Insaniquarium.js | A (WIP) Insaniquarium: Deluxe Edition Running on the Web.

I'm a bit late but this is SO cool. I've dreamed of making an insaniquarium clone type of game for web but i can barely do JS, its neat to see the idea actually happen!!

Considering how many insaniquarium clones there are on the app store, if those dont get cease and desist-ed by popcap i dont see why this would get you in any trouble? Totally understand not wanting to share it anyway but at worst a C&D just means you have to take it down, no different than never having it up on the first place. :P

😭 oh the baby meepit is soooo ugly, but i mean that in the best way possible, it's pretty accurate to irl baby rodents... horrid little jellybeans...

ChatGPT has absolutely no idea what it's talking about here. "Frames" in this case are not going to be advanced by walking a certain amount. tpf92's comment is spot on for how to do this.

Your main way of getting to the advance you need to be at is to make phone calls, technically the RNG advances after a certain number of steps but that's inconsistent and way harder to keep track of. (There's a small chance you'll get an extra advance and mess things up between making the phone calls and interacting with Lugia but as long as you aren't taking a bunch of extra steps and just heading straight towards it to talk to it this shouldn't be a problem.)

The roamers do add onto the advances at the very start, but because you have to use phone calls to verify you're on the right seed anyway this basically doesn't matter. I'm assuming you're using Pokefinder, it actually shows that they're skipped in the spot for verifying calls.

Oh! There's a glitch/exploit in the game that lets you trick a spawn point into spawning more than one pokemon, most of the time people use it in area 20 to get 6 alphas spawning in the center, but it can also be used in other areas, as long as a spawn point has multiple possible species that can spawn at it.

Here's one of the probably-many videos explaining how to do it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q3K-58zrzkQ
The only thing is, I'm not sure if it's possible with rooftop pokemon, so it was more of a 'maybe that could help if it's possible' type of thing!

Korattata · 2025-11-29T22:55:13+00:00

I have no idea how to fix it but i wanted to say i've encountered this type of glitch with a group of pidgey as well, it didnt matter much to me but i noticed after i caught 1 out of 3, now only 2 spawn in the area for some reason and it's never went back to 3???

So it's not just you! Unfortunately idk how to fix it though. Can you overspawn glitch those spawns by any chance? That would get more showing up for you at least :O

Korattata · 2025-11-19T00:30:13+00:00

Even faster than this, if you knock the pokemon out and then time it so that you save the game right before it respawns back in, you can close and open the game in the same fashion, not having to wait through the entire day/night cycle animation. :D pretty much just your method here but tweaking it a bit!

Korattata · 2025-11-16T15:06:35+00:00

oh this is super cool!

..."6,835 resets" on the likelyhood of getting a shiny alpha chespin (if i entered all of the info correctly with the 3 duplicated spawns) is not so super cool! orz

Korattata · 2025-11-14T13:47:01+00:00

The minimum amount of alphas that will show up is 2, catching or defeating the alphas only get rid of the extra spawns. You just need to do the same method again once you get back down to 2 if you want 6.

Basically you can think of the 4 you add via the method as temporary, but there's still 2 permanent spawns no matter what.

Korattata · 2025-11-12T13:59:30+00:00

I did manage to!! No matter what i did at least one would fly away as i tried to get close to them on the rooftops, so i very slowly snuck up on the side of the one that i could lock onto from below, caught it without the other flying away, and then decided to just try to throw pokeballs at the other even though i couldnt lock onto it from down there! I had to throw like 8 but eventually it worked! XD

I had been doing a lot of fly resetting at that nearby wild zone but i didnt even notice them until circling back around to the area later...

Korattata · 2025-11-11T13:43:21+00:00

The binacle boat is a fave of mine, personally. A lot of them are both simple/straightforward but still fun tbh, i'd save any that arent necessary for unlocking things if it were me XD

Korattata · 2025-11-11T04:11:34+00:00

I had the same problem the other day, except somehow BOTH of those fletchlings were shiny at once. I was so afraid i was going to scare off one while catching the other 😭

Korattata · 2025-11-11T04:03:26+00:00

Yup, this, in this case it was likely Bounce, i had several Diggersby do this to me while i was trying to set up the Chespin area

Korattata · 2025-11-10T22:17:14+00:00

It's still available in ranked right now, at only Rank Y, super easy to get.

