Heyooo We got some requests to make a fanworks thread on here, so... here it is! Thank you all for the support! Also note that any works that have to do with E5 have to be spoiler tagged. Memes are fine too, of course! And I might as well throw in some of the meme stuff I made, to start it all off \o/ these arent e5 spoilers until later btw I just dont like my images being huge lol

To keep you guys updated in the clearest way possible, I thought I should make this a thing. I'll throw a big thank you to the GOAT devs Jan and Ame for this groundbreaking graphic. _________________________________________________________________ Pokemon Desolation Episode 6 Development Progress Old Content #################### | Map Updates (95%) #################### | Script Updates (85%) #################### | Misc (85%) -------------------------------------------------- #################### | Total (89%) New Content: #################### | Story (95%) #################### | Mapping (98%) #################### | Scripting (85%) #################### | Sidequests (95%) -------------------------------------------------- #################### | Total (93%) _________________________________________________________________ Yeah, there's a lot of grey, but we'll get there one day This thread will be locked (in order for all of my posts to be easily accessible), but don't worry, I will provide updates when I have things to report, that is, a few days after posting to Patreon. Development of Episode 6 should be a great time, especially now that Ruby, Posty and I have really got the gears turning in terms of efficiency. I'm excited to see what we will bring to the table, and I'm excited at the prospect of really stepping things up, especially with the feedback that I have received. I'm honestly stoked to see how well Desolation was received by the community, despite it's multi-year absence. We'll be in touch! Caz

Welcome to Pokémon Desolation - Story - What is a dream? A series of thoughts? Images? Sensations? No... perhaps it's something more? Welcome to the Ayrith Region, a large land mass split into several islands. Ayrith is clouded in mystery, with strange, inexpiable events happening in every corner. However, somewhere deep down, there is something more to this mystery. Something unexpected, impossible even. You will uncover this secret, and go down in history. What is your dream? Is it to be a hero? The outcome of Desolation is strongly based on the choices you make. Choose wisely. - Features - - Obtainable List - - Episode 5 - Somnium - Important Note 1: If you are updating from E4, you may continue to E5 content by entering your room in the Cellia Manor. Important Note 2: Episode 5 runs on a new, faster engine, MKXP. To run Desolation, use 'game-z.exe'. If you have issues with game-z, instead try running 'game.exe'. Finally, please note that during the update to Gen 7 and the movement to the new engine, many move ID's had to be shifted, resulting in a small number of instances where Pokemon have different moves than they should (ONLY in save files created prior to E5). - Download Links - 7 Badges are available as of this release. Version 5.1, 07/07/2020 For those of you updating from 5.0.4/5.05 and want a smaller, manual patch for 5.1 - download THIS file (4 MB) and extract its contents into Desolation's root directory (the one with game.exe), overriding the previous content.

We're back, just like Desolation. Setup Instructions: Go to your Desolation game folder -> Data -> Change the name of "Scripts.rxdata" to something other than Scripts.rxdata Download the file from the link below and extract the zip file (via winrar or 7zip or whatever) Copy the extracted file into the path mentioned above. Change the name of the file you've downloaded to "Scripts.rxdata" Be careful when using the "warp" function as it can warp you out of bounds and can mess up some events. Enjoy! https://www.mediafire.com/file/ejmssefyjn55rux/Scriptsbasic.zip/file If for some reason the file is deleted, cannot be reached, or you experience any other problems in general you can DM me and I will try to help you.

Pokemon Desolation - R.E.M. Edition Since I'm a big fan of Desolation, I wanted to make a mod that adds more content and offers a few twists to the way a regular Desolation playthrough would go. You might recognize me from masterpieces such as Jarredesolation. Unfortunately, this mod is not quite as ambitious as that. Instead, it simply offers the following features: - Over 20 Pokemon have received Ayrithian forms - regional variants that change their typing, moveset, stats, abilities, and, of course, looks. Some of them even have completely new abilities! - 2 new sidequests featuring new characters that will pop up occasionally in your playthrough. These sidequests reward you with useful items, Pokemon you wouldn't be able to get otherwise, and access to completely new locations! - A new battle mechanic: Use Dream Surge to transform the battle field to your advantage! Comes in four useful flavours - The Repel Charm: A new item that works like a regular repel, but lasts indefinitely until you turn it off Due to some of the modifications, REMsolation uses different save files than regular Desolation. Download: REMsolation (Update 31.01.2021: Fixed an issue with the Spheal line's movement, Villager in the Wildlands Cave no longer crashes the game. If you already downloaded the full version already, you can simply use this download link to get the Data folder to replace the one in your game folder so you don't have to download the whole thing again) Big thanks to Talrasha for catching a whole ton of bugs that wouldve made it in otherwise! List of Ayrithian Forms: List of Sidequest locations:

As many of you lovely beans may or may not be aware, Pokemon Desolation has an ongoing community shiny project. When it was first announced, I had said to myself: wouldn't it be fun if I made every Silvally shiny form in the style of those in Pokemon Reborn? It wasn't. The purpose of this thread is to poke and prod at all the brilliant minds of you talented gigantamaxed brained individuals out there to make the best Silvally shinies we could possibly create. I have technically made a shiny for every single one of the Silvally typings, but certain shinies are not quite up to the standard that I would like. All the forms can be separated into three categories: "just a dog on [insert typing here]", "Hey, that's pretty good", and "omg ily pls have my babies". While I'm decently confident that visually the sprites do a good enough job at displaying their typing while looking visually appealing, many of the sprites can be boiled down to dog on fire when they could be so much more. Additionally, I think it would just be more fun if the community was more involved instead of having me submit all 18 sprites. just a dog on [insert type here] hey that's pretty good. omg ily pls have my babies Here is a Google Drive link for ease of access https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1cipeLEf_heW-uPdaZt-_Hcfe7erv5pK5?usp=sharing Any one of these sprites (with the exception of the Ice one cuz I didn't make it) are free to download and edit for the purpose of this project. A majority of ideas/sprites will be posted in the Pokemon Reborn Discord server in the sprite-edits channel. If you have a completed sprite, the sprite should first be posted on the Pokemon Reborn Discord and then upon the Desolation Dev Team's approval, the completed sprite should be posted as a reply to this post so that all the sprites can be kept in one place. List of Types (Completed ones are crossed out like this) For the sake of clarity, any sprites created will be credited under your name. The point of this post is to act as a call to arms to create the highest of quality sprites for Pokemon Desolation. Ideas and sprites are both equally as valuable here. Remember that the purpose of the shiny project is not to be a competition, but to be a community gathering. Ideas and sprites will inevitably not always be accepted and implemented and that at the end of the day, the purpose of this project is to have fun.

Hey y'all As the title says, we are opening questions to all of you! so ask away, whatever your heart desires, Mechanics? Pokemon? Caz?... besides spoilers, we won't answer spoilers. Before asking any questions, please take a look at our FAQ, Caz has answered a good majority there, involving personal life and main topics of discussion for Pokemon Desolation **NOTE, We will not be answering questions about In-Game Content, for example "Where is this Key?" or "Is this TM available?" If you need help regarding this, please go and ask in the Discussions Section!**

So as the title suggests, I'm going to restart yet ANOTHER Pokemon Fan Made Game. Only because some of the early start of the game is getting changed (and possibly other parts and possibly some text changes. I can't remember) but the game is Pokemon Desolation that I will be restarting when V6 comes out. BUT... I want this to be actually me playing in game. I want to use my top 6 Pokemon only through the game. But I feel like debugging in my top 6 Pokemon... Idk. It might set some people off. So I also thought maybe I'll just use some Pokemon until I get my actual teammates. I'm alright with that too. Sooo I'm basically making a poll here. What should I do folks?! Vote Vote VOTE!

Welcome to the official Desolation Art Gallery! How this'll work is that whenever I have enough art to show, I'll just reply to this topic with it and edit this main post to include it, along with the upload date of the newer images! Easier for you and me to keep track that way~ also some shameless plugs,,, my twitter, instagram and tumblr uwu Lets goooooooooooo Desolation Logo: Cover Art: Character Art: Protagonists: ** Download the sprites for Robin & Avery here: - Mega - Mediafire Others: Character Icons: Protagonists: Others: Thanks for stopping by, everyone! I hope you liked the character art! **Note, This thread is for all Official Artwork for the Game, If you have created fanart, please post it in this thread here!**

Hey y'all! We have a big ole announcement! Introducing... The Pokemon Desolation Community Shiny Project! Yes that's right you heard it here, we at the Desolation Dev Team want to customise every single Shiny Pokemon in the game, but we are busy at work fixing bugs and looking to begin development soon for Episode 6 So this is where you come in! We are opening the floor to the community to essentially create Shinies for every single Pokemon in the game! (including Gen 8! use the >> Gen 8 Sprite Pack << *NOTE* we are not adding Gigantamax Forms) So... how do you even get round to submitting your Shinies? LET ME TELL YOU! Below are two very important links! One is to the Shiny Project document and the other is to the Google Form where you can Submit your Shiny Sprites, let me go into detail about these links. First is the Shiny Project document which is linked >>>>> HERE <<<<< This is essentially a Checklist to keep track of what Pokemon have received a brand spanking new Shiny! Use this to check to see if a Shiny you want to submit has already been submitted The document is split into Generations (Ordered by National Dex) with Regional Variants, Megas, Silvally Forms (please submit cool Silvally forms like in Reborn/Rejuvenation) and Arceus Forms (they dont have to be wild, but yeah go nuts if you want lol) having separate tabs. When a Shiny has been approved by us, the development team, I will be updating the document, so make sure you keep an eye out! Second is the Google Form which will be used to SUBMIT YOUR SHINIES which is linked >>>>> HERE <<<<< Answer the questions on the Form in order to submit your Shinies You can submit as many Shinies as you want! but the Form is limited to 10 uploads per response so take that in mind. **NOTE** When submitting Shinies, We would like the entire Evolution Line to be submitted along with Backsprites and Gender Differences. This is because if for example, One person creates a Litten Shiny and someone else creates a Torracat Shiny, they may look completely different and continuity is lost. We will not be accepting single Shinies if they are apart of an Evolution Line, If more than one person has worked on a set of Shinies, please submit this as one Response and link all names who contributed. The Project is being completed in Generations. Starting from Generation 1, we will NOT be accepting Shinies from later Generations until the previous Generations have been completed. For example if we are currently accepting Shinies from Generation 2, we will NOT accept a Shinies submitted from Generation 4 UNTIL we reach that stage. If a Pokemon has an Evolution in another Generation, please do still create Shinies for them and submit, they will be reviewed and accepted regardless for continuity sake (if we accept them) PLEASE SUBMIT PNG FILES Current Generation - Generation 8 **ALSO** If you plan on submitting a Mega Evolution, we would prefer if you submitted Shinies for the whole line, for example if you wanted to submit a Shiny Mega Beedrill, we would prefer it if you submitted Shinies for the whole Weedle Line! (I know this may mean making a second Response, but just make sure you have the same name so we know it's your Shinies!) Arceus Forms can be different however we would prefer if they were all similar (like the base, use Reborn's as an Example) with a few differences, so if one person is up for the task go for it! Remember we will be having the Final Say, we appreciate everyone who has taken the time to create Shinies and submit them however if we ain't feeling them, they will not be included in the game. This also means that we may adjust a Shiny slightly if we really want it however one aspect is putting us off (for example, Eye Colour, few Pixels etc) If two Legendaries for example Solgaleo and Lunala are meant to be "grouped together" (Shiny Wise mainly), for continuity purposes we would prefer it if the person who creates one of these Shinies would create the other pair! When you submit a Shiny, please try to label it properly. What I mean by this is that, when the game checks for a Shiny Sprite, it'll look for the Pokemon Number with the letter "s" at the end, for example Charmander's Shiny is labelled "004s" and "004sb", if theres a female version for example with Venusaur, then it should be labelled "003fs" and "003fsb". This will save me a lot of time when filtering through the Shinies and putting them into a folder for the Shiny Pack! One last thing... PLEASE USE THE BASE SPRITES IN THE DESOLATION FOLDER FOR WHEN YOU MAKE SHINIES. **WE WILL ALSO NOT BE ACCEPTING** - Half Pixels (Please check your Shinies before you submit, if we notice several Half Pixels, we will not approve of your Shiny, we will have the final say!) - Blatant Video Game/Series References (We do not mind a slight reference to a series, however if its extremely obvious we will not be approving, Shinies relating to other Pokemon Fangames are fine, just don't go over the top with them) - Over-saturated/Too Bright (If it hurts our eyes to look at, we won't accept it) That's about it, we can't wait to see what you all come up with and submit! From Desolation inspired Shinies to a custom palette! From the Desolation Dev Team we once again want to say a major Thank You for all the support everyone has given us with the release of Episode 5, its been a wild ride and we can't wait to bring more to you soon! *One More Thing* I will be updating the document every Sunday so check around 12pm BST on this day to see what has changed on the checklist! (lmao)

It's finally here! My Pokemon Desolation Playthrough! Along with my new intro! Please enjoy!

TABLE OF CONTENTS PROLOGUE SEASON 1

Update: 30/06/2020 Hey guys! Important update here! Desolation has been UPDATED to Episode 5 and MOVED! ALL NEW INFORMATION AND GAME UPDATES CAN BE FOUND AT THIS LINK! Yeah, we moved the thread so that we could have loads of sub-threads and things. Makes communication a whole lot easier! Thank you SO much for your ongoing support! Cheers, Caz

Please help me find the Black Foxes old battle theme (pre-episode 5).

I found both diary entries and talked to booker but the snorlax on east doesn't move ... I also had to reupdate because of the tristan bug earlier so I don't know if that has anything to do with this bug but yea the snorlax ain't moving

So its been about a week since we dropped Episode 5 so its about time to drop the Obtainable List! So here.. go nuts. Use this thread as a place to ask each other where Pokemon are located (saves you asking in the AMA and on the Main Thread :D) Also to note, if someone wants to make a Location Guide for the Game, feel free! We will not personally be making one due to focusing our efforts on other aspects of the game so if you want to make one like Reborn's or Rejuvenation's then go for it! I do not mind at all pinning it for easy access for everyone! If you find a Pokemon that hasn't been listed on this list then please let me know, this took a good while to make and I made consistent edits due to changing Pokemon around, so its likely I've missed some.

Hey dudes and dudettes! I was gonna put this in the Desolation area but since this would have gone into the discussion thread, I'm just gonna post it here instead. So as many of you know, I plan on doing a Pokemon Desolation Playthrough as soon as my channel intro is completed. I just got done doing 2 slightly different overlays for the game. So I want you all to vote on your favorite overlay and that will be the 1 I use whenever I start recording the videos. Overlay 1 Overlay 2

Would anybody be able to post a .zip file of Pokemon desolation.the computer I play Reborn and Rejuv on doesn't have the most memory and it would cause me a huge amount of hassle to open a .rar file. I would greatly appreciate the help since from what I remember of playing that game it was great. Thank you in advance.

Due to Pokemon Desolation not having a turbo mode and people asking for it, I've decided to make a post so people can find them easier. Installation steps: 1) Open up your Desolation game folder, 2) Open the "Data" folder, 3) Find "Scripts.rxdata" and change its name to Scriptsoriginal.rxdata (or anything really), 4) Copy and paste the file you've downloaded and change its name to "Scripts.rxdata" If you only want the turbo mode download this file: Scriptsturbo.rxdata If you want turbo and debug mode download this file: Scriptsturbodebug.rxdata May the great game that is Desolation live on. Enjoy!

That's right! I got bored and decided to do another playthrough! This time, however, I'm going to be playing a randomizer run of Desolation! However, unlike the last few runs, I'm not going to be using Temere this time! There are a few rules I have to this run. First, I'm only allowed to use Pokemon you suggest to me. This means I must nickname them with the corresponding name. Finally, all actions I decide within the game are decided by you, the player. You must tell me whether or not I should max out affinity, do certain side quests, etc. As such here are the first few questions: 1) Who should we be kind to? 2) What should our character be named? How about the gender? 3) What should our starter Pokemon be, including the nickname? It's up to you!

In the presence of all these fan games that we really enjoy so much... If you were to make your own Pokemon fan game, how would it be different from other fan games? How would the storyline go? Would you make your custom sprites? Will you create fakemons? What would be its frontlining features (i.e. number of gyms, obtainable pokemons/fakemons, difficulty level)? What would you call it? Let the creativity begin...
