Monster Mind
Here's a puzzle game I made where you can interact and solve puzzles with Pokemon. There's a lot of Pokemon to meet and different things to try, so take your time and have fun with it!
This game is fun if you explore it and find some of the surprises for yourself. But there are also some things you might not understand. Be cautious if you choose to collaborate with other players in the comments below; you might find spoilers which make your experience less enjoyable. Happy puzzling~
Your game should save after every level, but this save file could be lost if your temporary files get deleted. If you want to make sure you don't lose your progress, I have included a password feature. On the Options screen on the main menu, you can view your name and password. When starting a new game, you can tell Grovyle your name and password to continue your progress. All of the Pokemon you've met will remember you, and you will retain any items you have purchased.

The only game I'd give my IP to.
I honestly hate that this is a porn game because the puzzles make me think so damn hard that by the end I don't feel like I even earned my 'reward'
This isn't to say that it's a bad puzzle game, just that I'm very stupid
Sorry, the puzzles are very hard! Someone on the discord server actually wrote a solver for them if you don't want to put up with them. But, they get a little easier with practice
I've personally always loved the game, so much character and I loved the puzzles, not to hard to figure out imo... wish it was still bein worked on for more dialogue and stuff tho, its also a shame that I lost my save from way back when but I'm more than willing to go through the courses again, wouldnt take too too long.
writing the dialog and bringing the characters to life was so much fun! i'm glad you enjoyed the puzzles, i think they're relaxing and there's something calming about the pace of the game and how the characters patiently watch you solve the puzzles. (Well Abra is probably a little impatient, but they hide it well) 😀
... wait where's my save file stored? I wanna see if it's possible to edit my gems ammount~
- Jade *Oh gods why do i keep doing that? He knows who I am... My name is the same everywhere except furaffinity but now i have it as that in a different account instead of A...........................*
Ha ha! It should be somewhere... I think flash stores it someplace like c:\users\<name>\local files....
It's the non flash version
OOOOOHHHHHHHH~~~~ Hi Argon~ Amazing you took it off flash to be an actual desktop game~ though I must admit I may need a guide for the pokemons behaviors in the dice and stairs minigame.
Love you ya horny wrench thing~♡
- Jade
The pokemon all behave very differently in those two games! I think Magnezone plays statistically optimally, and Abra tries to "counter the least risky play" or something like that... someone tried to explain it to me but it confused the heck out of me!!
Hehehehe~ Aren't you the one who made the game~?
thank you for a great game
ohhh i'm so glad you enjoyed it!!! tell your friends 😀
i don't fucking understand :(
sorry! grovyle's explanations aren't always the clearest but she tries her best
Hi! Thank you so much for releasing Monster Mind, ArgonVile! It has given me many good feelings playing it, and thinking about, otherwise; it also made me remember that I liked Sandslash looks as a Pokemon as a kid :) I appreciate that you have put so much time to it, I myself am still playing it, since some time and a while after first finding it, through the Xmas version, and has had a positive effect in my life, heh :) Greetings, Argon Vile!
Wow! A positive effect on your life? That makes the game sound so much more monumental than I ever expected, ha ha. I just wanted to tell some cool stories and help people make some fun friends 😀
I really need to make another game like monster mind some day!!! I will put it on my list of life goals. Thanks so much for sharing this with me, and thank you for playing Monster Mind! Sandslash is really cool~
They seem pretty complete characters; at a moment I realized they make a lot of sense, and made me think you did cleverly so; it worked :) They feel like friends in some way, and are fun in their own way too; also playing games with some feel so good! :)
If you want; don't push yourself too much :) Thank you too, humhum :) It is, heheh :D
is there a way to cheat in some money
There are no cheat codes enabled for this version, so you have to do things the hard way. But some people have shared passwords with 100% saves! You can find them on the Monster Mind discord, or I can find you one if you like.
I wanna see the Xmas on here now
oh man that would be so cool!!
