A couple notes to our readers:

1) This is a GAME and not a hack
2) Made in RMXP (RPG Maker XP) with poccil's famous RMXP Pokemon starter kit (http://www.upokecenter.com/projects/pokestarter)
3) No betas, no alphas. Just a single, final release. That release period will be revealed before the release, so there's no throwbacks or sudden popups, but it will not be given right now.

Hey, why don't we take a minute for an Introduction?

Welcome, I am Collosalpokemon, the "leader," as one would call it, of Pokemon Origin. The main goal for Pokemon: Origin Version is to "take you back through the Origins of Pokemon" with stronger opponents, new features, old and new rivals, bigger cities, and new graphics. For information on Origin you may visit http://www.collosalpokemon.pokemondaisuki.com/Origin for the official website for Origin.

Suggestions:

Did you have a comment? Was it something you think should be in-game? Maybe you should send us a private message (http://www.pokecommunity.com/private.php?do=newpm&u=58198) instead. Ideas will be kept secret unless you would prefer yours would be known by others, we will respect your decision.

BOOOOOOOOOOOORING. What makes this game so different from all of the others?

Well, you might be asking that. I know that most of the Pokemon game's are similar to the next ones. Origin has a FULLY FUNCTIONAL Dual Screen system as well as a BRAND NEW feature that no one has ever accomplished in RMXP, an (almost) fully functional DSi REMAKE, but for RMXP.

http://collosalpokemon.pokemondaisuki.com/images/Pkmn_Origin_00024235jd9fH.jpg

I know that Luka S.J. has accomplished this already, but so far it's just me and him.

http://collosalpokemon.pokemondaisuki.com/images/DS!%20Logo.jpg

The DSi remake is named the DS! after the DSi. I will release further details in the future, but for now, just sit tight.

Factors - Defined:

Regional Factor:

Let me begin with the fact that Origin has 5 regions; Johto, Kanto, Hoenn, Sinnoh, and Orre. As well as a sub-region, the Orange Islands. Each with the ability of having an Underground and quite a bit more.

Each region has it's own, unique areas added and remodeled. With that said, the Elite 4 returns strong. With 4 rounds (a chance to heal after each match, off of a "wheel of fortune") before versing the actual Elite 4 members. Therefore, there are now 16 people to fight, 12 being semi-battles and 4 of them are the Elite 4.

With it's name being reimbursed, Orre returns with a full snagging feature. These shadow Pokemon know moves that normal Pokemon can't know, but have locked hearts, and the only way to purify these "Shadow Pokemon" is to take them to a special lab off of a port in Orre. Otherwise, you are not allowed to take these shadow Pokemon outside of Orre due to their illegal status.

A banking system gets brought throughout every region in Origin, allowing you to have (not carry though) more money than most other games. The bank can loan you money, store money you already have, and allow you to withdraw money you've stored.

The Game, Pokemon: Origin also features a wide variety of legendary Pokemon, all of them are obtainable in one way or another, whether it be by Online capabilities, giveaways, or catching them in-game, they're available.

With every Pokemon game comes TMs and HMs, Origin will have the all of the Original TMs but features slight changes in the HMs;

HM01 - Cut - Cuts down trees
HM02 - Fly - Allows you to flying to other cities
HM03 - Surf - Surfs on water
HM04 - Strength - Moves (or pushes) boulders
HM05 - Defog - Clears up fog
HM06 - Earthquake - Delivers a booming quake to the ground to smash special breakable rocks and/or walls within 10 movement spaces.
HM07 - Waterfall - Climbs waterfalls
HM08 - Rock Climb - Climbs rockwall-like surfaces

One way a person can get legendary Pokemon includes roaming species, they are tricky to locate due to the Pokedex's unability to track moving Pokemon. How do you find them??? That will be revealed soon...

Detailing back to the DS! mentioned earlier, a special series of WI-FI gifts will be available on certain dates. They might be an app for the DS!, or a pokemon/item/misc. for Origin. The WI-FI also includes battles, chatting, and trading with friends.

Plots -

Sinnoh's stories:

Sinnoh's Freezing Story:

Many Years ago, a Pokemon arrived in our world (Sinnoh), it ripped a dimensional hole on Mt. Coronet while entering, making sinnoh freezing cold while the hole hit the sinnoh region. The Pokémon was supposedly a Giratina, its cry was heard throughout sinnoh, but no one truthfully knew what it was. Dialga and Palkia seemed to have summoned it for but one reason; sinnoh's peace had disappeared, and the so called Giratina was supposed to fix the balance between humans. It roamed sinnoh for many years, until one day it vanished. No one knew where it went nor when the date it truely left sinnoh.


Sinnoh's Current Story:

Now, the climate has hit frozen again, and there have been rumors around sinnoh of the pokémon's return. No one knows if this is true, but team Galactic has been hiding something, possibly the Pokémon from the Sinnoh Freeze Report years ago? Hikers report the cry of the Pokémon coming from Mt. Coronet, but the Police have found nothing.


Hero's Main Story:

The Player has to fill up their Pokédex with data from Pokemon all over the world, bring down Team Galactic, AND solve to mystery of the Pokémon that was sent to sinnoh supposedly by Dialga and Palkia. With the freezing climate due to the unknown pokémon the players have to be in new outfits. Venturing through sinnoh will be a challenge this time because routes now have split directions, leading to what or where is currently unknown. The player will notice that the routes are longer, the cities got larger, and the people are getting stronger. Will the Pokémon be found? Will team Galactic succeed in capturing it? Will sinnoh remain freezing? This is all up to your choices.

This is a job that is probably the most important one, as this will be used to contain all the information on DreamTek, including game downloads and more!

Enterior Designers -4 positions
People who can alter already made furniture, and produce new kinds of furniture. That includes walls, chairs, tables, plants, windows, and anything else that would be indoors.

Tile Artists - 4 positions
I will only accept professional tile artists. The tiles must be neatly designed, and must have that type of pokemon sense about them. I will also look over each tile, and may suggest changes or revisions if nessesary. I also will be assigning city tile set projects that wil require tiles being made to look a certain way occasionally. You most likely will partake in the creation of cities and towns,however you may be assigned something else...

Overworld Spriters - 2 positions
This position is very important. I need people who can make many different variations of overworld sprites of NPC's, and also custom overworld sprites.

Character Sprite Alterator - 5 positions

This is a very special field. Your ideas must be at least somewhat realistic. These changes must be minor. This is one of my favorite factors about this game, I expect great creators for this field.

Website Developers - 0 position
A special field indeed.For this field you must be able to create a better website for team G.P., you still need to apply for this though.

Music Composer - 1 position

Closing Notes

Thank you for reading up about Pokemon: Origin Version, feel free to post/vm/pm us for questions/comments/suggestions.[/css-div]

[darkerarceus]

I forgot who put the 146 sprites of DP but that person gets credit(remind me who it was and I'll post the name)

Well since you forgot it's RM2K3KID i think

[blazefire]

hmmm defently a game to keep an eye on , so far looks nice cant wait to see futer updates.

