Released Pokemon This Gym of Mine

MMMm Games · May 5, 2021

This is my new favorite Pokemon fan game. A shame I'm stuck after the kidnapping scene. How do you get past that? The woman never enters the ladder and I'm stuck.

Does taking any items from her cause it to hang? How did anyone get past this?

So I figured out how you're able to get past the broken part. Your captor will accept a big nugget and then she'll help you escape.

You can find a big nugget in the dragon's den. If you've already sold it, you're out of luck, but if you have it, you can keep playing.

Anyone who got past this part probably did so because of this. So if you find a big nugget, NEVER sell it! It's required to progress.

So I just got to the postgame and whenever enter cold steel cavern it says I can’t leave without the icy rock and am basically soft locked there.I think this is a bug and hope it’s fixed soon

Does anyone know where Edgar is I'm trying to find him.

TrailMix · Jun 8, 2021

hello! I've just found your game and I'm really loving it so far!!! The idea is great and the way you executed it is wonderful! I don't know if you still are working on this game or not but if you are i do have one little bug that i wanna address once i made it to the mall i went to the third floor (where i assume the tms are) but every time i speak to the employee there the game crashes but overall its an amazing game!

ShiroSky · Jun 18, 2021

Loving the game so far, chose dragon which has a good number of readily available pokemon.( although I wish the exception was with dragon pulse as I want to use skrelp/dragalge but skrelp can't learn dragon claw:( so I'll have to wait and grind it up to lvl 48 if I want to use it. I can see why you chose claw over pulse though since a huge variety of pokemon can learn pulse, while dragon claw is very limited outside actual dragon pokemon). I actually chose dragon over grass solely because of skrelp( well not knowing what grass pokemon would be available in game also did as I was unsure of my three favorites-shroomish,skiddo or deerling-would be in game. Then again if I enjoy this enough playing through with dragon I can see myself replaying but as a different gym type( I'd do grass and dark as next favorites and poison or normal as challenges). Anyway great game I love anything that isn't the typical formula of gather badges.

There a problem i can't find the pokemon that is suitable for dragon claw my one and only pokemon almost lvl 100 just trying to find 1

There's a cave of dragon pokemon if you go right/east and for dragon claw move if you spend the time you to level up aron and I think larvitar to final evolutions they can learn it.

Been playing and a certain trainer is a godsend but I am also having trouble evolving sliggoo. I get it to the right level in the right level but an error message pops up and kicks me out of the game. ( The message states something about the weather).

Kinda getting disappointed, can't get goodra due to above error and the dragalge that I worked hard for doesn't count as a dragon pokemon for my gym( it is poison dragon typing so it should count) and since it can't learn dragon claw 2 of my all time favorite dragon pokemon are unuseable for my gym( was really excited for dragalge to set up battles and goodra to work as and unexpected ace....at least I can use my starter Hydreigon but disappointing nonetheless. I'm just glad I can use Aggron due to dragon claw....and I guess I could substitute Haxorus ( Really don't want to use the bagon line-surprisingly it is my least favorite dragon pokemon despite it being one of the best battle wise) . Despite my work so far I'm thinking of just abandoning the dragon gym and avoiding all gyms were I have pokemon I really love to avoid things like this.

16Gabs · Jun 25, 2021

Just wanted to say I LOVED this CONCEPT and I think the game does a pretty good job with it.
Unfortunately I also got stuck without a Big Nugget; but I'll probably play again and choose a different type.
The game gave me all 3 pokemon when I chose the grass type, but from what I read here, it shouldn't be like this, so it's problably a bug (?).
Anyway, loved the game, hope it continues and grows, and if there's a discord I'd happily get in it.
Take care

M@theusD. · Aug 14, 2021

This is my favorite fan game and I'd really like to tell you that I loved It, mostly because It's always been a dream of mine to actually be the Gym Leader in a pokémon game. I picked Steel type since it's my favorite and I managed to beat the game and I found everything to be perfect. But in the end...My only complaint about the game, and literally a only and single one is...the game turns out to be buggy sometimes.
My situation in here is...I already beaten the game, like I told before, and since I had nothing better to do, I decided to look for a shiny beldum at the Ice Cave...
Really bad choice If you ask me...Just like that my gym career is no more, my game softlocked me in the cave, and the worst parts are:
1. I already have not one but TWO Icy Rocks, but the game still won't let me leave the cave.
2. I saved while inside the cave, so I can't just reload outside it.

