Plot

A life of poor decisions has led you to this moment, the moment where you commit your greatest transgression. In the final moment, you are saved by a mysterious figure and given a chance at redemption. Can you, with your memories wiped and true goal unclear, fulfil the terms of your unbreakable covenant and be born anew? You must traverse the ethereal land of Varia and overcome the seven Vices that represent the aspects of your shattered heart, endeavoring to collect the mementoes along the way that will allow you to piece together your forgotten past.​

Features
o Stunning Generation 2 style Graphics and systems, built with Essentials GSC.
o New regional forms that match the narrative themes of Varia, with some cameos from Pokemon Rosen!
o A tight, well-thought out Pokédex numbering only 251.
o Custom trainer battles that make the epic moments more challenging and memorable.
o Edited tilesets to make every location distinct. A world that changes as you progress. Revisit old locales for new suprises!
o Missable adventures that incentivise exploration.
o A story that alters course based on what you discover.
o Old characters from other generations are holidaying in Varia!
o Several hours of content up to the third Vice.​

Changes in Varia

The team has dwindled somewhat since the creation of the demo, though progress is arguably even faster than before. Full writing credits for any future updates belong to @ValiantSoul and we will not be seeking a new Writer to fill the previous role. We have added @Dingerfish to our team to help us loop some of the exisiting OST, and hope to have our own custom tracks soon.

We would love to have a new Artist join the team to contribute to the stellar work already done by @ali760 and will be doing a recruitment drive soon. If you happen to read this, and know anyone who could help us out, please hook us up!​

quick question do the mints work?

Edit: Ignore my previous answer! They were indeed bugged (I guess in Essentials GSC by default?); I fix'd them now. Redownload to fix that and another glitch in Gym #1 that'll halt progress :]

[ROTOM,6]
FormName = Varian
Type1 = ELECTRIC
Type2 = PSYCHIC
BaseStats = 70,30,97,51,95,97
EffortPoints = 0,0,1,0,0,1
Abilities = DOWNLOAD

That's Rotom! It's Electric/Psychic so it has a myriad of weaknesses, but it does have good defenses.

Just make sure you have a decent team around Lv13-Lv15 and you'll be fine though. It is only a Rotom :]

[MIMIKYU,2]
FormName = Beloved Form
Type1 = NORMAL
Type2 = GRASS
BaseStats = 75,60,105,85,50,105

[MIMIKYU,3]
FormName = Unloved Form
Type1 = NORMAL
Type2 = GHOST
BaseStats = 75,70,75,125,60,75

Mimi on the other hand does not have good defenses. Dark-type moves are your friend on the li'l fella, after you break its Cosplay (multi-hit moves are good for driving past this)! All it is is fast, really, and it has no recovery so you're golden just by attacking into it.

It was absolutely NOT working as intended buddy! Dead right. I'd missed adding a li'l section to the code that made it work (it would've broken with SE hits though...!) if you redownload, that's fix'd now :]

In Port Charon some of the tilesets we arent able to move across like the beach area in like the lower area.
Also the Gate that connect route C and Port charon if you try to leave to route C you get sent to the starting area town (I dont remember the name)
If you sieep in the silver suite from the B&B you get softlock on the door.
The gold suite door that the 'Boos' is in is actually a warp to the Gate for Port Charon

i found another interesting bug maybe the other version had it idk but the tiles for the the "rival" are separated meaning i can fight them twice.
In Platinum Saucer probably a player event not happening that crash the game its a
'Game event' undefined method 'xm' for #<Game_Player:0x11641608>
I guess also add that the sidequest of the guy that stuck and need a gooey mon appear twice one still stuck the other free not sure what happen once you finish the quest.

Thanks again for the #bugreport! The only one I didn't manage to find a fix for is the crash in the Platinum Saucer? I just ran around there for a while and didn't experience it. Could you specify exactly where the issue popped up?

Absolutely loving it so far, but I also ran into the bug in Platinum Saucer that is preventing me from progressing any further.
It doesn't matter if I take the upper or lower path, the game always crashes in roughly the same area.
