[potent karma]

Does anyone know?

[lime flare]

new game

[potent karma]

Cool

[trail hull]

It’s the second now

It was sent after April 1st so it must be true

[fossil flame]

Do you have any information on when this game is theoretically supposed to be released? And thank you to the entire Infinite Fusion team, I've never had so much fun playing a Pokémon game! I'd always dreamed of having a system a bit like Dragon Quest Monster Fusion in a Pokémon game, and even though it's different, I find the same enjoyment but with a Pokémon touch 🔥

[fringe forge]

me seeing the dev update

https://tenor.com/view/mmmm-monkey-monkey-ug-master-oogway-oogway-gif-19727561

that was my joke of the week
ill let my self out

https://tenor.com/view/the-simpsons-bart-simpson-grampa-simpson-old-man-going-in-gif-17818438

[inland jewel]

2028

[uncut tangle]

2028 with good behavior

[inland jewel]

its safe to assume since they have said they're going to slow down development after the demo releases

and its been a year of dev time to get everything they have till now to get to slateport

[paper portal]

Guys help

[inland jewel]

#gameplay-help

[paper portal]

I ended ori quest how do I get fomantis now

Pls noone there

[uncut tangle]

Then wait

[inland jewel]

its only been 5 minutes?

[uncut tangle]

Do not start double posting in other channels

[scarlet pebble]

Guys will ... be in the game?

[burnt lynx]

will the hoenn game have my pokemon from kanto and johto?

[sonic lantern]

Wheen is coming out

@prime dust ?

[prime dust]

pins

check them

[sonic lantern]

wdyum

[prime dust]

it means check the pins

[sonic lantern]

.kk

[sonic lantern]

where?

[prime dust]

in this channel

[shy condor]

red button

[dense cosmos]

Eventually, years from now, we will have to stop pinning.
-# until the next pif region comes out

[prime dust]

tbf, that won't likely happen until PIF Hoenn hits the same issue that PIF has

which is the map count gets too close to the RPG Maker limit

now I know hoenn has a lot of maps, but i don't think it has around 849

and that is assuming frog still wants to keep doing more at that point

[hardy tartan]

could always do non-IF

[proud lion]

So the monkeys aren’t happening yet?

https://tenor.com/view/pansage-pokemon-gif-9285887012927471420

[craggy nexus]

nope that was an april fool joke

[molten loom]

No idea, it's possible the Trumpet has distracted them enough, or it's possible it was just a bunch of monkey business

[rancid nymph]

It’s monkey business if they do get added

[proud lion]

https://tenor.com/view/spider-man-sad-gif-8953872555328582544

If it was Gen 8 fusions then it would be more understandable as a joke

But the monkis have the viability to be added with the engine

[molten loom]

I'd say it's still like 50/50 it being a joke or real atm

Only way to know for sure is if frog and paya confirm either way

[velvet root]

I say if it was real they would have given us numbers

Like its almost a day

[hardy tartan]

yeah, but they haven't debunked it yet either and it's been almost a day

[viscid wren]

We are in a state of both getting and not getting the monkes until the devs step in

I do agree though, I think they would of made an announcement already

[proud lion]

"PAYA! Give us the monkey numbers and our lives are yours!"

[viscid wren]

Im used to hearing monke slander, its nice to see my boi simisear getting some deserved adoration

[velvet root]

Schrodingers Monke

[hushed axle]

632, 633, 634, 635, 636, 637

[gray stream]

Thanks erihppas

I knew they were getting added

[proud lion]

It has to be from the words of the Frog or Paya overlords

[hushed axle]

I’m just Payas extension

[trail hull]

You’re neither a fruit or a frog therefore we will ignore this statement

[dusk narwhal]

I wonder which starters are gonna get added

[flint tiger]

new starters?

[dusk narwhal]

Yeah

[hushed axle]

Monkeys obviously

[dusk narwhal]

I honestly love the monkey trio from the games

Pansage the most

[trail hull]

Changing your name to fruit doesn’t count

[flint tiger]

though i'm pretty sure Torchic, Treecko and Mudkip are gonna be in PIF Hoenn

i could be wrong, since i no nothing about the game's development or whatever

i ain't a beta tester

[trail hull]

Kinda sad Orre is a troll when it was a brilliant idea

[hushed axle]

They’ve been shown already

[dusk narwhal]

They should do it like the newer games where it’s like torchic squirtle then grookey

[hushed axle]

No gen 8

[trail hull]

That was a leak and the person who showed them was banned (it was chardub they got banned)

[dusk narwhal]

Gen 8 was amazing

[rancid nymph]

So what you’re saying is, we’re getting 60 new Pokémon in addition to the monkeys

[molten loom]

Idk she is a bit fruity anyways

[hushed axle]

[flint tiger]

two of those are the starters i chose for those specific regions

sorry squirtle, i choose charmander for kanto

[dusk narwhal]

I like charmander but he’s gotten overrated

Like I’ve used him so much

If I could choose the starters I’d go hmm…..

oshawatt for the water starter

Litten for fire

Hmmmm…..

The grass is a hard choice

I’d have to choose bulbsaur

Cause my favorite grass starters are grookey and sprigatto

[trail hull]

Normally for April fools prank after making people believe you say happy April fools, here we haven’t gotten that yet meaning it’s still possible

[dense cosmos]

April fools!
We are the monkeys!
-# jk, it's April 2nd

[flint tiger]

we're all humans after all

[viscid wren]

Speak for yourself puny earthling

[flint tiger]

so you're a robot?

[trail hull]

oh wait we are blue again , yippee

[velvet root]

https://tenor.com/view/jax-jax-digital-circus-the-amazing-digital-circus-tadc-crazy-gif-10052278115916369306

Me after #announcements

[wicked heath]

No mokeys?

[velvet root]

No monke

[inland jewel]

rip

[velvet root]

no orre

but trumpet

[inland jewel]

man, the monkeys would have been soo cool though

[sacred pagoda]

No orre monkees jumping on the bed

[velvet root]

What if we just act like the monkeys got added and make fusions

[atomic hornet]

Maybe in the future, frog does love to troll for now though, we're adding the rest of the hoenn pokedex, so it'll be a while before we add new pokemon

[velvet root]

I mean the Monkeys are hoenn mons fr fr

[trail hull]

so can you confirm this was an april fool , I'm too dumb to understand if it isn't one or not

[velvet root]

Orre and Monkeys were April fools
Trumpets not

[atomic hornet]

than put it under non-if in spritework and when the day comes, you can post them to the gallery yourself or they'll be harvested you can post them as an alt to a pif fusion, but I would very much not like that. It would be a pain in the ass later

[viscid wren]

Called it

[velvet root]

What we should make them infernape, ambipom etc alts so you got more work for this april fools prank?

[craggy nexus]

trumpets kinda were then we had an idea

[trail hull]

oh but it was so cool , why did you have to make the best concept for the day of foolery

[atomic hornet]

yes, orre and the monkeys were april fools. Trumpets were, but we and so many people genuinely loved it. We're last minute adding it to the game. That'll need more bug testing since we're having it be acquired in a cool way, but we love a good laugh

[trail hull]

guys this is a subtle text for tellign us that if we want orre and the elemental monkeys we need to shout it louder

[viscid wren]

Pokemon Infinte Trumpet confirmed

[velvet root]

I heard not adding monke is a april second joke 🥲

[velvet root]

I got told to shut up shouting for Gogoat so this doesnt work

[trail hull]

it was a joke

[trail hull]

This is a genuine question , I thought that pory soundstrack was already adding more trumpets? So is a 200% trumpet version

[viscid wren]

Every sprite is beimg replaced with a trumpet

Including the tilesets

[wicked heath]

My Simipour-loving heart

[trail hull]

realized that it might be rude to pory , if thats the case I apologize it wasn't my intend

the trumpet soundtrack slaps

[wicked heath]

Kinda feeling upset about no Simipour but I'll try to get over it

[velvet root]

Yeah I would have loved the Monkes, they deserve spotlight

[gray stream]

RIP simispark

[atomic hornet]

Yep! Pory personally remixed the entire soundtrack to sound amazing, this trumpet version is literally all instruments being replaced by trumpets. The video soundtrack is not the actual game soundtrack

[trail hull]

oh ok

[fringe forge]

trumpet is very cool

[trail hull]

so that means that the kalos soundtrack is in the base pifh game

[atomic hornet]

Kalos soundtrack?

