Hehe, this is finally back! I love the new design of the battle system a lot. Replacing the PokeGear with a new device? That's smart work. I see you have brilliantly use the starter kit as a foundation to build new systems and such. This is definitely a great Pokemon fangame, every Pokemon fan should play this.

 

[mawk]

Um, wow, kira, way to be a completely obvious and treacle-sweet shill. You even work for this project! Seriously, do you have no shame? :x

There should be a rule against excessive shameless shilling or toadying, because I think I just threw up in my mouth a little.

Dude, can I ask you to maybe type your information out instead of using that annoying huge-ass image? It's a real bugger to load, and it doesn't lend anything special to the topic except for a grossly inflated loading time. A banner and smaller images as headers would suffice and probably even look a bit cooler.

This is all subjective stylistic stuff, so no massive earth-shattering disasters are going to happen because you ignore it. I just think that huge image is annoying and unnecessary.

 

[Mechz]

Aye, just wondering; Are you part of the competitive scene?

If so, have you made any effort to either nerf or buff the pokemon in the faux tiers? Such as giving a new useful move to a BL, or maybe dropping a BL's speed stat so it is forced into UU.

 

[OmegaGroudon]

@Chimmy Ray : It doesn't take a long time to load at my PC. But I'll see, if lots of people complain, I'll change it. ( I prefer picture XD )
@Mechz : I don't get what you mean actually.

Anyway, guys! Please post more reply. I need support!

 

[GrooveMan.exe]

@Mechz : I don't get what you mean actually.

That's... interesting. Normally it's the guys who are well aware of the competitive game that lobby fangames.

I'll fill you in on this. Because Pokémon's battle mechanics are deep, and very well balanced compared to most RPGs, there's a 'competitive game' for it; a style of hardcore play among those who understand the game mechanics and play to beat others; rather than the Elite 4 over and over. Kind of like how you get hardcore Smash Bros. players.

Because you're not aware of the metagame, I'm going to hazard a guess you don't have EVs, IVs, or possibly Natures. Those are pretty much tantamount to making Pokémon varied and complex, so it would be well-advised if you looked into them. Serebii.net do decent explanations of these mechanics.
http://www.serebii.net/pokedex-rs/ev.shtml
http://www.serebii.net/games/ivs.shtml
http://www.serebii.net/games/ability.shtml

Now, Tiers are 'levels of decency' that fans put the Pokémon into. This happens for other games with competitive play, Smash Bros. again being a good example. Although Tiers are generally accepted amongst players, sometimes specific Pokémon are hard to categorise, or  popular 'mon are left in low tiers. The tiers spread thusly:

Uber: These are Pokémon with stats so high, or abilities so unfair that they are disallowed in general competitive play. Most are legendaries, but not all legends are Ubers. Mewtwo, Wobuffet, Kyogre, and Arceus are Ubers.

Over Used (OU): These are Pokémon that are at the top of their game, with outstanding stats and abilities that make them commonly used (or should I say Over Used. =P). Gyarados, Blissey, Swampert, and Dusknoir are Over Used.

Borderline (BL): These are Pokémon that are good in their own right, and can stand their ground against OUs, but there are slight disadvantages in stats or abilities; or there's an OU 'mon that can do their job better. Venusaur, Crobat, Regice, and Mesprit are Borderline

Under Used (UU): The majority of Pokémon fall into this category, with inferior skills and abilities meaning 9/10 times they'll be stomped flat by OUs, or possibly even BLs. However, the high number of UUs means that having UU-only fights makes for some interesting matches. It would be interesting if you tinkered with the stats and abilities of some of these 'mon, to bring them up a tier. Dodrio, Lanturn, Sableye, and Froslass are Under Used.

Never Used (NU): This is a debated tier, ans all Pokémon are used to some extent. However, there are some UU 'mon whose stats and abilities are so poor, that they would be useless in most battles. Making sure this tier is as small as possible (or just plain non-existant) would be amazing. Beedrill, and Sunflora are arguably Never Used.

Not Fully Evolved (NFE): It's considered bad practice, or just plain pointless to competitively use Pokémon that aren't at their final evolution stage. Exceptions could be Pikachu (who gains a large Special Attack boost if it holds a Light Orb, making it superior to it's evolution) and Dragonair (who's Shed Skin ability and only a 2x weakness to Ice makes it more resilient than Dragonite).

