Pokémon Rancher

Made with:
Rpg maker XP, and Poccils starterkit

Introduction:

Hello, again..
As you can see in my signature, my other games (Pokémon Thermite and Pokémon Eternity) got deleted due to a hard drive error.
I was not smart enough to back them up on an other PC :(
But yeah, it happend and there is nothing I can do about it anymore..
So I present you, my newest game, Pokémon Rancher!

Plot:

You're either a boy or a girl who lives in Jigano Town in the region of Rikolu.(yeah, odd name I know)
Your Pokémon adventure is about to begin, but unlike other Pokémon games, you will obtain your Pokémon from a Pokémon breeder, named Henrique.
When you go downstairs your mum approaches you to tell Henrique was looking for you! It seemed urgent, so you head towards Henrique's Pokémon ranch (yeah that's why it's called Rancher).
You can trigger one of the two (!) opening events. After that event, you enter the ranch, where you get to choose one of three starter Pokémon (which ones will be revealed later).
Once you've obtained your chosen Pokémon, Henrique tells you you can have an egg too!
You then get to choose one out of 12 eggs!
After you've obtained an egg and a Pokémon you leave the ranch, where your rival is waiting for you to have a battle!
I will reveal more later, else I spoil to much

Screens:

Thread looks good PoKeMaKeR. The demo you let me (your VIP) play was also fun. But dude, Henrique? Are you serious?

HENRIQUE!!

Oh and you are going to show me that script you made. One way or the other.

What is wrong with that name :\
Tell me one you like better then :)
Oh and I'm going to improve my script now (at least i'm going to try that :P)

PoKéMaKeR

[Wichu]

The Pokémon overworlds (like Venusaur) should also be credited to Kyledove.

Your title screen is a bit plain, and doesn't match the visual style of the actual game.

Otherwise, it looks promising. Good luck with it!

Thanks wichu, it's nice to hear good comments, esspecially from someone like you!
I'll add kyledove to the credits, again :D
And uhm, can you tell me what I should add to the title screen, so it looks better ?

Thanks again Wichu!

[Wichu]

Perhaps tone down the saturation a bit, so the colours aren't as bright. And use a texture or picture as the background instead of just filling it with red.

Ok I'll try that, thanks Wichu!
Saturation? (help me.. I'm dutch and I don't fully understand the word:P)

I have one more question, it's also in the essentials thread..
But some questions never get answered...
Is it possible to make a trainer use shiny Pokémon?
If anyone knows, please tell me how:)

Time for an update, don't you guys think?

I give you the choice:
- Storyline update
or
- Graphical update

Tell me, and tommorow I'll update!

PoKéMaKeR

[Ravecat]

Kind of disapointed, I thought since it was called 'Rancher' you'd have a farm or something, but it looks like it's just a normal Pokemon adventure.

Oh well, good luck~!

Nothing is really wrong with the name, I just like making fun of it and watching you get frustrated.

Well, I think he should be named Matt. Definitely.

Show me the script! OR ELSE! :17:

Lol, no I won't show it XD

No one told me if I should update graphically or storyline wise... (uhm..?)
So I'll decided it should be graphically

It's not thát much but it's something :)
I've got some more to update on, but I will update after let's say.. 10 post (mine not included)
Give me some feedback please!

Still the question remains:

How can I make it so that a trainer uses shiny Pokémon, it's really needed for a feature (not completly new) but never been in a gamefreak handheld pokémon game!
If anyone helps me get that sorted out I'll update with the feature (so it's a win win situation:))

PoKéMaKeR

[4th Gen Matt]

Update looks good.

I would say that it would be just like it is any other way. Import the picture of a shiny Pokemon and make the trainer use it.

I am not an expert though, just a suggestion.

By the way, you should definitely consider changing the breeder's name to Matt.

Thanks matt, anyways Wichu did help me on the shiny problem
Thanks for that Wichu!!

So as promised I'll update with the feature, although it has slightly changed due to the fact it was impossible to make trainers use shiny Pokémon

Update:

The feature:

This game has now a new subspecies the fossil Pokémon!
Not like kabuto and omanyte a.o.
But like an undead Pokémon, a living Fossil!

I have already made one Pokémon a fossil Pokémon (Zubat)
Here is what the pokédex says about it:
This ZUBAT is a fossil, but it's not dead, it's DNA has changed and made it able to live!

Here is the front pic of the fossil zubat:

http://i434.photobucket.com/albums/qq63/Jdgcreations/Pokemon%20rancher/510.png

acctually the fossil Pokémon will look better, because it was difficult to make Zubat look fossil like
Tell me what you think!

PoKéMaKeR

Edit: feature is added to the first post!

