Sorry for the late reply. This is one of the things where I have to sit down and investigate, and I have limited time through the week. (And I'm sad to say, I probably would have forgotten about your post if it wasn't for your PM. I'll try to do better.)

I am trying my hand at making a script/text mod for PSMD. For now, I've just been testing and getting accustomed to the editor. While editing messages and scripts is fairly straightforward, I haven't been successful at adding new messages. Any messages added with the "Add" button simply don't work, and they disappear from the message list if I save and reopen the file. As you can imagine, not being able to use more messages than there are in the original script, is quite limiting. Am I doing something wrong, or is adding messages just not functional yet?

I am using version 4.1.0.50 if that makes a difference.

Fixed in version 4.1.0.51. However, when building the mod, you'll need to use version 4.1.0.37 (or was it 4.1.0.36? It's been a while). Later versions have a problem when building ROMs that I haven't had time to fix yet, as it requires fixing nearly all of the dependencies. Believe it or not, one of the many things that needs to be updated is the save editor. I've been waiting for the save editor to be perfect before releasing it, but in all honesty, it's probably good enough for what the ROM editor needs it for. I have no ETA for when I can move forward and fix it, but I do plan to.

I've ran into another problem using the ROM Editor. Any of my changes to the script for the last part of chapter 1 (shinryokuclear1st.lua) are not present in-game. Other script edits prior to this point in the story have worked fine, but this script always remains vanilla for some reason. Even building with a totally empty script still has the cutscene proceed normally, besides the message edits.

Edit: I encountered the same issue when editing the second part of chapter 2 (nanikanokehai.lua). No script changes apply on build.

I've had a similar problem when there's a syntax error with my edits. There's currently no real error checking when compiling scripts, so try compiling the script manually to see if Lua gives any errors. The Lua compiler can be found at SkyEditor.ROMEditor.Windows/lua/luac5.1.exe in the zip file. Try using command prompt to launch luac.exe -o <output> <script>, where <script> is the script you're editing, and <output> is some temporary path to save the script. Don't forget to put paths in quotation marks if they contain spaces.

It's that time of year. Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon datamining has begun. To start, @SciresM has extracted the following resources:

• Game Text
• Story Text
• Egg moves
• Encounter tables
• Level up moves
• Personal entries
• Trainers
• Tutor moves
• Pokemon with Shiny and Alternate forms

This article will be updated as new information is found. The link below contains the research done so far:

For all of you current or aspiring Nintendo Switch hackers, Team ReSwitched has released some previously-private tools, such as an exploitation toolkit and a sysmodule emulator. None of this is currently usable by the public, but this represents significant progress towards opening the Nintendo Switch for future enhancements, like the save and ROM editing we all enjoy on the 3DS.

Current research allows consoles to be exploited so long as the firmware is not above 3.0.0. If you are currently on or below this firmware version, and if you wish to use hacks when they're ready for the public, we encourage you to avoid updating.

Also, as a reminder, the window for submissions for our website's art competition end on October 13, 2017. The winner, as chosen by the community, will be given a colored username and a forum badge.

We would like to thank our Patrons on Patreon for helping to support us. Thank you for helping us help you help us all.

Animated PNG version

I wasn't aware animated PNGs were a thing. This could change everything.

Can you check the Event Viewer to see if any errors about PKHeX were logged?

Brief Guide to the Event Viewer

We have just introduced a new addition to our site: pages about Pokémon video games. In these pages, we give details about various features in video games. We currently have sections for two games: Pokémon Sun and Moon, and Pokémon Super Mystery Dungeon (well, that's technically 3, but you get the idea), and we plan to expand this as time goes on.

The pages are accessible through the main navigation under Site -> Pages -> Games.

Check it out:

I fixed the link not working, thanks for reporting.

Has a Pokemon to be in the banner/logo? I'm more a fan of neutral designs so I made a banner without one. I hope that's ok too.

  Hide contents

Yes, that Ball was inspired by the forum's current background xD

Maybe the design is to simple. But criticism is welcome!

No need for Pokémon to be present.

Good work!

@evandixon as for art competition criteria, should the Pokemon design be original?

what I meant is, it's pose is at least not fully based on official or unofficial art?

That would be preferable, since we don't want any blatant plaigarism.

