Not having my boys Zangoose, Scrafty, and Toxicroak is possibly my biggest complaint about this game. If that gets rectified I'll be pleased as punch, though I'd be willing to bet two more sets of starters will be making it in instead.

Started yet another new game. I finished my Randomized mode one, to the point of hunting down all the gym leaders for rematches and beating them, but it annoyed me that I couldn't get all the legendaries. Surely they're all technically in there but like gently caress I'm spending a hundred hours hunting for them. So now I'm doing a modern mode modified nuzlocke and already lost my Bulbasaur before even facing Brock. God drat it. At least I have Pyukumyuku here who gets a water move at... oh. Water Sport, and Soak at Lv41. Real loving useful. This run might end real early.

What are your nuzlocke rules? I just started a randomized one where I can capture the first 2 uniques per route, and each pokemon must be immediately fused if possible.

I don't like torturing myself, so I'm pretty lax. Faint=dead, and one mon per route but doesn't have to be the first one I see. Emphasis on using Pokemon I haven't used in Infinite Fusion yet. If I catch a Nincada I'm allowed to use it to clone a Pokemon by evolving it. No breeding allowed, but no restrictions on fusing and unfusing. Catching an already-fused Pokemon is allowed so that's like getting an extra Pokemon, if one of em isn't poo poo anyway.
Though I survived Brock thanks to Kirlia and Luxio after losing Bulbasaur. both of them died while training for Misty (fuckin god drat Innards Out basically one-shotted my Luxio!) so again I might be screwed.

New game version! 5.3.1. Install issues with Alternative / Preloaded versions seem to persist.

quote:

No new pokemon in this version.

**New version [5.3.1]**
Bit of a smaller update than usual. I'm releasing this one ahead of schedule because of a new bug with the autogenerated sprites.
**This does NOT contain any of the new Pokémon that were recently announced.**

**New features and changes**
- Made if possible to use the side arrows to scroll faster in pokedex and long lists
- Added overworld shadows for player and npcs
- Added water animation for surfing an puddles
- Added small animation after defeating Mt. Silver boss
- Increased the number of points for box link to 5000

**Bugfixes**
- Fixed a bug causing screen effects to linger after losing to Mt. Silver boss
- Fixed lag in Sinnoh trio portals
- Fixed trainers not using fused Pokémon on Kin Island's Pokemon club
- Fixed an issue causing autogenerated sprites to not download properly



Also finally pulled the non-Steam game screenshots of my Deck. Classic was so charming.

Ayuh, one of the smartest things in the game is that the splicers are dirt fuckin cheap. And yet I find that in every game I play, by the time I hit the end I still only have a team of 3-9 fused Pokemon, and everyone else has fallen way behind. That's why I'm doing a Nuzlocke now, because it basically forces me to give up my preferred pals and move on to other ones. Right now carrying my team is a Poliwhirl/Fearow who is ugly as hell and 100% is going to die the first time he gets hit by a tiny jolt of lightning.

My MVP of my last run was Quagsire/Magmortar (fire/ground) with Water Absorb. And by MVP I mean he was decently useful and so cute I couldn't bear to not have him in my team so he stayed with me to the end.

We got the second new mon line announced and its the Scolipede line, which means we're now 2 for 2 on adding some of my favorite mons in. And as a bonus they're a staff pick and don't count towards the 20 new mons being added.

This is ending up being kinda nuts.

Bah, I give up my Nuzlocke and announce myself as a failure. The Burned Mansion on Cinnabar killed most of my team (gently caress Destiny Bond and gently caress Explosion) and I got nothing to face Blaine with. And the game's kinda disappointing when 50% of the Pokemon you see are white question mark circles. I bet there's a community of sprite-makers working overtime to fill in the gaps but there's just so many gaps it's a daunting task.

Oh man can't imagine that part in a Nuzlocke.

0% of the Pokemon you see should be white question mark circles. Are autogen ones not showing up? If you're using the preloaded version or alternate launcher then you need Sprites.zip and the latest full sprite pack. On the normal version it should just work if your internet connection is ok.

It's a bit of a mess and 5.3.1 didn't fix it.

We also got the newest Pokemon additions announced today as Tyrunt/Tyrantrum. Still another 17ish to go because the Venipede line was thrown in as freebies but so far the choices 100% align with what I wanted.

The slow rollout was probably the right call. I think Sableye is already top 10 in terms of custom sprites and having about a week per family reveal means you get a pretty concentrated blast of sprites for each new mon.

Yeah, the autogen ones don't show up anymore. You know the guy who made the generator revoked the game's permission to use them, yeah? I assume there's still a way to get the full comprehensive sprite pack- I honestly haven't looked. But at this point I've played through the game I think 4 times now, and to the game's credit there's so many ways to play it that you can actually do that- lord knows any official Pokemon game doesn't have that kind of back to back replayability. If they put my pal Zangoose in the game then when that happens I'll maybe do a new replay with him hacked in as my starter.
(e: Didn't really finish my thought there lol, I was gonna say after playing through the game let's call it 3.5 times, I'm bored with going through the same places and story and even playing through different ways drags at certain points, so I think I'm done with the game for now regardless.)
Tell you one thing, I have debug mode turned on by default and I hadn't realized it automatically gives you the ability to cut, surf, rock climb, etc. by default. Now that I've had a taste of that I'm never going back to having to do ten tons of backtracking just for items and TMs. That's one thing the new games got right: unofficially gating areas by pokemon level instead of that "well you can't move rocks yet so come back later" poo poo is great.

The latest update 5.3.1.2 moves sprites to gitlabs. If you don't have sprites preloaded you might have to update. The infinite splicers can be obtained again, and the file host for the mobile download doesn't serve up viruses anymore.

A few pokemon to be added have been revealed but they're not in yet.

Yeah, so far we're up to

Creator's choice
Venipede/Whirlipede/Scolipede
Oricorio (all 4 forms which also means they're adding future form support to other Pokemon which is absolutely nuts)
Trubbish/Garbodor


Voted
Sableye
Tyrunt/Tyrantrum
Snorunt/Glalie/Froslass
Phantump/Trevanent
Carvanha/Sharpedo
Goomy/Sligoo/Goodra


Which means there are roughly ~7 slots left of the initial 20 they announced they were adding since the top group explicitly don't count towards the limit.

They were yeah, it went up to Gen VII. And it was specifically a fake out because people datamined Sandyghast and Necrozma in the demo that was put out to announce Trevanent

Still unclear if they're 3/4 of the last spots or that was just the devs screwing with people

We got Stuffl/Bewear and Dhelmise confirmed with 5 new lines to be revealed over the next 5 days. The devs are crazy since they're on pace to triple the initial amount they were going to add.

They're still using a pretty ancient version of Essentials apparently and haven't wanted to put in the time to put in the information for Gen VIII or IX mons yet so the new mons are still limited to Gens I-VII.

Hell it doesn't even handle alternate formes currently which is why one of the leads chose Oricorio, to force in that functionality.

The week of reveals is over: Mareanie+Toxapex, :holy:Hawlucha:holy:, Cacnea+Cacturne, Sandygast+Palossand (after one more fakeout), and Amaura+Aurorus.

And there's more to come, apparently, with "remaining community picks" and spriters' choice vote.

I can't wait for all of these to get added in (maybe one more than the others). I just hope the dev isn't biting off more than they can chew.

I didn't expect to see a thread about this fangame! It's a ton of fun, and I've contributed some sprites to it. Here they are if you wanna take a gander.






I gotta get around to adding some more sometime. Most fun thing to do is just play the game however you want to, and whenever you end up making a fusion that doesn't have a custom sprite you go make one for it! If any of yall like to do spritework or edits, I recommend giving that a try.

I haven't got around to installing it yet but a big update out.

quote:

Update 6.0 is now available!

After several months of anticipation, the new Pokémon are finally there! This update adds all of new Pokémon that have been announced since August! Most of these new Pokémon will be available during the main game in classic mode, with the legendaries being post-game.

The update also comes with a brand new launcher which allows you to easily install and update the game via a neat user interface!
**You can also still use the old installer to download/update your game if you're having issues with the launcher**

The full changelog is too long to fit in this post, so here's a small summary of the new features added in this update:

- Added 41 new Pokémon (46 including forms)
- Fusion data is now calculated dynamically
- Added new post-game questline for Necrozma
- Completely remade the Sealed Chamber maps and added new puzzles for the Regi trio
- Added hidden Pokémon nests that can found in specific areas
- Added several new quests and events related to the new Pokémon
- Added new Regi triple fusion

This update includes some major changes under the hood. And so it's expected that there will be some bugs.

The install does include a shortcut to where the saves are in the base folder now at least.
