The moving process will continue in late June and go into July. When that happens, I don't know when I'll next be able to work on Spork, so I'd like to do one more reupload before I become unavailable during that time. It will likely be a smaller reupload since that's just 2 1/2-3 weeks from now, and since I might want to take it easy for a couple days. Onto the reupload, first, here's some information on the new shinies! Nidoran lines: these are the Pride Month shinies I mentioned in April! The male Nidoran line has the gay male pride flag colors, and the female Nidoran line has the lesbian pride flag colors! The white line in the middle of the flags is represented as a stripe for the first two stages, and for Nidoking and Nidoqueen, the stripe expands to resemble an eye mask! Thanks to Enigma for the eye mask idea! Klink line: They're based on Time Gears from Mystery Dungeon Explorers of Time/Darkness/Sky. The outer ring on Klinklang is green like the energy that surrounds the Time Gears. Carnivine: Similar to how Reborn's shiny Carnivine is based on Piranha Plants from Mario, Spork's shiny Carnivine resembles a Golden Piranha Plant! Quaxly line: Quaxly is Mario, Quaxwell is Luigi, and Quaquaval is Wario! Punkeev came up with the idea and added the moustache and mouth to Quaxly! We started working on these last reupload, but they got postponed to this one because I hesitated a bit with Quaquaval Wario. I hope it looks okay. It was a little bit of a challenge because in addition to Quaquaval having a pretty detailed design, there wasn't enough space below the beak to add the mouth. I kept Quaquaval's wavy patterns on the purple overalls because I figured they could be like Ws for Wario. Mareanie line: They're based on black treasure trees from the animated series Hanazuki: Full of Treasures, because of how similar they look to Mareanie! I also kept the canon shiny Mareanie and Toxapex because I like them a lot. Most of the shinies we've done so far have been for Pokemon whose shinies are extremely similar to the regular Pokemon, but Mareanie and Toxapex do have very distinct shinies, and I didn't want to remove them, so you can get both! Carbink: The Carbink from the Crystal Caverns puzzles are now available as shinies! I've been thinking about making them for a while, and Pride Month seems like a fitting time since there are seven of them and seven colors in a rainbow! Enigma made the original Carbink in the Crystal Caverns puzzles using a hue effect in RPG Maker. Punkeev had brought up the idea for a Secret Base for Isaac a few months ago, and Enigma suggested Veyle as the location. You can find Halves in front of a tree in the top left of the first Veyle map, and can follow Halves in to the Secret Base. I had a lot of fun making it! There are no quests or other big events tied to it, it's just a place to have fun little interactions with the furniture and Pokemon. In the distant future when the Serenity Seaside postgame house character interactions I mentioned in 2024 are finished (I've been working on them little by little across reuploads), this will be where you go to hang out with Isaac. The Couragi overworld sprite is based on a custom emote Punkeev commissioned a few years ago! Couragi has a corgi hoodie and I think it looks very cute! Happy Pride Month!

Reuploaded: -Delicia's Return to Dreamland now has a title screen! Made by Punkeev -the Easter Eggs at the scavenger hunt now have their own graphics (made by Punkeev) -new Couragi overworld sprite made by Punkeev -custom shiny Nidoran (both male and female) lines (Nidoran made by Punkeev; the rest made by me) -Mulder's Nidoking is now shiny -Belladonna's Arbok changed to shiny Nidoqueen (nickname Gallium) The title screen is based on a Lickilicky card from the TCG (in the Lost Origin set). Thanks to Punkeev for the title screen and Easter eggs!

