Latest Demo's content: 4 Gyms/Up to Route 213

The highest leveled Pokémon at that point would be Jupiter's level 23 Skuntank. Gardenia's Roserade is at level 22.

I would maybe say Mega Roserade just to throw the player off, so instead of making the game easier with mega evolution, balance it with the gym leaders using megas.

I think the second gym having a mega would be a bit much, especially since I already gave her a bigger and more varied team than what she had in the original, but I'm thinking of giving Fantina a mega Sableye because it's one of the less OP megas.

Hey, just a suggestion, perhaps add fast-forward/speed-up. It could improve gameplay significantly

I had already attempted this, and the speedup script I used added a lot of choppiness to the frames, so I ultimately decided against it, sorry if you were relying on that being in the game. Maybe if I could make it only toggleable in battle, but I don't know how to do that so for now it won't be included

What about Mega Mismagius? I included a sprite I made for the Pokemon and Mega Stone (Mismagiusite)

You really just made that? That's incredible! I'll use that, but I also need a backsprite for it, in the gen 4 style. I'll add your name to the credits and if you create any others, I'll add them too.

Wow! Thanks so much! I can help out with some sprites for sure! For the typing, I would say Ghost/Fairy. The ability... Magic Guard? I'll work on the backsprite too!

 

[King_Waluigi]

Another ability that could work is Flame Body, but I thought that was kinda weird.

No problem! You don't need to worry about the icon for it, because I can make that, and I'll go with the ghost/fairy and magic guard because I too think Flame Body is kinda weird, Magic Guard fits much better.

And I saw that Obstagoon was on the Dex list. What if instead, Linoone got an actual evolution named Raccdoon? It could be a Normal/Ground type.

That sounds awesome! I'd still have Obstagoon in the game since I have a Galarian Zigzagoon trade, but I'd replace its spot in the dex with the fanmade evolution, so if you want to make that, by all means go ahead.

Maybe make a Discord server for the game, discuss mega evos there, etc.

Great idea! I was planning on making one once I released the demo so if people needed help and stuff like that they could go there to get it, but making one now seems like a good choice. It would prevent this thread from being bumped repeatedly and burying other people's games. Link is in OP.

The demo for this game is out! Here's the download link, and I'll also post it in the original post.

Awesome! Looking forward to playing this! How many Gym Leaders does it go to?

It currently has three gyms doable, though I've temporarily pulled the download down since I've had people report any bugs they come across and I want to fix them before anyone else downloads it

Well when it's fixed, I'll be there to play it!

Okay this is really interesting and may just try to do a Nuzlocke though honestly I'm not sure how I feel about that since this will be my very first Nuzlocke I will be doing.

I suppose this wouldn't be too bad of a game to do your first nuzlocke of because it has a built in nuzlocke mode which means you can't chicken out and abandon the rules midway through. The game will kill off your Pokémon whether you're prepared for it or not, so it might help you stick to the rules in other games where it's all self imposed.

 

[Zygoat]

The download is back up, every bug that's been spotted has been fixed, so this release should be playable with very little problems, if any at all.

Okay then well wish me luck and hopefully I'll do well for my first nuzlocke since this will help me keep to the rules. Though I'm curious will the grottos be considered separate places in the areas to be able to capture the pokemon?