[Crazyninjaguy]

Looks nice!
Look forward to more screenies ^^
What are the starters gonna be?

[Rennar]

Looks great! Will there be any new pokemon?

[CollosalPokemon]

Thanks you guys for positive reinforcement, but to answer a few questions:

- No new pokemon(unless you count the new rotom, giratina, and shaymin formes)

-Starters are: Turtwig, Chimchar, and Piplup.

-Darkarceus Thanks for the tip, I'll look into it(I mean anyone could lie just to get credit for anything, but I'll definitely look into it.)

[amarj3]

Just going to say a few things. I usually just go around here and read threads and dont post. I follow a couple of games on these forums but it looks like they will take years to finish and really develop slow and the game is original.

But this game at first sight I thought hmm another person who thinks he can make a good game and will have a crap game but after reading it and if you do implement the stuff you are talking about i simply cant wait. I really mean this when i say good luck, i was hoping their be a demo but i aint too bothered but this game looks very interesting. quick question? are ALL pokemon catchable? and may i suggest some things? try making a system for more than 4 moves...eg lev 1-40 max 4 moves pokemon can learn- up to 50- 5, 60- 6...

always which starters are available? all gens? and finally try to make a actual random pokemon league system in the end where there are say 100 trainers which the computer randomly chooses 1 etc

[CollosalPokemon]

I SWEAR IT WONT BE ONE OF THOSE CRAP ONES, ITS GOING TO BE GREAT.
90% of legends are catchable, the rest are event givaways, all pokemon are obtainable in some way or another, by event or by actually finding them. I am not an extreme scripter so I don't know how to make pokemon learn more than 4 attacks at once.Thank you for the encouragement.

[Daniel A.]

Wow nice, I will keep an eye on this. Can I ask you a question about editing text and stuff?

[TeddiursaFan]

Your rowan sprite for the intro looks kind of blurry (you can see the line around it). Looks like a good game so far, though.

[CollosalPokemon]

Wow nice, I will keep an eye on this. Can I ask you a question about editing text and stuff?

Sure ask anything freely, fire away.

TeddiursaFan:

Thank you for the compliment, I guess your right, most of these pictures are temporary, or are going to be minorly edited.

[Daniel A.]

How do you add ini files to a Pokemon Emerald ROM. I have the INI file in a pokemon emerald folder, with the game. How can I put them together so I can use advanced text and have it completely done..

Sorry, I'm one of those n00bs. :D

Maybe I should be asking you via pm..heh..

Oh, no, no this isn't a rom hack, I just thought you meant something about text in my game.

[Daniel A.]

Oh so this game is completely from scratch?

[CollosalPokemon]

Oh so this game is completely from scratch?

Well, it was started with poccils famous starter kit, but otherwise yes, completely from scratch, also if this was a rom hack, I would have put it in the hacks showcase section....

[Daniel A.]

AWESOME :)!

I'll be sure to play it!

[TeddiursaFan]

This IS A GAME NOT A HACK!

This is what he said in the first post, Daniel.

[~JV~]

Im just saying hi, im the new Pokemon Variant Conceptor and Mapper for this project!

[CollosalPokemon]

Well since you forgot it's RM2K3KID i think

Thank you for the name, honestly.

Also, to answer a painful question to some of you... NO DEMO ONLY THE FULL RELEASE for personal reasons

[DePokemonMaster1324]

I have always wanted to play a pokemon game like this. All of the REGIONS (may have spelled it wrong)! I Can't wait! and also Good Luck!

[CollosalPokemon]

Thank you for the compliment, I am going to update with a new feature tommorow, so make sure to check back for that.

[Likewise]

okay, sorry to burst your bubble but...
the features are great, so is the story. but i must say this was excecuted horribly!
for one your using dp sprites with fire red graphics, that doesn't work! use keyldoves tileset, also resize the rowan sprite in the intro, it is way to small!
sorry if i was harsh.......

I would but their not in rmxp format...or atleast from what I could tell.

[shinylugia249]

I would but their not in rmxp format...or atleast from what I could tell.
They're not in rpg xp format. You'll have to do that yourself. It's not that hard, i've done it myself.

[CollosalPokemon]

They're not in rpg xp format. You'll have to do that yourself. It's not that hard, i've done it myself.

I can't do it though, as whenever I try It always come out pixelated.

[shinylugia249]

resize it in paint by 200*200 and then put in into the tileset format.

[CollosalPokemon]

?, do you mean add or subtract it because I tried both.

[Ravecat]

A creator who doesn't know how to use RMXP...

Nice.

[CollosalPokemon]

A creator who doesn't know how to use RMXP...

Nice.

No, I know how to use it, I'm just not a tilesetter...

[amarj3]

Why are people being rude to this guy? it is pretty pathetic how people seem to be acting. seems to be they might be a bit jealous of something.

Anyway tilesets are the edges of a game. the storyline and gameplay will decide how good it really is...keep up the good work

[CollosalPokemon]

Thank you, though I don't need protecting. However I do agree tilesets are edges, but they are important for sure.

Ok, today was an update with 5 new features!

[SethCullen]

Wow This looks great! I hope to see this when it gets big! Great Job! The wifi might be hard though.

[CollosalPokemon]

Wow This looks great! I hope to see this when it gets big! Great Job! The wifi might be hard though.

Yeah it will be, maybe I should put a wifi job up there, I don't know who can other than poccil and flameguru though. Thanks for the great comment, I thought I'd never see one again without the D/P tileset.

[Ravecat]

No, I know how to use it, I'm just not a tilesetter...
Go ahead and prove me wrong.

I must say I look forward to these features if you can actually implement them.

And I gotta respect you for not needing protection from one big meanie on the internet.

[shinylugia249]

Were you reffering to me? I wasn't trying to be mean i was just trying to help out.

[CollosalPokemon]

ShinyLugia249:

No, I wasn't referring directly to you, thank you for telling me how to reformat the tiles, I'll work on them as best as I can.

Emerald Ex:

Go ahead and prove me wrong.

I must say I look forward to these features if you can actually implement them.

And I gotta respect you for not needing protection from one big meanie on the internet.

EVERY Feature has ALREADY been looked over and thought of anyway players can bypass these feature, calculated and anything else, including the entire flying factor.

I might not be a tilesetter, but I know how to make games.

And yes, I SWEAR I'll prove you wrong.

[Ravecat]

Settle down.

I'm glad you actually know what you're doing... :)

and I apologize for jumping to conclusions in the first place.

[CollosalPokemon]

Ok, I finally got them practically ready, here's a preview of some trees I got:

I WILL NEVER WRITE THOSE ANSWERS IN THE REGULAR POSTS, THEY ARE ALREADY IN THE SECTION!!!!!!!!!!

[CollosalPokemon]

Thank you for the compliment, always a pleasure to have them!

I am sorry about the booted out thing people, I GOT HACKED.

[Xaviar]

If you still need the Sinnoh Tiles, look in 4th Gen Matt's Resource Pack topic.