[ah2190]

This looks neet. But why are you doing this all by yourself? Surely someone might be able to help you make it better...

True, but no-one has applied yet so I'll do it all myself till someone applies

You should remove the skin on the wings and make it just bones imo

[PoKéMaKeR]

You should remove the skin on the wings and make it just bones imo

good idea, but it's not a death pokémon, it's a fossil..
so there is no bones nor is there skin, it's more like all stoneish
But if you would like to sprite me an example of what you think it should like I can reconsider my design..!

PoKéMaKeR

[Ravecat]

Have you seen the old fossil sprite of Kabutops from RBY? That's what a fossil is.

They may not actually be bones but they look like they are, I mean we see dinosaur fossils all the time, and those are just bones.

edit: here ya go

Yeah but that's not something I want to be in the game I want it to be like this..
Although your right it's not fossil like the archological therms but I want it to be called fossil pokémon anyways :P

Thanks for the feedback though!

Fair enough, it's your decision. :)

[amarj3]

sweet game, looks good but you should advertise for help

good luck

Nah, so far it runs smootly enough with me on it alone so if I need anyone I will in the mean time applying is of course possible!

Thanks man ;)

i like the egg choice bit, it is new and unique, hopefully the sub plots will be unique too

Well, I know you don't like the idea, but I was bored and sprited it anyway. :P

Wow, I like the Zubat, but I do stick to my own design if you don't mind and about the charmander, it would look exactly the same if I did it, altough I would change the eyes and I'm not sure if I would put the fire out aswell :O

Con~ thanks for the input!
I appreciate it!

Yeah you're right 10 posts have been made so I'm updating later today, just have to prepare some more of it ;)
I think I'll release a small demo, but not right now I need to add some more else it will be a matter of 10 minutes of play, and that's not really cool :P


Ok here is the update, it's not that big I know but it's here!

The honey tree!

And a vid about the honey tree :)

Also I want to have a different way of updating on the game
It does involve a post count,
i.e. 10 posts till next update
But I also want to have the person who has the most post out of the i.e. 10 for the update, decide what the update should be about!

Note spamish posts don't count for the total and for your personal post count
Note 2: I decide if the post counts for the total and personal post count, no discussion

So that's it for today, give me some feedback and posts needed till next update 25 (isn't too hard is it?)

PoKéMaKeR

[4th Gen Matt]

The honey tree thing is cool. Is it your script?

What pokemon can you find inside of the trees? All of the usuals?

[PoKéMaKeR]

Nope it's still not my script I told you about (lol)
But yeah you can find all of the usuals (heracross, aipom, munchlax, combee, cherubi and burmy)
They now appear all with the same rarity (I mean you have just as much change of finding an aipom as you have of finding a munchlax)
So I have to improve on that a tad bit!

Thanks for the comment!

[<~F.M.P~>]

Great job on the game Poke ^^...The title and the title screen had me confused though, I thought it was gonna be a rancher game lol :P Keep up the good work dude.

[~JV~]

The game is going out nice ^^, why dont you make a more complex day care? Like seeing your pokemon in different habitats and relationating with others pokes etc, with that the title will make more sense.

Good point but no, and that's because of the following:

- It's too complicated
- Did any Pokémon rpg tile ever made sense? (if so tell me!!)

Thanks for the replies both of you!

At least the titles of the official games have some relation to the starters/legendaries; this is most noticeable in D/P (Dialga and Palkia are based on diamonds and pearls, after the game names).
If you're going to keep the name, then try implementing something based on it.

Lol never thought of that D/P (Dialga and Palkia), any other games have that aswell ?:P
You two are kinda right, but to do it by myself is far too hard, so I need some help with that then.
Any suggestions?

Yellow, Red, Blue = Zapdos, Moltres and Articuno
Silver and gold = Lugia and Ho-oh colors
Ruby, sapphire= Groudon (there are rubys in its cave), *i forgot the other name, probably because i hate him

Also for the "ranch", you dont need to make a new daycare, just make a realistic one, where you can go in and see random pokemon in the fields. The only thing that would be hard to do is to see YOUR pokemon walking around.

All you'd have to do is make an OW sprite for every pokemon in the game so then when you go to the daycare you can see it running around. If I make it sound so easy it's because it is, the only thing wrong is it's time consuming.

If you'd like help with the event coding just ask ;)

[~JV~]

ashandmisty: thats true, but i really think that this isnt his main focus. If he puts some pokemon running around in a ranch, thats already going to be cool. Also i have another idea, in this area make that you can battle those pokemon when you touch or press a button on them...

That would be kyogre (not sure about the spelling)
But yeah you're right, never looked to it like that :P (title > legendary)

Yup, that's true, it's really , really time consuming :shocked:
I will ask your help if I eventually get to that!