[trail hull]

wait was it removed

found the old message

coumarien city was mentionned in the soundtrack

[viscid wren]

Someone mentioned there was a kalos song but not the whole soundtrack

[trail hull]

which is a kalos place

[trail hull]

it was me lol

[trail hull]

I missexplaiend it , I forgot the name for song for a hot minute

is was coumarine_X_Y or something like that

[atomic hornet]

We do have some extra tracks, but as of right now all maps are hoenn only

[trail hull]

oh ok

Guys i know what we need , we need a version of the soudntrack where all the instruments are replaced with air horns

I think it truly will be pleasign to people ears

[hybrid lichen]

Wait this is so hype, I didnt even realize we were getting hoenn

Since I haven't followed much of anything around it and am just finding out about it now, lol, which gens are we going to see?

[inland jewel]

the same as PIF 1

[viscid wren]

Asked in hoenn chat

[hybrid lichen]

Apologies I haven't played much of 1 due to software issues, what gen we go up to in 1?

[inland jewel]

7

[hybrid lichen]

I know theres a solid mix

Oh sweet

[viscid wren]

Oh wait, now I think I get it I thought yhis was a troll

[hybrid lichen]

All the mons I care about then

[viscid wren]

I apologize

[inland jewel]

and unless the devs want to take a 10 year no update break, we can't get anything above that

[hybrid lichen]

Ty!

[inland jewel]

i mean... if you have troubles running PIF 1, you're gonna have an even harder time running Pif Hoenn

just so you know

[trail hull]

I did the calculation a while back but if we get 30 mons per year we can keep it up for 8 years

[viscid wren]

I feel like it should be clarified we have SOME pokemon up to gen 7

[atomic hornet]

Not all pokemon are in the games, we have all of 1-2, the rest are all scattered. We do not go beyond gen 7
Hoenn adds the rest of the gen 3 pokedex we didn't have before.
Some pokemon are exclusive per game, but you can "trade" in between them. For more information, read the faq in the pins

[inland jewel]

^

[atomic hornet]

It doesn't hurt to clarify further for other people. And I'm cat sitting currently, the internet here sucks and the replies just loaded in for me

[hybrid lichen]

That was awhile ago. I just forgot about it until recently when I got my Ayn Thor

[viscid wren]

Cat mentioned, precious beans

[atomic hornet]

3 of them, and allergic my own baby boy doesn't bother me, but these are longer haired

[viscid wren]

Yikes, that sucks

We have 9 currently due to rescues

[hybrid lichen]

Mine was bugging too, didnt see like any of the other replies when I was asking

[atomic hornet]

its ok, this family member does a lot for me so I dont mind. And then he actually paid me when he didn't need to I could use some money right now so I'm grateful

[viscid wren]

Thats so awesome of them, you work so hard I imagine thats a bit of relief

[proud lion]

https://tenor.com/view/noooooo-depression-meme-spiderman-gif-19814282

Me when the trumpets start blaring and the monkeys scatter:

[atomic hornet]

ok this one got me

[rancid nymph]

Paya is part of team Aqua confirmed?

[viscid wren]

I know its not gonna happen but a team sky reference would be funny

[sacred pagoda]

Outfits are made by the community so who knows, someone could make one (Though if they do I would highly suggest running it by MandJTV first lol)

Just in case

[viscid wren]

I did not mean an outfit lol

[sacred pagoda]

Ahh

We'll just play as TEAM SKY

[potent karma]

Great excuse for a mono flying run

[viscid wren]

Absolutely

[potent karma]

Also he has played Infinite Fusion before

[sacred pagoda]

Have I done Monoflying...

[sacred pagoda]

Twice. Once as TEAM SKY and once as Dr Fuse :3

[viscid wren]

Gotta have a flying fusion of mightyena

[potent karma]

Oh yeah

[rancid nymph]

He would probably be cool with it

[sacred pagoda]

Back when he played it the birds couldn't pass on their flying type in fusions which made it funnier

[rancid nymph]

Still, Team Sky constantly uses the demon lizard, so I’d rather they stay out of the game

[sacred pagoda]

I know he would be it just wouldn't feel right not running it by him before hand

Lol

[viscid wren]

Id ve surprised if he doesnt get hyped over PIFH and play it honestly

[craggy nexus]

im pretty sure that against the rules not reference from outside pokemon, tho we might scurry it by calling it rayquaza jacket

[viscid wren]

I more so meant like, a bird keeper that just shouts "GO TEAM SKY!" or something but yeah that would be very suspect

[flint tiger]

bird keeper mikey

[magic radish]

Still no date set?

[inland jewel]

the last time the devs gave an estimate, they undershot it by a year

so they no longer give dates

just the eternal. "When its ready it will be out"

will say though, the demo is for sure this year at minimum

and full game is definitely not this year

[dusk narwhal]

Hear me put Jessie and James hair style in the game then you have to help an “old couple” find their lost meowth and when you find it and return him they give you Jessie and James rocket outfit then they run off

[viscid wren]

The outfits are already in the game

Oh wait, wrong channel

[dusk narwhal]

where

[viscid wren]

Goldenrod rocket hideout

[lime flare]

https://tenor.com/view/absolute-cinema-raccoon-absolute-cinema-gif-17862327649353748812

[dusk narwhal]

I hope you win the lottery

[viscid wren]

But idk about pifh, I wonder how ibtaining pif1 stuff for it is gonna work

[dusk narwhal]

I just hope there will be more clothes options that are similar to the roserade suit

[spice sage]

The game hasn't even been in development for a year lol

[viscid wren]

I dont think they meant specifically for pifh

[magic radish]

But it's the demo that I really want to play.

[sacred pagoda]

Jessie's hair is in the game

[dusk narwhal]

https://tenor.com/view/batman-where-is-she-nikkal-nikkalkundhal-nick-gif-18076474

lol

[sacred pagoda]

Idk where you get it but I've seen it in the files

It's there I just dunno where in game

Oh

Nvm

RIP

[hushed axle]

Or so you thought

If you really think about it, hoenn has been in development for 10 years since the code is shared

[craggy nexus]

even if not it has been a year since the anouncement so it has been atleast a year in development

[spice sage]

Not really, we announced it really early

[spice sage]

truuuuue

[inland jewel]

i meant one of the pokemon updates

but also figure of speech since it was promised last year (the date changed from 23-24

[steady gull]

Ive been watching the progress quietly and im getting more excited each update. can't wait to see what the demo has in store on release you guys make some 🔥 games

[inner ether]

How the coding going and art?

[prime dust]

I mean sprites are being made at a reasonable speed [I think]

coding is...spaghetti I assume, as per usual

[proud lion]

https://tenor.com/view/luigi-mario-hotel-hotel-mario-mario-hotel-gif-12345480234529403606

[primal frost]

Cant wait to play this 💯✨️😁

[sturdy frost]

-# you'll have to wait

[flint tiger]

that's an expression

they are very excited

[atomic hornet]

Still spaghetti, just a little less tangled. I'd say the sauce is really good this time, than a basic marinara. Maybe it's a creamy vodka sauce this time, or a really good lemon parmesan cream sauce

[spice sage]

Coding is going great

[atomic hornet]

Need a touch more garlic

[full bison]

The "what should you do?" At the bottom really ties this together

[atomic hornet]

Going great, except we can't stop ourselves from adding new things and making adjustments

[dense cosmos]

Just don't eat it.
Might crash the game.

