Released Pokémon Silver Chronicles (Beta 3.3 available)

Liking the game so far but issue I have is that the gym leader difficulty is kinda bonkers. Falkner having 6 pokemon with his ace being lvl 16 AND items are restricted is pretty unfair especially with Johto's really poor wild pokemon levels. I beat him on my first attempt but it wasn't fun and felt like artificial difficulty just to make him unreasonably harder. Gyms should slowly ramp in difficulty not start right off the bat rough.

Thanks for the feedback! My idea is to force people to have 6 Pokémon and use different team combinations since the beginning. There are electric Pokémon in the routes around Violet, and you can trade for a Ônix, catch a Geodude, and get a second initial in the Violet School side mission. I’ll adjust some wild Pokémon levels and appearing rate to make this part a bit easier and require less grind. Please let me know if you think the same of the other gyms, or just on the first one?

Yeah having access to electric types helped that's the only reason I actually managed to take his ace out despite the 4 level difference. What wasn't fun though was the fact that due to the level difference his Noctowl swept 4 of my pokemon and I had to rely on sand attack and paralysis. Having a team of 6 wouldn't have been an issue because the diversity you added in the wild pokemon encounters is good it's just the huge difference in levels with his ace compared to his other team members. He felt like such an insane difficulty spike compared to Elder Li, maybe if sprout tower gave out more exp or the wild pokemon levels were modified to account for Falkner having a lvl 16 ace it'd be more tolerable.

And I'll let you know what I think of Bugsy. Should get to him tonight or tomorrow.

Also I will say that I do really like the graphics, I am tired of Gen 3 graphic style games so it's nice to see more Gen 4 and 5 style games, plus the variety is really good. I appreciate being able to get Natu (one of my favorite pokemon) early. So despite the difficulty I am enjoying your game.

I just got to Azalea town, cleared Slowpoke Well, fought the rival, and fought some of the gym trainers. The issue is 100% the exp yields from wild pokemon. The wild pokemon are just too weak to grind off of and there aren't many trainers to grind off of in order to build up a team to realistically challenge the gym leaders.

Thank you very much for the feedback! I'll be updating the wild Pokémon levels, especially at the beginning of the game, for the next update!

I also beat Bugsy and Whitney. The jump with their levels isn't as big as Falkner's so they weren't too bad. If you do tweak the wild pokemon levels I think the overall difficulty would be fine.

Oh I found a bug. So I am playing as Kris and when I use surf the character model turns into Ethan while surfing.

The Strength License doesn't seem to be working. My kingler should be able to move rocks since I even went as far as to teach it strength but it won't let me use it.

Can you give more details? Kingler can't learn Strength. But just having any Pokémon that can learn strength should be enough for you to move boulders around - you don't need to teach it. If that's the case, please share the Save file once again so I can check it.

It let me teach Kingler the strength TM, so that's most likely the issue. I'll boot up the game and try a different pokemon.

Okay on further testing milktank using strength works. THe issue is that Kingler randomly learns the strength TM but can't use it in the overworld.

I've been having a good time playing this game and have just beaten the Elite Four and Lance, and I am now re-fighting the gym leaders. the only issue I have with this is I can't store my money like you could in the Original, and that there are also no good places to level up at, especially since I can't get a lucky egg or don't know where to find it. If you could somehow add those, it'd make the game even better. and this game was not easy to beat to but I enjoyed the Challenge.
