Released Tales of the Outskirt Stand

Angelo's sprite isn't quite lined out with the background square on the trainer card.


When Willie says "For real! Let's have a quick battle!", the choices aren't shown above the text box. (Essentials only positions the choices above the text box when the show choice command is used immediately after a show text command, so the label command you've got there is throwing it off)

There's a couple cutscenes where Willie brings Angelo somewhere new, and there's a glimpse of Angelo in the map on his own before the cutscene loads and Willie and Angelo are put in place. (I think it was just the first Pokespot and Crystal Springs)

When Kyan Village is attacked, if the player steps into the outdoor Outskirt Stand map from an interior, the regular music plays for a moment before the Snagem theme starts.

Gonzap's battle theme seemed to have a few seconds of silence at the start, don't know if that was intended for pacing.

If the player saves and reloads before fighting Ardos, there's no music playing on the map. (unless it's reloaded, strangely, like moving to another map and coming back, then it's fine)


Miror B's sprite is cut off at the top.

This is probably a bug with base Essentials' handling of shadow Pokemon, but I figured I'd report it here all the same. It's a bit of a specific scenario, but if a shadow Pokemon with Thief steals a held item from the player's Pokemon, and the player catches the shadow Pokemon, that

I'm not positive this is an error, but I noticed that the Never-Melt Ice, Silk Scarf, and Twisted Spoon are all missing from the vendor that sells type-boosting items.

A few lines of text are too big for the UI - a lot of these are just canon names getting bigger over time, but there's a few that were specific to TotOS. -

• Brambleghast's name is too long for the databox
• Shadow Laser's description is too long
• Electromorphosis is too long for the Pokemon Storage UI
• The terrain TMs are too long for the mart UI

A few tile errors in Kyan Village -


It looks like you might've used the sprite autopositioner? That has the nasty habit of putting floating Pokemon on the ground.

This also happened with Murkrow, and possibly Dusclops? Couldn't remember how high it usually floats.


This event couldn't be interacted with when I first entered the town.


Direction fix isn't turned on for this chest, so if you interact with it from the side, it seems to vanish.


Willie's mom still has through turned after the cutscene. (I think it was just left on from a move route, it wasn't left on the event page)


I couldn't walk through the two tiles to my right here? Not sure if that was intentional.

Scents couldn't be used on Shadow Pokemon outside of battle - they didn't display a "won't have any effect" message like when used on a non-shadow Pokemon, there just wouldn't be any message and the item wouldn't be used.

This may just be a limit of working in Gen 4's style, but there's times where sprites will kinda clip over walls into the void.



I think this is just an issue of a space between the periods here?

There are mints obtainable on Day 4, though, so you'll be able to change it no problem.

Tried a few times with my team of Flygon, Drudgion, Incinceoer, Koalasal, Wobufet, Rimbombee, all shadows. Purified my Primarina after training it a little bit more and brought back Bellibolt and it went a lot smoother. Helped my Drudgion had Outrage. Oddly the bit after was a lot easier but I guess that makes sense.

I saw Shadow Dragonite on the pbs. Is this in the game or something yu intend to add later or something you thoguht of putting in and decided against? Maybe you origonally intended to give to Ardos as a counterpart to Edros's Salamenace?

The Shadow Dragonite is just a carryover from the shadow pokemon data left in base Essentials. Shadow Dragonite was already in XD in the first place, though I suppose there is still other Shadow Pokemon with some overlap

Really really good! I don't have anything bad to say so this will be pretty brief. Just a really nice, clean, polished, beautiful, complete experience! All the many many many animations were super awesome. The plot was engaging even though I've never played the colosseum games. I loved the setting of the Outskirt Stand, a sort of neutral waterhole in a land run by many factions. I loved all the characters, especially my boyfriend Willie. I found the (totally not) sextuplets extremely funny. Balance felt about right for a game that provides a bit of challenge. Shadow Pokemon were cool and I enjoyed all the diverse shadow moves.

I had a blast, you really outdid yourself! Good job!