[viscid wren]

Wheres the garlic bread?

[fringe forge]

https://tenor.com/view/cooking-bread-ralphthebaker-fried-bread-toasted-bread-gif-27307667

workin on it

[trail hull]

You’re making me hungry

[velvet root]

I heard Spaghetti

[prime dust]

https://tenor.com/view/fsm-spaghetti-flying-spaghetti-monster-pastafarian-gif-13529134

[dense cosmos]

Who awoken the spaghetti...

[rancid nymph]

https://tenor.com/view/dio-jojo-anime-cartoon-japanese-gif-7432836

[jade elbow]

Every time someone says spaghetti from now on I have a Vietnam flashback of the newest episode of invincible

||The ending||

[sacred pagoda]

Me when I'm playing Infinite Fusions instead of doing my job

[dense cosmos]

You are doing your job.
You're making sure it works!
-# even if it is the wrong game

[bitter zenith]

Oh no,,, the horrors,,,

[jade elbow]

||Bro got spaghetti'd||

[proud lion]

There’s the culprit that scared the monkies away!

Also jumpscared by mod applications again

[winter raven]

Is Hoenn out yet?

sorry

[prime dust]

there is no sorry in ba sing se...only pins

[winter raven]

https://tenor.com/view/sigourney-weaver-stupid-job-tim-allen-gif-7487938

apparently last night i fell asleep with youtube auto play
and uh.....

oops

tbh i fell asleep to worst stuff

but this is funny

[rancid nymph]

<@&306953740651462656>

Don’t know how they got past the auto mod

[placid pelican]

they always find a way

always

[blissful phoenix]

when it dropin

[rancid nymph]

Chat, pin this man ☝️

[blissful phoenix]

did i do smth wrong? i just got here

[latent knoll]

Uhh read the pinned messages

[blissful phoenix]

thank

[spark prism]

it's a surprise

[latent knoll]

Also pin emojis are this places punishment for that question 😂

Because of frequency

[kind forum]

Forward

[blissful phoenix]

thanks i liked getting pinned i felt special

please put uhhh sandyghast in the game that guy is pretty cool

[latent knoll]

Already is in of so most likely will

[blissful phoenix]

wee

[dense cosmos]

Sandygast are in sand castles and take offense to you kicking the sand castle

[blissful phoenix]

sandygast live in my chanclas

[inner ether]

Is there a time frame your hoping to have it done by which i know probably won't happen if you keep adding things XD

[wise ridge]

Think they said early 2026

So like by the end of the month

[atomic hornet]

Since frog said it I can't play with you guys any more and say 1-3 months
But we're aiming for April

[flint tiger]

"April" could mean 2026, 2027, or even 2035, the non-testers have no way of knowing unless they're told

[atomic hornet]

I guess I can still mess you guys in this small way

||2026 lol||

[shrewd hedge]

Yo this month???

[sacred pagoda]

It's possible

1-3 months

But delays can happen

[atomic hornet]

Aiming for this month, we're still adding some things last minute and fixing bugs. And there's something else we want to do outside of the actual game

[rancid nymph]

https://tenor.com/view/huh-hmm-come-again-excuse-me-key-and-peele-gif-16137591

[shrewd hedge]

I’m expecting one, so that way it’s just an amazing surprise if it does come out this month

[sacred pagoda]

Don't forget it is also the demo. We ain't getting the whole thing anytime soon XD

[atomic hornet]

Thee release date was always tentative, we're excited to release it, but we never put a hard date to prevent being rushed. We want to make sure it's actually ready. That being said we're expecting bugs after release, but porygons work hard to find as much as possible

Omg yes, this is not the full game by any means it's the demo only, we have not started development past this point outside of some things in the files, such as music

[crystal cosmos]

~~And Orre clearly ~~

[sacred pagoda]

Will frog release secret bugfixes for PIF1 when he releases the demo XD

[atomic hornet]

Nah, he's consumed by hoenn and would need a rest period before doing pif1 bug fixes

[sacred pagoda]

Valid

[atomic hornet]

there are some things that I personally plan to fix, but nothing you guys would be excited for that would change a lot in the grand scheme of things

[sacred pagoda]

Anything that makes tech support life mildly easier gets me hyped

[crystal cosmos]

Damn, I guess Lance’s Hitmonlee fusion in the rematch tiers will forever be misspelled as Himtonlee

[atomic hornet]

Yeah sorry, I'm not qualified for any of that maybe one day

but the revamp I gave npcs I will be doing for pif 1, like making sure everyone is aligned with the player, and stuff like that

[atomic hornet]

Wait, is it a nickname or the fusion name? I may be able to fix it if it were a nickname

[crystal cosmos]

No, he misspelled it in the files so it becomes Pikachu instead

Since that’s the default when game doesn’t recognize Pokemon

[atomic hornet]

Fun fact, I help out with pif 1, but I haven't played it, so you're more knowledgable than I am on a lot. I've been making my way through it though. It's been over a year and I'm in lavender town

[rancid nymph]

Nah, the next game’s going to be infinite fusion Lental. Trust

[atomic hornet]

yeah, the player fell out of love with battling and wants to document the behavioral patterns of wild fusion. they become a photographer

[sacred pagoda]

Infinite Ultra Fusion

[sacred pagoda]

Isn't that a canonical character in Gen 9

[rancid nymph]

If you get started on the game now, you might be done with it by the heat death of the universe

[sacred pagoda]

Have a whole fucking photoshoot to take pictures of the fucking bear

[crystal cosmos]

Don’t worry I haven’t actually played in a super long time as well
Only hop on now for when showdown has any questions and needs testing on PIF mechanics since it’s a mix between gen 5 and gen 7 stuff.

[blissful phoenix]

pokemon fusion oblivia is next

the goat

[viscid wren]

Pokemon Infinite Pinball Fusion

[atomic hornet]

oh wait, is that not the region of pokemon snap 2?

[rancid nymph]

Lental is from New Pokémon Snap yes

[sacred pagoda]

I constantly forget that game exists

[crystal cosmos]

PIF Hoenn should include every region but only have exactly 1 tile for them

[molten loom]

Perrin?

[sacred pagoda]

Yeah her lmao

[undone stirrup]

I did not complete the dex or do any side mission

Why she has a Growlithe-H tho

[placid pelican]

WASNT ME

I ALWAYS FORWARD

[alpine roost]

Pretty sure Perrin's thing was that she was a child prodigy in the photography world, but when the player character meets her in The Teal Mask she's lost her inspiration and wants to photograph Bloodmoon Ursaluna to get her inspiration back.

[alpine roost]

She's strongly implied to be a direct descendant of Adaman from Legends Arceus.
It's even all but stated directly in Pokemon Masters during her intro event with Arezu & Mai.

[hushed axle]

Poor verdant bob has to wait longer

[molten loom]

for some reason my brain thought of a guy named bob that was green before the hairstyle

[dusk narwhal]

Sand attack should be changed to pocket sand

I change my mind get rid of that fucking move

[viscid wren]

Just for that, it now lowers 2 stages of accuracy

And every trainer has it

[dusk narwhal]

I will drop all your soda cans just hard enough to where they get fucked up and hard to drink out of

[full bison]

It alongside Minimize

[viscid wren]

Without the niche body slam/stomp interaction

[inland jewel]

keen eye apparently just negates your evasion stat

so if yu minimized 6 times, if you have keen eye you can just hit them

[dense cosmos]

2 stage decrease isn't enough.
4 stage decrease!

