An RMXP POKéMON GAME
MADE BY: MINORTHREAT0987

~ABOUT THE CREATOR
Well I am sure some of you know that I have had a decent history on these forums for starting games that never really went anywhere. The latest of which was POKéMON GOLDEN HEIGHTS, a POKéMON GOLD/SILVER/CRYSTAL remake. I would like to assure you that while this game may go through times where progress will be very slow, I really do want to finish this one.

~ABOUT THE GAME
I have been planning POKéMON IRIDIUM since at least FEB. 2007. Storylines, the region, and other details have been in the works for a very long time. Because of this I am very excited to continue working on this game. Progress tends to be slower than most, but that is because I do massive amounts of event coding and event testing as I map the region and I do the story coding as I map also.

~THE REGION OF IRIHO
http://img338.imageshack.us/img338/1216/irihonw5.png

ALLEAF TOWN
The town you have grown up in, it is the home to PROF. ASPEN'S lab and starter park. It's the gateway to your adventures through IRIHO.

TREEFAR CITY
The first stop in the quest to find your mother. It is also home to MATT'S POKéMON GYM, which is the first gym in the IRIHO POKéMON LEAGUE CHALLANGE.

FRESHORE CITY
The second stop in the quest to find your mother. Home to KENZI'S Electric POKéMON GYM, the POKéGEAR COMPANY, and the FRESHORE LIGHTHOUSE.

~THE STORY
The legend tells of an ancient POKéMON whose power was unlike any other POKéMON's.
This POKéMON was rule of the change in the seasons and therefore was able to manipulate the seasons and ultimatly time as it pleased.
This POKéMON was tracted for many years, there was great mystery involving how this POKéMON was able to manipulate the seasons.
People hunted and hunted this POKéMON, some for good purposes, some for horribly evil purposes. No one prevaled
Until the day this POKéMON became was captured and killed that is...

Hundreds of years later this POKéMON's orgin has been traced to the region of Iriho, a region south of Sinnoh, west of Kanto.
Yet no trace of it was ever found in this region...until now.
TEAM DISASTRO has found word that a single shard of amber is in the possesion of the Iriho POKéMON Science Institute,
This shard contains a single hair of the ancient POKéMON, this hair holds enough genetic material to resurect the Shifter of Seasons.
TEAM DISASTRO will stop at nothing to resurect this elusive POKéMON and control the seasons and causes chaos.
They mustn't be allowed to do this.

The Iriho POKéMON Science Institute knows of the DNA fragment and decided the best thing to do would be to hide it.
They gave it to your mother, an retired IPSI official, and when she went off for business in VANTRA CITY, she left it to you.

While your mother was in VANTRA CITY, TEAM DISASTRO found out where the IPSI hid the shard...They went after your mother...
Now you must find your mother while also keeping TEAM DISASTRO away from the amber shard containing the Shifter of Seasons' DNA


~FEATURES


Full POKéMON battle system
Full POKéMON menu/PC system
Explore the new region of IRIHO, and meet new people

~WANT TO HELP ?
Right now I am looking for people who would like to create new POKéMON for the IRIHO region.
I am also looking for spriters to help sprite POKéMON, and TRAINERS.

[Henry987]

Nice game m8, keep it up :D

[Nytkoi]

Very nice job. This will be a great game. Good luck!

[Ludicario]

Very nice game I should try it. If you want I could do poke fusions

[Yuoaman]

I don't think he wants to use fusions in this project.... Fusions just aren't very pleasing to the eye when playing a game....

[Ludicario]

Yeah your probably right it's already real pokemon
I could try spriting right now
Edit: Okay I just learned to do people sprites but not during battle. I can sprite for like walking

[Mrchewy]

Finally! A Starter Kit game that actually shows promise! What can I say, it looks fantastic; I'm very tired of seeing boring, unoriginal Starter Kit games with not graphical or technical editing whatsoever. Keep up the GREAT work!

Wow, thanks, I wasn't quite sure whether people were going to like this game....but thank you.

Thank you all for your comments.

Ludicario, thank you for the offer but as yuoaman said, POKeFUSIONS just really aren't quite right for the game, I want to keep a more professional look to the game and Nintendo hasn't included fusions yet, so I would rather not include them. But thank you for the offer.

Um, well as I said the progress is slow but it is chugging along, I have a few, well quite a bit of screens to show, about 20 to be more exact, lol.

Well thank you, but as of right now I am content with the FR/LG trainers. But thank you. :)

Again thank you but I wanted to keep the title as close to the FR/LG ones as possible, and as far as it being plain, its just because I am waiting till I get a POKeMON to put on the screen. Thank you though. :)
Can i PLZ do the maps (not all but some)
Well, mapping is pretty much already taken care of. Plus it is one of my favorite things to do. Thank you though. :)

Now for the core reason behind this post.

Screens from route 2 in Iriho, look is CHERUBI, I wonder if CHERUBI is going to be in the game.... ;)

Enjoy.

[MR.GLITCH_KING]

looks good

but lol at that fat behind starly

[j.a]

Dude my fave part is mapping to!
But r u gonna have customs other than the starters¿

[Minorthreat0987]

Thanks...the whole fat thing is in reference to the sprite though right? cuz that isn't my fault, lol its nintendos.

Well I would like to it depends on wheither I can get good concepts and sprites and such.