Also, regarding your maps... They seem to be too roomy, especially the inside ones. Try adding furniture or shrinking the size of the map.

I am working on the tiles, the maps are outdated, and I couldn't do anything yesterday as I was hacked and booted out, though I am back on track today.

[super arrow]

Wow this looks amazing when is the release?

[CollosalPokemon]

Wow this looks amazing when is the release?

Thank you for the compliment ^^, but I told everyone in the details NOT to ask for the release if you read to the end/the end. =\

[CollosalPokemon]

Sorry, I have been absent from here for a little while. I have been on the job though. New Pictures will be up. Finished the sinnoh tileset, and working on some more tiles.

Always good seeing things like this!

This game seems quite interesting, but it does need A LOT of work.

The first screenshot looks fine, but the mapping needs an immense amount of work, even for a a small, indoor map.

The second screenshot looks like it was just simply done in Paint with a few random tools. The text isn't centered, as well.

The third screenshot looks like you just took the starter kit, removed the background, added one color, and added a smaller Rowan (even when RPG Maker XP takes 2x images), without even bothering with text.

The fourth screenshot looks very odd, because you just used Ruby cave tiles and put D/P overworlds on it.

You also say that you made the images to .JPEG files to prevent stealing, but there is nothing to steal. Even games like Pokémon Amethyst, Acanthite, etc. make their images .PNG files, and don't worry about someone stealing from them.

Well, I know the graphics that you point on are poor; I made better ones, I just kept those as place holders until the real ones were done so I could meet the requirements, they will not be used in game, will update with better maps, etc... today.

[KingOfDarkness]

hey Collosalpokemon just some questions i would like to ask, number 1 are you baseing any of this on the anime example haveing gary/other people like that, number 2 will you be able to get all the starters from each reagion, number 3 will you make your own badges and towns.

[CollosalPokemon]

1) Well, the Orange Islands might, as there are no real nintendo games with them.

2) Every pokémon will be obtained somehow, I cannot release any more info on this as it will be kept secret until the release of different events.

3) Well, the Badges will be from Sinnoh, but the Towns will be made by ourselves.

[Hamako-chan]

hey CollosalPokemon i need the original sprites for lance and bruno, i'll try to make them D/P style.

[CollosalPokemon]

Alright; Updates all around the block.

Ranging from new pics to a new member!

[Hamako-chan]

Hey i finished the Bruno Sprite... took me a while to do.

[Hamako-chan]

i'll post the bruno image as an attachment that might work

[CollosalPokemon]

i'll post the bruno image as an attachment that might work

Thank you, the attachment has been received.

[Hamako-chan]

Heres the Icon for the Super Ball
I'll be adding more soon :D

[tanzenorkan]

hey, mate, not sure exactly what type of format you plan on using throughout the whole game, whether it will be traditional or something of your own design. Regardless of what you choose, I suggest that you make the game movement fast. I am specifically thinking about the large difference between fire red/leaf green and diamond and pearl. In fr/lg, the game sequences moved quickly, for example, the transition from free roam into a battle was fast, and then from selecting an attack to executing the attack, to the enemy attacking was fast. In D/P, it was very slow and frustrating. It takes forever to get through simple battles like farming the elite four. So, I suggest that you make your transitions between different screens and options fast, which may seem obvious, but my biggest frustration with D/P was how slow it was, so I thought I'd mention it. =)

Best of Luck to you!

In D/P, it was very slow and frustrating. It takes forever to get through simple battles like farming the elite four. So, I suggest that you make your transitions between different screens and options fast, which may seem obvious, but my biggest frustration with D/P was how slow it was, so I thought I'd mention it. =)

Best of Luck to you!
I don't really know; I haven't had many requests for that, so i am not sure of what other's think of it. But if people say they want it. I think it can be added.

Thank you, always a pleasure hear consruction ideas and comment :)

[KingOfDarkness]

Can you please put Crystal Onix in the Orange Islands and the gaint tentacruel from episode Tentacruel & Tentacool and place like Bulbasaur's Mysterious Garden if you could put things in like this i would like to help but i don't know how to use the programes (sad face)

I don’t know if other people have wanted to do this but i think you should put New Island(Mewtwo's island) from pokemon movie 1, Fire Island(Moltres) to get the fire-based sphere + Lightning Island (Zapdos) to get the lightning-based sphere + Ice Island (Articuno) to get the ice-based sphere from pokemon movie 2, The mansion to battel the Crystal Pokémon of molly created by Entei from pokemon movie 3, to goto the Lake of Life (Celebi's home) from movie 4, to go to the water-themed johto city of Altomare (Latias and Latios home) from pokemon movie 5, to see the Millennium Comet, which appears in the night sky for seven days once every thousand years. It is, at the same time, when the legendary Pokémon Jirachi awakens from a long slumber to absorb the comet's energy from pokemon movie 6, to go to the place were Deoxys and Rayquaza battel from pokemon movie 7, to go to Cameron Palace where a festival is being held to celebrate Sir Aaron and enter the battle and win Aura Guardian and see Lucario and mew also to go to Tree of Beginning to battel Regirock, Regice and Registeel the tree's guardians from pokemon movie 8, to go the Temple (Manaphy's home) from pokemon movie 9, to go to the Space-Time Tower to see Palkia, Dialga and Darkrai battel from pokemon movie 10, to go to the Reverse World and see Giratina, Shaymin, Dialga and Regigigas and what ever else happens from pokemon movie 11 and the events from movie 12 if possible. I think by putting this in the game it would make it 100x better in my opinion.

Actually all those, discluding the tentacruel, are possible in RMXP. But again, they wouldn't be easy. I would have to get some requests for them.

[KingOfDarkness]

kk thanks for letting me know is there any thing i can help with?

[CollosalPokemon]

Well, now at the time we really need better graphics. But if you can/have an animated titlescreen script we really could use it.

[KingOfDarkness]

hmm sorry i can't help you there

[CollosalPokemon]

[CollosalPokemon]

Well, we do have mappers, and spriters, so if you have idea that everyone would like, I would love to hear it.

Reason being for the other one (about the movie events) is some people hate the movies/T.V. shows. I only dislike the T.V. shows for my own reasons... movie are O.K. . Some other's may have opinions that differ so I want to try to make the game good for everyone.

I don't know, it would take a good deal of spriting for those Pokemon.


By the way, to anyone who reads this, I have completed a few maps and they will be up soon.

I would like to be a Character Sprite Alterator.

That would be great, but could you fill out the application? Possibly show some examples?

hey collosal, i could make a crystal onix sprite (in battle)

Alright, I think a crystal Onyx would be cool. Lets see it xD

A'right, time for a critting...
After failing miserably to catch Dialga and Palkia, team Galaxy Huh? What happened to Team Galactic? is at it again - but for who,what,and where You had better have answers for that...they're dissolved for the most part.??? You need to bring team Galaxy down(Yet again) and with recent climate changes it won't be that easy Okay, so buy an umbrella...or go t0o Hoenn and steal one from a Parasol Lady (or whatever that trainer class is called)..

