sorry the game is complete! adding new pokemon is a lot of work, and it would be very complicated and difficult to add new pokemon without breaking the password system
Yeah, I wish Nidoking came to visit sometimes! But I can't imagine having him and Rhydon in the same house... I'd need to program bigger text boxes just for all the shouting!
Some of the characters are more sensitive than others about Grimer's smell! Some if them will not play with you at all, or some of them will just need a short break.
There are certain gloves you can buy that prevent the smell, if you use them with Grimer! They are the gloves with the lightning bolt. (Or you can just not play with grimer, I GUESS)
really love this game btw .. i originally didnt care for the puzzles but now arguably play this game more so for the sake of cracking them rather than the sex LOL
There is no trick to getting the red dildo, you just have to wait for Heracross to put it in stock! It will show up faster if you buy more of the other items. (But make sure you can afford it when it shows up! It is expensive and rare.)
The tablet/pad is another item you can buy! It is also quite expensive and rare.
Hey! I'm back! I'm really enjoying the mobile version thus far! It runs like a charm, and is still just as fun as before! Keep up the great work, I wish you luck in any future projects.
Hey, love the game but are the logic puzzles based off anything preexisting? Would love a physical version of the puzzles or a completely pokemon/nsfw free version to share with friends and family. This is one of the first logic puzzle games that I've been able to fully understand and have a great time with.
It is based on Master Mind! If you google something like "play master mind online" you will probably find a lot of websites which will give you puzzles.
The biggest difference, is that in Monster Mind the guesses are all made for you -- so you have to be very clever and very efficient! When you play online, you can make a lot of silly guesses and you will probably always win, even if you are not very clever.
OH and a little easter egg, but this specific puzzle is the reason why I have 5-peg puzzles in my game! I laughed at how hard it was to solve these puzzles with 5 pegs and only 6 guesses. But with Abra's help, I now understand it's actually one guess too many. If you're clever, you can always solve it!
I enjoyed this quite a bit, even if the puzzle annoyed me a bit in the harder levels I (mostly) started to get the hang of things. Too bad it was only a game tho, shatter my dreams
yeah, it would be nice if Pokemon existed in real life! but for me, most of my friends are online anyway. the difference is not as big as you might expect!
Oh okay! Nobody has built an iOS version yet. iOS development is very expensive, very difficult and it is illegal unless you pay apple a lot of money for a specific kind of computer. I'm sorry!
The game is open source, so if you know somebody with a lot of money (or maybe someone who is already an iOS developer) then maybe they can port it!
Yeah, we've got some other small changes coming to the android version next month too! It would be a shame if this game died with Flash, I'm glad to keep it alive. It's a very special game
I've seen other games would offer more interaction options, that would be cool! It would be a little strange thematically with the game, since it would imply Abra just created something like a floating tongue which floats around and salivates everywhere, ha ha. But who knows!
I see I didn't know that works like that I don't know if there was a history.😮 well in that sense open reluctantly could generate a portal between both places for these parts.so you don't have to put so much effort opening such a large portal or maybe by synchronized mind using a psytic connection to emulate the senses of both and by mentally manifested organs could be carried out(although I think only with the penis could) in the case one could well given that is unleashing our potential psy which using us as a catalyst I think it could be done once we already have a certain level.
I really enjoy this simple game, obviously want more mons Zoroark, Mew, Charizard just a few that come right to mind. Also would be cool if some would solo themselves for you or do sandslash does when you mess with butt right, make sense to tie it with horny meter. Also possible some mons enjoy butt stuff more sometimes leading to the climax or like I said before, they finish themselves kinda like Grovyle if they are into it. Abra would make sense with the current build. Either way enjoy the game hope for more.
I was thinking about soloing thing. max meter touch them for a little and stop. Instead of it ending they get frustrated (Abra) or lustful (sandslash) and solo themselves. IDK you are pretty good at mixing stuff up so you do you :)
this is a rly cool game, great concept, well designed puzzles, great animation and really engaging writing. all the characters are really charming and the systems are really fun to figure out. i do have one suggestion about the dialog system.
so im a trans woman, my first try in the opening i picked "its complicated" and while most of the pronouns were they/them i did get he'd a couple times. (i specifically remember heracross saying it but it mightve happened other places).
i decided to try picking "im a girl" on another save and instead of saying "genitals" grovyle said "vagina" which is a thing i dont have so kinda turned me off.
it would be real cool to have the pronouns for the player and the genitals the player is assumed to have be decoupled from eachother. itd aslo be cool have those both be a setting in the options menu or something. i like the opening conversation but its pretty ambiguous what all it changes and having to start a new save to mess with it is demotivating. and in my specific situation, unless im missing something, theres not an option there that would make me feel the most comfortable (she/her pronouns and using "genitals" to refer to my genitals)
its a really cool game, its engaging and sexy and challenging and cute and funny and charming and i really enjoy it! thank you so much for all the work you put in and for sharing it publicly like you have. i hope my grievance doesnt come off as hate, i really like the game and even if the change i suggested is too much work to implement or you simply arent interested in making that kind of change ill still recommend it to my friends cus i think its real cool.
Thank you, i totally agree with the sentiment of inclusion and respecting the pronoun and genital preferences of all players! But unfortunately in the present day, video games are written by people in machine code, and considerations like these require more people, smarter people, and more complicated code. I promise i did try really hard!!
