This is genuinely good! I went into it expecting something small to poke at the reason they cut Misty, but got a preposterous amount of quality in it's writing, gameplay and even technical aspects which shows this is actually quite a labor of love! It perfectly encapsulates the dumbness behind the reason for the rotation of female (:P) characters and internet/streaming culture. Looking forward to seeing more of this!
So I tried to use joiplay to play this but it froze during the first battle hell it didn't even start the battle so I'm hoping a android version of the demo will be released so that those who do have computer's/ laptop's can enjoy it too PS please add mimikyu
Thank you for the comment! Yeah, the final release of the game will be Android compatible but the demo currently is for Windows only. I'm pretty certain I know what the issue is but it's giant mess to clean up and at present I cannot go back and patch the demo without jeopardizing the finishing the final game because I'm on a tight timeline (and, joiplay may fix the issue in a later patch in the meantime anyway). But, I'm going to do everything in my power to make sure the final game is indeed Android compatible.
This is the very first fan game I want to play buuuutt I'm completely new to this! I have a Chromebook and I downloaded the zip file I'm just unaware of where to go from here. If anybody would be willing to help please do.
I apologize for the late response! Itch ate this comment up in the filter and I just approved it.
I personally do not have a Chromebook (yet). So, this is all guessing from my end (so be careful). That said, I found a tutorial that installs RPG Maker XP, through which you can use to play the game. If you open RPG Maker XP and start a new project, you can then close RPG Maker XP and go to your new project's folder. Take the file Game.rxproj in your project and copy-paste it into the Misty Orange game folder. Now, open Game.rxproj directly from the Misty Orange folder and this game should open up in RPG Maker XP. Then, just run Misty Orange from RPG Maker XP directly.
Here's the guy that has a tutorial on installing RPG Maker on a Chromebook.
Alternatively, that content creator also has guides for installing other Windows-based software on Chromebook (in his latest videos) that might also work for Misty Orange.
That all said, I'm not familiar with Chromebook, so I'd suggest being careful none-the-less because you don't want to brick anything over a game. But, that's my guess at least? I hope this helps!
There will be no purchase and I will make no profit ever on this, haha. For estimated timeframe, the goal is April 2027, which is three years from the original demo release date (and just under two and a half years from now). So yeah, it'll be a while. But, it'll be good when it's done.
The cool matey who made this game told me the final version will be comparable with Android version I'm so glad brah can't wait to play this masterpiece
Thanks so much! I've had nights like that with my friends on other games so I'm glad to know that I've been able to repay the gaming community with similar experiences.
Hey! I apologize for the delayed response. I get asked about joiplay frequently and was just a bit tired at the time, haha. For the full game, I do plan on providing joiplay support. At present though, I would have to completely hack up the demo's code to get joiplay working, which would just kill any progress I'm making now on the final project (which, will already be hard to finish with impeding life stuff). That said, I do sincerely thank you for the interest and will do my best to have the final product playable for you!
I made an Itch.io account just to make a comment expressing my Love for this goofy fucking game. Please, I need more, I need updates. Where can I check for updates? I need to see activity, I haven't had this much fun playing a Pokemon Romhack since never. Because I never enjoyed any of them, with the exception of this one. I love you, I love this game, and I love the charm that oozes just from this page alone with the floating Misty heads
this is an amazing comment and i love you as much as a content creator can love a random poster they just met on the internet. thank you sincerely for this and your artistic inspiration! this kind of commentary makes the long slog to the finish bearable, haha. regarding updates: I'm in the long haul right now so it'll probably be like three years. But, I have been toying with the idea of semi-regular updates (I don't want to do too much and annoy people, though). Just follow me on here (which you already have!) and I'll try to post stuff at least 2-4 times a year in the meanwhile. Once again, thank you so much for this great comment!
Just a viewer of this streamer, but thought you'd like to see a glimpse of a stream audience's reception to your demo. Gameplay starts around 1:32:00, but skip to 4:26:26 for the reception.
The dialogue, battles, direction were hilarious and a great soundtrack to complement it.
I hope that motivates you to continue and eventually finish the full game!
Woah, I was totally unaware of this! Thanks so much for posting it- I had some open time today and ended up binging all of it, haha. It was a wonderful encouragement in a somewhat discouraging week in other life happenings. I especially enjoyed his arc of starting it as a joke but then genuinely loving it. The chat's comments on the songs were also appreciated- I don't make the songs, but I do spend a lot of time curating it, haha. As a side note, I also have to say- I think Tolomeo might be the most skilled Pokémon player I've seen play this- he knows his competitive strats pretty well. Anyway, thanks for the encouragement on my continuing progress to finish this!
The current demo is a Deadpool worthy nostalgic trip, but the Pokemon NOT following orders & rebelling because we don't have any badges hampers the fun! I love the parody, but not the Souls Borne!
Hey, thanks for following up! Quick question: Did you download your version of the demo prior to this Sunday? I believe I patched the low obedience cap in that recent update (and just tried testing it) but if it slipped through the cracks, I definitely want to fix it because I don't want the game to be that frustrating!
i'm liking it so far i need to redo everything i did but the game is funny. i like that new name is a name but then gary comes and changes that. and he stole my girl 😭😭😭😭. i want to get ma girl back
This might be one of the annoying Pokémon things I've ever played, and yet at the same I enjoyed my time nonetheless. I do want to ask you about this game's difficulty, for a demo, though.
I get the Level 25 and Level 45 Metapod battle being annoying on purpose, since all they can do is use "Harden" even when they cannot raise their defense higher. But I found the fights with May, the Beedrill guy and Tracey particularly annoying. May is annoying because of the limited but still cheap movesets of Torkoal (Snore, Ember, and Rest. Mainly Snore and Rest for how often it puts the Clefairies to sleep, and regains Torkoal's health.) and Torchic (Mainly Double Kick's sheer power, with the occasional Protect.). The Beedrill guy is annoying because of the Beedrill's repetitive use of Fury Swipe, due to its frequency to hit a lot no matter the Girl ability's usage. Tracey is annoying because of the spamming of Smeargle's Circle Throw to damage the team and force a switch every time, alongside the additional spamming of Spikes that doubles onto that damage count, all combined with how you have to repeat that pain six times.
*edit* just pushed the update that fixed some of these critiques
Hey, thanks for the comment! I'm actually trying to push an update this weekend that will fix some of those issues and some softlocks. This was an accidentally induced. Initially, May's Torkoal was overleveled and players would just lose quickly and move on, so it wasn't actually too frustrating. But, in the recent updates, I lowered the level to give them a chance but I'm finding this results in a very long stall battle... followed by a stall battle... and then later Smeargles, which is just too much frustration. I'm going to nerf the Torkoal again and also probably the Smeargles and I'll also look at the Beedrills. My purpose in design is to provide a comical level of frustration to the player without inciting anger (kind of like friends joking or teasing one another). Admittedly, I haven't struck that balance quite right yet and still need to adjust some things. That said, thanks for the feedback once again!
Hey just played the game and accidentally softlocked myself. Using the fire exit, I tried using the escape rope and couldn't get the lorelai juice thing due to that and so I was forever stuck in pewter city that's all.
If you have a position open, I would love to help you make a soundtrack for this game. I'm a music producer and I really wanna make more chiptune stuff and I have access to sound fonts and stuff so, if you're interested in having another pair of hands on the project...
I saw this game and really wanted to play it but I can only do it on mobile since I own a mac. Do you have any future plans to have this game compatible with mobile emulators? I use Myboy and it wasn't recognised.
Edit: nevermind you already answered this question below.
Brooo, i had already so much fun in just the begining of the game, but the game crashes right after me becoming Pooty Bottoms :((( [When i'm about to fight Gary], even though i'm playing it on Windows.. Edit: Now it worked? Idk how, idk why, just played through again, and it worked. The most difference made was the name chosen haha
Bizarre 0_o Well, I'm glad it finally worked, haha, and hope you have fun with the rest! If an error pops up any time when you play, please take a screen shot and send it over!
Bro can you tell me the series of your choices before fighting Gary? It keeps crashing for me everytime I fight him😭. Like what name did you pick, did you get the ai gf and did you pick a pokemon or the girls
Geez, that's literally the basic give item script. This is good information to have. Joiplay right now is just so finnicky with this demo (and, I'm also introducing some more complicated code for the final) that I'm going to plan to see how they update it in the next few years because if work on it now I just won't have the energy to finish the game. Hopefully, some of these errors will just been non-issues as their emulator gets better but I'm definitely going to try ironing out the wrinkles for the final release if they're not. Thanks for the report though and I'm sorry I couldn't be of more service!
Yes! In the game's folder in Audio and the various subfolders (BGM is where most stuff is), most songs are named after the composter/game they're from, the console, and their title/track. There are some exceptions as I've had to replace some songs to avoid copyright claims or didn't name the right originally but these are listed in credits.txt in the main game folder.
Gary's battle is specifically the boss song from Plok!, where I take like three songs because it's an awesome soundtrack. Rest in peace, Geoff Follin.
Thanks for checking! It was a very minor update where I swapped out a song. No new content will be added until the final release- just minor changes and bug fixes.
joiplay crashes right now due to a simple essential plugin, seemingly : (
i'm not sure if i'll ever get the demo working on android just because i have to keep making but i'll definitely devote a block of time to getting the full game running on android
Sadly, RPG Maker XP games, which this was made in, just doesn't work on IOS. I apologize, Essentials is just the standard for this sort of thing but runs on 20 year old technology. Hopefully I can get an android port working for the full game, though.
so apparently, i just found out where this was from, haha.
for reference, the "professor tree" joke is actually from a short troll game called Pokemon FTW that one of my old game making buddies and eventual members of Arcane Kids made. There are a couple of gags that I take from that game (and give credit to the creator in the credits.txt file)