Your goal was to complete Rowan's pkdex, not to go crimefighting....Battle your way through sinnoh and keep earning up your badges A new set of badges? Doing all eight of the same ones would get boring...and we know that there are >8 badges per region 'cause of all of the different Kanto badges we've seen thus far.

[Ninja Tree]

Wi-fi? So those without a wi-fi gateway that still have internet access are screwed.

[CollosalPokemon]

A'right, time for a critting...

...[/primarilybackstory] What happens in the actual game plotwise (garnering Johto badges doesn't really cut it...that's boring)? Or is that 'confidential'...?

Well, you see its confidential, but I do need a better story.

As for you questions though:

Question:
After failing miserably to catch Dialga and Palkia, team Galaxy Huh? What happened to Team Galactic?

Answer:

I mean't team Galactic. they are called team Galaxy in the Japanese game, I am just used to playing it in japanese - sorry about that.

Question:

is at it again - but for who,what,and where You had better have answers for that...they're dissolved for the most part.???

Answer:

The Star Pokemon - it should be very obvious - But its Giratina Origin Forme at the Torn World.

Question:

You need to bring team Galaxy down(Yet again) and with recent climate changes it won't be that easy Okay, so buy an umbrella...or go t0o Hoenn and steal one from a Parasol Lady (or whatever that trainer class is called)..

Answer:

Just trying to fill up space - again, I need a longer plot.

Question:

Preparing for your journey you have no choice but to change your suit because of a new icy climate in the area,where the rumered Team Galaxy are supposedly heading to Why is that your business? Your goal was to complete Rowan's pkdex, not to go crimefighting....Battle your way through sinnoh and keep earning up your badges A new set of badges? Doing all eight of the same ones would get boring...and we know that there are >8 badges per region 'cause of all of the different Kanto badges we've seen thus far. Take a location from the anime or something...

Answer:

Hah, you still don't get it - the Player gets involved with the police and joins!

Questions:

because after winning the elite 4 you hear of brand new areas such as Johto, and Kanto Just being available to go to.


A)so we're not in Sinnoh at all? B)you're seriously having all of those regions?

C)how can you keep gameplay interesting while covering so much area?

D)can you write an elegant-enough story to prevent pointless adventuring?

Answers:

A) Of course sinnoh will be in; the player starts there.

B) Of course, I have some secrets to make it interesting.

C) Mmm, well, I am not a good story writer, but a game maker is what I'm good at.

Question:

A boat comes in at canalave city and the sailor will allow you on to his ship as he rambles on about a new evil team somewhere in the Johto region Wouldn't it work better for you to be speaking to Jasmine in Sunyshore about this? It IS a port (isn't it?), so it would not be a crime to stick a ferry there......

Answers:

A) No, you see, jasmine doesn't own a boat!

B) Its NOT a port, its a way to swim to the Elite 4.

Question:

the location and true identities of this evil team are currently unknown to anyone Team Galaxy? ~_~.Johto has had ratical redesign What's with people altering Johto? Just add a few towns... so their location won't be any ordinary picnic to find.So you sail onward to Johto and when you get there there's proffessor Elm in his lab ...wouldn't you end up in Olivine? Long trek if you ask me..., busy as ever, tells you to choose a pokemon(same pokemon as in GCS Nom, it ain't. He gives you a pkmn in GSC 'cause you need it to successfully and safely complete his errand to Mr. Pokemon. He had a reason to give it to you last time. Does he have the same selfish motives this time? He's a researcher, not a charity service...).

Answer:

It won't be just adding a few towns; there will be new People, Routes, and Cities. On top of that the old ones will be redesign to be larger and stronger.

Question:

But before that you have to be careful of new suprises. Pokemon are now needing to change (due to new climate) Can you explain the climate differences? Or is this just a facsimile of Pt without sufficient though-over-ness?

Answer:

The cold climate is; but different regions will have different climates. Such as the Orange Islands might be Boiling hot, so pokemon will need to have alt formes for that.

Question:

and the people are getting stronger as well. Are you sure you can manage all this in sinnoh ...but we're in Johto.??

Answer:

Yeah, I meant Johto xD

Question:

People around different places may have hints of to where Team Galaxy is going Why are you tailing them? The hero of DPPt was completing Rowan's dex. What does that mission have to do with collecting Johto badges or tailing Team Galaxy? Is there a reason at all?

Answers:

A) They have stolen Dialga and Palkia's Orbs from Mt. Coronet and they want to allow Giratina Origin Forme in their world to catch it.

B) The is a reason, the Player gets involved with the police through a way I am still going to hold on to, please don't ask about it. And the Player gets to join the sinnoh police.

Question:

, but nobody knows for sure...Can you find out where Team Galaxy is headed to this time? What are they scheming, and what pokemon are they after now? ...*a few short blinks*

Answer:

Scheme: To use Dialga and Palkia's orbs to awaken Giratina's Origin Forme.

Question:

Venturing all over the pokemon world, with a load of enemies, and friends is the key. Talk around town to learn cool things that just might save you later...but be cautious some people you talk to may be there...but not after you talk to them.Heed this warning: for whom you may think is the way won't be here to stay. On a final Question, will you be able to take down team Galaxy and all the other evil organizations You mean there're more? Why? once and for all(or so as everything in the pokemon world seems)?

Answer:

A) Yes, there are more.

B) To make the game more difficult; the Evil Organizations have stepped up a far bit.

Wi-fi? So those without a wi-fi gateway that still have internet access are screwed.

No, not exactly, some of the events will be by code rather than wi-fi. I predicted some people not being able to use wi-fi who wanted events. Don't worry, I try to program the game to be great for anyone ;)

[Nytkoi]

Besides a great story and good other things, the screenshots sort of fail. :/ I don't really like them. The tiles are okay, yet overused. I'm not saying this game is bad, it just needs graphical help. Get some more screenshots up there, please. ;P

[~JV~]

Im happy to see that this game is back, but as nytkoi said, you need to improve your mapping, also, I dont have time to work/help you project anymore, please remove me from the team.

[CollosalPokemon]

The plot was just updated, how does it look?

[Hamako-chan]

ohh very nice are you doing any other anime/movie specials ?Yes we are doing most anime/movie specials in the game.

[CollosalPokemon]

Yes we are doing most anime/movie specials in the game.

Actually only a few of them. To appeal to those who like the anime.

[KingOfDarkness]

Question about crystal onix will you class it as an legendary, also will you have the Red Gyarados

[Spirit of Dialga]

This is the best game I have ever seen!

[Mrchewy]

So far... it looks like you've just dreamt up a whole ton of features with no clue how to implement them. Sorry for being harsh, but prove me wrong. All you've got to show are a few very amateurish screenshots; to be honest it looks like you have no idea what you're doing.

If you actually have properly started making this game, you really should show some progress as you haven't given any updates since you posted the topic (nearly a month ago now).

[CollosalPokemon]

Its not dreamt up -- I have enough progress to make a videos. And pretty much all the script and events have been made.