[crystal cosmos]

Why not go all out with 6 at that point

[viscid wren]

+7

[inland jewel]

if you get to +6 evasion and have sand veil active, what happens?

[crystal cosmos]

More evasion. Sand Veil isn’t a stat boost, it’s just another multiplier

That 10% will always be 10%

[dense cosmos]

And yet the enemy will hit you with that level of evasion

[prime dust]

i mean there are moves that never miss, and ways to work around stupid evasion nonsense

[calm jackal]

How's pifh gonna work? Just wondering if it's gonna be a whole different region/map with the same mons, or exclusive mons?

[dark bobcat]

Better be a Team Sky reference cuz well, Hoenn
Maybe in a Team Sky uniform and hat?

[torn crane]

I actually got here cus mandj video lmao

[dark bobcat]

Real

[errant jungle]

Do we have any potential release window?

I am completely clueless about what the game is outside of a sequel and there's hoenn

[sacred pagoda]

FAQ Explains it all

[strange heart]

This is super fake right or is this real and I'm just dumb

[sacred pagoda]

Super SUPER fake

[strange heart]

Yep figured

[sacred pagoda]

They posted that site about half a year ago so we do know of it

[strange heart]

All right just checking it seemed weird for there to be an official site for it when regular pif doesn't have one

[calm pumice]

isn't hoenn still in development

i sure hope they still have the magic boots tho they probably be harder to get

[sacred pagoda]

Yeah. The people who manage the malware files for the base game put up a Hoenn version not even a month after it was announced

[calm pumice]

i really hope the gen 5 starters are added in hoenn bc i really wanna see an emboar fused with every legendary

[rancid nymph]

At launch? No. At some point in the future? Maybe

[sacred pagoda]

Everything being added with Hoenn's launch is already on the calcs site

[calm pumice]

tho for launch i kinda hope we have all the current mon in this game are there

i mean all the gen 3 mon in this game will be there bc they originate from hoenn

[prime dust]

easier

[calm pumice]

wdym easier

[prime dust]

I mean less pokemon to catch

the dex addition won't increase the requirements for PIF

and likewise, because not all mons in PIF will be in the sequel, the boots will be far easier to get in that

[rancid nymph]

That assumes that debug is going to be in the demo

[prime dust]

well not the demo

because not all the mons will be accessible

[dense cosmos]

Don't mind me.
Just adding more pokemon to make it harder.

[prime dust]

neither will randomizer

[calm pumice]

dude wouldn't it make sense for the mon in this game will be in pif hoenn

[prime dust]

but once the game is fully out, the entire gen 3 dex, plus some choice picks from pif will be in that game

[calm pumice]

i plan on sticking to base pif until hoenn is fully released

and out of demo and beta testing

[dense cosmos]

I added 9999999 more pokemon.
Have fun getting debug!
-# jk

[calm pumice]

i wonder what the newest generation games will be for the main line series

[prime dust]

beside the announced winds and waves?

who knows

[rancid nymph]

You added more Pokémon than there are ones in existence. Impressive

[calm pumice]

yeah

[calm pumice]

by the time pokemon is funished adding new generations Pif will have a bunch of region specific games

[prime dust]

no guarantees

i assume frog will stop at some point

[calm pumice]

it is just a prediction

probably in paldea

[prime dust]

sooner than that

[calm pumice]

bc of all the paradox forms

dude paldea added Zacian and Zamazenta didn't it

[prime dust]

gen 8+ is off the table for the forseeable future

[rancid nymph]

Nah, Frog’s going to pass PIF on to his next of kin. Trust

[prime dust]

galar did that

[calm pumice]

i am hoping pokemon doesn't add any more generations i lost count of how many mon there were after sinnoh

[prime dust]

they already said they plan to add more pokemon

[viscid fossil]

how do we tell them

[prime dust]

like 10,000 more

[viscid fossil]

https://tenor.com/view/pombon-pokemon-winds-waves-cute-gif-17872277492748694841

[prime dust]

no thoughts only doge

[calm pumice]

nintendo needs to slow down after this new one and make sure the fire doesn't get the fighting dual type at final evo

[rancid nymph]

Hopefully a fire/fairy doge. Eventually

[calm pumice]

there are too many starters with fire/fighting in them

[prime dust]

oop had it wrong

https://www.dexerto.com/pokemon/pokemon-champions-producer-says-10000-pokemon-could-be-the-franchises-future-3342584/

up to 10,000 mons

[rancid nymph]

Not in my lifetime

[prime dust]

depends on how fast they churn out games

gen 10 is the longest they've gone between mainline titles

but if they keep their usual 3-4 year time line

[calm pumice]

if pokemon stops at 10k it will be impossible to collect all the cards without spending thousande maybe millions just to get the older generation cards

[rancid nymph]

They’d have to release a new generation practically every year

[calm pumice]

isn't pokemon champions a fan game as well or no

[prime dust]

granted also depends on how many new mons they churn out as well

[prime dust]

official pokemon game for switch 2/mobile

basically their answer to stuff like showdown

[viscid fossil]

You say as it it already doesn't work like that

[calm pumice]

dude people thought paldea was the final generation so what region is winds and waves gonna be in

[prime dust]

going off the visuals we saw during the teaser trailer, people are figuring some kind of island nation like the phillipenes

[calm pumice]

nintendo should have ended with paldea bc its already confusing enough with all the paradox mon

[shy condor]

nah, they gotta continue until they reach the future paradox timeline

[calm pumice]

i really nintendo also releases a pc pokemon game so we don't have to use emulators

[calm pumice]

aren't the paradox mon created due to distortions of time in paldea

[shy condor]

🤷‍♂️

[viscid fossil]

There is no way to make paradox pokemon make sense
their exestince itself is paradoxical

[viscid wren]

Your missing the point, pokemon is the highest earning media franchise in the world. They arent gonns stop until it stops making bank

[calm pumice]

they are making more money from the switch 2 now than they are from pokemon bc people are getting tired of the constant additions

[viscid wren]

Okay, the switch 2 is a console

Not a media franchise

They have to sell games for the console

[viscid fossil]

if I have a 60 dollar game that requires you to buy a 400 dollar console to play
One of those is inherently going to make more money

[calm pumice]

u mean the keys to access the games

[viscid fossil]

that is irrelevant to my point

[viscid wren]

And even if they were to make more money off a different franchise, they still would be making tons from pokemon

[sacred pagoda]

This isn't kingdom hearts, the games don't really connect so honestly the "They should have stopped because that shit was too confusing" doesn't apply to pokemon games because aside from a few sequels, they're entirely disconnected with no evidence to show any of them being connected

XD

Paradox mons make about as much sense if not MORE sense than Gen 7's UBs

[viscid wren]

I've never understood why people are so upset about the paradox mons honestly

I thought it was a neat gimmick

I like to think the robot ones are from a dystopian future where pokemon went extinct so people had to build their own

[full bison]

Some of the Paradoxes have neat designs for sure, but a lot of them felt undercooked.

Some of the Future Paradoxes did handle the "X but Robot" thing pretty well, such as Iron Moth, but a ton of them were just cases like Jugulis where there wasn't enough changed about them to justify their separate existence

Past has some lame ones too, like Scream Tail

Led to a pretty fun fanart trend though. Fanmade Paradox mons are some of my favorite fakemons

[inland jewel]

2028

[viscid wren]

Okay first off, Scream Tail is great

Thats the only point I wanted to say so idk why I said first off

[inland jewel]

if people ever thought Pokemon was going to stop releasing new generations, they might be delusional

until no one cares about pokemon anymore they're gonna release new generations.

