Request for Help with Battle Frontier and Ninja Club

[Ines]

Hello,
My name is Ines. I have two problems in the game. The first is that the Battle Frontier is still locked. The second is that the Ninja Club in Tullborn City won’t open.

As for the Battle Frontier:

1. I beat the Ceolis League and became Champion.

2. I went to Planet Disco, battled Ceolis, and won.

3. I brought her to the Sea Star Shrine, listened to her speech, and Brutus said it was time to open the Battle Frontier.

4. In South Virima City, I defeated Rania and she promised to open the Battle Frontier.

5. I found Draga in the Dark Dungeon and helped with the Deino event.

6. I’ve done almost all the rematches, except the ones that take place at the Battle Frontier.

7. I sang all the songs at Lighting Lounge and joined Smoothie (the idol club).

8. I found almost all the Arceus Plates, except for the ones tied to the Smoothie quest (that is, from: Chelsea, DJ Ultra Beats, Isabelle, Gina, and Carol).

9. I’ve caught most of the legendaries.

10. I’ve also done a lot of the sidequests, especially some that aren’t even mentioned in the game files.

Finally, I updated the game to the newest version (strangely, it looked a little different — the first time I downloaded it was April 1st, 2025).
But the guard at Battle Frontier still tells me it’s under construction.

 

As for the Ninja Club:

1. Finished the guard quests in Forest Opening

2. Completed the 10 Ranger trainee battle for 30 Marble in Forest Opening

3. Done the police quests in Olidroll City

4. Finished Raymond’s Slime Man quest

5. Unlocked the BCC building in Bolai Beach

6. Completed the help board quests at the Sea Star Society

But the Ninja Club is still locked. Are there any additional quests or requirements I might have missed?

 

Could you help me with this?

Hello, thank you for your detailed report listing the issues you're experiencing along with all the steps you've taken. From what you've mentioned having done, you've reached the requirements to open both the Battle Frontier and the Ninja Club. The Battle Frontier is meant to open after battling Rania's main team at her Training Gym after the post-Champion story, and the Ninja Club is meant to open after completing all of the police quests in Olidroll City. 

 

I'm going to download your save file now and see if I can find out what went wrong. While I'm doing that, I did have a question. You mentioned that the game looked a little different, and also that you first downloaded on April 1, 2025. The most recent map revamps were around a week before that. Would you happen to remember whether you downloaded from here or from a different site? There are other websites that have download links to Spork, but the ones here on Rebornevo are the only official ones. Other sites that have download links did so without my permission or prior knowledge, and many if not all of them are several years outdated. If you had an older episode from a different site, it's possible there were issues after updating, since a lot about the game has changed. 

 

I'll download your save file now, and I'll post back here once I've done some investigating! 

 

(edit: also, just remembered that you referred to Ceolis as her; Ceolis is male)

Here's your save file! 

 

For the Battle Frontier, the reason it was inaccessible is because I used the wrong switch for the door. I was using a switch that activates after a cutscene within the Battle Frontier, instead of the one that activates after the battle with Rania. I'm surprised this hadn't been reported yet, since this means the Battle Frontier hasn't been reachable for 4 months unless you already unlocked it on an upload from before then. 

 

For the Ninja Club, it was actually unlocked for me. I saved you inside of it. I also attached my file for the Crimson Path map that has the Battle Frontier door. If you put it in the game's Data folder, replacing the existing one, you should be able to enter the Battle Frontier now. I'll have to do a global reupload later to fix this for everyone, but for now, this should fix it for your file. If you're still unable to enter the Battle Frontier, or if you're unable to reenter the Ninja Club after leaving, please let me know and I'll do my best to assist further.

Hi, thank you so much for your help.
I’ll check in a moment if everything works perfectly. Thanks again.

So, the first time I downloaded the game, I did it from your official site and Google Drive. That version had starter Pokémon from the first 7 generations. Then, while searching on the internet, I came across a fairly recent YouTube video where someone shared a link to what was supposedly the official site on MediaFire (link below). I downloaded it from there, and since it looked like the right version (at least I thought so), I started playing.

Later, as I wrote earlier, when I couldn’t access Battle Frontier even though I had done everything, I downloaded the game a third time – this time again from you and from MediaFire. The difference was that with the second download there were no women standing by the fountain near Battle Frontier, but with the third download they appeared (Lass Paldea and Lass Kalos, if I remember correctly). Also, the shiny Flygon sprite looked different between versions.

So once again, thank you very much. I wish you a great day! ;)

I did everything as you advised, thank you — the game works now.
I can enter and exit the Ninja Club without any problems.
And I was also able to enter the Battle Frontier, even though the guard still says it’s under construction. But I’m not worried about that anymore.

I just wanted to ask, do you happen to remember where the rematch with Walt is? In the game files it says it should be in the Ninja Club building, but he isn’t there. It’s not that I really need it (I just wanted to complete the game 100%), but I’m asking for the future, since maybe it’s another bug?

