  3. Looking up Iris stuff, you can always count on Bulbapedia for some really obscure trivia.
    “Iris is the only Champion to not use any Pokémon that evolve from ones that take 21 egg cycles to hatch, with the lowest being 31 (for Druddigon and Archeops).”

    • I’m so interested to play this when you’re done. Your maps look really professional, and this is no exception.

      Also, how long have you worked on this project? I feel like I remember you posting about it from the ORAS days, but I might be wrong. Either way, you’ve gone a lot further than most fan games.

      • The one you’re probably thinking of was Jade Jungle — the only other one I’ve worked on here.
        This particular project was started maybe in December 2016? I technically made the region map two years before that, but never imagined making it into a game.
        And thank you for the kind words! I put a lot of effort into every map. This one was particularly challenging in trying to figure out a good layout.
        I’m not sure when this will all be finished though. I’m not even halfway done with the mapping. And of the story, I’ve only implemented the introduction. So I’ve got a long way to go 🙁

    • I like the name Elos. It’s “sole” backwards, indicating it’s secluded. I’m sure that’s what you were going for 😛

  12. So I got Mario Karted on the 2nd lap of Grumble Volcano. Tried to avoid a banana, but couldn’t, spun out into the lava, Lakitu recovers me, I get hit by a red and then bumped into the lava again, Lakitu recovers me again, and I get struck by lightning. Yet at the very end I managed to just eek out a 1st place win. Welcome to Mario Kart.

  13. Sizzlica
    Smelting Pkm
    Ground/Fire
    Glass Cannon (All attacks do 100% more damage but takes 50% damage from incoming attacks)
    Sizzlica resembles a funneled volcano made out of a sandy white mineral, flaming eyes and toothy jaw, it has a thin crystalline encasing covering most of its body except for its tube shaped arms and peg like feet which act as flame ports it can expel excess fire and waste materials
    “Sizzilica eat and cook minerals inside their body and let it harden around itself like a shell but since of the shell’s fragility it aggressively spits raw materials to keep it’s shell safe”

  15. Bah I’m so close to making a full living dex and had to put Froakie, Fennekin, and Delphox in the bank to complete gen 6. Unfortunately I think my 3ds has a problem catching my internet signal and errored out. So now I gotta wait before I can get back on. So dumb….Oh well. I suppose I can use this time get my duck in a row for gen 7. Then I can transfer up everything I got. I say living dex, but it’s really a living dex minus the Pokemon I have from my main teams. collectively it’s a living dex I suppose lol

        • not a fan of the animation. i also dont get the appeal of adult cartoons. Im not a child so im more than capable of watching but like i never understood why people try to make shows for adult audiences. spongebob was originally going to be a show for adults, ren and stimpy was made into an adult cartoon, and now that regular show creator is making one

          • The animation is good, it’s the art style you don’t like which I understand.

            But animation isn’t for children. It’s popular like that in America but it isn’t. It’s an art form just like anything other art form. You can do so much more in a cartoon than a live action show

          • no i understand it. but a lot of cartoons now a days are for children specifically. If you look at older cartoons like tom and jerry and looney tunes those arent for children altho i grew up watching them. I get that animation itself isnt for children specifically but its not often that there are adult specific ones. Rick and Morty just doesnt appeal to me

    • Oh, that reminds me. I binge-watched Rick and Morty over the past two weeks. I might not watch tonight, but I definitely love the show so far.

  17. CND and RogersBase were flown to San Francisco to demo some undisclosed, unreleased Nintendo game. Anyone have any guesses as to what it could be? And could it possibly be revealed in a Direct this week?
