The game looks amazing—excellent music, great lighting, and very clean gameplay. The downside is that I’m not sure if this is a rare bug or something else, but during my second battle with a Team Magma member, I used Beldum and, when I attacked, the game glitched and the battle interface disappeared. It left the game stuck in an infinite loop where both characters just stared at each other, and I couldn’t do anything. As I mentioned, I don’t know if this bug happens often or if it’s just a rare case, but if the developer is reading this, I really hope it gets fixed
The demo is buggy (but expected from a demo.) I've really enjoyed what I've played so far. I agree with another comment I saw saying sprint needs a toggle. I find a lot of the menus require a few inputs before it actually registers what I've pressed. I'd recommend anyone with less powerful pcs to run the game in compatibility mode as the game wouldn't work for me until I did that. I look forward to the full version and hopefully all the bugs can be fixed!
I don´t doubt the game is absolutely great, I even got the chance to play it even if it was just for a minutes, 'cause for me the game crashed in a battle with a Psyduck and tried to do a re start but ended up closing the game. I understand its a Demo and maybe is for the configuration on my pc or its capacity but weren't able to re-open the game. It kept telling me "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..." which I don't doubt on my pc, it's just that I weren't able to fix it. Even though, the few moments I played were amazing.
The game is very unbalanced... Im forced to grind for nearly 20 minutes just to fight a level 18 vulpix the whole level system is just unbalanced itself grinding level 4-8 while having to fight trainers with level 20+ pokemon hopefully this will obviously be changed in the full release.
I turned EXP share off and it gave me less EXP For the one pokemon i wanted to level up "faster".
my characters sprite and animations freeze and keep the menus from pulling up preventing me from battling and forcing a restart.
Theres a small chance im assuming for an infinite EXP glitch which is kind of difficult to move past because it prevents a menu from appearing to keep battling.
Keyboard and mouse isnt made for this game and the menus are kind of janky with it i hope it gets fixed.
The game is too quiet aside from the music of course. the whole overworld is just quiet theres no sound effects or anything some footsteps would really make it better. or a music change once in a whi;e
The evolution screen is also really underwhelming it just happens theres no fade in and out of the evolution and the whole thing is really quiet with nearly ZERO sounds except the music
The sprites for the pokemon are a little off Lotad was black and my grovyle is similar to shiny grovyle.
Encountered a Magma grunt in the ashen forest and it didnt force me to battle him so i talked to him then i encountered him twice at the same time?
You should add support for 1920x1200 everytime my menu changes my screen bugs out i was forced to lower my resolution to 1080p.
My settings dont seem to save and reset everytime i open the settings.
There was a small rock I could walk inside of from the top but couldnt from the side or bottom
My Grovyle used bullet seed then i used another attack and it proceeded to used bullet seed again after i attacked its very busted please fix it.
I was walking through ashen forest and it gave me the prompt of entering the mysterious island out of nowhere.
Hopefully these issues will be fixed because i seem to be the only one who has listed them.
no they litterly arent. EXP share thins out the EXP shared between pokemon and turning it off puts it all on one pokemon so you should earn more. EXP share was introduced in gen 5 and only worked between one other pokemon. the remakes of gen 2 and 3 had it between the entire party. turning it off would make the one pokemon you battle with gain more exp so you could grind easier for ONE specific pokemon.
Actually, the Exp Share has always been in the game since Gen 1. It was called the EXP ALL in Gen 1 and it wasn’t a held item. It distributed 50% of Exp gained between all non-fainted Pokemon in the party. It was renamed to Exp Share in Gen 2 and became a held item.
If you have caught 50 or more different types of Pokémon, Professor Oak's aide will give you EXP. ALL at the end of Route 15. you didnt get it right off the bat and back then it couldve been missed. In newer games you start off with it most of the time or get it really early
Yep! It’s quite common that most people don’t know this since the games are old and even if you have played them it isn’t common knowledge that the EXP ALL even exists!
My controller isn't registering with the game for some reason, and my pc controls use WASD instead of the arrow keys to move. Game also freezes on me quite a lot, haven't even made it past the delibird mailbox at the start of the game. One of the times it froze was with the first team magma grunt that is waiting near the grass after the tent with the starter pokemon ran past me then after the battle finished game froze lol.
there needs to be a setting to toggle the running so that holding shift isnt required
also the toggle for moves used in battle resets between using a move on the first turn and on the second turn if it is in any slot other than the first.
other than that game looks really promising so far will definetly be keeping a eye on this one
Love the game so far, my only complaint i havent seen listed so far is that when you turn down the volume sliders, the sound effects from the moves dont get quieter. its no game breaking bug, but it does force me to turn down my overall sound, which i dont want to do
hey i was playing and noticed that when i use aqua ring or drain and my pokemon is raised to full health it says has had 0 hp restored and also sometimes when my pokemon's speed is lowed or defense/Att is says 0 above the health bar. i also noticed when i am in the grass and press the d pad lightly forward the animation for the grass is there but there is no movement just thought i would give you some minor issue reports. other wise all the bugs i was expeirencing before have stopped
This game is really cool (better than the recent Pokémon game) ;) It's exactly what's missing from the new Pokémon games. I hope the game continues to be developed. There are a lot of bugs that frustrate me, like the grass issue. I don’t know if it’s just me, but sometimes I can’t even walk through the grass without getting attacked instantly. Also, I had to use Alt+F4 a few times because the game would stop showing the interface during battles, which left me stuck. And settings like "DOP" work at first, but then stop working after a while. Even though this game has quite a few bugs (which is normal), I really want to congratulate the work that went into this fangame <3
I’m stuck falling out of the map over and over again. I tried soft-reset and restarting the game. I think the save file might be bugged but I don’t wanna lose my progress. Can anyone help?
¡Qué juegazo! Llevaba tiempo esperando este juego, y la verdad es que no decepciona. Artísticamente es una maravilla, tiene una buena historia, combates geniales y momentos muy bien logrados. Si acaso, el único detalle negativo es que está un poco desequilibrado en la dificultad, pero fuera de eso, ¡es una joya!
Ojalá que Nintendo no se dé cuenta..
PD: No seas malo, haz una continuación Aunque prácticamente seria jugar al Esmeralda normal, jajaja.
Che hay un bug con el combate de la Mercernaria Yoir, mi Migthyena o su posicion de tercer pokemon hace que al derrotar gallede y lucario gane XP sin fin xd
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 cant get steam to recognize the game and everytime i extract it to a file or drag and drop it to desktop the game quits working wont start and says error idk what else to do to try and get this game to work

