[jmt0781]

What new Abilities do the Starter pokemon get in different difficulties? Is there a list that I can access?

Nvm there are a lot of original songs not in original explorers . They are all very good . Sky stairway has one of them . Standalone uploads would be nice 

There's no custom music in Alpha.

The room I figured out. It's similar to Super Mario Bros. levels, where you pick the correct path. But I'm not sure what resources you're referring to? I've tried stat boosting moves, and Iron Thorns and Stun Seeds, which only worked for so long. (Also, my player character is a ghost type, and the Flygon have Feint Attack, which is just an unfortunate coincidence)

Porygon2 upgrades, stun seeds, rocks with Manual mode, room moves, reflect/light screen, stucking them in a corridor, line of sight moves... just to name a few

Hi, I've reached My Horn, there's a very strange map formation where there are inaccessible rooms and items in the walls. I have a mobile scarf but, for some reason, I can't walk through the walls on this floor. Am I missing something?

I see the description of Technician is boosting the power of 2 stars or lower power moves. Is this the correct effect or typo in the description? Because moves with 2 stars in power is nonexistent afaik in the non-hack ROM, and this hack seems like it doesn't change in term of move power either.

@Alphadaemon Hi! Thanks keeping up with the thread. I downloaded the hack for the first time today, and patched it with Delta Patcher for Desmume. I played until after Waterfall Cave, and then in one of the "downtime" days between plot points in which the story doesn't progress and you just do missions, I keep getting a complete uninteractable black screen once I return to base after an expedition. I haven't isolated the variable that's causing this yet, but it happens no matter which area I go, whether I do / don't do missions, and whether I complete the expedition or fail. It seems like it's not possible to escape using conventional means. 

I'm not sure if this is a client side issue or a bug, but I would appreciate if you could help me be able to play the game, as I have been really enjoying it! I attached some save states for your convenience if you would like to investigate (hopefully they work, as it's my first time saving save states in general). Thanks for your time.

There's a couple of them, I don't get why you are saying that

i did find some with 2 stars power.

 

I said that because imo 2 star power moves are too limited imo, would be nice if Technician effect extends to at least 3 stars power moves, just my 2 cents.

That's the point. And it already affects among the best moves in the game (2-tiles away moves, multi-hits). No point to buff it even further.

@Alphadaemon I've been really enjoying playing through EoA, I just made it up to the start of Chapter 22 for Shaymin but the game keeps crashing on a black screen during the intro cutscene when the party tries to go into Spinda's Cafe. I tried looking for the 'skip cutscenes' option in the L-menu and cannot find it, is there a setting I'm missing or is any way to hopefully avoid the crash?

I am trying to stat max my pokemon but sometimes I see that all my stat are resetted to 180 exactly, I am after the manaphy story event,
Are there some kind of limit with gummies, should I do something special or is just a limitation?

Stat limit before beating Darkrai on Expert

Spent the last couple months and 300 hours later I think I have seen just about everything this hack has to offer. I felt obligated to make an account just to say how much I have enjoyed playing through this having never really beaten the post game of the original. The changes you have made are truely transformative and it goes without saying this is the definitive way to play PMD. Thanks for your efforts, eagerly waiting for whatever you have planned for this in the future.

I don't expect a reply really, but what are some of the best starters now with all the changes made with the hack?

I am a fan of DPS and pokemon that get better the more you work on them vs them just being strong to start.

We were thinking about it with the beta testing team and on my end I think what fits the description best is going to be Aipom + Chikorita. Both fit the second criteria, Aipom very much fits the first criteria while Chikorita helps it overcome its weaknesses as a very frail leader against tough enemies

@Alphadaemon Just reaching out again for possibly some help with my game crashing when trying to start the Shaymin chapter. I've got my save file if that helps so the issue, not sure what I can do to fix it on my end