Reuploaded DDDL and Spork: DDDL: -added color mush PC to the Party District/City Pokemon Center SPORK UPDATES: -new custom shinies: custom shiny Litwick line made by me (with feedback and revamped Chandelure from Cinna) two different custom shiny Budew lines made by me custom shiny Torchic line (Torchic front sprite made by Punkeev, the rest made by me) custom shiny Trubbish line made by me second revamp for shiny Articuno by Punkeev custom shiny Mega Malamar made by Punkeev -Nova VS sprite made by Palletite (the hand pose is custom!) -the Litwick that appears in the story is now named Beri and is the new custom shiny -added three new Nova events: one at Wonky Woods as you're leaving after the story events (you can still activate this on an older save if you're past Wonky Woods), one in the Contest Hall lobby, and she's also been added to Crolea's birthday party -changed the Umbreon Sign's main ability: it now activates "Stealth Mode", which allows you to bypass most regular Trainers (more details further down the post). The hide and seek visibility is now part of the Espeon Sign instead -Spork Art Gallery updates: added the Isaac + Ampharos and Quinn art that Punkeev commissioned from Nym; art is now displayed on statues that Punkeev made (you still interact with them for the full images); and there's a new room for Punkeev's Sporktober doodles -Punkeev added two new skin tones for Cyclists -Belinda now acknowledges Beri at Crolea's birthday party if you speak to her after Felicia brings Beri out -Windows XP, color mush, and blue screen PCs made by Punkeev -changed Draga's trainer class to Fledgling -interacting with one of Isaac's ducks now makes a squeaky sound effect -reduced the size of the Contest Hall lobby -team changes: Strawberry: Lurantis -> shiny Chandelure (nickname StrawberryKing) Belinda: A-Muk -> Shiori Novella shiny Roserade Belladonna's Roserade is now the IRyS shiny Peach: Mega changed from Gallade to Malamar Lemon: Cofagrigus -> shiny Gorebyss (nickname Light) Portal Agent Robert's Garbodor is now shiny -added a warning note not to battle Mother's + Father's Day Meowstic with only 1 Pokemon, as it'll crash the game -removed the message about not having fonts installed, because it was happening even to players who do have them installed SPORK FIXES: -the Bombirdier you get wasn't shiny if you met Isaac before doing the quest; it's now shiny both if you haven't or have met Isaac -removed white space from Cosmog's backsprite between its crest and right ear There's so much to talk about this time, so hopefully I can summarize it all well enough! Starting with the shinies: Litwick line: I saw an image of strawberry tarts someone made that looked like Litwick, and then saw a couple people made fanart of them, which inspired me to make a shiny line based on them! Thanks to Cinna for offering feedback and updating the Chandelure's front sprite as an example! The eyes and lines along the glass are more readable now, and the shading is more detailed! Also, thanks to Punkeev for naming Beri! It's strange that I never even gave the Litwick a name before Budew lines: They're based on two Hololive VTubers, IRyS and Shiori Novella! Just like Roselia and Roserade have two different-colored roses, IRyS has two different-colored eyes, and Shiori has two hair colors. IRyS was the original idea, and later I realized Shiori would also work for the two colors concept. While Roserade isn't a Dark-type, I thought Belinda and Belladonna having the two different Roserade shinies was too adorable to not do. (plus, Belinda is retired, and throwing off opponents with something unexpected is her style anyway) Articuno: Punkeev wasn't feeling the inverted color one either, so she made a new one again. We worked together on deciding a theme. This one is based on Qingque from Honkai: Star Rail, specifically her Origami Bird from the minigame. It's my favorite shiny Articuno so far! Trubbish line: These ones are also HSR-inspired. The main bodies have the colors of the Trash Cake, while the colorful bits of debris are based on some of the other Critter Pick creations (ex: the pink and blue ones shown on Trubbish above are from the March 7th one). Mega Malamar: As mentioned before, it continues the line's theme. Inkay has the original Splatoon main colors, Malamar has the Splatoon 2 main colors, and Mega Malamar has the Splatoon 3 main colors! Punkeev added a cool gradient at the top! Torchic line: Isaac has this Torchic, named Water Chicken, in DDDL, which is from an inside reference. I decided to continue the whole line as shinies! Stealth Mode: I had trouble thinking of something for the Umbreon Sign when I originally made the Eeveelution Zodiac, and making the hide and seek locations visible is very similar to the Espeon Sign showing invisible items. Recently I thought of "Stealth Mode", which shows as Halves appearing in front of Trainers, blocking their line of sight and allowing you to avoid them unless you intentionally talk to them. This does not include Trainers in Gyms, Team Portal agents, Wonky Woods, the Vitamin Factory, or the Rap Battle House. Basically, areas where I thought being able to bypass the Trainers there would detract from the story or vibes. Nova: I had so much fun writing her, especially when you first meet her in Wonky Woods! For that event, you might notice that she's wearing a black dress at first, then her sprite becomes the shiny Gothitelle dress when Robin appears. The first idea for her design had a black dress, and I thought it'd be neat to have both in game. Before you arrived at Wonky Woods, she was having an Absol vs Absol sparring match with Agne. You meet her on your way out and there's a silly conversation with a Galarian Ponyta, along with Nova's entire Pokemon team introducing her to you. PCs: The color mush ones are used in Pokemon Centers and Alumia's Gym, the blue screen ones are at the tournament lobby in the Sea Star Society and Planet Spork, and the Windows XP ones are used in every other area that has a PC. Along with the duck sound effects, these were originally in Punkeev's own game she's making for fun, and I wanted to add them to Spork! Thanks to Punkeev for so much new art this upload, and to Palletite for Nova's VS sprite! They say that April showers bring May flowers. It's now May, and Spork has new shiny flowers!