I was able to run it by finding a functioning flash file and a flash player
Aawesome! Yeah it still works if you can run .SWF files. I use the "Flash Player Projector"
I know its fun, Although I did notice that magnezone has button combos that do certain things? Like a few certain buttons and a level pulll deactivates his empathy protocol? Maybe you could make a guide to getting all of these secret messages?
Ha ha ha oh WOW! There is a detailed sex guide over here which includes Magnezone's button panel as well, but it is not for the faint of heart.
Most of the characters were designed to have mostly intuitive rules the player can figure out! "Grovyle likes when I rub their feet", "Buizel cums too quickly if I touch their genitals". Magnezone was designed to be incredibly esoteric and convoluted! But more or less you want to deactivate all the lights, see what happens to the remaining lights, and use that information to interact with their rear panel in different ways.
This is my first time leaving a comment. I can't understand most of the English because it's my native language, but the game is so comfortable to play that I don't mind using Google Translate to translate it word by word. The characters are cute, the gameplay is relaxing, and the erotic content is enjoyable.What's special is that this also has a password function. I've played a lot of porn games but they don't have this function. The gaming experience is really good .妈妈咪呀
Wow thank you for your dedication! I'm glad you're enjoying the game, and that the password feature lets you save your progress 😀 there is a lot to do in the game. I hope you find it all!!
I love this game, and I don't really play it for the porn! The characters are great and cute, the puzzles are fun and the art is fantastic! I'd love to see more pokemon being added eventually like Zeraora, but I understand if you'd rather work on more important stuff, and I appreciate the work you've done either way. I hope you have a wonderful day, and I thank you for this wonderful game!
Thanks, yeah! I'm working on two new games right now. Yours isn't the first comment where people were like "I love this game even without the porn, the characters are so cool and I love the little chats!" so I'm sort of leaning into that and making a puzzle game which is more just about a funny story and cool gameplay.
Thanks so much for your kind words, and I'm thrilled you enjoyed the game 😀
I like the idea of the puzzles themselves and the gameplay as such, but since childhood I made myself a promise to "gonna fuck 'em all"!
Can you give some details about these games soon?
One of the new games is called Turbo Fat and it is still in development. You can try out the mechanics and see what you think, it is PG and the gameplay is very different from Monster Mind! But it is a cool new puzzle game with a fun story, and I'm proud of it so far.
Bro, I'm stuck at 97.1% and the store won't give me new items. Do I need to make grimer eat one of the dildos or something?
That's right, feed Grimer one of the dildos and talk to them again later! It opens up a new item in the store (which wouldn't make sense if you didn't go through that sequence)
Thanks for the assistance, Grimer was taking forever to come back after giving him the dildo but I finally got 100%. I'm on my way to opening the boxes now.
hey congratulations! yaaaaaay
I dunno if anyone else asked this, but I've been in the endgame for a while now and was wondering if there is any way to know how many mystery boxes you've bought, because I lost count a long time ago.
you'd have to like, dig into your save data! it's not displayed anywhere in game. maybe i should have added a little tally marker somewhere for fun, ha ha~
the game actually DOES stop counting when you get over 50-100 or so!! but wow, i can't even imagine. i think i've been playing 20-30 hours and i don't even have ten of them yet!
there are some crazy people on the Monster Mind discord who have made password utilities and stuff like that! maybe one of them could tell you...
Wait... so you can buy an INFINITE number of boxes??? I thought that they would cap at some point. Is there a point to buying so many other than to get the Lucario interaction?
Ohhhhhh well, past a point there's really nothing else to buy. But, it doesn't really do much 😅
Is there any possibility to make the game multilanguage? especially is there any possibility to have the game in spanish?
There is a lot of text to translate (about the same as a 2500-page novel) but the game is open source (here is Abra's dialog). So, I guess someone could do if it they are bilingual, and incredibly passionate!
A few people have started translation projects! One person even got about 50 "pages" in before giving up. It is no small feat, and they spent several months on it! There is just a lot more text than you might expect.
omg, the fact you wrote lore for these characters in their dialog files is awesome. Gotta remember to set some time aside to read those.
