@charstan995 I've been debating whether or not to come back to this mod, honestly. If I DO, I'd basically be revamping the existing models and textures with those from Scarlet & Violet... I'll decide on that soon. A Pokeball storage would be "tricky" at best. There's currently some kind of dino storage mod for Atlas, if I recall correctly? Like putting them in a bottle, or something like that.

IDK... I was the dev for Claw & Fang (and the mod's revamp) for ARK: Survival Evolved and after 7ish years, the mod finally got nuked by "someone"... so Nintendo / Pokemon has had a bit of a sour taste in my mouth lately. (PLUS, Atlas, despite being MOSTLY WATER, is surprisingly "user unfriendly" when trying to mod water creatures into the game).

am liking the mod a lot hoping to see more get added to it like charmander and some others also might be asking a lot but a pokeball storage system just for them.

For those still wondering about the state of this mod... I AM TOO haha xD

Part of me is optimistic I can "revamp" the mod and get it to an "acceptable" yet compromised state (that's beyond my control) that I can be at least somewhat satisfied with (and, don't get me wrong: The mod is CURRENTLY in working order... just hit some BIG speed bumps as I stated in the description), but I'm also currently working on the revamp of my Pokemon mod for Ark and that's got a LOT more to work with so it'll be my main focus.

But that doesn't stop me from thinking about this mod and keeping it going... The Atlas Dev Kit in comparison to Ark's Dev Kit just isn't really "spawn editing" friendly haha. The MAIN thing making me consider starting this mod back up again: The Indigo Disk bringing back ALL starter Pokemon with new models, animations, hi-def textures, etc.

So, just... "stay tuned". Decided to put the mod "on hold" instead of "discontinued" for the time being... just in case

Yes!

Update: This mod IS still being developed. Just been VERY busy. The next update IS still in progress

this mod looks awesome loved PokeArk can't wait to see how it develops :steamthumbsup:

@Doctor Hammerlady If you're referring to Litleo, then yes xD
That's the last game it's been in, but I think it's worth adding. Plus, it already has an Atlas counterpart in the lion so it makes sense

So Ultra Sun and Ultra moon? Lol
Azazel 19 May, 2022 @ 8:51am 
I just noticed you added a couple new ones recently haha. Ran into a Popplio and surprised me to see it lol
Azazel 19 May, 2022 @ 8:08am 
@Amalgamaniac Totally understandable !
Amalgamaniac  [author] 18 May, 2022 @ 4:18pm 
@Azazel Well, admittedly, a lot of the stage 1 forms will just have 1 attack (simply based on my skill level), but I plan on some of the upper tier forms having at least 2 / maybe 3 attacks
Azazel 18 May, 2022 @ 4:15pm 
It is pretty cool yall and they have different attacks they do as well to add to the "battle feel" haha.
Smash 18 May, 2022 @ 11:17am 
this sounds amazing. cant wait for the next update
RealOG18 17 May, 2022 @ 8:18pm 
this sounds so cool
Azazel 17 May, 2022 @ 7:17pm 
@Amalgamaniac Awesome! Looking forward to seeing what you come up with!
Amalgamaniac  [author] 17 May, 2022 @ 4:41pm 
@Azazel I'm in the process of trying to rebuild PokeArk's evolution system into RTSS, so hopefully sometime during the summer I'll start working on evolutions for Pokemon in the mod
Azazel 17 May, 2022 @ 3:44pm 
@Amalgamaniac, But overall its been pretty fun we have a handful of Pikachu and Squirtles and they have performed great with all the commands and how they respond to threats and fight back. Nice also seeings the smooth swimming animation! Think I will tame a Magikarp today! It had me thinking more about evolution like WOW imagine a Gyarados!
Azazel 17 May, 2022 @ 3:44pm 
@Amalgamaniac no problem and so far enjoying them! My wife and I are enjoying them so far ! I was thinking it is going to be nice once there are evolution's. I am not sure if i am saying it right but basically as far as the compatibility concern. How does the container differ when injecting the Pokemon you have now input method wise VS the creatures containers that already exist look like?
Basically what I am trying to input is how relative they are so I can brainstorm the affect they may have on other creature mods since I am thinking more than likely those mods use a similar container to the standard version of those creatures just add their variants through whatever method to make them modded.
Amalgamaniac  [author] 10 May, 2022 @ 5:31pm 
@Azazel Appreciate all of the support! I'm currently trying to figure out how to properly set up some water Pokemon spawns (since apparently they're a lot less... "cooperative" than how Ark has things set up). I've got some plans on how to make water Pokemon spawn, but I have no clue how that'd affect things with other creature mods as far as compatibility is concerned. Any input is greatly appreciated!

Lots of new content is coming including more Pokemon (obviously), "Shrines" that will allow spawning for "special" variants in a select radius, as well as more items to help out Pathfinders so stay tuned!

I am going to have to follow your thread! We hosted a Pokemon themed Ark server for a while but it was sad nobody kept really updating for the most part different mods. Especially the main popular mod. There were just so many bugs between all the mods and water pokemon mostly couldn't swim and pokeballs froze the game till it got fixed then removed shortly after. But I am also considering down the line hosting atlas but for now my wife and I plan to get back into this and indulge in a non dedicated hosted mode to play in again. So would love a legit pokemon addition to that world especially reading about putting a lot of focus on the water type. I am going to go ahead and add the mod now as well and give it a go as you develop it! I have quite a bit of experience with the good and bad from running many of the mods so if ever i can offer some type of advice from game play perspective I will! I am not a modder but I am an I.T. guy so can help to an extent!

@ColeTrain33 They fight stuff like any other Atlas creature
ColeTrain33 21 Apr, 2022 @ 3:12am 
How do you anticipate battles working? Will they fight things similar to the game engine's combat system, or are you putting in an NPC Menu for game styled scripted combat?
Amalgamaniac  [author] 17 Apr, 2022 @ 5:34am 
@Piston You and me both xD
I meant to already have another update out, but I've been in the process of finishing up some updates for a couple of my Ark mods. I also plan on getting some custom swimming animations for Pokemon from my previous codev for PokeArk so waiting for those will also be a factor as well
Piston 17 Apr, 2022 @ 5:23am 
I eagerly await to see what you're able to pull off~
Amalgamaniac  [author] 13 Apr, 2022 @ 5:50pm 
@etopsirhc I guess we'll see. They never did anything about the Pokemon mods for Ark (except the one that tried to make a profit from being on the workshop), so you never know. UNTIL THEN, progress will go forward as planned
etopsirhc 13 Apr, 2022 @ 5:34pm 
this wont last long. mainly cause you are literally using resources made by the pokemon company. i think the pokemon mod for minecraft only gets away with existing like this cause they make all their own models and textures, as well as don't release any from the most recent game until the next comes through.