Reuploaded: -Isaac's overworld sprites in Delicia's Return to Dreamland now match trainer and VS sprites (is in the post above!) -custom shiny Litwick line made by me (with feedback and revamped Chandelure from Cinna) -two different custom shiny Budew lines made by me -custom shiny Mega Malamar made by Punkeev -Nova VS sprite made by Palletite -changed Draga's trainer class to Fledgling -team changes: Strawberry: Lurantis -> shiny Chandelure (nickname StrawberryKing) Belinda: A-Muk -> Shiori Novella shiny Roserade Belladonna's Roserade is now the IRyS shiny Lemon: Cofagrigus -> shiny Gorebyss (nickname Light)

Did some testing and it turns out it's more specific than that. It doesn't happen with double battles against one trainer; if you only have one Pokemon for those, the game will just make it a single battle instead. Mother's Day and Father's Day Meowstic being 1 vs 2 with no partner is set up differently than any other double battle in the game, and it's that combination that causes the crash. I looked at all the script sections mentioned in the error message. The one with pbStartBattleCore is the message "Opponent trainer must be only one person in single battles". This is just the text that displays for the error. And for the Sky + Inverse Battles, I couldn't understand what was related there. The pbStartBattle one is probably the part that needs to be changed. I took out what I thought could be the most relevant part (about party length), but removing it caused an error. Until I get better at reading the scripts, I probably shouldn't mess with this too much on my own, so I think I have two options for now. I could make them two separate single battles, or I could add a warning note about not attempting them with 1 Pokemon.

Here are the three Crystal Caverns puzzle solutions. I think this is the first one you're at, but I can't tell 100%, so I'll post all of them just in case: Also, there's a puzzleguide notepad file you can consult if you need puzzle help! The solutions for the Crystal Caverns puzzles are in there too

It's likely the same will happen trying to battle Orange or Carol (or Felicia at Mt. Comet) with one Pokemon, then, as they're also double battles without a partner. Interesting timing, Enigma had actually mentioned this to me a few days ago and asked if I could ask the Reborn team about how they got around this. They said that they just don't have the part of the script that crashes if the player enters a double battle with one Pokemon. So I'll see if I can find and remove that part of the script soon.

Isaac with Ampharos and Quinn by Nym!

Thanks, fixed for next reupload! I've attached the fixed backsprite to the post if you want it now, and also included the shiny as the white space was on both of them.

