For the people stucked on Yior, just desactivate the exp share or take out of your team the pokemon that is on the inifinite leveling loop, in my case was Metang, not using Metang fixed it
Beautiful game from what I able to endure before the absurd about of bugs and crashes finally became unbearable. Game has insane potential but when I cant load into a new area or even the game without crashing its very disheartening.
Encountered a glitch where after beating Yior's last pokemon, the game keeps giving me the experience and not progressing, I reset back to before the fight and it happened again
What other device it doesn't run on anything but Windows if you just want to move your save file from 1 version to another check his Twitter for the tutorial
This game is stunning and has the potential to be one of the best pokemon games to ever exist. But holy shit the amount of bugs quite literally made this demo unplayable for me. I hope the you guys fix these problems as soon as possible, otherwise amazing game.
How are people getting past the tall gras? Im like "stuck" in place because if I try to move or rotate im getting an encounter every single time, same goes for after soft resetting
Ngl im going crazy rn, stunning game but I have been stuck on the fight against Yior and I just cant beat it been stuck there for 4 hours, most of my pokemons are lvl 30-35 but they just keep being one shoted by the lucario which is why I decided to use some buffs moves on my Swabul when still fighting her other two weaker pokemons to get it to tank more, maybe survive and do some damage on the lucario, sadly the game just either crashes or stops working and im just staring at my screen not being able to do anything, the fight just doesnt continue.
(Edit: Im still going crazy, I have been buffing up my swabuls defense, speed and attack against Gallade to the max, revived all my pokemons so im in a good positon for Lucario and the game just stopped working again)
(Edit: I have given up, the game is just not letting me win this fight, it just stops working every time mid fight)
Still amazing game, keep up the work and defenetly gonna keep playing this and all the versions that are gonna be released.
Dude, you get 300 exp for killing one pokemon and the Team magma battles are non repeatable. That would take me atleast around 1-2 Hours of killing Wild Pokemon to get them all to lvl 40. The problem isn´t rly the lvl´s of my pokemons cause I could kill Lucario if the game wouldnt stop working mid fight, Im buffing my swabul up and then it can take out the Lucario but the game doesnt let me.
My tactic was just buffing up my swabul when fighting her second Pokemon but the game keept glichting out after a few turns. All my other Pokemons were weak to the fighting type of her Lucario and my swabul was underleveld so I resorted to buffing it up and using heals while fighting her second Pokemon. Game didnt let me so I gave in and took like 1 hours leveling up my Swabul to lvl 35, after that the game just took my swabul away from me and replaced it with a Pokemon with the name TEXTBUTTON.
Your starter should be the only one in the fight doing the most damage it’s basically scripted to win that way cause if you always played with your starter in front it should be level 47 by the time you reach her. And the fact is she’s been weakened in the latest patches and I beat her in the earlier ones before they patched her difficulty at this point it’s just a skill issue
Just buy the "Aeroblast" TM from the shop, pretty much any Pokémon can learn it since TMs aren't restricted to types yet. I managed to beat her with a single Golduck on level 37. It one-shot the first two Pokémon, Lucario took 4 hits.
Loving it so far, super nostalgic. Noticed a few bugs during trainer battles where it will randomly freeze, especially against the second grunt with Lotad. Also, when my wurmple evolved, the game froze after the evolution screen. I also cannot get the fullscreen/window toggle to work in the settings, but that might actually be my own lack of know-how rather than a bug. Unsure. But keep up the good work! Love love LOVE this when it is working properly.
after beating Lucario, got in an infinite exp loop, Illumise is level 240 right now xD keep up the great work, game looks awesome! take your time, had to restart many times because of combat not continueing as it should
I keep running into the same issue when it comes to certain trainer battles, I've had to constantly save before hand and then soft reset to fix it. It's random and there's no avoiding it until the bug is fixed.
I just finished the demo, and while it was incredibly buggy (every issue mentioned by user @blash96 also happened to me), I still pushed through—and I’m so glad I did.
Here’s my honest take:
This is, without a doubt, one of the best Pokémon experiences I’ve had in years. I’m not including ROM hacks like Pokémon Unbound in that—this is better than any official Nintendo release since the Switch era began imo. It captures the old-school feel of what a Pokémon game should feel like, and that’s something i think fans like me (who’ve been playing since Red and Blue) have been missing for a long time.
That said, the bugs definitely affected the experience:
I constantly had to soft reset and save after nearly every step to avoid soft locks.
A major issue was the trainer not throwing Poké Balls at the start of battle.
Despite all that, the game’s Visuals and music, ARE AMAZING!.
I have no doubt the dev is aware of everything and will probably be reading the comments closely. If that’s the case, I truly believe the full game will become a classic in the fan-made Pokémon scene.
