Released Pokemon This Gym of Mine

This project has a release available. The full version is still a work in progress.
Project Status
Work in Progress
Project Version
4.2.3
NOTICE:
I am aware of a ROM hack version of this game is circulating around. This is NOT that. This version requires no emulator to play and is exclusively for PC. To play, just download the ZIP file from one of the links below. Extract the file and run the game file. I have no affiliation with any of the ROM hack versions of this game.

As for the information relating to v5.0.0, I have run into a major snag in development. To recap, I have been attempting to update this game to Pokemon Essentials v20.1. I knew this would be a bit risky, as Pokemon This Gym of Mine runs on Pokemon Essentials v18.1. And, lo and behold, I ran into an issue. When attempting to load my save, it threw an error after compiling and proceeded to delete my save file... I attempted to run the 20.1 version as a brand new game and it did not throw an error, meaning the issue comes when it tries to load the save.

I know I said that if previous saves were incompatible that I would continue on with version 18.1. However, there are still a number of reasons that I want to update to v20.1 Essentials. So, I decided to ask you guys how I should proceed. At the end of the day, you guys will have to play the game and wait for the update. As such, I want to hear your thoughts. How I see it, there are three ways I can go forward:

1. I can stay with v18.1.
This will require no additional dev time, but glitches such as the weather glitches and level-up glitches will, likely, be permanent issues in the game. In addition, I will lose out on the updated encounter capabilities of v20.1, meaning that any new Pokemon will be limited to newly added areas, and the new Pokemon I add will be limited. In addition, this may cause some Pokemon to be unnecessarily rare, as I cannot directly alter encounter rates in-document.

2. I commit to updating to v20.1, keeping up an updated version of PTGOM 4.0 as a legacy version.
This will require more dev time, but this will deal with glitches such as the weather glitch and the level-up glitch. In addition, this will allow for more robust encounters, potentially balancing out types such as Bug and Steel, which have been reported to be a bit underpowered. Also, I can look into allowing for multiple save files, as doing multiple playthroughs is quite popular in the community so this will make that easier. However, this does mean that this version will NOT be compatible with old save files.

3. I use this as an opportunity to completely overhaul Pokemon This Gym of Mine.
Let's face facts. This game was made 3 years ago, in a rush, and by an amateur game dev. There are a lot of things I had to bandage over just to make the game playable. Even with all the updates, there are still plenty of holes, such as the crazy amount of revenue buildings can generate, the point of reputation and reputation growth not being made clear, some dialogue needing a bit of refinement, and the fact that half of the game's ranks go by over the span of a minute. I could treat this as a chance to truly refine this game. Rebalancing encounters and buildings, giving a reason for ranks 5-7 to exist, amongst other things. In addition, I could look into plugins and resources, such as multiple save files, that could only be added to v20.1. Personally, this would be the route I like to go, but it would add quite a bit of dev time and would not be compatible with old save files. Just like with option 2, the old version of PTGOM will be kept up as a legacy version.

These are the three routes I feel I can go. No matter what, version 5.0.0 content will be included with the update and version 6.0.0 will come some time after. I want to see what you all think, and I am eager to hear your thoughts.

Notes:
It's random chance that goes into deciding who you face at the Gym. I've done everything I could think of to keep it interesting and avoid repetition, but it may happen once in a while, especially early on. Also, some early-game Trainers get stronger if you leave them be. You can only fight each Trainer once, so make it count!
Finally, there is no barrier between areas. You can access areas containing Pokemon five times your strength straight out the gate!
Have fun you guys!

Dustox is not usable in the Poison gym (idk why). Should I do something in particular? or maybe it's related to his preevolution not being poison type?

Does anyone know where you can find Shellos? I’d love to have a Gastrodon for my ground team, but I don’t see it listed in any of the location guides (same goes for Silicobra)

Saludos y me disculparán por lo que voy a decir, pero me tomé mi tiempo y la libertad en hacerle unos cambios al juego, para sacar una actualización para v4.2.3 como v4.2.3a. Es un comprimido con una descripción, en ella se revelan los cambios que le hice. Como es actualización, se debe extraer sobre el juego existente. Espero que sin violar nada sea util. NO ES PIRATA, es original mío y espero que sirva de ayuda.

Descargar

Y repito, mas informacion de los cambios en el comentario del comprimido.

Hello first off I want to say this game is awesome I have chosen the long haul Dieno route for a dragon gym unfortunately I have come up to a thing where I played it and then the next time I played it afterwards I got a salvo of error messages and it said that my safe file is corrupted or not compatible with the game please help because I just finally got a team of 6 and some of them were extremely hard to find

So, I ran into a bug. I already talked to the mayor and the game keeps saying I have to talk to the mayor, but I already did that... And it's not letting me proceed with the game... ;w;
You need to check your mailbox for the applications that the mayor told you about

Regarding your post about 5.0, I think you should go with option 3. Overhaul the whole thing

Regarding the note about update 5.0.0, I haven't started the game yet so I don't know much about the situation inside the game, but since you are asking the community about it, I believe you should go with option 3. If you see room for improvent and you'll feel satisfied once that improvement is achieved, then you should go for it.

How do I evolve my Scyther into Scizor? I equipped it with the Metal Coat and leveled up 1 but it didn't evolve.

the idea of the game is wonderful, and I still haven't found any errors that would stop me from continuing to play. only thing I didn't like are the fakemon. I would like an option where they only have official pokemon.
