Just finished ZA, and I gotta say- I did not expect to like it as much as I did!!
I *didn’t* appreciate that the Megas leaked beforehand, and I’ve already accidentally spoiled some of the DLC stuff for myself. Time to go MIA again until the DLC drops- woo see yall in February 🙃

This update fixes a lot of bugs and changes a lot on the back-end to prepare for language support and alternate conversion methods!

I just want to talk about the future of Blue Moon Falls a little bit (don’t worry, all good things!) so I’m going to use this thread to do that.
You’ve probably noticed that site updates have been nonexistent despite me officially coming out of hiatus. Well, there’s a few reasons for that:

I unironically would love to play a game like this, gimme more silly nerd programmer games
game idea: Factory of Doom
a factorio/satisfactory style construction game where you start with redstone-esque logic, go up to constructing gates, then make gates into adders and memory and logic, and you beat the game when you combine all this to make a computer that runs Doom

I’m very excited to say that I’ll be adding my good friend Malamar to version 6.8.7 of PTGB! This has been a long time coming, and many many months of work have gone into making this possible.
Also Fennel has been replaced with Malamar and the program has been renamed to Malamar Transporter GB

WE'RE MAKING A DIFFERENCE. LET'S GET KLANG INTO THAT TOP 6
Welcome back to the most and least visited Pokémon articles on Bulbapedia from last month.
In August 2025, we had some major reveals lead to some Mega-Evolved results for our stats! Anything else surprise you?

Today marks one year since Poké Transporter GB had its v1.0.0 release! Although it may not seem like it, a ton has happened behind the scenes in preparation for v2.0.0. I've taken on a large sub-project with completely rewriting the conversion algorithm, as well as the text engine. (1/4)

Finally ended up buying this game after trying the demo and… yeah there goes my productivity for the next <indeterminant amount of time>
If this was on console, I genuinely would probably never end up playing anything else ever again 🙃

Recently I’ve been messing around with what music could sound like for Poké Transporter GB! I want to have callbacks to the Dream World & other transfer methods, and this is one of the arrangements I came up with. It’s very crudely put together atm, but I think it has potential!

Thank you Muppet*Vision 3D, for everything. You were one of a kind (well, two of a kind from 2001 to 2014) and hopefully someday you’ll return. You’ve inspired so many things in my life, and will continue to in the future.
Life’s like a movie, write your own ending- keep believing, keep pretending.