[MR.GLITCH_KING]

yea im talking bout the sprite

i know the ds screen is bigger than a gba

it just looks funny in a gba sized screen

[Wichu]

It might be a good idea to resprite the Sinnoh Pokémon (as I am doing), or get poccil to implement a larger screen size (should be switchable between GBA and DS sizes).

[Minorthreat0987]

Well the only problem with that is I don't even have a really good spriter to sprite the custom pokemon for the game, led alone sprite DP pokemon, lol but if i could I would, so I will try. :D

[un_saint]

LOVE how this game is looking too bad can't help you as i don't hack or make games

[adamb241]

Nice D/P inserts. Are the cries accurate to the D/P Pokémon?

[Mrchewy]

Nice D/P inserts. Are the cries accurate to the D/P Pokémon?

Inserting D/P Pokémon in a game is nothing like inserting them into a hack; it's literally a two minute process. The actual starter kit comes will all D/P Pokémon anyway ; ) .

[Flameguru]

Hey MinorThreat!

Pokemon Iridium looks really good so far so keep up the hard work ;) I'm hoping to see this finished.

[un_saint]

HAVE YOU FOUND PEOPLE FOR YOUR TEAM?AND WHEN YOU SAY YOU NEED NEW POKEMON JUST DRAWINGS RIGHT?AND IF SO HOW MUCH

I haven't got the chance to add the water starter to the game yet so heres just the starters hidden picture to an unhidden one so you can see the water starter.

Oh I am looking for someone who can do stats and movesets for the new starters and their evos. Please and thank you!

So people who read this thread and don't post.....if you could please do me a huge favor and either post or PM me the reason you aren't posting....like what my game is missing that is making you not want to post because I am looking to have the best game possible and if there is something that is missing from the game that the people want I will try and make it happen!

[DarkPegasus]

I don't post because I am not the posting type XD But, you do have a very nice game, and I like the new starters! I can't really say that there's anything wrong with the game ^^

[pangit413]

Hello! how do you create a pokemon game? i would like to make a pokemon game!
using (ScreenShots or video)

[.houndoomed]

I think this thread needs more attention.. this game has great potential. I think if you had things like new heroes, the game would stand out a lot more ^^

But for now, it is a truly good game. Your mapping skills are great also.

[Angel Haru]

cool!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[brendan mc]

Hey Angel. I've been going Through the forums and twice caught you spamming, Please comment in a sentence.

Games looking great, Love the new Battle system.

Thank you. I will work on trying to get new Heros for the game, hopefully I can come up with some ideas. :\ And thank you for the comment on my mappin, I try very hard in that department, most of my maps get several revisons before I am completely satisfied with them. I take great pride and spend a great deal of time on mapping, plus its fun. :laugh:

Well time for a very small update.

A new pokémon status menu, FR/LG style, and a new SHINX sprite(Created by ME.) :) Please enjoy.

http://img180.imageshack.us/img180/7940/testscreens32308by0.png

[Neo-Dragon]

I've said this before elsewhere, but this game looks so like the offical ones, it's crazy.
Your doing a good job with this one Minorthreat.

[Wichu]

Way to go for posting the near-exact update as me, 10 hours after me. If I didn't know better, I'd say you were copying me! :P (And I had a scratch Shinx before you :D)

Good work, anyway. I'd put a few more custom touches on it, though. Perhaps an icon showing whether the move is physical, special or status?

Well your menu system is way better than mine. Good job with that btw it looks excellent. As for the whole copying thing, well the custom DP sprites is a very good idea because like you have said before they don't fit with the advance gen screen size and such. And the menu, well...I don't really have a reason behind this except you motivated me to get but butt moving on something that I wanted to do because thats one thing I didn't like about the essentials kit was that it combined FR/LG with R/S/E which is sort of tacky in my opinion.

Well I don't think the essentials kit has that option and I am not the best when it comes to scripting I know some of the very basic elements. So that might be a little out of my reach, sadly.

I also have made a userbar so people can support the game. If they would like that is.

I am also currently working on a new hero for the game to get rid of the overused FR/LG Heros.

[Wichu]

Essentials has the physical/special split by default - it just doesn't show it. Try using Surf and Waterfall on a Blissey or something - you'll notice Waterfall does more damage, even though it has less power.

Well, I didn't know that. Cool :D I will look into that eventually but like I said I am not to good with scripting so it probably will take me awhile to work up a function to make it check and stuff like that. Plus I am not too good with the way poccil does the images so that would probably take time.(Like how all the type icons and arrows and such are on one image and its scripted to separate and pull out the frame needed.)

Anyway here are some new screens

http://img511.imageshack.us/img511/280/testscreens32408hp8.png

These show of the new male Hero(Trainer Sprite for Trainer Card is still in development). They also show the current final page in the Pokemon Status Menu. completely FR/LG style YAY! :laugh:

[Wichu]

Well, if you can do the FRLG summary (especially the move description page, with the icon and stuff), you should have no problem with the move categories :P

The screenshots look nice!

[Franzo]

This is one of the best rmxp pokemon games i have ever seen.
good luck with the whole thing...

[Minorthreat0987]

Thanks for the comments. I will try and work on showing the physical/special/other split.

