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.

This is one of those battles where their weakness literally got covered multiple ways. While Grass and Water would have been a good choices against her, the desert field (which weakens Water moves) and type diversity like Nidoqueen, Torterra, and Camerupt makes Grass moves not deal SE damage. At this point, you’re going to try to benefit from the field. Dig becomes a one turn move that’s SE against Nidoqueen, Camerupt, and Torterra (due to the Torterra crest inverting Type matchups). If you can get your opponent to use Desert’s Mark against you, the Dig will get STAB! Pretty much you’ll have to fight ground with ground on this gym battle...or I meant, final showdown against Flora. (Even in casual mode it’s still hard. Took me a couple tries based on what I record last July).

What difficulty are you playing? Casual, Normal, or Intense?

I've seen PokeTubers play a randomizer from various Pokémon games, but I've never played a Pokemon randomizer before. This is going to be a whole new experience for me to try.

Bonus clip. VS Kelani using both my Moonblast team and my Forest Guardian team.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5baK8t4Eep0 Embed failed, but episode 9 being season 1 finale due to map revamps ending in Cool Cave. Added some of my maps from Forest Guardian to make Tinder Village be explored.

Another episode. Enigma got a better Pokémon to aide this team, but at the cost of a Pokémon...

Two more episodes until the end of Season 1, that is, where all of the map revamps are shown. Afterwards, I'm going to take a break from this series. Episode 8: VS Raymond and Dylan. Exploring Weather Wonderland. VS Emily & Barker Episode 9: VS Lee. Back home in Tinder Village and VS Lime at Tinder Apex! (Yes, I added some of my maps from Forest Guardian to Spork 8 just to add a bit more story)

We're controlling Little Lime for this episode!

Just a heads up that I might use Jirachi in this playthrough as it also knows Moonblast. However, that’s from a Jirachi event in Japan (2014 Tanabata Shiny Jirachi), which is the only opportunity to get a shiny Jirachi with Moonblast. That event is long gone. I’ve been having trouble against some of the natural weaknesses that Fairies can’t handle, and Jirachi resists both Steel and Poison, so I might be replacing one of the team members. Spoilers on episode 7 since I recorded it just after I uploaded episode 6: I didn’t get a badge and my team is under leveled, even with Lucky Egg.

I got to implement Lime's sprites (since I recently made a back sprite of her), which I would showcase eventually. Oh, and dialogue change of Lime just for this adventure! Psssst, she knows how many times I played this game!

Ok, Roserade. You got me right there. Now I gotta +6 my other Pokémon.
