Pokemon Spirit Chrome

[~Icy Wind~]

Made with: RPG Maker XP

Hi all!

I came here from Pokecommunity, so I think you know what kind of game I'll introduce. It may seem a bit ambitious, but I won't give up on the project. So, without further ado,

Pokemon Spirit Chrome

Story

The Legend of Pento

The world was a dark and empty place...
Then, the Original One came...
It created the universe and the beings to protect it.
They are known as the Legendary Pokemon.
Then, the Original One created other beings...
One of its creations was man.
It and the Legendary Pokemon also created the regions of Earth.
They created Kanto, Johto, Hoenn, Sinnoh, and Pento.
Humans and Pokemon then went to different regions around the world.
Their work done, the Legendary Pokemon scattered to different places around the world, rarely ever to be seen again.

The Present Day

You are a 13 year-old boy/girl who lives in the area known as Pallet Town, Kanto. You lived a normal life just like everyone else in Pallet Town, except for the fact that you weren't interested in Pokemon and becoming a trainer.
You always thought that Pokemon were boring.
Then, the disasters started happening. Earthquakes struck major cities. Tsunamis coated the land. Volcanoes erupted. Blizzards struck some towns.
The region where most of the disasters are happening is in faraway Pento. Each island now has its own climate.
However, some disasters struck cities in Kanto through Sinnoh as well.
Curious about the catastrophes in the regions, you study Pokemon unwillingly because you know that going into the wild alone is dangerous.
One day, while you are studying Pokemon, you realize something.
You actually enjoy studying Pokemon.
Eager to begin you journey, you rush to Prof. Oak's Lab.
However, he has no more Starter Pokemon to give to you.
Disappointed, you go home.
The next morning, you hear a scream.
You rush outside to find out what it was about.
You find that it was only an Eevee wanting to play with a little girl.
Prof. Oak then hands you a Poke Ball.
He tells you to throw it at Eevee.
(No battle sequence happens here as you don't have a Pokemon.)
Before going off into Route 1, you try to make friends with Eevee.
You then notice something peculiar about it.
You then realize that the Eevee was the Pokemon that made you dislike Pokemon!
You then try to figure out how that happened though, but you come up empty handed.
(The Next Day)
You wake up like every other morning, but when you look outside you find most Pallet Town destroyed!
You rush outside, relieved to find that no one was hurt. Thankfully, the people of Pallet Town are outside most of the day.
Then, you go back inside your house and into your backyard, hoping that Eevee, who slept there for the night, was okay.
To your relief, Eevee was completely fine.
However, when Eevee gets up, you find something where it was sleeping. It was smooth and rectangular.
You take this rock to Oak.
He examines the rock carefully and tells you that it is a Plate.
He elaborates and tells you that a Plate is a very rare object that powers the Original One. One Plate exists for each type.
He then tells you that the Plate you found was an Earth Plate. It might have had to do with the earthquake in some way.
Your questions answered, you finally begin your journey, and set foot in Route 1.
But you have more questions.
How did this Earth Plate suddenly appear?
Was it really linked to the earthquake in Pallet Town?
Because of the other natural disasters in other parts of the world, are there Plates in other cities and regions as well?
You hope to find answers to your questions and you wish to solve the mystery of the Natural Disasters.
The story continues...

563-600 - Still Thinking

 

[Æ№∞₧]

Sounds kinda nice, although a lot of work is ahead of you...

 

[~Icy Wind~]

Fortunately, I like this kind of work though.

 

[sondex]

OK, first off, the cardinal rule is no advertising. So things like coming soon and recruiting are a no here.

Secondly, I've learned that being too ambitious can lead to difficulty down the road. You have to start small and then build your way up.

Now I'm going to dissect your post.

Story:

Then, the Original One created other beings...
One of its creations was man.

You made my eyes pop when I saw, "Then, the Original One created other beings...
One of its creations was man."
Like, the creatures created us. That's an interesting twist to it. It could be brought up now we are putting our creators in captivity and that could be a good story plot point in your game.

You are a 13 year-old boy/girl who lives in the area known as Pallet Town, Kanto. You lived a normal life just like everyone else in Pallet Town, except for the fact that you weren't interested in Pokemon and becoming a trainer.
You always thought that Pokemon were boring.

Now, I like this spin on the character. You know, like, how he doesn't like pokemon. You should explain why he doesn't. Maybe a bad experience? Maybe the Evee he first catches could be the same Evee that traumatized him? That would make the character more interesting.

One day, while you are studying Pokemon, you realize something.
You actually enjoy studying Pokemon.

