2022 Update FAQ:
What's new?
- Well, the big thing is that there's a postgame now. There's uh...not a lot I could do with it, admittedly, since the game's world is kind of destroyed by the end of the main game. I did my best to create new content without having to make a ton of new areas.
- There's a properly organised Pokédex now. Speaking of, there's like, 8 new Pokémon lines. They're all really cool, Mak did great on their designs. There's also a couple of new evolutions of existing mons.
- The dex is now a grand total of 124 Pokémon. You can see more info about them by copying the link to the spreadsheet in the "_Credits" file of the main folder.
- A lot of sprites have been redone, such as Pistoff, Pillost, Eggception, Spectreon and many more have either received touch ups or full resprites.
- The same applies to backsprites, a lot of work went into them to make them all consistent.

Can I use my old save?
- Due to all the changes made, not only by the engine but by my optimisations, old save files would probably break somewhere, so it isn't recommended.
- It's also a 5 year old game, so playing through and refreshing your memory could be cool...

Is the game harder?
- I've tried my best to rebalance the game to make the experience as smooth as possible, and will continue trying to do so unless the general opinion tells me otherwise.
- I've rebalanced a lot of Edgemon stats and movesets, so the experience may not be exactly what it was 5 years ago.
- Early game has and probably been the hardest to balance. There's not really enough time to give players specific counters early on, but you can probably brute force it a lot with Mankey and Gorelett? If you didn't start with Riolu anyway.
- I haven't tested specific team comps so it's all a little subjective, but I look forward to hearing feedback!

Is there any new features?

- Well, there's no haunted mansion DLC, but there is a battle tower-esque building in its place I've dubbed the Belltower. Test your wits against tough opponents for a chance to win fabulous prizes! (Postgame only)
- A couple of new moves exist, like a Fury Swipes clone that's flying type, or a signature move that fires a button. I hope you'll try out all sorts of team members in the Belltower to see what's new!
- Speaking of trying out team members, there's a gauntlet at the end of the game, for those daring enough to try. Once postgame is complete, take a trip to the Blood Lake...

Where is (x)?
- Move Relearner is in Blackheart City Game Corner (regardless of time period).
- Silvally discs are also sold in the Game Corner.
- Stone vendors are in Eerie City in postgame.
- Once postgame is complete, you can get Rare Candies infinitely at the Belltower.

I am kinda excited about this one, the style looks nice, it has Fakémon that I've already found Interesting based on screenshots, and I really am excited for the story. It's just... Polished looking...
Anyways I applaud to this work and will definitely try to play it when possible.
 
Amidst a hilarious set of jokes (if the intro didn't have you in stitches, I don't know what will), Edge Rising has a surprisingly interesting plot and some great fakemon to accompany you! (and with an Exp Share and Unlucky Egg, you can use them to their full potential!) It was fun to playtest, and I know the final release will be even more so!

Thanks to @Rhyden's help, we managed to fix a major bug that somehow slipped past us in development.
...The bug was actually present during initial playtesting, but we didn't know what caused it or how to replicate it. But it's fine now

I updated the download link accordingly. Updating it strongly recommended.

For those that already have the game installed, I have the download for the map fix separate, if you want.

EDIT: Added another bugfix because lord how did these get past us?

This game was definitely... an experience. For a game that mocks stereotypes about edgelords, the story was pretty deep and engaging. Visually, everything came together really well and I'm genuinely surprised with how much of a game there actually is to play. It's a lot better than other things I've seen people put years of work into and you guys deserve some serious props. I'd highly recommend this game to anyone (at least anyone who can tolerate the profanity and setting of course) just because of how fun and interesting it is.

I think I got the same problem quentix does.

When you fight Red, instead of transitioning to a battle after he says, "Go, Pikachu!," it goes to the message that is supposed to play after a player is defeated, I suspect: "As was expected. Now to throw away the garbage." I think this might be because I saved during Red's flashback, so on the savefile, it shows me having no pokemon, and thus I get an automatic game over.

Well, that's strange - you aren't even supposed to be able to save during the flashback. Thanks for letting me know. I'll forward this to Mak as soon as I can.

I fixed the bug (alongside a few other minor bugs) and updated the link.

Anyone that saved before the end should hopefully still be able to continue, as I added a conditional branch that re-adds the entire party if they're missing.

Unfortunately, I made quite a few changes to quite a few different maps, so it would be a little counterproductive to upload all of them. Anyone who's previous installed the game should download the new version. Save data will be maintained, luckily.
