Hi! When does one get access to Help Quests in Kristilline and GDC? I just got the eleventh badge, but barely managed to get side quests in either?? In Kristilline I basically just got Princess Odessa's body switcheroo shenanigans and the one where Dr Jenkel is a paper cutout. In GDC I got the train ticket side quest plus another started one (about getting a picture for an empty wall). That's it. The Help Desk in either city is not accessible: in Kristilline, it's still stuffed full of boxes and in GDC there's someone blocking the elevator. There are more Quests in either, I'm pretty sure (in Kristilline the former soldiers house (?) in the south, for example; in GDC stuff in the PokeStudios?, Sienna at the cemetary?). So, what gives? What did I miss?? I'd kinda like to just...not do Main Quest stuff for some time, but for the life of me, I cannot find Side Quest stuff anywhere. So yeah, I'd love a pointer on how to find Quests in GDC especially.

@iron1786 It's the one left of the Dream Complex, right next to it.

Thank you! That's the way I did it - didn't solve the overall issue but DID solve me being locked in the Library, lol. I'll just skip the mission.

Is there a way to skip I made the mistake of accepting the Quest, entering the Library in East Gearen Park and saving while inside. Now I'm locked in there...and can't abort the Quest, unfortunately.

You gotta enter via the arena (= the entrance that leads to the poisoned murk area) and then, right where you drop down, there's a huge stalagmite. Interact with it and it will drop down a rock to the left, allowing you to skip between left Carotos Mountain and murky Carotos Mountain