Also that is true, it's not my main focus right now.
It maybe will be after I've made some progress on the game in mapping and eventing way. And about your idea, do you mean by "this area" a pokémon ranch?
Because if that's what you mean, then it would be a no mainly because the pokémon who live there aren't wild pokémon, and if you battle them and beat them the need to go to the Pokécenter..

Thanks for the feed back you two!

I think this is great, but you should use the farmer OW for Henrique, Just a thought. And I don't really get the "fossil Pokemon"...

Uhm, I think I'll use a custom OW for Henrique, but I need to make it first!
Thanks for the suggestion though!
It's kinda like shadow pokémon, Team galactic will be using Fossil Pokémon (not straight away but later on) and with the snag ball (name suggestions?) you can catch those Fossil Pokémon..
Some more info on Fossil Pokémon they can evolve into their fossil evo aswell as their normal evolution (although you'll need an item to do so)
Note: you guys are all kinda lucky because this is a small plot (like) give away :cheeky:
Note 2: I think I need a trainer spriter (D/P style) PM if you would like to help and I PM you the details!

PoKéMaKeR

[ah2190]

That's OK with me, and maybe, just maybe, XD002 might come thinking that Team Galactic are trying to mimic what Cipher did before. Although at first, he might believe that the player is working for Cipher, and will fight him/her. But, when he loses, the player tells him that he was mistaken, and then XD002 might help him/her during the final stages of the game. But I don't mind if XD002 only makes a camo appearance right at the end of the game.

Besides, XD002 has experience with Shadow Pokemon, and these fossil Pokemon are just like Shadow Pokemon. So it would be fitting for XD002 to appear, even if it's as a camo.

[H2O Turquoise]

Name the ball Tomb Ball

Custon D/P style OW? I think I know someone to do that, just gimme a sec

(never played Pokémon XD..)

I'll consider that name! (anyone other suggestions as well?)
Uhm I'm waiting!
In the mean time, I'll be trying to do so myself
Thanks for the support and suggestions:)

looks awesome so far.
i like that you can pick an egg to go along with your starter.

as for suggestions for the snag ball, i'll throw in Relic Ball.

anyway, best of luck with this. ^^

Thanks I thought that was cool too, that's why I did it :)
Uhm sorry Relic ball isn't going to be the new name, because a town has this name already :embarrass
Thanks for the suggestion though!

P.S: I've tried to make a custom(ish) trainer sprite for Henrique, and to be honest, I'm quite statisfied!

[4th Gen Matt]

Third page? This game is too good to let die. So I shall bump it.

You better post your script soon PokeMaker. OR ELSE!!...

I am going to be mad. =)

[thedudemister]

The game looks really cool but you should save the screenshots as .png. They will show better.

[H2O Turquoise]

Any progress?

My friend said she can't... She has too many requests??? Sorry

Yeah I know, let's say they're saved as jpeg to prevent stealing

Any progress?

Not really, I just had an exchange student from greece last week, so haven't gotten any time to work on the game

The town name Relic could have created the ball or something, could make it a bit of history that they town had a lot of relics come alive or something and somewhere from there created the ball to catch the Pokémon and make them all safe ?

My friend is a D/P Style OW Spriter. I think I already told you that :shocked:

Good to hear that! :)
Thanks for your support!

My friend is a D/P Style OW Spriter. I think I already told you that :shocked:

Oh yeah, that's right lol, nevermind that because I've already made one myself!
I think it's quite ok so, I'll use that :)
Although because of this new overworld, I need a new picture (D/P style) of Henrique, can anyone do this for me?
As a reward you'll get a small beta!

I need a "trainer pic" of him if you can help PM me and I'll give you the overworld so you can see how the "trainer pic" should look like.

[4th Gen Matt]

Whats up PoKeMaKeR? I hope the game development is going well for you. I threaded Pokemon Onyx so expect to see the thread up in a few days (I posted the bare minimum so I didn't spoil everything). Anyway, you should probably start spriting sometime in the near future. No rush though.

[<~F.M.P~>]

Hmmm...Do you plan any updates in the next week or so Pokemaker? I'm ready to see what you have in store for us ;)

[H2O Turquoise]

Heey any updates?
Please don't tell me I wasted my precious time for a sprite you don't need

[PoKéMaKeR]

Heey any updates?
Please don't tell me I wasted my precious time for a sprite you don't need

No you haven't, ofcourse not !!
Here is the update!

Hmmm...Do you plan any updates in the next week or so Pokemaker? I'm ready to see what you have in store for us ;)

Yeah here it is!


Update
First of all, sorry community for the lateness of the update, I hadn't much time until now.. so apologies again!