Can we get a rough estimate on the release date and if the full game has to be purchased or not
There will be no purchase and I will make no profit ever on this, haha. For estimated timeframe, the goal is April 2027, which is three years from the original demo release date (and just under two and a half years from now). So yeah, it'll be a while. But, it'll be good when it's done.
Is it available for mobile user to play?
The cool matey who made this game told me the final version will be comparable with Android version I'm so glad brah can't wait to play this masterpiece
i just finshed it an cant wait for the full game
Just finished it. Genuinely enjoyed it. Like... a lot.
Lmao nice
Hello, are their plans to have a route that makes Nurse Joy leave the pokecenter? And not immediately dump you for the first person she sees?
There will be multiple endings depending on what you choose at at least two more Nurse Joys you'll run into.
Is there any gba hack like this or this is only for windows ?
Thanks for the comment! There's no GBA hack. The final version of the game is planned to be compatible with Android though.
Ahahahah thank you so much! I'll be excited to finally provide a chance for all you Android users to play!
this is so fun haha thx for making this
Sorry for the delayed reply, but thank you so much for this encouraging comment (and for the review!)
Me and my friend had an amazing time playing this game all night tonight. So much fun can't wait for more updates and the final release
Thanks so much! I've had nights like that with my friends on other games so I'm glad to know that I've been able to repay the gaming community with similar experiences.
very good
I can't wait for you guys to release it for Android, iOS, Doom, on a monkey on a motorcycle at 100 km/h! Good job developers! Waiting for "the game" 2
Thank you so much! I'm still working on my unicycle lessons so I'll be able to catch up to and force the monkey to play the game upon release.
I'm really excited about playing this game on my phone :)
The only thing bad about this game is that it's not finished.
Awesome game, can't wait to see the full release!!
😑😑

since this is a demo are you going to make a full version?
Yes! But it'll be probably a few years, so long as life doesn't explode moreso than normal
The current demo is a Deadpool worthy nostalgic trip, but the Pokemon NOT following orders & rebelling because we don't have any badges hampers the fun! I love the parody, but not the Souls Borne!

Would it be possible to make an android version? 🤔
add a auto run
It's there! Open the Options menu after loading a game. Apparently, it doesn't show if you open Options from the start menu though.
That said, I was completely unaware of this discrepancy until now. I'll put it on the lists of things to fix, thank you!
what now?
now i have to finish the full game, on which i am devoting all my spare few hours of free time :(
that'd be great if you did. This game does look pretty interesting
add "skip opening cutscene" option
You know, that's a great idea. Thanks for the suggestion!
rigged tbh how do you kill that
when i talked to the prof tree the game broke
thanks for the comment! are you using joiplay? at present, this game is sadly not supported by joiplay
i'm liking it so far i need to redo everything i did but the game is funny. i like that new name is a name but then gary comes and changes that. and he stole my girl 😭😭😭😭. i want to get ma girl back

Does It works for joiplay emulator?
Edit:
I just tested it and it works perfectly if anyone else is wonderingEdit 2: I works fine until you pick professor's parcel, then the game crash
From what I've seen, it crashes on the Gary battle for a lot of people (and also in my own tests). Does the Gary fight work for you?
It works fine until you pick Tree's parcel, then It jus crashes for me
I always get this error when I talk to the PokeShop man:
Geez, that's literally the basic give item script. This is good information to have. Joiplay right now is just so finnicky with this demo (and, I'm also introducing some more complicated code for the final) that I'm going to plan to see how they update it in the next few years because if work on it now I just won't have the energy to finish the game.

Is there a list of the songs used for this? I loved Gary's battle.
Yes! In the game's folder in Audio and the various subfolders (BGM is where most stuff is), most songs are named after the composter/game they're from, the console, and their title/track.

thank you!!! :3 I wish you luck in your devving endeavors!
hey i noticed that there was an update a day ago. is it a new demo or just a website touchup?
Thanks for checking! It was a very minor update where I swapped out a song. No new content will be added until the final release- just minor changes and bug fixes.
Just wondered, can you play this game on an emulator like Drastic or Delta or really any mobile android emulators?
joiplay crashes right now due to a simple essential plugin, seemingly : (
