Pokemon: Earth

[Mystic]

Ok, I'm new at making Pokemon games but I'll give it a shot. I don't have any screen shots as of yet, but I'll work on some. Here's what I've got so far.

Storyline
Set in a far off land from Honnen, Johto and Kanto, the region of Alron is where this game takes place at. You play as Devin, the hero of the game. He's about 13 years old and has lived in the small town of Mogthorn since he was a baby. You travel the various islands and capture pokemon to become the next master. But you also have trouble along the way, Team Gaia and Team Lunar have been battling each other for complete control over Alron, this has gone on for the past ten years. Besides Lunar and Gaia, theres another mysterious group that seems to be running the same role to control Alron. Only it seems more seceret than Lunar and Gaia. While becoming a Pokemon Master, you must defeat the 8 (maybe 9) Gym Leaders, stop Team Gaia and Team Lunar, and make sure that this mysterious team dosen't cause any serious harm to anything.

Setup
-New Light type (well, Jeff_PKLight came up with it though.) (Credit to Jeff_PKLight for this.)

-New Mixed Type Gym (The trainers and Gym Leader will use Pokemon that has two types, i.e Normal/Flying, Fire/Rock, ect....)

-Three Groups instead of one or two

-100-120 Pokemon. Not for sure if any new ones will appear though.

-10-13 towns (Credit to Ash_Ketchum_From_Pallet for town names.)

Thats about all I've got so far. Also, thanks to Daegon_Kimeron for the resources I downloaded from his first post in the Game Dev Resources.

Sounds good!
Nice features, oh & city names (*Wink, Wink*).
Well good luck!

Oh & what maker you using?

[Dawson]

Nice storyline, good luck on your project!

[Mystic]

Thanks guys. I'm going to be working on this with RPG Maker 2000. I'm not good at 2003 and I know nothing about RPXP. Also, I'll try to use the Pokemon Menu Sprites that Phoenix316 posted. Credit to you for those.

[Jeff_PKLight]

Sounds interesting! Can't wait to see some screens! :)

[Mystic]

I hope to get some screen shots up soon. Also, I might need some help with the CBS for this game. Does anyone know a file or something that could help me make a Pokemon style CBS? Thanks.

[MetaMew]

Good luck with your project. if there's anything I could do, pm me.

[Mystic]

Thanks for the offer of help MetaMew.

Well, its not much, but I got one screenshot done and have it uploaded to let you guys see. Here's the small town of Mogthorn.

[Asura Nirosuki]

wow!this is so cool! tell me next time you will do an event.

[Mystic]

Actually, I'm working on getting the moves in. The moves won't take PP like in the games, unless I find a way to fix that in RPG Maker 2000. The moves will be using MP though, but I've fixed around the attributes already and added all the elements in, including Light. I've got to get the Pokemon themselves ready and the moves and then I could start on the items. While doing this, I'm working on the map, thats why there wasn't any people in the screenshot I posted. I've also worked around and I think I've got the music changing from Routes to Towns down and a little bit on trainers.

[Asura Nirosuki]

eeeeeeekk i can't wait! are you taking O.T.? good luck and tell when you finish!

[Mystic]

O.T., as in Orignal Trainers? I'm a little confused on what you mean. Sorry about this.

[Asura Nirosuki]

oops O.T is and means [Other traniers]^^.

[Mystic]

Yeah, I've got it set up that theres going to be one or two trainers before you get to the first town. The gym is actually in the first town, theres no mission to go to the first town like in R/B/Y/G/S/C/R/S/E/FR/LG. Its basicly straight foward, head first into battle. Thats basicly it for the begining. I know it sounds like a big spoiler, but its better than having to restart the game because you had the wrong type or that you wasn't strong enough.

[Asura Nirosuki]

how adventureus! you will do a great job on this! good luck^^

[Mystic]

Thanks Maya. Also, I've got some updates so far. New maps, three new maps actually. Here they are.

A remake of Mogthorn Town. Its a different Chip Set, thats why this picture looks different from the one I posted before.

