Ooh, interesting~ Def wanna give this a try. Some of the custom sprites (I may have already downloaded and played a lil bit) look a bit... jpeg-y? pixelly? in places, but they're really nicely done otherwise! Better than anything I could ever do, that's for sure~ And even though there's not much by way of detailed story description in your post, something about it is really intriguing. I hope development goes well! Remember not to overwork yourself! Yourselves? If there's multiple people in the team or not, do remember to take breaks, is what I'm trying to say.

Was gonna give this a try, but it seems the download link is busted. I get 404'd every time I try. Aww...

Have started playing this again after seeing it updated from Ep7, and after changing into and back from 'Adventurer Cradily' I went from the normal 'nonbinary' player character to this... redhead, in a black/purple jacket with greenish brown pants? Who be this? Is this a bug of some variation, or no? Because it's even changed my overworld AND in-battle sprite. They look cool, don't get me wrong but... this was most certainly not who I 'used to be'. Adventurer Cradily has co-opted some poor npc's sprites, I think...

Looking back on his last post here, he said he was indeed working on it, just slowly, since he was in uni/med school and had little to no free time for working on Desolation. He doesn't seem to have logged in since May, but that last post didn't show any sign of wanting to ditch the project, just that he promised an unrealistic date and was really sorry about not being able to meet it, and that he wouldn't be posting much until he had something to show. I'm gonna keep my belief of 'working slowly and not having a lot of free time'. I'm sure if Caz didn't wanna work on Deso anymore he'd at

I'm assuming that Caz is probably working on it quietly - probably life getting in the way, or even just wanting to have the game finished before he posts anything. Gonna keep assuming that too, until he asks a mod to lock the thread.

Not trying to double-post but I found what look entirely like a bug as I was playing. In the ranch, there's a massive red tree outside that area with the yellow grass and the scarecrows. A textbox pops up when I interact with it but like... way off to the side? All I see of whatever's on it is 'irits rest in peace' because it's so far to the left that it's halfway off the screen. Either it's an error or that tree isn't supposed to have that function, so... just so you know. Attached an image as well, in case I'm worse at descriptions than I thought. capture000.bmp

I can't remember why I never gave this a look before now. My brain is telling me that either the demo was shorter-sounding than I'd have preferred, or that for some reason it was all because of the pixellated quality of the Professor's initial full-body sprite, which sounds dumb so I'm going with the first one. Either that or I'm being an idiot and this thread didn't exist until very recently. Either way, this is really good so far~! What little of the plot I've seen so far has me intrigued - I'm eager to keep playing and see if my theory is right.

oooh, it's finished? Last time I played was on version four! Def gonna give this another go. I do have to admit though, that the pokedex alterations really turn me off. It felt kind of unnecessary to me, and it's jarring as heck to catch a pokemon and see just a random word instead of lore. Past that though, it's a decent game! Certainly it looks really nice. I'd comment on the story but I never got that far in, rip.

Tried to remember why I stopped playing this game and started up my old file again. Oh right. Tristan keeps kicking my ass with his mega-lopunny. That's why I stopped playing.

Hey - curious question as I replay this game; is it possible to get a shiny of that one early croagunk? Just before I start resetting over and over?

I never realized until now that you could choose to start with an Ultra Beast so I'm literally restarting my game ONLY so I can start off with my main 'mon Nihilego. Favorite design ever~ Also holy jeebus the UB sprites are some big in the starter selection area. Are they supposed to be so gigantic, or is that a bug of some kind? Just that they kind of overlap each other to the point of not being able to see them separately that well.

Okay, so in a new save file, I'm trying to complete the trials with Maria in the sewer mansion place, only, when I turn around to talk to her, I get this error before the game outright crashes on me; "Script 'Interpreter' line 517: NoMethodError occurred. undefined method `unlock' for nil:NilClass"

In Terajuma, on route five, you can retrieve Tropius's egg before even initiating the associated Help Center quest, thus rendering the quest impossible to finish. I made the mistake of thinking it was just a random event that earned me a Tropius, later learning it was a help quest I was now effectively locked out of. Might I recommend the building's door be locked until the associated quest is active?

Alright, so, I'm kind of curious. Just got two questions. One; Why is the game named 'spork'? It's always confused me, especially now that I've played it to see that it's not actually a joke game like I thought it was (or at least not nearly as 'joke' as I'd assumed). I actually avoided this game for the longest time because I thought it was gonna be a silly, april-fools-esque game with no real point to it. Two - what the heck is up with the pokedex descriptions? I caught a Corphish and found out it's description is 'Jimmy Dean', and every other Mon I have is described similarly. T

Nah, it was the sprite that was a redesign of a character in Reborn, all whiteish clothes and silver hair in a ponytail. I think it was replaced with a brown-haired fella in a headband in 4.1.1. I loved the way he looked, but I guess I can understand why he'd be removed.

My favorite male sprite for the player character was removed from the game, apparently? Sad now. The new guy just isn't the same. Ah, well. Still love the game regardless~ Also; kind of excited to see all the changes in the game. Might make a new file to play around and see what's new.

Hi, me again. Sorry to bother people. Out of curiosity, is there a fire-stone in the current release? Because I've got leaf and water, and with all my other pokemon evolved at least once, my Growlithe is starting to lose it's usefulness since it goes down so easy compared the the rest of my team. I'm already at Route 3 and I can't figure out if I just haven't hit the Fire Stone yet or if I've somehow missed it completely. Or if it doesn't even exist and I've screwed myself by not catching another Fire type when I could.

Also, one last gripe before I resume lurking - I've had this game for months and I still haven't beaten Connor. Not once. I'm starting to suspect he CAN'T be beaten without cheating somehow.

Okay. I give up. I've been looking for actual months. How the heck do I solve the helix cave bidoof puzzle, and how is it that there are exactly ZERO walkthroughs of that cave??? There's his one video of somebody getting TO the bidoofs, but not past them. Is that the whole point to the cave? Just to get to the Bidoofs? EDIT; Nevermind. I somehow did it? No idea how; I was just mashing 'A' on bidoofs in random order. Eventually a door opened.

Yeah, I figured it was probably just a poor team setup so rather than spend time grinding I chose to reset and pick up a better team, rather than frustrate myself. Regardless, at this point my team is now Unaware Wooper, Keen Eye Pidgey, Pickup Zigzagoon (for the bonus items, since no store early in), RainDish Lotad (it was shiny and I ran out of pokeballs after that) and Overcoat Sewaddle. I'm planning on grinding up the wooper and lotad to try and at least hold him back until I can set up something, once I get to him again. My mistake before had been just grinding my Sewaddle and assuming C

Sorry to post again so soon but I am in desperate need of strategies for Connor; he trashed me. I couldn't land a single hit in on his vulpix - the first pokemon he send out by the way. My team was only three levels below him, at worst - I expected a bit of a challenge, sure, but not to be absolutely obliterated. Jeeze.

Is there a specific way to progress through the beginning boat scene? Because after I got my trainer card, I explored all the rooms, found the thing in that last room to the right, and now I can't go anywhere. I'm stuck in the hall and vaguely certain I just broke some scripting from not following my friends to wherever it was they wanted me to go...

So. As it turns out, all I needed to do to gain an edge was teach my Serperior Nature Power. In the dark, it turns into Discharge, and that takes away the dark. From then on, it was a matter of just outlasting him most times after dropping toxic on the pokes that could take it. *does a happy dance* Ah, but thank you for the advice anyways~!

I'm doing the aqua/magma missions, and I'm at the part where you Raid Magma's base. Only thing is... I have no sweet clue where the magma base is. I've heard something about it being in one of those little alleyways, only the Aqua base is the only alleyway hideout thing in all of Lapis - where I figure it must be since the gangs are tormenting LAPIS. And the only Magma I can find is that one guy that tells you to shoo. ...Help? EDIT; Nevermind. Apparently it's outside the ward. Whoops.

Alright, so... I'm at Shade right now, and getting utterly annihalated every time I fight him. Help would be awesome. Worth it to note though, that IV's, EV's, and Natures and that stuff goes right over my head so rambling that at me will mean very little.
