It is impossible to pass the first trainer (hiker) in the second room (down the first ladder) of Volcano Cave. Please fix, since you cannot progress in the game as is.

Wow, you're already that far into the game?
Thank you so much for playtesting. :)

I reduced the levels of the hikers in volcano cave slightly and changed the pokémon's move sets.
Hopefully they should be beatable now.
If not, please tell me what exactly the problem is. A certain pokémon or move or too high level etc.

Otherwise, you should be able to avoid them altogether I believe. :)

EDIT: Never mind. I see what you mean by impassible now. ^^ Stupid blunder. I'll fix that right away.
EDIT2: This time FIXED for real. Hiker was moved further down, so that he doesn't block the path.

I'm surprised that I didn't catch this during playtesting. But I did use the debug version, where I could walk through walls. :p

So where is Surf? I'm in Rain Town and I've talked to everyone. No one gives me HM03 Surf. I'm stuck here after being gym #4.

TakakoJin · Apr 24, 2018

Hi ^^
Surf is supposed to be given to you in a house between routes 510 and 511.
I may have marked it wrong in the excel sheet. :p Oops.
Hope this helps and thanks for playing. :)

Is it the Seaside Cottage? I went in there and all I got was a good rod. I'm playing Aster Violet.

You're right. The game was in development for about a year, so I misremembered. Sorry again. orz

Turns out that I'd forgotten to set a certain flag for the NPC (in Rain Town) who gives the HM03.
I fixed it for the new version. Now you should be able to get the Surf.

Btw. Just download and run the new version. It'll automatically use the old game save. :)

Question: Is there something I'm missing? My Staravia and Flaafy aren't evolving. They're both level 36. And for Iris Purple, I get the stones to evolve Eevee but I don't get Eevee, please help.

Hi. Thanks for playing Iris Purple :)

Flaaffy evolves by using the Sun Stone which is in the tunnel on Route 524. :)
Likewise Staravia evolves with the Bird Stone found in the Mountain Forest on Route 517. Many evolutions have been altered to use evolution stones.

The location of the stones (and all other items) can be found in this document: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1t29XrlKCSa3hiQt15HFRq1WTlqHvJOedyGHDyTGsgzY/edit?usp=sharing

As for Eevee, it can be found in the wild on Route 508 and the forest on Route 503. It is somewhat rare though.
~~Alternatively, currently a shiny Eevee lv 33 is available as a Mystery Gift.~~ :) Just click A on the paper on the counter in the mart, "fill out" the form, save the game, and upon restarting click Mystery Gift between "New Game" and "Options" before resuming the game.

I've checked the map and it only shows the town maps/gym names. Whereabouts are Route 524 and 517 in terms of town names? I've looked and can't find any @TakakoJin

Both Routes are kind of late in game.
On the map Route 524 is marked as Cross Tunnel (yellow marker in the middle of the map) and 517 as Mountain Forest (green marker in the south).

There is a way to get to Cross Tunnel early from Mt Back. But you'll need TM94 Rock Smash, which is a hidden item on the tiny island on Water Route 505, between Cloudy Town and Breeze Town.

Hope this helps. :)

I don't know where I go after the 5th gym D:

Hi :)
You are talking about the Gym in Misty City, right?
From there you have to go south to Tide Town and then west from there.
You will receive HM04 Strength on Route 515 there, which you will need in the Ice Cave.

Are you running the newst version of the game? Otherwise there might be an NPC blocking the way inside the cave.

Hope this helps. :)

@TakakoJin Thank you for your help >< where do I go after the last gym? Is there fly in this game? I've looked on the map. Victory road is like near the beginning town but i don't know how to get there other than walking/biking, help!

Thanks! Enjoying and loving the game so far :blush:

Thank you. ^^ Knowing that you enjoy the game makes it all worth it. :)

Yes, after beating all 8 gyms, the next stop is Victory Road.

You can either go directly north from Smoke City, using Surf/Waterfall outside the east gate.
Or you can get HM02 Fly from an NPC in Weather Town, after you retrieved her stolen bag.

There is some post-game content after you beat the Elite Four.
There is a Battle Frontier north of Mt. Back. (You have to find another exit in Mt Back to get there.)
And there are 5 legendaries in certain caves and buildings.

I hope you also enjoy the rest of the game. ;)
Can I ask if there was a part that felt too easy, too hard or too long?

And I would love to know what your team is when you enter the Hall of Fame. :)

Enjoy! ^_^ ~TJ

@TakakoJin

I seem to have not have rock smash so I can't progress with the game D:
My team currently:
Level 58 Staraptor
Level 64 Wyveon
Level 63 Machamp
Level 62 Ampharos
Level 63 Sharpedo
Level 64 Decuidueye

Accidently used the return stone on Staraptor and made it go back into a Starly that's why its so low compared to the rest

Hi, thank you for this feedback.

It made me realize that the location for Rock Smash is a mistake.
I updated the game, so now TM94 is given to you at the entrance of the Victory Road cave by an NPC.

I don't think Rock Smash is mandatory before that point.

Anyway, sorry about your Staraptor. ^^
And good luck taking on the League. ;)

I've looked but I don't see a npc near the entrance other than the Eevee trainer and the guard which don't give me anything. Am I missing something? D:

You have to download the new version. I updated the download link in the original post. ;)

Just finished the game and I have to say I am truly amazed, I just could not stop playing it. :blush:
