How's this game in the romance department? Like is this game a proper dating sim or theres basically no reason for this game to be on this site?
Ren'Py Pokemon Academy Life Forever [v5.24.2025] [Pokémon Visual]
- Thread starter DarkWolf2055
- Start date
This is not a dating simulator (according to the developer), but in the future you will have a choice of a certain number of characters with whom you can build a romantic relationship (half of whom are men, unfortunately)
That sucks. Most females have such 'interesting' designs. I really hope Sabrinas on that list.
yeah it's annoying that our Mc always refers to himself as bisexuell ...
I know what you mean. I get thrown out of diving into stories every time this topic starts, but for some reason the developer is adamant on this issue, to the point that we are not even given a choice (Are you gay Harry) It's pretty funny considering the fact that we're being asked if we want to see obscene language.
I don't mind that the MC is bisexual since it gives everyone (with the exception of lesbians) a chance to be with whoever they want, my issue is that it's being repeatedly hammered that they're bi and every update involves at minimum two peices of dialogue that pretty much go "I'm gaaaa bi *drool*" it's very braindead and makes it less of a throwaway fact that you see once put it on the character bio and ignore, and more of a actual character trait that has been ruining modern storytelling.
The repeated use has made the MC go from [A Trainer that wishes to be a Pokemon Champion who is also bi] into [A Bi Trainer that wishes to be a Pokemon Champion] it's very pandery and annoying, and it really ruins the character when it comes to the actual main story where this occurs repeatedly. I much prefer the MC during character storylines, because we actually see who they are as a person, how they effect peoples lives by being themselves, and giving proper add ons to the main story without any throwaway lines of "me bi me bi." If it weren't for those pieces of dialog this game would actually just be a slog for me due to how mid the main story is without the side characters and how the battles are just me vomiting my poke-knowledge against a noob-friendly game instead of a geniune challenge (exception bring the Alteria fight since it's not really noob-friendly and is a unique feature to the game).

Man...I've been playing this game obsessively for the past few days, only to get stuck with the fight against Dawn because of the bug with my Pikachu's ability.
I'm glad its apparently a known issue that the devs are working on, but its a real bummer and momentum killer

For how organically the writing flows with each characters' personality for most of the story, the whole "I'm bi" bits honestly feels like a second person stepped in and stuffed them in for how much they cut up the natural flow of the dialog each time they appear now.
I think the developer REALLY wants us to know and not forget this detail that is EXTREMELY IMPORTANT for the plot, but even he himself does not know how to adequately weave it into the plot and we have ridiculous moments during the same Silver scenes.
Scene 2
Silver: ..So you like men?
MC: YES YES YES YES
Silver: ...hmmmmm
Scene 3
Silver: ....So you still like men?
MC: YES YES YES YES
Silver: ...hmmmmmm
I'm terribly sorry, but we were kind of talking about your dark past, your father, and why you have a dozen bandits in your hut. How did we suddenly start discussing whether MC likes men?!
as a fan of male friendship, brotherhood and camaraderie, I don't like it all and what new shades this fact colors the situation.
At this point, i'm more inclined to believe the dev is doing this to trigger people who absolutely can't stand the idea the MC might find men attractive as well, and not just women, and who's made sure to let that displeasure known over and over. 
Slightly more seriously, MC's behavior in this regard is no different from flirting with/complimenting women which he also does regularly in the game.

While I don't mind Red being bi for the story, I honestly just feel that there's a better way to organically write it into the dialog instead of making it a brief cut-in that can interrupt the scene.At this point, i'm more inclined to believe the dev is doing this to trigger people who absolutely can't stand the idea the MC might find men attractive as well, and not just women, and who's made sure to let that displeasure known over and over.

Finished the current content just now of this for the first time in well over a year atleast.
Its fine pretty good even with story and pokemon combat but I dont really know what it is doing on this website tbh, would have never found it back in the day if it was not to be fair but yeah there is never gonna be any proper sexy times.

I need help guys when i load my save pikachu forget freelectric did i need to make a new save (sorry i'm french and not that good with english )
It's the second time I started the update and load my save only to find out it didnt start where I ended last time... A bit confusing for me, especially since I didnt play it for sometime.
Sometimes changes to game's script cause RenPy to rollback a bit when it loads the save state, or otherwise jump to another spot. Because what it has saved doesn't match what it finds in the new revision of the game. It's just how it works.
well what I actually mean is that some new stories are added before where last updates ends, making me think if I missed something when I start playing the update. But what u said is also one possible case.
Ah. I believe it was stated in earlier update notes it'd be the case -- previous release was a "preview" for half-finished game week so to speak, so the folks with less patience could check it out. And now this latest week or so is completed, or at least closer to completion than it was.
So I, too, have a Pikachu without the event ability (got Static lmao) and what's more - I noticed it happened again even after a full save restart.
I'm not sure at what point the error takes place, but the ability changed from Freelectricity to Static at some point and I have no idea when. No cheats, no mod, not file edits, etc.
This is a pretty crazy bug, I have to say - makes the game completely locked up for seemingly no reason.
Only think I can think of is that it also triggers with save reloading or when rolling back history/choices, but with no way of seeing precisely when the change happens, I don't know what can be done about it.
Sucks 'cause I really enjoy the game too.