[Mrchewy]

Its not dreamt up -- I have enough progress to make a videos. And pretty much all the script and events have been made.

In that case, show us. Sorry for being snappy, but it's been three months since you've shown us any indication of progress, and there's not much keeping this in the Showcase as-is.

[Theik]

A lot of your 'features' make no sense. Wi-fi? On a PC? That's just normal internet, why would it matter if it's wi-fi or not?

And this just makes me scratch my head:
Honey Trees:

Sweet Honey trees make a return in Pokemon Origin, though instead of % chances, the battles are random!

Percentages are a way of making things random, but giving one a priority. The idea is that something with 10% has less chance than something with 90%, but in the end it's still random. Saying your honey trees 'won't have % chances but are random' is like saying your dice 'won't have 16.7% chance to end up on a 6, but it's random'.

O.K., let me explain, the GTS will be in the game; therefore needing a special connection in the game (internet) which is called wifi in origin because it is naturally called that when in normal games.

I have no clue as to how that thing on the Honey Trees got up there. The Trees have been redone -- But I don't remember posting that. Will edit it.

In that case, show us. Sorry for being snappy, but it's been three months since you've shown us any indication of progress, and there's not much keeping this in the Showcase as-is.

okay, I am going to release some more things but I am not sure how long it will take, you see:

I had to go back to my old house and the computer I have there is a dinosaur of technology today -- a Windows XP 2001. I can try to get some stuff up, but it might not be able to be until tuesday (coming back to normal house on that day).

[Hamako-chan]

Hey, Collosal, I finished making the Crystal Onix Icon.

[KingOfDarkness]

hey Itachi Senpai kl Crystal Onix Icon.

[CollosalPokemon]

Actually, Itachi, I meant the OW, my bad xD

[CollosalPokemon]

Update, for the third time, let's get it right:

- 1st official SHADOW POKEMON revealed.

- 2nd official VARIANT POKEMON revealed.

- 1st DUAL SCREEN SHOT for the public. I wasn't lying about it.

- More screens and variants will be posted soon.

The dual screen is being developed by a friend, this is why it has the title "Pokemon Essentials" and doesn't have my map in the background. I will hopefully receive the script today. The titlescreen will have an animation to it.

[victorspvl]

O Great

I can't wait to see this!

[CollosalPokemon]

A preview is available in the beginning of the thread, in case you don't know, here is a working beta of the dual screen, it will improve:

http://img144.imageshack.us/img144/9782/dualscriptfixstarterkitkj2.png

[Hamako-chan]

Heres the Rainbow Ninetales

[darkerarceus]

That Rainbow Ninetales looks nice!
There is a 99% chance i will support this game.
Yawn..going to bed see ya!

[CollosalPokemon]

It is really nice Itachi!
Support banner is on its way (sorry for the delay to anyone who was waiting for it).

[Nytkoi]

Well, finally you show something intresting. No offense, but you're really making very slow process, and you have such a long 'features' list I'm going to bet some cash half
of them will never get finished. I also agree with Mrchewy on everything posted. Other than that, I'm impressed. I like the dual screen! :)

[blueguy]

When taking screenshots of your project, you can use the PrintScreen key, but please resize and cut out the excess.

[PyroDX]

My current beef with the "dual screen" screenshot is the fact that all it looks like you did was change the resolution, and not actually incorporate a working dual screen system.

[InMooseWeTrust]

We all have to start somewhere, and he's probably in the process of scripting the bottom screen.

You can't expect anybody to get things perfect the first time around, not even Captain Arcane.

CollosalPokemon, if you are really trying to implement a second screen, then I wish you luck in your work.

[CollosalPokemon]

PyroYahtzee:

WRONG, this is a beta of the script, in which a friend is developing for me. Here is a video to prove he actually knows what he's doing:

<object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/Zkjf7EnGasA&hl=en&fs=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/Zkjf7EnGasA&hl=en&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object>

This script was for his own SK, so he's in the process of converting it for poccil's SK.

InMooseWeTrust:

Thank you for some positive reinforcement, your right as the script is not 100% complete YET. I am hoping to receive it before the weekend's end to prove that Origin will be the 1st working dual screen RMXP game HERE.

Note: I understand there have been dual screen games here, but Origin is the 1st one made with RMXP.

[darkerarceus]

That looks pretty awesome!
But I recommend for him to include just a
line instead of Pokemon Blue Pearl for the dual screen.

[CollosalPokemon]

Yes, well. I will ask him about that. I can modify it if he won't mod it for me.

[PyroDX]

I wasn't accusing you of not scripting it, I believed you, it's just that I didn't want you getting very many comments like that without showing proof. ;)

[CollosalPokemon]

I am sorry I overreacted. I couldn't expect anyone to beleive something as far as dual screen on RMXP. As it is not done around here. For this I apologize. But there is proof that I will get the script and proof of it working (in the video). I am sorry for overreacting to your post.

[~JV~]

Yes, its looks like your friend really knows what he was doing, but I ask myself, what's the point of a dual screen on a PC game...? It looks really odd to play at a screen where the height is a lot bigger than the screen width. Anyways, thats still something new here ;p.

[rhevarhe_duh]

Dual screen feature is great! Nice update.
Hmm.. BTW, the dual screen feature would be better if we can use mouse on the second screen (like NDS).
Keep up the good work!

[CollosalPokemon]

The point of Dual Screen is to be different, as it hasn't been used here yet. I can look into a mouse feature.

[xzeldax3]

would you be able to put this on a nintendo DS simcard and play it with the dual screens? like a ROM file or something?

[Wichu]

I couldn't expect anyone to beleive something as far as dual screen on RMXP. As it is not done around here.
You did kinda overreact; I don't see why people wouldn't believe it (Pokémon HydroBlue, although made in Game Maker, had a working dual screen with mouse functions). I was thinking about using dual screen in Amethyst myself, too; I'll probably leave it for now, though. It's nice to see others being creative with the scripts, though.

Unfortunately, no. I don't think the DS is powerful enough to run RGSS, anyway...

EDIT: As for the mouse feature, here's some tips. There is a Mouse module in the PokemonAnimEditor section; the mouse position is obtained by using Mouse::getMousePos.
If the cursor is outside the game window, it will return nil. Otherwise, it will return an array consisting of the x and y values of the mouse (relative to the window; if the game is running at half-size, the x and y are multiplied by 2 to keep the returned values within the same range).
A mouse click can be detected using Input.triggerex?(0x01); 0x01 is the hex value for the left mouse button. Input.releaseex?, Input.pressex? and Input.repeatex? work the same way. The right mouse button is 0x02, if you need to use that.

[Hamako-chan]

Here are some Pokemon Variants that CollosalPokemon might want to use in Pokemon Origin.
Gyrados Variants

The Red Gyrados is found is a special species of Gyrados found near the borders of the Orange Islands. Due to the intense heat of the Orange Islands, the Red Gyrados has to change its skin into a reddish color to protect it from the heat.
http://img213.imageshack.us/img213/3884/130svr7.png

The Golden Gyrados is a very rare species of Gyrados. It is only found around the Orange Islands and is very hard to catch. The Golden Gyrados glows brightly in the ocean and you can only catch it at some time of the day. There are only 3 of them to catch, which classify it as "Super Rare" and you can show off to your friends if you ever catch one!

