so i ran one teeny tiny but major problem: Despite unlocking Marine Resort, Wigglytuff will not go into his dialogue for the legendary rewards. he just repeats the whole you saved the world twice stuff. i just finished recruiting Palkia too so i'm at a lost of what to do here

Because you need to start Scizor's quest

Does Scizor's quest have anything to do with recruiting the Primal Legendaries? Aka Primal Dialga, Primal Palkia, and Antagonist Darkrai? I do know where to get their exclusive items, and recruit their shiny forms in Destiny Tower, but I haven't seen or heard anything of getting the non shiny forms of them.

Non shiny are also in Destiny Tower for now

So. This is a dumb question but it's bugging me

I've noticed the word password thrown around and even a password menu at Porygon

But how do you get a password? I've tried to search it but google is dumb and thinks I'm looking up information for Sky =_=

What are the requirements to unlock chapter 29 and the mysterious geoglyph? Was having a fantastic time playing this game with my brother and I noticed that I managed to get to chapter 29 while my brother can't seem to have it despite clearing darkrai and special episode 5  

 

Hoping to have an assist as can't seem to find amy info abt it online

There are hints for them, usually passwords are something meant to be hidden until I give them but still the hints are ingame all over the place

Really enjoying the game, thank you for all the great features!  Just reporting a couple bugs I noticed recently.

After beating Crevice cave, speaking to Abra didn't show the information about it but instead the generic blurb about side stories, i.e, "I thought about filling the book with addendums where I describe other places you could have went to. Want to check them out?". I haven't noticed this bug with any other "stories" and after beating Aegis Cave it now displays the actual information.

Talking to Abra and reading the information about Aegis Cave says that the item is "Unown Stones", though if I understand correctly these have all been removed, so I think it should state something else.

The chapter 26 flashback of Drowzee's arrest showed my partner and I in their evolved forms, even though they were unevolved at the time the event happened.

In the cutscene in the guild at the beginning of Ch. 26 some of the guild members who are speaking are invisible. Only Chatot, Wigglytuff, Magnemite, the player and partner, and Azurill and Marill are present. The remaining characters only appear after the flashback to Drowzee's arrest ends.

Ahh gotcha. Note to self pay better attention to the dialogue and don't get distracted by cute Mew emojis. Thanks

They evolve your main character

[Hyde_20]

Not sure if this has been reported yet but there are dungeons like dark crater that only goes until 15F but I'm getting jobs where it asks me to go beyond that e.g. 24F. Is there a fix for this? Noticed it in other dungeons as well

[Chelonia]

Back again with a roundup of smaller bugs:

1 - At Spinda's Cafe, I can select a Water-Guard (Squirtle-Exclusive item) as something to make a drink out of. Of course, since no drink outcomes are programmed for non-food items, the game hangs up after confirming my selection

2 - If Hidden Stairs are entered while in Manual Mode, the game takes me to the next floor of the dungeon, instead of a Secret Room/Bazaar of Wonders

3 - Pokemon in Special Episodes can gain EXP from the Main Story's EXP Share feature (not sure if it's intended)

[FatherOfHungry]

Really been enjoying the ROM! Thank you for all the work.

I know others have said it, but I'm hoping for a better way to get the Ascend stones. I'm post-Darkrai but I think I'm completely unable to evolve. I started the Aloan-Marrowak quest at the beach early on but, not knowing what it was and being underleveled, I left and can't figure out how to go back. I'm kinda bummed because my starters are almost 100 and I was really looking forward to evolving them after Darkrai.

Is there any easy way/password we can type in to get the Ascend Stones?

1 is a known bug and fixed in my version, 3 doesn't happen at all, both the code and my own testing contradict that

2 is a weird case, not sure if I can do anything about it

Not a bug since higher difficulties have more floors, 3.1 won't allow missions in difficulty locked floors anyway so consider it fixed

Check the Beach, otherwise wait for 3.1 unfortunately for a fix

Are you sure about point 3? I had started SE5 as soon as it was unlocked, got to Dark Wasteland, then went back to the main story until the start of the Darkrai chapter. When I got back to SE5, Grovyle and Dusknoir gained around 20 levels upon entering the dungeon, and are now Lv. 84/Lv. 83, respectively

I am positive, I tested on my end, I checked the code on my end, this is completely contradicted by everything

[Mizutsune]

idk why i keep running into bugs but i ran into a very bad one... Fallen Star Remains. every 5 floors it seems to crash the game when i try to get near the area where the warp is.... normally when this happens i found that quicksaving, quitting, and reloading the save works. HOWEVER this isnt the case for floor 10. for some god forsaken reason no matter how much i quicksave and reload the moment i move down not even NEAR the warp the game freezes. so yeaaaaa idk what to do here. heres a link to what i mean is happening https://gyazo.com/be6b9cf0fda90f5ab8182ad37ed4b54f

I've actually noticed the same thing as Chelonia. I started "Bidoof's Wish" a while back, not sure when exactly but it was around the time I entered the Hidden Land, didn't finish it and when I continued a couple days ago Bidoof's level increased all the way to 52 when I entered Star Cave. I've attached a video showing this happening again just now after playing some more of the main story, and now his level increases all the way to 58. I'm still on Chapter 26 in the main story.

thats what it was! i turned randomizer off and it loaded just fine! IDK why the rando did that but ya saved me

[CobaltGray]

This is a great mod, thank you very much for making it!

I have a bug to report - Unburden will randomly stop working (the Pokemon will lose the sped-up attack status and not regain it). Present in both main story (Sneasler) and SE5.

This is unchanged from Vanilla so this isn't possible, you might be holding an item or be affected by Gastro Acid or be on a floor with Neutralizing Gas active from Weezing