It was mostly notes for myself, so that I would remember how to write for them! But I guess it can be fun to read too~
I remember playing this game 5 years ago, I LOVED IT!! But it made my head spin haha... So I never finished it. A few months ago I decided to play through the game to get the endings and now it's making me want more of these silly characters! Every character feels very lively, like for example occasionally while doing puzzles another character may come in the room for a short period to interact with you or the character you're doing puzzles with leading to some hilarious interactions or for example the characters might leave the room for a short bit of time leaving you in awkward silence until they reappear halfway through your puzzle. There's nothing more realistic than that LMAO
Ha ha yeah! They all have their lives. Sometimes they step away for a little bit and come back 😆 I hope it doesn't hurt your feelings
The puzzles are crazy hard! Did you really get to the ending? You have to solve so many puzzles to get there ha ha~
defiantly, I played through the whole game again just to get both endings, the puzzles leading up to it are very difficult as you have a limited timer to finish them! I don't wanna spoil anything but are there more than two endings that i might've possibly missed?
either way, I'd love to see more of the characters, if it's anywhere outside of the game like a short comic for example that would be nice👍
There's MOSTLY just those two endings, but a few weird easter eggs and variations depending on your gender, abra's gender, and the things you decide along the way
For one of the craziest easter eggs, if you make Abra upset at the end of the game -- she'll leave you alone for awhile. After solving a few puzzles by yourself (with no Pokemon) eventually Sandslash comes by. You can tell Sandslash something that makes Abra FURIOUS with you, and Abra reliates against you in a very weird way!!! I don't think very many people have done this, but if they do I bet it shook them a little...
it's hard to remember but i think I might've gotten that scene! I thought whatever happed afterwards was a glitch before interacting with her again! It really did catch me by surprise
That's right yeah!!! The whole game glitches out and goes purple and it plays some really jarring audio too. Ha ha. Maybe you really have seen everything!
Wait... there's more than one ending? I'm guessing the second ending is to refuse the offer, but it never even crossed my mind to do so.
yeah you can refuse it! abra gets myaaaaaad 👿 there's a whole series of events
will there still be updates like new pokemon?
No, the game is finished! I'd love to make a new game like it some day, but for now I'm working on other games~
thanks for the reply, and im looking forward to the game that you wanna make which will be like Monster Mind, because i loved the game:)
Will your other projects be here on Itch or somewhere else?
They'll all be here on itch!
Heracross is a BITCH. THEY KEEP ON GIVING ME EMPTY BOXES...
yeah they're kind of a dufus aren't they? c'mon heracross! gimme the good stuff!!!!
LITERALLY. Like, love you Heracross but GET OUT. NOW.
Mobile version when?
i know, right!?! haxeflixel doesn't make it easy. it's open source if someone more clever than me can figure it out. it's really hard!!
Well i only have my phone, and im stupid + the lag that happens for some reason made me confuse (when the caracters Go out of the "câmera view" idk)
So yeah im kinda screwed here
I've loved this game for a very long time
Wowww thank you! It's crazy how much support it still gets 5 years later, I'm just glad people still remember it 🥰
You have good writing with good art and sexy sex scenes, combined with very solid if difficult (at user choice) puzzle gameplay. You have very close to the perfect puzzle porn game.
It would be so awesome to see either more of this or another puzzle game with similar theme but new characters. Mahjong can be a lot of fun with a sexy reward.
Thank you, I'm a bit torn if I make a new game -- as to whether I'll reuse the same gameplay, or invent something new! But, I'm leaning towards something new.
Personally my favorite puzzle games tend to be action puzzle games, like Puyo Puyo, Magical Drop or Tetris. I'm currently working on a game like this but think people appreciate Monster Mind because of its chill vibe, so a different kind of chill puzzle would be more suited for its sequel. Mahjongg is an OK choice, it could be fun with a social aspect! Although I think there are already many games like that. I'd like to make something unique!
Personally I really like puzzle and rpg porn games since I like to play one handed. *Wink wink nudge nudge poke poke* And match 3s tend to be my go to, Huniepop did a great job with it, too bad the writing in the sequel went... weird. There was a tetris attack game called Octofurry that was pretty good.
