@tomtom9112.ttv Surprise attack can be used at any point when initiative would be checked and the opponent's Pokemon would go first. Initiative is rechecked at battle start or whenever a new Pokemon enters the active spot.

Hey Sleepy, sorry for the random question but have a small rules question hoping you can help with.

Surprise Attack reads:

"During Battle, if an opponent's Pokemon would go first, for one turn, your Pokemon goes first instead"

Is this meant to be used only at the start of the battle (or when new Pokemon are sent out re-starting the initiative) or can this be used at any point during the battle regardless of how long the current Pokemon have been out?

If someone wanna play dm me!

hey so the team rocket tokens and towns wont load and are just yellow tannish squares am i doing something wrong ?

assets missing anyone know of a fix????
hi pat

@#HyperLightMentality have you tried deleting the mod and reinstalling it? sometimes that can help

hi there! I'm rlly sorry if you've gotten this question a lot already- I'm struggling to play the game! Tabletop crashes whenever I try to open it! Yes, I have disabled mod caching. What would you recommend I do?

Yeah for sure, it just seems as though, at least in my group, getting chance cards isn't really worth it. Even when we do get utility it's like, here's another companion you can't have, or here's a pokeball and your teams full, I dunno.

@furizu the way the chance deck is distributed should mean that disasters are the least likely to be drawn, but with it being a deck however, you are always guaranteed to eventually draw some. The same applies to utilities and fortunes. The more you draw the deck, the more you will get out of it. If you get unlucky and draw alot of disasters early, that just means your thinning the disasters and will get less later on.

We're on turn 26 of the game and just wanted to put a note here: The migration deck basically never shuffles? It hasn't once yet. We don't really use the chance cause each time we've done it we get a disaster and a fortune and that's all which felt kind of bad. Having to save up all the jp for evolutions, and I need 30 for my legendary quest, I dunno I don't really want to buy chance cards. How have people been using this mechanic cause I really want the migration deck shuffling more :). I was thinking just playing a fortune card from the deck every round or something and if it's like officer jenny just shuffle her back in or something, I dunno.

Suggestion: Edit the worker trainer card to get 1 coin whenever a new city is added to your road network (must connect to all other cities previously claimed)
He seems really under powered.
Banker: instead of just having access to the trades, give her access at 3/6/9 of her own banked coins

Thanks!

@VmvGray It should have a tool tip if you hover over the item, but it gives the player an additional 3 movement when on the main island.

Don´t know if it is I who hasn´t seen it in the rulebook despite it being there, but i cant seem to find what does the Bike Voucher/Ticket actually do. Anyone knows?

@wertwert12314 it doesn't, but I find it still works well if you give it some swap out moves like bounce or others, Since it's still pretty fast.

@jimangi sorry for the late reply in SLC they only show up at the warp legendary portal

Does Shedinja still have wonder guard or is it just garbage in the expansion?

Hello. Started playing the mod today and loving it so far.
We found Hoopa's Prisin Bottle and Diancie's mega stone on the board. I see there isn't a tile you can encounter them on, so we're wondering, where do those legendaries come up? Is it just a random drawer from other events?

there is technically no restriction of badges for legendaries to obey you, they are just hard to obtain before then, This is because there a couple trainer cards that get access to legendaries early

How many badges for legendaries to obey you? Is it also 6?

working on it in next update (but dont get hopes for that update being anytime soon, I have a couple other big projects im working on and im also waiting on Lev to update base game before i make anymore big changes)

Can the rocket battle soundtrack switch automatically？

@Larissajkl I do not have a git hub link, but if you join the LOS discord, you can find my expansions free assets folder that I made available to the community there.

Hi, I'm thinking about making an adaptation for a physical board game. Do you have a gitHub with available access to the code for this expansion? I really liked this expansion, it's quite complete.

@Mary Thistle, I'm aware that the game takes a decent time to load, and of the pouch trick, However a players ability to load easily I've found is usually do to a players allocated memory whether they have a decent pc or not. Since other then the card decks or hidden spot tokens there are not many items that i can bag to save load time, I leave that to players themselves to make a version that they can easier load. Blindfolding when loading is also a good trick top help improve load time.

yeah that did the trick
however it is also ALOT to load in at the same time, to the point that if i try and join a friend who has this loaded i can't because loading it freezes me just hard enough to disconnect me.
it's an amazing thing that's been created though i would like to ask to maybe put some things in pouches so that they can be loaded when needed?

