Just finished the Gamma Emerald demo – and wow, it was awesome!
I’m genuinely hyped for the full release. The game already feels super promising. Yes, there are still a few bugs, crashes, and rough edges here and there, but that didn’t stop me from enjoying the ride. I had to save often to make it through, but it was absolutely worth it.
The biomes are super creative and diverse, and the modernized effects combined with the 2.5D pixel art style look fantastic. It all blends together beautifully and gives the game a fresh yet nostalgic vibe. It sounds great, plays smoothly, and has a ton of potential.
Huge thanks to UndreamedPanic – please keep working on it, this is something special!
Game doesn't work when my Pokemon starts to evolve. The game gets stuck on the evolving screen and just loops the song. I assume this is the problem only on the newest patch?
When i try to launch the game i am told my intel graphics drivers are outdated, yet when i follow the link there are no available updates and the version that the game wants is installed, can anyone help?
Game keeps crashing before battles w/ magma and keep having to uninstall - losing all my progress too (Game wont start unless I reinstall). Just going to wait for full game to release, Its very promising game to come back to just have to wait till bugs are all gone.
hey guys Hope some1 Can help me i want to Play it with a ps5 Controller but it dont work do i Need to run a Extra Software on My pc ? Just Plug an usb-c cable isnt working for me.
i badly want to play this demo. but since the new version, it keeps crashing with the error “GPU crashed and missing D3D”. does anyone know a solution to this? do i just need to wait for more updates or is it something on my end?
do not use bounce it causes the glitch to where the battle is stopped waiting for the 2nd turn of bounce so just overall dont have your torchick learn bounce
i just can't play the game, its the third i time that after i play 1 hour i log off and the next daywhen i try to load my save i keep falling into the void, this time i wont reset the save because i got a shiny torchic at the start, i hope theres a specifc bugfix for this.
i had the same problem playing on my Asus ROG Ally in Silent mode (10w) i would fall into the sky. i gave the system more power in Performance (15w) i was able to load into the world. i now only play in Turbo (25/30w)
Im having lots of bugs like freezing fights that require soft reset or the occasional crash, and for some reason the game has a almost 100% GPU usage on medium settings, i have a 3060 and you cant tell me that its that Hardware heavy...
and just now i started the game and my Vulpix just "turned" into my swampert, same level and is now a water ground type with scratch and growl
i like the game but i hope those issues are seen and fixed
Linux user here, running through ProtonGE10-1 on Arch Hyprland with Nvidia drivers.
Added the .exe as a non-steam game, and forced compatibility. Worked like a charm.
At the start, game looks awesome and runs quite smooth at 160fps at 1440p all settings max on my 3080. No issues with controller detection and fullscreen. Only had some wonkyness when messing with settings. It would show my cursor and resize but never quit out or bug out.
When I started to move tho, I noticed a slight bit of lag whenever I would go a direction. Sometimes I would run and it would still be at walking speed. I also noticed some graphical stuff like '!' bubbles trailing behind alerted trainers that were moving and IDK how I feel about the depth of field focusing, but it is a lil jarring. Running was also delayed, not as tight as on the gba. Also numerous times where a wild pokemon battle would happen as I'm leaving a grassy patch. Might be all in line with high-FPS issue, will test more.
However, I did hit the issue with the Team Magma Grunt battle 2 where it focuses on me but I never throw a ball, requiring a soft reboot. I was able to fix this by rebooting, saving after the 1st fight, soft rebooting to my save point, and starting the fight where I did throw a ball. This is game-breaking and should be Fix #1!
As for the battling and animations themselves, chef's kiss! No issues with audio as of yet, and I love the menus. Can't gush enough about this. Only real complaint is that I think the character sprite's face looks weird from the side like his whole nose took over him and from the back he looks like a bean man waddling to freedom. However, if this is by choice, Imma let the expert cook.
This is truly special, and I can't wait for the full release! Thank you so much UndreamedPanic, you are making our dreams come true <3
also on arch w/ Hyprland on an nvidia card, using proton-9.0 from the default steam compatibility list
most of the bugs are just because of the game being buggy and incomplete, however I did not encounter the same fps issues you have. One issue I did encounter, is hyprland crashing due to lack of vram (i have an 8gb 2060 super), but after restarting I never encountered the issue again.. not sure what happened there lol
For softlocks, on controllers you can hold (menu + A) / (options + X) or (menu + B) / (options + O) or something like that, I only recently found that out tho (i haven't played the game on keyboard yet)
game is amazing tho, wish to see a full release (hopefully with less bugs tho)!
Is there an issue with shiny hunting? Been trying to get Shiny Beldum for like 3 days now. Can anyone please confirm if they got it since recent updates? Anyone get it since version 75+?
The game will not stay in focus until I start the game, did not encounter this after making a save and relaunching the game
After a few battles, my starter Treecko (stayed in 1st slot) stopped rendering in battle. After relaunching the game, it then consistently appeared.
After using bullet seed in a trainer battle and it hitting twice, I then used absorb, and after absorb concluded the sound effect for bullet seed played twice again and defeated the pokemon, then said it hit 4 times.
When beginning the trainer battle with the team magma member standing right next to another team magma member, they threw out their pokemon and the camera shifted to my character, but my character didn't throw out their pokemon
For people playing the game, I highly recommend saving very often, as you will run into soft-lock scenarios often and will need to perform either a soft or hard reset
this game hase a big issue with going fullscreen and windowed on my ultrawide. i have 3 monitors set up and the game freaks out when i first start it and will start in windowed mode until i click to load my save. then my display flickers the tabs on my other monitors may move sometimes, they may not. the game then switches to fullsceen and no sound. the game will still play, but if i try to view my pokemon there is a big white box covering them. if i go into the settings tab. the game will flicker my monitors again(possibly moving tabs around on them) and goes into windowed mode and i get sound back
Settings don't save. I tried multiple times to change things and nothing saved.
Always-run should be an option.
Settings menu can get stuck if you use a controller and go all the way down to the color selector, press down 2 more times, then left/right a few times. It will act like you're selecting things. Then if you back out from there the settings screen will stay up while the game "continues" to play. You can hear yourselve moving in the background via grass or walls.

