[quote name='Riotpopper' timestamp='1365064265' post='264952'] I sprite, and write, and have worked with every PC release of RPG Maker in existence. (Oh god, VX and VX Ace, they killed it. XP Was the best) I know enough Ruby to do basic crap, but am an expert with GML and can use what GML has taught me to learn other languages more easily. I can't dedicate a ton of time to help out, but every now and then I find myself with nothing to do and wouldn't mind contributing. [/quote] That's awesome. If you have the time, you should download the latest Pokemon Essentials Starter kit, it can be found on google. It's created by Poccil but he handed it off to Maruno. One script I'll need help fixing is the pokemon follow script. There are scripts for the Essentials kit that worked perfectly for it, unfortunately they were for older versions and don't work with the latest release (version 11.) I'm mainly a graphics guy, and I'm good at mapping and all that, coding gives me a headache haha. If you're interested in helping with that at any point in time, it'd be greatly appreciated, and you'd be put in the credits of course. It's not needed right away or anything but would make this game a lot better. I already have all the pokemon overworlds from HGSS too, so it's all on that script.

I was thinking about something having to do with going to the moon actually... maybe that can be where the final battle is or something. Clefairy everywhere Also, the .celtx file. http://www.sendspace.com/file/zr0n5p

[quote name='Dev' timestamp='1365061538' post='264928'] Elemental horses akin to the 6th gen legendaries? I could go along with that. And please do, I can make an overarching storyline in about 2-3 hours. [/quote] I don't know much about 6th gen, so I wouldn't know. I messaged you what qwe had so far though, hopefully you can work with that or re-work it. I'd highly recommend you use the script writing program Celtx, it's really great. I could give you the script project file for that if you'd like, too.

[quote name='Dev' timestamp='1365061278' post='264925'] The plot looks good, and I would give [i]allusions[/i] to a few ponies, but not flat out copy, seems a bit tasteless. Fakemon would be cool. Just pm me a basic direction and I'll come up with a plotline tonight. [/quote] They wouldn't necessarily have anything to do with MLP. I'm not a brony personally. It just got me thinking that having a water ponyta, electric, etc etc might not be a bad idea. And I'll message you right now of some of the basic ideas of what we had past that script, though it's full of holes.

Any and all ideas are worth reading in the very least, whether or not they will be used is another thing. Trying to make this game kind of canon-ish to the real games, with some spins on it. Our PokeMMO community is generally a bit older, at least we used to be, so we can add in some darker tones to it and all. And no Dev, it's a joke really... haha. I didn't even clarify that. I went on Global and asked everyone what they'd like to see in a Pokemon fan game and "Ponies" was pretty much all I got for a response. Then random chatter about MLP. That got me to thinking that we could have Fakemon that ware just type variants of Ponyta. I'll definitely check out your stuff though, also, I'm using this program called Celtx for the script writing. I'll post the script thus far up, but it's pretty plain and boring so far. It'll help show how it works though. EDIT: Putting the original script I had before bringing this project to PokeMMO here and in the top post. [spoiler] GAME Intro AND SETUP #Display controls Screen is dark. Text appears below. PROFESSOR HEMLOCK Ah, you've arrived. PROFESSOR HEMLOCK Welcome to the incredible world of POKéMON. Music starts, screen goes from black to color and sprite appears. PROFESSOR HEMLOCK My name is Jack Hemlock. I am a POKéMON Professor. Professor hemlock Before we go any further, I'd like to discuss a few things with you. Prof. sprite disappears, pokemon (undecided which) appears in place. PROFESSOR HEMLOCK POKéMON are creatures that widely inhabit this world. PROFESSOR HEMLOCK We humans befriended POKéMON thousands of years ago. PROFESSOR HEMLOCK Some people work alongside them, others pit them against each other in glorious battle. PROFESSOR HEMLOCK I, however, only research them. pokemon sprite disappears, professor sprite reappears. PROFESSOR HEMLOCK I suppose it's your turn for an introduction. Professor sprite disappears. PROFESSOR HEMLOCK Are you a boy or a girl? Give two choices, Boy or girl. Show sprite depending on choice. PROFESSOR HEMLOCK (If incorrect name, refer back to here) And your name might be...? Name your character. PROFESSOR HEMLOCK So then, your name is \PN? Give option of Yes or No. If no, refer back to before naming. PROFESSOR HEMLOCK Well then, \PN, I hope you're ready. PROFESSOR HEMLOCK The world of POKéMON is a vast and exciting one indeed. PROFESSOR HEMLOCK Do visit me when you're given the chance! Transition to game start. Game START IN PLAYER'S HOUSE Player appears in bedroom with two beds. There is a PC in the corner which contains a potion. Player goes near stairs. PLAYER'S DAD \PN, could you come downstairs for a minute? Player goes downstairs. Player's dad are sitting at the table. Brother Liam is standing by door. PLAYER'S DAD There's no easy way to say this, kiddo. PLAYER'S DAD I've been offered a job in Minnaheim City working for Professor Hemlock. PLAYER'S DAD I've already told your brother, and we have until tomorrow to get ready. Liam walks over. LIAM I still don't see why we need to leave, we'll have to make all new friends! Player's dad turns to Liam. PLAYER'S DAD This isn't up for debate. LIAM Whatever. Liam walks outside. PLAYER'S DAD You should use this time to say goodbye to your friends. I'm sorry. Player is given option to walk outside. GILLBROOK When outside, Liam walks up to player and talks. After speech, he goes back to where he was standing. LIAM Dad can be such a jerk sometimes. LIAM We don't really have a lot of time to say our goodbyes... lIAM You should go see Lydia and Isaac before we leave. Player can walk around town of Gillbrook. There are 5 houses, a pokemon center. Player can talk to different people around town. Player goes to Lydia's house. Lydia Hey, \PN! I have some awesome news! I'm getting my first POKéMON tomorrow! Lydia Aren't you excited for me? Lydia ... Lydia ......you're moving? #music change possible? Lydia But why? And to Minnaheim? But that's so far off... have you told Isaac yet? Player is given the choice of yes or no. If yes: Lydia I hope isn't too upset about it... If no: LYDIA [/spoiler] None of that has to stay. It's just what I had. [quote name='Akshit' timestamp='1365060729' post='264917'] I just had a suggestion about gym leader !!! (or side Rival) An opponent who uses Dragon and Bugs as he/she believes every Poke to be equal...So it 1st Poke is a lvl 20-30(whatever) Butterfree/Beedrill and the player is like yeah whatever bug Poke and suddenly after that Slamance !! And so on...all badass Bugs And Dragons ..What say ?? [/quote] That's a pretty good idea actually, keeps things balanced a bit

