Pokémon Tropica
Introduction
Well, I started creating Pokémon Tropica some time around January, 2006, it was going well, systems were completed,
many events maps, sprites, etc. were made. Things looked really well for it, until one day my hardrive just went
crazy, I couldn't get onto Windows XP, thus losing all thw work I had on it, I did have a backup, but that was from
extremely early stages. As a I wallowed in sadness, I decided to give up making Pokémon Tropica. And in the void
between January and now I've just been making small projects, a few games, that never got completed. But finally
I have my inspiration to make it again, and let me say; looking back at the old Tropica...it was, well...horrible.
This time I've already gotten further story wise, map wise, my maps are imrpoved, my characters aren't just
mindless drones, and even now that Cascade Gonpory is designing all the new 100 Pokémon for me, that area is
looking good aswell! Tropica has never been better, and I feel even more inspired to make this, than I used
to be with the old Tropica.
Story
It's the Hero's birthday, and Professor Redwood gives the Hero a new Pokémon, however,
the tragic death of his mum on his birthday fours ago still haunts him. Feeling guilty
about this, and thikning it's his fault, he always closes up his feelings, and has been
having confidnce problems ever since. Professor Redwood asks the hero to come to Verdure
Path the day after your birthday, he gives you this mysterious stone. He tells you it's
special to him, and he wants you to look after it while he goes away to see an old
friend, Prof. Elm. To the player's suprise two mysterious people come up to them, dressed
in black and and kidnap Professor redwood using strange teleportation powers. You try
to protect Professor Elm using your new Pokémon, but fail. They spare your life but
you pass out. The next thing you know you wake up in your bed, you go to one of Prof.
Redwood's assistants and tel lhim what happened, and they conclude that the only
clues to his wheareabouts and who those people were as that stone and Prof. Elm.
So, as you set off to Seir City to get to Johto and find Prof. Elm, what other adventures
lay ahead...?
