I stayed up all night playing this. Very wholesome and cute. I played it twice because the first time, I didn't get any H-scene. There was a point where I could've gotten one, but I was so far ahead that I wanted to just finish to see the ending, then start over with the focus to get all the H-scenes. Very worthwhile.
Seriously, thanks for making the MCs Pokémon Scyther. When I was a kid it was my favorite Pokémon because my little 7 year old brain couldn't imagine anything cooler than a ninja dinosaur bug with swords for arms. Even now I still have a major soft spot for bug types.
He's a total bro. By the end I was more invested in being the very best like no one ever was with Scyther then I was in dating Dawn. That's not to say i didn't enjoy the romances writing but Scyther was definitely the part of the VN I enjoyed the most.
Anyway, thanks for making this and I'm looking forward to reading your other works and version 1.1.
She is a mega cutie, so how could anyone resist worshipping her? Totally unrelated, I'll have to go on a pokemon watching / playing spree. Specifically diamond, pearl and platinum. Official dawn games! Also maybe brilliant diamond, should I get yuzu running again.
hey ive been reading your tweets, glad to see work starting up on a new Dawn again! Im considering donating too haha. Just a question, is there plans for a Dawn POV? Would absolutely love to see that!
Multiple people have suggested that, I might give it a shot but I haven't figured out how to do it very well. It'd likely be a one-off of its own if I did.
Ah okay! In terms of what it could be about, it would be cool to see the major moments that happen in a New Dawn but in Dawn's POV and her thoughts, just a suggestion. Keep up the great work!
Honestly this game was a beautiful experience and I was really disappointed that it came to an end 😭
I've always adored Dawn, now I do so even more. I didn't encounter any nsfw content throughout the narrative, I may have forgot to turn it on, but I was absolutely hooked on the story regardless and really, REALLY hope we'll get some more content one day 😍
there's some lewd stuff in the cruise plot, but there's a hidden affection stat you gotta increase by doing stuff. i'd say just check out this walkthrough though, it explains everything pretty well
Yo dude, i appreciate your hardwork creating this masterpiece, i love it so much that i can play this game over and over again without getting tired of it! I ain't even watching pokemon but dang this made started the series just to see dawn. Dude I don't even get it why some people don't like this game (they're probably expected that this game is more onto sexual stuff.) like im telling you man this game is fucking awesome!
Keep up the work man, hopefully the 1.1 update will come out this year, don't stress yourself up dawg.
Dang the creator replied, well i just looked up to some comments a long time ago. I don't even understand why the guy was bragging about the graphics 💀 I'm fine with the way it is
hey man! Still playing through it because I just love it haha. Was wondering if the 1.1 release is still planned and coming out? Would love to see updated sprites and even new scenes/dialogue!
Will you be commissioning more for whenever you return to 1.1? About how long do you think the update will take, since you're working on other stuff right now?
After finally overcoming laziness and that weird thing that whenever i want to do something I postpone it forever and ever I finally played this game (used the walkthrough cause I am a wuss lol), And it was just as great as the other one, great story and great dialogue, and sex, that's fun too, all in all, great work my man, also cong rats on making it to f95
This was great! It's telling that I didn't get any spicy scenes the first time around and I still didn't feel terribly disappointed because it was so sweet as a romance in general. I was also very fond of all the art that seemed drawn and wish there was more of that rather than stuff pulled off r34, but I understand that with something this big made by one person with little to no budget there'll probably be some compromises.
I went back and replayed through using the walkthrough, but it seems I'm still missing an image from the gallery. It's the 6th image, right below Dawn playing ping pong, how do I get it?
Thanks mate :D I think you get that one if you haven't waifu'd her by the end of the contest, if you have enough affection with her. Then she pounces on you.
It has been quite a while since I played A New Dawn for the first time, but even after all this time I like to come back to the game every now and then.
Admittedly, I played it the first time because it was a Pokémon-based erotic VN, but your writing actually kept me playing despite me messing up the "best ending" in my first blind run. It may not be the most complex or original story in the world, but it just works. The fact that there is no real bad ending makes it much more fun for me to play with different paths too, and Dawn is just so loveable and cute here.
Wish I had more time and was more consistent with writing music, otherwise I'd love to support your project(s)!
Comentario en español, sinceramente hace mucho que no leo una Novela Visual tan buena, es muy tierna y linda y el Soundtrack de Katawa Shoujo queda buenisimo, 10/10 definitivamente, tambien me lei el de Roxie y realmente espero que lo continues
what is the lowest dawn affection points you can have? I assume the "worst" ending is the scenes where you can't kiss her and end up traveling as just friends
ah okay i see. Also yeah I wouldn't like or finish with the bad endings but I do admit I would be curious to see how that would look. I guess the main one would be saying bye to Dawn and not traveling, but others like her not inviting you to her room and not seeing the flirting. Again wouldn't like that but would be curious to see how those scenes look
This game was amazing honestly I will be playing it again because dawn was just one of my favorite characters from the show and I just wanted to see what it would be like to battle and talk to her it honestly made me a little happy but the ending threw me off a little I would pay a lot of money for a part 2 or something so please is you're reading this the person who made this if you're reading this please at least put it consideration for a part 2 I bet it would make a lot of people including me happy
Does anyone know where I can find a list or website for more visual novels? I was lucky that I happened to come across this amazing visual novel and am looking for more just general pokemon visual novels
how do you win the battle against Dawn after the contest? I won the contest so I should have enough points right? the walkthrough doesn't explain how to win the battle
Hm, as far as I remember, the different things you decide to do with her in the coop battle can give you an edge in the last one. I honestly can't fully remember though.
This was a 10/10 to game and I wish that there was more to the story especially the ending where you go with Dawn on journeys and if you make the front decisions you can have sex with and all that but it's up to y'all just want to say that the game is great and I was kinda of sad that it ended
Hello! as there been any updates or progress to this? Just asking, I know you have been working on the new visual novel but would absolutely love to see this
wait you can? i still loved the ending i got but i was hoping for a kiss and relationship. how do I get the ending? do i have to follow the walkthrough but with lewd off?
I was promised wholesome and cute and thats exactly what i got, you did a amazing job, I even played the short 5 minutes part (i hope it is a teaser for a bigger project :3).
I really like the tone of the story, you manage to immerse the reader by making the main protagonist relatable and kind of shy and quirky, his chemistry with Dawn is adorable and it makes playing the game a really lighthearted and fun experience.
I also like that you didnt put bad endings or mean decisions in the game, i'm not against suffering the consequences for your actions in a visual novel but it is kinda sad when i have to choose the bad decisions to finish a game100% XD.
Again, nice job! Hope you have more prepared for us : D
Yeah I hear a lot about bad ends and how visual novels are all supposed to have them but it's just not what I was going for, this is happy happy fantasy fulfillment and everything goes perfect, Dawn loves you too much for there to be bad ends.
It's not like I haven't thought up a whole Unova adventure with Dawn but these things really take a lot more work and money than I expected. I can see making a sequel but the fact that I've taken over a year to make anything since this and it's turning out even shorter makes me wonder how long it'll be. Maybe when everyone's forgotten about it I'll come out with something.
And since the MC is a self-insert I'll take this as "I would be a perfect boyfriend for Dawn", so thank you and I agree.
This game is amazing, it is to me, the best love story i have ever played/read.
I can also kind of relate to the mc on some parts.
also this might be weird but most visual novels i don't read through, I just like looking at the art and the characters, but this is the first vn I read through and went back for more alternative parts of the story.
Really good, enjoyed the writing immensely. Would love some more story of progressing through Unova/getting ready for another event even if it just reuses artwork

I love these moments so much cause they are so funny and relatable at the same time
That's usually when I wake up
I stayed up all night playing this. Very wholesome and cute. I played it twice because the first time, I didn't get any H-scene. There was a point where I could've gotten one, but I was so far ahead that I wanted to just finish to see the ending, then start over with the focus to get all the H-scenes. Very worthwhile.
I don't remember if i commented here before.
But just wanted to say i loved this, was extremely adorable and i can feel how much you like Dawn, made me love her a lot too.
I'm gonna play unova nights soon too, hope it is as sweet and good.
And idk your plans but i hope you do more stuff with dawn someday, or my waifu Iris.
20/10 made me feel sad i don't have dawn as a gf.
Thanks friend :> yes iris a cute as well
Seriously, thanks for making the MCs Pokémon Scyther. When I was a kid it was my favorite Pokémon because my little 7 year old brain couldn't imagine anything cooler than a ninja dinosaur bug with swords for arms. Even now I still have a major soft spot for bug types.
Yes Scyther is best boy
Are you sure this one was cool enough for you though? He's a big dope
He's a total bro. By the end I was more invested in being the very best like no one ever was with Scyther then I was in dating Dawn. That's not to say i didn't enjoy the romances writing but Scyther was definitely the part of the VN I enjoyed the most.
Anyway, thanks for making this and I'm looking forward to reading your other works and version 1.1.
Amen 🙏
This is the best VN I've ever played, and I didn't know Dawn before. Never even watched Pokemon.
