Was gonna give this a try, but it seems the download link is busted. I get 404'd every time I try. Aww...
Whoops! I have at least seven different copies stored on my drive and of course the one I delete is the public version.
Spoiler
This is what I get for trying to clean up files instead of hoarding things.At any rate, I've reposted the dl link, enjoy!

Oh thank god, I don't have to give the player brain damage from running their head into trees.
Your first mistake was assuming I wouldn't list you as an honorary playtester. Put on your helmet and start testing tree collision data.

Overview
Perhaps you are wondering where the "Redux" in this game's title comes from. For that, there is a long answer and a short answer.
The Long: Pokémon Pumpkin is my second completed fangame, which I released in 2018. For those who know me from other sites, yes, Pokémon Castaway came out before Pumpkin. However, Pumpkin's development was finished before I agreed to join Relic Castle's Game Jam Four. Michael and I began talking because he
showed up in my DMs demanding to test and I was too shy to say novolunteered to playtest Pumpkin. Things just rolled from there. A full year has passed since then. During that time I've started my most ambitious project yet with Michael, completed another tiny fangame, abandoned two other personal projects, and left the wonderful Pokémon Umbra team to focus on myself. (Alright, that should be enough plugs.) Though this is the long explanation, I won't get into the nitty-gritty. What I will say is that I've been very conflicted since the summer about the quality of my work and what I want my fangames to be. I found myself questioning everything from graphical styles to gameplay mechanics. In the end, I decided that I would remake Pokémon Pumpkin into a game I respect more. Pumpkin will never be perfect, but I wanted to do it a little more justice with the dev skills I have built up over the past year.In addition, I have to give a really big thanks to @Michael_ for all the hard work he put into this game. He helped me revamp trainer sprites, and puzzle out the logistics (or lack thereof) of coding. He dragged me out of the angst (a bit more literally than you'd think) and motivated me to finish this redux.
The Short:
Old game bad. New game less bad.
Visual Comparisons
What does this mean?
1. Can I transfer my save from old Pumpkin to Pumpkin Redux?
Unfortunately, you cannot. There are a number of mapping and eventing differences that will inevitably result in softlocks, bugs, and other sequential problems.
2. Do I need to play old Pumpkin to understand Pumpkin Redux?
Nope! The story's gone through a couple logistical refinements, but it's all the same in the end.
3. I found a bug in the old game, can you help me out?
First of all, don't play the old version if you somehow got ahold of it. The answer is yes, but please DM me rather than posting the bug on the thread. I'd prefer to keep problems with the new game here now, so there isn't confusion.
The Story
The game takes place over a single day, October 31st. Being the sugar-starved child that you are, you convince your overprotective sister to let you set out on a trick-or-treating adventure across the region. Her only condition? (Beyond staying on the path, not seeking out serial killers, and looking both ways before crossing the street.) Be home before midnight. Collect candy, make some unlikely friends, and solve a few mysteries along the way!
Features
Spoiler- A trick-or-treating system
- An informal candy economy: trade your sweets for certain Pokémon, helpful items, and other useful supplies
- A major trainer battle and encounter overhaul to increase difficulty
- Around 8 to 16 hours of gameplay
- A murder-mystery-solving segment
- A walkthrough for the aforementioned murder-mystery segment, should that not be your jam
- Pokémon from up to gen 7
- The plot twist is probably not that you were a real ghost the entire time
- There's uh, probably some semblance of writing in this somewhere

I freaking love this game and I am loving this too! Btw, I'm near the ending of the current demo... and I STILL DON'T KNOW THE DAMN WORD TO TELL THAT WOMAN IN THE KITCHEN! (That sounded more mean than I wanted to but you get what I mean) Btw, why don't you just nickname him Syl? I mean I get why you'd want to go with Sly but Idk. I always shorten it to Syl when I'm reading his name. God help me on how to pronounce his last name though.
(My first comment got longer than anticipated so I'm going to give you a separate reply.)
Spoiler
Welcome to the Riverview Room.
As for pronouncing Syl's last name, Mordecai says it all:
Other 100/10 nicknames that Syl's gotten throughout the course of Present include: You There, Guy with the Scars, Ugly, Silver Vest Man, and Guy Who's Attempting to be a Pirate. But Syl's my go-to as well!

