So I bought an ability patch to use on a frogadier but it's saying it won't have any effect? It's got torrent so I don't see why the ability patch wouldnt just change it to protean. Is it something to do with the fact I got it from lillith's house?

Edit: So i went and caught a froakie from starter park, and that also didn't change to protean. I'm gonna evolve it to a greninja to see if that's the case.
Edit 2: Upon evolving to greninja, it now has protean... idk why lmao

also why doesn't the modest mint work

Hello, i'm playing this game for a few days and i'm loving the concept very much, you can make it a must play for sure !
I'm experiencing a bug that y'all might know but i'm currently at rank 4 and the event to trigger rank 5 (champion come to visit) doesnt happen.
At this point I have my full lvl 100 Dragon team waiting for him...
I also experienced a bug when I'm lock in front of my bed when i just came back for vacation (oppulance)
Keep up the amazing work man loving every second of it !

I downloaded the game and decided to be a ghost type gym leader, I picked mismagius as a starter and was resetting for a timid nature but I got bold more than 10 times in a row, is that a bug or am I just extremely unlucky?

Downloaded the game, extracted and started since iam super hyped. Picked the fairy type and togepi as i liked to have togekiss as a gym boss pokemon for the trainers. but somehow its turns out that it seemed kinda buggy, atleast for me. First of all, it cant learn dazzling gleam. Googling showed that i should be able to learn it from the tm. Second thing is the moment it evolves it somehow ends to be a question mark and a pokemon named "Togepid". The next fight i encounter the game just crashes.

Is there a solution to this problem?

If the fonts in your game all look at the same as in the screencaps, then it might just be a bug where it's not detecting them at startup. It shouldn't affect gameplay besides being annoying at the start.

This game is sick! I love it and have been playing it for a few hours. I decided to be a Dark-type Gym Leader and had to hunt a bit to get my party to three. I have a Houndour as my starter and a Zorua and Noivern for back up. The Noivern wasn't easy to find but the hunt to find it was fun. Also the mystery gift help, I will not spoil the fun about what it is but I used that gift to fight trainers to raise money to buy pokeballs (since a Steelix ate all my pokeballs, trying to catch it. So far I must say it is impressive and I love Pokemon This Gym of Mine. I am recording the game as I play it and thinking of putting it on my channel as a let's play. I hope you do well and are chosen as a Jam spotlight this year. You have my vote. First Pokemon game I ever played as a Gym Leader instead of a Pokemon Trainer and that is dope!

how do i play the game?

I wasted so much time trying to find dark types or pokemon compatible with dark pulse and then i find out i can use any type of pokemon in the gym. Is this a bug?

BGDutch · Apr 7, 2023

Any way I can get help fixing this issue?

I'm on my Mac using Parallels if that's the issue.
Everything is up to date there and on my mac is up to date.

Again, any help would be appreciated. Please, and thank you!

You get an eevee after the main quest in one of the 2 first areas, you beat a girl with a team of eevee-lutions and then you gives you one

Hello, everyone! I have a small update on the progress of Pokemon This Gym of Mine. However, there is an issue I need to address regarding the sprite art of one of the regional varients.

So, it has come to my attention that the regional variants for Chinchou and Lanturn have come under scrutiny as of late.
For some players in the community, these sprites are uncomfortably close to certain racial stereotypes associated with Chinese people.
To everyone that did interpret this sprite in this way, please know that this was never my intention.
Regardless of any original intent, I will be making edits to these sprites to distance them from these negative stereotypes. My apologies for not noticing.
For comparison, here is what the sprites look like in comparison to their Johto variants:

The intention behind Umbal Chinchou and Lanturn was to, sort of, be a creepy parallel to their original forms. Umbal Chinchou's eyes, which are meant to be a minus sign to parallel the plus sign in Chinchou's design, is often viewed as slanted eyes, and the creepy smile in both designs is misinterpreted as buckteeth, which is a much more noticeable interpretation in Umbal Chinchou's design.

As for the information relating to v5.0.0, I have run into a major snag in development. To recap, I have been attempting to update this game to Pokemon Essentials v20.1. I knew this would be a bit risky, as Pokemon This Gym of Mine runs on Pokemon Essentials v18.1. And, lo and behold, I ran into an issue. When attempting to load my save, it threw an error after compiling and proceeded to delete my save file... I attempted to run the 20.1 version as a brand new game and it did not throw an error, meaning the issue comes when it tries to load the save.

I know I said that if previous saves were incompatible that I would continue on with version 18.1. However, there are still a number of reasons that I want to update to v20.1 Essentials. So, I decided to ask you guys how I should proceed. At the end of the day, you guys will have to play the game and wait for the update. As such, I want to hear your thoughts. How I see it, there are three ways I can go forward:

1. I can stay with v18.1.
This will require no additional dev time, but glitches such as the weather glitches and level-up glitches will, likely, be permanent issues in the game. In addition, I will lose out on the updated encounter capabilities of v20.1, meaning that any new Pokemon will be limited to newly added areas, and the new Pokemon I add will be limited. In addition, this may cause some Pokemon to be unnecessarily rare, as I cannot directly alter encounter rates in-document.

2. I commit to updating to v20.1, keeping up an updated version of PTGOM 4.0 as a legacy version.
This will require more dev time, but this will deal with glitches such as the weather glitch and the level-up glitch. In addition, this will allow for more robust encounters, potentially balancing out types such as Bug and Steel, which have been reported to be a bit underpowered. Also, I can look into allowing for multiple save files, as doing multiple playthroughs is quite popular in the community so this will make that easier. However, this does mean that this version will NOT be compatible with old save files.

3. I use this as an opportunity to completely overhaul Pokemon This Gym of Mine.
Let's face facts. This game was made 3 years ago, in a rush, and by an amateur game dev. There are a lot of things I had to bandage over just to make the game playable. Even with all the updates, there are still plenty of holes, such as the crazy amount of revenue buildings can generate, the point of reputation and reputation growth not being made clear, some dialogue needing a bit of refinement, and the fact that half of the game's ranks go by over the span of a minute. I could treat this as a chance to truly refine this game. Rebalancing encounters and buildings, giving a reason for ranks 5-7 to exist, amongst other things. In addition, I could look into plugins and resources, such as multiple save files, that could only be added to v20.1. Personally, this would be the route I like to go, but it would add quite a bit of dev time and would not be compatible with old save files. Just like with option 2, the old version of PTGOM will be kept up as a legacy version.

These are the three routes I feel I can go. No matter what, version 5.0.0 content will be included with the update and version 6.0.0 will come some time after. I want to see what you all think, and I am eager to hear your thoughts.

Either way, I hope you all have a nice day.

Hello Omegas, I would like to give you an answer as a developer that kind of experienced your situation but not in the same context. Also, my judgement is biased by the fact I just started the game so I don't mind reseting my save.

So I was at this company that had developed many web apps built on top of an intern library which itself was built on top of mui v4. However, we wanted to upgrade to mui v5. We didn't have to, but it was probably best to keep up with the main library.
Of course, there were many breaking changes and couldn't update all of the apps to the newer version of the intern library.

To fix this, we went with a solution similar to your 2nd's. We maintain two versions of the library, one is relying on mui4 and is the legacy. The other is relying on mui5 and is the "main". While in my case it was not too hard to give features to the two versions of the intern library, it's a bit of a hassle to manage the two when only one is used.

My point is if enough people playing on 4.0 care about the new changes of 5.0, you might want to give a short term support for the 4.0 as a legacy version. That, if you have time to maintain two versions of the game.

The 4th solution would be to find a workaround so 4.0 saves don't break in 5.0 but easier said than done.
