Sburbmon v3 - Current Patch: 0.6.0.0

Any planned date for the next major update? or will it just come out whenever it's done?

Hey heroguy, long time no see! Yeah, I caught that bug recently. Will be fixed next patch.

And yeah sirpokesprite, I'm afraid it's kind of a when it's done kinda thing. The Derse tileset is definitely what's going to take the most time, because that place is pretty big and I want it to look good. I've done some work on getting a good palette for LOTAK and LOMAX, at least. I'm still messing with layouts and such, but I think the colour is alright.

Actually, now that I think about it, does anyone have any ideas for Route 12? It's south of LOTAK and east of LOHAC, so I dunno if that factors into anything.

Finally, a couple more cleaned sprites.

If it isn't already decided on, would it be possible to move the fossil revival to a little earlier in the game? If it breaks the theme I understand, but I hate how late in the game fossil revival is in Kanto. You can't really use them on a team, especially with how weak they are when you get them.

Does Route 12 need to be changed to something special at all? We have a ton of routes that have just stayed as generic "routes" that have worked fine.

Update: Derse things are happening.

Thoughts? Anything I should change about the map?

Hi everyone, checking in. Progress is going well; all the mapping and music needed has been completed, so now we're down to the nitty-gritty stuff.

I'm going to be away camping for the next 10 days, so there will be no updates on my part until I'm back. However, I've got a good list of discussion and to-dos; theoretically once everything on this list is taken care of, I'll be able to release the next patch.

Edit: Updates as of Oct 19: All assets done! Just need to do some final polish and the patch will be ready.

Eevee
So an Eevee is typically given away in Celadon, which is Derse now. What mon do we want to give away? It doesn't have to specifically be an Eevee-like mon; it could probably be anything, really. Just so long as it's somewhat unique.

Will be Baby Bec.

Mr Fuji
What to do with this guy. It was suggested on the Discord to use Spades Slick, exploiting the loophole that we have tons of Jacks, yet Spades isn't technically a mon.

Will be Spades Slick.

Casino prizes
There's 5 mon prizes that will be given out at the casino. 3/5 of them will be the starters; Baby John, Baby Jane, and Grub Karkat. This makes them a little harder to obtain, but still makes collecting them and all their alt-evolutions possible. This leaves two more slots to fill. Anybody have ideas? Additionally, what amount of coins should they be priced at, keeping in mind that 500 coins = $10 000. 5500 like Scyther?

Baby John - 5500
Baby Jane - 5500
GrubKarkat - 5500
Jack Noir - 6500
BabyCherub - 9999

Trades
I suggested some trade options in my last patch post, and didn't see any objections. Or comments at all, really. Therefore, to reiterate, would everyone be alright with these trades:

Route 2
Salamander -> Con Air Bunny ✓

LOLAR
Turtle -> Mutini ✓

Route 5
Tavros -> Horsaponi ✓

Route 11
Undecided. Rt. 11 is east of LOHAC, if that makes any difference.

Dave -> Maplehoof

Route 7 Wilds
The only real new route this patch. Since it's between Prospit and Derse, I was going to put Sollux and Mituna there, but anything else is up in the air. Suggestions? The route % would look like this, so far:

20% - GrubSollux
20% - GrubMituna
10% - Shale Imp
10% - Chalk Imp
10% - Amber Imp
10% - Nepeta
5% - Kanaya
5% - Kanaya
4% - Chalk Imp
4% - Amber Imp
1% - Shale Imp
1% - WV

Dino Stuff

Right now T-Rex and Utahraptor are running off placeholder movesets, and Dromiceiomimus doesn't even have a moveset. That should probably be rectified, given that Ryan will have Dromiceiomimus when you fight him in LOTAK. Additionally, I don't believe she ever had an ability solidly decided? I think Rain Dish was suggested, but opinions regarding that are welcome. 

The Black Market

The Derse Black Market/Celdaon Dept. Store opens up a small wormhole in the form of evolution stones being available. This means we have two options regarding this:

- Option one is power through it and finish -all- the assets needed for stone evolutions for currently available mons.
- Option two is to close off that floor in patch 0.4.0.0, and then work on them and release a 0.4.5.0 before working on 0.5.0.0/LOFAF patch.

It's about 22 mons that need something done, to put that in perspective. Let me know which you think is more feasible.

Will close off the floor until 0.4.5.0.

Phew, that's a lot of stuff. I think that's everything, at least. Have a gif as thanks for getting this far.

It would make sense to put some Sburbmon from the previous routes into Route 7, maybe just a few though. I would suggest which ones but I'm not exactly sure what Sburbmon can be encountered in which Routes? We should add a Wild Sburbmon sheet to the BMC actually so that we can easily check who is and isn't encounterable so far actually let me add that now.

Thematically appropriate Sburbmon for this area would be carapacians, such as the Midnight Crew and the exiles. I don't think we can fit them all in Route 7 and Derse, but the ones we don't add could be put in um, Route 16 and 17 maybe? I can't really think of anywhere else.

I think Jack Noir should be our Eevee. HB and CD can be our Route 7 1% mons, and DD can be a Prize Corner mon. As for our fifth Prize Corner mon, AR maybe?

I'm not sure about the Prize Corner prices because the starters are all fairly "equal" in terms how valuable they are; I was thinking we would do more of a Pokémon Yellow thing with them actually instead of having them all available in the same place. But if this is what we're going with then ok. Can we choose any prices we want?

Those trades look good. Although, we don't have to make every trade something that's unobtainable otherwise. Maybe it could just be something you don't normally encounter until later, or an evolved form, or something with a rare encounter rate. Actually I think I would like to suggest some new trades but this is another thing I would need a Wild Sburbmon sheet for. Let me just finish making that. I don't know what encounter rates and whatnot are though so someone would need to add those.

Eevee
Would this be too early for a BabyBec? That's a special enough mon i think.

Mr Fuji
Im a fan of haing Spades for this.

Casino prizes
Don't know about prices, but I would say put all 3 starters at the same price. Maybe the other two could be jack Noir and PM?

Trades
All the trades look good to me.
Maybe for Route 11 we do Horrus-> Crowsprite?

Route 7 Wilds
20% - GrubSollux, lv 17
20% - GrubMituna, lv 17
13% - Shale Imp
13% - Chalk Imp
13% - Amber Imp
10% - GrubNepeta
10% - GrubKanaya
1% - WV

The 2 dual dreamers, the 3 main types of imps who would be used by both sides, one dreamer from each planet and a rare chance of WV.

Oh, another thing we could do is this:
Put in the evolution stones one at a time. I'm assuming we can just dummy out the ones we dont need so we just do all the say, horrorstone evolutions for the next patch and have that be the only stone you can purchase. Then in a later patch we add in the robo stone and so on and so forth

Here are some Mitunas!
(by the way, where's normal Mituna's backsprite?)
And here's a midi of Candles and Clockwork, from the old forums.

Some other sprites I didn't see in the dropbox:
Shiny GT Damara:
A GT Meulin I uploaded on the old forums:
GT Caliborn's backsprite:
And an old Squiddle spritesheet from the old forums.

Patch time! The changelist may look short, but I assure you that there's a fair amount of new content- a new Denizen Lair, new routes, and two sub-areas to clear. Not to mention that all the ingame trades you could previously access are actually doable now. Thank you for waiting, and enjoy the new patch!
