Pokémon Platinum, the G/S/C Remake

FireRed and LeafGreen were a huge hit for Nintendo. All it was was an updated remake of the original Red and Blue games. But G/S/C was undoubtedly the most popular generation, so why not remake them? Nintendo has guarenteed that they would not make the game, so the job fell into the hands of Project Platinum, which was founded just for the purpose of the creation of this game.

This game will be designed in Game Maker 6 rather than RPG Maker XP, because it can create an engine similar to the one in FR/LG, and can also program the functions such as PC storage and the PokéDex, which RPGM can't do. On top of that, once the game is completed it does not need any program at all to run. It'll run as soon as you download it and play it!


For those who have never played G/S/C, (and yes, there are people who have never played) the plot is as so:

You begin in New Bark Town, a quiet town at the edge of the Johto region, near Kanto, where you have been asked to run an errand for Prof. Elm, the neighbor and friend-of-the-family. When you reach his friend's house, who is apropriately named Mr. Pokémon, you run into the familiar face that is Prof. Oak. He takes just one look at you and declares that you are the next Pokémon prodigy and gives you a PokéDex. On the way back, however, tradgedy strikes when your new arch-rival, whos default name is Silver, steals a Pokémon from Prof. Elm and challenges you to a short battle with it. Afterwards, you promise to take care of your new Pokémon so it doesn't end up like Silver's, and your mom thereafter sends you on your merry way.


Hopefully everything, I mean EVERYTHING, from G/S/C should remain intact, from the PokéGear to the Day-to-Night system. But there are new features as well. Apart from the well-known Running Shoes, Tohjo Falls, the Niagara Falls of Johto, will extended from just an obstacle to an entire dungeon. Also, a new area called the Irafas Isles will be an extra addition. Not just to rival the Sevii Isles from Kanto but to also make up for the closed-down Safari Zone in Kanto.


Screenshots, anyone?

I'd post the URL for you, but that would be against the rules, since it's a forum. *sigh* Just stick to my sig in the meantime.


Lastly, some extra stuff to support us with (though the larger ones really need updating):

[Pokemanz]

Hey, FIRST POST WOOT lol. Anyway, great game i'll be looking forward to it!

[LegosJedi]

Oh, wow! This is looking awesome so far! Keep it up! My little bro would like this!

[The Dash]

There are so many G/S/C remakes around. Lets hope this one gets finished! It looks really nice and the fact that the Day and Night system changes the tilesets aswell is a real peice of icing. Keep up the good work mate!

[freundmon]

your screenshots look amazing, this is one of the best g/s remake iv'e seen

[pokerocks]

The old day eh? Yeah, hopefully this on will get finished. It is very good and I hope you keep up the great work.

[Minorthreat0987]

this game looks really good ive been watching it through your forums it looks promissing....Good luck i hope you guys finishe this i would enjoy playing it.

~Minorthreat~

off topic:RPGM can program a pokedex and pc storage just look at what Azura is doing with Pokemon Metropolis, its just hard tho.

[ZeroArmada]

Yeah good luck on it. I still have my G/S remake in my comp stashed away.. so that makes another one lol.

[GymLeaderLance99]

So this is the Pokémon Platinum I've been hearing so much about... Incredible!! Is that "Hero/Lance Tag Battle" based on the "Hero/Steven" one in Emerald? Heh, this game looks so interesting that I might just download Game Maker 6 just to play it. Keep it up! ^_^

[brendan mc]

i cant wait for this game it looks amazing !
good work and keep it up k !!!

[Har D Har]

YES! You guys have FIANNALY come to pokecommunity! Hey Gameguy, it's me, HarDHarKoopa! You're doing a great job.

[ShadowKP1]

Holy sweet i've always wanted to play a G/S/C remake. Keep up the good work.

And GymleaderLance99 you don't need Gamemaker to play this game once it comes out. {I think that's how Gamemaker demos go}

[Chris-h11]

This game is awesome, I cant wait to play it

[Minorthreat0987]

hey i was reviewing the forums and i noticed that it seems that the actually development, like in the Game Maker engine hasnt started...is that true? i don't know i was just reviewing the screenshot thread. I was just wondering... and the maps look awsome so does just about everything else.

~minorthreat.

~minorthreat.
Well, we've started a whiles back, but we really haven't gotten our heads together on that yet.

[DarknessMonkey]

Wow..this looks awesome!

I have one question though..is Eusine going to be in this game?!

[Blaze Dragon]

That seems like Coronis´ Manga Sprites. Anyways, this is the best GSC remake I´ve seen by now, keep it up!

