Hey y'all! We have a big ole announcement! Introducing... The Pokemon Desolation Community Shiny Project! Yes that's right you heard it here, we at the Desolation Dev Team want to customise every single Shiny Pokemon in the game, but we are busy at work fixing bugs and looking to begin development soon for Episode 6 So this is where you come in! We are opening the floor to the community to essentially create Shinies for every single Pokemon in the game! (including Gen 8! use the >> Gen 8 Sprite Pack << *NOTE* we are not adding Gigantamax Forms) So... how do you even get round to submitting your Shinies? LET ME TELL YOU! Below are two very important links! One is to the Shiny Project document and the other is to the Google Form where you can Submit your Shiny Sprites, let me go into detail about these links. First is the Shiny Project document which is linked >>>>> (Not Here, its done) <<<<< This is essentially a Checklist to keep track of what Pokemon have received a brand spanking new Shiny! Use this to check to see if a Shiny you want to submit has already been submitted The document is split into Generations (Ordered by National Dex) with Regional Variants, Megas, Silvally Forms (please submit cool Silvally forms like in Reborn/Rejuvenation) and Arceus Forms (they dont have to be wild, but yeah go nuts if you want lol) having separate tabs. When a Shiny has been approved by us, the development team, I will be updating the document, so make sure you keep an eye out! Second is the Google Form which will be used to SUBMIT YOUR SHINIES which is linked >>>>> HERE <<<<< Answer the questions on the Form in order to submit your Shinies You can submit as many Shinies as you want! but the Form is limited to 10 uploads per response so take that in mind. **NOTE** When submitting Shinies, We would like the entire Evolution Line to be submitted along with Backsprites and Gender Differences. This is because if for example, One person creates a Litten Shiny and someone else creates a Torracat Shiny, they may look completely different and continuity is lost. We will not be accepting single Shinies if they are apart of an Evolution Line, If more than one person has worked on a set of Shinies, please submit this as one Response and link all names who contributed. The Project is being completed in Generations. Starting from Generation 1, we will NOT be accepting Shinies from later Generations until the previous Generations have been completed. For example if we are currently accepting Shinies from Generation 2, we will NOT accept a Shinies submitted from Generation 4 UNTIL we reach that stage. If a Pokemon has an Evolution in another Generation, please do still create Shinies for them and submit, they will be reviewed and accepted regardless for continuity sake (if we accept them) PLEASE SUBMIT PNG FILES Current Generation - Generation 8 **ALSO** If you plan on submitting a Mega Evolution, we would prefer if you submitted Shinies for the whole line, for example if you wanted to submit a Shiny Mega Beedrill, we would prefer it if you submitted Shinies for the whole Weedle Line! (I know this may mean making a second Response, but just make sure you have the same name so we know it's your Shinies!) Arceus Forms can be different however we would prefer if they were all similar (like the base, use Reborn's as an Example) with a few differences, so if one person is up for the task go for it! Remember we will be having the Final Say, we appreciate everyone who has taken the time to create Shinies and submit them however if we ain't feeling them, they will not be included in the game. This also means that we may adjust a Shiny slightly if we really want it however one aspect is putting us off (for example, Eye Colour, few Pixels etc) If two Legendaries for example Solgaleo and Lunala are meant to be "grouped together" (Shiny Wise mainly), for continuity purposes we would prefer it if the person who creates one of these Shinies would create the other pair! When you submit a Shiny, please try to label it properly. What I mean by this is that, when the game checks for a Shiny Sprite, it'll look for the Pokemon Number with the letter "s" at the end, for example Charmander's Shiny is labelled "004s" and "004sb", if theres a female version for example with Venusaur, then it should be labelled "003fs" and "003fsb". This will save me a lot of time when filtering through the Shinies and putting them into a folder for the Shiny Pack! One last thing... PLEASE USE THE BASE SPRITES IN THE DESOLATION FOLDER FOR WHEN YOU MAKE SHINIES. **WE WILL ALSO NOT BE ACCEPTING** - Half Pixels (Please check your Shinies before you submit, if we notice several Half Pixels, we will not approve of your Shiny, we will have the final say!) - Blatant Video Game/Series References (We do not mind a slight reference to a series, however if its extremely obvious we will not be approving, Shinies relating to other Pokemon Fangames are fine, just don't go over the top with them) - Over-saturated/Too Bright (If it hurts our eyes to look at, we won't accept it) That's about it, we can't wait to see what you all come up with and submit! From Desolation inspired Shinies to a custom palette! From the Desolation Dev Team we once again want to say a major Thank You for all the support everyone has given us with the release of Episode 5, its been a wild ride and we can't wait to bring more to you soon! *One More Thing* I will be updating the document every Sunday so check around 12pm BST on this day to see what has changed on the checklist! (lmao)

no. if someone wants to make an item guide, feel free to do so and I will pin it lol

next episode, there will be a major earfquek which causes lando to get angy and forces you to battle it 22 times before you have a chance to ca,, shit i spoiled the plot.