The game is open-source if you happen to remember some of the specific places where you got "he'd", or if you want to expand the game to include separate preferences for genitals/gender, expand the dialog choices, or even offer alternate more complex pronouns, or let the Pokemon themselves be non-binary. The possibilities are only limited by your free time, patience and technical expertise!
If you want to fix those dialogue typos, here are the two classes which include about 99% of Heracross's dialogue in the entire game (except for the places where they show up during other pokemon's puzzles.) If you remember the exact thing they said, you can just CTRL+F it and find it really quickly!
For example line 927 here, Heracross talks about abra and says "...if he..." and then line 950 includes the alternate female dialogue "...if she...". Maybe there are some mistakes or oversights! It's also possible you misread the dialogue, and they were talking about a male Pokemon in the game, but you thought they were talking about you instead. I'm not sure! Let me know if you find anything I should fix.
I'm sorry for your negative experiences with my game! Let me know if there's anything concrete I can do to remedy them.
whoa that's crazy! it looks kind of cool though... i wonder what's happening? all the colors are present but they're just shifted 180 degrees around the color wheel
it happening across the entire game, could it because im using bluestacks on a mac, but other games ive played on bluestacks dont have that issue :p, js kinda curious
whenever i try to load the game from the browser the game just freezes once I tap anywhere. I am playing on iPhone so maybe that’s why but the game loads just fine. Usually I’m not able to open the game at all
Oh, I'm sorry! It's a pretty resource intensive game, so I'm not sure if there's much I can do to improve that. The game is open source if you or anybody else have any ideas for how to improve the performance or prevent the freezing.
Man, the addition of this game on Android was the best thing in the world! In fact, I managed to solve the problem! It was just a little problem with my phone, nothing big, sorry for bothering you. (nice game)
I don't understand what that means, "the game comes out of nowhere" -- does that mean like you're using Youtube and the game pops up or something like that?
is there a way for the glove to go completely inside in any way? Just asking for clarification, that way anyone with the same question doesn't have to ask as well
Some people have reported that kind of problem happening occasionally with Sandslash but I haven't seen it myself! You might see if you can reproduce it... If anybody, it seems like they'd be the type!
Made an account here just to say I absolutely adore this game. The characters are so interesting, especially Heracross my beloved I wanna kiss him <3
It's SO fun, I'm Ace and Sex repulsed but still have fun playing because even the sex is a puzzle and it's fun to figure out solutions! Thanks so much for not only making but maintaining such an amazing game!
Heracross is such a little sweetie! I love them too, they're so needy but they're always stuck running the shop. If you ever solve puzzles with them, and find the secret room in the shop after -- you should spend some time there and make their day 💜
I'm glad you find the sex parts of the game interesting, and I'll be curious if there's a specific character in the game that eventually resonates with you a little! I'm asexual myself and there may or may not be an asexual character in the game, it's left up to interpretation. But the game is very sex-positive and everyone in the game enjoys their time with you, so I hope you continue visiting with them to say hello 😀
They're very difficult, Grovyle provides tutorials for the other kinds of puzzles if you click the "Tutorial" button on the main menu! There are different tutorials for every difficulty, and Grovyle walks you through some steps and tools which make them a lot easier.
They are still very difficult though, even with Grovyle's help! It is a difficult game. Don't be afraid to ask Abra for hints!
for android build, it seems you need Android NDK r15c and a supported JDK, apparently 11, but you also have to fix the compilation of pcre using these changes https://github.com/HaxeFoundation/hxcpp/pull/1042/files because it won't compile otherwise
other than these I followed the same instructions on your gitgud page, just with `lime setup android` at the end of the installs, and you need to install the prereqs and assign the directories it asks for (Android SDK, Android NDK [from above], and Java JDK)
and I actually managed to get a compiled version on my phone from that
it seems like the bugs I've found so far are: sweat and cum are black, I assume same problem as the windows builds had before the fixes? , the game is not centered on the screen, and has empty space on the right side with no bg in puzzles and the menu, but pegbugs can sit there, and the rank question box is offset from its button hitboxes
I don't know if this is a bug or not, but imported saves seem to default all pokemon to female, was it always like that?
I hope it's okay if I keep listing things here just in case anybody knows how to fix them: Magnezone's button panel has broken graphics (haxeflixel logo instead of button logo), and the red button crashes the game
Sorry, not every pokemon can use every toy! But, every pokemon can use some toys, and every toy can be used by some pokemon. Try different combinations!
I was curious about something, how difficult would it be to port this to Android? Would it pretty much require an entire rewrite or is it possible to port one of the binary builds somehow? The game really works perfectly on phone with the HTML build but if it were somehow possible to get a native build that would be great. I'm not saying you need to do it because I understand this project is pretty much done, but I'm curious how difficult it might be
it's written in something called "HaxeFlixel" which can cross compile to android, but the process for getting your computer set up to build to android is pretty hard! I spent a few days trying to get it working but couldn't do it. Maybe you can figure it out!
I kinda have a problem. It isn't that serious though so I just want to know if there is a way to fix it. So i made an account in the game but i accidentally closed my tab. When i tried to log into the game again, the game took away half my progress which is like my items and probably my rank. If there is a way to solve this I would really like to know but if it isn't possible that's fine too.