If you're looking for a real challenge in the final battle, skip the Dragonite—he can basically solo everything.
I’ve been having a lot of issues with the menuing such as the main fight menu appearing while having my bag open and the buying menu still open when closing out of the shop.
Dragonite and Onyx definitely helps in the final boss. i did not really struggle, i just used blazican and one shot all three pokemon. but the game over all was go.
I played through the entire thing now, overall a great experience! The final fight was kind of strange due to the high levels of the opponents. I was only able to beat them because I had captured Dragonite and Onyx, thus it felt like cheating. Still, for a demo it was awesome!
I also love to see that you constantly post updated versions. Looking forward to all the bug fixes :)
For pokemons that can use "bounce" it just stay in the sky forever i also experencing the infinite exp after having a battle fight with the boss/one of the main character sometimes the pokemon just not showing in the battle scene
I LOVE THIS GAME SO MUCH REALLY LOOKING FORWAD TO PLAY THE FINAL VERSION IT MUST BE AMAZING
THANKS FOR ALL OF THE BUEATIFUL WORK AND THOSE EFFECTS ARE STUNNING!
AND LITTEL SUGGESTION CAN YOU SKIP ALL OF THE "GAIN EXP" IN THE BATTEL SCENE WHEN SHARING THE EXP IS ON :)
Been fiddling with this for 30 mins now and i cant get it to work with my xbox one controller at all no matter what settings i use, guess i have to play with K&M
Edit: Finally got it to work by getting a ps5 controller and using DS4Windows and setting up a profile to mimic my keyboard. But i could not get any native controller support to work of any kind.
Also, Game keeps jumping in and out of fullscreen when going into settings menu, it is kinda annoying, not gamebreaking but annoying.
Amigos no exijan tanto recuerden que es el demo, es algo que le falta pulir y corregir, el trabajo está bien logrado y sabemos que para el proyecto final todo eso se arreglará... Fé en este equipo tan formidable!!!.
I was weirded out by the Gallade fight as well, especially since the trainer has a level 40 Lucario as well. After grinding for a long time and finally beating her, I can say that you are supposed to lose that fight and that's why they have such high levels.
I have played through the whole Demo now and I really like this game :) here are all the Bugs I have noticed:
Type
Description
Bug
at the very start when selecting a name, if you go back to previous dialog it looks itself in the character selection
Bug
My Cascoon evolved to Dustox but when checking it actually evolved to Beautifly instead
Bug
In Mysterious Island directly under the first bridge it is possible to walk onto the water (I had Marshtomp out behind me)
Bug
Marshtomp learned Aqua Tail early and then again at Lvl 25. The move seems to have the possible Number of uses as the Ability it replaced
(ex. 30 possible uses as it replaced Aqua Jet or 10 when it replaced Bide) though using one of the 2 Aqua Tails reduced the use pool of the other aswell. This Bug seems to happen for many Pokemon
Bug
It seems like the chance of fighting a wild pokemon in grass is 100% directly after a previous battle in grass sometimes, so if I exit a battle and move in any direction it will start the next battle and so on over and over until I am able to exit the grass
Bug
The first time encountering Stones that can be moved its possible to walk right over them. After switching area and comming back here it worked as expected
Bug
When the move "Aqua Tail" heals to full HP it always says it has healed 0 HP
Bug
When Pokemon is KO and asked to switch and I press cancel (B) then I cannot select a new Pokemon anymore and I am stuck
Bug
In Blooming Forest in the cave with the Stone Statue Puzzle when picking up the 5 Pokeballs, the game stops working sometimes
Bug
Every Battle refreshes Items on the ground in the Cave in Blooming Forest but taking them multiple times doesnt give the items multiple times
Bug
Paralyze seems to be 100% disable and also freezes the fight like 50% of the time completly (I think when the pokemon would free itself? Or that looks like the animation for it atleast)
Suggestion
the selection of moves always resets when opening "Fight" again to the first move. Would be nice if last selection would be remembered
Suggestion
the rest sound of healing tents is like 10 decibels below ear damaging :D
Suggestion
In the Shop screen when buying items it is very confusing to need to use "select" to go higher or lower in number instead of "up" and "down"
Suggestion
The ability to swap move sequence in the pokemon menu would be nice to have
PS: (Spoiler for those who have not finished the demo) At the end Shaymin runs away and expects us to follow it. Is it already implemented? If so, where can I find it afterwards?
It would be nice if the character we chose at the start of the game appeared on the loading screen, because only the male character appears, but it's a nice touch to have the Pokémon we have in our team appear on the loading screen.
Has anyone found a work around for the bug where you can't even walk up the first staircase? (I just walk right through it) Or will I just have to wait for it to be fixed? Starting new save files doesn't work, even uninstalling/reinstalling doesn't work for me.
battles are bugged, moves deal different damage than they should, why my dragon claw do less damage than my ember (ik there is stab but it still shouldnt do that much damage) or maybe it just says the wrong number idk
buggy, PP bugged (share with the last move), flinch and 2 turn moves also dont work, and accuracy bugged, and apparently the TM's also dont work, cuz the moves only change name but still have the same stats

