    Pokemon Uranium

    Has anyone else played this yet? The developer made this game in 9 years and it's one hell of a Pokemon game, retail quality. Unfortunately, Nintendo made the owner take the download links off his site, but there are many downloads of the installer available elsewhere. Also there are multiplayer battles and trades built in!

    New region, new Pokemon which are very well made. And also contains NUZLOCKE mode for all you hardcore people.

    http://www.pokemonuranium.com/

    I do have the installer in my personal Dropbox, but won't share it directly here (not quite sure if that kind of thing is against BG code). PM me if you need.

    Here's an awesome wiki with all game info you could want. http://pokemon-uranium.wikia.com/wiki/Main_Page

    Newest Update is 1.0.1 that brings some bug fixes. The updater with 1.0 is currently broken, though it's fixable. Follow these instructions. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bHQrNxjmhuo

    Game has an ID for each player for the online stuff, you can find it out by accessing any of the NPC's in the back of a PokeCenter.
    If anyone is playing, I'll list the online IDs here so we can trade/battle it up! You can also add friends to your friend list by accessing the right most NPC on the second floor of a PokeCenter.

    BG Online IDs:
    • Bori: 148891
    • Kaelan? : 204424

    I have it, but for some reason I can't get the online portion of the game to work.

    Have you tried updating to 1.0.1?

    It's definitely retail quality and definitely worth checking out. The UI isn't very friendly (there's no intuitive way to map controls to a gamepad, no simple means of installing/running it on a moblie device, and Alt+ENTER is the only way to enter its shitty fullscreen).
    But there are workarounds to all of these shortcomings. Otherwise it's a gorgeous amalgamation of Gen III-V assets in a unique world with a less-than-cliche story.

    PLUS THERE'S A DUNSPARSE EVOLUTION!!!!

    ^ The unofficial patch adds a fullscreen mode: https://www.reddit.com/r/pokemonuran...patch_updated/

    Idk about retail quality, there's still a bunch of bugs in the game, some UI stuff that needs fixing (grey text on white background, etc) and some major things missing in the game (i.e there's no way to get hidden abilities, some breeding moves are impossible to get right now, like half of the move tutors don't actually exist yet).

    But it's playable start to finish, it's a pretty good pokemon game and a lot of the fakemon are actually pretty amazing (Gargryph is fucking awesome and needs to be in a Nintendo game like yesterday). I like the starters in this game more than the starters in any of the real pokemon games - they're all actually good and worth using, so you basically can't make a wrong choice.

    The GTS has been down for the last few days, someone's been uploading masses of hacked pokemon that mess up your save file. There don't seem to actually be any server side filters for that sort of thing yet, so the dev took the servers down for now. I think direct trades still work?

    Edit: Oh, whenever they get the GTS backup, my trainer ID is 42916

    There seems to be a player ID and a separate online ID. What's your online ID? Can find it in GTS screen on top.

    Added you.


    Also this game, paired with Joy2Key and a PS4 controller, is even better.

    Added you. And I completely forgot about Joy2Key, I'm definitely gonna set that up next time I sit down to play.

    In other news, I may or may not be addicted to breeding things. It's a small touch, but man I love having IVs visible on the status screen

    Spoiler: show

    Anyone with an IPT account, this got uploaded recently in the games section.

    Haven't checked it out yet but I am thinking about putting it on my laptop for some fun on the go.

    Is the IV the first number in the bracket? I would assume it's a percentage too.

    Yeah, it's [base stat] (IV: 0~31 / EV: 0~252). Lmk if anyone wants any of those with 4 or 5 IVs, I have a bunch lying around my box from breeding and would feel like a waste just Wonder Trading them away

    So Wonder Trade is kind of hilarious. Sent over a level 4 Dunsparce, and got a level 28 Gligar. Shitty IVs but whatever.

    All nuclear type disobey commands, even if you're the OT.
