Unfortunately, no. It's mostly a minor update that fixes some errors and balances things. I like to release the story in chucks, so it follows together easier (and so I can update things if I have new ideas).

The next minor update will be released on Thursday! (I will update the post in the morning). The next major update will be released in the next couple of months (no date yet).

Sorry for the late reply, but the reason for starting over with the starters & partners listed above, is because I changed their base stats. I have no idea if changing those stats will update in the old save files. I tested it and strangely enough in some save files it would update and others it wouldn't. So, I figured it would be best to be on the safe side and tell everyone who has those pokemon to start over.

Hello, This is Shammywolf363, and I wanted to update you all on Explorers of Memories. The next version will be released on the 26th! I am very sorry about the year-long wait! I had to deal with finishing my senior year in college, personal life issues, having to restart a couple of times, and constantly changing the story. Also, I finally hit the point in the story where everything will be new territory! Here is what will be in the update! This update will have the following: Chapters 10 up to 12 are complete! Starter rebalancing (The new starters, partners, old starters (Eevee, Chikorita, and Torchic), and their evolutions now have had their stats adjusted to be on par with other starters! Two new story dungeons! Spinda's drink mixing is now much quicker! And much more!

Hello, This is Shammywolf363, and I am sorry to say that the next patch of Explorers of Memories will be releasing at the end of May. As much as I want to release it right now, I am not happy with it right now and do not want to release a patch knowing that I could have done so much better. I figure an extra two months will give me enough time to polish it up as much as I can. I am really sorry for the delay!

Hello, Things have been really hectic the last year, and I wanted to tell you both that EoM will have an update in two months! I updated the main post to list some of the things being added in the next update. Thank you for playing!

Explorers of Memories Official Demo v.2.1.1 Explorers of Memories is a romhack where the protagonist never lost their memories, and this effects the story in many ways causing events to never happen or making events happen earlier than they should. However, this is not a retelling of the original story, instead it is a brand-new story with elements of the original. This should be played after you finish the original sky as it spoils many things. Chapters 1 and up to 12 are currently completed as of this demo. This patch is for US versions of the game and works with Xenophobia and Clean roms. FIXES/NEW CONTENT Many Dungeons have experienced a variety of different changes to them: New items, Tms, Pokemon, Pokemon removed, enemy moveset changes, and some dungeons have been redone! To account for these changes, there are two categories added (Patch 2.1.0 Removed Pokemon and Dungeon Changes). Here are some of the noteworthy changes: Amp Plains/Far Amp Plains have been redone and is now a 27-32 dungeon with new Pokemon to face! The NPC to unlock the dungeon is in the crossroads for those with older save files that beat Nothern Desert (This dungeon unlocks after being assigned to explore Northern Desert). Forest Pathway has been entirely redone with new Pokemon that better fit the Pokemon in Foggy Forest The following dungeons have had Pokemon removed from them as certain Pokemon are not needed or their role is already covered: Apple Woods, Craggy Coast/Side Path, Mt. Horn, Pathless Cavern, and Northern Desert. The following dungeons have had Pokemon added to them: Rock Path, Foggy Forest, and Pathless Cavern Poisonous Swamp and Pathless Cavern now have proper job rankings All Dungeons have had their Pokemon spawn rates adjusted Added a warning after beating Mesprit to mention that saving can make the player unable to return to Treasure Town The last thing to mention is that Dusknoir's portrait has been added to menu over Manectric's Portrait Lush Prairie and Serenity River have been redone with many new Pokemon and items to find! Lush Prairie is a 10 floor (20-25) dungeon with floors 8-10 having a low chance for Sitrus Berries and Joy Seeds to appear with floor 10 also having a very high chance for Friend Bows to appear! Serenity River is a 6 floor (15-17) dungeon with all floors having a high chance for Gold Ribbons to appear! Did some miscellaneous edits to various dungeons Edited Zubat's HP in Skuntank's fight to make him more in line with Koffing and Skuntank Hello, This is Shammywolf363, and I have an update for Explorers of Memories. I'm really sorry to say that I have decided to cancel it, I just don't have the time or the desire to keep working on it. In the beginning I was so excited to create my own tale; however, around the time of the third story update past the guild expedition, something began to change. I found myself disliking how the story was going and began to become frustrated with myself over the lack of progress on the next story update. I found myself working less and less on it to the point where a month would go by with no progress, and that isn't right for people who were waiting on the next update. It even got to the point where I wouldn't log onto Discord because I felt horribly guilty about the lack of progress. I'm really sorry about this, and I will still keep everything up for people who want to play it. QOL CHANGES Beginner Tips are disabled! Experience Share has been added! Once your Team gains experience in Dungeons any backup Pokemon will also gain 80% of the experience as well. You can now choose the starter you want! You and your partner can now be the same type/species! Move shortcuts have been added so you can now use shortcuts like in Gti, Super, and DX. Evolution Glitch has been fixed, so now characters with 10 letters can evolve! Text Speed is faster! Spinda's drink-mixing animation is much faster (you can hold B to skip right through it!) Anti-Softlock has been patched to the game! (Pressing A, B, X, Y will force the game to continue) You can now control your teammates in Dungeons after pressing Start.

If their evolution has a hidden ability, but the pre-evolution does not then the pre-evolution will also get the hidden ability. Hidden Abilities are only given to pokemon if they are released and can be legitimately found on that Pokemon. All Starters and their evolutions have two abilities if they did not have two abilities before.