You can still skip this area and even more easily with a glitch

pokemon disappeared on me on two different versions of the game after purchasing TMs
I found an infinite xp bug, you have to soft reset this part every time, an infinite experience bug always happens here
Your not the first he's still looking into it
how can i get my save to another device?
What other device it doesn't run on anything but Windows if you just want to move your save file from 1 version to another check his Twitter for the tutorial

xp glitch for yior is gone but i keep whiting out after ive revived my pkmn
How are people getting past the tall gras? Im like "stuck" in place because if I try to move or rotate im getting an encounter every single time, same goes for after soft resetting

Ngl im going crazy rn, stunning game but I have been stuck on the fight against Yior and I just cant beat it been stuck there for 4 hours, most of my pokemons are lvl 30-35 but they just keep being one shoted by the lucario which is why I decided to use some buffs moves on my Swabul when still fighting her other two weaker pokemons to get it to tank more, maybe survive and do some damage on the lucario, sadly the game just either crashes or stops working and im just staring at my screen not being able to do anything, the fight just doesnt continue.

Still amazing game, keep up the work and defenetly gonna keep playing this and all the versions that are gonna be released.
This is where the grind comes into play get your pokemon at least to level 40+
Dude, you get 300 exp for killing one pokemon and the Team magma battles are non repeatable. That would take me atleast around 1-2 Hours of killing Wild Pokemon to get them all to lvl 40. The problem isn´t rly the lvl´s of my pokemons cause I could kill Lucario if the game wouldnt stop working mid fight, Im buffing my swabul up and then it can take out the Lucario but the game doesnt let me.
If I can beat Yior with 2 Pokemon without glitching the game there’s something wrong with your play style
My tactic was just buffing up my swabul when fighting her second Pokemon but the game keept glichting out after a few turns. All my other Pokemons were weak to the fighting type of her Lucario and my swabul was underleveld so I resorted to buffing it up and using heals while fighting her second Pokemon. Game didnt let me so I gave in and took like 1 hours leveling up my Swabul to lvl 35, after that the game just took my swabul away from me and replaced it with a Pokemon with the name TEXTBUTTON.
Your starter should be the only one in the fight doing the most damage it’s basically scripted to win that way cause if you always played with your starter in front it should be level 47 by the time you reach her. And the fact is she’s been weakened in the latest patches and I beat her in the earlier ones before they patched her difficulty at this point it’s just a skill issue

You can fall through the world in version 66

after beating Lucario, got in an infinite exp loop, Illumise is level 240 right now xD
keep up the great work, game looks awesome!
take your time, had to restart many times because of combat not continueing as it should
sameee
I'm on Lenovo Legion go I'm seem to have connection issues because it detects it as computer inputs and controller inputs
my game got stuck mid battle and no button seems to do something to continue the game. Is this a complete soft lock or how can I resume the battle?
I keep running into the same issue when it comes to certain trainer battles, I've had to constantly save before hand and then soft reset to fix it. It's random and there's no avoiding it until the bug is fixed.
im pretty sure its based off some status effects like dodging moves or flinching if the opponent cant take their next turn the game bugs out
Have you tried toggling the joystick when this happens sometimes the UI just disappears and that's how to bring it back