Thanks again and best regards!

I'm glad you're able to go everywhere with no issues now! For Walt, you need to find him under the table (top right tile) first. He has an initial battle when you find him, and then you should be able to do his postgame rematch afterwards. 

 

Also, if you're interested, I just did a reupload. It fixes the Battle Frontier being inaccessible, and has other various bug fixes and additions like VS sprites and a couple shinies. Either way, I hope you continue to enjoy Spork!

Hi, it’s me again, Ines.
I found a few additional bugs in the game that make it impossible to finish 100%. Below I’ll list two key ones and a few smaller ones. I also recorded a video showing these bugs in case my description isn’t clear enough. If you could at least unlock/fix the first two, I’d really appreciate it.

Key bugs:

1. In the “Battle Frontier” location, “Battle Cloud” doesn’t work – right after entering the building, the path forward is blocked by an invisible wall, so it’s impossible to battle and to rematch Natalie.

2. In the “Technicolor Forest” location, it’s impossible to enter the Playground belonging to the Grape family — therefore the Smoothie singing quest can’t be completed.

Bugs that don’t block progress:
3. In “Temple of Time” at “Marvelous Marsh,” it’s possible to catch Dialga without activating all the colored portals. The portals in “Lighting Lounge,” “The Soap Room,” and “The Pokémon League” can’t be activated. The others are fine.
4. In the “Planet Spork” battle choices, in some places the “Nevermind” option is missing.
5. When choosing Leafeon at the False Fortune tent, the player receives automatic healing after every battle. However, this healing doesn’t work in every location. The places where it doesn’t work are:
a) “Legend Dairy”
b) Cave in “Weather Wonderland” between the Sunny and Rainy zones (the one with Duraludon)
c) “Noral Mountain Base”
d) “Cool Cave” – specifically the place where Kyurem is
e) “Raila Jungle,” first map from the “Sea of Knowledge” entrance
f) the entire “Victory Road”
6. It’s not possible to complete the full Pokédex — several character-Pokémon are unobtainable. These are: Hex Maniac, Kayle (appears twice in the Pokédex), Hiker, Maid, Swimmer, MartialArtist, AromaLady, Scientist, PokemonRange, PortalAgent, U-Cradily, U-Musharna, U-Corsola, U-Ludicolo, U-Meowstic (both genders), Ampharos (Candy), Sylveon (Ceopix), Ribombee (with the long neck), Alakazam (blue variant), Sawsbuck (with tie), Missingno.
 

Extra ideas (optional, from me):
7. There are no trainers on Victory Road, and the entire cave journey feels a bit empty. Maybe you could add a few very strong trainers? For example 3–4 per map?
8. The “Party District” area in “Olidrol City” is still closed — maybe the missing character-Pokémon could be placed there? This location could use Giratina’s Distortion World. For example: after completing the Slime-Man quest, Raymond goes to Party District (and tells the player). Then, when the player approaches one of the passages blocked by guards, something happens — Raymond disappears there. The player enters this part of the city against the guards’ orders. They encounter Giratina, who isn’t frightening here, but swaps the player’s body with one of their Pokémon (the first in the party or the starter). From this moment, the roles are reversed: the Pokémon sends the trainer (the player character) into Giratina’s tournament against other Character-Pokémon, who are controlled by Pokémon. The winner takes the opponent’s Character-Pokémon. This way, by winning, the player can complete the rest of the Pokédex, and Giratina joins the player as a partner — but in human form with Pokémon. After winning, the player receives Giratina itself. At the end, maybe the player character could even create their own song there (since I felt like my character never had their own singing moment in the Smoothie quest).

The remaining unobtainable Pokémon could also be given as rewards for rematch battles — for example, since some characters could own duplicates and give one to the player. Alternatively, they could be removed from the Pokédex.

These U-Pokémon could be rewards for completing all the battles in the Battle Frontier. Missingno, on the other hand, could be a reward for completing all the battles on Planet Spork.

And I had one more thought: if someone completes 100% of the Pokédex, maybe they could obtain a third Terapagos form? An “All-type” form — a Terapagos with all 18 types, with matching resistances and weaknesses.

 

Sorry for the long message!

Thank you for all the detailed reports with the video! 

 

Battle Cloud: I think I see what happened here. The tile passability might have been changed for some tiles for the Cloud Spire, as the Battle Cloud and Cloud Spire use the same tileset. I'll set the map transfer to be on the tile above. It looks like the tile you're transferred to is on the edge of the cloud instead of the first fully solid tile anyway. 

Leafeon autoheal: I think I overlooked maps that have wild encounters but not trainers. I'll add the autoheals to those maps!

 

As for the others that were reported, those were intended and/or have explanations: 

 

Not being able to enter the Secret Playground during Grape's song: You need to speak to Grape on the bench in order to enter the playground at this specific part. I probably had a reason for making the event like this, but I don't remember what it was (I didn't even remember about needing to speak to Grape instead of entering normally until I checked the events just now). 

Temple of Time portals: The portals from Lightning Lounge onward use the original Temple of Time map, as the map revamps haven't reached there yet. In the room with all the portals to all the different areas of the Temple of Time, those last three will be added as the map revamps reach them. 

Nevermind option missing in some Planet Spork categories: This is a relic from before I knew how to have more than four choices show at once. RPG Maker shows four choices on the screen at once by default, but there's a way to have it show more. At the time, I used the "Nevermind" option if there were more than four choices, since you would have to scroll through different choice menus to get to them. It looks inconsistent nowadays when I've added the expanded choice menu to selections with more than four options. 

Not being able to obtain human character Pokemon: They exist for special circumstances like the Ditto quest and the Battle VR, and weren't meant to be obtained by the player. They have Pokedex data because they need to be defined as Pokemon in order to function, and defining them as Pokemon adds them to the Pokedex. If you've obtained everyone except for them, then your Pokedex is complete! 

The Party District gates in Olidroll City being closed: The Party District is no longer located there. This is explained in the story, but the Party District was moved from Olidroll City to the Yellow Sea and rebranded as Party City. 

 

I'm unsure how to script a Pokemon that has every type, but a Pokedex completion reward has been in consideration before. 

 

I'll be able to fix the Battle Cloud and add the autoheals later today, as I just woke up. I'll post again after I've done so along with your save file!

 

[Ice Cream Sand Witch]

 

I've fixed the Battle Cloud and autoheal issues, and will prepare to make a reupload. In the meantime, if you happen to see this post before the reupload is ready, here's the map files that will allow you to enter the Battle Cloud! Map061 is the Battle Frontier; I changed the transfer to the Battle Cloud to be one tile up. And Map317 is the Battle Cloud; I changed the transfer back outside to the Battle Frontier one tile up as well so that it could be reached. 

 

Thanks again for the detailed reports and videos, it must have taken a lot of time to put that together! Did you catch the shiny Spheal you encountered in the video? 

 

Edit: The reupload is now up!

Hi, once again thank you so much for your help.

About the Grape thing – I totally missed her sitting on that bench. My bad, I was blind to it.

Don’t worry, making the video didn’t take me that much time. When I play Pokémon games I have a habit of writing down everything I come across, like important shops, move tutors, or bugs. So going back through my notes to find the points was actually pretty easy.

And yes, I did see and catch the Shiny Spheal. I’m glad to hear it made you smile.

To sum it all up, the game is truly enjoyable right from the first click. I first launched it several years ago (back when the whole adventure ended in Umira City). Since then, every few months until this April I kept checking whether it was finally completed. Then I saw the message that the game was finished and refreshed, and thanks to you I had the honor of completing it 100%. What’s more, I recorded around 200 videos of my journey as a keepsake. I’ll probably upload them to YouTube someday so others can also use them as a kind of guide.
Of course, I’m a bit sad that Party District in Olidroll and The Barking Lot in Serafew aren’t used, but I’ll be waiting for future updates. The first one would be a perfect fit for a Distortion World of Giratina and human-Pokémon. As for the second location, I don’t have any ideas… maybe just a farewell scene with Smoothie/Idol at the airport and a short parade through the regions?

P.S. I played through Delicia’s Delicious Dreamland over the weekend and now I understand everything about Party District. Tonight after work I’ll dive into Delicia’s Return to Dreamland. I can already tell it’s worth it.

Thank you for your kind words, I'm really glad you enjoyed Spork as much as you did! 200 videos is impressive! 

 

The Barking Lot will be added in the future! It'll work similarly to Amity Square from the Sinnoh games. You'll be able to walk around with any dog Pokemon. The reason it isn't in yet is just because it's difficult to script. After the map revamps for the final part of the main story are complete, Enigma has plans to go back for the maps here and there that we moved on without the first go round. (Ex: the Barking Lot needs time to figure out scripting, and Enigma did revamp Celium Park + the Sea Star Shrine but those maps got lost due to file corruption) 

 

I do think the Distortion World character-Pokemon tournament is an interesting idea. Although I'm attached to the current Distortion World where Giratina acts like a frog, that's not to say that there can't be multiple entrances. There are a few legendary sidequests that I have my sights on updating in the future, and I think I could use this for the Tapu Lele quest. Currently you need to activate all the panels in Isabelle's Gym as the Holiday Pokemon. I was already thinking of changing it because it's a lot of backtracking to have to go to each Holiday Pokemon and activate each of the panels, so what if each panel is an entrance to the Distortion World where you battle the Holiday Pokemon and they have a team themed around their holidays? 

 

I hope you enjoy Delicia's Return to Dreamland!