Ty for the Amazing work !!
I added Pokemon Gamma to my steam library, so Steam would redirect the PS5 controller to the game.
Is there any way to get a water stone? Ludiculo would be great for my team but i haven't found many items in the game yet
Asking me to OpenGPUDumpViewer... I was playing last night
How do I fix this?
On the first double trainer battle the left grunt walks past you and you can't battle him
VERIFICAR TAMBÉM AS EVOLUÇÕES, POIS AS MESMAS ESTÃO BUGADAS
i badly want to play this demo. but since the new version, it keeps crashing with the error “GPU crashed and missing D3D”. does anyone know a solution to this? do i just need to wait for more updates or is it something on my end?
Instant-Download
because absolute Yes
Is the Dragonite shiny huntable
Yes you can
do not use bounce it causes the glitch to where the battle is stopped waiting for the 2nd turn of bounce so just overall dont have your torchick learn bounce
CAN YOU SHINY HUNT THE DRAGONITE
Yes you can
i just can't play the game, its the third i time that after i play 1 hour i log off and the next daywhen i try to load my save i keep falling into the void, this time i wont reset the save because i got a shiny torchic at the start, i hope theres a specifc bugfix for this.

i hope this helps
How long did it take you to complete the demo?
it depends on how many times it freezes lol
but it should be around 3/4h chill
if you get the dragonite in blossoming forset before going on, even less
Is it possible to add v-sync? i have problems with screen tearing ingame. Otherwise it is a really good game, can't wait for the full launch.
Im having lots of bugs like freezing fights that require soft reset or the occasional crash, and for some reason the game has a almost 100% GPU usage on medium settings, i have a 3060 and you cant tell me that its that Hardware heavy...
and just now i started the game and my Vulpix just "turned" into my swampert, same level and is now a water ground type with scratch and growl
i like the game but i hope those issues are seen and fixed
I have spent way too long on shiny beldum, what are the shiny odds?
Think 1/4096 but im not certain

My game will not allow me to change the shadows or texture to medium it forces it to stay on high, is there a current work around?
whatre the shiny odds
1/2000
Hi is there a way to turn this into a GBA rom? Or some sort so I can play this on my old emulator system? I dont know how to do that. thanks
Considering that this is made in Unreal Engine. I'd say no.
can you see the shiny starter when all 3 show up?
yes
mystery gift got?
will this/the full game eventually be coming to mac by chance?
Are the static encounters such as Dragonite able to be shiny?
Is there an issue with shiny hunting? Been trying to get Shiny Beldum for like 3 days now. Can anyone please confirm if they got it since recent updates? Anyone get it since version 75+?
It works at least on V82 i just got mine
it might have been messed up on 77 because i hunted for a day on it and got nothing but on V 82 i got one reset over it and then got this on
Here are the bugs I've come across so far:
For people playing the game, I highly recommend saving very often, as you will run into soft-lock scenarios often and will need to perform either a soft or hard reset
my game is bugging in the initial battle
how do you connect a switch to this game?
just updated my game now all my progression is gone
go into the previous game version Windows>PokemonEmerald>Saved>SaveGames copy and paste your .sav file into the newer version
this message comes after i click okay
Mori Calliope!?!?!
this game hase a big issue with going fullscreen and windowed on my ultrawide. i have 3 monitors set up and the game freaks out when i first start it and will start in windowed mode until i click to load my save. then my display flickers the tabs on my other monitors may move sometimes, they may not. the game then switches to fullsceen and no sound. the game will still play, but if i try to view my pokemon there is a big white box covering them. if i go into the settings tab. the game will flicker my monitors again(possibly moving tabs around on them) and goes into windowed mode and i get sound back
used ancient power with beldum and now the enemy just wont take their turn?
same
can I play this game on mobile or on Chromebook
I downloaded the game, and every time I try to start it, it says fatal error
Settings don't save. I tried multiple times to change things and nothing saved.

I don't have that issue? Strange.
I want to know what sorcery you've performed.
Who has a shiny beldum? I'm starting to question it's existence after 800 soft resets.
I'm having the same issue. I've been hunting it for like 3 days now.
