no updates since march?
full version will released on november 14, 2025
Is there a log for evolution changes to any/all pokemon?
Hey, awesome game. Quick bug mention, hydrapple as a follower bugs out. Turns into a missing.no and no sprites kind of bug out. He does look normal when you walk down but every other direction bugs him out.
i found a simmiler bug some pokemon followers will bug out if you move with thembehind you then pick up an item before they finish moving.
Hi, I would like to report a bug in Pokémon Lazarus. I downloaded the latest version (without having a previous save), and every time I start the game, choose Froakie, and try to heal in the Pokécenter, the game just freezes. Could you fix it or explain what happened?
I have the same bug, It’s for choose Froakie?
Hi!! Same case although I chose sprigatito, I haven’t tested other starters tho and if it happens in other pokemon centers
Additionally it happens when I talked to the inn too even though on my first try it didn’t crash (the only difference between the first try that didnt crash, and the second that did crash on the inn was that my sprigatito had damage)
Hope this helps figure out the fix! 😀
Update!!
It seems to happen regardless of starter pokemon and seems to not only happen inside the pokemon center
So far the game freezes in the following:
– nurse joy
– only when you choose to heal
– does not happen if you cancel
– inn time change
– regardless of time
– does not happen if you cancel
– delivery man
– i think it occurs when dialogue ends
– i believe it happens as soon as an the battle event is triggered?
Stuff that i thought would trigger it but does not:
– pokemart works fine
– battle encounters work fine, both wild and trainer
– picking up berries
Things to consider:
– i am currently using myboy and I havent tested in other emulators yet
– bug happens regardless of if game is on fast forward or not
have you fixed it yet? cant even move past the intro cause it keeps crashing on the thug fight lol
anyone cant walkthrough grasses while diving?
Pokemon wont evolve at all. no held item and are past the evolution requirement? anyone else have this issue?
I just got the 5th badge and Rania is talking with Team Chimera outside of the gym on Myrinni Island but I can’t interact with them. Then if I go back to Prof Elia’s lab and talk to his assistant (I think Nick) and he says he heard about my interaction with Team Chimera even I was never about to interact. Also, Rania is in the lab and on the island at the same time. Plus, I go back to the mines and the Team Chimera grunt is still blocking me from entering. I can’t proceed to get dive and move on, am I missing something? Or is something going on with my game? Please help.
So there is a gamebreaking bug after you catch either groudon or kyogre where scyther boy is still there blocking you. For whatever reason after catching it does get rid of the quest in the phone. Just wanted to let you know, love the game but more than a bit stuck!
Anyone know where to find the changelog for the new 1.1 update?
When I made the comment, this page wasn’t updated yet.
Life orb still does damage with sheer force ability
How do I get into the stat modifier screen?
Is in the game Tediursa an its evolution line, Ursaring and Usaluna?
i cant see the lvl cap disable option in the new version still idk if its a bug but yeah downloaded both version from mega and media no diffenrence
i found a terrable bug that PERNMATLY destoys a berry patch, i accidently used “amaze mulch” and becuase i hadent saved in the last 30 minutes i was like “eff it” when ment to use “rich mulch” so i used the one i MENT to use oon the other patch, it JAMMED IT PERNMATLY they wont grow AT ALL and now the berry spot is DESTOYED, i tested it on ANOTHER spot with “amaze mulch” and “rich mulch” and same results. IDK where you go to report a bug.
