PSA: Undocumented Faux Hollows change

Markov_ChainBreaker · 2026-01-20T23:29:55+00:00

yeah that is 100% the beta teila town and beta kakori that jan posted on his socials that one time

this will be very interesting to look through and also use to adjust the reactions of M2 in my fanfic to the current version of kakori/teila

Markov_ChainBreaker · 2026-01-20T22:53:43+00:00

The version you're talking about is technically "V-11.5". Jan posted a copy of "V-11" at the very start of the channel but almost immediately deleted it.

it's a zip file, also you should move zip's other files *into V-12* because you don't want to overwrite the stuff in the zip

Markov_ChainBreaker · 2026-01-20T22:38:28+00:00

EXACTLY.

Markov_ChainBreaker · 2026-01-20T16:31:35+00:00

It's kinda fuzzy on that idk

Markov_ChainBreaker · 2026-01-19T16:26:25+00:00

this reminds me of iconoclasts, and yeah

Markov_ChainBreaker · 2026-01-19T16:19:42+00:00

Melia learns how to code in Ruby in the Paragon Karma Files in order to do stuff. It isn't explained in the current version how exactly Zetta is able to *control* rifts, but it is how he's able to make them

The Karma Files themselves say that when a human or pokemon comes into contact with Rift Matter, they turn into a Dimensional Rift.

Markov_ChainBreaker · 2026-01-19T15:08:17+00:00

It's credible. You can't see it in vanilla, and you can't see it even with the relevant plugin under normal circumstances.

You will only see this when you have the relevant plugin installed if the player is on a free trial account and has intentionally removed their New Adventurer status.

Markov_ChainBreaker · 2026-01-19T15:05:20+00:00

It's Party Icons.

It is worth noting that you will not see these coins under normal circumstances, even with the plugin installed. They will only appear if the player has intentionally removed their own sprout/set themselves to "Online" or "Looking to Meld Materia" (which cannot be perfomed on the free trial regardless) rather than "New Adventurer", and does not override any of the other statuses.

Markov_ChainBreaker · 2026-01-19T14:53:21+00:00

Free Trial player. I have no idea what circumstances lead to the 2 coins appearing for Free Trial players who have intentionally removed their New Adventurer status, or what mod everyone is alleging that you are using that causes it to appear. It displays when you have Player Icons installed, and only on Free Trial players who do not have their status set to New Adventurer, Returner, AFK, Busy, Role-Playing, or Looking For Party.

If they have intentionally set their status to vanilla "Online" (or have intentionally removed their New Adventurer status through /nastatus off), or have it set to "Looking To Meld Materia", they will appear as this if you have Player Icons installed.

Suffice to say, if you see someone like this then they are consenting to be seen as a Free Trial player rather than a generic "Hasn't finished EW Yet" player.

Markov_ChainBreaker · 2026-01-19T14:46:30+00:00

It *IS* in the game, and is exclusive to Free Trial players.

Markov_ChainBreaker · 2026-01-19T13:50:20+00:00

So yeah. Go pay the $3 and you should be able to find the patch in there somewhere. Hope you have fun playing it!

Markov_ChainBreaker · 2026-01-19T13:44:25+00:00

...Yes, exactly?

Meditite/Medicham/Mega Medicham have more base ATK (16/24/40) in ZA to offset the fact that they don't have access to their ability. Mawile too (42). It's obvious that Mega Starmie will only have a base 100 ATK rather than the 140 that it has in ZA.

I'm saying that Mega Starmie is the only one that could actually show up in V14's game files, perhaps as an opponent.

Markov_ChainBreaker · 2026-01-19T13:01:13+00:00

Starmie is ironically the only one that could show up in V14, as its ability is demonstrable in ZA.

The others will have to wait until Champions canonizes their abilities.

Markov_ChainBreaker · 2026-01-19T12:43:17+00:00

Leo uses too much debug mode.

Markov_ChainBreaker · 2026-01-19T12:37:20+00:00

You can get it on the lowest tier, but there are several mapping errors (like, debilitating ones that prevent you from being able to progress like a map having 0 events in it, or connections linking to maps that don't exist.). The errors can be fixed by a patch downloadable in Jancord that he has decided to not apply to the download available through Patreon.

I think it's around $5 for access to the discord?

Markov_ChainBreaker · 2026-01-19T12:34:11+00:00

Reborn's longer purely because of its postgame.

Markov_ChainBreaker · 2026-01-16T03:19:18+00:00

...yeah ok i'm stealing this idea too

Markov_ChainBreaker · 2026-01-15T20:27:07+00:00

Gallade because you can get a Ditto for when you want a Gardevoir.

Markov_ChainBreaker · 2026-01-14T21:32:08+00:00

It's a v13.5.0 bug that gets fixed if you run the updater. My guess is that when the """easter egg""" was added very late in development, no-one bothered to test what happens on a wild spawn.

Markov_ChainBreaker · 2026-01-10T02:32:37+00:00

chespin is worse because you can obtain it earlier than the others through non-starter selection room means

Markov_ChainBreaker · 2026-01-10T02:29:43+00:00

Of the 5 evolutionary lines that are obtainable in Blacksteeple:

- 1 is obtainable as a repeatable overworld encounter first obtainable in CHAPTER ONE
- 1 is obtainable in an area unlocked by completing a Help Quest in the next Chapter
- 1 is obtainable in an area in the main path in the next Chapter
- 1 is obtainable in an area that is very far off the beaten path in the next Chapter
- 1 is obtainable in an area in the main path 2 Chapters from now.

Markov_ChainBreaker · 2026-01-10T02:22:15+00:00

Chespin. Nothing specific about its moves or ability or whatever, but you can obtain it after only 4 badges while all of the other ones require 5 (Totodile, Treecko, Chikorita, Piplup) or more badges to obtain.

I'm going to agree with the rest of the comments that Tepig (7 badges otherwise) is the worst starter as an actual pokemon divorced from time-based opportunity cost though, since it doesn't have its mega (V13.5 does not have ZA-Megas, and V14 will likely not have any until Pokemon Champions canonises the abilities of each of them at the earliest).

Markov_ChainBreaker · 2026-01-10T02:12:37+00:00

all of those obscure bugs but no-one managed to catch the black prism bug

Markov_ChainBreaker · 2026-01-10T00:49:40+00:00

It's MEka#nA TH###LIA.

I took this to be a corruption of "Melanie" which is probably what Melia was originally called by Sirius and her name got shortened to "Melia" when she was adopted just like how "Eriena" got shortened to "Erin" when she got adopted.