The Rainbow Ninetales is a mythical maybe legendary Pokemon that lived hundreds of years ago. Theres only one of this Pokemon in the game.

I'll be adding more variants later on!

[Wolfwhispers]

Wow, this looks really amazing! I'm sorry, but I don't know anything about pixels or creating hacks or games, so I can't offer any constructive critism for you, but if there's ever anything storywise that you might be confused about I would love to help. Sorry if I seem a bit forward but I enjoy giving out tips or opinions that can help someone grow in what they enjoy doing. I've already enjoyed looking at this storyline and the offered sprites that I'm sure to see in the future game.

I do have a question. When this is released, would we be able to play it with something like VisualBoy or something else?

Its going to take a very long time to complete this game and theres no actually deadline.
When we finish the game, we'll post it up for you to download. You play the game using RGSS Player, which you is included with the download. And I'm not so sure if this game is playable on Visual Boy Advance.

[CollosalPokemon]

No, it NOT PLAYABLE ON VBA. Geez, no one reads the top of the thread anymore.

EDIT:

My thoughts on these variants:

Red Gyarados - Already in all pokemon games; its just a shiny one. No need for it to be a variant.
Golden Gyarados - It looks like too much like a carbon copy of a shiny magicarp. It won't be used.
Rainbow Ninetails - Its fine.

[Eltono Burn]

Wow! This game looks amazing!
I just joined PokeCommunity so I don't know much about game making but this game
looks like a very convincing game to play.
I hope this game finishes soon.
And those pokemon pictures look really cool.

P.S Red scyther = BA

[CollosalPokemon]

I am sorry for my 3-week absents; however, I have an update that will involve graphics and variants. (tonight) it will start now.

First of all, lets start with the BAG screen:

http://img4.imageshack.us/img4/7087/capture012.jpg

[vivek_chat]

wow the game looks very promising and is filled with excellent features and the screenshots and the video look really cool ;)
This is definately a good game to watch when in production and the dual screen also tops it off!
Overall this is an excellent game,ill be sure to support it !!:rambo:

[Eltono Burn]

Lol, Its been a while since I saw any update for this game :classic:
I liked how you put the background for the bag.
Can't wait to see more screenshots!

I came up with pretty much all the variants, but the credit goes to Oblivion for making these great variants. (actually, he didn't make XD001, I got it off a website that says give credit and anyone may use it)

[BillNye]

im guessing u aren't using the starter kit, r did you fix it to make the dual screen?
anyway, nice job, and i will keep an eye on it! ^^

[CollosalPokemon]

I'm using poccils SK, I made some modifications. Thank you for the support ^^

great job!

On the Lugia? It could be that it is from a different pallet, we're thinking about changing it.

Actually, we didn't do the Lugia, but we did give credit to the author (which is the only thing they asked for)

Anyways, support banner is finally available:

sorry to douple post but i'm the one who wants to be the mapper if you remember the PM conversation

[Hall Of Famer]

Glad to see your game going well, CP!

[Luka S.J.]

So...is the dual screen working and ready for play, or are you still working on it?

[Arcelio]

Impressive looking game. I can't wait to try it out. No rush though, so take your time. Snagging, eh? I like it! I've always liked snagging, but I wonder...how do you plan to incorporate it into a battle? Will it be at the end of the battle, the last trainer's pokemon, or will the battle end and then you have to go one on one with the Shadow Pokemon? Regardless, I look forward to release of a alpha, beta, or anything really.

[The_Virus21]

All things that will spoil the next update have been spoilered, so read them if you want to have the next update partially spoiled.

New Sprites,

[CollosalPokemon]

@> Hall Of Famer:

Actually, I do. Sorry it took so long for the reply.

I recently updated the thread, mostly just reconfiguration and not actual updates, however, I did include the first screenshot of Origin's Dual Screen feature, the title screen:

http://collosalpokemon.pokemondaisuki.com/images/Pkmn_Origin_00024235jd9fH.jpg

As well as a logo for something new called the CDS! :

And a simple support Banner (Finally) :

[MajorLeagueGamer]

Looks great! Will there be a demo? And If so will it be soon?

[CollosalPokemon]

No, no demos, alphas, betas, etc...

I prefer not to have buggy/incomplete versions because they usually differ too much from the finalized games. I did mention that and stuff about not to ask for dates in the thread...

[Hamako-chan]

Nice, you perfected the Dual Screen System ^^

[Birdybot]

Wow, this has come a long way. I might be able to do some composing for you, I'll PM you the form when we manage to get the software working on my laptop. :)

[Luka S.J.]

I have to say that I don't like the resolution of the screen, it is too streched and the frame around it annoys me a bit. Also showing a title screen still doesnt show much proof of a functioning dual screen, anyone can easily make that screenshot in paint or any other program. I'm beginning to doubt the existance of the dual screen as you haven't shown much proof of it.

[Alexandre]

@> Hall Of Famer:

http://collosalpokemon.pokemondaisuki.com/images/Pkmn_Origin_00024235jd9fH.jpg

To be quite frank with you mate. I don't like it. I wouldn't play the game with that ugly, fat, pixelated logo in the middle, especially when it sticks out onto the game screen. And I hope the border is optional, because it doesn't add to the "niceness".

I understand you guys already made a Dual Screen script before me, I'm fine with that. I could actually say numerous nasty things about Blue Chrome, but I won't stoop to such a miniscule level.

[Luka S.J.]

I'm just having my doubts, I personally don't care about it's looks, but do think that the screen is a bit too streched compared to its height. I don't want to be putting anyone off. I had high hopes for this game, and i'm just left dissapointed with the lack of visual aid. You didn't post any updates for a long time and the newest screenshot is just of the title screen, which for me isn't much.

[PokemonOI]

here are my thoughts on this. I agree that the resolution could be a bit smaller. but by no means am I taking their side. your right they could have said it in a better manner. I too want to see more proof of the dual screen, not because I dont believe but because I want to see your game in the dual screen mode thingy lol. but again they were a bit mean about it

[Luka S.J.]

Ok...I would like to give you some friendly advice. You should resize the height of your game window to at least 640 pixels. That's my height, and I'm still having alot of trouble fitting in all the things needed. You do need that extra height, especially if the screenshot was taken in essentials 480 x 320 resolution. I don't think that you'll be able to fit the complicated things such as a battle system into that window. It's a bit too small.

[1ninjadude1701]

i sent you the maps CP PM me with status

[HeavyOctillery]

A dual screen thing for XP? That's definitely innovative. Is it an emulator, or is it just for Origin? Either way, you've given me a reason to keep an eye on this.

