Defeat the Gym Leaders, challenge the Championship Tournament, and leave your mark on Asteria! This is the start of the greatest vacation yet!

• Speed up​
• Quicksave​
• Exp. All​
• Battle Tower​

Project Status
Disclaimer: the below information is subject to change without notice.
Current release: v7 which goes up to the Hall of Fame.
Planned: v8 which will add post game content.
Note: Version number formatting is x.y.z where "x" represents a new major update while "y" or "z" represent a patch (bug fixes, etc).

Warning
It is recommended that you save the game and stop playing after entering the Hall of Fame. This way, you will be able to access v8 post-game content without issue.
There are, however, three pieces of post-game content that you can play right now. They are as follows:

• Battle Tower​
• Battle Factory​
• Alcan's Epilogue. Visit Forgotten Clearing after entering the Hall of Fame to start the event. Reward: Bloodmoon Ursaluna​

Note: These are perfectly safe to start and will not cause issues with v8.

Spoiler: Game installation instructions

Warning! If updating to v7.x from an older version (v6.x or below), please delete your old save beforehand. Yes, you will have to restart.

For JoiPlay users, I recommend downloading and installing the following versions confirmed to work with Pokemon Itinerant:

• JoiPlay version 1.20.27​
• RPG Maker plugin version 1.20.53​
• Ren'Py plugin version 8.0.3_7.5.3_010​
• Download this file patches.json and put it in the game folder.​

If you run into an error the first thing I will ask you is "Did you install these particular versions?" Apparently these versions get rid of the black screen bug that is so common too, so if you have that issue you should try getting these specific versions recommended above.

Spoiler: Changelog

v7.9.4
- Map 99 (Hearthburg Shipyard): Fixed tile errors. Exit and re-enter the map to apply changes.
v7.9.3
- [001] Battle.rb fixed crash that occurs when calculating boosted Frostbite chance in Hail (I didn't actually fix it I just commented out that conditional branch since there's no hail nor frostbite in this game). Affects PluginScripts.rxdata.
- [001] New Ability Handlers.rb "power_multiplier" replaced with "base_damage_multiplier" (backporting). Affects PluginScripts.rxdata.
- Added missing TM171 (Tera Blast) data to items.txt. The Tera Blast TM is useless though since no Pokemon has Tera Blast defined in TutorMoves. Affects items.dat and items.rxdata.
- Accidentally wrote TM185 twice. Corrected to TM186 (map077 Pokemon Center). This bug fix is for v8 content.
- Fixed Gym Leader Zoa not Terastallizing her Pokemon (Item = TERAORB in trainers.txt). Affects trainers.dat.
- Fixed Barley blinking out of existence in the middle of a cutscene (Frostpoint Library map140 after beating Dendrite).
- Fixed missing bridge segments in Nicole's Gym (map067).
- Removed portraits from the Championship Tournament (map122).
- Fixed Aquatic Tube being incorrectly referred to as "Marine Tube" during the shipyard event (map099).
- Fixed Loop Lake ledge softlock (map090).
- Fixed strange Pokemon Center nurse behavior when interacting from the left side of the counter (map077).
- Fixed surf on bridge issue at Grand Falls map162 (actually caused by the pillars which I have moved because I wasn't sure if changing the terrain tag would work).
- Added missing warp connecting Grand Falls to Shaleston Town. Also map162.
- Fixed Frostpoint Cave map136 puzzle.
- Removed Poke Center healing animation. It was causing issues with the Pokémon Center app. Affects CommonEvents.rxdata.
- Pokemon Center App now costs money. $500 per use. Affects CommonEvents.rxdata.
- Added missing Scovillain, Sunflora, Tivalinks evolution methods (they were wiped when I updated the Gen 9 Pack). pokemon.txt Affects an unknown .dat and/or .rxdata file.
- Attempted to fix walk evolution method error. [000] Pokemon.rb Affects PluginScripts.rxdata.
- Added pause and fade to Pokemon Center healing to match audio cue.
- Added "mart buy" sfx to Pokémon Center app event.
- Psyshield Bash is no longer available as a TM, because TM172 is now Roar.

