I kind of suspected that it might be intentional given their similar meaning. But it isn't annoying at all, I think it contributes to the game's uniqueness.

 

I was wondering if there's a list for the pokemon that were subjected to changes, at least those with changes to their base stats?

We do have an excel/google sheet that list more of the holistic changes, but keeping a changelog for each individual Pokemon would honestly be impossible given how many small subtle changes there are overall, especially to things like when certain Pokemon learn certain moves by level-up.
The best thing we have for now is the PBS file, especially if you just want to look at base stats. If you go into your Empire game folder and click on the PBS folder and open the "Pokemon" notepad file, you can search for any Pokemon with "control F" and find its changes. And if you don't know what a move or ability does, you can find a description in the "Ability" and "Move" notepad folders, respectively, all still within that PBS folder.
Eventually, we'd like to have a website where you can search and find all of this information more neatly, but this is the best we can do for now.
Do note that this game is and will continue to be carefully carefully balanced where everything you catch and raise will be usable and (we think) satisfying. Things like stufful that normally don't learn a fighting move until level 38, will learn one before you reach meaningful level break points (i.e. it will have a fighting move before you have to fight the ice gym leader). So don't be afraid to experiment and let the changes play out for you organically!

Thanks for the finds! Our beta team didn't encounter everything, but I'm glad you guys are enjoying the game so far! Like Stoic said, even though these are quick and easy fixes, we'll wait to see if a handful of bugs come in before sending out an update.
And baleful bunker is actually an intentional misspelling (it's a feature; not a bug lol)! Baleful has a similar meaning to baneful, but we thought it sounded more compelling. You may see other moves or abilities here and there that have their names slightly changed. Sorry if it's a bit irksome!

(current release: Episode 3 "Dust to Dust")

(est. playtime: 13-16 hours)

 

What is right and wrong? How do we address war, racism, education, politics, good and evil, and the human nature itself? And who gets to decide? Welcome to the Telius region, only months removed from a bloody civil war sparked by King Tobias II. A once benevolent man who ruled through the guidance of many noble families, he ushered in an era of prosperity and industry. But eventually he plunged the region into division and violence and in the end was overthrown by his own people. Amidst the ensuing turmoil, a new oligarchy of representatives has seized power, supported by the revolutionaries that overthrew the king's regime. This "Council" is now overseeing the reconstruction of the region and establishing a new Pokémon league of hand-picked leaders that oversee the various towns and cities of Telius. But even under this supposed new stability, old fissures remain. Many Telian citizens are resistant to change, harbor old grudges, and don't trust this new league and how it seeks to reshape their daily lives. Many remain loyal to the longstanding traditions of the old nobility. This nobility and their soldiers, now on the outside looking in, has adopted the moniker 'Team Royale'. Operating from the shadows and seeking to help Telian citizens on an individual level, they are intent on restoring the region to its former glory days under a better king. So with the region weary and divided, how will Telius move into the future? Enter YOU the player: the child of a noble family, you were sent away before the war began. Now that the war has ended, you, along with your best friend Alanah, return to Telius to fulfill a promise to conquer this new Pokémon league and help bring Telius into harmony and stability once more. Can you solve the mysteries of the war, work your way through the shadows of the past, and become champion of the Telius League? Will you support the Council, fight for the Royale Loyalists, or take matters into your own hands? How will you define your legacy in Pokémon Empire?

Pokemon Rebalanced:
Every Pokemon has a niche that distinguishes itself from its competitors (like all the route 1 birds or regional fish Pokemon). There are meaningful tradeoffs in stats, typings, movepools, and abilities between similar species. Do you go with Onix's massively buffed base stats or Geodude's vastly superior movepool? Does your team need speed control and healing from Furret, good coverage and parting shot from Watchog, or raw power and survivability from Gumshoos?
There are tons of new ways to use old favorites, but all changes are designed to buff the Pokemon at every stage of your playthrough in ways that support their lore, theme, and aesthetic. Pokemon gain and change typings, moves, and abilities only when it helps them in meaningful, lore-friendly ways. Voltorb is now Normal/Electric because not only does it help it carve out a more unique niche among other Electric-types, but it also gains rapid spin (a move it should've always had) and STAB on its self-destruct moves. Again, only changes that are balanced and enhance its gameplay fantasy in a lore-friendly way.

 

 

Fakemon:
Only a few fakemon species will be added each episode. These are all specifically and carefully designed to fill unused or underused type combinations OR to fill specific niches that currently don't exist (such as Pokemon to make weather teams more interesting, or a physical attacking Ice/Ghost-type drain tank).

[[E18] Un-stuck Me! The save file fixing thread]

Thank you so much! That was so fast and you guys are so wonderful! 

[[E18] Un-stuck Me! The save file fixing thread]

I defeated Terra and don't have the tm for Waterfall, so I can't progress in the storyline. I have the same problem as someone else where I apparently confronted Blake on the mountaintop without first visiting him in his room, so I never received the Yes/No scene where he supposedly trades you waterfall for the ruby ring. And now I can't fight Aster for it either and Eclipse's dad still won't say anything. So I'm completely stuck and my old save files before Radomus and between Luna and half-way through the Glitch Field are nowhere to be found on my computer. Here's my current game data. Would appreciate any help! Thanks.
