VinceAndSylveon

I remember recording my Fairy mono-run several months ago on easy difficulty. Had to choose Popplio and only use it until getting the first badge. It was when Route 2 gave me more fairies such as Spritzee and Dedenne, and eventually Sylveon in Sheridan Village. These were good times. Though I don’t think I can replicate my success again. I stopped after Adam.

I wonder what Cella’s staff would look like when infused with Souta’s.

In this case, let me see if my Spork 8 file has Map358. btw, you haven’t tampered with the Data folder, have you? (This map is crucial for the badge) Edit: Giggly Grassland's Map ID is 262. Map 358 is Petilil Prairie. It seems that you're missing this map. Try downloading this map and drag this file onto the Data folder of Spork 8 and load the game. Map358.rxdata

So I saw an archived post of someone posting Spork Appreciation (5/27/2019), and I felt like posting a similar one this year! “I remember the day I downloaded Pokémon Spork on mid-June 2019. Seems like it was yesterday, but it’s 11 months ago! I was looking at other fan games besides Reborn and Rejuvenation that it would be relaxing to play and not worry about optimizing my Pokémon team just to get past a certain part of the game. The fact that there were no level caps and field effects showed a lot of promise, and it was the most fun I ever had than most of the core series Pokémon games. 18 badges that represent every type for each badge means that my adventure length has effectively doubled. But there was one thing Spork had that Reborn and Rejuvenation didn’t. Automatic PBS files and the ability to edit a project in RPG Maker. Granted, tampering some of the events can alter the situation of the game. So I didn’t touch any part of Spork 8, just looking at it as a reference. Then I turn into my eventful side story project. I needed one of the maps from Spork 8 as a starting point, and based on one of my artwork, Tinder Village fits the bill. From that point on, I just put in random chapters that didn’t have to follow the story, if there even was one. It’s just another fun thing to make something after being brave enough to delve into the engine (after backing out a little over 2 years ago) (I seriously got back into the program on July 2019). I don’t think there are other fan games besides Spork atm that could get me heavily invested. I am still looking for ways to make a game I liked the best they can be, whatever it takes. Sure, life gets in the way during the day, but nothing can stop us from enjoying what we like. Here’s to another year of enjoyment.”

Hmm, I’m not sure. There’s some scenarios regarding route 9 1. The guards tell the player that the scholar district is under lockdown 2. The guards left and Erin appears on almost that same spot after you finished chapter 12. 3. You already talked to Erin and Melia and proceeded , or about to proceed, to the Scholar district library and beyond. Number 3 is most likely the case if you already talked to Erin on route 9 and she no longer appears.

Did you try to go to the south of route 9 close to the gate that leads to Scholar District?

Cute artwork on Ballerina Ashley! Is that art gonna be in DeviantArt?

I’ll look into this file when I get home from work, but I can try to briefly explain why that error sometimes happened. So, it has something to do with a certain event in RPG Maker AND the trainers.txt file. The “adding a trainer” happens because I made a new trainer class/name on the event but there’s no info on that said trainer on trainers.txt or that I’ve made a misspelling on the trainer class/name. Happens to me most of the time when I playtest stuff on Spork Forest Guardian/DX. But the way it sounded like is that you’re stuck with this error when you reboot the game. You have to send your save file from your Saved Games folder, which is called “Game.exe”. Don’t delete the trainers.txt yet, I’ll try to compare what you have with my copy of Spork 8. Edit: it seems like you got it to work. Enjoy your adventure!

Another one of those update posts, and sadly, I have to continue saying that this Moonblast only run is still on hiatus because I founded another big thing after Reborn's Randomizer. I actually got Pokémon Rejuvenation randomizer to work, so for the first time, I'll be playing this randomizer on Intense difficulty (also my first time playing this difficulty). I might learn how Jan compose their Pokémon teams from major characters the way they are, and maybe I can do the best I can. It's not like I haven't done any specific teams on Spork Forest Guardian. There's Lime, Felicia, Delicia, ICSW, and Ceolis retaining their original teams (while improving the IV/EV/movesets), and then there's Ryoken, myself, and Bonnie's team composition (albeit with unusual moves, most of them being STABmon like Eruption Charizard and Boomburst Sylveon) (and customized Pokémon like Cyberse Sylveon, Darkfluid, Nancy's Shield Sylveon). But yeah, It'll be another big adventure for me to enjoy (rather than rushing to get videos out like in V11 in late December 2018 and V12 in early July 2019; I pulled a couple all-nighters on those updates to quickly get views). Probably won't happen anytime soon this year for either Reborn's E19 or Rejuvenation's V13, so I can take my sweet time to play certain modes. Also, I'm changing from Private to Public on the last three episodes of Reborn Randomizer as soon as I'm done posting this. P.S. Nancy's Shield Sylveon is extremely resilient (see other previous post in Forest Guardian regarding Shield Sylveon)!