If I were you, I would have him still reluctant about pokemon and studying them. Instead, I would have him gradually get closer to pokemon throughout the course of the game. That way, you build some depth for the character and you also build sympathy and understanding between him and the player.

Also, why study when he can have a first hand experience? Or maybe he could study and possibly say like, "Oh, wow! Pokemon in books and real life are two different things!" or something of that nature

Then, the disasters started happening. Earthquakes struck major cities. Tsunamis coated the land. Volcanoes erupted. Blizzards struck some towns.
The region where most of the disasters are happening is in faraway Pento. Each island now has its own climate.
However, some disasters struck cities in Kanto through Sinnoh as well.

I'm assuming that these strange occurrences in nature are caused by nature. Care to elaborate on what caused these things to happen? Also, I think it strange for each island to have it's own climate. You should mix it up. Since you are gonna ave 600 pokemon, you want them to be spread out evenly and not have all the ice pokemon here and fire pokemon there.

OK, now onto the features:

-600 pokemon- I think that's too much. I've yet to see a real pokemon game with 600 pokemon. At least, ALL IN THE SAME GAME. Good luck trying to get someone to do that many sprites. Unless you are gonna find the ripped sprites from pokemon games. That might help.

-Kanto, Johto, Hoenn, Sinnoh, and a new region, Pento!- Ok, this is not bad at all. I'm planning a game myself where the characters travel to different continents, so this is a good thing. Make them unique in their own way, and you're gold.

-Battle, trade, and play games with other players!- How? Online? Locally? There is a two player engine somewhere so that might help. If done correctly, this could be really good.

-Global Terminal- Please explain what this is for people who do not know what it is. Anyway, you have to be specific as to what you are going to do with it.

-Battle Frontier- Tell us it's functions and the 2 new facilities please. I never played emerald, so I have no idea what it is.

-Arceus- You mean like the box art mascot? If so, it'd be cool to see, since we never had one as a box art before.

-All Pokemon can follow you- If you are meaning what I think you are meaning, then you DO NOT want this. Having all pokemon follow you can be confusing. You should just ave one or at most two follow you. You do mean the pokemon in your party, right?

-Team Blaze and Team Marine- Team Magma and Team Aqua. Tell me how these teams are different. What are their goals? How do they tie in with the weird climates? (Which is similar once again to pokemon ruby and sapphire.)

-Mystery Gift- Fine idea. Just make sure it's done right and you're set.

-Types: Light and Sound- Thank you. Thank you, because we have the dark type but no light type to counteract it. It just seems weird. The sound type sounds interesting. You have any ideas on the kind of pokemon will be this type.

-New TM and HM- Both are always pluses.

-Dual Screens- I've yet to see a game with this for RMVX/RMXP. I'm 99% sure this won't be in the final version of the game. Why? Because it is too complicated when you can have one simple screen. Stick with the basics.

-Poketch- Sure, this is cool. Downloadable apps are a plus. What will you do with it? Add new functions? Be sure to explain what is is to those who don't know.

So over all, it sounds like a good project idea. Keep on developing it and I'm sure that with the right dedication, it will be a success.

This is really really ambitious, so ambitious I don't think it'll ever be finished. This isn't me being mean but the list of features is identical to what took Game Freak and Nintendo a year or two to finish and they had a whole team, loads of experience and lots and lots of money, not to mention motivation as well. This is definitely too much either you should cut it down a lot, like only Pento and release it episodically, like Isle by Isle, but having global trading, Battle Frontier +2, 5 regions and 107 new pokemon is just crazy. Imma just say cut it down a lot or give up and start something smaller, maybe if you had a good track record you could pull this off but I doubt highly that you'd be working on fangames if that was true. I'd wish you good luck but this initial list is at the high end of improbable.

 

[~Icy Wind~]

Edits to storyline will be made. And D/P/P had about 450+ Pokemon obtainable out of the 493. I'm removing the GTS thing because I didn't see it work well in D/P/P.
Plus, the dual screens might be removed. Lastly, this is being made much easier thanks to Poccil's Pokemon Essentials.

Lastly, Team changes: Team Spore and Team Lightning.

GTS is awesome, I can trade all my fake Shaymin's for Japanese Rayquaza's and the like.

Almost all of your idea mentioned here (by both sondex and icy wind) are awesome, but you will need to know how to sprite, script, etc. If you do not know how to do these things, I suggest learning quickly.

Looks interesting...What was your name on Pokecommunity?

I've seen this guy on pokecommunity that has done a game with a working dual screen in RMXP. Check it out http://www.pokecommunity.com/showthread.php?t=166412. The game is really cool and also has a similar name :D