Sorry, I don't know how to fix that kind of a problem! You can screenshot your password in the future, which will save most of your progress including your items and your rank. Otherwise it's sort of up to the browser what it saves and what it purges, and I can't really control it
So, I'm addicted to this game, not even for the porn in it, just the characters and puzzle aspect have me so entranced with it, that when I do get to the more horny parts I kinda skip over them to see if I can get any more of that juicy lore. I downloaded the game four days ago, I've been grinding it and have made it to 33 hours played on it, I'm going for 100 hours to see if I have missed anything. I'm doing this to get a more concrete standing in this game then just one really good playthrough. But for now, I'll rank this game in four categories, Gameplay, Story (I know some games don't have a story, but this one does), Graphics (I don't necessarily care about this so I might grade this low, but just know its because some games have really good graphics and it would be a disservice not to include it), And finally, the PORN (I know this isn't in most games, but this one has it so I include it). Understand this is just my opinion so if you disagree with me please explain why.
Gameplay: Really well balanced, the progression of puzzle difficultly was made so smooth and the choice of doing the tutorials give the player the freedom of choosing to learn the puzzles by trial and error, Abra's hints are actually good, the only major difficultly spike in the game is when you go from NOVICE to 3 PEG, but it doesn't take that long to understand and if your really confused by it, try the tutorial, it might help. The minigames are a completely different story, all three are very simple, good but simple, now I think the most complicated of the three is the peg balancing game because it requires quick math reflexes, tug-of-war is a simple concept but in this game it gives it a bit of a twist and the stair game I don't want to talk about it because I have a negative bias towards it that might be completely unwarranted. In total I give the gameplay a 9/10.
Story: I didn't pay much attention to the story until the end with Abra, I don't want to spoil the end too much, but my favorite character, Buizel, has some good character backstory and personality that makes the character so lovable, which makes sense cosidering that some of the pokemon are based on the creator of the game, ArgonVile (Hope you read this), experiences as well as their friends, too. I give it a 8.5/10
Graphics: This category does not treat this game well but I like to think the pixel art does this game well, makes it seem more simple, enticing, the same effect the game Terraria has on people that like pixel art. Although I like the stylistic choice of Pixel art but now and days most people care way to much about graphics, so its a good thing I don't care about them right now, my opinion so I give it 8/10
PORN: ArgonVile actually cooked on this one, you can choose which gender you want all the pokemon to be and not only that but It changes dialog and the animations to them. The time and effort ArgonVile put into just this one part of the game puts me in awe, even baffled to think about the amount of willpower needed to do such a feat. Now I'm not trying to belittle the other parts of the game, but drawing porn and then animating it then coding it to work then testing it to see if it works is a long process. Oh, before I forget to mention, the porn, sex part? Sure, imma call it that, is really smooth and well made, not to realistic but the reactions you get from the pokemon is well coded. this is an easy 10/10, makes sense for a well made porn game.
Ending statement: According to my scoring I give this game a 35.5/40 or in a percentile form, a 88%, I would say that would be above average. Now that I'm at an hour and twenty minutes of typing this, my final thoughts come down to, Me LiKe GaMe, VeRy FuN, and in all seriousness, Good job to ArgonVile for making a beautifully crafted game. :D
P.S. I'm using what the actual genders of the pokemon are, not whatever I prefer as it makes more sense.
Wow thanks for the detailed review! It's unusual for games to balance porn and gameplay, but I wanted both parts to be good so that players would feel rewarded for their gameplay and not just want to skip to the porn. But you're right, I've seen MUCH better looking graphics in porn game and some of the stuff people do is insane!! But I'm very happy with Monster Mind and I'm blown away you've played it for 33 hours.
If you're looking for extra things you haven't finished yet -- many people overlook giving Grimer one of their dildos to eat, and many people overlook calling Sandslash on the Heracross phone. And, some people overlook playing with Pokemon in Heracross's back room! All things are unnecessary to complete the game, but there's some funny dialog and special scenes if you do them.
If it makes it any better, I just hit 60 hours played and definitely will be recommending to others, thanks for responding though, the one thing you mentioned people overlooking is calling sandslash on the heracross phone? How do I do that? Also, I'm going to make and even longer and more detailed review about your game, I think I missed a few topics and other things I should have talked about that now playing the game through a second time helped me remembered. Also I would like to thank you for making this game, the one review I made on it alone re-sparked an academic journalism I had thought I had lost, specifically gaming journalism. But thanks for your opinion and helpful hints inside your game I'll definitely try to make anyone of my saves hit 100% at some point.
Make sure you let Grimer eat one of your dildos at some point -- then, after buying all the items in the shop and Heracross should only have two things for sale, mystery boxes and the Heracross phone!
When you use the Heracross phone, you can call any Pokemon you want. Usually people will pick Lucario, but nothing stops you from calling Heracross or Sandslash even though they're already in the house! And if you call Sandslash or Heracross something funny happens.
> Also I would like to thank you for making this game, the one review I made on it alone re-sparked an academic journalism I had thought I had lost, specifically gaming journalism.
Wow that's cool, it's so funny how stuff like that gets lost sometimes! I'm glad I could help you out in some small way~
This has honestly some of the best character dialogue I've seen written in a while. Some of the pokemons' dialogue is so charming and genuine, that it feels like I'm talking to another living human being. I wouldn't be surprised if some real life inspiration went into this dialogue, because it just feels that real, oozing with personality and and understanding of real life scenarios (one conversation that comes to mind is Buizel's falling out with their friends from high-school and living in the mid-west when their LGBTQ+). Also, the banter between pokemon has genuinely made me laugh (the Charmelelon bit with Grimer and some of the Rhydon skits got me).
