Just as expected, fantastic demo. Obviously there are bugs to be expected, but you're doing amazing work. One recommendation I have for qol is having descriptions for moves when your Pokemon wants to learn a new one so you can see the effects/power etc and compare them to better make a decision on what move to keep.
i had the same issue, when i reinstalled my NVIDEA graphics card drivers.
to do this you:
open the NVIDEA app
click drivers in the left menu
click the re-install button
click advanced and select clean install
click ok
now it will re-install your drivers and reboot your pc when it is done.
right now i don't have the latest drivers installed because i just re-installed them. so you might have to do this again if it "suddenly" stops working.
A pokemon can have multiple instances of the same attack as can be seen here. The second instance he learned mid battle and can also be used normally.Apparently, if one checks a pokemon's stats mid battle this can happen. This is the mid battle stats window immediately after the battle. This window persisted through the rest of the battle and after. Not even I know how I got it to go away.
Anyone know the reason for the immediate wild pokemon encounter when walking in grass? As soon as I take a step, a turn or any movement in grass, It's an immediate encounter.
Answers? none. Solutions? 1. I like to press and hold a motion while in loading transition from battle. Moves your character before any instant fights can occur.
Im getting these 2 errors when i try to start a new game then it crashes - Pure virtual function being called while application was running (GIsRunning == 1). -
LowLevelFatalError [File:D:\build\++UE5\Sync\Engine\Source\Runtime\Core\Private\Windows\WindowsPlatformMisc.cpp] [Line: 439] Pure virtual function being called
I'm absolutely blown away, and I can't wait to play the completed experience. So far though, there are 2 things I would like changed. The white flash before a battle is very sudden and brutal. Not comfortable, even for me who doesn't suffer from any kind of photosensitivity. The second is that sprinting feels quite sluggish, at least compared to the original emerald. I'm not sure if I'm remembering wrong but I believe Pokemon Emerald's movement is much more snappy, and this felt distractingly sluggish. Awesome work though. I love this.
Is it possibile to evolve Rhydon through level up or is there a protector available somewhere in the game? Also it feels weird that pokemon basically stop learning moves after they leveled over a certain number...
Add the exe to Steam as a non-steam game. Then on Steam in the properties of the game enable compatability and set it to Proton Experimental. This should solve the "fatal error" message, on Deck at least.
run at low res and turn off depth of field, i can't seem to limit frames through nvidia, that's one thing that will tank performance because it's running native unlocked frames
In case anybody wants to run this game on Steam Deck, here's what worked for me.

