Mine spawned on 8F and I was surprised it did because normally they were always spawning on the second to last floor like all others on the list. 

I'm not seeing it on the spawn list for that floor o.o

[Noir-Z]

Does anyone know how many floors is Upper Spacial Rift? I'm on the hunt for Eternatus

hmm...I'd personally suggest holding off!  in addition to a sizeable amount of content, I'm hoping to fix a bunch of bugs and make a couple sidequests a lot more intuitive in this update, so it'd probably be worth it to hold off for a better experience XP

I don't think it's said enough how awesome this truly is. Like the amount of stuff you are making and has already been added to the game is insane and I really appreciate this love and dedication to the game, thank you again!

Looking forward greatly to that update, take your time no rush. gonna give it a full playthrough when it comes out

[Noir-Z]

Ok so three things: 

1. Diancie did not spawn and I surely searched all of Crystal Cave
2. Same thing happened to Reshiram on Mt. Avalanche

3. How many floors is Ultra Wilds, just to be prepared

Thanks

yeah, only thing you should miss out on with an existing save is the update's additional starters, and a Shiny mechanic for a handful of starters.  

Wait, were getting even more starters and some of them will be able to be shiny in your next patch? Well that settles it, im waiting to start when the update is out, can't wait!! 

[Layurd]

I heard from someone in staro's server that apparently, the sleeping animation for post game Hero/Partner evolution is broken. Is that fixed?

[Light Ain]

I've already beaten the game once and put around 38 hours into it but didn't do any extra content yet. Now I'm gonna restart once the update drops cause how could I not go for another round with even more stuff to enjoy!

Just saw this yesterday after finding and beating a copy of explorers of sky I had lying around, so my question to you about this new patch is since you recommended to wait I'm not to concerned about QOL stuff or less intrusive side quests which you stated (assuming i dont beat them) that if I start now my save will carry over and I wont miss them and the only things i'd really miss out are the new shines for partner and starter.  

 

so all this to say is rowlet/froakie getting shiny versions for the starter? because if they arent on the shiny list then I'll probably just begin my playthrough now

to add thanks for all the hardwork this kind of thing is awesome especially because we don't get explorers games all the time so any new stuff is very welcome.

they aren't, no.  only Cyndaquil, Mudkip, Riolu, Snivy, and Hisuian Zorua.

Hi, if I put a nickname on my starter will it change once I did my final evolution? or will my greninja still be named froakie?

Thanks for replying still super awesome looking forward to hunting the other shinies then! Thanks for all the hard work. And those are some solid choices for starters! Some of my favourites in there

Hey, got a quick bug report. In the time between defeating Darkrai and when Manaphy returns to tell you about Marine Resort, Archen has no dialogue. He's present in Treasure Town, but attempting to talk to him doesn't do anything.

Just wondering, do you have an issue tracker or other place to submit bug reports? It'd probably be a more organized place than the forum thread.

I believe I've addressed it on my end already, should be working properly in the next update.

I...do not lol

Oh! The Sableye also lacked dialogue at that point.

There was another point when Archen lacked dialogue as well, but I can't remember when it was, aaa ;;"

Also! Would you maybe consider the alternate Ninetales map sprites by baronessfaron, or an optional mini-patch to switch to it? My favorite Pokémon always seemed small in the game.... ;;"

There isn't an alternate edit yet of the Alolan Ninetales, but if one were to be made, it would be a dream come true,,,

I love this hack btw, it's my favorite QOL hack

p sure I got it all, though admittedly it's been a few months since I did so, so my memory's a bit fuzzy lol

sorry but I'd prefer not to, that's kinda slightly against the spirit of the hack in my mind.  same reason I haven't used any of the alternate portraits on the repo despite many of them technically being objectively better than the originals lol

you're free to change them yourself in SkyTemple though, it's super easy, literally takes less than a minute lol

and thanks!  x3

Hiii I don't think anyone else asked, but since you're gonna add gen 9 starters in the next update will you add other gen 9 pokemons ? Specifically thinking about the Tinkaton line it's one of my fave, understandable if you don't tho !!!

Omg wait I'm blind I didn't see it in the list of new pokemons... My bad, I might have skimmed through it, I knew and saw there was gen 9 pokemons but Idk how I never saw Tinkatink in the list. Would it be easy btw to use SkyTemple to put Tinkatink as a new starter/swap it with another ?

Btw you're doing such a great work, I was trying to find a romhack of EoS that I thought would be really good then I found Fortune and it's exactly what I wanted, I didn't play much yet bcs holding back for the next update, but I really love Fortune already !!!