This game made me literally stop masturbating because the dialogue was so fucking good. How the fuck do you pull something like that off?
10/10, came for the porn, stayed for the characters, and came from the porn (its so good).
Wowwwwww thank you! You're right, that's exactly what I was going for with the character dialogue -- I wanted them to feel like real people with real problems who are just your friends in this little video game. Not everything they say is very sexy (and some people have actually complained that their dialogue ruined the mood) but I think it helps flesh them out and make them feel like real people, and not just animated gifs that you click until they cum.
Ha ha Grimer's such a goofball, I'm not sure if they really belong in this game but I'm so glad I included them! I wanted to include a lot of moments which surprised people, where I put something in the game they'd never expect. I hope I did a few things like that for you~
Thanks so much for playing my game, I'm glad you enjoy it so much!!
sorry for late reply internet was out but yeah I did
when it first happened I was using the site, but after the download it did it again but even though it crashed the game still saved the interaction like a I had hit a secret save and quit button.
Wow that's so strange! I wonder what would cause it, just for you and just with Magnezone. ...Maybe it has something to do with their lightning effect? I think they're also one of the larger characters, so it could be a memory thing...
Been playing in browser for about 12 hours total now, mostly in novice since even 3 Pegs give me brain damage at times. Managed to beat 4 Pegs twice but no way ill do 5 lmao.
What is unfortunate for me is that the Version for Windows is not compatible with my PC as it is a 32 Bit System.
Another thing that is going on, sometimes the game seems to softlock. Usually happens with sandslash/lucario, need to refresh page to play again. Only happens when NSFW is active. Tho in the backrooms i can still interact with sandslash. Lucario on the other hand gives my browser an 'oh no' error every time, seemingly unable to load. Dunno why, maybe a thing specific to my phone? Playing on an Galaxy S6 so it aint the newest model lul, is anyone else having issues with certain mons?
I'm sorry about the soft locks! It probably has to do with some resources not getting cleaned up or something like that. I tracked down a ton of those errors but there's probably still one or two left. The HTML5 version is the most susceptible, i think the windows version is a little better at dealing with it
I'm glad you're enjoying the game, you can still play with most of the pokemon on the novice puzzles... sandslash is the best one anyways!! and they hate 4-peg puzzles as much as you ha ha~
I swapped with abra after I got the “good” ending first and it feels so wrong I feel really bad
Like Abra still doesn’t regret anything after the switch, and it feels like neither of us even tried to fight the change, and the way I blend into the group is so odd to me, definitely seems like the bad ending. Neither I nor Abra really learn anything in that ending, it’s really sad
I mean it sounds like you both got what you wanted! Maybe it's not a perfect ending but I swapped too and I like to imagine Abra is having fun in my human body, even if they're not quite as clever as they used to be. (Maybe that is why it is taking so long for me to code a second game! Ha ha~)
AI means many things, but the game already has AI during the minigames.
If you want an AI where you can talk to the characters organically, I've tried recreating them in character.ai website! It is kind of fun but it didn't do a great job copying their personalities -- and it doesn't understand the nuances of the game, so it often talks about weird Pokemon stuff like their trainers or how cramped it is in their pokeball.

that will make this game a 10-10
add eevee and all the eeveelushons
the password thing doesn't work
Do you intend to add more mons, and if so when and who would you add?
sorry the game is complete! adding new pokemon is a lot of work, and it would be very complicated and difficult to add new pokemon without breaking the password system
Thanks for letting me know!
i love this game
I wish after the game that Pokemon visit ther frends in the game like nidoking just moch moor Pokemon please its a 10 . 10 game for me
Yeah, I wish Nidoking came to visit sometimes! But I can't imagine having him and Rhydon in the same house... I'd need to program bigger text boxes just for all the shouting!
Yeah but it will be funny
hey i love the game i have nearly 8 hours at ~40% completion rate.
just a few questions i had;
how long till you get the red dildo in shop? it seems pretty rare lol
also what is the tablet/pad in the top right (i saw screenshots of it in the sex help guide). i dont have that icon on my game so i was just wondering
thxxx
also another question; lucario ran out of the room crying about an odor? is that the libido incense? can i not have it on max all the time?
Some of the characters are more sensitive than others about Grimer's smell! Some if them will not play with you at all, or some of them will just need a short break.
There are certain gloves you can buy that prevent the smell, if you use them with Grimer! They are the gloves with the lightning bolt. (Or you can just not play with grimer, I GUESS)
ah i see thanks for the help
really love this game btw .. i originally didnt care for the puzzles but now arguably play this game more so for the sake of cracking them rather than the sex LOL
last reply i swearr;
just completed the game w/end credits lol i didnt realize i was bottlenecking the shop by not purchasing items.
was fun! 11hours at 97~%
congratulations on finishing the game!! 🎉 i'm glad you thought it was fun~
There is no trick to getting the red dildo, you just have to wait for Heracross to put it in stock! It will show up faster if you buy more of the other items. (But make sure you can afford it when it shows up! It is expensive and rare.)
The tablet/pad is another item you can buy! It is also quite expensive and rare.
Hey! I'm back! I'm really enjoying the mobile version thus far! It runs like a charm, and is still just as fun as before! Keep up the great work, I wish you luck in any future projects.