@cybercyrus towns are rocket disaster safe zones yes, no the corners don't count as adjacent to rivers, it has to be against the river the long way. The update will have alot of new rule clarifications when that eventually comes out, but that will better clarify that.

Hmm, @Mary Thistle have you tried disabling mod caching? This is the first I've heard of that problem, I'll verify soon.

i am having an issue with some of the pictures not loading
specifically the background and buttons beneath the rulebook
the team rocket aces
some of the trainer images
and where you store the companions
also the background beneath the story cards
The area for hq Growth
The area for the migration pokemon
the Default party panel also seems broken

the links that it's trying to load (and fails on) are these

There should be a place in the book where it clarifies river rules for magikarp, also another question our group had is when fainting is the nearest town based off distance regardless of elevation? as for why river clarification, just some complications my group ran into were like, how does it work with elevation? do corners where a river starts count? and maybe we misread the rules and towns are safe from them, but can't you just get soft locked by the magikarp monsoon triggering when you're closest to a river adjacent city and your pokemon don't have more than 5 base hp?

Thankyou for reply!

Also @zzz thank you for the feedback

@zzz I don't really agree with your take on the eggs, in fact much of the community feels they are actually too good lol. The egg bonus pokemon get helps make the weak pokemon good, and the strong pokemon even better, so to prevent minmaxing specific egg pokemon, the rng system is in place to make it harder for people to get that one specific egg mon that's really good, looking at you egg dragons.

Your welcome to share your opinions on it though in the LOS discord. We talk about stuff like this all the time.

The initial Pokemon selection process is indeed brutal, yet so realistic.
But this is truly a great game. Thanks to you and everyone involved in its production.

The rules for hatching eggs are very rigorous; most of the time, even if the eggs hatch, they are not useful because they are not bred out of genuine love. It requires 6 rounds and 1 coin to hatch an egg, and earning coins is challenging.

The method to determine which one will hatch is simply to draw a weak Pokemon card, and there is a 90% chance that the desired Pokemon won't be drawn, turning hatching into a sort of blind box mechanism. However, in the original version pokemon video game, at least the series is preset.

In my opinion, at least five cards should be drawn, choosing one out of five.
Or select a tree from a specific location. Depending on the battles, there would be three cards to choose from, and one could choose one from the three. At least this way, we know which type it could be.

Sweet thank you. I've read basically every card in the whole thing other than the legendary quest cards, chapter cards and the boss cards. I didn't want spoilers. Wicked game my friends and I love it. I've even been playing it by myself

@DarthYetti48 they are part of the rewards from doing specific legendary quests

So this is amazing love your mod! Quick question how do the feathers work?

@LuisH If you need help learning how to set up expansions, Try asking in the LOS discord

@boomh I recommend getting help through the LOS discord

@nino it is in the LOS discord server which you can join through the main LOS steam page

@aikijou thank you for feedback

how do i expand the game?.
When i click it the games bugged, also i cant play the coop expansion.

I am trying to add two more boards to the table, for a total of 8. I don't know how to make the party panel work with the conditions panel. Meaning if I put a pokemon card in the slot and a pokeball below it, the ball won't be assigned to that card. I know this game is intended for 6 but I want to include two more players.

Thank you.

Do you have rule book pdf ? Want to read when outside

Game is great! We love how in depth the mod itself is.
Some notes:
The madame's sleep ability, when paired with the breeder, is a bit too strong. Maybe make it a once per battle?
The pvp element doesn't fit well with our group, at least per our team. There's a lot of pve, and then that so it feels a bit out of place. A suggestion: maybe make it more of a team Galactic than team Rocket inspired thing? Seems like Platinum's story would work the best here instead of Rocket being the bad guys. (and then Giratina PLA level fight at the end just to bring it all together)
All in all, amazing mod, and keep up the great work!

@Igartland25 everything is inside the rule book, the catching mechanics refers to how pokemon roll their catching rate, and the strength mechanic refers to the badge requirement to control stronger pokemon.

how do the new catching and Pokemon strength mechanics work and also what are the Pokemon strength mechanics/where are they?

@Aqusword, inside the pokeball on the trainer card area

Thank you for the masterpiece