Smogon.com has a listing of tiers: http://www.smogon.com/dp/tiers/

As for your project, yeah that image that the top of the page is annoying, cut it down to text and banners, please. It seems that a lot of work has gone into getting the graphics right, but one or two sprites are a little sloppy. My main gripe is the writing; it seems very forced, and there are grammatical and semantic errors from time to time.

 

[OmegaGroudon]

Lol. Long reply. Anyway, yeah! There will be base on those since I used the starter kit. I think the starter kit was actually base on that. Don't worry. I'll cut it off the picture.

 

[dadevvtsvre]

Whoa! That's a...lot of images! Umm, just skimmed through a few of the pics. Saw a few grammatical errors, but...wow, I'm pretty speechless. :shock:

 

[MapleCutter]

your demo links dont work

 

[PetrovicSamaras]

how original...

 

[Skyla Doragono]

ffs

1.) Lose that damn huge image at the top.  It's unnecessary and takes an ASSLOAD of time to download.
2.) I never thought I'd say this, but, LESS SCREENSHOTS PLEASE.  You don't need to reveal your entire story to all of us; take screens of parts you find important, pretty maps, menus (if they're astoundingly different, which yours clearly are), and other features that don't scream "typical RPG".  Put up enough screens to get a person INTERESTED in your game, not so many that it's, "Well, why should I play this, I've seen everything..."
3.) Nix the old screenshots.  No one cares.
4.) Those badges are ass ugly. :\

 

[boon]

That image has completely fucked up my computer. I agree with Atemu, you have WAY too many screenshots. And hasn't this been posted already?

Edit; I was right. You have posted this, http://www.rmxp.org/forums/index.php?topic=30644.0

:x

Why would the badges have circles for them to fit in, but not fit in the circles? :S

 

[Skyla Doragono]

oh ffs

I ought to smite you to hell in back, but I'll just lock your old topic instead.

NEXT TIME UPDATE YOUR OLD TOPIC INSTEAD OF POSTING A NEW ONE.

 

[PetrovicSamaras]

hey calm down the guy didnt mean to be offensive now talk to him like a man not like an idiot.

as a moderator, i think yugioh should be an example, not so agressive (as other user are being) towards someone who is using your forums.

Ok, I laughed.

 

[hungery12]

This looks like the better of most fan games.
All in all this is pretty cool, maybe I'll download the demo later.
If I'm not toooooooo lazy

 

[bluehazed]

Well, i had no problem downloading the image, it took a second or two, but if you dont want to take it down, i suggest saving it as a jpg or a gif, because of the smaller file size.
Second, it seems you are doing a wonderful job with this, so don't give up! I like the poke gear.
@PetrovicSamaras: i believe her name is Atemu, not yuugioh, and that she was joking.
@atemu: your a girl right?

oh, and fix your megaupload link. it says http://"http://www.megaupload.com/?d=VBNVA4NJ" and thats not a valid url, now is it.
it should be http//www.megaupload.com/?d=VBNVA4NJ

 

[boon]

Or http://www.megaupload.com/?d=VBNVA4NJ

(you forgot the colon :P)

 

[GrooveMan.exe]

Ok, I've given it a quick whirl. My feelings are... mixed.

I'm glad that you've made the intro a tad different, but it means that an intoduction from the professor doesn't gel very well with the events that followed. There's also no real reason why you're a Pokémon Ranger, and why Oak and Steve Stone live in this new region. The cutscenes are also a little awkward, but that's more down to the bad scripting and lack of music/sound effects over anything technical.

It's funny that when you go into the Pokémon center, the BGM then plays everywhere but in battle.

You mix sprite styles a little too often, with in battle sprites taken from the Advance generation games, Diamond/Pearl, and dodgy revamps of the GBC games. It doesn't work at all, and looks ugly. The main chracter is a teenager, but his sprite is shorter than most other NPCs he also walks funny. :V

I've noticed that the ingame engine is taken from Gen 3, meaning there's no Physical/Special split. That's going to make the Generation 4 'mon... interesting. It's a novel idea though, even if it was accidental.

Route 1 is WTFHUGE for a starting area, and Route 1 is already in Kanto. You'll want to start at Route 230 or so.

tl;dr: Fire your scripters and spriters, they're really awful. :V Your mapper could need a referesher course.

 

[mawk]

He was banned because he was a duplicate account created by another member to get around an existing ban. The skirmish between him and Atemu had nothing to do with it.

Trust me, we mods aren't like that. If we banned anyone because of purely personal matters, we'd get our modship revoked (and probably be banned, too,) and that member would be unbanned immediately. :P