Thank you, I'm so glad to hear that!
Hey, love the game but are the logic puzzles based off anything preexisting? Would love a physical version of the puzzles or a completely pokemon/nsfw free version to share with friends and family. This is one of the first logic puzzle games that I've been able to fully understand and have a great time with.
there is a SFW mode
go to options and there is one for regarding SFW
It is based on Master Mind! If you google something like "play master mind online" you will probably find a lot of websites which will give you puzzles.
The biggest difference, is that in Monster Mind the guesses are all made for you -- so you have to be very clever and very efficient! When you play online, you can make a lot of silly guesses and you will probably always win, even if you are not very clever.

But with Abra's help, I now understand it's actually one guess too many. If you're clever, you can always solve it!
Holy cow, thanks a ton, should be fun even though I do like your version better!
I enjoyed this quite a bit, even if the puzzle annoyed me a bit in the harder levels I (mostly) started to get the hang of things. Too bad it was only a game tho, shatter my dreams
yeah, it would be nice if Pokemon existed in real life! but for me, most of my friends are online anyway. the difference is not as big as you might expect!
Is there a way I can play this on my tablet or does it only work for a computer?
if you have an android tablet, there is an APK you can install! it is provided in the downloads
I have an apple do it’s IOS
Oh okay! Nobody has built an iOS version yet. iOS development is very expensive, very difficult and it is illegal unless you pay apple a lot of money for a specific kind of computer. I'm sorry!
The game is open source, so if you know somebody with a lot of money (or maybe someone who is already an iOS developer) then maybe they can port it!
Hey a bunch of recent activity and a playable browser version, super cool. This was always one of my favorites.
Yeah, we've got some other small changes coming to the android version next month too! It would be a shame if this game died with Flash, I'm glad to keep it alive. It's a very special game
Yeah I have a flash emulator and an swf file of it, but it's good to know you're keeping it accessible!
I have a question added more characters such as a milktank,nidora,aagron?
And as a suggestion if you add the mouth or tongue separate them so it could give to more interactions like:
With the mouth:kisses,pacifiers,bites,oral play.
And with the tongue, licking, tongue games, linguistic penetration and so on.
I've seen other games would offer more interaction options, that would be cool! It would be a little strange thematically with the game, since it would imply Abra just created something like a floating tongue which floats around and salivates everywhere, ha ha. But who knows!
I see I didn't know that works like that I don't know if there was a history.😮 well in that sense open reluctantly could generate a portal between both places for these parts.so you don't have to put so much effort opening such a large portal or maybe by synchronized mind using a psytic connection to emulate the senses of both and by mentally manifested organs could be carried out(although I think only with the penis could) in the case one could well given that is unleashing our potential psy which using us as a catalyst I think it could be done once we already have a certain level.
yeah, that's a cool idea! a small portal so that your body parts can go through it.
Whenever you need innovative ideas or feel that content is lacking you can count on me 🫡
On the Android version, I got into a heated convo with Abra that included Sandlash and I thought I made Abra REALLY mad!
App restarted fine and I was able to continue as normal, but seems like I've skipped the puzzle / scene.
Wow that's some scary stuff! You don't think Abra....? You don't think they would... ..
I really enjoy this simple game, obviously want more mons Zoroark, Mew, Charizard just a few that come right to mind. Also would be cool if some would solo themselves for you or do sandslash does when you mess with butt right, make sense to tie it with horny meter. Also possible some mons enjoy butt stuff more sometimes leading to the climax or like I said before, they finish themselves kinda like Grovyle if they are into it. Abra would make sense with the current build. Either way enjoy the game hope for more.
I was thinking about soloing thing. max meter touch them for a little and stop. Instead of it ending they get frustrated (Abra) or lustful (sandslash) and solo themselves. IDK you are pretty good at mixing stuff up so you do you :)
Keep up the great work!!!
Those are some cool ideas! Sometimes Grovyle plays with themselves, I'm not sure if you've seen that or not.
Thanks so much! 😀
this is a rly cool game, great concept, well designed puzzles, great animation and really engaging writing. all the characters are really charming and the systems are really fun to figure out. i do have one suggestion about the dialog system.
so im a trans woman, my first try in the opening i picked "its complicated" and while most of the pronouns were they/them i did get he'd a couple times. (i specifically remember heracross saying it but it mightve happened other places).

its a really cool game, its engaging and sexy and challenging and cute and funny and charming and i really enjoy it! thank you so much for all the work you put in and for sharing it publicly like you have. i hope my grievance doesnt come off as hate, i really like the game and even if the change i suggested is too much work to implement or you simply arent interested in making that kind of change ill still recommend it to my friends cus i think its real cool.
Thank you, i totally agree with the sentiment of inclusion and respecting the pronoun and genital preferences of all players! But unfortunately in the present day, video games are written by people in machine code, and considerations like these require more people, smarter people, and more complicated code. I promise i did try really hard!!
The game is open-source if you happen to remember some of the specific places where you got "he'd", or if you want to expand the game to include separate preferences for genitals/gender, expand the dialog choices, or even offer alternate more complex pronouns, or let the Pokemon themselves be non-binary. The possibilities are only limited by your free time, patience and technical expertise!

