Playing it and I found a shiny Makuhita... In dewford Cave... when I had Ava and her wind cutting beautifly... It appeared with an Abra...

Suffice to say I could not catch it :(

I was wondering if there was a place to get a dawn stone... really hoping I can get a gallade.

Oh no! That's unlucky haha.

You can get a dawn stone later in the game at Slateport City. Thanks for playing!

Hiya! I was immensely enjoying your work when I found myself stuck, unable to advance any further past Lilycove (Episode 6).
What I did was:
1. Battled the two Aqua Grunts en route to Aqua Hideout, by the seaside.
2. Defeated them, after which triggered the dialogue that makes them back out of the way, and saw to them clear the path.
3. Went back through the Hoopa gate to the lab to heal back up.
4. Came straight back to Lilycove to find the two grunts respawned back up in their original position, but no A-button interaction (c on keyboard) was able and I am unable to move pass them, as they've essentially become terrain(the colliding sound effect is heard).
5. Here is where I made an embarrassingly dumb mistake of saving the game...
6. Resetting the game did not work, because of my undoing at step 5.

Please help! My save file is probably done for, but I'd like to see this problem resolved lest other users wind up like me.
Or is there a way I can access my previous save files...? Thanks.

Sorry about the bug! Would you be able to send me your save file (via discord or dms)? I will be able to fix that for you.

Loving this game so far, I just wish I knew how to evolve my Feebas! I'm on episode 6 and haven't found a prism scale yet, and none of the evolution stones are compatible. Would love some help!

Sorry, I didn't think about Feebas when I made this game, so you can't evolve it.

Cafalla · Jan 26, 2023

Just finished the game, this was such a cute adventure! My favorite character was Ava, she was always trying her best :') The remade versions of the towns and routes were fun to revisit, and there was a nice variety of Pokemon to choose from. Gen 3 has such good Pokemon! I think you did a great job. Thanks for the great game :)

-----Thoughts-----
This is my second Pokémon fangame, and I am very happy with it. Compared to "The Rising Sun" (my first game, also set in Hoenn), Littleroot Researchers has better graphics, story, characterization and gameplay. I spent way too much time on this game, and I'm pretty burnt out. However, I really pushed myself this time to create something special. I created fogs for the first time and also two music pieces for the game (Intro + Petalburg Woods).
I hope you enjoy it! No more four-hour jam games from me, and definitely no more Hoenn games.

Thanks for playing! You're the best!

For the judges: This game doesn't use the "Rejuvenation" challenge theme
This game was created for Relic Castle's Game Jam #7!

A great game, i finished it. However there was a bug where the hiker's Tropius in Dewford Town couldn't use any moves, an error message was showing up. But I really enjoyed the gameplay.

i think this is so cute oh my god

Krochire · Feb 11, 2023

Hey, enjoying the game at this state but I was wondering what dragon type pokemon are in the game because I wanted to make an only dragon types team. Thanks you in advance !

Hey there, unfortunately Altaria is the only dragon type pokemon you can get in this game.

Will_or_Mike · Feb 19, 2023

Ok cool, so, after you finish the game, the lotads are not there anymore to help you, but not quite: you can interact with them even if they're not there but you will go in the opposite way, and then you get stuck in the trees because of the map collision.

I hope this helps.

ragnowolf · Mar 20, 2023

first of all let me tell you that i Love this games! but there is a kinda annoying bug, which is the focus slash not working. I wanted to make the typical endeavor + focus slash and quick attack, but my mon gets 1 hit anyway, I've tried with some other mons and it is the same