EDIT: This appears to be my 100th post. Um, yay. :P

[CollosalPokemon]

@> Luka S.J. and Pokemon OI

Here is a brand new shot, map-wise this time. Including a brand new thing, Trainer Stars like Pt but on the bottom screen of maps so you can keep track of the stars you have:

http://img36.imageshack.us/img36/1659/pokorigindstown.jpg

The black border is also new, but not necessary. Using an app for the DS Index you can skin it in the following colors, to add more personality to your game:

Opt. 1) Black
Opt. 2) Red
Opt. 3) Blue
Opt. 4) Yellow
Opt. 5) Green
Opt. 6) Purple

@> HeavyOctillery

It is not played on an emulator, just RMXP, but I plan on having a special feature to make it seem like your actually playing on a real DS.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I worked on a new thing for Origin today, and I would like to release it's website :

The site has all the information from here, but it keeps the info in better-to-understand sections than simply on a single page.

Nice update CP, I really dig the new features. It appears that you are using the platinum tiles ripped directly from NO$GBA, and I suggest revamping them a little bit so they look less blurry(but not to take away the 3D visual effect).

[CollosalPokemon]

I know that I've been really late at updates and all, nearly a month goes by before there is one small one, but I will attempt to not let this happen. I have a busy life but I enjoy computers, so I will start this small thing right now and ammend the update very, very soon with more shots and info:

http://www.collosalpokemon.pokemondaisuki.com/images/capture011.bmp

Wai.......what's the Ranger menu about? Aren't we using HGSS or DPPt styled menus? Yes and no, it's all part of a unique feature for custom gameplay in which I will reveal screenshots of probably tonight. But for now, keep this in mind: 4 Styled. More will be revealed upon the pictures which will be either tonight or tomorrow. The graphics in the Save Screen are most likely going to change, so they will be different from HGSS. (what is in the current shot)

EDIT: As promised, two more menus revealed:

http://collosalpokemon.pokemondaisuki.com/images/Menu1.bmphttp://collosalpokemon.pokemondaisuki.com/images/Menu2.bmphttp://collosalpokemon.pokemondaisuki.com/images/Menu3.bmp

First and foremost, the upper left picture is the DPPt styled menu...right next to it is the image you have already seen, but as a reference I put it up again. Third is the HGSS Styled Menu. Of course, I'm showing the Debug Mode Icon as you all should know, that will not be available in your game for should-be-obvious reasons. ;) You may be asking yourself, why are you showing so many menus? Are we/I supposed to see which one we'd like best? Or maybe are we/I just supposed to look at the possibilities?

The answer is no, it's a new part of the menu engine in which you can literally customize your menu. If you like DPPt, choose that version. If you like HGSS, choose said version. There are only 4 versions to choose from, hence I revealed 3 and not 4 so the final one is still a mystery, to choose from BUT each menu has 3 different styles to it...so the menu system is completely based on choice.

[POKEMONMASTER260]

@> POKEMONMASTER260

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

And following up with my earlier updates promise, here is something new:

http://collosalpokemon.pokemondaisuki.com/images/Getting_Items_Showcase.jpg

As you can all see, the item receiving system has been updated. Also, sorry for the text box issues (they are misaligned) I did this in a rush before the week was over...I'll fix that.

The image above shows a change in the way you receive items, now there will be a small bag with various colors depending on the bag pocket that the found item goes in. At the end of the message a little jingle plays like D/P/Pt/HG/SS as well.

Thanks,

CP

[darkerarceus]

Looks like an excellent system so the player won't have to check if the item is the key item needed or just a plain item if they can't read english. I just love that system and I have one question, if you want to are you willing to share me that dual screen script in PM? I will give full credit if you want. But you don't have to give it to me.

EDIT: Oh! And I forgot, do you want me to make you another support banner?
Because I'll start right now!

As for the support banner, that will be helpful and I thank you for it.

You're welcome, Collosal.

[Death5 Shadow]

Ok let me get this straight before i make myself sound like even more of an idiot is the bag suppose to look like it's over your head or do you want it on the ground because i can make some thing that makes your character look like he pulls off his back pack and looks around in it

[CollosalPokemon]

@> Death5 Shadow:

The bag is meant to look like the picture, the way that it is centered makes it easily noticeable and as such you'll know if you received an item for certain pocket right away.

[PokeGamerExtreme]

I'm sorry to say this but I don't like the way your game looks at all. The resolutions are really bad and everything is too pixelated. I don't like your tiles one bit and they look very awkward. I also sincierly dislike your ideas. The bag system is not special at all and the bag images look terrible and their position is also bad. You haven't made any use out of the bottom screen and the menus just look ugly. Also for the bag you mentioned that it is there to help people that don't read english understand which bag they put their item in. Well that's just very stupid because how is any person supposed to know what the colors mean. Now imagine you are in their situation: You can't read english and then an ugly colored bag appears when you pick up and item. How is that supposed to help at all? I'm sorry but there is just nothing attractive about this game. The graphics are bad and ugly. The resolution is not approperiate. And you haven't showed us much appart from those insignificant features you like to brag about. How long have you been supposedly working on this and yet you can't show one single screenshot of any other systems like the battle one. My 8-year-old brother is able to do the features that you have stated and if he were to fake them I'm sure that it would look better.

[CollosalPokemon]

@> PokeGamerExtreme:

Hi Gamer, it's okay that you personally don't like it though I know that many others enjoy it. The resolutions are not finalized but it is actually improved from the original resolution, everything is not pixellated but it appears that way because of the shots I take. Heh, then you don't like Pokemon Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum's tiles one bit either because they are exactly the same as mine. Well the bag system actually is going to change, note that I am creating improvements to the bag system that'll make it worthwhile. Actually I have, did you not see the menus at all? Or did you just glance, completely forgot about what they actually looked like, and said they are ugly? Color codings...each pocket in the bag is the same as the color of the bag, it wouldn't be too hard to figure out what each of the colors mean. The colors are not that bad but simply could use adjustments. If you feel that way then I can't say much because I'm not you but most people feel differently. Again, if you feel that way then you dislike all of Pokemon Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum's graphics. If you feel that the resolution is bad then it's okay but the resolution isn't final. Actually I have shown quite a few significant screens. Well I've been working with the Dual Screen since the middle of this summer, and adjusting all of the GBA scripts to DS ones isn't a piece of cake because they require not just recoordinates, but also added graphics and scripting, in which I know how to do but it takes time. Okay then, please show this so-called 8-year-old brother's RMXP screenshots. Or can you not because you "don't think I deserve to see them?" If so then you're bluffing about this whole thing.

So go ahead, prove your 8-year-old brother can do better, prove it to me...and to everyone.

[Hall Of Famer]

Nice update CP, the bag is a quite unique idea I must say.

My 8-year-old brother

You mean your 8-years-old-older-brother?

