    it is in the devnav

    I think what they're saying(coming from someone that's experienced it), is that if you change the time in certain areas you cannot find any encounters in the grass at all. 

     

    For example, in the Terajuma selecting Evening will result in no encounters appearing at all. You can run around in the grass however long you'd like, nothing will show. If you attempt to force encounters by using a pokemon with sweet scent for example, nothing will show either. 

     

    This happens mostly in areas past Terajuma though, I didn't encounter this prior to that. 

     

    On the flip side though, you can essentially use this to be free of encounters in certain areas, so that's neat. 

     

    Edit: Also if you're curious, I removed every other mod besides Time Control when I ran into this issue and was testing it out.

    is there like a shelly puzzle guide or do i have to wacth a video also thanks for all the puzzle answers!

    Nah, there isn't. Never really thought about making it, and I'm unsure about how clean and understandable it'd be if I did make it. Sorry about that.

    Hey man, I can't thank you enough for this. I was having trouble following my sketches for Azurine Lake Underwater Towns.

    But:

    I see you don't mention the 4th town Faeward. Not much to do there now, but will definitely be important in the final episode, having a locked house itself. Maybe it's worth at least mentioning it.

     

    Either way, you are a life saver for people like me, who uses Itemfinder on every inch of every map.

    In the future if something gets added there I'll definitely make sure to add a map of it here. 

  3. If your Blaziken had bulk up you could have easily swept her with that alone.

     

    Otherwise you could probably send in ampharos, maybe get lucky with static on her mienshao, and set up a rain dance. You could then send in your noivern and spam hurricane for some big damage, that the rest of your team can follow up on.

  4. I made this a few months back and I completely forgot I had this. I just copy and pasted it from google sheets, so hopefully it looks alright. 

     

    Would appreciate some checkups on this as well to make sure it's accurate. Also I didn't include potential 1 time steals from event mons(so for example, Lunatone in the Amethyst Cave could hold some stuff). 

     

    Think the rest is pretty self-explanatory. Left side is the earliest you could potentially steal the items, while the right side is the best odds(calc'd from encounter rates, or how many pokemon in the area might be holding it, or in certain circumstances how accessible the pokemon are). If you're looking to make your steals as painless as possible, make sure to have a Pokemon with the Compound Eyes ability in the front of your party.

  5. Someone asked me about a month ago if I'd post what I had. It's not much like I had for Reborn honestly but I kept forgetting. If these are unnecessary you're welcome to delete the topic, or otherwise. You're also free to use these as you may see fit.

    TBH that just sounds like a PBS formatting error to me (i.e a bug). False was probably supposed to be for one of the other fields like shininess with nickname left blank, but some of the values probably got shifted from a missing/extra comma or something.

    Weren't the EVs for Florin's Sceptile messed up a bit as well? I think all the fields got shifted over one or something, if I remember right.

    I think Rejuvination does it right. Don't look if you haven't played yet.

    When you try to escape the castle and your faced down with madam X. You had just gotten to battle alongside your mother to help you bond with her then when madam X tries to kill you. your mother gets in the way and dies instead. Despite this your forced to keep fighting for a bit but after it'sover, there is a time skip that is explained that your character had locked themselves up in their room on the boat, mourning the loss of their mother. That just hit me so much harder then this did.
     

     

     

    Eeh, these are different situations with different goals.

     

    Rejuvenation's main character is allowed to mourn, and that's the goal. This is supposed to compel the player to mourn alongside the MC.

     

    In Reborn, the MC is supposed to be filled with grief, dread, sadness, possibly hopelessness yet not have any time to express those. This is meant to make the MC's struggle harder(try doing anything with any sort of emotional burden, it can make even the simplest tasks slightly more difficult). This is the purpose of this story point, and these are the feelings that the player is supposed to be feeling through the MC.