I would like to start with the following.....


http://i434.photobucket.com/albums/qq63/Jdgcreations/Pokemon%20rancher/dp_henrique.png http://i434.photobucket.com/albums/qq63/Jdgcreations/Pokemon%20rancher/henrique-pokemon-rancher.png


Yeah that's correct, it's the new Henrique Ow and Intro sprite, Credits to Tropical Sunlight for the intro sprite, credits to me (lol) for the Henrique trainer sprite!

And now the following, I would like to show you guys a map shot of the first City, Flaro City:

http://i434.photobucket.com/albums/qq63/Jdgcreations/Pokemon%20rancher/FlaroCity.png
Flaro City has an Harbour, from which you can go to a different City, name has yet to be decided!

Also the Flaro City Gym leader isn't a new face, can anyone guess who he/she is?
If some one guesses correct I reveal the (slightly) edited new trainer sprite!
(I will use an other sprite in the demo)


I also have a new feature I would like to share with you guys, check the spoiler!


It's a new feature in the Pokémarts!
They now sell Pokémon, no fancy Pokémon but yeah, that'll come later in the game!
Here are some screenshots of it
http://i434.photobucket.com/albums/qq63/Jdgcreations/Pokemon%20rancher/capture000-2.jpghttp://i434.photobucket.com/albums/qq63/Jdgcreations/Pokemon%20rancher/capture001-1.jpg
http://i434.photobucket.com/albums/qq63/Jdgcreations/Pokemon%20rancher/capture002-1.jpghttp://i434.photobucket.com/albums/qq63/Jdgcreations/Pokemon%20rancher/capture003-1.jpg
http://i434.photobucket.com/albums/qq63/Jdgcreations/Pokemon%20rancher/capture004-1.jpghttp://i434.photobucket.com/albums/qq63/Jdgcreations/Pokemon%20rancher/capture005-1.jpg
So now even Pokémon are for sale!
Tell me what you all think about this!


I also have a new Town mapped, it's called Topburg Town, it's a town in a mountain which is called the Runsurf Cave!
It's home for mostly Sandshrew and Diglett, but you also have the chance to meet some wild Onyx and Geodude there!

For my good friend 4th Gen Matt:

I also have made a first script (a while ago) which makes the trainer able to catch other trainers Pokémon, although only one kind of trainer Pokémon, the earlier revealed Fossil Pokémon!
The script is working correctly.. So I'm really happy since it's my first script ever!

Last but not least, I'm going to announce a release date for the first demo..
Due to my lack of time the past couple of weeks it won't be that big, but yeah it still is a demo, isn't it!

So the release date I'm going to try to reach is Tuesday 9th of December!
The demo will contain 1 City, 2 Towns and 1 Gym battle!

I would like you all to know, I'm changing the update way again, because I haven't got much time all this school year to work on Rancher I'll update whenever I've made some progress.. So no more Post counts (sorry:P)

Ok that's it for this update I hope you guys liked it, and tell me what you think about it !

PoKéMaKeR

[H2O Turquoise]

Great updates!

But the Pokemon should have a higher price... like 3000 (Abra 5500).
The Flaro City map is well... normal.

Keep it up and ask me for more sprites (lol)

[PoKéMaKeR]

Tropical sunlight thanks for your comments, but what you mean by flaro city is "normal"?
and about the price, they're only level 7 pokémon, you know:P
Thanks again anyways

UPDATE

As promised, the demo is out!
You need RMXP for this, although I'm not sure about that

http://www.megaupload.com/nl/?d=NF5N51PN
(if the download doesn't work tell me)

follow this link to download the first demo of Pokémon Rancher!!

I hope to see some comments and get some (positive :cheeky:) critism!!

Thanks and have fun with the demo

oh!!!! i cant wait to play it! (im not at home though... im at the library... so i gotta wait a long time...)

[<~F.M.P~>]

That's a pretty nice Sprite of the Ow. I really like how this is turning out, and you have a demo already? Sweet, I'm gonna go ahead and get on that now. Keep up the work and I hope to see a new update soon. ;)

[~JV~]

Cool, im downloading it right now, so how further in the game this demo goes?

[PoKéMaKeR]

Yeah there is a demo already, do you like it?
Give me some comments man !!

Cool, im downloading it right now, so how further in the game this demo goes?

It goes up to the first gym, as you could read in the last update..
I think it's worth half an hour of playing time, not sure though, but yeah, tell me what you think!

Comments and critism is appriciated!