Reuploaded with fixes: -Jim no longer has an extra Staraptor; has been changed to the intended Farigiraf -the Elite Four now have battle music -the opponent Delicia's VS sprite at the True Arena now faces the player Delicia's VS sprite

For Jim, it was the Farigiraf, yes. I must have not been thinking clearly and added another Staraptor to his team instead of just giving his existing one the Staraptite. For the Elite Four, it seems that I changed their theme to the newer one in the trainertypes file, but forgot to actually add the new music to the Audio folder. I'll create a new trainer class for the Delicia at the True Arena so the VS sprite for the opponent Delicia can face the player Delicia Isaac's base VS sprite is Falkner, and it seems that Falkner is facing the opposite direction of Isaac: For this one, I'll ask Punkeev if the intent was to change direction. Thanks for all the bugs you've reported, you were very thorough with finding and documenting them! I'll start on fixing these and then do another reupload for Delicia's Return to Dreamland.

Very early Spork reupload to fix an issue where you couldn't get the Starminite if you chose the Vaporeon Sign Updates: -custom shiny Scorbunny line made by me -changed Nova's Key Stone item to Mega Ribbon Fixes: -the Starminite is now available at the Mega Stone vendor if you have the Vaporeon Sign -when changing Deoxys forms with the meteorites at Area S1, there's no longer a chance that they'll say "-1" changed form instead of Deoxys -the Paldea arena at the Battle Factory now has the factory battle background like the other arenas -the Planet Spork simulation categories with four trainers now have a "Nevermind" option in order to opt out like all the others The shiny Scorbunny line are based on Waraby, which from what I've read was a scrapped starter! I don't know whether Waraby would eventually become repurposed into Scorbunny, or if they're two separate ideas, but I've seen fanart of them together and I thought it would be cute to have the shiny fire bunnies be like the water bunny! Thanks to Marianito for all the bug reports recently, they've been very helpful! The earlier than planned reupload could be fitting since the shiny bunnies get to debut in April, when Easter is! So Spork has been visited by the Easter Bunny!

Reuploaded: -changed Nova's Key Stone item to Mega Ribbon -changed Ashley's Key Stone item to Mega Tutu; seems like I forgot to give Ashley her Key Stone from Spork in Return to Dreamland before

Interestingly, I tested it just now and only got it the first time I changed form, from Normal to Defense Form. After that, even when I used a rock for a form it was already in, it displayed the name correctly. Very mysterious. But I just realized I could just change the stored variable to have it say Deoxys, since Deoxys is the only Pokemon to have this form-changing method.

Thank you for all of these reports! That's strange for the rocks, since they all look the same in the event pages aside from which form they change. For where the -1 is, they have this: I believe \v[1] is a variable that stores the name of the Pokemon. If it correctly stores the others, I wonder why this one is an exception. The only possibility that's immediately coming to mind: Was Deoxys already in the form that the rock changes it to? For the idol outfits, there are certain player activities that don't have sprite sheets for them yet (I believe surfing, surfing while fishing, and biking are the ones missing, going off a glance in the Graphics folder). I think that Palletite may have made them just with performances in mind, and didn't imagine I'd have them as full-time outfits. However, it's been brought up and they're a future project! It seems like I forgot to add the Starminite for the Vaporeon Sign The Sea Star Society shops have two event pages. One for regular buying, which does have the Starminite, and one for the Vaporeon Sign which doesn't need to purchase with Heart Scales. I'll probably want to do a reupload soon to fix this, since that means if you have the Vaporeon Sign, you can't get the Starminite at all I'll set the battle background for the Paldea Factory! I may have forgotten that I changed the others from the default to the factory background The four options are a relic from before I knew how to expand the menu to show more choices. I kept them at the time because they showed all the options on the screen, but hadn't considered that for Planet Spork, there wouldn't be an opt out option for the battles, so I'll go back and update those. That one is just Isabelle's shenanigans, yeah. The stones that Angela gives you are just decorative. I'm not sure what kind I could make from the descriptions, but I do think it would be really neat if they did effects!
