Fun Fact 1:

Why did I choose Piplup and Riolu as the heroes?

Well on my very first ever playthrough of Pokemon Explorers Of Sky way back in the day, those were the characters I chose and so they are both very nostalgic to me, leading to the reason why I chose them.

I literally looked up what were the right choices that led to Piplup just so I could get Piplup lol as it was one of my favorite pokemon starters at the time.

Fun Fact 2:

I literally replayed through the entire game before we started working on this just so I had a fresh view on what I needed to write and prepare.

-

Fun Fact 3:

This takes place after Deltarune Chapter 1, not 2.

We originally planned to have the post chapter 2 stats as their base stats so it would canonically take place after ch 2 but Kaldigi forgot to listen to when I said to do that and used the chapter 1 stats instead and I was too lazy to remind him so yeah Chapter 1 lol!

Fun Fact 4:

Every act/Dialga pre attack move besides 3 are not real pokemon moves.

Those being:

Beam Barrier | Dialga move

(Wanted to have the battle box corners be deadly, so I made this move up to do so.)

Check | Kris move

(Obviously, lol!)

Aura Heal | Riolu move

(For this one, it just sounded cool, lol!)

Fun Fact 5:

This was originally never going to be a game and only an animation but Kaldigi talked me into it because since the animation was already being worked on in gms it would of actually been way harder to just script an automatic fight and way easier if it was player controlled. So you can all thank Kal for that, lol!

Final Fun Fact:

Piplup was originally going to have their dimensional scream as a move instead of swagger, but due to how complicated the idea of how it would have worked was, it was scrapped and replaced with swagger.