You are a great writer!
Also I love the "crucible of styles" thing. For me it just looks really great, adding to the flair even!
What do you mean by that?
Oh.
I meant the warning you give about the repurposed / reused sprites and backgrounds.
For me personally that kind of style is really charming :)
Oh cool, well glad it worked out.
Thanks friend :D I am happy to convert more to the church of dawnology.
She is a mega cutie, so how could anyone resist worshipping her? Totally unrelated, I'll have to go on a pokemon watching / playing spree. Specifically diamond, pearl and platinum. Official dawn games! Also maybe brilliant diamond, should I get yuzu running again.
Again thank you so much for making me notice her!
Hey im a big fan of your work please keep it up i it all especially the storytelling.
Hey, you said you're adding for 1.1. Does this include non lewd content too? For the story?
We'll have to see
interesting, looking forward to it!
like, insert a lewd content bro
hey ive been reading your tweets, glad to see work starting up on a new Dawn again! Im considering donating too haha. Just a question, is there plans for a Dawn POV? Would absolutely love to see that!
Multiple people have suggested that, I might give it a shot but I haven't figured out how to do it very well. It'd likely be a one-off of its own if I did.
It'd be really cool to see! And what do you mean by one-off?
A separate download
Ah okay! In terms of what it could be about, it would be cool to see the major moments that happen in a New Dawn but in Dawn's POV and her thoughts, just a suggestion. Keep up the great work!
major moments if not the whole game if possible haha
Honestly this game was a beautiful experience and I was really disappointed that it came to an end 😭
I've always adored Dawn, now I do so even more. I didn't encounter any nsfw content throughout the narrative, I may have forgot to turn it on, but I was absolutely hooked on the story regardless and really, REALLY hope we'll get some more content one day 😍
Oooh, I didn't even realise there was another part, I'd only done the cruise plot
there's some lewd stuff in the cruise plot, but there's a hidden affection stat you gotta increase by doing stuff. i'd say just check out this walkthrough though, it explains everything pretty well
https://rentry.co/anewdawnwalkthrough1_0
Turns out I did indeed have NSFW off the first time around, whoops!
Yo dude, i appreciate your hardwork creating this masterpiece, i love it so much that i can play this game over and over again without getting tired of it! I ain't even watching pokemon but dang this made started the series just to see dawn. Dude I don't even get it why some people don't like this game (they're probably expected that this game is more onto sexual stuff.) like im telling you man this game is fucking awesome!
Keep up the work man, hopefully the 1.1 update will come out this year, don't stress yourself up dawg.
I thought most people liked it well enough D:
Dang the creator replied, well i just looked up to some comments a long time ago. I don't even understand why the guy was bragging about the graphics 💀 I'm fine with the way it is
I'm just some guy I assure you
hey man! Still playing through it because I just love it haha. Was wondering if the 1.1 release is still planned and coming out? Would love to see updated sprites and even new scenes/dialogue!
Maybe some day. Don't wanna work on 2 things at once, especially with how slow I already work.
ah okay, looking forward to it!
just curious, is the new sprites you mentioned for 1.1 the same ones you used for 5 minute morning?
Yeah, Suitenan made some before he got too busy to waste his time on me anymore.
:(
Will you be commissioning more for whenever you return to 1.1? About how long do you think the update will take, since you're working on other stuff right now?
I'd like to but it might be weird having clashing art styles. I can't estimate how long things will take, really.
After finally overcoming laziness and that weird thing that whenever i want to do something I postpone it forever and ever I finally played this game (used the walkthrough cause I am a wuss lol), And it was just as great as the other one, great story and great dialogue, and sex, that's fun too, all in all, great work my man, also cong rats on making it to f95
Thanks mate <3

Thanks friend :> any support is always appreciated, you can tweet me any music you've got if you want.
do you ever think that you will add more to this game someday?
Possibly. I am a busy boy.
9/10, just wish it was longer.
Good stuff, very fucking sweet.
This is just so wholesome, even though I didn't like Dawn that much this VN made me fall in love with her.
Good work!
man playing through the game again, the ending is so beautiful. very well done, great job again!
Will you add more to the story its amazing
Comentario en español, sinceramente hace mucho que no leo una Novela Visual tan buena, es muy tierna y linda y el Soundtrack de Katawa Shoujo queda buenisimo, 10/10 definitivamente, tambien me lei el de Roxie y realmente espero que lo continues
Gracias amigo español :> Me alegro que hayas podido leerlo en inglés
just a question, what is the lowest dawn affection that you can get and what happens at the end? Like is the dialogue different?