In fact, I understand this game is still in it's demo version and all, but If this could be done, please patch up those few last bugs people on the thread had brought up.
I know It must be easier said than done and I understand nothing about programming a hack ROM, but I'm asking as a fan, who really enjoyed the game, and had played It non-stop even after supposedly beating the game.
Thank you for your attention and have a good day

You don’t use an emulator to play this game. See this: How to play a fangame

Glaceon!! ^^ · Sep 26, 2021

I absolutely love this game, but I wanna know if the dev gave up on it, cause I've been holding out hope that all the bugs (There are a lot) will be de-bugged and we'll get a better version... And I don't want my hope to be false hope, so if anyone knows if the dev gave up on this game or something, then please kindly let me know...

Omegas · Oct 28, 2021

... My apologies for the wait. It was never my intention for Pokemon This Gym of Mine to only do yearly updates. I apologize for not keeping you guys as up to date as I should, but I am glad to see so many people are still interested in this project. Sincerely, thank you all.

As for the game itself, shortly after this post, the game will be updated to version 3.0. This update is another overhaul with a focus on game balance and eliminating any game breaking bugs associated with the game's main story, and one notable sidequest.

Without further ado, allow me to share with you what I have in store for this game...

Overall updates:

The game is now using Pokemon Essentials 18.1 as opposed to version 17.2!
The game now includes Pokemon, Movesets, Abilities, and items from Generations 7 and 8!
Credits will be updated accordingly

Game Balance:

As mentioned in a previous update, the starter Pokemon have had their stats updated to have a BST of 600.
New forms called Umbal forms are now available! For more information, please refer to the Spoiler tab:

Umbal Forms were added to the game to help with game balance. In previous versions, certain Starters could be found in the wild, allowing for full teams of Base 600 Pokemon. This was something I was hoping to reserve for the Dragon Gym Leader path, and this also made certain Starters feel less special. As a result, these Umbal Forms were added to the game:

With Umbal Onix and Smeltix, I wanted to do more than recreate Onix and Steelix with new paint. I wanted to give them a playstyle that the other cannot offer. Onix (Rock/Fire) and Smeltix(Steel/Fire) can have the new ability Final Touch, which boosts the power of super-effective moves. This gives these normally defensive Pokemon a bit of an offensive presence their counterparts often lack, and the extra Special Defense on Smeltix gives it some survivability against moves that would otherwise scare off Steelix.

Onix evolves into Smeltix at Level 32

Did you know Cherrim's ability Flower Gift is supposed to boost the Attack and Special Defense of it and its allies? Me neither. As such, Umbal
Cherrim(Grass/Dark or Grass/Fairy) has stats that can take advantage of this boost. Overcast has high Special Attack and decent defensive stats to make setting up sun easier and Sunshine has high Attack and Special Defense that can turn it into a surprisingly bulky sweeper!

Umbal Chinchou(Water/Dark) and Umbal Lanturn(Water/Dark) take the normally special-oriented Pokemon and turns them into bulky physical attackers with an emphasis on biting attacks. It can still have Volt Absorb as an ability if you want to go with a more defensive route.

This set of Steel/Dragon Pokemon play similarly to their counterparts and are the only Forms that are almost identical to their original forms. If you are looking for a solid Umbal Form that doesn't operate too differently from its cousin, these forms can slot onto almost any team with little issues, aside from it not being compatible with your Gym of course...