Does it look like this... “The Script is taking too long. The game will restart. Would you like to save the game?” I’ve had that happened very few times in Rejuvenation. There’s not much you can do except save and reload (unless saving it causes a soft lock). Even the YouTuber named Shofu had that happen once when recording Episode 15 during the gauntlet couple years ago (the time one of the team meteor grunts was about to send out Vileplume).

I don’t know how to use Chromebook either...so I’m unable to test things out on different devices.

Do you still have the compressed folder of Spork 8? Maybe try extracting all the files and see if it works again (you must move the other existing unzipped Spork 8 folder somewhere else away from the Documents section). I have not encounter that error at all on the times where I unzipped that folder.

Nothing related to the playthrough, but I gotta put something customized here. North Virima City + Bicycle Circuit! If duelists duel on mototcycles, trainers battle on bicycles in speed battles! I also made Virima Hotel considerable taller than before. They're not accessible, however, due to the limitations of map size unless I choose to extend.

I just finished recording Reborn Randomizer (finished at Hardy) and the progress is still 51%. But I’ll certainly download 18.3 so that I may play another adventure when I feel like it (not that I had any problems regarding performance before).

I recall Shell Trap wasn’t programmed in Spork either. But this Link is actually a pretty good source for programming attacks.

Three weeks since the last post (gotta post something or they’ll archive it six months after the recent post), and I’m still on hiatus of this Moonblast-only run series. I haven’t finished my reborn randomizer and I eventually found a randomizer for Rejuvenation (haven’t tried to see if it actually works atm), so I might have to prioritize that if I can get it to work (and might as well play intense mode on randomizer Pokemon since I’ve never done that before). As far as Spork 8 goes, there’s not much going on, and even if I was given info on what’s going to be eventually added or modified on the next re-upload, I still wouldn’t disclose it. However, there’s only one thing I can share. Victory Road is getting remodeled! I made several maps of Victory Road which gives it more feeling of nature, utilizing Sun, rain, hail, and Sandstorm themed teams, though actual weather may or may not happen. That’s right! Round 2 of Weather Wonderland is being showcased, and I already made a video of that on my channel. The changes I hoped would happen on the remodel is putting the fruit squads where you barely exit from Party City and TM26 just outside of the Pokémon League. And I believe there’s a mythical event outside of the League? That’ll remain the same spot. So that’s pretty much it on Spork 8. As for Forest Guardian, I got one more map to make for Fire Temple and after that, I’m putting my thoughts to Eevee Village. Depending on how much energy I still have after my work hours are done for the day, I may or may not be able to finish as soon as I hope. I’ll see how this plays out. That’s all that I have in my mind for now.

Risa has a Jigglypuff with the same base stats as Naganadel. This could be one piece of hint how Risa Raider could possibly be Freya.

It multiplies the shiny rate by 3x. So that 1.07% becomes 3.21% to get a shiny. I don’t recall if Shiny Charm is in Spork though.

To compare, Hardy’s Dusk Lycanroc is 7 levels above the cap. (97 vs 90).

With the level cap still being 85, I wonder if the levels of Saki’s Team is similar to Ryland, or if her team still goes up by 5 levels... Predictions of Ace Metagross’s Level Casual: 85 Normal: 88 Intense: 93

That's nice to hear! Congrats on getting through this obstacle.

Ok, so I realized I didn't tell anyone what happened to this series, it's because I decided to take a hiatus for a while. The big thing that happened a week or two ago was that Amethyst, Andracass, and others made a randomizer for Pokémon Reborn, as in randomized Pokémon and level up moves. Having never played an actual randomizer before, I decided to take the opportunity to record this Pokémon Reborn 18.2 Randomizer series while it's still new. Also, map revamps of Pokémon Spork ended on Cool Cave, so that was quite fitting to temporary end the series. When I finish my third adventure of Pokémon Reborn, I will hopefully go back to playing Pokémon Spork Moonblast only run. Also, I've been fiddling with Spork Forest Guarding to make new maps and mini-missions similar to Pokémon Ranger Guardian Signs. I tried to follow the same map layout, but that means watching YouTube videos from almost 10 years ago to try and replicate it. Luckily, Pichu647's playlist of Guardian Signs are still there. The workload I placed myself seemed overwhelming, but indirectly thanks to the COVID-19, I get to spend most of the time home in the computer to do as much as I can until everything settles down (which I hope everything settles down so that I can get back to business, as in actual work IRL). That's all I have to mention for now and to let anyone know that I'm still active. (P.S. Hope everyone is alright. Stay strong!)

So far, Sylveon’s the only Pokemon that gave me incentive to EV train to the fullest potential due to perfect IVs. The rest of my team can utilize the 252/252/4 or other spreads, but because of random IVs they sometimes fall short of what they would’ve handle.

And that same Sylveon (with the same level) was used as part of the rift Chandelure quest.

TM28 Dig is in Goldenwood Forest which needs Surf to explore more. I recall picking that up in that forest where the statue of one of the Sinnoh pixies is at.