[~JV~]

Its looking cool, the musics are all fitting the characters and the first road map was really coolalso, the game is a bit hard for the start, the haunted mansion thing etc, but there is a problem with the pokemon sprites... look what happens...

http://i35.tinypic.com/15hlbu0.jpg

[Saidai No Soba-Ya]

Sorry to say but that map is :\ not very good
do the buildings match? does the theme of it match and the black road is not supposed to go off the platform
and is it a city? it should be bigger <even oreburg is bigger>

btw very nice demo :D
same as JV what happened to the pokemon xD

But, that's strange..!?
It never happened to me when I was playing it!
Anyone, knows how to fix this?
I really don't know what's happening

Ah, I think I know. I forgot to adapt the pbLoadPokemonBitmapSpecies script to work with encrypted archives. To fix it, replace the pbLoadPokemonBitmapSpecies in PokemonUtilities with this: def pbLoadPokemonBitmapSpecies(pokemon, species, back=false)
if pokemon.egg?
return BitmapCache.load_bitmap(
sprintf("Graphics/Pictures/egg.png"))
end
ending=""
ending+="f" if pokemon.gender==1 && pbRgssExists?(sprintf("Graphics/Battlers/%03df%s.png",species,back ? "b" : ""))
ending+="s" if pokemon.isShiny?
ending+="b" if back
bitmapFileName=sprintf("Graphics/Battlers/%03d%s.png",species,ending)
if !pbRgssExists?(bitmapFileName)
bitmapFileName=sprintf("Graphics/Battlers/000%s.png",ending)
end
if isConst?(pokemon.species,PBSpecies,:SPINDA) && !back
bitmap=Bitmap.new(bitmapFileName)
pbSpindaSpots(pokemon,bitmap)
return bitmap
elsif isConst?(pokemon.species,PBSpecies,:UNOWN)
d=pokemon.personalID&3
d|=((pokemon.personalID>>8)&3)<<2
d|=((pokemon.personalID>>16)&3)<<4
d|=((pokemon.personalID>>24)&3)<<6
d%=28 # index of letter : ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ!?
begin
# Load special bitmap if found
# Example: 201b_02 for the letter C
bitmapFileName=sprintf("Graphics/Battlers/%03d%s_%02d.png",species,ending,d)
rescue
# Load plain bitmap as usual (see below)
end
elsif isConst?(pokemon.species,PBSpecies,:ARCEUS)
bitmapFileName=sprintf("Graphics/Battlers/%03d%s_%02d.png",species,ending,pokemon.type)
end
return BitmapCache.load_bitmap(bitmapFileName)
end
I forgot that the FileTest.exist? method doesn't work in encrypted archives. Luckily, poccil added an alternative (pbRgssExists?) which does. For this to work, you'll need to have updated to the newest version, though.

[dbgtfan1988]

Your charsets are huge man, you should use my resized D/P charsets, PM me if your interested.

[Crosell]

Maybe something that explains how to play it would help.
haven't played any games for so long, forgot how RpgXp works.
So if somebody can explain hehe :p
Btw I really like this.
Buying pokes in a mart haha, funny :)
Good luck!

Edit: Nevermind about what I asked, it's working already.
I have seen some weird stuff though.
Flaro City have a bunaery and a chansey pre evo blocking your way.
Talk to one of them they jump up, and you can walk right underneath them.

Also the boat, the man on the left tells you, there not sailing, and suddenly I walk in the boat, and end up at a pokecenter.
Maybe these things are not known yet, maybe they are, just sharing :)

I like the game, it has a fun story, so good luck with everything!

[H2O Turquoise]

Hey! Grat demo!
Just fix the bug that every Pokemon I see including mine is a question-mark.

And why didn't you insert your OW sprites and my sprite?
And what's THIS:

Looks great, love the screens so far. keep it up!

Thanks!

um... when i start the game, it says some fonts need to be installed,but it always says that it could not be installed

Uhm, I can't really do something about it else than give you the fonts which you then put in your resource folder of your windows..

All people thanks for the comments and support!

Exactly 1 hour Game Time has passed and I have 7 Pokémon and 1 Gym Badge :)

Very nice demo, I quite liked it, I do hope there will be more detail in those places I visited in this one as it did seem kinda plain :)

Now then;


The Yellow and Red Text Box in Battle; Personally I don't think it looks right :?
Hero Sprite, I personally don't think it is any good, it is the one from Diamond right ? I never really liked it to be honest and it doesn't seem to fit in with the other Sprites ?
Starter Names, They don't see to imaginative for me, Maybe a re-think ?
New Grass(The one where you can encounter Pokémon, Seems to plain and I don't think it fits the surroundings?
Getting healed after 1st Rival battle, normally you get fully healed after it, I wasn't and almost lost in a wild encounter :(
In-Battle Poké Sprites, Looks so weird seeing ?'s attacking each other O.o
Team Galactic Sprites and Gym Leaders In-Battle Sprites look too big
Some stuff needs to be De-Capitalized, I.E. Pokémon's names and etc...
Haunted Mansion 1F; The Galactic guy in the bottom righ corner talked to me once and then a second latter said the same thing and battled me and it was a doubler battle with another person :? I had battled the person at the top and I battled the Mmddle person straight faterwards so maybe a glitch ?
Buying Pokemon, nice, how about been able to sell Pokemon ?
Relic Town, 4 Houses and only one availabe ? It wouldn't have mattered if it was arandom old person saying somethng random lol, There was also no-one to ask you if you knew how to catch a Pokémon or anything ?
1st Battle after Relic town, the person is called Mat, It looks weird, maybe with 2 t's ? also he says it's his 1st lose not loss.
Gym Leader says 'asume' and not 'assume'


http://i224.photobucket.com/albums/dd221/EJames2100/Ranch.jpg

Look at the Defence Stat; Knocks the Number to the next line, Maybe De-Capitalizing them ?

http://i224.photobucket.com/albums/dd221/EJames2100/Ranch3.jpg

Tile Error ?

http://i224.photobucket.com/albums/dd221/EJames2100/Ranch2.jpg

Another Tile Error ? You shouldn't be able to see Grass moving through a tree :?


Overall tho, A very nice demo and well worth my time in it, I await the 2nd one :)

[Beam Me Up, Furry Bandit!]

That haunted Mansion is nice.

[Beam Me Up, Furry Bandit!]

Sorry for the double post but, the haunted mansion seems that so not haunted....
If you recoloured the Walls, Floors, with the furniture onto a new tileset then used it for the ghost place, then it looks better!

[EJames2100]

It's just a mansion that is dark and has a ghost Pokémon there, If I had a Ghost in my bedroom and it was always dark, I'd say it was haunted :P

[Beam Me Up, Furry Bandit!]

Still, I would edit the tileset a bit to make it more creepy.

[EJames2100]

Maybe, but I really don't think it's needed as the Mansion is still in-habited by people :?

Relic Town, 4 Houses and only one availabe ? It wouldn't have mattered if it was arandom old person saying somethng random lol, There was also no-one to ask you if you knew how to catch a Pokémon or anything ?
1st Battle after Relic town, the person is called Mat, It looks weird, maybe with 2 t's ? also he says it's his 1st lose not loss.
Gym Leader says 'asume' and not 'assume'

Look at the Defence Stat; Knocks the Number to the next line, Maybe De-Capitalizing them ?

http://i224.photobucket.com/albums/dd221/EJames2100/Ranch3.jpg

Tile Error ?

http://i224.photobucket.com/albums/dd221/EJames2100/Ranch2.jpg

Another Tile Error ? You shouldn't be able to see Grass moving through a tree :?


Overall tho, A very nice demo and well worth my time in it, I await the 2nd one :)

Now that's something I can use!
No I don't mind you uploading the demo, as long as you don't claim it to be yours.
About the screens that'll be fixed ;)

The Yellow and Red Text Box in Battle; Personally I don't think it looks right :?
What do you like to see then?
Hero Sprite, I personally don't think it is any good, it is the one from Diamond right ? I never really liked it to be honest and it doesn't seem to fit in with the other Sprites ?
I don't really feel the same, I do think I should change it, but that's not really needed right now.. (so that will be done eventually)
Starter Names, They don't see to imaginative for me, Maybe a re-think ?
I don't know if you know them, but they're not fake-mon, they're real D/P/P pokémon
New Grass(The one where you can encounter Pokémon, Seems to plain and I don't think it fits the surroundings?
Idem for this, it's originally D/P/P(?) so..:P
Getting healed after 1st Rival battle, normally you get fully healed after it, I wasn't and almost lost in a wild encounter :(
Good, that's handy I will change this;)
In-Battle Poké Sprites, Looks so weird seeing ?'s attacking each other O.o
I'm aware of this problem.. and I'm not sure but I think it is already fixed by wichu.
Team Galactic Sprites and Gym Leaders In-Battle Sprites look too big
I know but if I'd resize them to the correct sprite size (128x128) they would have sucked :P
Some stuff needs to be De-Capitalized, I.E. Pokémon's names and etc...
No, that's not right ;) (look at real pokémon games, always capitalized)
Haunted Mansion 1F; The Galactic guy in the bottom righ corner talked to me once and then a second latter said the same thing and battled me and it was a doubler battle with another person :? I had battled the person at the top and I battled the Mmddle person straight faterwards so maybe a glitch ?
I have to look into that... :\
Buying Pokemon, nice, how about been able to sell Pokemon ?
That's difficult to do, so it's not yet implented, but I think I will (it's not a promise)
Relic Town, 4 Houses and only one availabe ? It wouldn't have mattered if it was arandom old person saying somethng random lol, There was also no-one to ask you if you knew how to catch a Pokémon or anything ?
I know, but I asumed (without s:P) all gamers would know that by now;)
1st Battle after Relic town, the person is called Mat, It looks weird, maybe with 2 t's ? also he says it's his 1st lose not loss.
Ok I'll change the name (your the second one to tell me that), and I'll change the typo

I'll change that too!