If you want to fix those dialogue typos, here are the two classes which include about 99% of Heracross's dialogue in the entire game (except for the places where they show up during other pokemon's puzzles.) If you remember the exact thing they said, you can just CTRL+F it and find it really quickly!
https://gitgud.io/argonvile/monster-mind/-/blame/main/source/poke/hera/HeraDialog.hx?ref_type=heads#L927
For example line 927 here, Heracross talks about abra and says "...if he..." and then line 950 includes the alternate female dialogue "...if she...". Maybe there are some mistakes or oversights! It's also possible you misread the dialogue, and they were talking about a male Pokemon in the game, but you thought they were talking about you instead. I'm not sure! Let me know if you find anything I should fix.
I'm sorry for your negative experiences with my game! Let me know if there's anything concrete I can do to remedy them.
thank you for the kind response, i personally have no coding knowledge whatsoever, but its really cool that these things are possible, thank you!
Did it! (2 hour long painful braingasm)
holy crap, congratulations!!
whoa that's crazy! it looks kind of cool though... i wonder what's happening? all the colors are present but they're just shifted 180 degrees around the color wheel
it happening across the entire game, could it because im using bluestacks on a mac, but other games ive played on bluestacks dont have that issue :p, js kinda curious
Yeah no clue, let me know if you figure anything out! That's crazy
whenever i try to load the game from the browser the game just freezes once I tap anywhere. I am playing on iPhone so maybe that’s why but the game loads just fine. Usually I’m not able to open the game at all
Oh, I'm sorry! It's a pretty resource intensive game, so I'm not sure if there's much I can do to improve that. The game is open source if you or anybody else have any ideas for how to improve the performance or prevent the freezing.
Holy shit, you can play it on Android now !? This amazing ! Thank you so Argonvile !
You're welcome, say hello to all of my Pokemon friends! They've been waiting to see you again 😀
Man, the addition of this game on Android was the best thing in the world! In fact, I managed to solve the problem! It was just a little problem with my phone, nothing big, sorry for bothering you. (nice game)
I don't understand what that means, "the game comes out of nowhere" -- does that mean like you're using Youtube and the game pops up or something like that?
is there a way for the glove to go completely inside in any way? Just asking for clarification, that way anyone with the same question doesn't have to ask as well
Some people have reported that kind of problem happening occasionally with Sandslash but I haven't seen it myself! You might see if you can reproduce it... If anybody, it seems like they'd be the type!
Made an account here just to say I absolutely adore this game. The characters are so interesting, especially Heracross my beloved I wanna kiss him <3
It's SO fun, I'm Ace and Sex repulsed but still have fun playing because even the sex is a puzzle and it's fun to figure out solutions! Thanks so much for not only making but maintaining such an amazing game!
Heracross is such a little sweetie! I love them too, they're so needy but they're always stuck running the shop. If you ever solve puzzles with them, and find the secret room in the shop after -- you should spend some time there and make their day 💜
I'm glad you find the sex parts of the game interesting, and I'll be curious if there's a specific character in the game that eventually resonates with you a little! I'm asexual myself and there may or may not be an asexual character in the game, it's left up to interpretation. But the game is very sex-positive and everyone in the game enjoys their time with you, so I hope you continue visiting with them to say hello 😀
I hope ter will be more Pokémon one day
Some people on the Discord have started working on new Pokemon, but it is such a big undertaking! Nobody has ever finished
Sadly it's a nice game but a few new Pokemon we're perfekt
And I don't understand the Tier 2 and 3 puzzles😅
They're very difficult, Grovyle provides tutorials for the other kinds of puzzles if you click the "Tutorial" button on the main menu! There are different tutorials for every difficulty, and Grovyle walks you through some steps and tools which make them a lot easier.
They are still very difficult though, even with Grovyle's help! It is a difficult game. Don't be afraid to ask Abra for hints!
The girl already sent me to hell 😂😂😂😂.
Question can I fuck the girls? My hand is going to fall off.
I could also use my mouth or tongue to leave hickeys or even kissing.
Sorry, you have to make do with just the glove for now! Although if you save up money you can also buy sex toys such as dildos in the shop.
Sep but I feel bad for them for not being able to give them more affection.😢
Why are they game is lagging already finish with the green guy but i dont gei the coin and the scene
oh no, i'm sorry! i'm not sure, i haven't seen that before
for android build, it seems you need Android NDK r15c and a supported JDK, apparently 11, but you also have to fix the compilation of pcre using these changes https://github.com/HaxeFoundation/hxcpp/pull/1042/files because it won't compile otherwise
other than these I followed the same instructions on your gitgud page, just with `lime setup android` at the end of the installs, and you need to install the prereqs and assign the directories it asks for (Android SDK, Android NDK [from above], and Java JDK)
and I actually managed to get a compiled version on my phone from that
I successfully imported my save from html version too
it seems like the bugs I've found so far are: sweat and cum are black, I assume same problem as the windows builds had before the fixes? , the game is not centered on the screen, and has empty space on the right side with no bg in puzzles and the menu, but pegbugs can sit there, and the rank question box is offset from its button hitboxes
I don't know if this is a bug or not, but imported saves seem to default all pokemon to female, was it always like that?
I hope it's okay if I keep listing things here just in case anybody knows how to fix them: Magnezone's button panel has broken graphics (haxeflixel logo instead of button logo), and the red button crashes the game
I fixed the rank buttons, not sure what to do about the other problems though
how to use the toy when he always say cant
Sorry, not every pokemon can use every toy! But, every pokemon can use some toys, and every toy can be used by some pokemon. Try different combinations!
