Game Progress
by Dunghallen
We are working hard on the battle prototype which will essentially be a test to see how
battling will work in the alpha. To go further into detail, the battle demo will test the different
types of moves that pokemon can use in the game, these move types are categorized by their
function. The goal of the prototype is to test each attack type. We are also currently discussing
the day/night cycle, hopefully we’ll have more to report on that in the next issue. We’ve also a
few animations done for some of the pokemon

Ask Section
by Shadow
Again and again our collections of thoughts remain devoid of answers, whether they be
so simple as to contemplate the colour of the sky or to consult the fundamentals of logistics and
automation.
Gather your uncertainties and questions about technical problems or future and current plans for
the game or even something stupidly irrelevant, so long as the question can be answered, the ask
section is directed towards providing that answer.
Every other week, users can submit their questions in the comments, at random, one will be
chosen and featured, alongside an answer.
There have been no questions for this issue, please check back here next time.
“A Spot in Town”
by AndIsayHey
Do you think you know the prealpha like the back of your hand? If so, step right up and
test your knowledge! This is the Spot in Town section, a section in which a screenshot of
somewhere ingame will be posted, and it’ll be up to you to take a screenshot of my location!
The first person to get it correct has their name featured in the next newsletter. Speaking of
which, the first person to get it right last time was bluesonic1. Congratulations!
Without further ado:
View the PDF for more details.
No new quizzes or jokes this week, sorry.
PreAlpha Tips
by dragontrainer
When playing the PreAlpha, there are things that not many people know are possible to
do, or just completely pass over. This article segment is for all sorts of tips and hints to broaden
your play in the PreAlpha. We will be featuring a few of these tips per article, so if you want to
learn some secrets of the PreAlpha, this is where to look.
Tip #1.) If you collect the clovers and/or coins with your Pokemon you have a chance of
getting double rewards.
Tip #2.) If you stand by a clover and another person collects it while you are close, there
is a chance that he will share the clover with you.
Well that’s all for now. Check this section again in our next newsletter for more hints and
tips. See Ya!
