Howdy all! #AncestralX v2.0 is now out! Featuring the official integration of a custom, fully deterministic AI, along with new moves from Gens 7-9, added QoL, and an overhaul to many of the trainers, particularly gym leaders and E4! Please enjoy! https://t.co/UjqO3A10I8

[Will | Axyn @itsAxyn]

Yeah, I definitely remember to announce here.

#AncestralX v2.3 is out, with some changes to how the AI utilizes Mega Pokemon. https://t.co/x7iejIbJqy

[Will | Axyn @itsAxyn]

@DJ_Gekko24 Ash Greninja is not in the game. I have no plans to port it, but if in the future plans change, then it would operate as a regular mega evolution due to tech constraints.

[Will | Axyn @itsAxyn]

Hey all, #AncestralX v2.1.0 is out now! Plenty of fresh changes if you're looking to try out the game or come back to it! https://t.co/x7iejIbJqy

[Will | Axyn @itsAxyn]

Hello everyone! Super excited to announce #AncestralX v.1.4.AI+, the newest AI patch. This one's a big one, as there is a now a fully accurate battle calculator simulation running on the backend and I've codified the AI Rules & Priority in a document. https://t.co/UjqO3A10I8

@Squerk_ I'm truly sorry that you feel this way and for your poor experience. If we can be of additional support, please feel free to Dm us. -Axyn

Howdy all, #AncestralX v1.4 is out! Mostly a patch of balance changes, but largest changes are the sudden scarcity of honey and new encounters in the Sea Spirit's Den! https://t.co/UjqO3A10I8

[Will | Axyn @itsAxyn]

Hey all, #AncestralX v1.3 is now out! Big feature for this patch is 2 new encounters in Vaniville and the Kalos Power Plant, and of course there are a variety of balance changes. Hope y'all enjoy! https://t.co/UjqO3A10I8

[Will | Axyn @itsAxyn]

Howdy friends, dropped another #AncestralX patch (v1.2) last night. Bit of nerfs to Viola and Tierno, more berries, and distinction for a variety of megas. Hope you have fun! https://t.co/UjqO3A1yxG

@ArcXGamer Pretty sure I removed all shiny locks where I saw them.

[Will | Axyn @itsAxyn]

#AncestralX v1.0 is out now! Looking forward to everyone's thoughts and watching all of the streams and YT videos! I hope everyone enjoys! https://t.co/UjqO3A10I8

@blunk778 It’s on my list, but there’s not a lot of demand for it and maintaining two versions requires a little more management on my part, so it generally hasn’t been worth pursuing, especially while the main game is still getting balance fixes.

[Will | Axyn @itsAxyn]

Hello, just released #AncestralX v1.1! There are a lot of changes aimed at trying to balance the early game, with the goal of buffing you and your options rather than directly nerfing trainers. Hope you enjoy! https://t.co/UjqO3A10I8

[Will | Axyn @itsAxyn]

@BrandaoItallo @Drayano60 Thank you, but in short, it's going to remain where it is. Longer reasoning: the PP nerfs are deliberately calibrated to avoid stall and sweep strats, and in the case of an example like Quiver Dance or Dragon Dance, even 1 PP to boost is still extremely strong.

[Will | Axyn @itsAxyn]

@Glacicle64 I’m not precisely sure, that’s more of a question for the general 3DS homebrew server, but you can use checkpoint to back up and restore your 3DS saves. Not sure how it interacts with physical hardware.

[Will | Axyn @itsAxyn]

@mordsneak This seems to be an active issue, yes. I’m looking into it. The files themselves are fine, I believe it to be a Windows error.

[Will | Axyn @itsAxyn]

@Poffinguy @Drayano60 I’ve been told it should be challenging enough with a normal playthrough.

[Will | Axyn @itsAxyn]

@TheRealNoonan @TheBigL94497582 @Drayano60 Inspiration from other hacks aimed at reducing sweeping/stalling.

[Will | Axyn @itsAxyn]

Hello all! Excited to announce that the official release of #AncestralX will be this upcoming Friday, March 24th! I hope everyone enjoys playing the game, and may you be lucky enough to avoid too much steering! https://t.co/UjqO3A10I8

[Will | Axyn @itsAxyn]

@hanyolo97 Pokémon Y is not yet supported, but there are plans for a Y variant!

[Will | Axyn @itsAxyn]

@TheBigL94497582 @Drayano60 Won't be everyone's cup of tea, but that's the way it goes.