I was curious about something, how difficult would it be to port this to Android? Would it pretty much require an entire rewrite or is it possible to port one of the binary builds somehow? The game really works perfectly on phone with the HTML build but if it were somehow possible to get a native build that would be great. I'm not saying you need to do it because I understand this project is pretty much done, but I'm curious how difficult it might be
https://gitgud.io/argonvile/monster-mind/
it's written in something called "HaxeFlixel" which can cross compile to android, but the process for getting your computer set up to build to android is pretty hard! I spent a few days trying to get it working but couldn't do it. Maybe you can figure it out!
if I do end up trying to port this, do you have a list of things you usually test to make sure things are working?
There's no laws against pokemons Batman
NO JOKER... YOU CAN'T. THEY ARE ANIMALS, JOKER...
I kinda have a problem. It isn't that serious though so I just want to know if there is a way to fix it. So i made an account in the game but i accidentally closed my tab. When i tried to log into the game again, the game took away half my progress which is like my items and probably my rank. If there is a way to solve this I would really like to know but if it isn't possible that's fine too.
Sorry, I don't know how to fix that kind of a problem! You can screenshot your password in the future, which will save most of your progress including your items and your rank. Otherwise it's sort of up to the browser what it saves and what it purges, and I can't really control it
Nah it's totally fine. The game is great btw
thanks a lot!!! 🌈
I bought up all the mystery boxes. How am I supposed to live now? Now I won't be able to spend my money anywhere...
P.S. Lucario can now really cum from a huge dildo. Now I can buy boxes again, hooray!
holy smokes that's amazing! i still haven't bought that many yet... did you also find THE THING? (in one of the boxes?)
If you mean the Pikachu Shocker, then yes.
Wow congrats that's nuts, you must have opened so many boxes!!! Some people don't even think it exists ha ha~
So, I'm addicted to this game, not even for the porn in it, just the characters and puzzle aspect have me so entranced with it, that when I do get to the more horny parts I kinda skip over them to see if I can get any more of that juicy lore. I downloaded the game four days ago, I've been grinding it and have made it to 33 hours played on it, I'm going for 100 hours to see if I have missed anything. I'm doing this to get a more concrete standing in this game then just one really good playthrough. But for now, I'll rank this game in four categories, Gameplay, Story (I know some games don't have a story, but this one does), Graphics (I don't necessarily care about this so I might grade this low, but just know its because some games have really good graphics and it would be a disservice not to include it), And finally, the PORN (I know this isn't in most games, but this one has it so I include it). Understand this is just my opinion so if you disagree with me please explain why.
Gameplay: Really well balanced, the progression of puzzle difficultly was made so smooth and the choice of doing the tutorials give the player the freedom of choosing to learn the puzzles by trial and error, Abra's hints are actually good, the only major difficultly spike in the game is when you go from NOVICE to 3 PEG, but it doesn't take that long to understand and if your really confused by it, try the tutorial, it might help. The minigames are a completely different story, all three are very simple, good but simple, now I think the most complicated of the three is the peg balancing game because it requires quick math reflexes, tug-of-war is a simple concept but in this game it gives it a bit of a twist and the stair game I don't want to talk about it because I have a negative bias towards it that might be completely unwarranted. In total I give the gameplay a 9/10.
Story: I didn't pay much attention to the story until the end with Abra, I don't want to spoil the end too much, but my favorite character, Buizel, has some good character backstory and personality that makes the character so lovable, which makes sense cosidering that some of the pokemon are based on the creator of the game, ArgonVile (Hope you read this), experiences as well as their friends, too. I give it a 8.5/10
Graphics: This category does not treat this game well but I like to think the pixel art does this game well, makes it seem more simple, enticing, the same effect the game Terraria has on people that like pixel art. Although I like the stylistic choice of Pixel art but now and days most people care way to much about graphics, so its a good thing I don't care about them right now, my opinion so I give it 8/10
PORN: ArgonVile actually cooked on this one, you can choose which gender you want all the pokemon to be and not only that but It changes dialog and the animations to them. The time and effort ArgonVile put into just this one part of the game puts me in awe, even baffled to think about the amount of willpower needed to do such a feat. Now I'm not trying to belittle the other parts of the game, but drawing porn and then animating it then coding it to work then testing it to see if it works is a long process. Oh, before I forget to mention, the porn, sex part? Sure, imma call it that, is really smooth and well made, not to realistic but the reactions you get from the pokemon is well coded. this is an easy 10/10, makes sense for a well made porn game.
Ending statement: According to my scoring I give this game a 35.5/40 or in a percentile form, a 88%, I would say that would be above average. Now that I'm at an hour and twenty minutes of typing this, my final thoughts come down to, Me LiKe GaMe, VeRy FuN, and in all seriousness, Good job to ArgonVile for making a beautifully crafted game. :D
P.S. I'm using what the actual genders of the pokemon are, not whatever I prefer as it makes more sense.
Wow thanks for the detailed review! It's unusual for games to balance porn and gameplay, but I wanted both parts to be good so that players would feel rewarded for their gameplay and not just want to skip to the porn. But you're right, I've seen MUCH better looking graphics in porn game and some of the stuff people do is insane!! But I'm very happy with Monster Mind and I'm blown away you've played it for 33 hours.