[crystal cosmos]

Yeah

Why would they NOT want to make more money

[prime dust]

since it is always marketed towards kids, there will always be interest

even if a good chunk of the people playing it are actually teenagers or adults

[craggy nexus]

@spice sage people are asking bout making expectator gengar a feature

[spiral musk]

oh the bug where the gengar from the intro stays?

[spice sage]

I think that some of its charm comes from the fact that it's a glitch. It wouldn't be the same if it were intentional

[molten loom]

true

[spice sage]

It's so funny that it basically became a meme on the subreddit though

[viscid fossil]

live gengar reaction

[dense cosmos]

I was thinking of doing a yt video pretending gengar is controlling the game as a let's play stream, but I haven't done it yet.

The idea is also why I'm adding a talking gengar to this list of talking pokemon giovanni has in my fantasy pokemon stuff

[hushed axle]

I will cry if you ever fix it

[molten loom]

we already lost one best bug, we can't lose another

[hushed axle]

[molten loom]

-# rainbow imported shinies being the other one

[hushed axle]

RIP our rainbow shinies

[atomic hornet]

Seeing gengar posts makes me laugh so fucking much we never intend to fix it, don't worry

[prime dust]

you may not intend to fix it, but it may get fixed through the sheer power of code

[velvet root]

So you wont fix it

[keen valve]

Is there actually a beta for hoenn yet? I am blind when I look through announcements and cant find the announcement where frogzilla talked about it. But I remember it being mentioned at some point. Even if you just post the link to the announcement (since there hasn't been a pinned announcement in 2 years) I'd appreciate it.

Nevermind I was scrolling too far back, its only 4 announcements back

🙃

[sacred pagoda]

Lol

There is a version being bugtested by tech support and mods can too if they want

[primal frost]

How i wish I was a mod now 😂

[viscid wren]

A lot of people do byt I think most people think itd be more fun than it would be
Bug testing and playing a demo are veeeeery different

[primal frost]

I know, I've bug tested pokemon MMOs before

It was still fun

[viscid wren]

Don't get me wrong, bug testing is fun just not to as many people

I enjoy bug testing unless im the one who has to fix the bugs

[dense cosmos]

At least we should be safe from wingull hell.

Hopefully

[primal frost]

Yeah I understand lol

I was one of the pokeone testers back in the day

[scenic ginkgo]

we will never escape the gulls or miltank

https://tenor.com/view/seagull-pixar-seagulls-ocean-gif-996698667031947568

[dusk narwhal]

Random idea Fusion moves should be added where if you make specific fusions they can learn a fusion move like if you fuse kyorge and groudon they can learn “Origin Blades”

[uncut tangle]

That would be insanely unbalanced, chaotic, and just a real pain in the ass to implement.

I like it.

[dusky thistle]

https://tenor.com/view/homer-simpson-simpsons-now-we-play-the-waiting-game-gif-16327789852622540331

And now we wait until the hoenn region released

[dusk narwhal]

True cause then the move would have to be dual typed

[dense cosmos]

Origin blades would probably act like flying press.
Both water and ground attack making fire types scared

[full bison]

If I had to guess, the unused Fusion Beam TM that's just floating around in the game data and pops up occasionally in randomizers may have had a similar concept to this, just more generalized

[dense cosmos]

Sacred fire and aeroblast from ho-oh and lugia would probably be called sacred blast.
(Which I imagine would be a powerful beam that explodes whatever it hits)

[dusk narwhal]

https://tenor.com/view/kanye-west-kanyewest-yeezy-meme-gif-22503154

Pov: your a rattata being used to test sacred blast

[pure path]

is hoenn out yet?

ah looks like no rip

[torn crane]

They'll eventually run out of region and have to pick ||Israel or Russia|| I'm joking guys

[sacred pagoda]

I'd love to see a region based on Russia personally

Dunno why you spoilered that and immedietely pointed out you were joking

[uncut tangle]

Dang why did you spoil it, I had never heard of Russia

[sacred pagoda]

Sorry I had to

[uncut tangle]

What kind of mons can we find in Russia

[sacred pagoda]

Good question

[quaint matrix]

Russia is a great base for a region though

[uncut tangle]

In GO, Sigilyph is exclusive to Egypt, and i always thought that was a neat little detail

[quaint matrix]

It actually has a rich cultural history to take for one

[sacred pagoda]

It is?

That is kinda cool ngl

[quaint matrix]

And even its own storied ancient history to pull from and a very varied and diverse mythology (Slavic mythology really but that doesn't stop the British region from having a Japanese tea pot inspired Pokemon)

[uncut tangle]

Yeah id imagine the fact that at the end of the day, Nintendo (a Japanese company) has to greenlight it, is the reason we dont see some inspiration from certain countries.

Just until they run out of ideas

[quaint matrix]

All I'm saying is the current Russian tyrant notwithstanding there's a lot of cultural and historical base to pull on a Russian based game

[sacred pagoda]

Fr. We've gotten Spain. France. Varying parts of Japan. Two parts of America

Fuck what was galar

[quaint matrix]

Great Britain

[sacred pagoda]

Right

[quaint matrix]

Hell Isle of Armor is literally based on Isle of Man

[sacred pagoda]

I didn't know the dlc area had actual base

[quaint matrix]

Kitakami from Gen 9 is based on Japan as we all know

[sacred pagoda]

And Blueberry Academy is in Unova

[quaint matrix]

But very specifically its based on the Tohoku region as a whole

[sacred pagoda]

Which is NYC

Lol

[uncut tangle]

Do we have any Canadian inspired mons?

Sawsbuck comes to mind since its every season

[sacred pagoda]

Maybe I'm unsure tbh

[quaint matrix]

Isn't the Cubchoo line based on Canadian polar bears

[uncut tangle]

Ooh, I didn't know that

[quaint matrix]

Manitoba polar bears too I'm pretty sure

I might be misremembering tho LMAO

To be fair it might just be a general polar bear rather than Canadian specifically

[trail hull]

Does that mean we have a minecraft server or are we detected as a minecraft server ?

[prime dust]

neither

[trail hull]

are you sure ?

[prime dust]

i'm never sure or positive

but we don't have a mc server, and i don't know why discord would think we are a minecraft server

[velvet root]

Lets model all fusions and make a cobblemon addon

[fringe forge]

i believe discord automatically chooses that logo of a game based on what users share in the server
many people on the server play minecraft so discord puts it there

[sacred pagoda]

Then you just get a "Oops all Nacli" situation

[trail hull]

ah yes , nacli is totally in pif

[sacred pagoda]

I mean it's the only minecraft mon

P sure we can just shove it into the code

[viscid fossil]

It means that people in the server play minecraft often

[dense cosmos]

Speaking of minecraft, someone asked in off topic hours ago if anyone wanted to play.

[trail hull]

oh ok

[inner ether]

I rather the game take longer till the team happy then release it like most triple A companies do

[proud lion]

Porygon:

[sacred pagoda]

Porygon becomes rounded so it doesn't count :P

[rancid nymph]

PIF Minecraft server when

[prime dust]

that is why frog is pushing out a demo first

[sacred pagoda]

And there is a good amount of unique content in this demo

[prime dust]

granted...at least 50% of it is water...with trumpets

[sacred pagoda]

I want Mr Briney to wear a trumpet now

[proud lion]

I wish the elemental monkies had more courage against the instruments of the percussion kind

https://tenor.com/view/jumping-pansear-pansage-panpour-tyler-gif-2713289376955685920

[viscid wren]

But... but a trumpet is not percussion...