I'm not used to thinking of Mahjongg as social (just played mahjongg solitaire) but that could be really cool, you with a few characters playing together, especially if they had fun with each other, but probably a lot of work. Especially if you did animations with similar quality to Monster Mind and both gender options.
Awesome, yeah I played regular Mahjongg a few weeks ago but I remember playing Mahjongg Solitaire as a kid! It was a fun little puzzle. Maybe it would work OK for porn, I'm not sure!
I dunno if it interests you or not, but I've always thought a peggle-type nsfw game would be excellent, and it's something I've never seen! Honestly any game you make with the unique, social characters is going to be five stars for me ahah
I've been super addicted to peglin lately so i could imagine something like that being super fun!
Haha I played through it again and I was forced to update my rating (if I could rate 6/5 stars I absolutely would)
"Oh, I haven't checked up on this quaint little flash game in awhile. Maybe I can help some people with some of the puzzles, or perhaps even direct people on how to play this game at all!"
Imagine my surprise to see that the developer is not only still responding to messeges, but has also updated the game to no longer require flash. Fantastic
It was SO much work to do the non-flash thing too 😅 it was lucky to coincide with a mild crisis which i wanted to distract myself from, so i just dumped a week or two of my life into this huge project and got it done
Thanks for playing my game! I'm sorry I haven't added anything to it, other than migrating it. I am currently working on making two other cool games!
I cannot win the dice rolling game for the life of me :(
Is there some sort of trick to it
It is very hard! It centers around predicting your opponent's moves and making the moves which will counter them.
The Pokemon do not move randomly, and they all play the game a little differently! As a hint, I think Rhydon plays the game more naively, and will throw 2s on their turn and 1s on yours! So you can beat them if you anticipate this and throw 0s to slow them down, or aim for the shortcut by anticipating their throws.
All of the Pokemon are a little different though! Learning their patterns is a part of being good at the dice game. It is hard and the rewards are not too big -- so I hope you'll just enjoy the game even if you don't win at it. The Pokemon are happy when they win 😀
have you started on any new games or are you waiting for some ideas?
I was whooping Abra's ass at the dice rolling game, and my game crashed. I believe Abra made the game crashed to prevent losing to someone inferior.
nooooooo ha ha ha! that's so something abra would do too
that’s perfect
This game is super fun, though I sometimes get random crashes. I wonder if it has anything to do with Abra...
Hmm I'm sorry! The Flash version occasionally had crashes on machines with low resources. There are options in the options menu to make the game take less memory (but it affects the visuals a little.)
I wonder if I introduced bugs when porting it, or if this is something which has always happened! I haven't seen it happen yet.
Oh, I'm actually playing on the exe version on my computer, which runs games pretty well. It could be from porting it, but I have no experience with making flash games :x
(Edit) it's also not super frequent, so it's not a huge deal
That's good, i'm glad it doesn't happen too often!
alright so I’ve gotten all the Pokémon from this game that I was missing from Pokémon x (as well as a ditto from the Pokémon village if I ever wanted to breed a specific gender) and now I just need to transfer it to omega Ruby and beat the elite four, should be easy since lucario is so good I think for teams I’ll do (abra, grovyle, lucario, buizel, sandslash, and heracross) and then (abra, grimer, magnezone, rhydon, smeargle, and kecleon) since there’s only 11 Pokémon in the game I think it makes sense to put abra in both teams as the leader, normally she could only use teleport but I’ve taught her psychic and some other moves with TMs
Ha ha, the game is not yet compatible with Pokemon Bank unfortunately! But maybe some day if Nintendo reaches out to me :)
what do you mean by a Pokémon bank?
Pokemon Bank is the only way to transfer Pokemon to the newest games. There is no place to stick your link cable into a nintendo switch!
wait so you’re saying there’s a possibility to transfer Pokémon from the Nintendo switch onto this game if they make something special for it or am I misunderstanding?
when are you gonna add a carotid artery puncturing mini game with grovyle?
Ohh please, I really don't want to do that!!