[quote name='Strychnine' timestamp='1365060242' post='264908'] Welcome back Mobius [/quote] Thanks Strych. [quote name='Akshit' timestamp='1365059953' post='264903'] I tried to play that game(Mother 3) but it was in some other language....Till date I haven't found an English ROM for it and because of that cannot understand your reference as I was unable to play...anyways talking back player would've made it to be a one of its kind Poke RPG Game since no other Poke game has ever done that. [/quote] There's a .ips patch for Mother 3 that makes it in English, but back on topic; there's usually a reason the player character doesn't talk back. I think it would only really work if you only had one character to play as instead of the choice of 2(male and female) or more, but again, if there's enough support for this game sotrywise and all, maybe we can figure it out.

[quote name='Chestbrah' timestamp='1365059735' post='264896'] oh well damn i propose that the first gym leaders name should be "Brah" and his team consists of a level 8 nidoran male, a level 10 machop, and a level 12 growlithe. He can be bruno's little brother or something [Spoiler]also make the main character black[/spoiler] [/quote] Haha I'll keep that in mind. I was thinking of making it so you could choose between two characters anyways, so maybe you can choose between a black player or a white one, and the choice between male and female? Who knows. I know that there will be a system where you can either buy or unlock outfits in-game to change your character, but it'll probably be limited to 2 or 3 different outfits.

[quote name='ProfessorElderberry' timestamp='1365059694' post='264895'] What language are you writing it in? I am pretty busy at the moment or I would offer to help with some of the coding... but at very least you have my support! The very best of luck with your game!!! [/quote] It's already coded in Ruby(RGSS). This game uses the Pokemon Essentials Starter kit made by Poccil and Maruno for RPG Maker XP. Everything is already fully functional coding wise. Mainly worrying about graphics and plot now, with SOME coding in the future (for things to make this game unique).

I'll refer to the Earthbound/Mother series with that reply. I do appreciate the thought, but having the player talk doesn't really work in this kind of game. In Mother 3, the only time you see Lucas talk is when you're not playing as him. You play as multiple characters through the game, and most of them don't talk when you play as them. also, with the option of choosing two genders, it makes it hard to keep a consistent story with the player character talking if only because of the differences a boy would have in a response to what a girl would say, and the reply of the NPC talking to the character based on said response. Though if this feature is really supported, I guess we could make it work.

Well coding isn't as needed really, I should clarify that. The system is fully functional. What I really intended was to enlist the help of you guys for story and plot ideas, character design and backstories, gym leader designs, town names that follow a theme, things like that. All things that make the pokemon game what it is. The battle system is working fully, all pokemon are in it, and so are the moves. The animations for all moves aren't in, but that can come later. We actually need to cut down the dex from the 5-600whatever it is to 250. Any help in these aspects is what I'm looking for from most people. If you can code or sprite, that's something that's really appreciated. And if the thread should be moved, it may be.

