Hello all! I'm the Lead Developer of Pokémon Rosen, known online as Valiant. I hope you enjoy this full dive into the simulated world of Alyssia!



#===================#
Pokémon Rosen Version
#===================#
Welcome to Alyssia ZERO Server...
The year is 2122, and the technology giant Cyber has recently released it's new product: an immersive deep dive system into a world long forgotten by modern culture: the World of Pokémon! At the behest of the Cyber CEO's child the long forgotten franchise was reawoken from the history books and recreated in virtual reality. Not content with simply repeating the past, the team behind this monumental effort created a whole new region, Alyssia! Within it, our dedicated team have created an immersive and dynamic story for you to explore, and introduced a new variant of Pokemon to the A.I-driven populace, the Rosen-formes. Lately, it seems that there have been errors with our program, and NPC's are not behaving as we have come to expect.

#===================#
The Story so far...
#===================#

You are the child of the CEO of Cyber, the worlds largest technology conglomerate. At your behest, Pokémon, a long dead franchise, has been revived in the form of an immersive reality simulation that utilises a player's dreams to create realistic experiences and sensations. On the launch day of this project, you are the first to test the system but something unforeseen goes wrong - the systems designed to protect you do not, and the failsafes are disabled, sending you spiralling into a test server known as Alyssia ZERO with no memories or recollections on where you came from.

Your journey begins at the behest of Professor Oak who believes they have used strange technology to bring you through to this world, when he tells you that Rosen Forme Pokémon come from the same world that you do, and that his colleague, an expert on them, has gone missing. He wishes to see your effect on the world around you, as these Pokémon have been wreaking devastating changes on various ecosystems around the region.

On your quest, you will encounter the mysterious Team Null who claim to know the reality around them is not quite what it seems, and wish to reduce that world to nothing, to Null... you will not fight them alone however, as oddly familiar figures from a life you no longer remember begin to appear to guide you through an ever changing world within which, you do not truly belong.

Shadow Pokémon however have resurfaced alongside this evil. Will you and your allies be able to overcome this growing darkness?

#===================#
Release Date
#===================#
After years of work behind the scenes, and after months with the dream team, Pokemon Rosen is almost ready for the release of Episode #1 of its epic adventure. In March, the second ever annual Eevee Expo will launch, and with it our trailer will debut! On the very same day, the game will be released to the public.

As an extra note, please do join the Discord if you have any questions or issues! I only really pop on here to post updates as of late and I don't want anyone to think I'm ignoring them :]

 

[godfather]

So the game stucks when we try to get back to advent glade, after the battle with hyden it seems like the player wants to move aside to let hyden pass but it's getting stuck and then nothing happens, seems like it's a bug.

 

[Zardae]

Yes it is, if you join the discord someone surely can send you a fixed map data!

 

[nachiket03104]

As soon as I defeated leyya i got an error - Script 'SaveData' line 28: EOFError occured end of file reached. I also cannot find where my save file is can anyone tell me where the save location is as well?

 

[ValiantSoul]

Come and see what we've been up to with development lately on our Discord! We've just released our second Developer Log tracking progress for the eventual release of Episode 2!

Rosen Developer Log

Alternatively, we now have socials active so you can follow our progress in whichever way is easiest for you all.

Twitter, Instagram, Reddit

Also, a reminder that if you do encounter any bugs, report them on the Discord (not the Relic Castle) so we can fix them for Episode 2. I won't be rolling out any more updates for Episode 1 as I'm hard at work setting the stage for future installments, but anything you notice may be very important for that eventuality.

 

[ValiantSoul]

We have just started our latest Community Event! This time our theme? Design a Rotom that fits in with Alyssian life!

If you want your ideas represented in Pokémon Rosen, Community Events (and Discord participation) are definitely the best way of doing so.
The winning idea gets you featured in the game as an NPC, your Rotom being added, and 1 month of Discord Nitro!

We look forwards to seeing your participation in our fourth ever Community Event :]

 

[Pi25]

It's a great game so far. I like it a lot. :)

 

[ValiantSoul]

Here it is everyone, our latest reveal for Episode 2! It's not the only one either. Please do head on over to our Discord server (linked above) and join in with our pre-release hype :]

 

[ValiantSoul]

Next up for our Episode 2 reveals... Tinkatink, the Techie Pokémon! It's only one of many that have been produced lately.

In other news, we're beginning our next Community Event on the 14th September; do you have any ideas you want to see in the game? Then come show off your creativity, and earn your spot in our credits!

Hello, I experience Laq only when outdoors or cave, when I press F2 to bring up the FPS it becomes low 35-18.

But when indoors, the battle FPS returns to normal, I have tried using the task manager (I found a tutorial on the internet by deselecting the core and selecting only 1 core) but to no avail. Please help.

I use Windows 10

Hey there, Lead Developer here. I'm sorry you're experiencing lag in certain areas; there isn't really a fix I can suggest though, I'm afraid. I don't have a high performing PC, but I can still run the game without any noticeable frame drops, so I'm not sure what advice to suggest.

When I had a PC with lower specs back in the day, I used CheatEngine as a workaround. It has a function that multiplies the speed on games (like speed-up on Emulators). It's not in-built, but it'll alleviate your issues for sure!

 

[ValiantSoul]

Happy Spoopy Season everyone!

Our next astounding Episode 2 reveal?

In places where near water where children often play, old folk warn them about the Pokémon that will drag them down to a grave in the depths. As the laughter of the child by the waterside abruptly ends, the elders shake there heads and shamble on to warn the next group of youths of the same...

Hmm, I've done what you suggested, but the more I increase the speed using the cheat engine the FPS gets and even reaches 15-19, but this is only outdoors and caves when I enter the house/gym/pokemon center or battle FPS returns to normal 58-60. :(

I have even changed to a low spec device which still uses Windows 7 but to no avail. :(

Here I use "Easy Mode". Maybe this is a bug in Easy Mode, maybe I'll wait for the next release to play Pokemon Rosen. :(

Sorry to say it my friend, but there isn't a bug. If there was it would be more widespread reported. We've never had lag reports from playtesting. Sadly it's not something I can fix on my end!

A lower-spec device certainly won't help either. I wish I could offer better advice :[