Well thanks for your comments!
That haunted Mansion is nice
Sorry for the double post but, the haunted mansion seems that so not haunted....
If you recoloured the Walls, Floors, with the furniture onto a new tileset then used it for the ghost place, then it looks better!

No I disagree with that, it is haunted, there are ghosts, it doesn't have to be creepy, else I would have called it creepy mansion don't you think

It's just a mansion that is dark and has a ghost Pokémon there, If I had a Ghost in my bedroom and it was always dark, I'd say it was haunted :P

That's right ;)

Still, I would edit the tileset a bit to make it more creepy.

No, not now maybe later.. It doesn't have top priority

Thanks for the comments people, be on the lookout for the next update!

Hmm. I can see you changed quite a bit. The battle screen looks the best out of the screenshots I can see so far; I like the colors of the HP boxes and text box. The D/P background is also a great touch, but I don't like the Kyledove's tiles; they're too overused. But of course, it's your choice to use the kind of tiles you want to use. Good luck, anyways. ;)

[~Kavin~]

This looks really good. Keep it up! :D

Yeah I really like those tiles, but you are right they're overused..
And if I want custom ones, I think I need some one to do it for me...
(hint:P) Well here ya'll go, I need a Tileset creator, if any one is up to the job, PM me!

This looks really good. Keep it up! :D

Well thank you!

No, I meant other tiles in cave then outside of it.
There are a lot tiles out there, maybe Platinum? tiles is a good choice.
Or some else: DP, Saurav, FireRed, Kyledove (not this tileset),...

I have a new idealist, or whatever you guys like to call that,
initially it's him making up events and things ;)
I like to introduce to you:

Oh, do you know where to get proper cave tiles D/P/P style then?

if so PM me, ok?

Thanks!

Woah, now those colours in the battle screen and much better than the others, Liking this update :)

[▲]

Rancher? This should be interesting...

Plot:

You're either a boy or a girl who lives in Jigano Town in the region of Rikolu.(yeah, odd name I know ...since it sounds like Riolu? Is that where it was derived from?)
Your Pokémon adventure is about to begin, but unlike other Pokémon games, you will obtain your Pokémon from a Pokémon breeder, named Henrique. That's not original...don't present it like that.
When you go downstairs your mum approaches you to tell Henrique was looking for you Why?! It seemed urgent, so you head towards Henrique's Pokémon ranch (yeah that's why it's called Rancher).
You can trigger one of the two (!) opening events You seriously aren't gonna say what they are?. After that event, you enter the ranch, where you get to choose one of three starter Pokémon (which ones will be revealed later). What does Henrique get out of being a charity service?
Once you've obtained your chosen Pokémon, Henrique tells you you can have an egg too! Okay, too generous...
You then get to choose one out of 12 eggs!
After you've obtained an egg and a Pokémon you leave the ranch, where your rival Looks forced... is waiting for you to have a battle!
I will reveal more later, else I spoil to much Wow, that was disappointing. Do you have anything of substance here? You've indicated that there's no plot so far...spoil too much? You didn't spoil anything, let alone too much...

Always, always, always have a mirror...

[PoKéMaKeR]

Sorry for double posting, but I have an update :D!

UPDATE

I have made some changes to my battle screens so I want to show that, it's a change in experience bar color:

http://i434.photobucket.com/albums/qq63/Jdgcreations/Pokemon%20rancher/NewBattleScreen.jpghttp://i434.photobucket.com/albums/qq63/Jdgcreations/Pokemon%20rancher/expbar.jpg

OLD NEW

What do you think about it?

I also want to show you some of the story from after the demo
It is after you passed the Runsurf Cave, where you enter a small town..
It's called Topburg Town, there you'll do a shocking discovery..
You'll find out about a hidden place some where in the town.
It has something to do with team Galactic, and something with a myth...
It's a myth about Cressilia, the moon pokémon..
Team Galactic has plans with that pokémon...
But what are these plans?
You'll find out in the next update!