I have no idea why, but every time I try and launch the game, even through itch launcher, I get a "Fatal error!" message and the game closes. I haven't been able to open the game once. I have tried disabling virus protection to see if that would resolve my issues but it didn't work. Would love any ideas
Hi there. I’ve been stuck for the past week and a half, despite uninstalling and reinstalling. Today, I decided to do a full thorough sweep, and found a dedicated folder in C:\Users<user>\AppData\Local. I deleted it and installed the game again, and I was able to start a new game without fatal error.
Hope this helps!
Pro tip: as the game is in development, I would avoid getting too attached to any save file as they may get corrupted or unrecognized in newer versions.
Love it, although the bugs are very game breaking. I just got stuck in a battle, not sure what's happening but no buttons do anything and it's just stuck in the idle animation loop. I know I should save more in a demo like this but man I'll have to replay a decent amount and that just sucks.
It looks fantastic but it is virtually unplayable in its current state. I kept running into many bugs, which of course is expected in the pre-release state. But some of them are quite game-breaking.
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= GAME BREAKING =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= 1. Grass Encounters. No Repels are available in the store, and any time I try to walk through grass, especially when walking [right], the encounter rate is 100% and the player cannot move from the tile. So literally I cannot progress past the first location with the shop.
2. The shop interface itself is quite bad. I don't mean that to be [aggressive?], but the shop interface requires multiple presses just to buy one item, if you want to buy different items it's quite tedious. On multiple occasions I got locked into the shop, unable to exit, forcing me to reset the game.
3. The input for my controller conflicts with the keyboard constantly. I'm using DS4 Windows + PS5 controller. It works fine most of the time, but sometimes the game resets it's priority as the topmost window, which forces the mouse cursor to the middle of screen, which causes the conflict. I'm not sure if a menu navigation is causing it or, the game resetting the priority as topmost window, but that's my guess as I've seen that behavior with projects I've coded before. -> This is probably on my end now that I'm looking at it more closely.
4. Astonish caused the entire game to freeze up when used in a trainer battle. Specifically Beldum vs Pikachu #2 on Team Magma Grunt near the station.
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= MINOR =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= 1. So far in my adventure there's no way to heal your Pokémon without items. So I'm unable to get more PP for any of my moves. I understand there probably is a way later, but right now, being unable to leave the area, I'm stuck with whatever moves I have or buy from the shop. -> This was indeed my mistake and I didn't know the tent was a Pokécenter until it was pointed out.
2. You haven't added logic [or it's not working] to prevent Pokémon from learning the same move more than once. This isn't a huge deal on it's own. It's a little silly and doesn't make much sense, but Missingno. in Gen I had two Water Gun attacks, so it just reminded me of that. But the issue here is that if you use one of those moves, both will lose PP. So it's possible for one of them to have a negative value due to using the second move with 0 [or less] PP on the first move.
3. There are quite a few typos already. There are typos on some of the trainers and there is a typo in one of the Pokémon follower scripts.
4. Items sometimes cannot be used outside of battle (e.g. Potions) until either a battle is completed or an item is used in battle (haven't tested which).
5. Water should be "not very effective" [0.5x effective] against grass, but it hits for normal damage.
6. All Pokémon can learn any TM (even duplicates).
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= SUGGESTIONS (NOT BUGS) =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Note: Keep in mind I am currently unable to proceed past the first area so I do understand that some or all of these might already be implemented in some way, shape or form.
1. Re-Battle Trainers: I'd like to see a method for re-battling trainers. I'm sure you have one planned or maybe even integrated already, but it might just be easier to include rematch scripts on the trainers themselves, and have them request a rematch when talking to them again (versus using a V.S. Seeker or similar). You can add flags and such to make the trainers stronger after certain milestones are met.
2. Re-usable TM's. I do like the current shop function. But having TM's as unique items hidden throughout the world feels more meaningful than having them as a consumable item in the shop. Furthermore, it promotes adventure and searching every nook and cranny. A TM of every move in the game (while tedious) would be unique and cool.
3. HM's. I don't know if you're planning on making HM slave Pokémon or if you will use items, but I definitely think the latter would be nice (surfboard, PokéSaw [lol], etc.)
Might come back and edit this or repost and add more later. It's a bit long, but I really like the project so far. Super cool. :)
Not sure if you'll see this but i was also struggling with walking to the right and having a 100% encounter chance, however I found that as soon as you run or beat the wild pokemon, hold right on your d-pad (or joystick), you should be able to make it off the tile you were on before the next encounter hits. That way you can (albeit slowly) make it to the next area. Hopefully it works for you!
I full odds shiny hunt in all 8192 games regularly. Mostly in gen 3. So I’m not unfamiliar with going thousands of encounters without a shiny. I’m currently double over odds for a shiny in the first area of the game. Got an auto counter running. I am scared because this is a demo something is bugged or if this is just typical hunting as usual. Not uncommon to go triple over odds but just wanted to know if other people have found fast full odds shinies in this game? In the first area specifically
lol. Not even a half hour after I posted this shiny lotad appeared. I guess that answers my question. 4345 encounters. Love that you can hunt in this. Some people have said why waste time hunting in a non official game. But all shinies are just pixels. Still just as hyped to find lotad as I am to get an official shiny
"Out of video memory trying to allocate a rendering resource. Make sure your video card has the minimum required memory, try lowering the resolution and/or closing other applications that are running. Exiting..." - when do you believe this can be fixed? Was able to play it, now not haha!
Just a suggestion, would love that when a pokemon is learning a new move, that you can see the details of that new move and current moves a pokemon has learned already. Loving the game so far! Its beautiful. :)) But what is really annoying me is how I am going against level 20+ enemies when mine are only around level 12 :(( its only the beginning of the game too
I am trying to transfer my save file over to the updated version but for some reason it won't load my save. I have both old and new folders on my desktop and assumed it would be an easy carryover as it has been before. I also copied the entire save folder from the previous version and replaced the one on the new version to see if that helped, but nothing.

I am definitely going to keep my eye out for this, and hopefully nintendo doesn't take it down
are the starters shiny locked?
NO
After clicking new game got
LowLevelFatalError [File:D:\build\++UE5\Sync\Engine\Source\Runtime\Core\Private\Windows\WindowsPlatformMisc.cpp] [Line: 439]
Pure virtual function being called
Crash in runnable thread Foreground Worker #0
then game crashed
After doing uninstall, deleting save data it worked. Also updated nvidia drivers
IF YOU GOT ANY PROBLEM WITH STARTING THE GAME
Try opening it as an administrator, hope it helps :3
my Beautifly learned Poison Sting twice
As nature intended.
Like the demo so far. Did not expect a certain trainer in the game. Also, do not use the move "bounce". The game softlocks after it.
where do you get zubat
oigan donde se guarda ahora el progreso? revise las carpetas y nada
Nice game

I can’t launch the game. It keep saying fatal error. Can anyone help I want to play the game too

MUSTVE DONE SOMETHING WRONG CAUSE GAME ERRORED OUT IMMEDIATLLY FOR ME.
PLAYED ON V100
After about 3 soft resets, I can say I'm a proud owner of that beautiful Dragonite that you find in the Blooming forest. Loving the game so far.
Is this the area at the very beginning of the game?

i might be dumb but not seeing a way to exit the shop. on the side note when i go to options in the main menu it crashes?
gameplay is decent so far other than those issues so far

The tent behind the deli bird mailbox is a poke center and it works.
Thank you. I honestly must have overlooked that if it was told to the player. I'm excited for what's to come.
Not sure if you'll see this but i was also struggling with walking to the right and having a 100% encounter chance, however I found that as soon as you run or beat the wild pokemon, hold right on your d-pad (or joystick), you should be able to make it off the tile you were on before the next encounter hits.

I found a new bug, apparently the dragon claw attack makes the pokemon's sprite move to the right side moving away.

Question? Can you shiny-hunt Shaymin and Cresselia?
As they say, there is no shiny lock, everyone can be captured in the Shiny version!