Cool demo but I'll wait for playing this again when it's more stable because my Vulpix losing Ember due to a bug is not fun lol
Hello! I just downloaded the game! I'm about to write here every bug that i see:
Dragonite and Onyx definitely helps in the final boss. i did not really struggle, i just used blazican and one shot all three pokemon. but the game over all was go.
Did anyones onyx evolve mightyena?
yes, same here. My onyx evolved into mightyena as well lol. This game is definitely going to be one of my favorites across the board!
I played through the entire thing now, overall a great experience! The final fight was kind of strange due to the high levels of the opponents. I was only able to beat them because I had captured Dragonite and Onyx, thus it felt like cheating. Still, for a demo it was awesome!

For pokemons that can use "bounce" it just stay in the sky forever
i also experencing the infinite exp after having a battle fight with the boss/one of the main character

THANKS FOR ALL OF THE BUEATIFUL WORK AND THOSE EFFECTS ARE STUNNING!
AND LITTEL SUGGESTION CAN YOU SKIP ALL OF THE "GAIN EXP" IN THE BATTEL SCENE WHEN SHARING THE EXP IS ON :)
MacOS compatibility someday?
Yes pls
when you get to the pokeball station in the first ten min it freazes then goes all blank. BTW I LOVE THE GAME
i'm having some problems to play, my controller it's not recognized, i have tried to use XOutput, but it hasn't effect. Does anyone can help me?
Hey bro, I used x360ce first, configured control and worked out! Hope this helps.
Been fiddling with this for 30 mins now and i cant get it to work with my xbox one controller at all no matter what settings i use, guess i have to play with K&M

Can't walk after mudkip evolves into marshtomp
Yeah it's possible, just a pain as the odds for shiny Beldum gift are lower than most things in the game.
Thank you mate, ye kinda easy to get shiny starter but i've been soft-reseting for beldum for like 40 minutes.
Has anyone managed to get the Beldum as a shiny yet?
Do we know for sure, the odds for the shiny mons or any extra information would be great to know.
I have the Problem when one of my Pokemon Evolve, after the Evolotion my game get stuck and i cant move or do anything anymore...
But i love the Game
Amigos no exijan tanto recuerden que es el demo, es algo que le falta pulir y corregir, el trabajo está bien logrado y sabemos que para el proyecto final todo eso se arreglará... Fé en este equipo tan formidable!!!.
A level 12 Numel, a Level 18 Vulpix...
and a level 35 Gallade, this early in the game.
Kind of ridiculous for a level curve, it needs to be where the levels go up gradually instead of bosses spiking this hard in difficulty right away.
Also why is volbeat able to be female? It's a 100% male Pokemon ._.
It's a demo... chill... I highly doubt the difficulty curve will be this dramatic in the full release.
I was weirded out by the Gallade fight as well, especially since the trainer has a level 40 Lucario as well. After grinding for a long time and finally beating her, I can say that you are supposed to lose that fight and that's why they have such high levels.

I have not! curious how other ppl by-passed it, I just downloaded the latest version too
Walk south. thats it, there should be the staircase leading you back to the acual walkable path
battles are bugged, moves deal different damage than they should, why my dragon claw do less damage than my ember (ik there is stab but it still shouldnt do that much damage) or maybe it just says the wrong number idk
can u play this on 3ds?
This is a dumb question, OF COURSE NOT. And the fact your not the first idiot who asked this is dumb in and of itself
hahahah so true man xD
buggy, PP bugged (share with the last move), flinch and 2 turn moves also dont work, and accuracy bugged, and apparently the TM's also dont work, cuz the moves only change name but still have the same stats
Has anyone gotten the shiny Beldum yet? I've reset it like 500 times and still haven't gotten it.
Someone has alr gotten one but theyre file corrupted so the save is deleted and shiny beldum is gone now,
Also the chances are 1/2096 for a shiny if youre wondering
That was me and its been like 2 days retrying and still nothing. So I don't know if it's been locked or not