Some screens of the little story above:

http://i434.photobucket.com/albums/qq63/Jdgcreations/Pokemon%20rancher/galactics.jpghttp://i434.photobucket.com/albums/qq63/Jdgcreations/Pokemon%20rancher/again.jpg

Who are these guys? There they are again?!


http://i434.photobucket.com/albums/qq63/Jdgcreations/Pokemon%20rancher/whereisthisplace.jpg
And where is this place?

And some random screens of the Runsurf Cave

http://i434.photobucket.com/albums/qq63/Jdgcreations/Pokemon%20rancher/whatarethesedoinghere.jpghttp://i434.photobucket.com/albums/qq63/Jdgcreations/Pokemon%20rancher/ohlikethat.jpg

Some work people, why? Yeah that was kinda obvious.. :)

And if you haven't noticed yet:
The new not ready implented Heroine OW:

http://i434.photobucket.com/albums/qq63/Jdgcreations/Pokemon%20rancher/dp_heroine2.png

Contest:

So I have a contest planned..
It's not that big, but it's something!
In the update I talked about a myth and about team Galactic using this myth..
So this is the contest, I want you guys to come up with a story of what team Galactic is using Cressilia for!
The one who has his/her answer closest to my story wins the following prize:

1th prize: You have the chance of being an important NPC in the game with your own made up story.
2nd prize: You have the chance of being an other quite important NPC in the game.
3th prize: You have the chance of being an not so important NPC in the game.

IMPORTANT:

I'm looking for someone who can do custom trainer sprites
If you're interested PM me (with some proof of your skills)!

Thanks for reading!

[H2O Turquoise]

To fly to the moon...

Nice update btw.

Uhm that "make-up" is really her eye color :embarrass
You think I should change it?
Like make it darker or something?
Thanks for the comments!

EDIT: I also made a male trainer OW but I want more posts before showing that one, because now it feels like nobody is interrested :(

[OAK]

Hi PoKéMaKeR !
I really love your new screens and your new heroine sprite.
I would love to see the new male trainer :D

I wanted to play the demo, but the link isnt working :(
Could you fix it ?

And keep it up, this game looks so great.

[Hardy Har Har]

Nice heroine sprite--but she looks like Maylene, a gym leader from Sinnoh.
Oh, I also recommend storing the demo either on Rapidshare or savefile.com because I can't download the demo.

Nice new sprite, I think the pink hair is a little too bright but they do look different in-game :/

I'd like to see the new Male Sprite/OW

Also I like the new XP bar, fits in well with the text box :)

Hi PoKéMaKeR !
I really love your new screens and your new heroine sprite.
I would love to see the new male trainer :D

I wanted to play the demo, but the link isnt working :(
Could you fix it ?

And keep it up, this game looks so great.

Thanks and as EJames2100 said, he already uploaded the demo to several other sites, so try these links!

Nice heroine sprite--but she looks like Maylene, a gym leader from Sinnoh.
Oh, I also recommend storing the demo either on Rapidshare or savefile.com because I can't download the demo.

That's just because of her pink hair I guess, because it's not.. :P

Why is it too bright?
Because in my opinion it's not
Thanks :D

Here's the official Riley sprite made by Nintendo. And, I could create some tilesets for you but not sprites.

Good luck Pokemaker ^__^

I really like this, so keep trudging forwards.. don't quit with this ^___^

[EJames2100]

Maybe it's cause I don't really link Pink :P

Nice new hero, I like the house too ^_^

Any updates on story progression and etc.. ?

[Wind Gale]

Nice game. I like the detail you added to the sprites.

[lriley777]

can someone tell me how to play these games? whenever i try to open GAME it says im missing RGSS102E or sumthin like that. can anyone tell me how to get that, or send me a file with instructions what to do.

[Soldiers of Filth]

i got an idea for the contest:

Team Galactic captures Cresselia because there is a myth that it can use its lunar powers to cause everything to go into a permanent night, causing Darkrai to come out so they can capture Darkrai and use its abilty to trap people in dreams to control them, taking over the world like that :P

but then like u release Cresselia and chase it around, capture it, and use its powers to return the day and night like normal, but Galactic gets really mad and goes all out with Darkrai and takes control of all of the gym leaders, and sends them all out to get you, and after you beat them, the Galactic leader fights you with his team and Darkrai as like a final boss battle and after you defeat him, Darkrai regains control of himself and flees, releasing all the leaders minds, then you have to go fight the remaining leader(s) that you didnt defeat before the madness begins, go to the E4, beat the champion, then go to a place to face Darkrai and capture him. then when u get to the place to face darkrai, the Galactic Leader will be just before Darkrais chamber and challenge you one last time. wat ya think?

Nevertheless, I like the Reviews! I'll test it! :)

Games on this part of the forum are not hacks, there's a whole other area for that
