QUICK ANSWERS
Common questions
Is there a native Android build?+
Not confirmed. The official listing targets Windows 10/11 64-bit, and the research notes say mobile is not planned.
Why is the first launch slow?+
The official page says shaders may take several minutes to compile. This can be normal on first launch.
What should I include in a crash report?+
Describe what you were doing and include the game's Saved/Logs/ file when contacting the official Discord.
Does the game support double battles?+
The current Early Access listing says single battles only; double battles were not completed for this build.
Is the old island demo the same game?+
No. The old demo is a separate historical, unsupported build. Keep it separate from the current Littleroot-to-Mauville Early Access.
Can I use a controller?+
Controller support is listed, but the official page recommends committing to one peripheral because switching can cause UI bugs.
KNOWN PLAYER REPORTS
Common issues and what to do
These are recurring player reports. Check the game version and logs when troubleshooting.
| Area | What players report |
|---|---|
| Controller input | Some players report PlayStation, Switch, or third-party controller detection problems. Test by device and version. |
| Battle UI | Some reports mention battle buttons or inputs disappearing. Report with logs. |
| Loading / hitching | Low RAM, storage, or lower-end systems may pause during loads or battle events. |
| World clipping | Players have reported falling through gym or map geometry; do not treat this as universal. |
| Save updates | Players ask about save transfer after replacing an install. Back up first; the universal save path remains unconfirmed. |
