Interesting! It's fun to learn the thought-processes behind how stuff was made, especially games. But yeah, like I said, minimalism when in balance is fine and even cool. It's just that if it's too minimalistic, it takes away the incentives to explore and/or leaves room for feeling disappointed...

If I may, I would like to throw my two cents in and say that I feel the game may have too sparse an NPC and dialogue count. Especially NPCs. The lack of them has the effect of making the world seem empty, especially in the earlier towns and cities. Maps/areas being large and spacious only...

Did you ever get around to making this change/uploaded any new updates yet?

Awesome! And you're welcome. :D I've some experience playing Essentials-made Pokemon Fangames, so I know how some of the more recurring stuff goes.

Another duplicate item, this time it is tantalizingly a TM. The TM86 Grass Knot that's located on the small island at the Eladi Lake area is a duplicate. The Grass Knot TM can be found earlier in the game, in either one of the areas accessible before beating the 4th Reven Town Gym or even...

Yep. Just gotta redownload it. Your save file is stored in a separate location on your computer, so you can simply delete the old Aether and Chaos game folder before extracting the new one.

In that case, what about Bellossom? The Oddish line are all Grass/Dark, other than Bellossom who's just Grass like in canon. I just wanted to double-check if this was intentional. EDIT: On the subject of double-checking, the Aether-type move Lightfall's description says it deals damage and...

Thanks! And thanks in general for responding. :)

A couple of things I've noticed. The first is minor, the second mostly minor but also just inconvenient. The first is that since the recent update, I think the Pokémon Center maps have been made flush to the "left wall" boundary. That is, they don't pan to left as if they were in the center of...

Wait, how does this work? Does it only apply if the player's money is that low? 'Cause battling the wild Pokemon in, say, Tartha Fields doesn't earn anything sans Exp., not even when wild Meowth use Pay Day during a battle. EDIT: Using Teleport attempts to warp the player back to the...

In Eladi Cavern B2 (I think it was), you can obtain an Escape Rope from the item ball beyond the Rock Smash rock. (It's a Key Item version, for reader context.) However, by that point, you can just purchase the Escape Rope from the Poke Mart, as it becomes available to do so upon obtaining the...

I second the recommendation/suggestion to include NPC(s) and/or Trainer Tips signs, etc. through the early portions of your game that explain in-game what the Aether and Chaos Types do. Not only will this work nicely to enhance the feel of the world they game takes place in, it will of course be...

I still wish I knew how folks managed to properly complete that briefcase sidequest. :(

If I recall, the error is that when you try to speak to the Gentleman after doing what you're supposed to do, instead of giving you your reward or even acknowledging you've completed the task, you talk to you as if he'd already given you the reward, locking you out of proper completion. The...