[quote name='Akshit' timestamp='1365057792' post='264870'] I agree with Herp....This looks amazing...lay off him a lit bit. @Innermobulus: You game looks amazing though I believe it'll take a lot of time to get the popularity the way PokeMMO has got...Anyways I have no suggestions...just do what you feel...you will start getting suggestions the moment the game comes into play..,And by seeing your work...I'm impressed,you're a skilled guy. ( thought I am not,so no joining the team from my side). And lol why dont join the PokeMMO team fully and combine your efforts in it instead of working on a comepletely new one... Would love to see ya around and anyways, good luck for your game [/quote] This isn't an MMO, it's a single player story-driven game It isn't intended to get as popular as PokeMMO. It was originally just me and a friend coming up with ideas for the game, but when I learned of 4chan's /vp/ making a game, I figured why not try that here on the PokeMMO boards? And I've worked with DarkShade in the past, I kind of know the direction PokeMMO is going with graphics and such and there's nothing I can do for them. In fact, WarOx is a lot more skilled than I am in that aspect, I'd rather see him working on PokeMMO But for this game, I'm sure it'll picque someone's interest to start helping out. We need characters, some (believable) Fakemon(like the alternate Ponytas), and much more. Ideas are always welcome. Also, new screen showing outside. [img]http://i49.tinypic.com/2079dhy.png[/img] That layout is bound to change, but it's there temporarily. Edit: And then there's this. [img]http://i46.tinypic.com/2m46luv.jpg[/img]

lmao. Well maybe someone will be interested.

[/spoiler] DESCRIPTION: [spoiler]This is a game being created for Windows(though it may be playable on Macs and Linux later by following a tutorial) that will bring the Pokémon experience to the PC. It's being created with the guidance and suggestions from the PokéMMO fanbase. You can help this project along! The story is still under construction.[/spoiler] FEATURES: [spoiler]A fully-functional Pokémon system (Pokémon Essentials Version 11) Two Regions (Planned) HeartGold/Soul Silver Tile Graphics, with some Black and White Black and White Overworld and Trainer Graphics Lead Pokémon follows player (Planned) Custom Dex Expansive Storyline with Sidequests EVs and IVs DS Music Animated Battlers (Implemented) Double Battles[/spoiler] FAQ: [spoiler]Q: Is there any way I can help? A: Yeah, I'm sure there is. Post on this thread with some suggestions or inbox me with what your skills are, or add me on Skype. We are always looking for story and plot suggestions, but even more looking for people who can code/script. Skype username InnerMobius Q: How many regions are you putting into the game? A: Most likely two by the time we finish this game. Q: Can I be a gym leader? A: No. :) Q: Can I be a route trainer then? A: Possibly, but it wouldn't be your username unless your username sounds like it could be a first-name. That last part is important. The name you choose MUST SOUND LIKE A FIRST NAME. Also, you're probably not getting a custom sprite for yourself, so don't bother asking. You'll have to choose from a trainer class like everyone else does. Q: Will there be Fakémon? A: Yeah, to an extent. I'm thinking we're only going to have the legendaries and maybe some alt-evos of already existing Pokémon as Fakémon. Q: How many Pokémon will be included? A: We're going to have a custom dex of about 350 I'm assuming. They will all be obtainable somehow. Q: Will there be trading? A: We'd like to implement online trading and battling, but in the meantime we have an item called the Link Tech that's a relatively rare item in-game that allows for you to evolve your Pokémon without trading. (Make Onix hold a Metal Coat and use the Link Tech on it and it evolves into Steelix) Q: Is EV training incorporated into the game? A: Yes, the system is fully functional. (As of 4/9.13 there is a page under Pokémon Summary for EVs/IVs but it's a bit glitchy, will be fixed) Q: Is there an ETA On this game/can I get a leaked copy? A: No, there isn't. When the game is ready for a demo, it will be made available to everyone at the same time.

Bumping for relevance, this tutorial still works for graphics editing.

Im sorry, but this patch only works on a clean fire red rom (meaning no patches have been applied yet).

Bumping for relevance, this patch still works with PokeMMO despite the recent updates!

Yeah, I've gotta say man, it turned out epic looking even without the NPCs being changed... maybe leave them but change the in-battle ones? -shrug-

I've updated the first post a little information-wise and have added two new screenshots showcasing the DS Trainers after the Character Customizer came out. This will look great once the backsprites and in-battle sprites change depending on the clothing you wear :)

With the addition of the customized characters(like clothing), it takes away from this patch for new users. If you had been playing PokeMMO since before the new character system, you would have gotten the chance to choose what color of Red you played as, and that changed in-battle and from the login screen too. New players don't get that choice and are automatically red in-battle now. There is a system that's in the works for your overworld character to have the same clothes as your trainer sprite, but it won't be released for a while.

Sorry, I don't think it's compatible.

Epic, I'll be trying this out soon :)

I suggest all supporters of this mod also support this thread, as it greatly has to do with game customization(Including the fact that even with the 8-bit patch, players will not be 8-bit anymore because of the character customizer): https://forums.pokemmo.eu/index.php?/topic/10942-let-us-use-red/

I've sent the minis patch, good luck! Hopefully we can figure out a workaround of this new character creation system...

Yeah, the HG/SS rom only updates in-battle pokemon and the pokemon that follow you (and the battle scene I think) but I already have a patch out that gives you the option to fight HGSS trainers. :)