Honestly it was awesome to see all your thoughts and criticisms for Present.
Because nobody plays it so the only feedback we get is about bugs.I read this at, like, two in the morning while in a video call with Michael. I was reaching the point where if I were to write a comment then, it would probably be an incoherent mess by morning. So, I'm doing it now!On the subject of graphics, seeing this version of the game before its latest update makes my eyes sting.
With tears of laughter at how gaudy a lot of it is.I plan to do a big overhaul of the battle and bag UIs with the next big demo release of Present, but for now, it's gonna' be on the bright side.I change UI and title screen for this game with literally every major demo release, I'm beginning to think I have a problem.I'll definitely add the menu screen to my list of things to spruce up at some point.Some Examples of Changes
SpoilerSeriously, soooooooooooooo much has changed.
Tileset Graphics
(Hotel)
(We swapped out those ugly brown Saffron City buildings for custom ones.)
Overworlds and Other Sprites
(We updated the low and mid-ranking gangsters.)
When it comes to puzzle logic and mystery-solving, I'm very interested to see what you think of the remaining cases. (Particularly two and three. Common consensus places them as the hardest of the game, and I personally think they're the worst design-wise.) Case one is definitely tutorial baby zone, with you being kept away from a very open world, and key phrases being highlighted. Without spoiling anything, the set-up of each case has been really experimental throughout the course of Present's development. If you continue playing, I'm curious to know what systems/structures you think work well, and what do not.
Small Notes I Made While Re-Reading
QuoteExcept move NPCs in a diagonal. That'll be a mystery we never solve with RMXP.
There actually are public 8-directional scripts out there for XP. Off the top of my head, I know that Pokémon Shifting Sands uses one, so it seems to be compatible with at least 17.2.
Quote(I don't think there's anything significant about the main character but who knows)
I'm still unsure if Sylvester is going to be a cheesy main protag or actually have a story behind him.
Me: [audible sweating]
SpoilerHe's both.
QuoteSo there's a couple pop culture nods here.
Not gonna' lie, I can only think of one direct pop culture reference in that case.This game doesn't have too many, and isn't meme-heavy. (Assuming we're not talking about references to other games.)QuoteCathy sounds a lot like Catty and she kind of has that bit of personality. I don't usually talk about name choices but sometimes they can be clever.
Cathy's name is a pun off cafeteria as she's a waitress.
Spoiler
This game was originally going to have a much more Ace Attorney-esque naming system, if that makes sense.
Quote(No idea why the "she is" is at the end. I've done that by accident before so it's understandable)
That one's actually not a typo, it's a pattern of speech. But on the subject of typos (and I will not deny that Present has its fair share, because this game is huge) my preferred strategy is to use Essential's text export option to compile it into a txt file. From there, I can transfer it over to Docs or Word and run extra spell/grammar checks.
That and add "ignore spelling" to every Pokémon name.The nice thing is that Essentials will tell you what map ID the text is on. I'm the eventer, so I know where most things are, but this feature still helps. The not-so-nice thing is that it exports doubles of each line for translation purposes.Summing Up
Well, what else can Michael and I say but thank-you? We really appreciate the time you put into this to give some in-depth criticism of your initial impressions of Present. I think you might, uh, spontaneously combust if you tried to do something similar with the later cases. (Cases like four and six are huge, and we have some hefty sidequests as well.) We hope that you continue to play Present on your own terms though!

Hello everyone! I apologize for the poorly coordinated Squirtle gift. Don't worry, though, because I'm here to give you the inside scoop on this silly fool.
This Squirtle's whole idea and lore is from a series of personal events. I have this Squirtle plush that I got long ago. For some reason, I decided to make him a fashionista. I gave him these clothes:
-A New Year's feather headband
-A Batman cape
-A Masquerade mask
-A bead necklace
Eventually, I made the story that he was an ambassador from Germany and was very rich. It was more funny in person, but I thought I should share this story online.
And what better way to do it than a special Squirtle gift.
Excuse me, SCHIGGY. That's Squirtle's German name, by the way.
In-game, his outfit is altered a bit, but is just as ridiculous as the original.
PS: I have no clue why I decided this Squirtle was from Germany. It just randomly popped into my head.
Also PS: I know many want screenshots, but I can't find a way to upload them. I'll keep looking for loopholes, though.
An easy way to show screenshots on a forum is to use a site like imgur to upload your image.
Click the little arrow tab and select "get share links."
Click the copy option for BBCode.
Finally, paste the link you get into your posts. Viola, the images will show!

Sorry, I don't really use my RebornEvo account all that often. I've swapped out the old drive link for the Mediafire Mirror.
Here's also a list of better fangames you can play instead of wasting your time with this one:
