Pokémon Grey

[blueguy]

[MADE IN] : RMXP
[INTRODUCTION] :
I, like a lot of other Pokénerds, have always wanted to make my own game, and so, in my abundant spare time, I have decided to! I owe a lot to poccil's indispensable Starter Kit. I am aiming to make a run-of-the-mill Pokémon game, with a few of my own touches. I've been working on it here and there for the past while, but the real bulk of the progress has come recently. I've been really inspired by some of the projects in this forum, so I hope that my little thread is at least amusing.
[STORYLINE] :
You begin the game as a very old, widowed person, living in a lonely, old, decrepit house by the sea, in the middle of nowhere. You have never gotten the chance to become a Trainer. In fact, you always feared training, because as a child the Charmander you received died, when its flame was extinguished in a bout of vicious, torrential weather. You always felt guilty for this mistake, and a result lived out your years uninvolved with Pokémon. One day, you see a strange light emanating from outside. It is the dead of winter. Following the light, you find it leads into the woods. As you follow you suddenly realize you have been magically transformed back into your thirteen-year old self. The time has not changed, simply your body. These woods are called Two-World Grove, and they lead into a region you have never set foot in.

[FEATURES] :

- Increased difficulty
- New graphics
- New region
- Some new Pokémon, new type combinations
- Some new techniques
- A cute, little swimming system
- More will be announced as development continues

Whoa what a nice project!

I hope you succeed, good job!

^_^

EDIT: Ok its removed.

^_^

[Neo-Dragon]

Neat, a swimming system.
I had something like that in one of my first games. It's a cool idea.

The storyline seems fine, and everything else (like the features) sounds rather fine as well. lol.

The graphics are very pleasing. Who did them?
Oh, and as always, good luck with this one.
(Yeah, I say that in every tread the first time I post about a game, but I mean it. :) )

[blueguy]

Thanks, cuttyflam, although you should remove the quote, 'cause it's super long!

[sonic smash down]

[Manio]

I like that custom pokemon,custom pokemon is what attracts me to games.

[Saidai No Soba-Ya]

haha good stuff blueguy^_^haha also having town and city names are flowers same as me ^_^

[purepker480]

Wow very nice
Like the swimming feature
keep on going!

[[HoN] Jereziah]

Wow!
Nice Project......Swimsuit huh?

[lightou]

I really like this game !

Keep it up dude, it'll became an amazing creation :)

[Manio]

Can't wait to see what else you have in store for us.

[PoKéMaKeR]

Woah!
I agree with the others, it's looking fine!
Nice feature you got there with the swimming ;)
I also like your custom sprites :)
Keep up the good work, and I hope you finish this game it looks really promising!!

PoKéMaKeR

[PokemonOI]

this game looks great I look forward to following this.

[Shikamaru88]

nice game grey what an interesting color....lol

[Atomic Reactor]

wow.
this game looks great. the storyline is nice, What do you mean about houses being more on routes though 0_o
the swimming feature is really cool. will you be able to upgrade so you can swim in the ocean?
Well, overall the game looks good.
Keep up the great work ^_^

[Wichu]

I like the custom tiles :P

Just wondering, will any characters from your comic be in the game?

[blueguy]

Keep up the great work ^_^
Thanks a lot! As for what I mean, you will sometimes spot houses on the routes. Some NPCs prefer to live away from the hustle-and-bustle. For example, on the first route, Route C1, Gil lives right by the river, because that's his passion in life. I'm not sure if the swimming feature will be upgraded. I would like to make it so that you can snorkel in deeper waters, however.

I like the custom tiles :P

Just wondering, will any characters from your comic be in the game?

Thank you. And I have considered giving cameos to characters from PokéChow, but I'm not sure. I think it would be sort of a funny in-joke. Oh how I miss the comics. I'm not sure if I should return to them or not. :/

SMALL UPDATE:
I'm currently working on Primrose City. I re-mapped it last night and am pretty pleased with it. One of its attractions is a little garden featuring exotic trees from past generations. I plan to expand this garden to include tall grass. The owner will charge you a small fee in order to explore the garden, where you can find some exotic Pokémon.

The idea behind Primrose is that it has two districts. Up on the hill are a few mansions, and below are the plainer, common homes. Some of the rich are snobby and don't let you inside their homes, but one woman will invite you out of the heat for lemonade. Afterwards, you acquire the item. This is a once-per-day event.

EDIT: I've removed the screenshots, because I think they look unfinished. I'll be posting some new screenshots tomorrow.

Thanks for all your support guys! ^_^ I hope you enjoy the new screens. I'll probably be retooling Primrose yet, as well as some of the introductory plot.

[Atomic Reactor]

My eyes water from how beautiful your game is. Not just graphics... just everything!
Hmm, that garden idea sounds great. What kinda pokemon are you planning to have in there?

The new screens look good. something about the mansions though just dont sit well with me =/

well, keep up the great work ^_^

I'm not too sure on the Pokémon, but they'll come from the other regions. Yes, the mansion's bothering me too! The roof looks wonky! I'm going to fix it tonight and make a sort of re-update once I've finished the garden and patched up the roof, so to speak.

Thanks. ^.^

[Atomic Reactor]

yep defiantly the roof. that's about it.
Can't wait to see the renewed building ^_^

good luck.

[blueguy]

Well, here's an update I won't take down! I've been working on more of the interfaces and stuff, etc. etc. I hope you guys like the screens.
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v237/colton_blue/screenshots3.png

[Atomic Reactor]

oh 0_o
how did you make that sign do that?
just a show picture command?

lookin good anyway ^_^

[Neo-Dragon]

N-i-i-i-i-i-ce.
I like the pokecenter/mart buildings. And yeah- that sign is slick!

[Miralci]

This looks nice! I'll follow it ;)

[Saidai No Soba-Ya]

great screenshots blueguy i would like to see the starters ^_^

[PoKéMaKeR]

Oh this is becoming better and better, I really like your screens!
nice interface you made :)
keep up ok?

PoKéMaKeR

[blueguy]

N-i-i-i-i-i-ce.
I like the pokecenter/mart buildings. And yeah- that sign is slick!
I like them too. I thought I would switch up the usual colors. Thanks a lot. :D

great screenshots blueguy i would like to see the starters ^_^

Well, in the last update you saw the back of one of them. Sporrow is the Water starter. The Grass starter was originally going to be a rabbit, but I'm changing it. The Fire starter is kind of dragon-ish, like Charmander, and is a Fire/Poison-type.

Here's another update for you guys... just some more screens.
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v237/colton_blue/screenshots4.png

[Atomic Reactor]

awww :(
Sorrow looks so sad :(

Looks like the garden expanded :D

[Saidai No Soba-Ya]

Nice! ^_^
Sporrow is its name = sparrow + sorrow ?

[PoKéMaKeR]

Nice update, I like sporrow, but as Atomic_Reactor said, it looks kinda sad:P
But overall this game looks good, and I hope to see some further progress in the future!!:D

[blueguy]

The idea behind Sporrow is that it's very sad, and uses its song to cheer up the people around it. I have a few things to discuss...

1) At night-time, trainers will camp out that you won't meet during the day.
2) The difficulty of the game will be higher, meaning that trainers on routes will have better, more diverse Pokémon teams, so you'll have to rely on training, items and strategy to win.
3) The trainers you meet on the road will travel just like you. After completing a major event etc. in a city, the trainers you met on the route before will advance to the route ahead of you, along with some new ones etc. Therefore, all trainers have names and will be unique. You get to see their teams develop as yours does.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v237/colton_blue/screenshots5.png

[Atomic Reactor]

omg. T_T
i was gonna do that trainer thing in my game XD
owell. thats cool, love the update.

i like the toughness increasing at night idea too btw.
keep up the great work ^_^

[Yuoaman]

I was too! O_o

Anyways the game is looking quite nice, And just don't make a grass/flying starter... that's mine lol.

[Saidai No Soba-Ya]

oo great stuff new screenshots ^_^
hey i was gonna do the trainer stuff just like you lol

[Neo-Dragon]

Me 3. lol.
I am going to do that idea (well something like it to) ha.
Gawd.
:P
Anyways, as usual, I love those screenshots, the tiles are amazing.

[blueguy]

Thanks a lot everyone! I've been busy working lately, but I've found a little time recently to come up with a new feature. Okeydokey, so... at the beginning of the game you will notice that a laptop is located in your room. Your grandma will make sure you pack it to bring along with you. At all Pokémon Centers, you now sit at a bar-like area with other trainers who are surfing the net. You get to use your laptop to do the regular "Deposit/Withdraw Pokémon" features of that computer that's always located in the right corner. I'm not sure what else the laptop will do... It all depends on what my limited skills will allow me to do. I think it would be neat to receive emails and stuff from home... Who knows...

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v237/colton_blue/screenshots6.png

I hope the Pokémon Center looks nice!

[Neo-Dragon]

Yeah it does look nice. The colors go really well together.

[Goatman56]

Man blueguy your still alive?

Anyway this is a game i'm interested in, can't wait to see what's next. I like the story and having increased difficulty is definently a plus for me, also swimming is gonna rock.

[Miralci]

Wow, very nice screenshots! I love the new Pokémon Center, and the idea of trainers camping at night and trainers that travel. Sporrow looks quite sad indeed :(

Maybe 1 point that can be better (just trying to help ;) ): the laptop. Maybe you can make the edges a bit darker? Or maybe you can give it a "fresh" look by making it white? =D

[Avatar]

I like the overall structure of the Center, although the floor looks slighty too busy. And the nurse's hair looks a bit weird, you might want to fix that.

[Wichu]

That's a pretty cool look for the Pokémon centre. Perhaps you should make the laptops a bit more 3D, though...

[Mechanic]

Or maybe, the laptop can be used to play minigames in it :] That would be pretty neat idea don'tcha think? (and no, im not talking about solitaire xD)

[Yuoaman]

That looks pretty cool, but you may want to tone down the colors of the floor tiles, just to make them a little less attention grabbing.... It looks nice though.

[HeavyOctillery]

Very nice screenshots. I like Bluebrr already (nice pun, there); quite the adorable little bugger. :P.

[blueguy]

I love Bluebrr too. XD It's gonna be on my team when I play.

Thank you for all your support and comments. I've taken all your suggestions and tweaked the Pokémon Center a bit. As of right now I'm working on it, as well as the PokéMart. I think I've finished all of Route C1. I might want to add a few things, but it's essentially done. Also, I'm feeling unpleased with the beginning of the game. I might consider having you live a bit outside of Periwinkle Town on a farm. Anyways...

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v237/colton_blue/screenshots7.png

I hope the center is better!

Oh, and also, there will be a different nurse for each center.

EDIT: And also... XD The door has been added, because I plan to allow a tour to the back room of the Pokémon Center, where you can go see a bunch of Pokémon and stuff. I'm still thinking about other stuff I can add to it.

And that reminds me that I'm going to try to make the lab look a lot more dynamic and lab-like, rather than filled with books.

[PokemonOI]

It looks great I really like your laptop feature.:\

[Atomic Reactor]

aww.
i just simply love all your custom graphics T_T


^_^

[Miralci]

Very nice ideas (again :p), especially the different nurses and the "tour in the pokécentre"

Keep up the good work =D

[Josh1billion]

Looks relatively simple, doesn't seem like you're straying far from what's already been done. Good luck, though.

[blueguy]

I'm not trying to reinvent the wheel. I'm making this little game as a hobby. I think it is as simple as any real or fan-made game in this forum. Also, it is a work-in-progress. There are a number of things I'd like to plan and do, and even things I haven't revealed.

[iRawr-x]

Wow, Nice game you've got there.
The screenshots make me want to play badly.

Keep up the good work. Do your best!

Batteries not included. XD

[blueguy]

I haven't had a lot of time to work on the game recently. Split shifts at work. UGH. Oh, and I just got my new and first ever laptop, so I've been busy switching over files and such. Anyhoo, I made a few new tiles for the PokéMart, but essentially just spruced up existing ones to my taste. (I really like the floor I made! ^_^) Two new features about the PokéMart...
1) You can buy magazines. Depending on the type you buy, you can find tips that may lead you to secret destinations and rare Pokémon, or instructions on how to teach your Pokémon new moves. Reading certain articles may even give boosts to stats. However, you just might waste your money accidentally and come across a large article about Magikarp.
2) There is a vending machine. There will be a variety of new drinks. EX: Green Tea, which will wake your Pokémon up and heal some HP.
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v237/colton_blue/screens1.png

EDIT: Oh, and the music for the Mart is a really nice MIDI of the original R/B/Y bike theme I found.

[Trace]

Articles about Magikarp? Oh god. :P How often do you get one?

[Saidai No Soba-Ya]

^_^ more great stuff bg.
oo mags lol. really likke the floor its just that the marts a bit small

[PokemonOI]

Your pokemart Idea is really cool. Keep up the good work its looking nice

[blueguy]

I'm currently rethinking the storyline. I like the progress I've made, but at the same time I feel that it is not "new" enough. It's just the same old thing. Right now I'm considering a sort of strange, dreamy overtone for the game, where you will awake out on the sea, stranded. A Lapras comes along, and you will need to ride her off to the mainland of the region. I'm also planning to restructure the region a bit. This Lapras may be your first partner, or it may not. I haven't decided. If you do receive a partner other than the Lapras, it will start off as an egg that will hatch relatively quickly.

I dunno... I guess I want the game to have a... different quality to it? I want it to be surreal, and yet believable and still within the basic premise of a Pokémon game.

[Neo-Dragon]

Excellent....
First word to come to mind after reading that last post by ya, Blueguy.
I want to play games different. As I said in my own thread, people already have played the official games, and anybody sane would enjoy a different experience.
Heck that's why Ranger and the Mystery dungeon games sell.

Run with the idea, Blueguy.
I'd love to see what ya come up with.

[H☆ZA]

Graveil is cute, is it the fire starter. Anyway it looks fun and the swimming is cool too.

[Fiery Dash]

I really love it! Especially the screen shots!!

Thanks a lot for your continuing support! XD It's very nice to hear.

It was planned to be the fire starter, but I realized that its Ghost-type would give it an unfair advantage. So, Fanglow, a Fire/Poison-type was planned, however, I'm not sure if there will be a traditional starter choice.

I'd like your opinions. Should Lapras be your "starter" or should you still get a choice as well?

(I've started remaking the opening events. I'm liking it. It's scored by the National Park theme... which is sort of spooky but peaceful. So far, you awake snoozing on a small, little bit of sand, when a Lapras happens to come by and wake you up. I made a cute, little snoring animation too. I'll post some screens once I'm satisfied and convinced that it is the way I want the game to begin.)

[Saidai No Soba-Ya]

hmmm lapras as the starter how exciting ^_^
keep it up!
i cant wait for heaps more screenshots ^_^

~signed Red Gyrados

[Atomic Reactor]

I don't think lapras should be your starter.
Or... well, could you get lapras than choose a little later?
or do you have to have only lapras?

[Yuoaman]

How about have the Lapras return later, to still give you a choice of a starter, to make it more fair. Or you could even make the Lapras another person's Pokemon, or just use it to Surf to islands and such... anyways good job. *Reads article on Magikarp fins*

[blueguy]

Thanks for the input! I think I'm going to have the Lapras be a recurring "character" for a little while until you've earned her respect and she wants to come with you. Therefore you will still have a starter "choice." However, the starter you "choose" will come in egg form. I'll toggle with it so that it will hatch very quickly, or perhaps after completing an event. Instead of the typical scenario, where the professor gives you a choice, I am planning something else... Something kooky and dreamy and weird. I kind of like the idea that the storyline is so blown open now. It's liberating but scary! XD

I'm not too sure if Sporrow will remain the Water starter. I would like to work on its sprite a bit more, as I did it over a year ago. So far, the only one I am fairly sure about is...

Fanglow (FIRE/POISON): It's little, cute and Dragon-ish... sort of like Charmander. Parts of it are red, and its back is charcoal. It has two horns and a very large mouth with two fangs. Its tail is pointed at the end and alight with flame. It can learn "fang" and mouth-oriented techniques, as well as a few Poison-types. I really like it. I guess it sounds a lot like Charmander, but once you see the sprite it'll be clear they're different, but definitely brothers from another mother. ;D

I'll still include Sporrow, but with a reworked sprite.

[blueguy]

No replies? I suppose that's 'cause you want eye candy. XD I found a really nice tutorial on how to make Sugimori-styled art, so, combining the nuggets of wisdom I gathered from it as well as my artsy-fartsy ways, I made my very first attempt at a picture of Bluebrr. I hope it's okay. ^.^ Oh, and it includes its moveset too.

Here's what my sketch (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v237/colton_blue/bluebrryeah.png) looked like... And here's what the magic of photo-editing has done to it...
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v237/colton_blue/bluebrr.png

[Saidai No Soba-Ya]

how cute ^_^
love the new attacks and such lol
what are the evos of "Bluebrr"?

(ps. my blue jay has the same name XD)

[~DarkAchu~]

Woah this game looks really promising and im gonna keep coming back and check your progress coz it looks supreme

[Miralci]

Very nice! =D

What do the attacks Flurry, Plush Down, and Azure Wing do? (I like the names btw, they sound like they could be in an "official" game)

P.S.: Can you give/PM me the link of that tutorial please? ^^

[Blazers]

I like that it looks nice.
Where was the tutorial you found?
I'd love to try it myself! =)

[blueguy]

Very nice! =D

What do the attacks Flurry, Plush Down, and Azure Wing do? (I like the names btw, they sound like they could be in an "official" game)

P.S.: Can you give/PM me the link of that tutorial please? ^^

Thank you. ;D Flurry is a basic, weak Ice attack, that may confuse the opponent. Plush Down greatly raises defense and is a Flying-type move. Azure Wing is a very powerful Flying-type move that may freeze the opponent. ;D Thanks!

how cute ^_^
love the new attacks and such lol
what are the evos of "Bluebrr"?

(ps. my blue jay has the same name XD)

Bluebrr evolves into a sleeker bluebird tentatively called Frostweet.

For those that want to try out the tutorial, here is a link (http://hallm3.deviantart.com/art/Sugi-style-tutorial-91765718).

I've been really racking my brain trying to decide on the direction for the plot and I'm so confused, but I'll hammer it out soon. I know I want it to have a darker, grittier tone... and I'm thinking that including some politics would be fun. So, in lieu of the plot, I've been working on new fakemon. Here's another bird aside from Bluebrr that you will find early in the game...

Puffish is based on the the puffin. I think it's pretty cute. It can learn Dive, and is an agile hunter. I was trying to redo the Water Starter, and I instead ended up with a puffin! XD Well, the new Water starter is going to be an aquatic cat that has soap-filled beads surrounding its neck... like a necklace. The story behind it is that it loves to dive deep in lakes, releasing its bubbles to thoroughly clean lakes. As it evolves it gets more of these aqua-colored beads on its back, and wings to glide more easily in the water. It's tentatively called Mercat.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v237/colton_blue/screens2.png

[Minorthreat0987]

Looking good blueguy! I like the puffin pokemon. Its interesting. I am eager to see the new water starter. Good luck I hope it turns out well. :)

[blueguy]

Thank you. ;D I hope it does too.

I also hope that my thread rating isn't one-starred too much more. In fact, some nice ratings would be good, seeing as I put a lot of hard work into the game and it definitely isn't a "1."

I wish that this whole thread rating system could be disabled, to be honest. It allows people to anonymously trash others' threads without reason. I don't believe I want to invite others to brand my work as a certain star rating, because it isn't their business to do so.

So, to anyone who's enjoyed the stuff I've posted, and the work I've done, I would appreciate it if you would help "fix" the rating. ;D

[~DarkAchu~]

I would love to see all the starters could you show them to us PLEASE

[Neo-Dragon]

I voted to help you out Blueguy. But to be honest, I never look at rating on a thread. I just open the thread, get a feel for the game and judge for myself lol.

I read that the storyline is kinda giving you a bit of a headache, as I said, I like how you've changed it's tone and I'm glad your going to make it darker.
Any movies, tv shows, books, games and so on you like yourself that you can draw inspiration from? Something like that, that can help you come up with some ideas like.

[Atomic Reactor]

I voted 5 stars :P

I love your game, idk what's not to like about it.
Honestly, the fakemon sprites could use a little bit of improvement.
But hey, nothing is ever perfect. well, that excludes your tiles.

^_^

I know Puffish's legs could use some more work. And I know they're not perfect. ;D Could you point out some of the flaws you see so I can improve upon them? I'm pretty contented with Bluebrr.

Thanks. ;D The storyline is bothering me! I don't want it to be the traditional evil team b/s, but I'm still unsure of what I want to do. Normally I'm good with these sort of things. I know I want to explore more "mythical," "magical" territory, as well as a sort of darker take on things... (not that "play as Team Rocket" stuff though ;D)

That whole Lapras beginning might not pan out, to be honest.

EDIT: I just got a huge wave of inspiration. I'll give you a brief snippet of my slew of new ideas. You begin the game as a very old, widowed person, living in a lonely, old, decrepit house by the sea, in the middle of nowhere. You have never gotten the chance to become a Trainer. In fact, you always feared training, because as a child the Charmander you received died, when its flame was extinguished in a bout of vicious, torrential weather. You always felt guilty for this mistake, and a result lived out your years uninvolved with Pokémon. One day, you see a strange light emanating from outside. It is the dead of winter. Following the light, you find it leads into the woods. As you follow you suddenly realize you have been magically transformed back into your thirteen-year old self. The time has not changed, simply your body. These woods are called Two-World Grove, and they lead into a region you have never set foot in.

Also, note that you cannot exit back through the way you came. Mysterious! In fact, if you try it will go on endlessly until you turn back.

^_^ I'm so happy. Inspiration is always so enthusing!

[ryushin5]

i like that idea it's cool and unique i never heard that in a pokemon game before if nintendo was looking at this thread right now they'll probably be kind of jealous and try to steal your idea:)

You begin the game as a very old, widowed person, living in a lonely, old, decrepit house by the sea, in the middle of nowhere. You have never gotten the chance to become a Trainer. In fact, you always feared training, because as a child the Charmander you received died, when its flame was extinguished in a bout of vicious, torrential weather. You always felt guilty for this mistake, and a result lived out your years uninvolved with Pokémon. One day, you see a strange light emanating from outside. It is the dead of winter. Following the light, you find it leads into the woods. As you follow you suddenly realize you have been magically transformed back into your thirteen-year old self. The time has not changed, simply your body. These woods are called Two-World Grove, and they lead into a region you have never set foot in.

Also, note that you cannot exit back through the way you came. Mysterious! In fact, if you try it will go on endlessly until you turn back.

^_^ I'm so happy. Inspiration is always so enthusing!

Sounds really good, kinda sounds like Majora's Mask(The Legend Of Zelda) a little bit, which is a good thing. I love the new twist on the story. Good luck panning this story out. I am excited to play this game even more now. It has a very exciting story line.

That Story Sounds Amazing i cannot wait

It's mainly the head, it just looks kinda awkward.
As you said, the feet do need a little touch up.
I think the head just looks weird, that's obviously just my opinion though.
Other than that it looks fine.
Sorry I couldn't tell you what about the head lol.
Keep up the good work :P

Maybe you could add the dead Charmander in the story. It can come back as a ghost or something like that?

I like the night screenshots, the game is quite well done and impressivly setup.

The swimming system looks very easy and quite simple.

Nice Pokemon Center and Pokemon Mart tiles, and I like the day and night system.