     

    The problem is Pokemon MC's don't really speak(aside from a few certain moments). Combined with the fact that the puzzle as an antagonistic force is simply an object that doesn't speak either and it's really hard to get these feelings through to the player.

     

    There's no indication of how the MC is feeling at this time which in turn doesn't really bring out the right feelings from the player.

    The game is supposed to feel like real life and deals with complex themes.

     

    No time to sit and mourn, gotta grind and get the rest of your friends out of trouble.

    Pretty much this, although I can kinda agree that perhaps puzzles weren't the best way to showcase it as puzzles aren't exactly the best antagonistic force. The puzzle itself doesn't give you the vibes of "Well, this sucks, but that's life. Gotta deal with it and keep moving forward." 

     

    When I think of the whole in-game characters/player wanting to mourn yet having to do other things, I tend to think of a specific moment during Final Fantasy 15. At some point the main character wants to mourn the loss of his fiancée despite the fact that he has duties and obligations to continue moving forward. If the situation were left on it's own with him struggling to cope and deal, it wouldn't be that interesting, nor would it invoke as much feeling from the player as it did when it instead allowed the two older mentors to push him forward towards his obligations(along with the other issues).

    At long last! Temtem will finally be updated tomorrow! Kisiwa will open it's doors and the hype is real!

     

    Full information of new features and what's to come: https://crema.gg/temtem/kisiwa-is-releasing-tomorrow-along-with-the-chat-club-management-and-more/

     

    New trailer: 

     

      Hide contents

     

     

    I'm honestly so excited. Never stopped playing since release and I feel a lot of potential on this game. Other than that, it's just generally so much fun to play. Did ya'll see that climbing gear? They aren't fooling around here 👀

    That climbing gear and (no idea what to call it, it was some sort of psyfi grapple) looked sick! 

     

    Not just from an aesthetics either. I mean Pokemon themselves were going down this route with how the bike acted in Gen 8, but this builds waaaay more onto the concept of still having unique means of movement and progression that aren't necessarily limited to the creatures in the game.

  10. So this is what we've got from the 9:00 EST Premier on 6/24/2020. Pokemon Unite, in other words a Pokemon MOBA(Multiplayer Online Battle Arena). 

     

    I might edit a write up in here later about how the gameplay actually functions, but for now the big details are that Tencent the company that owns Riot Games the creator of the MOBA League of Legends is involved. The gaming studio provided by Tencent for the production of Pokemon Unity isn't Riot however, but one called TiMi Studios. The game is to be released on the switch as well as on mobile with cross functioning between both.

     

    Here's some other information that I've dug up that wasn't mentioned in the videos below.

     

     

    Last year(2019) it was announced in July that TPC and Tencent were collaborating on a game together(with Tencent's TiMi Studios being the ones behind development). TiMi Studios was likely chosen for this project due to their experience with creating mobile games(and going back into 2016 mobile x switch games such as Arena of Valor). 

     

    The primary reasoning that this was made a completely separate announcement from the announcements made last week is likely due to the fact that some of the games that were a part of last weeks announcements are banned in China. Seeing as how TiMi Studios is Chinese(not to mention Tencent, the company of which they are a subsidiary of is also Chinese) and the fact that this is a MOBA game, which tend to be extremely popular, it makes sense that this announcement would be separated from the rest in order for it to be allowed in China.

     

    Apparently a big benefit from having Tencent as an ally of sorts is achieving a degree of control within China itself. There are a lot of Chinese "bootleg" Pokemon games, as well as anything that's infringing on Pokemon's intellectual property that's utilizing servers hosted in China. [Take this with a grain of salt, this is a personal experience and I may not remember things correctly. For example, many, many years ago I played a Pokemon "MMO" called Pokemon World Online. It had been taken offline due intellectual property reasons, but it began using servers within China to stay online, and this protected it.]

