I already downloaded the game again and I get this error, no tampering has been done. Do I delete the whole game, like the whole file and redownload it cuz the main pokemon castaway file is here and I just downloaded again and used the new "Game" file.

Yeah that's what you would do. I downloaded the game myself and it worked fine for me so I have no idea.

Well I redownloaded and still get the error, I guess I can't do much about it and the progress and time was wasted. It was a hella good game tho. I love how unique the storyline is. Keep it up!

Welcome to Pokémon Castaway! The player is the (not-so) fortunate winner of a trip to Alola. On the flight there, however, the plane is struck down. Landing on the mysterious Bermada Island, the player is tasked with exploring their environment while searching for fellow survivors and a way off of the island. As the player traverses further inland, it becomes evident that the island is anything but deserted. Will the player find a way off the island? And, more importantly, will they get to go on an Alolan vacation?

Features:

Pokémon from across all seven generations

Extra secrets and minibosses to unlock

Roughly four to six hours of gameplay

Plenty of puzzles and challenges throughout

HM moves are usable on the field by the player themselves

Healing and storage access from Campfires due to lack of infrastructure

Not Pokemon Battle Royale

Creative and witty dialogue across different npcs

and so much more!

Notes:

This game is the product of just under a month’s worth of frantic DMing each other. I initially started the project solo and Ekat joined later on. It was kind of amazing how similarly we both think dev-wise. Then again, I suppose there’s nothing like scrambling to meet a deadline to make two people bond. (Think of it like signing a temporary truce with your siblings, to hide the lamp you broke and junk food you ate while your parents were out for the evening.) Creating this game together was a hectic blast, and we hope you have just as much fun playing our submission!

The link works fine for me. Just try again

Help I am a computer idiot. I downloaded the game on my laptop and on my phone and I can't find away to play it all I got is a bunch of files that won't out after unzipping them and pictures

TechSkylander1518 · May 23, 2019

It won't work on a mobile device. You should have a file called Game with an orange sun icon. Open that on your laptop, and the game will play.

LONG POST:

Pokemon Castaway: Your plane crashes and you are on Bermada Island, find a way to survive!

Love the premise and concept of the game, the story was executed brilliantly and you can't tell who is friend or foe until the very end which makes for a satisfying conclusion. Just finished playing and I couldn't get enough of it!!!! Imagine the sequel is set in Aloha~ *wink wink*

Solid gameplay; the graphics are great and the music really sets the mood :D The variety of environments (underwater, forest, desert, cave, beach, mist, swamp with glowing fireflies, riding on Lotad) is cool.

I didn't know the trainer himself could swim, that was a refreshing surprise! (I thought we needed TM's XD)

I just started the game a few days ago with Deerling but restarted and switched to Barboach, because the Water/Ground typing and it's moveset has more coverage, plus water moves do more damage in the never ending rain when you first get on the island hehe

Other notable mentions

The random Farfetch’d dojo
The Dragonscale Tower that reminded me of Bellsprout Tower in Gold/Silver version
The Mew Ditto fusion in the prison cell (sooo cute) and the Masterball fused Voltorb

Easter Eggs (non-spoiler)

On the TV screen of the main lobby of the underground science place, next to the bosses room, there is a missingNO poster with Red/Blue graphics XD

Just curious, what is the Temple Key used for?

It was the "precious item" you had to seek out during the tower segment - you placed it on the pedestal in the temple, remember?

There's also 4 end game super bosses. I assume you already fought the farfetch'd temple guy but there's two other around the world which unlocks the final boss if you're willing to explore a bit more. As well, there's some bonus content in the final area of the game if you haven't found it as well

Thanks for the reminder, I'm here re-traveling the game and the amount of Easter Eggs I've found have been great!!!

Kharnos · Jun 5, 2019

Hello, I'm new here and I was curious if I would be able to extract save data from one instance to another through any method, my reasoning is because I started playing this genuinely awesome game on a computer I no longer have access to. I did save the entire game to google drive as a last minute effort but I can't download it onto my PC, my guess is because it's on a different version of windows but my guess could be wrong. Any help would be appreciated. =]

TechSkylander1518 · Jun 5, 2019

Your save file should be located in C/Users/(Your Name)/Saved Games.

lokiedokie · Jun 7, 2019

how do you turn off the EXP share? I picked it up, and I don't know how to turn it off.

also, i caught a pokemon and decided not to put it in my party, and i can't find it in my pc now :(

Mkeyta11 · Jun 22, 2019

Hi, I started playing the game and got stuck early in the game, when you have to jump from rock to rock. Turns out I fell on a plant and can't even move.

pokebreeder25 · Feb 23, 2020

where do i go to remember past moves?

Dabadee · Mar 13, 2020

Just finished. It was great and I wished it lasted more!

The underground base gives a great sense of WTF once you find yourself in and I hope you thought about expanding the game explaining the motives and objectives of Serenity, it looks worthy. Or maybe I missed something...
I found the actual castaway, the dojo and the... monster funny as bonus bosses.

Overall this was great work, I really enjoyed it. Given you guys' attention to detail and how inspired you are I can't wait to see your longer works. Congratulations and thank you!

Hey thanks! If you're interested in our most ambitious project, I'd definitely recommend checking out here. The download link is currently down due to a huge revamp but there's a good amount of content around to give you an idea of what kind of game it is.

Apologies if this has been asked before, but I wanted to know if it's possible to turn off the exp share. I don't get the option when I click on it.

As far as I can remember, you can't turn it off, mind you its been years since I worked on the game.
