Awesome! I'm glad you found an interesting strategy to defeat the major! There are lots of new moves and abilities to help some unexpected Pokemon find a meaningful spot in a team composition. Our 'boss' battles all employ different battling styles, and we hope players find new ways to adapt to the unique challenges each presents! (Also not to self-plug, but feel free to stop by our discord if you enjoy chatting about the game!)

Thanks for the heads up! That would be caused by a 'through on' effect that wasn't bookended by a 'through off'. I don't see any of those occurring in or around the area you're referring to, though, so I'm not sure what might have caused that. Still, glad it didn't persist! Hope you've been enjoying the game so far!

Hot Rod Hank's!

Pokemon Empire Episode 3 is officially here! https://drive.google.com/file/d/1pbQz3PEyrjQIweLoPFaY9y2sHBDU7MQN/view The changelog is MASSIVE. Check out our discord if you're interested. But there are two new starters, a brand new AI, and tons of new content to explore in Illyria! Enjoy!

"Something's come up. In Illyria. Do NOT check in at the outpost. Here, this is your assignment. We've been keeping tabs on them for some time now. This needs to be done cleanly. Remember, the most important thing is to recover the target. Everything else is secondary. Use the asset as you see fit, but make certain there are no loose ends. And there won't be a problem with any... personal... conflicts of interest regarding this assignment, correct?" "No, sir. I'll get it done." Pokemon Empire "Episode 3: Dust to Dust" has arri

Yeah the main consideration for us at this point is do we want to iron out the many bugs currently added to the game as a result of us overhauling a lot of the AI. The current live build uses something pretty close to Essentials' default AI system. We definitely wanted to make sure our game has an AI that's comparable in quality to some of the other major fangames out there, so it's something that I've been working on overhauling for this next episode. It's a long process, but we'll get there. But the question for us for now is do we want to try and smooth that all out now> Or do w

patch 2.3 is now live! It's a mini-update, so we're keeping it exclusive for our discord members only! (https://discord.gg/Ntj8zqh) we added some new post-episode 2 content back in Polaris: check out the new explorer's guild mission! general changelog: all 5 terrain effects are now fully implemented (yes, there's a new terrain available this patch) introduced a new class of move that deals damage and sets up a pseudo hazard (that can't be cleared by defog, etc). the pseudo-hazard can be proc'd by a different type of move to either damage the opponent or heal a teamm

North states that his soldiers were looking into one of the locked houses. One of those houses you couldn't previously enter is now accessible. Inside, you'll find one of the Council soldiers investigating something. Perhaps there's something in that area you yourself need to investigate? (also, shameless self-plug here: our discord's help and questions section is full these types of things. so feel free to stop by!)

I'm guessing you were frozen? The freeze status in Empire cuts your Special Attack in half. Even at +6 (or +5 after Lapras comes in with Halcyon), I'd guess Lapras's bulk is going to allow it to survive 2-3 magical leafs if you were indeed frozen. Also Amaura has Multiscale, so it won't take much from the first attack against it. Otherwise, check your IVs and Nature on your Spritzee. Those can also negatively affect damage output. I have heard reports from different people in different scenarios being surprised by how little damage their Pokemon are doing, though. And yet our team has

If you have a Shelmet and Karrablast in your party at the same time, the next one that gains a level will evolve. So karrablast is unable to evolve until you also have access to Shelmet.

That's actually a good question. Pokemon Empire tells the story of different factions whose ideologies are irreconcilable. Some people will agree with different factions (we are tribal beings by nature), but everyone will fall into the spectrum differently. Is it possible for reconciliation? Can people who see things so differently coexist in a harmonious society? Or will one side destroy the other and the entire country of Telius in the process? Perhaps both sides weaken each other so much that a new or even foreign influence will take over. There's a lot at play here, and your in-gam

Was making and editing tilesets for Episode 3 and RPG Maker never loves to let me know when I need to update the tilesets internally lol. Link is updated now! Thanks for letting me know!

Stay tuned! Pokemon Empire has lots of plotlines that won't be wrapped up immediately! Even some of the minor characters may pop up again in the very near future! looking at you, Techie Pat

@Display name @Chamberofsecrets12 please take that conversation to pm's. That's a spoiler I don't yet want displayed in this thread. Thank you!

In the very first dialogue of the game, Alanah tells you all the starters in Empire evolve at level 32 (instead of by their conventional methods). Besides the PBS, we also now have a guide available through our discord server so new players can reference our changes more conveniently!

There are a lot of gray areas between choosing sides. In some cases you may agree with one faction or person over another. Sometimes choosing one side in a particular situation will lead to consequences or rewards down the road, though. Adaptability boosts your STAB moves by x1.5 at the cost of the Pokemon being weak to Normal type moves. (also feel free to join our discord if you haven't. We have lots of folks willing to answer questions and chat about the game. shameless self-plug lol)

Wow. You're 100% right. Great catch. No one on our beta team proc'd the events in that order. RIP. Fixed for the next patch. Note: (it doesn't change or break anything in how the episode plays out, though, so you're completely fine in that regard!)

"Hello, Ms. Shreeveport." "Excuse me? Who are you?" "In the red again this month..? That's a shame. Does your family know what's going to happen to them now?" "What? How do you..." "Listen. I could help you fix this. Mend some old bridges, keep things off the books, and still let your 'family' here continue... their current lifestyle. Hm? What do you think? Should we continue this chat somewhere a little more... Discreet?" ... "But I... What would you need me to do..." ... Pokemon Em

@ssbCasper for bringing the empire family together and keeping us going. you've had quite the anime arc so far! @StoicStone for your great ideas, pithy banter, and writing... and not hunting me down and shooting me when i rewrite your dialogue... @groniack for obvious reasons. so many great ideas would have never been possible without your coding skills, good sir. i'll always feel indebted to you for that. @Swamp King for being the draft league rival i never knew i needed! now go make some back sprites! @Dypatome for organizing our many files and for those celaena sprites w

Episode 2 is almost ready for launch! We've mostly wrapped up our internal beta, but wanted to start our new discord server by giving a few people a sneak peek at what's to come! So if you're interested in playing the episode 2 beta and want to give us some feedback, let us know and we'll send you an early access link to our new discord server!

The amount of attrition you take before the first PC: not an unfair piece of feedback. Now there are actually 4 hidden oran berries, 3 hidden potions, and a hidden min revive. So healing items are there if you look for them. Still, we'll keep tabs on how people feel the experience goes for them. ALSO much more importantly! I changed how the move Ion Deluge works and didn't delete a tiny portion of its pre-existing effect. And that was causing normal attacks to become electric type the first time they're used in battle! I'm so sorry for your Ducklett! This is probably more the caus

Updated to v1.2.2! Changelog: Patched a bug that caused a crash near the Mountain entrance Changed some NPC dialogue to better explain new gameplay features Added a bunch of new crafting items Handful of cosmetic improvements Further refined some trainers and enemy teams Refined some of the starters' base stats Buffed some of the underperforming available Pokemon, such as Pidgey, Cubchoo, and Jigglypuff Added brand new features to Goldeen, Grimer, Jangmo-o, Hoothoot, Patrat, Snover, Charjabug, and Clamperl

The text entries not fitting the window screens is a known bug. We don't currently know the fix for it, because the text doesn't want to shrink or wrap to fit into the boxes. So even relatively short descriptions or entries bleed over, sadly. Ice skaters are on an ice surface, so either they won't be able to move at all or the player will phaze through them. We can only give you one or the other. Fury Attack has been changed: Fury Attack,10A,60,NORMAL,Physical,100,32,0,00,0,abef,"Mauls the target. It breaks barriers such as Light Screen and Reflect." Most of the other bugs you

Haha, you're good. The length of the review speaks to your intent here. And this is actually the type of constructive criticism we're looking for, so thank you for taking the time to play and comment! 1. Good stuff. Helen Keller's already out of the latest version for the same reason. Keeping in Jesus. I'm not a fan of the praise arceus or any other pokemon movement, and in Empire the church(es) will be to God/gods, not legendary Pokemon. We have a lot of moralistic framework for the game, and we don't think the Pokemon themselves offer a substantial foundation for the basis of tho

Version 1.2 is now live! Semi-Quick Patch Notes: New Turbo button! Toggle the ALT key to double your game speed Also the Z key works like Enter, C, and Space like most people expect Fixed bugs on Torment, Relentless, Magic Coat, Incinerate (try incinerating or Tormenting stuff now... You will likely enjoy the results) Shifted trainer experience more linearly: Trainers to the North and West of Polaris are more consistently stronger than trainers to the South and East (except for a notable, well-loved trainer or two) Improved unique trainer battles Reduced grind (no