I swear grovyle said she’d really enjoy it, it would add much more variety to the minigames
Damn I really like this game!! I like trying to do the puzzles even though I have a peanut for a brain x3 But I obviously enjoy the other thing more :p Learning their body language and their signals is so satisfying and I don't know if I'm the only one to enjoy that! Oh and the art is really cute too! Same for their reaction x//x
I'd love to have a link to see more of his drawings :3
They're very hard puzzles, so hopefully you can figure out at least the novice puzzles! I tried very hard not to punish players who couldn't do the hardest puzzles -- the hint system will get you through any puzzle if you ask enough questions, and the Pokemon mostly rotate to the easier puzzles so you can always play with your favorite Pokemon if you are patient. And lastly -- there are some secret ways I give slower players more money, so even if you are slower than most people at the puzzles you still a secret present for it 😀
You might be surprised that for every person who asks "How do I solve this puzzle, I don't understand" there is someone else who asks "I can't understand how Grimer works someone help!" Both halves of the game are kind of a different kind of puzzle aren't they?
I can do the novice puzzles without thinking now and honestly I kinda took advantage of it :p
And I tried doing the hardest tutorial with Abra's explanation at like 5 AM I think you can imagine how I felt after that
Honestly this game kept me busy for almost a week, I wasn't really in a good mood for personal reasons and it definitely helped, I could recognize myself in a few Pokemon (I think I'm not the only one though) and following the story was really entertaining, And like I said on my last message, I've spent quite a while with every Pokemon during the private sessions :p
Wow a week, that's so cool! I wonder which Pokemon you resonated with the most? I am probably a combination of Heracross and Grimer (but with the sex life of Magnezone, ha ha~)
I am kinda like Sandslash and Kekleon honestly xD (I guess it makes me someone with a huge sex drive)
And I resonated a lot with Smeargle, He's such a cutie, Lucario too ! And I kinda enjoyed being trash talked by Abra lol
Ha ha I'm glad you were a good sport! Abra's kind of an asshole but I roll with it. Sometimes you get to make fun of them too~
Loving this game so much! Would a relationship / sexual slider be something you'd be interested in? Like the more hearts you get with them the more dialogue / sexy time options you get
I've played games like that where you unlock things over time! Monster Mind is sort of that way too in a different way.
There are some conversations you can't have until you play the game a lot, and some sex options you can't unlock until you buy some rare items in the shop. I think as you talk to a Pokemon more and get the more personal conversations, you grow closer to them! I think they feel that way too.
Would it be possible for you guys to come out with a mobile version? I'm loving the game!
Thank you, I'd really love to do that! HaxeFlixel's mobile support is largely uncharted territory, so I think it will be very difficult. But maybe I can figure it out...
The game is open source if you have a very smart friend who will do it for me 😆
sometimes when I’m talking to heracross she draws out my name when she says it, but only the vowels, how did you do this if my name isn’t preset? I thought it was really interesting
Thank you, it was a tricky little algorithm to write!
https://gitgud.io/argonvile/monster-mind/-/blob/main/source/MmStringTools.hx#L15...
The algorithm is here but basically it looks for the first two vowels in your name and adds more of that vowel. There are a few edge cases if your name is something bizarre like "grt" or "j" but that's about it!
that’s super cool! also how does she know when I play the game? that’s pretty creepy
I can kind of understand it, But my friend understands coding much better than I can that’s super impressive you can do all this is the code c++ or what?
This was written in something called "HaxeFlixel"! The ".hx" in the filename means "Haxe". But to me honest if your friend already understands C++ than they would mostly understand this Haxe stuff too. It is all the same!
so how did you choose which Pokémon went into the game?
i got idea that you would choose pokemon u want
sure! that's a cool idea
like section where u choose lucario and other pokemons then the type like 3 pegs or 4 pegs
these end game prices for the phone and mystery boxes are the outrageous, I called kecleon and if you don’t add her as some little bonus imma be distraught
They are completely insane! The phone sometimes gets discounted a little, but really I think you are better off waiting for the Pokemon you want to show up
Kecleon is a treasure <3 sometimes if you talk to them they will go into detail about their relationship with Smeargle and you might understand better why you cannot "play with them". But, I'd love to put a kecleon in another game even if it is not the same one.
yeah I’ve seen all that and understood it but come on, she said she was down and that smeargle was down, total blue ball
I just got charged 15000 for a box of nothing let’s go
Join the club! I have bought collecting mystery boxes for several years, and have nothing to show for it... yet!
oh can they actually have something in them occasionally?
yes, but it is rare!!