    A bit about Tencent and why we shouldn't support Tencent or organizations involved with Tencent(Provided by @Zro567)-
    1444690257684.jpg
    TLDR for this image; Tencent is a large conglomerate with considerable influence over numerous companies and organizations(owning large shares with them). Tencent is responsible for large amounts of censorship within China, and is pro-CCP. 

     

     

     

    ———

    Thoughts on the first Pokemon MOBA? [Legit can't think with the commotion in the discord, figured a topic would make it cleaner.]

     

    The Premier

     

     

    The Advertisement Video

     

     

     

    I'll drop my own personal thoughts down here in a spoiler just so others can have their own thoughts in peace without any influences.

    Spoiler

     

    It's got the Pokemon label on it. It's going to do well to a certain degree. TPC is obviously out there to make money, Tencent is obviously out there to make money. You can't blame them for that. 

     

    What you can blame them for is whether or not this will be fun(I enjoyed League until S5 and I'm not going to deny this a chance due to bias), I don't think this is a fit for the Pokemon community. MOBAs are toxic. Toxic beyond anything of what you might encounter on Pokemon Showdown. This is going to sound hypocritical considering I'm posting this on forums dedicated to a Pokemon fan game that deals with topics that are a bit too mature for the main line games, but I don't think this is a good mix. Between the already toxic AND more experienced MOBA players from other communities potentially jumping into this game and simply the amount of toxicity that MOBAs tend to promote, I don't think this is going to be healthy at all for most casual Pokemon fans. TPC sold its community out for this.

     

    I don't know if they even thought about the implications of this. Maybe they're just looking for the next "Pokemon GO" and they're throwing everything they can come up with at a wall until something sticks. You can blame them for this, wholeheartedly. In some ways, I get the feeling TPC is forgetting what attracts us to various Pokemon games, and what makes them do well. It isn't just the characters. It's the content of the games itself of which the characters are only a tiny portion of. 

     

    TPC could also be wanting to break into the MOBA industry hard with this. Maybe they want to get into esports. If this is the case, then it makes me ask the question, are the events we hold for the training card game, VGC, and Pokken not enough for them?

     

    This is what I can say without bias. Obviously adding bias in I'm just extremely upset at the moment because this just wasn't what I was expecting. I wasn't really part of the crowd hoping for Let's Go Johto or Sinnoh Remakes. I saw the premier length, I knew this had to be big, and it had to be something else. I just wasn't ready for this reveal. 

     

    Edit:

    After learning a bit more about Tencent, I'm not sure if this is something I want to support. I also glanced back at the previous lengths of premiers for remakes or Let's Go Pikachu/Eevee and I can see why people had thoughts that yes, maybe this was something along those lines, even if it didn't feel like the right time for that kind of announcement.

    And what are the odds for it? The same as Reborn, right?

    That I don't actually know. I would assume so since for the most part the mining items in Rejuvenation seem to mimic those in Reborn. I don't recall struggling or soft resetting for it a whole lot. 

     

    RNG is RNG though, so you could also get unlucky when hunting for it.

    Could you include the solution for how to get out of the Pokemon prison in the Blacksteam Factory's basement?

    Yeah sure. It won't be anything flashy(for now) but I'll put that, the solution for grabbing the rare candy, and grabbing Ditto up there.

     

    Edit: It's done.

    Get a jolly Decidueye and train it in speed and attack, don't change the field against Narcissa, Decidueye can probably destroy most of her team with shadow sneak and spirit shackle.

    Don't forget that you are super effective against her and you can take advantage of the field, you are doing a ghost monotype, show her what TRUE POWER IS.

    Good luck against Marianette. BUT the battle should not be impossible, there has to be a way, just need to figure what is needed.

    Yeah I'm definitely gonna second this. Changing the field against Narcissa without a Normal type is rough anyways, since there's a good chance she'll spam Spectral Scream which would change it right back. 

     

    There's a ton of ghost moves that can turn the Blessed Field into a Haunted one, so that shouldn't be too bad either.
