[Desolation Devs Q&A Thread! [EP6 Edition]]

Hey guys  (hope Q&A's still open) 
I'd like to thank you for all the work you're doing , the game's undoubtedly amazing! 

 

1. Difficulty balances 
This can be purely subjective, but I felt that ep.6 went super smooth for me in difficulty ** maybe a bit more than desired** (although the QoL changes were very welcome).
I'm sure difficulty is a strange area, but I do feel some spikes here and there would raise the hype. 
Are there any plans regarding harder gameplay?

 

2. Darkrai and Desolation. 

Spoiler

Up to Spring 2023, my mind was Desolation was Darkrai , though possibly this was not the developer's concept.
All the escalation up to ep.5 finale was just OMG WOW.
Ep.6 introduced many new aspects, characters like Walden / Reeve , the "Voice" etc which was all definitely and by all means very well structured. 
But I'd like to see the game loyal to the original vibe - ^{<where the did Lilith go??! > .} Damn even the cover change got me xD.
On the other hand, I'm sure in your perception Desolation is more and should be about more. 
Any of your views on this? How to you balance between great ideas for future episodes  and the "sequel effect"?
 

 

3. Legendaries 

Spoiler

So far Legendaries have been implemented in truly amazing way - backstory, scattered throughout progress, where they can be part of one's team, 
instead of all clogged up in endgame poke-volley.
I know it's impossible if not undesired to apply this to all, even their number contributed to the "rareness" element.
It's nice to see their points in time with context and the whole "legendary vibe" , especially for some notable ones   ^{(<3 to early generations )} 
Are there plans to continue in this fashion ? What are your views?      
Will it possibly be intertwining with the game route player's choices?

Hi. Two things to note here real quick. 

 

1) This is a thread for Major/Fatal bugs. This means you only should report bugs here if they hinder your progress in the game aka from a softlock or consistent crashes. This would be more suited for the Minor Bugs thread.

 

2) We have mentioned this before, but incase you are unaware (which is fine!), Due to the change in Engine and how Data is stored from EP5 to EP6, some Pokemon's Abilities have changed, we apologise for this but it's just how it is! You can use ability capsules to edit these.

 

sorry

[Episode 6 Discussions]

There is a weird thing about key items in ep. 6

 

Spoiler

Specifically, the "Black Dress Scrap" from ep.5 disappeared, and a "Strange Coin" appeared in ep.6.
Should i care?  It seems like something about the reworked pre-6 material
 

 

[Major/Fatal Bugs]

(may have been reported already : )

 

Some Pokemon abilities altered after update

Spoiler

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Was not able to relate it with specific pokemon or hidden abilities.
Note the 3 Pikachus. 2 kept their abilities the 3rd lost it.

 

(game updated to latest version 6.0.10)

[Major/Fatal Bugs]

Lvl 1 Pokemon ( hatched eggs ) have become lvl 0.
Summary screen on Togepi crashes the game, not on Rufflet.
Exp Share works. After they lvl up, no crash on summary screen.

[-possible MINOR spoilers- I need help finding the brains in Axis High University V13]

Very stupid point in game. 
I was stuck too.
You need to have battles all students, including that one whom you need to answer no to battle.

[e19 appreciation thread]

@Amethyst @Marcello @andracass All the devs having worked on this game, thank you guys very much. <3

It's been years with this game that we really enjoyed, loved (and hated. our relationship is intricate)

I started in 2015 with ep.14 and loved each phase of this. About 15 years after playing Gold Version i was back again hooked with my Pokeballs xD

Looking forward to see rejuv and even more deso

Thank you for all the work done for Reborn and for the final release. <3
 

[randomizer download!!!!1!@!]

 

@andracass I'm a bit confused with the mechanics: 

Once i run it for a given national number , the predictions run perfect but they collapse when generation changes : 

For example : 
Bulbasaur became Bellspout (#069) , charmander became gothitelle (#576)  and squirtle taillow (#276)
Therefore my Base is 69 and my modifier is 169

So pidgey (#016) should become marill (#183) -and it does

or ratatta (#0190 should become skrelp (#690)- and it does

 

Why does #152 become #302 (instead of #571) ??

Or why does #252 become #793 (instead of #524) ??

 

Does the base change for every generation?

[[finished trade] 3 missing]

Okay. The episode is "supposed to have all pokemon available" but im frustrated to see many un-available in the middle of the whole pokedex quest

I have actually caught them all and i'm missing 3 , which as far as i know are no longer available .  <grumpy>   <grumpy>

Anyone who can help or trade please help:

 

- Misdreavus (or Mismagius)      < yes , i did the event that long ago that a Gastly came out, and no i didnt like the second one on R4 mountain >

- Natu  (or Xatu)                         < its funny how a xatu-resembling pillar does not give Natus>

- Whismur  (or any evolution)    < yes i did give loudred back in the Mega ring quest- It was supposed to be legendrary rare so i should have bred -.->

 

-Thanks 

                      

P.S

If anyone can also trade a Lileep (or Cradily) and an Anorith (or Armaldo) that would be super appreciated.

I have spend days searching for their fossils with no luck .