The demo is buggy (but expected from a demo.) I've really enjoyed what I've played so far. I agree with another comment I saw saying sprint needs a toggle.

A Few complaints...
The game is very unbalanced... Im forced to grind for nearly 20 minutes just to fight a level 18 vulpix the whole level system is just unbalanced itself grinding level 4-8 while having to fight trainers with level 20+ pokemon hopefully this will obviously be changed in the full release.
I turned EXP share off and it gave me less EXP For the one pokemon i wanted to level up "faster".
my characters sprite and animations freeze and keep the menus from pulling up preventing me from battling and forcing a restart.
Theres a small chance im assuming for an infinite EXP glitch which is kind of difficult to move past because it prevents a menu from appearing to keep battling.
Keyboard and mouse isnt made for this game and the menus are kind of janky with it i hope it gets fixed.
The game is too quiet aside from the music of course. the whole overworld is just quiet theres no sound effects or anything some footsteps would really make it better. or a music change once in a whi;e
The evolution screen is also really underwhelming it just happens theres no fade in and out of the evolution and the whole thing is really quiet with nearly ZERO sounds except the music
The sprites for the pokemon are a little off Lotad was black and my grovyle is similar to shiny grovyle.
Encountered a Magma grunt in the ashen forest and it didnt force me to battle him so i talked to him then i encountered him twice at the same time?
You should add support for 1920x1200 everytime my menu changes my screen bugs out i was forced to lower my resolution to 1080p.
My settings dont seem to save and reset everytime i open the settings.
There was a small rock I could walk inside of from the top but couldnt from the side or bottom
My Grovyle used bullet seed then i used another attack and it proceeded to used bullet seed again after i attacked its very busted please fix it.
I was walking through ashen forest and it gave me the prompt of entering the mysterious island out of nowhere.
Hopefully these issues will be fixed because i seem to be the only one who has listed them.
dude thats how some of the old games are turn on xp share
no they litterly arent. EXP share thins out the EXP shared between pokemon and turning it off puts it all on one pokemon so you should earn more. EXP share was introduced in gen 5 and only worked between one other pokemon.
the remakes of gen 2 and 3 had it between the entire party. turning it off would make the one pokemon you battle with gain more exp so you could grind easier for ONE specific pokemon.

Yeah this. Gen 5 definitely did not introduce it lmao
Well no matter the game is just full of bugs and whatnot. yall are ignoring the point and focusing on one singular thing.
If you have caught 50 or more different types of Pokémon, Professor Oak's aide will give you EXP. ALL at the end of Route 15. you didnt get it right off the bat and back then it couldve been missed.
In newer games you start off with it most of the time or get it really early
Yep! It’s quite common that most people don’t know this since the games are old and even if you have played them it isn’t common knowledge that the EXP ALL even exists!
i thought the game came out today. or is the demo the full version?
im pretty sure its updates to the demo like bug fixes
My controller isn't registering with the game for some reason, and my pc controls use WASD instead of the arrow keys to move. Game also freezes on me quite a lot, haven't even made it past the delibird mailbox at the start of the game. One of the times it froze was with the first team magma grunt that is waiting near the grass after the tent with the starter pokemon ran past me then after the battle finished game froze lol.
Game froze for me in the same spot
How do you connect the switch controller?
One think i'd add for qol is mouse controls in the menus / battle for people who dont wanna use a controller
there needs to be a setting to toggle the running so that holding shift isnt required
also the toggle for moves used in battle resets between using a move on the first turn and on the second turn if it is in any slot other than the first.
other than that game looks really promising so far will definetly be keeping a eye on this one
Please, add hypnosis soon lmao!

Love the game so far, my only complaint i havent seen listed so far is that when you turn down the volume sliders, the sound effects from the moves dont get quieter. its no game breaking bug, but it does force me to turn down my overall sound, which i dont want to do
A lot of trees are now dissapearing on my face, it was working fine on previous versions
I mean they are totally dissapering, im even able to go through zones where there should be trees
team magma made the ground disappear and i fell to the earths core lol
same i have no idea how to fix it
hey i was playing and noticed that when i use aqua ring or drain and my pokemon is raised to full health it says has had 0 hp restored and also sometimes when my pokemon's speed is lowed or defense/Att is says 0 above the health bar. i also noticed when i am in the grass and press the d pad lightly forward the animation for the grass is there but there is no movement just thought i would give you some minor issue reports. other wise all the bugs i was expeirencing before have stopped

can i take a save file to a new download? want to update but want to keep my shiny, if some one could give me a how to it would be greatly appreciate
It's quite easy check his Twitter for the tutorial I've been doing it since Version 1
Is it possible to get shiny dragonite doing soft-reset?
I recommend not saving directly in front of him because I believe that's how my file got corrupted
the download doesn't work anymore
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.

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
as soon as the battle ends hold down a direction and the run button
shop bugs if you switch section while buying

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.

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
