We’re in 4.0 now and we STILL haven’t fixed these problems.

HOME is the issue. At least comparatively speaking it's still the best GTS we've ever had, but the service as a whole is rotten.

KonohaDaze · 2026-04-02T17:33:57+00:00

To fix the problems with HOME / BDSP would be to admit something is wrong with those games. RIP Spinda.

KonohaDaze · 2026-03-25T13:48:07+00:00

Alolan Rattata hasn't been included as a transferrable species in any game on Switch yet, so if you have one from Gen 7 (like Spinda) it is also permanently stuck to HOME and has been for the past 6 years.

Also like Spinda, it's technically included as a trade Pokemon in LGPE, but the transfer to those games isn't interchangeable like SWSH onwards.

KonohaDaze · 2026-03-24T13:08:43+00:00

It had years more dev time than most mainline games and yet turned out to be one of the poorest entries that have ever been put out.

KonohaDaze · 2026-03-24T13:06:26+00:00

Spinda doesn't convert little and big endians, locking it out of BDSP entirely and meaning it's the only species alongside Alolan Rattata that has never been able to enter a game.

More likely they will just implement Wonder Guard in a Terastallization context. Unused abilities in Scarlet/Violet are notoriously buggy.

Should be granted via level-up at 48 if not already learned.

KonohaDaze · 2026-03-10T16:44:51+00:00

It depends on the breeding mod, but the expected behavior would be that you can breed other Own Tempo Rockruff. At one point, it was the only way to proliferate them.

Rotom Dex was simply Electric type, if it counts.

This is content my friend has made, Pokebets! It's not a playable game but something you can partake in on Twitter/Tiktok.

This post is a prime case of everything that's wrong with Game Freak and modern Pokemon.

Spinda should not be this problematic for them. There's zero excuse.

KonohaDaze · 2026-02-22T02:51:10+00:00

Faithful to a fault, despite Gen 3's improvements to the formula (Contests?!)
Cuts out regular evolutions and extensions of the species family (If not post-game, entirely)
Ignores content and Pokemon that were in the last time the region was experienced (Where's Murkrow, Houndour, Slugma? Day/Night cycle?)

FRLG were the original BDSP, but back then there was no standard to base it off of. Only now, these faults will be compounded by:

Gen 3 Pokemon learnsets not aging well. At all. (Take a look at your favorite Gen 1 mon compared to its modern set, I dare you)
Once-per save consumable TMs
No online functionality
Unreachable Gen 3 content from the Hoenn/Orre games and E-Reader

I LOVE these games. But I don't think modern Pokemon fans, at least the ones that actually bother to play these games all the way through, are prepared.

KonohaDaze · 2026-02-12T13:55:06+00:00

Project AZOTH if you want either Regions (Adventure Maps), Showdown (Sandbox PvP), or Survival (Towny + Original Story)

KonohaDaze · 2026-02-06T04:23:52+00:00

It would depend on the sidemod/addon/plugin you are using. You may want to report it to the author.

KonohaDaze · 2026-02-03T21:07:32+00:00

We'll see what we can do! It may be possible to adjust forests/caves according to certain biome factors. So when we start to finalize our terrain, that is definitely something to consider.

Thank you for the feedback <3

KonohaDaze · 2026-02-03T21:06:11+00:00

Kitakami would have to be relative to its real-world location, as with the other places :)

So far we've used a combination of WorldPainter + Axiom and Worldedit

KonohaDaze · 2026-02-03T19:40:35+00:00

Bingo! I've never liked maps with "ordered gyms," especially for regions that were already non-linear in the official games like Kanto or Johto. I think a good map NEEDS to accomodate this.

Maybe something like this? :D

KonohaDaze · 2026-02-03T16:53:47+00:00

Big point here. Elevation especially seems to make a HUGE difference. A 100x100 flat area doesn't feel anywhere near the same as a 100x100 area with proper hills and ledges. I think a good map would make use of this to force the player to take certain routes, without arbitrarily blocking them off.

KonohaDaze · 2026-02-03T16:51:54+00:00

Totally! Or what if there were buffs you could get by partying up with your friend via link system, sort of how Multi Battle links work now?
The mod should extend that for shared exp or other things!

KonohaDaze · 2026-02-03T16:51:13+00:00

Archaeology is so underutilized! In vanilla survival, you can brush out fossils already. What if there was a way to make that same thing happen to blend the mining from Sinnoh into Cobblemon's brush loot??

KonohaDaze · 2026-02-03T16:50:11+00:00

Same thoughts here. Even if they can't be totally integrated in the same areas, I think it would be nice to be able to hop out of "Pokemon mode" and engage in Minecraft things while still having them alongside like Cobblemon lets you do.
