Released Pokémon Stars [Extended Demo out now!]

Experience the prologue of this journey and explore the islands Kos and Milos in this demo of Pokémon Stars, available on:

Mediafire
Google Drive
Twitter
Discord

Spoiler: Some Tips

-The EXP Share is on by default. You can turn it off in the Bag in the Key Items Tab. However, I'd recommend playing the game with the Exp Share on
-The Encounter Rate is 75% of the normal encounter rate by default. You can change it in the settings ingame if you want more/less encounters
-If you're stuck, make sure to talk to people around town. Some of them have interesting things to offer.

Spoiler: Pokémon Changes

Pokémon that appear have changed stats and movesets. I want to encourage you to use all kinds of Pokémon even if they're not viable normally. Many gained new moves, better stats and movepools, abilities or new typings

Spoiler: Known Bugs

-Side Stairs act very weird. Not sure how to fix it
-Grass might cause lag spikes. Again not sure how to fix it

Spoiler: Credit List (Warning: very long)

And special thanks to you, the player, for playing the game!

Any information on the Strength, Friendship, and Change routes or is that something I should find out for myself?

That is something that you should find out for yourself. The question doesn't lock you in one route, it's just min-maxing for a second playthrough when you want to get a specific ending.

I appear to be unable to exit Cheren's office. The door opens but the player cannot move, effectively freezing the game.

Fixed it! Please download the newest version.

I added a link to the official twitter page. If you want to follow the development of the game make sure to check on Twitter!

I been playing the demo and I love the graphics, maybe for me what I'm worried is the game map will be little bit small like pokemon bushido but i also understand making fansgame is hard, so in the end thank you for this stay healthy keep safe, and once again i love the graphics reminiscing me of platinum, i also hope poketuber make a video about your game because this honestly needs more exposure

 

[RegalSword]

Found a passability issue in the lighthouse.

Thank you very much! This is only a demo so the map is kinda small but you'll be able to visit other islands in the full release coming (hopefully) next year. I also hope that some Poketubers will pick up the game. I keep looking on youtube to see if someone posted a lets play lol. Thanks again!

No problem! I'm sure someone will make a video on your game soon! There's no way they wouldn't cover such a crazy good game!

 

[Izanagi]

Do you have a discord link for the game?

I just opened the Discord server. You can find the link in the thread now!

 

[CelestialFearow]

The discord don't work :(

 

[Izanagi]

Update 1.0.2
-fixed some minor bugs
-replaced some assets
I’d like to apologize to the Pokémon Infinity Dev Team. I accidentally used some tiles from Infinity which were not public to use. I should have been more careful and I apologize for that

I don't know it's right or not for me saying this because im not xenoverse dev but because it's honest accident and you also have good will to say you're making mistake i think you don't have any ill will and yeah it's just honest mistake i think

 

[Drew]

How long is the gameplay?

 

[Izanagi]

How long is the gameplay?

Depends on how you play but I would say around 4 hours

 

[Izanagi]

The discord don't work :(

Fixed it! Sorry I forgot about that

 

[CelestialFearow]

Epic!

 

[safr]

Fixed it! Sorry I forgot about that

It's been my 10 time playing the demo and although this game one of the most graphically heavy to run pokemon fansgame rivaling xenoverse and realidea system in my laptop (my friends can't even play and always got force close) I can assure you from my experience this game also one of the most beautiful fangame demo as beautiful like xenoverse and realidea system. In the end merry Christmas and stay healthy

 

[Enjoyluck]

Got an bug with triplet quest can't progress because this guy does't want to battle :(. Version 1.5

 

[safr]

Happy new year thank you for the amazing game last year and stay healthy

Hi, yeah that weird bug happens occasionally. Just go further down and he should be in the grass and ready to battle (its two seperate events, the first one is just for running away so dont worry about it)

Happy new year thank you for the amazing game last year and stay healthy

Thank you! Happy new year to you as well!

 

[Jaygerine]

So just download the game and try to play and when I get into a grass encounter I get this message.

Script '[Luka's Scripting Utilities] script.rb' line 457: NoMethodError occured.

undefined method `raw_data' for #<Bitmap>

Hope it gets fixed, or is there a way I can fix it. I'm playing on mobile with Joipla.