Not really, I wasn't interested in adding any "bad" end stuff.
what is the lowest dawn affection points you can have? I assume the "worst" ending is the scenes where you can't kiss her and end up traveling as just friends
I don't know the exact number but yeah that sums it up
ah okay i see. Also yeah I wouldn't like or finish with the bad endings but I do admit I would be curious to see how that would look. I guess the main one would be saying bye to Dawn and not traveling, but others like her not inviting you to her room and not seeing the flirting. Again wouldn't like that but would be curious to see how those scenes look
Can't help but hope there's a sequel to this one day, extremely well written work.
it is genuinely upsetting how well written and heartwarming this wa
sorry
is there a "guide" for certain endings?
There's a walkthrough in the updates list.
Damn, ever since playing this a long time ago, ive been obsessed with cruise ships. I hope i get to go on one in the future.
They're probably overrated unless there's a cute pokegirl onboard.
Will there be a Android version?
There is
This game was amazing honestly I will be playing it again because dawn was just one of my favorite characters from the show and I just wanted to see what it would be like to battle and talk to her it honestly made me a little happy but the ending threw me off a little I would pay a lot of money for a part 2 or something so please is you're reading this the person who made this if you're reading this please at least put it consideration for a part 2 I bet it would make a lot of people including me happy
Maybe some day
Man I don't even watch Pokemon but this VN now tempting me to watch the show just so I can see Dawn again AGHHHHHH I WANT MORE DAMMIT
I'm going to have a severe Dawn withdrawal from this... I can already feel it.
Ooh boy that's got some rough symptoms too. I prescribe one Dawn smooch morning afternoon and evening.
Honestly I wish there was more to this game. Perfect storyline I was kinda disappointed when it ended. 10/10 would recommend.
Does anyone know where I can find a list or website for more visual novels? I was lucky that I happened to come across this amazing visual novel and am looking for more just general pokemon visual novels
hey just have a question
how do you win the battle against Dawn after the contest? I won the contest so I should have enough points right? the walkthrough doesn't explain how to win the battle
Hm, as far as I remember, the different things you decide to do with her in the coop battle can give you an edge in the last one. I honestly can't fully remember though.
Ah okay, do you know what choices in the last battle I have to make in order to win?
Oh god i really don't remember, I think if you do the tag team surf on piplup's wave you have an advantage when he whirlpools you in the last battle.
yeah youre right, i managed to get it. Thanks!
This was a 10/10 to game and I wish that there was more to the story especially the ending where you go with Dawn on journeys and if you make the front decisions you can have sex with and all that but it's up to y'all just want to say that the game is great and I was kinda of sad that it ended
这是一款很棒的游戏，我想知道游戏是否会继续更新，谢谢
Truly a wonderful VN. Very wholesome, 10/10 would play again (and did!).
you know, i would love to see this in Dawn's POV
just to see her thoughts and such
again incredible work here, i love this so so much :)
I thought about trying that, might add it at some point.
yes that would be amazing! would be really cute :)
Hello! as there been any updates or progress to this? Just asking, I know you have been working on the new visual novel but would absolutely love to see this
No plans right now, sorry.
Oh ok, is there plans in the future after your current work? Along with 1.1 possibly?
how do i get the lewd ending also the game was amazing lost track of time trying to fill out the art gallery
There's a walkthrough in the dev log
ok thank you
This. Is. AMAZING
I loved Dawn so much, so this is exactly what I've been looking for, for years
On top of that, you did an amazing job with this
It's so good, so well done and a fun story
Only thing, is there anyway for me to get together with Dawn without the lewd?
I'm not that interested in the lewd stuff, I want a pure fluff romance
Either way fantastic job, amazing work thank you!
You can turn lewdness off in the options. Then it's just smoochin' :>
wait you can? i still loved the ending i got but i was hoping for a kiss and relationship. how do I get the ending? do i have to follow the walkthrough but with lewd off?
With lewdness off it just skips the adult scenes, it should be all the same.
Ah okay that's great! One thing I hope gets added is more dating scenes
Like more scenes once you get into an official relationship
I was promised wholesome and cute and thats exactly what i got, you did a amazing job, I even played the short 5 minutes part (i hope it is a teaser for a bigger project :3).
I really like the tone of the story, you manage to immerse the reader by making the main protagonist relatable and kind of shy and quirky, his chemistry with Dawn is adorable and it makes playing the game a really lighthearted and fun experience.

10/10 I'm about to read through it again
Wow, high praise :> Thanks friend
Really good, enjoyed the writing immensely. Would love some more story of progressing through Unova/getting ready for another event even if it just reuses artwork
