The next major update is planned to include language support, yes! There might be a minor update or two in the meantime to fix a few pertinent bugs, but the language support will absolutely be a part of v2.0.0!

Lorenzooone’s tool does match PIDs and IVs, so you should be safe there! From what I understand, Bank’s servers are tied to the HOME servers, which means that they should stay up as long as HOME is around- and since the Switch 2 has compatibility, it should be around for a while πŸ™‚

Finally ended up buying this game after trying the demo and… yeah there goes my productivity for the next <indeterminant amount of time>

If this was on console, I genuinely would probably never end up playing anything else ever again πŸ™ƒ

I definitely recognize it too, even if it doesn’t end up being from Survivor- super curious to find out where it’s from!!

Is it the font they use in Survivor for the on screen info? Like the player’s name and what tribe they’re in

I genuinely can’t tell if the chords truly work together or if my ears are playing tricks on me- specifically the 4th/8th chord in the sequence. They all have some dissonance to them, but those just sound slightly off, idk. Might just be overthinking it though lol

Recently I’ve been messing around with what music could sound like for PokΓ© Transporter GB! I want to have callbacks to the Dream World & other transfer methods, and this is one of the arrangements I came up with. It’s very crudely put together atm, but I think it has potential!

What do you think?

Thank you Muppet*Vision 3D, for everything. You were one of a kind (well, two of a kind from 2001 to 2014) and hopefully someday you’ll return. You’ve inspired so many things in my life, and will continue to in the future.

Life’s like a movie, write your own ending- keep believing, keep pretending.

Hello!!

At the moment, there is not a reward for completing the Dream Dex- but I am absolutely planning one to be added. I’ve had an idea since the beginning, but I just haven’t had the time to implement it!

There *is* a protocol in place for MissingNo- but I won’t spoil it here. Not a bad egg! πŸ˜„

Howdy! Unfortunately, I don’t have a label made for Poke Transporter GB at the moment- however, I believe there’s a few fan made ones online πŸ˜„

LJ and I would love to made a set of graphics for cartridges and stuff, we just haven’t had the chance to yet. Sometime we will though!

I'll have to do some more research and add a whole bunch of stuff (yay reverse RNG calculations), but I've found documentation for a lot of it, and I *think* this can be pulled off.

Thank you for coming to my TED Talk ect ect yada yada

And, since one IV is mathematically equal to 4 EVs, I could offset the extra IV by decreasing the Pokemon's EVs by 4. Absolute worst case scenario, the Pokemon has one extra stat point in a given stat. I feel like that's pretty reasonable, especially since SE->EVs isn't perfect in the first place.-

Furthermore, all of the Pokemon that this issue effects (Legendaries, Unown, Ditto) all have no gender and one ability. I also know that all the natures will be one of the 5 that don't have any effect. This gives a pretty solid chance for a combination to exist. I am unsure about Unown though.-

After pondering it for a bit, I think I've come up with a solution!

Since I'm doubling the DVs to get the IVs, there is always room to increase them by one value. (ie 15->30 or 31). If I check for both 2(DV) and 2(DV)+1, that gives me 36 more chances for what I'm looking for to exist.-

Thank you so much for the in depth response, I really appreciate it! This has been buzzing in my head a lot, so to have people agree and discuss it is really helpful- and I’m glad people don’t think I’m going insane πŸ˜‚

Also I promise the prep for that thing is just about done! It’s been a process πŸ˜…

I originally wanted the met locations to all be consistently FRLG- but having the beasts be from Colo would probably be the best option, at least for the Legal method. Guess it’s just one of those things you get stuck thinking and realize is silly once you take a step back πŸ˜…