Route 47, this is the first mission of the game. Nothing much really, just simular to R/B/Y/G/S/C/R/S/E where you have to go to the first town for the package for the professor.

Aggrest Town, this is the first town besides Mogthorn. This is straight into a gym battle basicly.

[Asura Nirosuki]

I like them and i would love to play your new game keep up the good work for me!^^

[Dawson]

I like 'em! I especially like the recolored mart and Pokemon Centre.

[funnybunny]

looks great but try adding some flowers or something. That will full up your maps and make them look even better.

[Mystic]

Thanks for the ideas guys. I asked Peekimon for his oppion and he helped me out with about the same oppion. Thanks. I can now start working more on my maps, I was starting to think they looked rushed. I can fix the minor things like the flowers and add people in. Plus, it'll look better with when I take screenshots in the actual game. I took these when I was editing the maps. Thats why the houses looked faded. ^^'

[Neo-Dragon]

nice screenshots, but next time you are taking map screens, click this first (see the pic)
http://img69.exs.cx/img69/9117/usethis7yw.png

That will make your map look right for screenshots- instead of the upper layer tiles looking transparent.
:)

[Mystic]

Thanks for the idea Neo-Dragon. But I'm working on this in RPG Maker 2000. I'll probly, actually more than likely, update if I ever can get 2003 downloaded. I can't seem to get the full thing downloaded without it having to restart all over again.

[AbareMax]

Hmm.....the re-colored mart and centre look a little funny. They kind of look suspiciously like RM2k3kid's chipset. I'm not accusing you of anything, but you should definitely give credit to any chipsets that you use of someone elses.

AbareMax

[Avatar]

The chipsets are the ones RM2k3kid recolored, but they're included in the Chipset zip in the resource thread. I'm guessing that's where he got it from.

[Mystic]

Yep, thats where I got them from. I'll me more than happy to give credit where credit is due. I'll put RM2k3kid's name in the credits. That is if its ok for him to let me use the chip set.

[RM2K3kid]

I guess one person can use my recoloured pkmn center and mart.

[Mystic]

I appreate you letting me use your chip sets rm2k3kid. But if theres ever a problem with letting me use this for my project, just tell me.

I've got new screenshots ready from my game. The three screenshots are all from Route 48. I've got other places like the exit of the Aggrest Pass and part of one of the towns done too. I'm kind of going in a counter clockwise mode around the island. :\ Anyways, here's the screenshots.

[RM2K3kid]

Nah it's ok I might make a new pk center and mart for myself. Nice screens you have there!
Here are some things that you can improve on.
Screen 1 - you are missing a 2 pieces of fence at the house.
Screen 2 - your missing the deep water patches around the rocks and the ledges need to have the end pieces at each end.
Screen 3 - the ledges again.
Overall nice work!

[funnybunny]

That looks good, I have some tip in mapping Pokemon maps:

1. Don't make it to big, this will make your maps look empty, because you don't know what to put in the blank spots.
2. Use more trees, unless you are making a mountain or something.
3. Put flowers in X forms (see attachment).
4. Use the lighter grass to fill up things and use sand for paths.

You don't have to use my tips but they can help you to improve some of you maps ;)

[Sorye HK]

The rock allignment somehow displeases me. (I'm going mental) Anyway, great job.

[Dawson]

I think the rocks could use another layer to make it look less plain, other than that, good job!

[Mystic]

Ok guys, first off, I got RPG Maker 2003 last night so I can start working in that.

Also, I'll take any help I could use and the ideas and thoughts that have been posted so far will help me out. Thanks.

But I'm a tad confused, the rock formation, do you mean something like the layer and then another layer of rocks? Something to make it look more steeper?

[Sorye HK]

How about adding some mini games? For example at the pokemon center.

Hmm, I didn't think of that. I'll have to look into that, thanks.

I also did thought about having a deeper plot within the current plot. It'll still have something to do with Teams Lunar, Gaia and the mysterious team I mentioned.