[CollosalPokemon]

Well well well, here's something that might help people understand I haven't been lying at all about the Dual Screen engine; A 1 minute 3 second video:

<object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/VHYICjYX0YI&hl=en&fs=1&"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/VHYICjYX0YI&hl=en&fs=1&" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object>

Please excuse the no audio problem though, the Hypercam messed up the audio while I was recording it. The video contains:

1) A updated Load Screen (As you should see briefly in the video and a screenshot below)

2) Gameplay from a empty Twinleaf town (but proof that the movement and Dual Screen are both real) which will be improved soon.

Oh, and also, here is a clear shot of the load screen so you can reference it better since it was shown only briefly in the video:

Ok...my first reaction when I saw the post was like: "Yes...OMG! Finally a video to see what there is in the game!" Then I started it and there was the loading screen, which looks cool btw, and then the real deal. Then again, I'm left dissapointed. Just when I though finally, it can't get any better than the video, well it can acctually. This video again shows us almost nothing. Let me get to my points:

1. There was not much going on, you could at least have showed us the new menus and saving stuff, but instead there was just walking going on
2. Twinleaf town isn't mapped well. It is tooooooo big and there are vast and unused spaces open.
3. Also, you could have used the bottom screen more during the standby (map scene), I mean put more of your new features on it while on the map, or even the simple HGSS menu.

[NikNaks]

This game looks very promising, but I think it's a little bit raw at the minute. While the ideas and implementation are fairly solid, there's a lack of finesse throughout. For example, on your latest screenshot (http://collosalpokemon.pokemondaisuki.com/images/Pkmn_Origin%20LoadScene.bmp), I can see that the badges and text are double size, but the background isn't, which makes it look blocky and poorly designed, but it's only a simple fix. The same thing applies comparing the bottom screen background with play. I could go on about that, but I think you get the idea.

I also have to agree with Luka about the mapping, but I'd assume that's just a tester map. However, the building art, as PokeGamer mentioned, doesn't fit at all, and some actually look lopsided in places. If you're looking to implement the 3D style, I'd recommend using 874521's tiles (http://www.pokecommunity.com/showthread.php?t=189708) instead, but that's up to you.

On a different note, I really like the bag idea, but I think it needs to perhaps be bigger or more obvious (perhaps a background similar to the VS trainer bar would look good), as it currently looks like it's just been dropped on Lucas' head. :P
Finally, your signature image is huge, so change it before you're pulled up on it ;)

Good luck!

@> Luka S.J. :

I noticed much of what you are saying, this was meerly to show that the movements and DS was down and not so much the game engines. I plan on making on of those soon, since I have a new trainer card and pokemon selection screen pretty much down. Again, I noted that the map, as NikNaks said, is a "test" map. The next video will have more gameplay and engines to show. I might also add something new to the Load scene if I get the time but that's not really a priority for now.

@> NikNaks:

I realized those things too, but after the video was up. They will be fixed in the near future though.

The building art wasn't complete, I'm missing quite a few tiles so I didn't get them in time for the video.

Yeah, I have some work with the whole bag scheme but thank you for the compliment on what was shown so far.

[Death5 Shadow]

I basically just ment that it was just chopping off the top of his head but the concept of everything seems really cool and i'm looking forward to the finished product. Good luck

[PokemonOI]

Improve you mapping and this could be good. your dual screen looks great though.....

[CollosalPokemon]

@> Death5 Shadow and PokemonOI:

Thank you both, and the maps will be better OI but I didn't have enough up-to-date maps with my tiles (rather than Kyledove's) to show in that video, I'll have a better one when and if I make another video.

Update! I've been working these past few days on a custom Trainer Card script (not the one from Pokemon Essentials) and I'm almost done, all I have left is the score system so I thought why not share some screenies for you guys:

Props to Hall Of Famer for his custom badges and gym leader icons in D/P/Pt style! (used in the screenshots btw) The Date system (Month/Day/Year) is something priliminary that I wrote, it will improve as well. The reason that the date was 00 00 00 is because that's the default date for the system...which will, again, be fixed sometime soon.

[Death5 Shadow]

dude if i read that picture above right we are going to face all the gym leaders right?

[CollosalPokemon]

@ Death5 Shadow:

Correct, did you read any of the features? If so, you should've read that all of the non-spinoff regions are going to be in the game. (and Orre)

Nice update CP, I really dig the new badge case and trainercard.

[Luka S.J.]

Hmmm....I'm sure that I left a comment earlier today. Never mind. I have to say that the trainer case/card/whatever looks mighty impressive. I really don't know where you found/or how you made those badges and trainer faces but they are superb. I was acctually looking for those ages, but never found any so gave up on the D/P trainer card style. It looks really good and I really do like the badges. Hope everything continues great like this.

EDIT: Oh stupid me! Didn't read your full post. I see that Hall of Famer made those. Anyways great job to both of you.

ANOTHER EDIT: Regarding your date thing. RMXP is really messed up in that perspective, and updates Time and Date every second. This will make that section with the script very, very laggy (I know from personal experience). I don't know how you'll go around that but it's just a heads up.

[Hamako-chan]

Oh my gosh, love the TrainerCard Scripts Collosal!
It looks so nice!

[CollosalPokemon]

@> Hall Of Famer:

Thanks HoF, I was hoping it looked nice so far.

@> Luka S.J.:

Thank you, but the thing is that I have a couple tweaks before the Trainer Card and Badge Case are completed. For instance, I'm still working on the sound effects so it wouldn't be too good in a video just yet unless the viewer is only in it for visuals...and a couple more things I don't want to spoil just yet ;)


@> Hamako Chan:

Thank you, though the screen is actually not complete in the public photo, I have but one thing left to do until it is finished.

Update: Hehehe, apparently I fell out of place over the last 3 days but I am back and I am almost done with a brand new script; a battle Intro. It took hardly any time and effort for me to do this but here is the progress to those who care:

http://collosalpokemon.pokemondaisuki.com/images/VS_Sequence By CP 21.bmp

Of course Roark's name needs to be a different font, but here is where it stands as of now.

[1ninjadude1701]

hey we should update this don't think CP

[skrullman]

Pokemon Origin like Mewtwo origins :P Nice Game

[Minions123]

Perfect name, nice storyline, and new stuff other than the normal pokemon games! Cool!

[CollosalPokemon]

Finally, I get back to Origin. I apologize for it being near another month but the school year has started and I, and I'm sure most of you, have been busy with school. However, while I had free time without internet connection I did do some cool stuff that I would like to present in two screenshots:

http://img689.imageshack.us/img689/7132/capture021.pnghttp://img29.imageshack.us/img29/2783/capture022.png

The map used in Roark's battle sequence is not permanent, I am still making tiles (& compiling) but it does show an intro sequence. I plan on redoing it to make it better but this should give you a pretty good idea of what it will look like. I'll upload a video if I can visually proving it actually exists (because anyone can easily just show an image in an event). The battle scene needs work as well, such as brightening up the text and adding a Pokemon's icon to the words "Fight." Thankfully I'll have more time now to work on it so I should update on that soon as well.

To reiterate my last update, the bag was displayed as well as the key item EXPLORER KIT (Yes, it does infact work 8D) and here is a shot of the bag:

So yeah, comments please :D