Here's version 1.7.5!

• King's Rock now behaves like an evolutionary stone for Slowking and Politoed.
• Politoed added to Pokedex.
• King's Rock added to left cashier in Meacrim Department Store.

 

[bjfinest34]

Just played through the story! It was great!!

Two areas of bugs:
In Join Avenue, the move reminder doesn't work. It says not able for every pokemon.
In your first battle against Ward at Silph Co, the battle against Ward can be mixed with the other two instead of the double battle triggering the single battle.

The story (for a short game) was really engaging and seamless. I would recommend this.

Thank you for the feedback! I'm glad you enjoyed my game. I'll be looking into those bugs now.

I should have fixed the Ward issue once and for all now, but I haven't been able to make progress on the move reminder since it works on my end. Did you try to use the move reminder before or after the postgame?

 

[RegalSword]

Patch 1.7.6 is out to address the Silph Co. issue.

 

[ashiapro22]

How many gyms are in this game now and is it completed

 

[RegalSword]

How many gyms are in this game now and is it completed

It is completed. Still 5.

 

[RegalSword]

Just released a quick patch to fix an oversight that may lead to a softlock.

 

[RegalSword]

It's time for version 1.8.0!
I changed how Ward looks. That's about it.

While I'm here, I might as well document some post game info. After beating the game, you'll want to head to the following locations:

• Frostpoint Cave
• Forgotten Clearing
• ???
• Route 1 (visit after ???)

You'll be able to fight some secret bosses and catch rare Pokemon so I'd highly recommend going through the trouble.

 

[RegalSword]

Yeah so uhh I fixed 2 bugs. One was a passability issue and another was the fact that you could farm infinite fresh waters in the Meacrim Gym.

 

[RegalSword]

Version 1.9.0

• 2 new postgame bosses! Find them in Frostpoint City and the Hearthburg Gym, respectively!
• Updated Teleport's description.

 

[RegalSword]

1.9.1

• Passability fixes
• Nerfed a certain bossfight
• Fixed a trainer
• Changed Guitarist Jack's team

 

[RegalSword]

2.0.0

• Axew line is now available
• New boss trainer in Verest City's Wish Cafe
• Mega Ring, Gardevoirite and Galladite are now available
• New theme for Cedar Insititute

 

[RegalSword]

Added Absol.

 

[boomboomshark8]

Your game was very fun to play. Highly enjoyable, and I loved the Heal from menu option. That is a life changer. One thing I was confused about was getting the Mega Ring in the beginning of the game. It's a little confusing since there is no mention of anyone else using a mega stone, I could't find a single mega stone in the over world, or talking to any NPS. Other than that, it was very great to play. No grinding needed, short story and to the point

Thank you for the feedback! The mega ring was a late addition and still needs some streamlining. I'll probably change the place it is obtained to one with more context.

 

[RegalSword]

This game now has an animation for receiving a badge, thanks to Roei's plugin!

IMPORTANT: Any player who has not beaten all 5 gyms yet MUST talk to the Debug Man in the nearest Pokemon Center. You DO NOT want your game to crash after beating a gym!

I hope poketuber make video about this because I think this is underrated.
The world little bit small but still enjoyable, i love how you made use fire red esque graphics style yet still have the own unique feel of flavor, maybe biggest favorite features is honestly pretty simple it's the elite four replaced by tournament style it's just one room one man without spectators is not really make sense sometimes for me for game like pokemon who have format of championship, so in the end thank you for this, i know the game will not have new added area or region because it is complete so please stay healthy and safe and hopefully see you in the future

I'm glad you enjoyed it! I actually have more plans for this game so I hope you'll be back when the new content drops!

 

[RegalSword]

This game now uses the Encounter List UI plugin!

 

[RegalSword]

Version 2.3.0!

• Portraits!
• Cedar has a new overworld sprite.
• Minor changes to some cutscenes.
• Added ability to skip intro cutscene.
• Other minor graphical changes (new VS logo, anyone?)

This video sums up the new content pretty well:
