Pokemon: Fire & Ice

[timehollow]

INTRO

In the Ancient Past, the world was split in half into two regions: The rocky volcanic land of Ran, and the icy glaciers of Giga. Two Pokemon ruled over each area, Heatran and Regigigas respectively. One day came, and the two had an epic battle. The Pokemon of both sides started waging war against each other. The humans were helpless as their world was destroyed.

There was this man, who wanted to end the war. Making use of a powerful spell with the power of a Lucario, he made all the Pokemon small-sized, ending the conflict...



The region of Caballa is a beautiful green land. However, the Pokemon over there are all miniature in size. This is your story of your adventure into this place.

FEATURES

Spoiler

Interactive turn-based tactical battles against other trainers! Now battles are more about strategy and skill than Pokemon prowess!

With eharper256's Dynamic Time System (slightly modified), travel around Caballa and encounter different Pokemon at different times! No more random, irritating encounters in long grass! You choose who or when you fight!

Unique capturing system! After engaging a Wild Pokemon, make use of toys and foods to form a bond with them, after which you can capture them!

Special Move Learning System
Each Pokemon has five slots for five different moves! Depending on the moves you equip, your Pokemon can instantaneously change the attacks they have!

NPC Intimacy/ Dating Sim System
I still haven't decided to add this or not, but I think it might make the game more fun. Form relationships with other female Pokemon characters or just the random NPC you meet, and you may gain tips to the locations/time of appearance of certain rare pokemon in the game!

Definitely will be a unique Pokemon experience. I was wondering why the trainers seem huge until I read the story, now it makes sense.

The only comment I have is that the trainers are too big IMO. The doorway in one of the screenshots is much shorter than the actual character. Either the world needs to be enlarged to compensate or the character needs to be normal size and you can shrink the Pokemon. Also it seems you are using RMXP tilesets, you going to use a Pokemon tileset or stick with the existing ones?

I like the idea of having different Pokemon at different times, I have considered using something similar in my own game too. How far into this project are you?

Also 75,000 damage?! You crazy!

 

[timehollow]

Haha, yeah, I think I need to edit the character sets and tilesets a bit.
I think I'll be using the RMXP tilesets so it'll be more unique.

I've got the systems pretty much done so the only thing I have to do now is to set up the game itself hahaz. But I'm having problems deciding the starter Pokemon. I'm trying to decide if I should give choices or just give the player a Pokemon, maybe Shinx.

And the 75000 damage was just to test out the battle system a bit, haha.

I love the batte system idea if pulled well might make the game alot more interesting =)
, I don't like the graphics, RTP + POkemon Graphics = FAIL since your graphics clash like hell, use only pokemon graphics.

Also , your story is cliche, but not pokemon cliché lol, you took most of elements of the other Rpg type and stuck it in this pokemon story, Team Dark wants to take over the world.. more orginal name? Don't interpret me wrong, I think it might be ok if you try hard and make it interesting and deep.

Its a nice concept, but you should really change the graphics.
Good Luck, have a nice day.

 

[timehollow]

Yeah, I think I'll use Kyledove's Sinnoh tilesets so that it doesn't look weird.

And the Dark Four part is just a small section, its sort of like the part where you get used to the game, kind of the gym badge collecting part in normal pokemon games. A small part of the game. After foiling them which doesn't take too long because when you fight them, their level range will be about 30~40, the second part involves helping a Pokemon Ranger save the Region from Darkrai, who has hypnotised other Legendary Pokemon under its command. This part will involve Professor Oak's time machine.

Don't worry, the overall story will be awesome. Involving a lot of conspiracies and other mysteries. But all the questions SHOULD be answered by the end of the game.

And the final part:

Spoiler

Arceus tries to destroy all humans and you must stop it.

Also, remeber that indoors maps should have those black borders (autotile or something like that) instead of being huge, empty squares.

The concept is very interesting. You just need some better graphics - RTP doesn't really fit the Pokémon graphs. Change either and you'll be OK.

Err, please say you actually got permission to use all that artwork in your logo?

 

[timehollow]

I got them off Deviantart and Photobucket. If its not allowed, I can take the pic down.

 

[Sirolu]

*Sigh*, i wanted to make a game like this, i am not good enough to do it at RPG Maker, well, better stick with Game Maker.

uh... huh? Why would you bump a topic that's almost a year old just to say this? I think it's kind of silly, don't you? Besides, the OP hasn't been to this site since last Septemer, so I don't think you'll be getting much of a response.
