So far, out of the five pedestals in Amethyst Grotto, only two have shown. One after getting the second badge and the other after getting 12 badges. The other three is still blank. Makes me wonder eventually if all five will be revealed.

I have not tried using Android since I do not have one. I've heard that Joiplay does let users play games from RPG Maker. But unfortunately I won't be of much help there. Even the user, Ice Cream Sand Witch (ICSW), isn't used to that feature. Again, apologies for not being able to troubleshoot this specific case. (For a second, I thought I got an email, but apparently not. This is the public club. )

When Gen VIII starters eventually releases, the first thing that comes to my mind is Grookey. I heard it’s hidden Ability is Grassy Surge? If so, having a Pokémon that always start the battle with Grassy Terrain seems just as awesome as Protean and/or Speed Boost. It kinda invalidates any and all such fields that is supposed to be set on. I think that effect isn’t permanent, though, it’ll probably wear off after 5 turns (8 turns if terrain extender is held).

That’s a testament as to why Greninja was banned to Ubers on Gen VI. Very few Pokémon can out speed Greninja‘s base 122 speed. Maybe Talonflame, Weavile, or Swellow might out speed and deal chip damage? Not too sure, Greninja almost have anything covered despite 4MSS. Might be a good idea to show them what your team is...

Most of the time where the player walked on trees, those are some of the hardest decision I made regarding passability. If I block the trees like this: xxx xxx xxx xxx then there might be some areas where you can’t get by. While with 000 xxx xxx xxx you can get past tight areas, but you’ll see the player “walk thru walls” on trees.

I recall ICSW mention somewhere on the update that Cute Charm now works against any gender regardless. So I guess Attract and other move (forgot what it’s called that lowers SpA by 2 stages) are probably intentional.

That’s interesting. I almost wanted to make a double battle in Spork Forest Guardian regarding those weather trio, but because I just realize I just saw a couple minutes ago, luckily I’ve already made them into single battles. But yeah, hopefully she knows how to fix that.

And then we get to moves that may have been duplicated such as Sacred Sword and Surf. One of them is the correct type while the other is a Normal Type move without battle animations.

Like what the others said, I really liked the redesign of Goldenwood Town; it looks far more realistic! And looks like we get to control Melia again for a while. Hope the battles aren’t too hard (level wise) since the level cap is still stuck at 85.

I’m glad you’ve enjoyed Pokemon Spork. ICSW will also be glad to hear this. Also, if you haven’t already, There are some side stories related to Spork made by ICSW: -Delicia’s Delicious Dreamland -Delicia’s Return to Dreamland made by me: -Forest Guardian (the difficulty of this side story is much harder) Stay strong. Things will eventually get better with time.

It should be on Route 2 during the day, not nighttime. And I recall the encounter rate for Dedenne is low.

Looks like I’m late to the party, but better late than never. Just wanted to give my two-cents regarding an inquiry about whether or not to play Pokémon Spork. The beauty of fan-games made via RPG Maker is that you can do a lot of things in terms of eventing. You can make a extremely simple adventure (like Spork) or make it so complex that the decisions you chose could have an impact of the game’s true ending (like Reborn, Desolation, or Rejuvenation). Pokémon Spork seems to lean towards being a pretty relaxing adventure as if you are playing a regular Pokémon core-series games. There is no level caps regarding obedience from all Pokémon (though I recall traded Pokémon in core-series games can disobey if your Pokemon went over the level) and also no Field Effects (except from already established ones in the core series games such as Misty, Grassy, Electric, and Psychic), so you should have no problems going through this adventure. To share an analogy, if there was a Pokémon game which is extremely similar to Pokemon Spork, I have to say that it’s on par with Gold/Silver/Crystal along with their remakes of HeartGold and SoulSilver. These are one of the few games where it contains 16 badges, and that’s because there’s two regions to explore (Kanto and Johto). Spork and other fan games has 18 badges to cover, so that’s not too far off. And as far as villainous team goes, I guess Team Portal would be the equivalent of either Team Yell or Team Skull since, I believe, they’re only slightly causing trouble, but not to the point where you see any type of destruction or majorly unethical actions that would affect the entire region. So if there’s someone who absolutely never played Pokémon before and wanted to play a Pokémon fan-game, Pokemon Spork would definitely be the first choice of start your adventure. The A.I. Pokémon Teams are appropriately leveled so that it gives you an idea of when to grind, and luckily, there are lots of Pokémon Breeder with their team of Audinos using S.D. Attacks designed to Knock Out itself and give you massive EXP (though I still think Blissey gives far more EXP than Audino, I would have to experiment that). Some of the Pokémon’s movesets are somewhat optimized for major characters while most regular trainers have Pokémon whose learnset is based on what level they’re at, as it stores the four most recent level up moves if no other info is added in trainers.txt (tldr they’re not optimized). IVs can become 31/31/31/31/31/31 like Champion Cynthia from DPPt but no EVs are specifically assigned since the most Essentials can automatically set is 85/85/85/85/85/85 for a grand total of 510 EVs if the Pokémon is level 57 or more, so their stats are also unoptimized. As far as dialogue goes, I think some NPC made clear where to go next, so there isn’t a time where I get stuck on somewhere. Oops, I was rambling into making a review of that fan game, but my point still stands that this would be the first fan game to play if you haven’t played any Pokémon game before or just fed up with intense difficulty Reborn and Rejuvenation provides (since they optimize everything). I see that you already have played those intense games, and I can see why you might not like it, and that’s okay. I know I have some of my stuff that I would either invest on or put it to the side. It’s also hard for me to recommending something because I don’t know what people exactly want. As for me, I enjoyed Pokémon Spork the moment I started playing it last year (July 2019), and it was extremely fun and enjoyable, to the point where I recorded 4 separate adventures on my YT, making some fan arts of Spork related characters, made one appreciation post, and (even extreme) made a side story related to Spork with the goal of making it as hard as possible (which I hope would be the most difficult side story in terms of team composition). And even to this present day, I still got work to do! At the end of the day, ultimately, what matters the most is whether you are willing to enjoy your experience. Our insight and thoughts can only go as far.

I was not going to post anything in this playthrough and let it be archived on November, but something did come up on my private emails. This playthrough is still on hiatus, and I don’t have plans to return to this Moonblast only run at the moment. I’m currently working as much as I can on Forest Guardian since there will be a time where existing characters are Going to be written off extremely soon and transition into a different arc. I also don’t know what the next arc would be, but after the reupload, this side story would cover up to 10 badges. While I’m at it, I also made a 1280x720 wallpaper of that same intro that I just made. GlitchXCity’s BW2 Route 19 remix is too good to pass up, and so it’s gonna replace the OST of Anistar City remix, also from her.

I miss the days where Adam has blue hair on the Terujama arc, but I guess change isn’t the easiest to adapt.

Lv20 Brionne VS Venam’s team on casual is still hard. I had to use a Super Potion to survive.

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!