If you're looking for extra things you haven't finished yet -- many people overlook giving Grimer one of their dildos to eat, and many people overlook calling Sandslash on the Heracross phone. And, some people overlook playing with Pokemon in Heracross's back room! All things are unnecessary to complete the game, but there's some funny dialog and special scenes if you do them.
If it makes it any better, I just hit 60 hours played and definitely will be recommending to others, thanks for responding though, the one thing you mentioned people overlooking is calling sandslash on the heracross phone? How do I do that? Also, I'm going to make and even longer and more detailed review about your game, I think I missed a few topics and other things I should have talked about that now playing the game through a second time helped me remembered. Also I would like to thank you for making this game, the one review I made on it alone re-sparked an academic journalism I had thought I had lost, specifically gaming journalism. But thanks for your opinion and helpful hints inside your game I'll definitely try to make anyone of my saves hit 100% at some point.
> How do I do that?
Make sure you let Grimer eat one of your dildos at some point -- then, after buying all the items in the shop and Heracross should only have two things for sale, mystery boxes and the Heracross phone!
When you use the Heracross phone, you can call any Pokemon you want. Usually people will pick Lucario, but nothing stops you from calling Heracross or Sandslash even though they're already in the house! And if you call Sandslash or Heracross something funny happens.
> Also I would like to thank you for making this game, the one review I made on it alone re-sparked an academic journalism I had thought I had lost, specifically gaming journalism.
Wow that's cool, it's so funny how stuff like that gets lost sometimes! I'm glad I could help you out in some small way~
Aight this might sound weird but bear with me...
This has honestly some of the best character dialogue I've seen written in a while. Some of the pokemons' dialogue is so charming and genuine, that it feels like I'm talking to another living human being. I wouldn't be surprised if some real life inspiration went into this dialogue, because it just feels that real, oozing with personality and and understanding of real life scenarios (one conversation that comes to mind is Buizel's falling out with their friends from high-school and living in the mid-west when their LGBTQ+). Also, the banter between pokemon has genuinely made me laugh (the Charmelelon bit with Grimer and some of the Rhydon skits got me).
This game made me literally stop masturbating because the dialogue was so fucking good. How the fuck do you pull something like that off?
10/10, came for the porn, stayed for the characters, and came from the porn (its so good).
Wowwwwww thank you! You're right, that's exactly what I was going for with the character dialogue -- I wanted them to feel like real people with real problems who are just your friends in this little video game. Not everything they say is very sexy (and some people have actually complained that their dialogue ruined the mood) but I think it helps flesh them out and make them feel like real people, and not just animated gifs that you click until they cum.
Ha ha Grimer's such a goofball, I'm not sure if they really belong in this game but I'm so glad I included them! I wanted to include a lot of moments which surprised people, where I put something in the game they'd never expect. I hope I did a few things like that for you~
Thanks so much for playing my game, I'm glad you enjoy it so much!!
Magnezone keeps crashing my game
first it happened mid dialog and the second time happened mid red button smash
oh no, i'm sorry! if you haven't tried downloading the game for windows, it seems a lot more stable than the web version.
sorry for late reply internet was out but yeah I did
when it first happened I was using the site, but after the download it did it again but even though it crashed the game still saved the interaction like a I had hit a secret save and quit button.
Wow that's so strange! I wonder what would cause it, just for you and just with Magnezone. ...Maybe it has something to do with their lightning effect? I think they're also one of the larger characters, so it could be a memory thing...
Been playing in browser for about 12 hours total now, mostly in novice since even 3 Pegs give me brain damage at times. Managed to beat 4 Pegs twice but no way ill do 5 lmao.
What is unfortunate for me is that the Version for Windows is not compatible with my PC as it is a 32 Bit System.
Another thing that is going on, sometimes the game seems to softlock. Usually happens with sandslash/lucario, need to refresh page to play again. Only happens when NSFW is active. Tho in the backrooms i can still interact with sandslash. Lucario on the other hand gives my browser an 'oh no' error every time, seemingly unable to load. Dunno why, maybe a thing specific to my phone? Playing on an Galaxy S6 so it aint the newest model lul, is anyone else having issues with certain mons?
Great Game by the way, wish i found this earlier.
I'm sorry about the soft locks! It probably has to do with some resources not getting cleaned up or something like that. I tracked down a ton of those errors but there's probably still one or two left. The HTML5 version is the most susceptible, i think the windows version is a little better at dealing with it
I'm glad you're enjoying the game, you can still play with most of the pokemon on the novice puzzles... sandslash is the best one anyways!! and they hate 4-peg puzzles as much as you ha ha~
I swapped with abra after I got the “good” ending first and it feels so wrong I feel really bad
Like Abra still doesn’t regret anything after the switch, and it feels like neither of us even tried to fight the change, and the way I blend into the group is so odd to me, definitely seems like the bad ending. Neither I nor Abra really learn anything in that ending, it’s really sad
I mean it sounds like you both got what you wanted! Maybe it's not a perfect ending but I swapped too and I like to imagine Abra is having fun in my human body, even if they're not quite as clever as they used to be. (Maybe that is why it is taking so long for me to code a second game! Ha ha~)
Could you try add in AI, if is it even possible just asking.
AI means many things, but the game already has AI during the minigames.
If you want an AI where you can talk to the characters organically, I've tried recreating them in character.ai website! It is kind of fun but it didn't do a great job copying their personalities -- and it doesn't understand the nuances of the game, so it often talks about weird Pokemon stuff like their trainers or how cramped it is in their pokeball.
