Any chance of updates? Maybe bosses from time to time, more mapz or any way of saving progress? i have a really good time playing this its my favorite custom game

Any chance you can bugfix the game a tad bit, currently unplayable because the shop doesn't render any text so you can't buy more pokeballs

Just tested really quick and it seems fine for me, I assume there is a specific condition under which that can happen, but without more information I can't say what causes it, sorry. :(

If I ever find the cause of the bug I'll make sure it's fixed.

Is it possible to make the progress you make salvable?

Cause a few of my mates were playing and one disconnected losing all their legends. RIP

I have thought about it, it might be possible with a very long save code but esp. now that you can have > 6 Pokemon it might be extremely long. I'll have to think some more about it. Sorry about your friend's progress. :P

This mode is amazing. Managed to find it today, right after the new patch (great timing). It is so much fun, and really addictive. Me and my friend were playing for over 2 hours. I would love to see more!

Honestly, as a package itself, it is super fun. But there's a few things I could suggest. I don't know how difficult these would be to implement, but if they were added, it would add 100x more replay value:

  1. Unlocking Abilities for owner heroes.
    This could be manually inputted or automatic by the AI. But spending the heap of coins you have late game on more would be awesome. Ultimates would probably break it a little, but abilities would be fun for heroes that are applicable.

  2. Battle your friends.
    This would be difficult as teammates are on the same team, but maybe if one of them was replicated and team swapped in a mini arena or something. Being able to grind for a really good 6 stack and then battling friends would be awesome. (Maybe limit party to 6, and choose party before entering arena)

  3. New Maps.
    Most likely the easiest to implement and would add replay value in itself, just being able to play in new areas. Maybe make certain heroes only available to certain areas (Much like regions). Or add a cool new gimmick for each one. Or even if it was the same, new environments would always be fun.

  4. RAID BOSSES
    This would probably be my top pick to add. As you could put the bot on the enemy team, it wouldn't be too hard I assume for all your team members to come together to battle and earn a guaranteed legendary. Maybe do a vote to start raid, and have it take place where the objective would be. Besides PvP, this would be the best route for having more interactions with your friends that are playing.

Thanks for the fun times, and I hope you continue to update :D

Thanks for the feedback!

I would like the mode to have better AI overall (both for the general wandering movement of the wild Pokemon as well as in combat with more abilities etc), but it's a bit complicated to do since the Workshop doesn't have any built-in AI for these bots. I'd like to look more into it though - I might look more into if I can adapt anything that anyone else has made, since developing the AI from scratch would be a whole project in itself

PVP is a WIP. I have a little bit of code for it implemented but it's a big feature. No ETA because I tend to work on this stuff very on and off (if this recent update is anything to go by, I might just take a 7 month break before I actually do any more work on that, lol).

Other maps aren't a bad idea. I would be a bit hesitant to have any map-exclusive stuff just because I feel like it would make each individual map worse, but I'm not 100% sure on that. Maps will be a bit tedious to add but I might add some more at some point.

I do wanna add some kind of boss fight system. Maybe not in exactly the way you describe, I was thinking of just having them randomly spawn rarely instead of a regular Pokemon, except they're way stronger and can't be caught (at least not the regular way). Presumably one player would have a decent chance of beating one just by using multiple Pokemon over time, but everyone who participates would get a reward so they'd all be encouraged to join.

Thanks again for the feedback, and thanks for the kind words. :) I also saw your YouTube comment on the video for my other mode!

You should make people have a pokemon battle !

StraySquid#1708 almost 5 years ago

Heya, there's this bug going on (specifically on switch) where everyone falls off the map? the game starts off fine but about 10 minutes in, everything spawned in falls off the map, leaving no pokemon on land to catch? any help would be appreciated

Camcamthecamcam about 5 years ago

Eager for an update

Caaethil creator almost 5 years ago *

Only just saw this - perhaps someday. No plans right now. :P

alhajrey007 about 5 years ago

Not sure if this is fixed already or not but the pokemon keep falling of the map, a way to fix this is make a it so if the velocity of the dummy bot is number like 2 for example then teleport that dummy bot to the nearest walkable position

Caaethil creator about 5 years ago

Nice idea actually, will do that in the next update (whenever that is).

I love this game so much!

Report some bugs:
1.Sometimes monsters will be outside the map when they respawn.
2.Sometimes the player can summon two pets.
3.Sometimes pets can be sold repeatedly in the shop.
4.The effect stays on the map after the pet is in my bag

I don’t know why it happened. Can you try to fix it?

Caaethil creator about 5 years ago *

Think I've heard of #3, not sure what causes it. The others I've not seen. If I see them and can think of what might cause them I can try to fix them. I'm assuming you've not changed the map or anything like that.

Thanks for the nice comment!

Camcamthecamcam about 5 years ago

I love this me and my friend play it, u should add trading, where u can trade with ur friends, but is still very fun and awesome!!!!!!!!

Caaethil creator about 5 years ago *

Cool idea. Maybe in the future. :) Thanks for the nice comment!

Vic about 5 years ago

This is so fun if only you could battle your friends though.

Caaethil creator about 5 years ago

Planned for the future. :)

Is there a save function? I really enjoyed the game one of my favorites!

Caaethil creator about 5 years ago

Currently not sadly. Would like to look into it but I'm not sure atm if there's a good way to compress all of the data into a short enough code.

Scruzzy about 5 years ago

Alright thank you though!

Rain about 5 years ago

If someone leaves there bots will stay in the game forever

Caaethil creator about 5 years ago

Ignore that last reply, should be fixed now. :)

Caaethil creator about 5 years ago

I have an experimental fix for this, I'm gonna go to sleep now but I'll test it tomorrow before updating the code.

alhajrey007 about 5 years ago *

Finally someone actually did a pokemon gamemode, like an actual one where you catch then and fight with, i would have made one ages ago, but i got too much stuff to do, im also very lazy, i cant really try the gamemode yet, because its ptr only, but i have high expectations

Caaethil creator about 5 years ago

See the new code, works on live now with the new update!

alhajrey007 about 5 years ago

What a nice gamemode tbh, it aint the most complicated or advanced, but thats what makes it fun, i could see someone play this hours, but to me i had a littie more higher expectations, dont take this as an insult please, but besides that i see it as an amazing gamemode, just not my style though

Caaethil creator about 5 years ago

Thanks for the feedback. :)

alhajrey007 about 5 years ago

Alright time to try this

Caaethil creator about 5 years ago

Thanks! I'm looking forward to people being able to play it on live. :)