I decided that an unsaturated tileset might look a little better so I tried it, I like the looks but I'd like to see what you all think.

http://img441.imageshack.us/img441/579/testscreens324082lr9.png

Tell me what you think.

[megiddo]

That looks great and the hero looks a tiny, tiny bit like isaac from golden sun.

[Minorthreat0987]

Thanks for the comments.

Here are some screens showing off ROUTE 3 and GREENHAVEN TOWN, plus....whats this PROF. ELM'S IRIHO LAB...? I wonder what this might be....you'll just have to wait to find out.

http://img237.imageshack.us/img237/3172/testscreens33008be3.png

And here are some screens that showing the fact that the Pokemon Status screen now shows the Physical/Special/Other split that DP has.

Keep up with these good works.

[DarkPegasus]

EnirevTux, this is not a hack. Grrrr :P

A great update indeed, can't wait to see more ^^

[Suigin-Tou]

Oh i love the system, especially the new starter sprites.
Good work ^-^

[SW47]

Looks good! when will we see more updates?

[Minorthreat0987]

Hopefully an actually update will come soon, if things go well that is lol

But as for now I want to show the newly revamed IRIHO region.

The other map was horrible and looked utterly terrible. So I redid it, let me know what you think! =D Please and thank you.

[Fangking Omega]

This project is looking outstanding. You've got a high quality of mapping which is making the world look like a real Pokémon game - you're using tiles correctly rather than just shoving them in any old way! It sounds and looks interesting and enjoyable.

Your menus have been put together very well and the region map is looking very good indeed ;)

We've seen a lot of screens now, so try not to show off TOO much of the game dialogue for the moment - but keep us posted with new features and stuff! It's gonna be a big success and the high quality speaks for itself. Keep it up!

WOW...:shocked: This comment is like awesome. Lol A extremely positive comment from the legendary Fangking Omega on my game. It really means a lot. Especially your comment on my mapping skills since you have byfar the best mapping skills I have ever since in any POKeMON game, totally amazing.

Thank you sincerely for the comment it means a great deal to me as a game developer, comming from pretty much the king of game development and the man behind the legend that is Acanthite. :)

UPDATE
well a small one anyway. lol

A SLIGHT NEW LOOK FOR IRIHO!

http://img171.imageshack.us/img171/9121/testscreens4708ki3.png

A few new tiles have been added to the game, and more will surely come in the future.

Please enjoy and comment! Remember, those who look at this game that I can only post an update if at least one person posts after my last one, so I don't double post :)

[O.G. Duke]

Looks great!!
I like the new tile, they just look suitable for the game.
Good lucka and I'll wait for the next update.

[Mitchman]

Um I would like to give it a try. PM if you want me to

[Minorthreat0987]

I am trying despretly to do things to make this game have some sort of appeal to the people of this forum so the game will gain some support.

So here are some screens of brand spankin new tiles just made and inserted into the game today. Please enjoy and post comments, Oh, and Please do not steal any of the tiles, any one caught stealing will be reported immidiatly with out warning.

The last two screens show the fact that i was able to add the hp and exp bars to the summary and add the ability to see what pokemon you have captured in battle.

Enjoy

[Neo-Dragon]

The new tiles really give this game an amazing new look to the game.
I think I said it before, but the battle background is really nice.
Your doing a good job with this game.
Don't worry about support, just keep showing off the game and people will comment.
Keep it up, I don't want to see this project die....

[Minorthreat0987]

Thanks all, the positive comments really motivate me to do my best.

In light of some of the positive comments I decided to work my butt of and come up with something sorta special for today, an update to the bag interface.

Presenting: The Bag, DP Style!
http://img181.imageshack.us/img181/2267/testscreens41608wl6.png

ENJOY!!!!!!

I also perfected the Day/Night system to be closer to the DP one, and a lot less blinding during night and morning, Its a very hard thing to take shots of, so you'll just have to wait for the demo.

Speaking of the Demo I never really talked about it much. The demo was originally going to be comeing out soon because it is going up to either the 3rd or 4th gym and I am mapped up to just past the 2nd, almost to the 3rd.

But, and this is kind of a big unfourtunate but, I have recently decided to cut out as much offical nintendo graphics as I can, as far as the tileset goes. So the progression of the demo is on hold until I get new tiles to replace virtually all of the tiles currently used in the game plus enough tiles for the next few towns. So it should be out in this quarter of the year, but no promises I am not going to push myself to make a deadline.

Sincerely
Minorthreat

[O.G. Duke]

Good job, Minorthreat! You will always give me surprise.
Keep it up with the good work!

[Minorthreat0987]

Well thank you. The next update will come when this thread gets up to 75 posts, come on guys I know you can do it. And to give you something to talk about for the next 6 posts, I have a question to ask you all

Do you think I should change the screen size of the game to that of the Nintendo DS verses the screen size of the Gameboy Advance ? The Gameboy Advance has a screen size(for RMXP atleast) is 480x320 and the Nintendo DS has a screen size of 512x384(I believe lol) in RMXP. So PLEASE post your opinions.

Sincerely, Minorthreat

[O.G. Duke]

If there is a NDS screen, that would be better I think.
So go ahead!

[BlackRainbow*]

NDS screen. It will look much better. Nice tiles btw. Awesome game.

[lightou]

To me, GBA screen size is better.
If you change the screen size to the NDS one, you'll have to change everything (code, pictures...).

I think that you should make your game, the screen size is not very important.

[simplynaruto]

Screensize is whtevr to me.

[PokemonPlatnum]

It does not matter to what size the screen is!

[HeavyOctillery]

This is looking pretty good. I like the Fire starter.

[Alistair]

It would really depend on the style you are going for. If you are going to ga for a D/P style, with larger-than-regular and more detailed sprites, go for the DS resolution. If you are going to go more towards FR/LG styled sprites, go with the GBA resolution.

[Minorthreat0987]

To me, GBA screen size is better.
If you change the screen size to the NDS one, you'll have to change everything (code, pictures...).

I think that you should make your game, the screen size is not very important.
Well re-coding and stuff really isn't that hard it only takes a few hours and I can have just about all the key important systems recoded for the new screen size.

This is looking pretty good. I like the Fire starter.
Well I am glad you like it, but unfortunatly I am considering heavily redesigning the starters because these ones are just too not starter material and lack the luster that starters should.

Heres the shadow of the new grass starter

The screen size has officially been changed to 512x368 slightly shorter than the NDS on because with the overworld staying in FR/LG style the game looked too large on the larger screen. Also DP sprites will be used in this game instead of the advanced style sprites.

I also want to talk about the new device to replace the POKeGEAR in the game, POKeTECH, it functions just lke the pokegear but the interface will be different and you will more than likely need the POKeTECH to access your badge case and other interesting things things, hopefully. Stay tuned, hopefully screens of the new POKeTECH will come with in one of the next few updates.

The next update will come, as long as nothing major happens, when this thread reaches 85 replies.

I hope you enjoy.

Sincerely
Minorthreat

Wow ! I like the bag !

But you don't think that the summary screen looks a little bit... empty ?

In the trainer mémo (first screenshot) you can write something about the Pokémon's happiness (by using the pokemon.happiness variable).

It's just some idea, however, your game is amazing as usual ! :)

[marinos519]

Nice game ! But are there going to be only new starters or other fakes as well?

[HeavyOctillery]

The Starter shadow looks a bit like Dipleaf from Amethyst.

[Minorthreat0987]

Well the starter doesn't, lol I got bored and decided to post the art for it now instead of later, to have a last ditch atempt to get some activity here. lol

Introducing the new grass starter

http://img170.imageshack.us/img170/3201/newgrassstartershownfh4.png

Now it currently has no name but I am thinking of having the starter have a dark/psychic/fighting sub type to go along with the grass/water/fire typing. So this pokemon's evos might end up having a dark subtype so the name will reflect that, I was thinking of naming this pokemon INNODON (innocense+iguanodon[which is the animal this pokemon is loosely based on] because of its pure grass typing that evolves into a grass dark typing. but i am undecided, suggestions are welcome.

Some new screens showing off random systems.

http://img129.imageshack.us/img129/1298/testscreens511082jy4.png

A nice little series of battle screens.

http://img371.imageshack.us/img371/1769/testscreens51108sx1.png

Oh and to answer marinos519, I do plan on having other new pokemon, but we will just have to wait and see.


Until next time,
Minorthreat

[lightou]

Wow, amazing !

I like the battle background !

[Neo-Dragon]

Wow. Really neat screenshots. This project looks so official its amazing. I love the Pokedex screenshot- just looks really slick and well put together- like the button icons just adds a ice touch to it. Good job.

[Warpstrike]

Hi I've been looking at some of the games on this site and this is one of the best I've seen so far. I'm really looking foward to playing this It looks really awesome and i hope you succeed in making this a great game. Also if your still open to story ideas I have one.

[Wichu]

Oak looks... somehow... younger? Is this game set before RBY or something?

[Minorthreat0987]

Thank for the comments. No oak isn't supposed to be younger I touched up the sprite to try and make him look older tell me what you think. These are just sorta random screens showing the first battle with one of your rivals, The starters are temporary hopefully but they may be seen still as starters in the first demo depending on how things go.

Enjoy.

http://img98.imageshack.us/img98/4575/testscreens52508yq1.png

If anyone has anybetter suggestions for the Pokemon your rival could possible have then let me know.

The story is going through overhall sorta, but I won't say anything until the demo comes around so you can experience it for yourselves.

Enjoy.

All resources seen are not to be used by ANYONE!

[O.G. Duke]

I like the game! I like the battle scene. But I don't really like the hp box, they look quite weird. But anyway, keep it up!

PS: The day night system looks good!

[DamianLeonhart]

In the screen shot with the rival and the player, the bar that shows the number of pokémon that the trainer has is quite a bit to low. I am not sure if this is something that was missed or not. I just thought you would like to know if you didn't catch it.

Other than that I love the screen shots, it looks like you have a very good game on your hands.

[Minorthreat0987]

So, the last update didn't go as planned so I erased it to make this one.

Long time no word PokeCommunity. To be quite honest not a lot has gone down in the almost month that I have been away, sadly that is.

What has been done:
-TONS of new outdoor tiles like house and such have been made including tiles from DP, but we will talk of those shortly.
-A few graphical enhancments
-A few major tweeks to the story

The Tweeks to the Story
Heres the new background story for the game.