[TheGameGuy]

I think so. We're combining the best of all three versions, but mostly retaining the Silver plot. (Lugia in Whirl Islands, Ho-oh in Silver Tower, Legendaries on the loose, etc.)

[Ash_Pokemaster]

All I can say is... GREAT! Seeing you, making a PokeGear makes me really happy. As for the Day/Night, it sound great. And I have a question. What tool do you use to make this game? RPG Maker?

Edit: Sorry, just saw it's being make on Game Maker.

[Sion]

Awesome dude, I thought this was going to be another pokemon "dream" but this seems like its as close to reality as one can get. Great job, you're giving us 14 year olds a great name. I can relate to you alot. Good luck!

~Sion

[darthjarjar]

I like the look of this game, looks just like the original, the graphics are improved very well, anyway good luck on this

[TheGameGuy]

~Sion
I must really have good karma. The entire group is already almost official. Now if we can all get good degrees in college and meet face-to-face someday...

[pokemaster_jay]

this game is looking beter and better. love the improvment. but you should add extra stuff in there. cause its boring just remaking. good luck

[Illusion Gaming]

and can also program the functions such as PC storage and the PokéDex, which RPGM can't do
:O dude you know nothing I alreadly made a pokedex just like sapphires/rubys!and for the pc I'll make that once I design my own pc background image or get some one to make it. oh and this is looking goood looks too good!lol well good luck with it

[Popuri]

This game looks awesome!!! Can't wait to play it!

[Gridiron]

I'm Gridiron, and I'm one of the mappers for this game. I made most of the Johto maps being used, and some other maps as well. I've also made some character sprites, and some of the Pokemon sprites.

We've actually started to make the demo on Game Maker. We're not very far at all though. If someone has some good tutorials to help us out, that would be great.

[zidanes]

dawg u got skills makin a remake like that. It does look like one of the best remakes a saw ( from all the games other people tried to remake )

[Amachi]

Wow. Just wow.

I can't wait to see the extra stuff.

[enyce]

I think all 251 originals (johto kanto) should be catchable in the wild.

I mean how are we going to be able to trade for pokemon like bulbasaur and stuff. lol

[Sharanza]

awesome game great tilesets

[Zerus]

That...is...AWESOME! Good luck with that.

[Darkomega1]

Nice G/S/C Remake CAN YOU also make a Pokemon Stadium in it, like Pokemon Stadium 1 and 2 but not as good as that, just have poke cup for lvl 5 and a cup for lvl50 and lvl100 and win great prizes like a new pokemon and a masterball or maby a trophy. That would look great in it

[Red1530]

Is this the same on that was locked on the Nintendo Forums?

[Crystal ALpha-Star+]

GameGuy how is it going,kept an eye on your game and I like it,might join your forums BTW

[DarkDoom3000]

yeah the orginals would be enough, ( i never really liked the 3rd gen pokemon)
keep it up!!!

[brendan mc]

in this remake i had an idea if you want to use it go ahead
okey!
when you complete the pokemon leage in the game and get all eight badges from kanto.
you go back to prof elm and he wil tell you there is a special island you can go to he gives you a boat pass
in the island all the pokemon from 3rd gen and the ones you cant normaly catch are available
also, in that special island there is a secret pokemon in a cave there.
(pick what ever leggandary that you want to put in that cave) you battle that pokemon if you find it and its catchable
what do you think???

[D-Man]

i can help you if you want, i know how to sprite, how to renew maps (and tile them), and i've been working in a game maker for about 3 years now....

[brendan mc]

i could sprite too if you want lol

[TheGameGuy]

@Red1530: Yes, this is the same one from Nsiders. We're just trying to expand our horizons so more people can know about us.

@brendan mc: That's the whole idea behind Irafas Isles! Except that you get the boat ticket from the Director of the Radio Tower in Goldenrod.

[Kitaryu]

Awesome is all I can say. =D
The games that took place in Johto were my favorites (of all the pokemon games). And I have always wanted to see a remake like this! ^.^

[brendan mc]

ok game guy , but still can i help to sprite

[TheGameGuy]

Check at the forums. We've got lots of spriters already, but maybe there's something you can do. :)

[Tyler]

WOw this game is Great i wish i could make games as good as you.

[3DoOrSdOwN]

this game is real good i'm impressed with all the awesome games on here:nervous:

[brendan mc]

if u want me to do sprites just ask k mate ??

[-Oblivion-]

Gyarados is caught at lv30 and it says met at lv40.

[mattgcn]

Hi, I'm mattgcn and this is another project I'm staff at for doing very little other than telling other people about it and hoping something comes of it. Well, I'm also forums head but I don't do much there either...

Well, good work not getting the thread locked this time Gameguy! :P

[DarkDoom3000]