[viscid fossil]

All instruments are percussion

They make you hear by vibrating your eardrums

[dense cosmos]

But if that's the case, is talking an instrument? 🤔

[trail hull]

yes

[quaint matrix]

Acapella

[summer apex]

All instruments are percussion when you hit people with them

[viscid fossil]

Sorry, but according to my high school technology textbook, that would be cyberbullying

[green juniper]

only if you hit them with a DJ Mixer

[dusk narwhal]

It nacil is added his fusion with regirock has to be the thing

If*

[trail hull]

And then people starts asking why was nacli was added but not x from gen 8 of gen 9

[trail hull]

The April fool pranks made me realized how peak Orre could be in ouf and now I kinda want it to be real once the region is done

[viscid fossil]

I don't think pif works fundamentally when you can't catch wild pokemon
I already struggled with having a balanced team in that game, you want me to use 4 more mons?

[sacred pagoda]

looks at the no catch challenge

No it works

XD

PIF has a ton of pokemon you don't need to throw a single pokeball for

[viscid fossil]

I mean in the context of Orre

[sacred pagoda]

Oh

Idk the context lol

Idk what Orre is I'm just pretending I do

[viscid wren]

I will say, I hope we dont get sinnoh in pifh because then we could get a new game for sinnoh with a hisui postgame which could be really interesting

[viscid fossil]

Where colloseum is

Although some of the more useless shadow Pokémon being able to evolve now kinda helps?

[sacred pagoda]

Hisui is technically both a prequel and G8

Since no G8 mons (Which does include new forms and pokemon introduced in PLA) will be added safe to say that won't be happening

[atomic hornet]

See, I would really love to incorporate orre, but realistically how would it incorporate in the story of pif? We wouldn't have shadow pokemon, and wouldn't be stealing pokemon from trainers. We wouldnt have the same story, so it would only be a visit, and people would be disappointed

[sacred pagoda]

And if ya'll did do shadow mons, you'd have to make it unique to like the other

How many fangames have done shadow?

I just know Rejuv but I think there are others

[viscid wren]

We wouldnt need the regional forms, I think it could be an interesring dynamic though

[atomic hornet]

Keep in mind its a big IF if we even have another region tied to hoenn, but if we did than it would be wayyyyyyyyyy in the future

[sacred pagoda]

Okay but what about Kleavor, Wyrdeer, Enamorus? All Hisui staples

[atomic hornet]

I know frog wouldn't do shadow mons, we already have a gimmick and he would prefer for it to be the only one. Its kinda why we dont have megas

[viscid wren]

I genuinely forhot hisui was not just variants, I am not awake enough appearently lmao

[sacred pagoda]

Both Sinnoh and Hoenn are in Japan

Alola being a mock Sevii Isles LOL

[atomic hornet]

I donno if he would want to do a main region tbh

[sacred pagoda]

Valid

[viscid fossil]

how do we even deal with fusing shadows
Like these things can't even learn tms how do we make fusing them with non-shadows work

[sacred pagoda]

Honestly all jokes or suggestions aside I really am content with just the Hoenn games

[atomic hornet]

Johto is kinda an afterthought sadly, since its post game. While I want to give more love to it, it would suck if another region got the same treatment

[sacred pagoda]

Emerald is one of the best mainlines and I enjoyed the hell out of ORAS. 100% my favorite of the remakes

[molten loom]

i mean there isn't much competition, but they are great

[sacred pagoda]

I think Johto is mostly fine? It's a bit too easy to breeze through it. I think all it needs is Olivine, Cianwood, and adjacent routes

[sacred pagoda]

Trueeee. FRLG were. Okay. ORAS Peak. BDSP we don't speak of

And PMD DX is.

...

It's got a weird off-putting art style

Is a pretty faithful remake to mystery dungeon red/blue rescue team lol

Yay another compromised account

[viscid wren]

Yeah, I wanna be clear I am not complaining or anything just spouting ideas

I am more than content with just hoenn

[viscid fossil]

Everyone knows the real best pokemon game is pokemon card gb2: the invasion of team gr

[sacred pagoda]

Lmao

[viscid wren]

No no, its pokemon picross

Obviously

[sacred pagoda]

Speaking of best pokemon game I need to finish Shadows of Almia playthrough now that I found a phone stylus

[trail hull]

it's pif one all over again with shadow mon replaced by triple fusions. So that all the triples get story relevance. And we don't even need the snag machine. Just an : oopsie I conveiently dropped the pokeball containing the triple fusions after you defeated me

[trail hull]

it's peak have fun

but in an case it's a far away addition

[viscid wren]

I dony think just casually giving the player all the triples will go well

[trail hull]

we don't even have pifh demo yet

[trail hull]

post game

[molten loom]

Just do hoenn again but 90% more water. Surely that would be fun and exciting

[trail hull]

new region unlocked if you choosed team aqua path

[viscid wren]

Just add kanto back in cause no one ever gets tired of kanto

[atomic hornet]

Shhhh, that's demo 2 you get on the cruise and the whole game is on the ship

[sacred pagoda]

Postgame is just the plot of Cast Away

[viscid fossil]

isn't that just the plot of sv dlc part 2

[trail hull]

So the demo is maybe this month are you guys excited ?

[sacred pagoda]

Maybe

(In b4 we find another gamebreaking bug)

[dense cosmos]

For some reason my go to for cruises in my fantasy pokemon stuff is it gets taken over by pirates.
So now I'm imagining that if this is actual demo 2.

[atomic hornet]

We added more new things, we cant stop you got more things to test coming up

[sacred pagoda]

[atomic hornet]

like a few new quests

[sacred pagoda]

Good we ran out of bugs

[atomic hornet]

~~One of which is very silly ~~

[dusk narwhal]

https://tenor.com/view/michael-jackson-comendo-picoca-gif-9669437860846841235

[sacred pagoda]

I love silly quests

[atomic hornet]

[molten loom]

wonder if I will get any silly bugs doing it

[dusk narwhal]

You find a secret forest and as you walk through you hear howling and it gets foggier the more you travel inside then you come upon an old shrine with a rusted sword and shield and you interact with it and it’s aegislash lol

[sacred pagoda]

We should have a compilation of the silliest bugs we found once the demo's out

[dusk narwhal]

Pokémon bloopers lol

[sacred pagoda]

Yes

[atomic hornet]

Frog started making a dev bloopers reel!

[sacred pagoda]

HE DID?

YAY

[dusk narwhal]

I honestly can’t wait till it’s out I’m already hyped for it

[velvet root]

Can we just randomly cut off a area from Hoenn to trigger people

[dense cosmos]

We cut off lilycove

[flint tiger]

completely erase the starting town

I mean in the demo it's going to cut off the world

[trail hull]

that is totally not the trumpet quest

[molten loom]

I know one area that could definitely do that

battle frontier

[dense cosmos]

Pacifalog town? Gone!

[dusk narwhal]

The elite 4?

[viscid fossil]

Mirage island

[dusk narwhal]

Sent to the shadow realm lol

[trail hull]

littleroot town? Gone

no pokemon professor

no starter

[velvet root]

We keep those cuz its dumb

[dense cosmos]

Volcano? Gone!

[velvet root]

Man im still sad about Orre and Monkes
It would have been so peak and fitting

[viscid fossil]

we remove the room in the truck you ride in at the start of the game

[trail hull]

spear pillar? Gone? Enjoy the battle between groudon and kyogre

[viscid fossil]

you are left behind when your mom moves

[atomic hornet]

All great ideas

[trail hull]

I have even better idea

remove all of Hoenn

[sacred pagoda]

Oops all Orre

[molten loom]

and replace it with battle tower

[atomic hornet]

Could you imagine playing kanto again?