The legend tells of an ancient POKéMON whose power was unlike any other POKéMON's.
This POKéMON was ruler of the change in the seasons and therefore was able to manipulate the seasons and ultimatly time as it pleased.
This POKéMON was tracked for many years, there was great mystery involving how this POKéMON was able to manipulate the seasons.
People hunted and hunted this POKéMON, some for good purposes, some for horribly evil purposes. No one prevaled
Until the day this POKéMON became was captured and killed that is...

Hundreds of years later this POKéMON's orgin has been traced to the region of Iriho, a region south of Sinnoh, west of Kanto.
Yet no trace of it was ever found in this region...until now.
TEAM DISASTRO has found word that a single shard of amber is in the possesion of the Iriho POKéMON Science Institute,
This shard contains a single hair of the ancient POKéMON, this hair holds enough genetic material to resurect the Shifter of Seasons.
TEAM DISASTRO will stop at nothing to resurect this elusive POKéMON and control the seasons and causes chaos.
They mustn't be allowed to do this.

The Iriho POKéMON Science Institute knows of the DNA fragment and decided the best thing to do would be to hide it.
They gave it to your mother, an retired IPSI official, and when she went off for business in VANTRA CITY, she left it to you.

While your mother was in VANTRA CITY, TEAM DISASTRO found out where the IPSI hid the shard...They went after your mother...
Now you must find your mother while also keeping TEAM DISASTRO away from the amber shard containing the Shifter of Seasons' DNA


You may have noticed that the gyms thus far have been kinda tightly packed on right after another, well that means that there will be gaps in the gym quest. The first three gyms are tightly packed so after the third gym there will be a few citys/towns and quests to do that don't involve the Pokemon League at all.

NUSTONE CITY
The next city in the game after GREENHAVEN TOWN. Home to the gym leader DYNAMO, the trainer of rock type POKeMON.

Here are some screens from NUSTONE CITY along with screens showing the new HP bars.

http://img129.imageshack.us/img129/8320/testscreens61808lt7.png

*The gym tiles seen in this screen shot are placeholders till I design a better looking one, as are the grey pathways

The last thing I want to talk about is a recent decision on my part to include a new mode of transportation into that game to allow a trip to SINNOH at some point during that game.
Yep, you will be able to fly to SINNOH in a way similar to the MAGNET TRAIN of JOHTO. That is one of the reasons I have been working on Diamond and Pearl 2d tiles.

Until next time Enjoy, and post comments, or concerns, or even criticism.

Sincerely
Minorthreat

[simplynaruto]

Aha this is nice. But if south of sinnoh dont you think its to muxh land north? Like make it more thinner and connect it with sinnohs mount coronet line.

[fudgy]

cough cough tile sets cough cough

i like it, and i like how you mapped everything out, and i like the new starters!

[Neo-Dragon]

Cool storyline. Is that Pokemon you are talking about a fan-made one of one we already know about? (I was tempted to guess MEW if it was)
I acutally like the current gym. I know you said it was a place holder but it looks cool. The sunroof/glass roof is pretty neat.

[Minorthreat0987]

Well, Iriho is not connected to Sinnoh, infact its not even all that close. The only way you are able to get to Sinnoh is to go to the AIRPORT in one of the larger citys in Iriho and fly to it using the jet plane.

i like it, and i like how you mapped everything out, and i like the new starters!

I am a little confused about the whole "cough cough tile sets cough cough" thing xD.

But thank you for the comment non-the-less. The starters, infact the chance at having a complete fakedex for this game, is very iffy. It might not happen like I want it to. But I will try very hard, I just need help I cannot create a complete fakedex on my own and sprite them all.

I have a New pokemon set up to fill this role and I am hopeing to be able to include it, but MEW is a cool thought.
Well I like some aspects of the gym, like the glass roof(I am glad you recognized what it was, I was afraid it didn't look like a glass roof) but it also looks too much like the pokecenter for my taste. Therefore I plan on redesigning it with a new idea but keep some of the aspects of this one, liek the glass roof.

The Pokemon Iridium Team needs you
As of right now. The team working on Pokemon Iridium is very very small, I am the sole team member. However, I am looking to change that and would love to have some talented people jump on for the ride.

What we need:
Spriter(s)-I need at least one of these to help sprite Pokemon and Trainers
Fakemon designer(s)-I would love to have a Fakedex for this game but I need help.
Idea creator- Some one to help create inovative ideas and things for the game includeing side-quest and other things that way come up.

*To fill the Position of Spriter, examples are needed.


Thanks for the comments, keep um comming.

[Flameguru]

I was just checking up on your game, Minorthreat.

This game still looks amazing as always, good luck ;)

[ryushin5]

i've been looking at this game for awhile i never posted here but i just wanted to say that this game is SO AWESOME!!! i mean wow the story is good i like the whole adding fakemon with real pokemon keep it up this game could be the best game ever

[Yuoaman]

So MinorThreat, how's work going on with this? The recent screens look just great, good job so far!

[Alystarr]

ok there's the pic sorry It didn't work :P

[nnijena@aol.com]

When do you expect to be finished with the game? Estimate?

[Jynx Middata]

I could be your spriter. Here's some examples of my work.


http://img50.imageshack.us/img50/3746/electrikatvx2.png
This is Electrikat. He is going to star in my game and is my fakemon example.

This is my Pidgey scratch sprite I made for Vampire://Krimm's Pokemon Neo Eras and is one of my scratch sprite examples.

