Does anyone know the type matchups for sound?

jckv · Sep 21, 2023

Just started this game and it looks amazing. Is there any way to change natures later in the game (apart from the initial customization when you catch the pokemon)?
Thanks!

"Where there's light, darkness follows. Where there's darkness, light follows."
By Ayrei

Life of a Pokemon Trainer, leave home at a young age, collect Gym Badges and Pokemon, and take on the Pokemon league. It was what everyone aspired to be at a young age, and with such ease, anyone could do it.
That was over 50 years ago...
Enter Ayrei, the first region to enter the Modern era.
In this time, Pokemon Trainers are tasked with protecting the lives of both innocent people and Pokemon across the world. One cannot become or act as a Pokemon trainer without the proper training licensing. Against them, are the Renegades, those who claim the title of a Pokemon Trainer, yet oppose these modern laws and ideas.
You are awoken within this region, no memories, no Pokemon, only a name. With nowhere else to go, you are invited to Vanguard Academy, a school with only one purpose, to train the next generation of Pokemon Trainers.

Feedback would be appreciated

I'd love to do a shiny playthrough. But I am curious about the starters. At what point can I see when its shiny? Before I pick them when I check the shelf, or after I pick the one I want?

dragdragy · Oct 3, 2023

This one works thank you!

Had the same thing, i installed the patch again in the file of the game, after that the game continued.

Pangin · Oct 15, 2023

When does the current patch end? Cause I'm at the vulcano and my game freezes every time i enter dialouge with Aven

mayo8898 · Oct 17, 2023

Hello I’m having a blast playing this game! But unfortunately I’ve run into a pretty big problem. In chapter 18 when we meet A and we get out of mt runaan, instead of opting to automatically return to koriko town, I decided to stay at the shed and make my way back by foot. On the way my party fainted so instead of being sent to a Pokémon center, I got sent to the bottom of mt runnan again. And when I made it to the end of the tunnel and into the renegade hideout, it automatically warped me into cionsta park but the screen is all black and I cannot see where I’m going. I also saved the game like an idiot here so I keep respawning in this area. I even got my whole team of lvl 42 Pokémon defeated by a lvl 17 pancham to see if it’ll reset me at a Pokémon center but instead it takes me to the bottom of mt runnan again but this time with a black screen where I can’t see where I’m going.

i got softlocked when i lost the fight to Vivi Ayrei can you please fix that bug?

mikethemaster2012 · Nov 17, 2023

How d lo you create a debug mode in this game

MerusDeath · Nov 23, 2023

Just started playing for the first time. Everything so far is very nice. Only issue i've been having is that every time I or an NPC steps in grass the whole game lags. And since there are some side quests that involve catching loss pokemon, (like the skitty in Souten) it become a bit of headache as they will run into the grass.
I havnt really seen anyone else having this issue though so I'm not sure if there is a fix for it already or not

I have this too, i thought it was because i am running it on a laptop. It becomes harder and harder to play the longer you play, right?

matt · Dec 10, 2023

Hello how can i change the scale of certains pokemon's back sprite ? They are very small.
Thx

Liankr07 · Dec 13, 2023
