Completed Pokémon Alexandrite 1.1.7

AiurJordan · Aug 10, 2022

1.0.5 Released, some important new features and bug fixes, please update following the usual precautions (inside a pokemon center).

New Feature Onix Express, fast travel between all the cities instantly!
New Feature Stat changes in battle, removed the old function because it was not commonly used, added a Pokemon Showdown style system from Phantombass, it has an options toggle on/off for those who don't want it.
Adjusted the PKMN Trainer's Club computer to only reset one EV of the players choice at a time instead of all of them
Reduced the cost of Roulette at the Anthrophil game corner
Fixed a bug where player could walk on water in Ochre Valley
Fixed a bug where Megastones could be removed via Trick, Thief, and Fling.
Fixed a typo in a trade quest for Bagon
Significantly reduced the price of EXP candy once again. (Designer Note: I want the candies to cost something as a choice, but it will enable players to pretty much skip grinding if they wish to invest a bit of money,
Alternatively, if the player wishes, they can enable nuzlocke mode in the beginning of the game and buy 999 rare candies, and then turn it off again. Having EXP candies cost something allows a
sense of accomplishment when rasing pokemon as an alternative due to the costs invested.)
Reworked the Shrine of Hope to have 3 prayers for those wanting an easier experience.
1. Money, the shrine awards 100 nuggets. (Removes the financial aspect of the game)
2. No Grinding, the shrine awards 999 rare candies. (Removes the need to grind)
3. Evolution Stones, the shrine awards 1 of each evolution stone. (Removes the need to play the mining game, also makes evolving happen a little sooner for some pokemon)
Added more tip NPCS to the first few areas to help new players.
Added Paras to the encounters in Seafoam Cave 1F, removed Diglett from Seafoam Cave 1F
Moved the Rival Fight in Neon City to occur before the Neon City gym.

Loving this game! Never thought I'd play another game that I'd want to replay another 5 times like Insurgence, but so far this is blowing that out of the water! Keep it up!

Really appreciate the kind words. Thank you.

Is missingno catchable? I used like 25 great balls(in the red), 12 ultra balls, and a timer ball(while in red and asleep), and the closest I got was 3 shakes. Is it just stupidly hard to catch? Edit: It is, it was just stupidly hard and took another 20-30 ultra balls.

Munit · Mar 31, 2023

Hi is there a battle tower in this game or anything similar?

Beautiful overlooked gem

Tulip Tu · Aug 3, 2023

I just want to thank you to everyone who worked on Alexandrite. This game gives the option of play difficulty which I can say many fan games don't do. Thanks for not limiting us and giving us the freedom to customize the game in many ways. I appreciate it a lot and think the game is top notch and I can tell a whole lotta love was put into it.