Project Pokémon needs some new branding art, specifically a banner and a square logo, so we're holding an art competition. Here's how it works:

• Participants will submit art in this thread from now until October 13.
• Members will have 2 weeks to vote for the best submission. Members must have at least approved 50 posts in order to vote, as of the close of the voting period.
• The winner will be awarded a colored username here and on Discord, as well as a forum badge. Additionally, credit will be provided wherever the image is used.

Submission Criteria:

• Images should be PNG files. Additionally submitting project files (Photoshop, Gimp, etc.) is requested, but not required.
• Images should prominately display the text "Project Pokémon"
• Banners should include the text "Pokémon Through Innovation"
• Banners should be approximately 1000 pixels wide and 200 pixels high. Larger images are acceptable (and preferable) as long as the aspect ratio is the same (5 wide:1 high), and text is readable when resized to 1000x200.
• Logos should be approximately 250x250 pixels. Larger images are acceptable (and preferable) as long as the aspect ratio is 1:1.
• Content features original drawings and background; plagiarism not accepted
• You may place your name/username in the corner of each image so long as it does not draw undue attention to itself

We just got finished applying some back-end server updates. Nothing particularly interesting, but we have some other exciting announcements.

Discord

For years, we've used IRC as our primary instant messaging service. Now, we have a Discord guild where you can discuss anything.

Advantages of Discord over IRC:

• See message history without having to be connected
• Cross platform - use it on desktop, mobile, or in a web browser
• More formatting options, including the same reactions as what we have in the forums

Guild link: https://discord.gg/pmATjZw

IRC isn't going anywhere, and we still plan to use it for more technical discussions.

Patreon

Project Pokémon gets its funding from two sources: advertisements and administrators. Nobody likes advertisements, and things can get expensive when only a few people bankroll a dedicated server. Thanks to Patreon, hopefully we can fix that. Patreon is a place where users can help support us, helping give Project Pokémon a more stable future. People who donate will receive the following rewards:

• No more advertisements
• Gold username on the forums and Discord
• Sneak-peeks of upcoming features

Project Pokémon Patreon

The Image Gallery

Speaking of sneak-peeks of upcoming features, one new feature that's been in the works for quite a while is now ready. Today, we introduce our Image-dex. Here, you can find a collection of Pokémon images from various games and generations.

Art Competition

We need a new banner and icon for things like Twitter, Facebook, and Patreon, so we're holding an art competition. The winner will be awarded a special username color on the forums and Discord, a forum badge, and credit wherever the image is used. Details are in the art competition thread:

Aw, that sucks, I just unlocked it

Uninstall the update and it'll be back

I finished re-watching the anime. It managed to alleviate my boredom for quite a while, and it seems that the same applies to others on the internet too. I found a video about how Light's scheme would fail much more quickly nowadays.

In Pokémon Super Mystery Dungeon, there's a place in Lively Town called the Meowth Theater where you can record yourself playing through a dungeon. Films that are saved locally can be watched later or shared online. Since the games were released, the online service for sharing films has been discontinued. However, so has the entire theater service, if you install the latest update. If you try talking to Meowth in town, you'll be greeted with this dialog:

 Welcomeow to Meowth Theatrer, Meowever...

You won't be able to watch any films anymore.

I'm really sorry, meow.

This Meowth Theater shutdown extends outside the game itself, however. It has been removed from the official character list.

The same place on the same page shown today. Notice the "=-". Perhaps Meowth scratched the page as he was dragged away.

Restoring the Meowth Theater to the game is as simple as uninstalling the update. It remains fully functional, except that films can no longer be shared. It is currently unknown if anything else has changed in the update, so there is no compelling reason to install this update.

I just finished watching it. Having watched the original anime, it felt.. wrong. The anime is about an intelligent and upstanding young man who finds a death note, uses it on a man who's holding 8 people hostage, becomes a vigilante, then afterward meets Ryuk. The movie is about an intelligent young man who sells homework to other students (aka cheating), finds a death note, meets Ryuk while in detention for said cheating, is manipulated by Ryuk into murdering a school bully (they probably didn't need to show a live action depiction of decapitation), then is manipulated by his girlfriend Mia into becoming a vigilante. I got some hope for the movie back after L was introduced, but because of spoiler-ific events, the whole plot became about revenge rather than a clash of ideals.

I plan to rewatch the anime, since the movie made me remember its strengths.

All this talk about emotions reminds me of this:
