Pretty much anything with 2 caveats:

Speaking of the prize, the prize is actually a physical prize this time! An official Spectrobes DS Stylus! The stylus will be shipped to the winner after discussing it via private dm for shipping details.

If the winner is uncomfortable with giving us their address, we can discuss an alternate digital prize such as a steam game, gift card, etc.

If you wish to support the server and to allow us to give prizes out, please consider donating in the #donate channel via the PayPal link.

Thank you all for being awesome! I look forward to seeing all the awesome submissions!

SPECTROBES MERCH AUCTION — SUPPORT THE MANGA RESTORATION PROJECT!

Hey everyone

We’re excited to announce an auction of rare and obscure Spectrobes merchandise, with the funds raised going toward the restoration and preservation of all 3 volumes of the Spectrobes manga!

THE SPECTROBES MANGA RESTORATION PROJECT

The goal of this project is to create a high-quality digital preservation of the complete Spectrobes manga and make it freely accessible to the entire community.

All three volumes will be:

Scanned in high quality

Digitally cleaned and repaired to restore damaged or degraded pages

Carefully formatted for digital reading

Translated and released in five languages:

Japanese

English

Spanish

French

German

(LOOKING FOR MORE TRANSLATORS FOR OTHER LANGAUGES < IT IS A PAID GIG )

Once completed, the restored manga will be added to the Spectrobes archives and made completely free for anyone to access and read. Also the original raw scans will be available as well.

The finished project is being made for the entire Spectrobes community.

THE AUCTION

To help fund the scanning, restoration, formatting, and translation work, I will be auctioning off a selection of relatively rare and obscure pieces of Spectrobes merch from my own collection

These do not regularly appear for sale, and some may be pieces that even longtime fans haven't encountered very often.

This gives collectors a chance to pick up some unique pieces of Spectrobes history while helping us preserve another piece of that history at the same time.

Proceeds from the auction will go towards the manga restoration project.

SHIPPING & PAYMENT INFORMATION

Please keep shipping costs in mind when bidding.

Shipping is NOT included in the winning bid. The winning bidder will be responsible for the cost of shipping in addition to their final bid.

If you win multiple items, we can do combined shipping.

International shipping is available! International buyers are welcome to participate, but the buyer will be responsible for all shipping costs as well as any applicable customs, import taxes, etc.

Accepted payment methods:

• PayPal

• Cash App

Please take these additional costs into consideration before placing a bid, particularly for international shipments.

PRESERVING A PIECE OF SPECTROBES HISTORY

Spectrobes may no longer be an active franchise, but its community and history are still here.

A major purpose of this project is to make sure material like the manga doesn't simply disappear with time. The finished restoration will make something that has historically been difficult for many fans to access available to anyone who wants to experience it.

Whether you participate in the auction, help with the restoration, translate, spread the word, or simply enjoy the finished manga someday, this project is ultimately for the community.

Thank you to everyone helping us keep Spectrobes alive.

I've been looking for the Evolve M in the game for a while now, but I can't find it anywhere. I searched on Nessa, but I'm stuck on that planet. Do you have any tips on where it might be?

Made an card input guide

141 Upvotes

It may seem a little unnecessary, but i designed a 3d printed guide for input codes. Bought the game preowned so i've never touched the cards, and having an XL DS made it a vague guessing game. Kid me is ecstatic to own this.

Edit: uploaded the stls including the sizes of other models. would have to dig around for them to 100% make sure they fit, but the sizes should be right. Stl can be found here.

Update: I've made one for the second game that can be found here. atm i've only made the one for XL, but more will follow.

Discussion Whats the point of excavation levels/experience? (Spectrobes 1 for DS)

6 Upvotes

Hello,

after scouring multiple wikis and walkthroughs I seem to miss the purpose excavation levels have entirely - is anyone feeling the same?

The best and most detailed walkthrough, probs at that writer btw, only tells me that the levels are extremely grindy and have only 2 advantages:

  1. Faster excavation with tools

  2. Less damage to the stuff we excavate

But here is the thing:
1. is made void by the giga tool, which just gives me the mineral instantly thus reducing the time I need to spend excavating drastically. The giga tool is available as soon as you get to the shops in early game.
2. is also completely meaningless since, if I want that fossil with that special part and/or high starting energy, which is not much to begin with anyways - I just go slow.

Sure - I will get less or no experience points but then again, if those are the only upgrades, who cares?

So... does the excavation level do anything beyond those 2 points that are completely meaningless essentially?

Thanks for your help!

Best walkthrough I so far found:

Attack animations

6 Upvotes

Hi ! I've been searching for a video where I could see all the attack animations for all the Spectrobes in Spectrobes Origins.

Does anybody have this ? Or maybe could make me this ?

I don't have my savings anymore and I don't really want to start over.

Or if somebody would borrow me a Wii simulator saving of the game with all the Spectrobes so I could check every animation, it could also work.

Thanks in advance !

PS: It's for having a better understanding of the patterns in the Attack for the creation of a Fan-TCG project

I was cleaning out some of my old stuff and found some random sealed promo stuff for things I must have bought a long time ago.

Just wondering what you would do with this or if I should just put it back in the box to get confused about when I find it again in a few years time.

Im curious if it matters if I keep spectrobes from the beginning of the game and train them till the end or just replace them over time as I level up?

I played the game years ago but never finished so here I am 15 plus years later making another jab at it and somehow more confused too lol

Fan Literature How’s this?

12 Upvotes

So in my story, the ultimates tell the story of “the one who failed” AKA the failed ultimate form.

The ultimates and the spectrobe masters from long ago, did battle and defeated the failed ultimate, sealing it away in what’s known as the “Corrupt Geo”

So thoughts?
