P*kem*n Lard: A fatty centric P*kem*n region (QoL UPDATE!!!!!)

My last crash happened trying to check areas in the pokedex

Not anymore there isnā€™t! Shouldā€™ve read the text more closely, now no one gets to have it!

HOWEVER. it wonā€™t matter much for reasons Iā€™ll discuss in a lower down post.

This is genuinely completely justified, in the next version weā€™re working on fixing crashes, and a completely new and improved leveling curve has been implemented, and this one has actually been tested by multiple people this time! In theory, if you have a well crafted team, you wonā€™t need to do any additional grinding between gyms, but if your team is kind of bad you may need to do a little bit.

As for the crashes mentioned here and the regions area of the pokedex, the cultist events and pokemart have been fixed and now the ultraspace event is actually accessible. Yay! I think the pokedex regions crash has also been fixed, but donā€™t quote me on that, I believe Lupus fixed it but I havenā€™t tested it yet.

You arenā€™t gonna suggest we make our own SMOGON like group, are you?
Because when I play pokemon itā€™s more for the exploring than ultra-hard difficulty

Anyways, as for where it is, since I seemed to have ruined the only way to get a decent amount of cash in game, after you get out of the train, move all the way to the little crop on the upper right hand side

had that happen too with the shower lady. the screen was black and I couldnā€™t move in any direction, though I seemed to be in a 1x1 room with a map on the south wall that could be interacted with. really weird

The desert temple seems bugged (described below)

The first floor seems okay, though like a ā€˜puzzleā€™ that can only be solved by trial and error.
The second floor though is where things get weirdā€¦ The bottom right pile of gold has a weird glitching red background that also appears above the map when I stand at certain positions. They also all just say either correct or wrong when I take some gold. This doesnā€™t look intended

I got a surf ability the natural way, so not sure if itā€™s meant to be used for transportation at all, but some waters can be surfed on and some not. But no matter where I went surfing, there were never any pokemon attacking me.
A mode of transportation would be nice, especially with how the seashore shop is broken

Ngl I might keep it in anyways. Maybe. Weā€™ll see how merciful Iā€™m feeling, Iā€™m kind of surprised it took this long if anything. However, with that said, obtaining money is another thing the next public build seeks to fix. And no, a Smogon-like community is not at all necessary to play through the game, by a well made team I mostly just mean generally choosing pokemon with complementary types and stats, nothing too crazy, and by extra grinding I mean overleveling very slightly, the difficulty in the dev build as is has been drastically reduced, and I tested every gym with underlevelled strong teams, on par decent teams, and a slightly (1-4) overlevelled poor team, and have heard from others that the requirements for beating them are similar.

This glitch has been fixed in the dev build, so itā€™ll be working fully the next public one that is released.

As for the temple, I really have no idea whatā€™s going on with the red squares, I wasnā€™t the one that set up the puzzle. There is actually a way to solve the puzzle involving the gold piles that isnā€™t trial and error, it does work, just pay attention to the outside of the temple (If Iā€™m remembering correctly - I donā€™t have time to go back and check right now).

Surf is not really intended to actually be used in the overworld. I think I disabled it in the dev build, but Iā€™ll check again and fix it if not before posting the next public one. Fly is now unlocked after gym 2, at the bog research center.

if only I had fly .-.

minor sugestion add a way to just warp around the map with ease so backtracking wont be a pain

Finally, fly, itā€™ll make getting back to town to heal or buy stuff a lot easier

Koffing/Weezing can learn fly naturally

Iā€™ve fought the 2nd badge gym leader and does anyone know where Iā€™m supposed to go?

Thereā€™s a cave guarded by some trainer to the south of the city. They say something about keeping you out until more content is added or something, but you can ignore that

How can i find the secret to get the starter i want?

theres a door in the top left corner of the lab where you get the starters. In there is the dream machine wich you can use to get any first stage pokemon with evos that has less than a 500 stat total if i remember correctly

Just putting this here, if youā€™re about to play the game, I might wait a little while, since the next update is nearing completion at this stage and has a complete overhaul of the levelling curve to make it more fair.