So its been about a week since we dropped Episode 5 so its about time to drop the Obtainable List! So here.. go nuts. Use this thread as a place to ask each other where Pokemon are located (saves you asking in the AMA and on the Main Thread :D) Also to note, if someone wants to make a Location Guide for the Game, feel free! We will not personally be making one due to focusing our efforts on other aspects of the game so if you want to make one like Reborn's or Rejuvenation's then go for it! I do not mind at all pinning it for easy access for everyone! If you find a Pokemon that hasn't been listed on this list then please let me know, this took a good while to make and I made consistent edits due to changing Pokemon around, so its likely I've missed some.

yeah just dm me

hi firstly if you are encountering a bug, please post it in the Troubleshooting Section in the club. secondly, this has been fixed, have you downloaded the recent patch?

send me your save and ill do it for you

Download the patch. This has been fixed, if the problem still occurs, let us know

Hiya so I realised the problem, for some reason it was asking for "1500 or more" instead of the set price of 800, this will be updated in the next patch but for now here, just download this map and replace it with the "existing map" in your Data Folder.Map108.rxdata

I'll answer this, I decided last minute to axe the Scyther Egg from the Den, you can no longer get Scyther (til a later ep ofc). Reasons for this is that 1) It was too strong against Rosetta primarily and other battles in ep5, and 2) Hardy might have a Scizor but I thought it didn't make that much sense for him to be carrying a Scyther Egg around, so now he drops something else! Don't worry Scyther will be back but for now he is dead. I killed him.

I've mentioned this before but we don't have a public Desolation Discord, we do however hang around in the Reborn Discord! (we have a Desolation channel there also). There is also a private Desolation Discord which is only available for our Patreons (well Caz's I'm just saying ours because we work on the game lol), if anyone wants to know if theres a way to support Caz more, his Patreon link is located in the Desolation ep5 Thread!

Hey guys heads up. This AMA is more relating to questions about development, key aspects of the game and fun questions to ask us at the dev team, this is not intended to be used to ask about in-game content, for example "wheres this key" or "is this TM/Pokemon available". Please if you want to ask questions about in-game stuff, go to the Discussions Section. If more questions are asked about in-game stuff, then I will be locking this thread, thank you.

could you send me your save, (if you updated to the recent patch dated 05/07/2020 then I think I know whats up)

Hiya, So I have moved your post to the correct section firstly... Secondly this has been fixed, please make sure you have downloaded the latest patch before reporting! Thank you

*stares* yes it is Hardy! (and also Scarlett to an extent) download the latest patch is what you should do, since this has been fixed!

lmao, appreciate it! we are happen you enjoy the new content! To answer your questions: 1. F 2. We have more stuff in store and planned out! we will be looking to add them in the future but I don't know if we will be doing a poll lol. 3. So I've mentioned what our plan was before, for episode 5 it was mainly focusing on Character Revamps (Designs/Polish Ups/Overhauls) and Balance (Trainer Teams and Money). For Episode 6, we will be looking into maps and tilesets, some maps we have plans on remaking since they are slightly outdated. 4. Well considering the currently branches in the story...//shot sorry caz dont kill me please 5. My favourite HAS to be Hardy, his character development is great, and I'm loving his overall background (also Amelia because damn Ruby redesigned her and made her look incredible). Soon

Yeah as mentioned above, the only EV resetting mechanic currently in the game are the EV berries you can buy in the Manor, we may look into a potential "EV Resetter" as a Cellia Manor Upgrade though. Not 100% certain on this but it should be all fine? since all the save data are the same savefiles, it should work fine.

hiya! yes it does! just make sure you don't open you save in Odis Village or the Manor Basement, save in the Wildlands before you patch.

As mentioned on the main post in this thread, Move IDs were adjusted when we updated to Gen 7 and thus a bunch of moves have been changed/wiped from existing movesets. This is a bug we cannot fix so you need to either use the move relearner or teach it a new move via TM. Apologies for any inconvenience!

alright, we'll look into it then

I've fixed this and its evident in the new patch, cheers anyways! Have you updated to the latest patch (5.0.5)? Because we have fixed this but wanna know if its still happening lol

There isn't a separate discord server however we are hanging about in the Reborn Discord Server if you wanna join and say hi! also we have a discord server for Caz's patreon which is technically a discord server for the game :']

Oh cool! I had a feeling it might have to be with your computer aka your gpu, its a shame but least you can play it with good fps :] No worries! hope you continue to enjoy the game!