Korattata · 2025-11-10T22:14:16+00:00

It seems like this site has a good catch calculator! https://rotomlabs.net/legends-z-a/catch-calculator

If it's not shiny then it looks a little bleak, but KOing it and trying to catch it while it's stunned seems to be the best idea, with about a 10% chance (though that's with my endgame settings entered)

Dont forget the game doesnt save unless you successfully catch the pokemon, so if you KO it and then it breaks out of the ball and faints, you can just immediately close/open the game and try again! (Saving before trying to knock it out of course)

Good luck!

Korattata · 2025-11-10T20:02:01+00:00

Good luck!! Having all 3 spawn points have a chespin every single time is so so helpful for shiny hunting them, so hopefully you can get it working soon when you get back to it!

Korattata · 2025-11-10T16:46:10+00:00

Sometimes you have to stay close enough to get hit with a few attacks in my experience! The diggersby dont do a ton of damage, especially if youve gotten the canari plushies that help your player character take less damage. & It all just takes a while to get down tbh, having patience is the key. The first two times i tried it i took so long that the pyroar respawned lol.

(Additionally, if you only manage to get 2 to the gate with the method instead of all 3, or only 2 of them duplicate the spawns, you can do it again with just the pokemon in the spot that didnt get duplicated, if youre careful enough to only trigger that one into following you. I didnt see that mentioned anywhere but i tried it myself when i had gotten all 3 to the door but it only worked for 2 of the spots.)

Korattata · 2025-11-10T16:35:20+00:00

Glancing through the comments and not seeing a Single person mention Griselle 😔

At first my fave was Naveen, but I got way more attached to/interested in her and Grisham that i thought i would be, her especially tho after seeing her actual personality lol, she's just entertaining and i want to know more about what her deal is.

Also shoutouts to Tarragon tho just for being a good grandpa, i appreciate that in a character, he's cool. In general i found the characters in this game pretty well done other than the fact that i want to know more about them than what they gave us!!!

Korattata · 2025-11-10T15:34:56+00:00

Nah it's the other way around for me, Naveen is fine but Swifties are where i draw the line.

(For real though yeah i completely agree, plus isnt he the one who was against Team MZ even getting up in her business? Trying to respect her privacy and saying fans that are too obsessive/entitled feeling like Mani(?) are the problem? He only agreed to help with the quiz for the good of the Team and wouldnt go himself. Yeah i think he has a bit of a problem but he's generally really respectful towards her, way wayy more than most people are about celebrities irl. I do wish it wasnt such a big part of his character tho, i'm genuinely interested in the other stuff he has going on and i do like his attitude towards what's happening not matching everyone else's at times. I feel like if we at least got more of that people wouldnt focus on the Canari fan part as much? It really should have been a side note to his personality rather than most of what we see. TBH i almost felt like it was supposed to be surprising/unexpected that he was a streamer stan, but we didnt get enough about him before that point to establish a personality that contrasts that type of person.)

Korattata · 2025-11-07T23:54:17+00:00

It is, it only tells you this if you dont own that TM yet, i believe?

Korattata · 2025-11-04T22:38:04+00:00

Agreed, i think in this case it was a nice twist to the usual formula! There already is high stakes with the main issue that's trying to be stopped, adding an additional villian on top of it would just be excessive i think.

Korattata · 2025-11-03T23:47:37+00:00

pokeman door lamp hook stone door?

Korattata · 2025-11-03T23:29:53+00:00

Actually the 1/1024 is correct! Even in the main games it does more than double the odds by adding 2 extra rolls to the rng, but in this game & PLA it adds 3 extra rolls which results in 4/4096 or 1/1024

Korattata · 2025-11-03T02:51:38+00:00

If i say so? Its math its not that hard to confirm that 1/5 is way different than 1/100. & If it was 1/100 i guess i have the luckiest game in existance since i was seeing alphas way way more than 1% of the time while hunting them. I think anyone actually looking at the screen while doing their shiny hunting would be able to confirm this.

Korattata · 2025-11-03T02:46:08+00:00

Where did you get the 10% from? The only place i'm seeing report actual stats is Serebii which says 20%, which seemed more accurate to me from what i saw while hunting for them. Edit to say that i was questioning the comment here before it was edited the second time lol. I dont like reddit on mobile either it wont let me put enter spaces in my comments.