Trainers that challenge your Gym have been altered to better scale to your team's expected power level. As your reputation grows, the Trainers may start coming at you with a startegy unique to them.
Wild Pokemon now scale to your team's level and the wild encounters change depending on your Gym Leader Rank.
While the levels of Trainers you encounter in the field will vary quite a bit, but they, also, grow stronger as you get a better reputation. If you feel like you are lagging behind, try challenging Trainers you have beaten before!

Bug Fixes:

Fixed a variety of game-breaking bugs associated with the Badlands!
Fixed an issue where you could get stuck doing the Gym Guide's quest. (If you are having issues, make sure to get the Icy Rock, even if you have already gotten it before. You should leave the area automatically and the game should update accordingly.)

Known issues:

One issue is that older save files may find their moves to be scrambled. This is due to the movesets being updated to Gen 8. To remedy this, check your mailbox. In it there should be 24 Heart Scales, enough for 6 Pokemon to relearn 4 moves. This should be enough to at least get your Gym Team back on track.
Aside from this, most issues are either cosmetic, or have very little impact on the game.
If any issues are discovered, please let me know.

Thank you all once again for your patience. I hope that this update will provide a smooth and fun experience for you all. The update will be live a little while after this post. There should be nothing keeping anyone from finishing the game to completion. Unless there is a new major game-breaking bug discovered, this game may take a bit of a backseat to other projects I have in the works. That isn't to say that I will stop updating this game, but updates usually won't be this massive going forward, except for on a rare occasion. I am far from done from this game and there is still plenty I want to implement! Even Gym Leaders need a vacation, don't you think? For now, I hope you all enjoy what this game has to offer. Hope you all have a nice day!

Hey, it's good to see this is being worked on again. I decided to start a new save file so I didn't run into and compatibility issues but about 10 minutes or so into the game I got the following messages in my error log.

Thank you for playing! If you can, could you let me know the moveset Larvesta had at the time and about what level it was? I want to make sure this isn't an issue with one of Larvesta or Sandshrew's moves, as well. If you can, just send me a DM or post it here so I can check.

lind113 · Oct 31, 2021

Hi, just want to say that I think this is my favourite Pokemon fangame so far? Also, got some weird results from the starter pokemon received from Lillith's house, so I tested all the options and wrote down the results.

Number picked, type picked: Pokemon received - Special move
1, fire: Charmander - Wild Charge
1, water: Squirtle - Shell Smash
1, grass: Bulbasaur - Quiver Dance
2, fire: - Cyndaquil - Dragon Dance
2, water: Totodile - Head Smash
2, grass: Chicorita - Cosmic Power
3, fire: Torchic - ExtremeSpeed
3, water: Mudkip - Sludge Wave
3, grass: Treecko - Stone Edge
4, fire: Chimchar - Wild Charge
4, water: Piplup - Brave Bird
4, grass: Turtwig - Amnesia
5, fire: Tepig - Head Smash
5, water: Oshawott - ExtremeSpeed
5, grass: Snivy - Swords Dance
6, fire: Game proceeds as normal, no pokemon given
6, water: Game proceeds as normal, no pokemon given
6, grass: Game proceeds as normal, no pokemon given
7, fire: - Litten - Icicle Crash, also given Scorbunny - Play Rough
7, water: Popplio - Quiver Dance, also given Sobble - Earth Power
7, grass: Game crashes
8, fire: Game proceeds as normal, no pokemon given
8, water: Game proceeds as normal, no pokemon given
8, grass: Game proceeds as normal, no pokemon given

Italics is non-game breaking stuff that's probably not supposed to happen, Bold is game-breaking.
Also, numbers 7 and 8 display as a second set of 4 and 5.

I thought it might be useful if I wrote this down?

The game's story is playable to the end, but the game is still a work in progress.

Is it just me or did anyone else have a type change in tm? (I chose the grass type but somehow the energy ball tm (pre 3.0) is now a bounce tm)

Yeah, it happened with me too! (I also chose grass).

Ultimately I decided to start a new run, cause I didn't wanna think about all the prior movesets.

But yeah, happened to me too
