I know there are a lot of starter requests so I won't necessarily ask for a specific pokemon to be added but I was wondering if Alolan and Galarian Meowth were thought about as starters for future updates.

Not really no.

Hello, I have a question. Do you have an idea of when the next update will release? I’m putting off the game until the update because I like the updated starter selection better, but if the update is going to take a long time, I will start playing it now.

No clue, sorry...  Q^Q

I would love to see my boi Fuecoco get added as a starter sometime in the future

Yeah, I had 5 jobs

okay yeah that's kinda expected then.  the game won't let you go to another dungeon afterwards while you have any jobs; this behavior can be seen in base Sky with multi-segment dungeons like Steam Cave or Amp Plains.  I do have plans to rework the Zero Hoard idea for the next update, but for now uh...if you wanna access the Hoard, don't take any jobs for that dungeon.

I'm not sure if it's possible, but next update would it be possible to have Salandit as a starter?

it's possible...hell, I could implement it within like 5 minutes.  However, if I did, either it would be available to girls only, or the guys would be stuck with a starter that can't evolve.  So I can't really see myself doing so unless, like, Tyrogue gets starter animations so I can keep the genders balanced.  

However, I *am* making the quiz easier to edit in the next update, so if you're willing to crack open SkyTemple yourself it should be pretty simple to do since Salandit is already available in this hack!

Hello, thanks for the rom hack, it's really cool to play !
I have a question, I just did my first Zero Isle East, I unlocked the room that contains the zero key and have it in my inventory, however, when I finish the dungeon with it, there are no stairs, and when I take the warp, I just get TPed to the town. Maybe I didn't understood how the zero hoards are working ? I cannot find how to access it, if anyone could help.

Thanks !

did you have any jobs in that dungeon?

lowkey.... turns out it was me being a little dense, not realising zorua was on a different page! oops!

but how do shinies work? because ive seen 2 shiny gallades and 1 masquerain- are they forced to join or is it still random? also what are the rates bc i was starting to wonder if its glitched since ive not actually seen the regular form of either yet xD

still random, and the regular versions do not show up in the same dungeon in most cases

hey!! sorry if this has been mentioned time and time again but is there a reason i can't seem to pick hisuian zorua as my starter pokemon despite it being advertised? ^^

this is...a first for me.  o.o  you absolutely *should* be able to?

Another workaround is to just delete the scene entirely, it's just a recap scene and nothing new is revealed.

or install the Fix Memory Softlock or Anti Softlock patches in SkyTemple

I was wondering since you're working on an update for the game, how do we update our current version to the future release without losing our save data?

depending on what you're playing it on, you can either import your save, or just replace the old rom with the new one (and name it the same thing) and your save should carry over

Can Goomy evolve into Hisuian Sliggoo? If so, how do you do it?

Is there also a chart showing how to evolve new Pokémon?
 

The Hisuian Decydueye will be in the next updates?

1. yes, same method as regular Sliggoo.  just choose the second option when evolving.  

2. no.  next update will include documentation on how to evolve everything.  

3. yes.

I have been streaming this romhack, and I must say I've been enjoying it so very much. It is so awesome to see! Though I am kind of curious about the next update, if there will be for the Paldean starters and other things, if not i am fine with what has occurred, and more, it has been really fun and really awesome to do!! 

 

the Paldean starters will be in the next update, yes.

For Mewtwo, it's a quest that's given; he'll be on floor 35, and for Suicune, it's floor 15.

slight correction, Entei, Raikou, Suicune and Mewtwo are capable of appearing on any floor of their respective dungeons that can have jobs.  it'll be different for different players/playthroughs.

When I tried to select my Pokemon (Male Piplup), I become a Monferno instead. This seems to be the only Pokemon that's affected - I tried many other options including Female Piplup and all of them were working as intended.

Known issue.  Fixed in the upcoming version.

Hi everyone,

I’m looking to update my Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Fortune ROM with the latest patch version.

Could someone explain how to correctly apply the patch to a clean Explorers of Sky ROM?

Thank you very much for your help!

use xdeltaUI.  plug in the clean rom, the patch, and designate what you want to call your patched rom (make sure the file name ends in .nds)

I finally got to the stage where I can evolve my starter and my partner, however my starter was Rowlet. When I evolved him, he turned into Bulbasaur, is there any fix to this? Or do I just need to wait for a future update? 

known bug, if you have SkyTemple you can very easily go in and change it so Rowlet properly evolves into Dartrix, if you don't wanna (or can't get it working because Windows Defender loves falsely flagging SkyTemple as a virus) then I'd suggest waiting for the update.  

actively working on development again and making decent progress.  I'm not gonna give any ETAs since I uh, have not been able to meet the ones I've given in the past, but I am relatively confident I'll be able to have the big update ready before I get burnt out again!

I feel that, question, can i just start adding the new pokemon from gen5+ and updating the portraits for them? or have you already finished adding them and are tinkering with other settings? id rather not be spending time doing work on something youve already done

 

Just gonna try to add ferroseed and ferrothorn towards the bottom of the list, in the section of unused pokemon above testelil and see if i can repeat the process with others if it works lol

yeah you can work backwards like that, my current list ends at slot 1957 so everything between that and Testilil *should* be fair game!  

also fyi I haven't been active in this thread much because answering questions and all that kinda stresses me out when I'm not in the right mood, haha

This is the most fun I've had in a while with PMD, thank you for making this one!

 

One question, I have a level 39 Tyrunt and I can't evolve it. What's the evolution method? Do I need to wait till morning, or to level 40? An item maybe? Any help with this would be appreciated  

Sun Ribbon!  this is how all daytime evolutions work in PMD, for the record.  (with Lunar Ribbon being for nighttime evos)