This is the origin forme of Giratina. It is my other scratch sprite example.

[Flygon234]

I wanna help create new pokemon!

[Lorem Ipsum]

I have to say, Minorthreat, this game is looking completely awesome. Completely and utterly awesome.

[monarc,]

yaya, can't wait for this game :)

[Minorthreat0987]

Well, I really haven't had much time to work on this game. But I have done some interesting things, mostly art work though.

NEW MALE TRAINER
http://img410.imageshack.us/img410/5861/maletrainersmallerfk5.png

PLEASE DO NOT STEAL THIS ART WORK.

This is the new Male trainer for the Iridium Game. I think its a vast improvement from the current hero. I hope you enjoy it. I have a little bit more time to work so some things will get done for a hopeful update in the next few weeks.

Okay another Graphical Update to the Pokemon Screen. Enjoy.

http://img366.imageshack.us/img366/9526/capture004mm1.png

[Lorem Ipsum]

Minorthreat, how did you change the resolution of the screen in your game?

[Minorthreat0987]

I PMed You Lorem. :)

Now, lol, I am getting kinda bored with a lot of stuff about this project/thread. But don't worry I am not quitting I have just decided to try and post at least one screen every few days to try and build support. This is because I noticed that even when I post an update, no one responds so I want to post a lot of screens to try and get support.

Heres today's screen
Showing off the new trees, pokecenter, and male traner sprite(which I will probably dull the colors because they are too bright compared to the overworld.)

http://img508.imageshack.us/img508/4674/capture005mi3.png

Please enjoy, and do not steal anything. Thanks a million

Minorthreat

[blueguy]

Those trees are really well done. ^_^ And I like your status screen too.

[Neo-Dragon]

I agree with that there.
I love the new screenshot and I agree with posting more screenshots- I'm already a huge fan of this game, but your right about adding more screenshots- you will get more support.

[Mitchman]

Hey thank god you are still working on this! I miss having updates from you and now that you are well im happy to still see this alive and kicking.BOL!

[Minorthreat0987]

Well thanks for the comments guys. Um I am thinking about resaturating the pallet for the tileset, the dull colors are starting to bother me. Anyway here are some screens, three of them today.

The Screens

Now a little guessing game! ;)
Oh and yea, the last screen is ******** ****, I was just testing out some tiles so I mapped it up a little bit, maybe in the future ****** will be a part of the game. Enjoy!

Minorthreat

[Mitchman]

Nice but arent those kyledove tiles?

[Minorthreat0987]

Nice but arent those kyledove tiles?

No sir they are not, I did the same thing kyledove did, worked on creating a sinnoh tileset in 3d style if you compare the tiles sets, they are based on the same buildings but they are not the same at all.

http://img170.imageshack.us/img170/7797/tilecomparisonuo4.jpg

I saved it as JPEG to prevent stealing of my tiles. See the houses have distinct differences.

[megiddo]

Is that jubilife city there?

[blueguy]

I feel that the grass and flowers need work. As well as the Jubilife pavement tiles... Something's not right... The color, maybe? Also, I feel that the flooring and walls in the middle screen are a little off as well... Aside from that, it's looking good. I wish you luck. ^_^ I hope my comments help.

I agree with the Jubilife Floor tile, oh by the way guys yes that last screen is Jubilife City, I will work on adjusting the colors. To be honest, I don't think I know what the actual colors are, lol I only play D/P during the night time so the screens always tinted.

I also agree with the flowers needing work, but other than that I am afraid I don't quite understand. Can you point out what makes you feel the tiles aren't quite right? That would be a big help.

.:EDIT:.
Hey blueguy, are these any better..?

Thanks for the comments.

[Yuoaman]

Nice screens Minorthreat! I really like your tiles, *Steals tiles*, especially the trees, did you make them yourself?

[Saidai No Soba-Ya]

perhaps "Sinnoh" will be in the game lol ^_^
keep it up minorthreat

[Minorthreat0987]

Nice screens Minorthreat! I really like your tiles, *Steals tiles*, especially the trees, did you make them yourself?

Thank you. Yes they are all made frome scratch. I quite like the tree myself, its a lot better than the old tree.

perhaps "Sinnoh" will be in the game lol ^_^
keep it up minorthreat

It is possible. I have considered including it. And I have a few maps done because I was bored. So you never know you could end up visiting Sinnoh in Iridium. :D

Thanks for the comments guys keep um comming. I will hopefully have some new screens sometime today.

Minorthreat

[Neo-Dragon]

Screenshots look excellent as always.
I don't think you should claim your making those building tiles though. They are just heavily edited kyledove buildings. They are really edited, but not scratch. I think you should make that clear man.

[Minorthreat0987]

I don't think you should claim your making those building tiles though. They are just heavily edited kyledove buildings. They are really edited, but not scratch. I think you should make that clear man.

I was clear, I used his tile and the actual tiles a referance for overall shape but the tiles are from scratch, the only tile that I used of kyledoves is the jubilife path tile but I had to change the colors because of the desaturation that he has on his tiles. The Jubilife house tiles and such are complete scratch, aswell as all of my other tiles that are based on Diamond and Pearl Tiles. I swear. Its kinda hard to make your own sinnoh tiles now that kyles done them because they are all the same building so of course they are going to look alike but if you really take a hard look at the tile comparision 8 posts above you can see the differences. But they are complete scratch, colors an all, just using screens from Diamond/Pearl and kyle's buidlings as reference.

