Randomizer did not give me Koi, can I not progress? I can't swim.

Hey, doing my first randomizer run in new game+... I just finished the yellow-map-zone (sun temple? i forget the name) where you get Koi egg, so that I can swim into the beach zone. I did not receive a Koi egg. Did I receive a different mon with swim? I have ones with improved swimming but it's greyed out.

I'm really hoping I didn't donate the egg or something. I didn't really think about it--I skip all the cutscenes since it's my third playthrough. No idea what it gave me and I can't find anything that has swim.

If you beat Zosimos in the Sun Palace area, you should get a swimmer of some sort. If you like, feel free to list all eggs and monsters you have on-hand at this time.

Edit: Oh, new game plus. Yes, there is a known error on NG+ randomizer that can lead to the issue of improved swimming not being available.

Daaaang yeah there's no monsters other than Koi who grant regular swimming huh? None of my improved swimming mons work, though I have several. This is on my switch playthrough so I guess I just have to start over. Ah well.

Anything I can do differently to try to make sure it doesn't happen again? Should I not have had improved swimming monsters before getting to this part? Hmm.

Unfortunately, until this gets fixed in the next patch (going to be awhile still) it is advisable to not to Randomizer on NG+, only on a fresh file, to avoid this.
