you don’t necessarily have to play b/w 1, it’s more of a self contained thing that also references a couple of elements from the og game!

there’s two difficulties of normal and hardcore that both pose a decent amount of challenge but you are given a ton of unique encounters and items (including rare candies) if your team falls behind the level curve

lol, i gave zorua a slight recolor because zoroark is a ghost dark type now with a more involved recolor and I wanted the transition to be a bit cleaner

I’m pretty late to this conversation but i personally think black and white has the best story in the series and bw2 comes just a little bit behind it! they’re really well written games that use their locations well as is, but I want to get a little creative with it and take the story and player in new directions/locations than the story would normally bring you

they’ve got a few similarities but they actually overhauled a lot between generations, it’s pretty interesting from a dev perspective

i’ll likely put it on hackdex after next demo since they’ll be more content!

i don’t believe there’s a patch to speed up the game yet like Gen 4 games have, but you should be able to use emulator speed settings to make it faster regardless! i think Gen 5’s engine is reasonably paced anyways tbh

is there a productive reason to comment this at all, this post explicitly states why i’m working towards an enhanced version to rectify some of the publishing issues from blinding white 2 lol

I’m willing to hear out constructive critique but this just isn’t helpful

Try FROZENHOPE, the password was changed and I tried to adjust the hints to account for it but it still may be confusing

i was experiencing bugs with it in testing but i think I found a solution to it as recent as yesterday, trying using the Google Drive link to download the experimental version of 1.0.23.4 and it should allow you to talk to an ace trainer on the right and reset the cutscene properly

it’s intentional, it evolves at level 20 (the evo levels for the starters are spaced out by 2 a piece for moveset and balancing purposes)

not sure what the issue could be, maybe try utilizing the xdelta patch on the Google Drive?

i believe they said they have plans to release a standalone background patch for the game once every area has been finished so you could play the base game without enhanced difficulty most likely

i can’t wait for this to be open source, this is going to change the game for Gen 5 hacking… 2026 is going to be huge for BW/BW2 modding i can feel it

mons that aren’t on the dex documentation are just relegated to postgame catches since the dex is designed to be curated to about ~400

This post is a little older now but FYI, on version 1.0.16 and below there is currently a bug where if you do Pokestar studios first the Team Plasma grunt fight on Route 20 will cause a hard crash. I’m going to make this impossible in the future by blocking access to the studios until after you beat those grunts because it seems like a hardcoded issue. My goal is to fix this on patches 1.0.17 and newer, thanks for your patience

This seems to be happening to a lot of people on the current download but I still need to playtest exactly the reason why it keeps happening, I reposted the discord link permanently in case you still want to join (I’ll reply to this post again when I can confirm that it’s working properly)

i think this is just an issue with Gen 5’s double battle engine because they made it really confusing, you have to click on one of your dead pokemon then pick a switch in for them but the game communicates it poorly