And to prove this I am willing to post a PNG copy containing both Kyle's tiles, and my tiles so that anyone who has doubts can zoom in an clearly make a comparison that these tiles are not mere edits of kyles's tiles.

http://img159.imageshack.us/img159/7010/tilecomparisonbd1.png

Sincerely,
Minorthreat

And in all honesty, my tiles look at lot less professional than Kyle's :D. Kyle's tiles are WAY better. But I didn't want to use his tiles because I knew everyone else was going to so I wanted to be different and I am decent at making overworld tiles so I choose to create my own tiles. Some of them using kyles as a REFERENCE but nothing more.

Thank you and good day. lol I hope this can help clear things up.
Sincerely, again,
Minorthreat

[Neo-Dragon]

Ah sorry. I blame the Jpeg image.
Yeah, see, when I looked at it, it looked like, you used the outlines of kyles and just messed around with the pixels, but yeah, they look scratch there.

[Mitchman]

YOU know what i love? That your putting yourself down. Tell you the truth your buildings are btter.why? Cause they are more appealing to my eye thats for sure.

[Minorthreat0987]

Its alright, I understand. lol No harm done. I just wanted to make it clear that they are just referenced off of kyles buidlings but not edits.

ANYWAY, lol, I will be working on the next part of the story event coding today, but I also have to do some charset spriting so the update will probably not be till later.

YOU know what i love? That your putting yourself down. Tell you the truth your buildings are btter.why? Cause they are more appealing to my eye thats for sure.

Omg.. I can't believe I havn't posted on this game yet.
It looks fantastic. I love everything about it T_T
The buildings look good btw. ^_^
Great actually. The pokemon screen looks good ^_^ (one where you check summary and stuff)

How did you get the DP sprites to looks so good in battle :(
I wanna do that, but uh... they would like be to big and stuff =/

[Minorthreat0987]

The DP Sprites look so good because I changed the overall screen size of my game to a larger size to compinsate and allow for the use of proper DP sprites, YAY.

Anyway, I ran behind schedule yesterday and didn't get to post the screens I wanted to so I figured I'd post them today.

TODAY'S SCREENS

These screens show PROF.CEDAR, what does TEAM DISASTRO want with him, you will just have to wait for the DEMO to find out.

*The MISTY sprite is just a placeholder till MADISON gets a concept and a overworld sprite.

Enjoy the Screens.

Yes they are! Those flowers are really nice, and the Jubilife tiles look good now! Good work. Why, though, do your three newer screenshots revert to old graphics, though?

[Yuoaman]

Nice screens Minor!

And do you have any old resources you'd be willing to share? Your custom tiles are great.

And if you need any help in mapping and whatever else it is I do, I'm right here.

Yes I did make him myself.

Yes they are! Those flowers are really nice, and the Jubilife tiles look good now! Good work. Why, though, do your three newer screenshots revert to old graphics, though?

The newer screen shots are from the first forest in the game, and it uses a different tileset in the editor(So I can have the dark look, without tinting the entire screen), and I just haven't got around to changing the tileset yet, whoops, don't worry though, those screens will be updated once I fix the tileset and create a forest tree.

Nice screens Minor!

Um, I actually don't, sorry, The only other custom tileset I have made is the one from Pokemon Golden Heights, and that has been given, exclusively(I think), to Pokemon Metallic Silver, Sorry.

I was messing around *steals tileset*

And, when are we going to be seeing the screen of the day? I can't wait!!

[Minorthreat0987]

Not much to show today, so I figured I'd throw a little set of battle screens to ya. Now unfortunately these may be the last screens for awhile, I get my wisdom teeth pulled out this week and after that I won't be any good. lol Sorry its not a lot folk, I am doing my best.

THE SCREENS
The battle graphics have be reverted to DP because creating custom scenes became to difficult and I felt they begain to look horrible so I decided to go to DP style. Enjoy.

i would move the enemy base and sprite over to the right a tad bit.
Other than that they look great ^_^
i like the HP bars :P

goodluck with the teeth thing :(

Yeah, the sprite is a little off-center, but otherwise good screens.

And have fun getting your teeth pulled O_o

Well anyway. I have been doing a little bit of tilework here lately in my down time.

those trees make the place look scary o_o;

applesauce is always good if your hungry and need soft food :)

[blueguy]

Too much blank space, but aside from that, it's looking good. Maybe you could add some treestumps or something?

[Yuoaman]

Yeah, those trees are pretty nice, but you need things to fill in the empty space like stumps, flowers, and such. Good luck with no solid food... O_o

[Minorthreat0987]

Okay, I agree with it looking empty so I created some tiles to make it lively. And I have also made a few new tiles I would like to show off. Keep in mind the area's I have shown are currently unpopulated and will be populated shortly.

It's still looking very nice. You have a knack for those tree tiles! The tree stump is really cute, and the sand is very nice. I still feel that the forest is a little sparse. I would add some more interesting grass patterns, and perhaps some dark purple-ish flowers to fill it up a little more. Sometimes space is good, but there is a little too much in that one particular area of the forest.

