P*kem*n Lard: A fatty centric P*kem*n region (EXTENDED DEX ENTRY CONTEST LIVE!)

Have had several people with the same issue, seems to be fixed by doing some of these sort of steps

Ok thank you for the help

For me, I tried to make a new game, and there is a black screen with NO error message. What’s causing this? Is it the same thing?

Has this problem been solved for you yet? Because I’m having the same issue myself

I can’t tell you. I just reset my run and started over.

It should’ve been fixed in the latest public build

Yeah it’s fixed, thanks for that

Hello. I noticed that there were some missing entries in the Pokédex, despite having already owned the Pokémon, namely Nettdevoir. At the very least, I am very curious about this Pokémon in particular. I can understand why it becomes a Water type, as it has been cleansed, but the explanation for the Ice type eludes me. Perhaps it’s body temperature has cooled down significantly from the expulsion of the poisonous material inside?

Nettdevoir was a late entry into the update and has not had it’s full dex info done yet. Heights and weight for example are still probably(?) placeholder (I have not checked this and all pokemon need their heights and weights need updates for funny reasons uwu). The next update is also gonna have a new plugin added that adds a whole new page to the pokedex that will feature a longform dex entry because some pokemon are kinda limited in what we could say about them in the ~200 character limit.

Thank you for the swift response! I think those would be great improvements to the game, and would love to see detailed explanations where available! I appreciate the effort going into this project!

Finally made an account on this site after being a lurker for a while, but this game (and Some Bullshit) are what made me finally get around to doing so.

I really REALLY like this, and hats off to you for making something like this happen. I can tell an extraordinary amount of effort went into the sprites and environments here, and the choices for the music are spot-on (especially the Pikmin stuff)!

I’m not sure if it was an intentional design choice or not, and it’s a difficult feeling to describe, but the atmosphere in the game is almost stifling, similar in a way to Black City in BW2. Some of the design choices of the regional mons amplify this feeling that not everyone is happy in this region, (the Porygon line, Alcremie, and Audino being the prime examples here). I actually really appreciate this aspect as opposed to most fetish games where everything is happy and whatnot.

Some of the criticisms I have are that there isn’t any in-game tutorial introducing the player to the new Food and Fungus types, something which X/Y do with the Fairy type. Even something as simple as a little book given by the boat person at the start of the game would be helpful, as I STILL don’t know the type advantages/disadvantages. Also, it feels like there’s a LOT of Poison types here. It might be a personal bias thing because Poison’s my least favorite type, but more type varieties would be appreciated here I think.

That’s all though, I really really like this game and I hope you continue to work on it!

how does one find the trubish in your game I want the region variant of gabador

For now, it doesn’t exist in a catchable state… merely being a single appearance as an early trainermon. It does, however, have a low enough BST that if you start a fresh file you can forego the usual starters to begin with Trubbish via the Dream Machine.

what gender is the protag, it appears to be female atm.

in the future updates would we get a gender select screen like in future Gen games so people could play either male or female mc of their choice?

If I’m not mistaken the character is supposed to be ambigous so you can decide their own gender yourself

A while ago, polls decided that the main character should be a defined, specific character of ambiguous gender, so they are non binary.

The poll was done here right? The only poll involving protag gender here (unless I’m blind) has the winning option being the main character being female, so was the poll done somewhere else as well?

Probably on their discord.

I don’t know how difficult it is to make two different protag options in the pokemon RPG maker thing they’re using.

in reality, not that hard. Since it uses rpg-maker, you just need to replace sprites if you just want to swap the player look. However, if you want it to be something of a choice, it’s as simple as the same code that is used as any game begginer question by asking the player a choice then giving them the sprite that is under a specific id or name in return