I just got the electabuzz vibrator, seems like you did manage to sneak your favorite Pokémon into the game
that item is very rare, i still have not found it! i need to buy more boxes...
i liked the lucario character hes so cute
yeah! i like his deep growwwwl~
same here
you’ve forced me to get all these Pokémon and make them into 2 teams so I’m gonna figure out which game buizel lucario and smeargle are all in, and trade them all over to omega Ruby somehow, even though abra only knows teleport, I’m gonna put her in both teams, since she’s, you know, the leader
That's so difficult! Wow! I have a lot of pokemon on my 3DS which I think are trapped there forever because of Nintendo's Pokemon Bank thing. I don't know how you'd go about catching some of those!
In omega Ruby, grimer is in Mt. chimney I’m pretty sure, heracross in the safari in the northwest grass, you need an Acro bike to get back there, abra can be found in granite cave, grovyle has to be your starter of course, Rhydon can also be found in safari, kekleon can be found around the tree fort area on route 121, magnetite can be found somewhere around route 110 and will eventually evolve into magnezone, sandslash can be found in the desert storm area around route 111, and I’ll just figure out how to get lucario buizel and smeargle in Pokémon x and then trade it to my friend and then back to me on omega Ruby, quick balls are probably the easiest way to catch them all but i want them all in regular poke balls so that’s how I’m gonna do it, to get the exact genders I want I might just breed them with dittos if you wanted to do something similar or just know the process I hope this was helpful or at least interesting
Edit: it’s actually much easier to find a magnemite in new mauville
thank you, wow! what a detailed explanation
yeah I wanted to get them all with regular poke balls but that’s hard to do with abra so I would recommend getting a zubat and leveling him up until he can get mean look and stop abra from teleporting away, I also wanted all the Pokémon to be female but my grovyle was given to me as a male and I don’t want to breed it with a ditto because I’ve put so much love into my grovyle and I wouldn’t want to start over, so I’m not sure what I’m gonna do what do you think?
I think it's just OK to pretend your grovyle is whatever you want it to be! Games like Pokemon are best used as a tool to fuel your imagination, not as a cage to constrain it. Dream what you want to dream 🌈
who’s your favorite Pokémon?
My favorite pokemon is Electabuzz!! It took tremendous self control not to insert it into the game. But I chose each Pokemon very carefully, and did not choose my favorites
huh, by what process did you choose which Pokémon went into the game? Also maybe you should treat yourself and do your favorites for a future game?
and what makes electabuzz your favorite?
I caught an electabuzz in my first Pokemon game (Red) and he was very strong! And I liked how his sprite looked, and Burger King came out with an Electabuzz toy which I put on my keychain. He went around with me everywhere I went! So I thought of him as sort of a friend 😀
the lore
you know, breloom would have been a cute choice
That's true, I'd love to play with a breloom in a game like this! I wonder what their personality would be like
that’s a good point, but I have to say I’m biased towards a more happy go lucky type like heracross buizel and lucario, they’re probably my favorites
wait what about goodra?
Goodra is so huge!! They'd be like rhydon and i wonder if they'd also have a goo effect kind of like grimer?
I’d love that, I wouldn’t want to reuse characteristics but I could imagine rubbing the antennae of goodra in the same way as heracross where she gets confused
Ha ha that would be fun! It would make sense that Goodra's antennae would be very sensitive.
in omega Ruby treecko can be a starter Pokémon which evolves into grovyle, grovyle is the first Pokémon you meet in this game, coincidence? Probably not
grovyle is the lynchpin of all the best pokemon games!!! it is no coincidence 😉