Keep up the good work. ^_^

[Minorthreat0987]

Hey, thanks for the comment blueguy. =]

Now, I have been thinking and I would really really like to feature New Pokemon and stuff, but I will need help with that. Please check out the official Pokemon Iridium recruitment thread in the Game Development section.

I am in very need of the positions in the recruitment thread. So please help out.

So I want peoples opinons , I was thinking of doing a special egg related event, but heres what I need help with.

What 2nd OR 4th Generation Pokemon should be given to the player in the form of an egg?
Now with answers please try to be legitimate. Like don't say " PLeaZE GIVE MANAPHY IN DA EGG FORM TO ME PLEASE".

Also, I am thinking, should I do a major Gym overhaul and create harder more complex gyms like in Pokemon Platinum?

Sincerely,
Minor

[blueguy]

;D I love to give comments. I think Pichu or Togepi would be fun for egg giveaways. I'd love to see more challenging Gyms. I'd love to do that in my game too.

I dunno, I like your project... so if you supply me with some ideas I might be able to help out with some Pokémon in my spare time.

[Minorthreat0987]

Hey all! I figured now would be a good time to start talking about little new features.

So I don't know about how any of you play the official Pokemon Games, but when I am in the gym I try to aviod as many trainers that aren't the Gym leader as possible. Well I decided to add a feature to Iridium to deture this type of action.

The Gym Points Feature
In the game you have to register for the IRIHO POKeMON LEAGUE, in the POKeMART in TREEFAR CITY, well when you register you also will be given a special card, call the Point Card.

For every non-leader trainer you defeat in a gym, you will be awarded one point. Every gym now has a basement floor where you can redeem your gym points.

The prizes will included things like TMs, Special Items, Hard to find Items, and even POKeMON.

The Trainer Points Feature
Later in the game,(Near NUSTONE CITY, the third gym), you will somehow come across another points card, this time for normal route trainers. Only trainers from that point forward in IRIHO will award points.

These points work the same way as Gym Points, except they will be redeemable only in NUSTONE CITY.

The prizes will be less valuable since normal trainers are in such abundance. You can win TMs, and Special/Hard to find Items, and Evolution Stones.

I think these are nice little features to show more awards to those who take the time to defeat trainers, other than their Pokemon getting stronger.

Sincerely,
Minor

wow, that's a great idea!
I would have never thought of it T_T
can't wait to try it out :P

keep up the good work.

Well, I usually try to battle everyone I can, so I suppose having points would be pretty nice, as it suits my play style.

Just wondering, are you going to have a way of rebattling trainers? And if so, which way? Phone, Match Call / Trainer's Eyes, VS Seeker, or a totally new method?

[Yuoaman]

That is a great idea for a new feature, and if I hadn't already reached my quota for stolen ideas this month I'd take it... maybe September?

Anyways, like Wichu asked: Is there going to be a Vs. Seeker equivalent in Iridium?

[Lady Berlitz]

Those are really great ideas, Minorthreat0987.
The gym idea is also a pretty good feature, because it adds something extra to the gym.

Also, I like the trainer idea as well, because I noticed that people can just simply skip trainers, and the problem is, sometimes their Pokémon are weaker once they've done that.

These features will make people want to battle a little more.

I really like this game a lot, keep up the great work.

Well, to be honest, I haven't thought much about it! :D.

I'm I am sure something along those lines will be available in Iridium.

Now, unfortunately, some kinda bad news. Well school has started, and my schedual is pretty loaded, so my time to work on Iridium has been cut down. Stupid AP Chemistry! AH But hopefully I will get time to work on it occationally.

Thanks all. Keep supporting the game. It's not dead, just creeping along in the shadows for a little thats all!

I am sincerely sorry.

Please keep up the support

Sincerely
Minor

Sad news to anyone who still cares about this project. The project file has been lost...Which is quite terrible. Everything is gone. I don't know how it happened. It sucks really badly but oh well.

I might start another project I'm not sure yet. As soon as I figure something out I will make a post somewhere on these forums to let every one know.

Thank you.
And I am sincerely sorry.

I'm not sure, the file just dissappeared. I think one of my siblings or friends deleted it. I left it up one night when I went away and when I came back it was all gone and not in the recycle ben either. I was so angry!

I might restart a project under the same name I'm not sure yet but I will keep people updated if I decided to do something new.

[Atomic Reactor]

yeah... ive herd that story before.
Is that honestly what happened ?

:(

nvm. I guess i can believe that.

I know it sucks doesn't it! I think I'm going to restart in a sense, change a lot of stuff though, make a new thread all the good stuff. So keep your eyes peeled, hopefully!

[Xemphos]

HOW DOES SOMETHING LIKE THAT HAPPEN!
Oh man I was looking forward for this to
Oh well at least this time you could make it better....maybe.......possibly

[Minorthreat0987]

Okay, I'm in the process of trying to recover the files. But even if I do find them, I am still probably going to restart iridium due to many issues in the direction the game was headed. I am also considering steping the game up into the next generation, going DP style using a combination of Kyledove, Speed, and my own tiles based on that style....but this all depends on whether I find the files and like the outlook.

[Wichu]

Well, you could always rip your own tiles from the screenshots in the thread...

And also, this is why I back up Amethyst on a USB stick every few weeks. It might be a good idea to do this as well.