[trail hull]

Kanto 2 : Electric Boogalo

[sacred pagoda]

I've played PIF1 so much at this point it's muscle memory

[dense cosmos]

Post apocalyptic kanto?

[trail hull]

featuring Dante from the devil may cry seri

and knucles

[molten loom]

looking at anime location of hoenn

[trail hull]

Switch 2 edition

[sacred pagoda]

Zombie Apocalypse Kanto and all the zombies are fusions

[flint tiger]

hypothetically would it even be realistically possible to have a second region with pif Hoenn?

Well

[sacred pagoda]

The correct way to do Shadow Pokemon

[flint tiger]

Kanto and Johto are near each other, right?

[sacred pagoda]

Yes

[flint tiger]

but what region is close to Hoenn?

[molten loom]

a maze where you get stuck encountering a bunch of pokemon

[viscid fossil]

new funky mode

[dense cosmos]

Instead of zubat swarming to battle you, it's trapinch

[molten loom]

or a lost woods type area, everyone loves those

[sacred pagoda]

Idk the layout of Japan so idk what region is closest

[flint tiger]

maybe it’ll be Sinnoh

[atomic hornet]

Johto for a major one. Sinnoh is the complete polar opposite

.

[sacred pagoda]

Imagine if you could import your trainer for a new, connected save in PIF2

[trail hull]

I'm sure there is a boat that could take us to the further away region

[molten loom]

we do have bannanas and slakoth tropius could also be hiding there

[sacred pagoda]

Oh wow

[trail hull]

kitakali erasure smh

[atomic hornet]

Holy shit this image is garbage

[sacred pagoda]

So it really wouldn't make sense to put Sinnoh in there

[trail hull]

so Orre , sicne there is no clear indication of where it is based. Could be closer to hoenn

[sacred pagoda]

Mr Briney takes you to Alola Just to piss everyone off who wants Unova, Kalos or Sinnoh

[viscid fossil]

[trail hull]

well hawaii is closer to japan then new york

[atomic hornet]

Ooh I like this map. Includes a few minor regions too

Still no orre

[molten loom]

honestly some anime locations probably would be better than a whole region that would get a bit ignored

[sacred pagoda]

Orre is based on Arizona, making it the first region to be based on an area outside of Japan.

Pokemon Wiki

[atomic hornet]

Oooh thats neat

[molten loom]

like a place for fossil related quests, maybe they brought a fossil back, fused it and it went rogue

I remember left of Fiore to be Orre on many unofficial maps

[viscid wren]

I literally suggested that today

But no gen 8 so it wouldnt work

[full bison]

That little bit of Johto that goes into Shikoku makes me wonder if Gamefreak ever had plans to make a full region based on that that allowed you to go between it and Johto but decided against doing so

[molten loom]

I fear for how loud exploud will be

[trail hull]

Hear me out , trumpets version of music got added to the main game

What’s stopping us to add the silly cries too

It would be so funny

Especially with fingerprint authentication its super lazy and easy to authenticate

Number 1. I won a match with it only (I did 2 matches total)

Yes

[rancid nymph]

So that’s only a 50% win rate. Raise it to 90% then we’ll see about adding Vikavolt to the game

[velvet root]

Gotta make a good fusion of this

[trail hull]

WhOw hoenn is releasing

[rancid nymph]

*whon

[viscid wren]

I said who, you were suppost to say WHATn

[stray spear]

We always ask "when is hoenn" but never "how is hoenn"

[rancid nymph]

Wheren Hoenn is releasing

[prime dust]

whermst

[viscid fossil]

whomst'd'ven

[velvet root]

Why is Hoenn

[fringe forge]

imma ask a real question
are we getting the PIF hoenn battlepass
featuring john fortnite ? as a trainer model

[prime dust]

do you want us to get nintendoed?

because that's a fast way to get nintendoed

[fringe forge]

i am totally not a nintendo agent sent to destroy a harmless fan project

[viscid fossil]

Hi totally not a nintendo agent sent to destroy a harmless fan project
I'm Juster

[prime dust]

there was an oppotunity...and you failed this city

[inland jewel]

you reminded me that i can add Jonsey fortnite to my Tomodachi life island. thank you

[fringe forge]

[jade elbow]

Im tempted to get switch 2 just for tomodachi life 2 and miitopia

[inland jewel]

both of those game are on the switch 1?

[thick scroll]

huh, I actually thought that tomodachi life would be a switch 2 exclusive too. That's good to know

[full bison]

If you need reason to get a Switch 2, just do what I'm doing and wait for the next Direct

I'll need a good looking Zelda game or Starfox game that isn't 64 Remake Number 50 before I consider it

[molten loom]

Echos of wisdom style or botw style

[full bison]

Either

[molten loom]

or a links crossbow training

[full bison]

Both styles have their place

[atomic hornet]

How about a remake of starfox adventures that would make me fall out of my chair

[inland jewel]

with starfox in the mario movie its a possibility

for me im waiting for the new fire emblem before i get a switch 2

[viscid wren]

Im waiting for that kind of leisure money to get a switch 2

Im a sucker for mario kart, I desperately want mario kart world lol

[full bison]

Fun fact: the Switch 2 is still less expensive than the Kanto starter LEGO set

[inland jewel]

i heard that nintendo might raise the switch 2 price again due to the economy

[full bison]

Yeah the RAM situation is better than it was a bit ago but still really bad. Thanks, AI

The price hikes and Steam Machine delay are starting to get to me

[worthy sleet]

Honestly though, a faithful 2D sprite recreation of Colosseum with the fusion mechanic would be kinda sick

[prime dust]

i wouldn't expect it, far as i know; no one has attempted to make a romhack or fangame for anything pokemon that isn't a mainline game

at best i think i remember hearing about someone starting a mystery dungeon one [can't remember which] but have heard jack all about it since

[sacred pagoda]

Looks at all the mystery dungeon ROMHacks of which there are PLENTY of

[prime dust]

tbf that was years ago

[sacred pagoda]

Here's one that's still being worked on

[prime dust]

and i don't 100% keep up to date with that community

[viscid wren]

PMD has a whole sprite resource thing

[full bison]

Haven't checked on that in a while but I wouldn't be surprised if there were already detailed portraits of Pombon, Gecqua, and Browt by now

[fast mantle]

no ranger hacks for sunny 😔

[undone stirrup]

Pretty much Gen 1-5 and BDSP are only ones that has something worth mention

[sterile spoke]

There are even ROM hacks that essentially bring PMD mechanics to the main series, and these predate actual PMD ROM hacks, as far as I'm aware. 😮

[prime dust]

that explains why i've likely heard practically nothing

[sterile spoke]

I think PMD is in the 'randomiser and move hack' stage, so really rudimentary in comparison to any other DS games. Though Gen IV is really only just coming out of that stage properly, and Gen V I think is still there. 😅

[trail hull]

PMD has some cool rom hack with latest gen mon but currently they are limited by the cartridge itself

[sterile spoke]

New Pokémon? Tell me more. 😮

[trail hull]

Yeah they have mons up to gen 9

There is a site (unsure if I can find it) that also has every mon in the pmd style for people to use. There is also a editor thingy for people to make their own story in

One of the cool one is explorer of heaven (or the explorer of hell version with funny dialogues and swears) has mon up to gen 8. Hisuian Zorua even is a starter

[pale sparrow]

I did play through a pmd team sky rom hack that had a bunch of new moms a few months ago

it even had cool mons lile glimmora and nihilego

[hardy tartan]

can we make suggestions for PIF:Hoenn in #game-suggestions or not?
@civic harness wants a togeplume trainer battle

[civic harness]

[royal dove]

yo is the hoen update stuff out

or

im lost af

is the demo out then or

[magic radish]

How are the testing phases of the demo going? Or are there still some contents to be added?

[prime dust]

suggestions for hoenn go into the hoenn form in the pins

[inland jewel]

from what they have said, more stuff is being added, and then they are bug testing them

[hardy tartan]

@civic harness

[inland jewel]

allegedly soon

[prime dust]

you forgor the ™

[magic radish]

I understand, thank you

[atomic hornet]

That would be a no lol. Go here: https://discord.com/channels/302153478556352513/1332145977741541448

[atomic hornet]

Going great, exept we just added a few more quests, so they need to be tested once they're done we swear no more content after this

[trail hull]

Paya right after the end of the bug test: what if we had one little extra feature, as a treat

the feature breaks the game and need 2 week of debugging

[atomic hornet]

More or less, yep

[prime dust]

https://tenor.com/view/futurama-bender-bender-bending-rodriguez-fry-philip-j-fry-gif-22941842

[trail hull]

Once pifh demo get ready to be interviewed

[atomic hornet]

We changed something, added a whole questline/small feature, and completely changed how a different questline ends in a major way. It needs some custom assets that I've been working on for a few days. It'll be much better than how it was before, and very worth it

and ahead of schedule

[sacred pagoda]

Ooo new quests

[hardy tartan]

@civic harness dis the real one

[earnest timber]

i'm pretty excited for this

[civic harness]

Indeed

[trail harness]

Hey, been out of the loop for a while. Do we have a Hoenn game to play yet?

[proud lion]

For me the Hoenn Numbers are my game release.

[undone stirrup]

Now is it a quest that gives you a single gift Pokemon or a 9 quest long story

[proud lion]

*A 9 Quest Story for a single Basculin

[viscid wren]

Its a 9 quest long catching tutorial

[buoyant fractal]

Besides more Hoenn Pokemon which generations also get it? More Alola? Some from Galar or Paldea?

[sacred pagoda]

In addition to the rest of the Hoenn pokemon we are getting Skrelp, Tynamo, and Woobat + evolutions of all 3

Nothing from Gens 8 or 9 ever

Coding restraints

[proud lion]

The Dexit mons ironically get Dexit’d from the engine

[bold atlas]

Hey, the mons of Galar didn't do anything wrong,

The embargo is the Galarian Commons' fault

[thick scroll]

can't wait for simple swoobat + quiver dance fusion shenennigans

[sacred pagoda]

It's just coding restraints. If Frog wanted to add stuff from gens 8 and 9 more than half the code of both games would need to be redone so

Safe to say it's never happening

[bold atlas]

oh, yeah I know, was making a joke on the 'irony'

[sacred pagoda]

Ahh valid lol

[proud lion]

What if a madman took the challenge of redoing the code onto the newer engine and making it functional?

[sacred pagoda]

[viscid fossil]

How could that be if embargo was removed in galar, huh?

[bold atlas]

That's exactly the thing tho, they took the power away from the people!

Don't you see the conspiracy right in front of you?!

[brisk star]

I have a question

Is this guy from Hoenn?

[bold atlas]

uhh

[brisk star]

I put Hoenn on there but I think he's sinnoh

[bold atlas]

I mean technically he's from like, space, or the ozone layer

[brisk star]

Hmm

[viscid wren]

This is a joke right?

[brisk star]

I have barely played Pokémon.. I just got back into it after like 5 years...

[bold atlas]

well then

[brisk star]

I'm lost in regions tbh

[viscid wren]

He is like the symbol of hoenn

[brisk star]

Ohhh okkk thank you

[bold atlas]

This is Rayquaza, one of the strongest Pokémon in existence (currently), legend of Hoenn and the guy who keeps Groudon and Kyogre in check

[brisk star]

I like groudon 🙂

[bold atlas]

box mascot of Emerald version

[brisk star]

Thank u

I also did charizard and scizor, so... Johto scizor and kanto charizard?

[viscid wren]

Correct

[brisk star]

K

I'm gonna do Steelix tmmrw

Maybe Lucario? He is a pain to draw.

See y'all, imma go see some MHA

[torn crane]

How would pokopia infinite fusion look like?

[prime dust]

2D

would def require custom party sprites being made for fusions

not worth the effort

[rancid nymph]

Basically any spin off PIF game would take a significant amount of work and will never happen

[prime dust]

pinball might be possible, i think that would be the easiest thing to maybe do...and the art already exists so

[hushed axle]

Pokemon Ruby Sapphire pinball is one of the best side games ever

[viscid fossil]

Stoked for pokemon infinite trading card game fusion for the game boy

[atomic hornet]

I loved that game so much, I miss it

[viscid fossil]

yeah I should replay it soon

[wicked phoenix]

Uh, I have a question regarding the region. I know the game is primarily in hoenn and all, but is there a chance that they'll include other regions too like say, Sinnoh or Unova? Just curious.

[viscid wren]

Way too early to know for sure

[wicked phoenix]

ah, I see. Guess I'll find out with time.

[sacred pagoda]

There are no plans to at the moment

(Words from Paya)

They'd also have to find a region that geographically makes sense and neither Sinnoh nor Unova fit that requirement. Sinnoh is based on the opposite side of Japan that Hoenn is based and Unova is based on New York City + surrounding areas

[quaint matrix]

Unless of course

The April Fools isn't actually April Fools and there is a plan for Orre post-game

[sturdy frost]

[sterile spoke]

It's so addictive, I wish they made a version in the DS era with more boards and whatnot. 🙂

[prime dust]

that creates a much more dangerous problem...monkeys

[velvet root]

Why is that a problem?

[prime dust]

hang on let me

MONKEYS

that alone should explain it

[velvet root]

Idk what you mean
The Monkey are great

[wicked heath]

I like the mokeys

[velvet root]

Im real I dislike Grimer or so more than I could ever the Monkeys

They are real fun
Even more as preevos

https://tenor.com/view/jumping-pansear-pansage-panpour-tyler-gif-2713289376955685920

[rancid nymph]

They’re gonna have you pick between the shadow monkeys instead of the shadow Johto starters

[sterile spoke]

We have officially made the decision to replace Kyogre with Panpour, Groudon with Pansear, and Rayquaza with Pansage. No, they will not evolve. Thank you. 🙂

[dense cosmos]

I feel like this wouldn't work.
Pansage can't fly.

[sterile spoke]

Yes it can, it does the Superman thing. 😄

Its tail acts like a cape, and it's only been sucked into plane jets twice. After the second time, it was a lighter colour, so it must have got sun bleached from staying in the sky so long or something. 🙂

[viscid wren]

Theres things called boats and planes lol. Geographical location isnt that big of a factor

[craggy nexus]

honetly good desicion i suport it fully

[sterile spoke]

It's probably easier to add islands to Hoenn (either new or drawing from the anime) than it is to make a new region that'd fit. 😅

Orre, Holon or Fiore would be the only real contenders for separate regions, I'd imagine. 😮

[viscid wren]

I don't remember if they said anything about the battle frontier

That could be neat

Honestly, Hoenn alone is gonna be fantastic

Peak pokemon

Aside from clodsire

Clodsire is the true peak of pokemon

[brisk star]

Y'all remember in Pokémon emerald (if you played) when groudon and kyogre were beefing for the 19272919374728283763816562815th time, you needed to wake up rayquaza to stop them?

[sacred pagoda]

Yeah

[brisk star]

NGL I think rayquaza is the best out the trio

[craggy nexus]

theres nothing said bout it cause thats post game and their working on the first demo i think somewhere up to gym 2 or 3

[brisk star]

Bros been dealing with 2 oversized animals for over 500 years

[sacred pagoda]

He's just sick of their BS

[atomic hornet]

I remember as a kid I had all 3 versions, and one of them I kept in that state cause it was cool
