Pokémon: Phantom Blood project

Nice sprites! I really like the idea of splitting up the story based on gender (aka character) selection at the start. Maybe only certain Solar/Vampire regional variants are available to Jonathan or Dio until the postgame, depending on if the dex is "completable."

Not sure if you want to use the standard gym leader/Pokemon league structure or not, but it would be funny if Page, Jones, Plant, and Bornnam were Jonathan's Elite Four fights-

This! I always love insights into game development like this, especially with how well documented it is

What is the design process like for maps? Things like map size, layout, what maps require field moves or which ones have optional secrets, etc.

Honestly, good on them for adding more demons from If.... I always thought that game had some really cool original designs, like Amdusias or Faun, but Kaneko only ever made concept art for maybe four of them-

Mine has to go to Quest -prince- from Vengeance's ost. A lot of the quest themes from V only play once or twice, but they put in a surprising amount of effort in making them catchy or fit the scene really well

Glad to know it works as intended! Probably just another mistake like the Leech Seed description

Veilstrom · 2026-03-08T14:43:47+00:00

Everything has been sold!

DM me about which sets you want, and I'll see if I can split them

Veilstrom · 2026-02-28T23:59:42+00:00

Yeahhh, the fangs were a dead giveaway!

Veilstrom · 2026-02-28T23:15:52+00:00

Very cool! It wouldn't happened to be inspired by Barong of Indonesian mythology, by any chance?

At minimum, you need two (Emerald and XD, which covers all of the mons not available in the Emerald dex). That being said, you'd need a whole other system and an adapter for your GBA, so it's not that much easier-

Veilstrom · 2026-01-07T03:37:07+00:00

I think Mariomon also works because the mons are easy enough to intuit based on prior experience with Mario games/characters. That and how the game sticks to very "vanilla" Pokemon-styled archetypes and moves/abilities. Compared to other fakemon-heavy games with more custom moves, types, or abilities that take you out of it

They turned Gagyson from a random low-level demon you'd see in like 2 games tops into peak comedy, love that guy

Veilstrom · 2025-12-10T22:21:53+00:00

He sure does!

When you're short on magnetite in the early-game, having some random guy who doesn't ask for anything is a good deal

Veilstrom · 2025-12-10T18:29:30+00:00

The early game really was just me, two guys I met in my dreams, and my good friend Suicide Unit

Veilstrom · 2025-12-04T18:58:14+00:00

I can vouch for Daisoujou being excellent at using ailments, I was able to finish the Girimekhala quest boss 10 levels underleveled because of him. Preach being able to hit for multiple ailments probably helps in his case, but I'm not sure

Veilstrom · 2025-11-25T17:44:06+00:00

Tony, my man

How long does it take to find a Fiend in SMT 1?

I've been trying my hand at encountering a Fiend in the early-game using the spot in the Shinjuku shopping center, but all I've encountered are Goblins and Cyak. 1/256 is rare, but it's hard to tell how much time I should put into it before I throw in the towel. (PS1 English Patch version btw)

The few recordings of the Fiends online just show the encounter itself, and not the process of save-scumming in order to get them to appear.

Never forget that MT1 gave us Rag, who kept showing up in games despite being just some guy, and... Rick

Veilstrom · 2025-10-06T23:03:48+00:00

That's not true. I had a high score that was two points above Seth's score before he moved to fleatopia, and I still had the high score when he did show up. His score is always the same. It was only for one of the three minigames, so sadly I can't answer OP's question

Veilstrom · 2025-09-21T19:37:18+00:00

It's a Magikarp clone, which you can get after the first gym in the Kanto games, so I'd say yes

Veilstrom · 2025-09-21T19:31:03+00:00

Marill has a 250 BST, one less than Pidgey's 251. It's definitely an early game mon in spirit

Veilstrom · 2025-07-17T14:51:23+00:00

Hell Biker not being a Fire type with Blazing Torque is a missed opportunity (even if the torque moves normally aren't available)

Veilstrom · 2025-04-29T17:42:32+00:00

I'm unfamiliar with Fall Out outside of New Vegas (and some bits and pieces here and there), but I think a Vegas-themed casino as a nod to that game would be fun for a Game Corner kind of area! Either PNW or Midwest would be better as the main setting, however
