    • While GM8's 3D functions allow for you to mimic the semi-3D style of the newer pokemon games, I think you're going to find the task of programming a working pokemon engine in GM8 a far larger task. There was a working one back in GM5 but I haven't seen a really good open-source one since then. That said, I wish you the best of luck as it would be nice to see a pokemon game made in GM8 rather than RMXP for once lol.

    Well, I've started off by getting help from PokeGamer (an experienced GM8 user) who has made this : http://www.yoyogames.com/games/129986-pokémon-golden-yellow-version---goldgelbe-edition . With that as a base, and the battle, contest and menu systems that will programmed with assistance from him, I think that the challenge of making the game work should be easier than you've suggested.

    Well, it took GameFortress well over a year to finish Pokemon Twilight and he's a very very experienced GM user. I assume you're going to program it all using GM8P data structures? I didn't intend to sound like a total kill-joy, I'm just saying is, as someone who has used GM for over 5 years, I have seen hundreds of attempts at pokemon projects and only 1 completed version due to the sheer volume of work and complexity; though, as you have an experienced partner hopefully that will help you on your way.

    P.S. the tilesets in the RMXP screenshots look good.

    it'll all be done on GM8 and I do intend on finishing it, and not just trying it then giving up. i'm glad PokeGamer is assisting me ass I'm not very good with GML at all, so i'm working on graphics and 3d models.
    and thanks, those tiles are by Pokemon-Diamond on DeviantArt.

    Well I hope he's pro at GML then :P. He should do it with GM8P's Data Structure functions as that will make the task a bit easier. Also, I had a thought, couldn't you just rip the 3D models from the BW/HGSS ROMs and import them into GM? Might save you some time if it is possible o:

    well, he's ripped some, but as official Hoenn (and the custom) tilesets look nothing like anything from DPPtHGSSBW then either editing the models (if he sends me some) and creating models are the way forward at the moment.

    Ahh. You had to pick the region without premade models :P lol. Best of luck with that! I hope this works out because it will be amazing once it's done.

    You are on the Positions area, and the thanks to. Only those who contribute a lot towards the project earn to be in the Team Flawless.

    Sadly, no Fakemon will be in the game. However, spriting all Hoenn trainers (non-important characters, eg Gym Leaders) would be appreciated.

    • Remakes can be either awful or great (Metallic Silver is the latter), and this one looks like one of the better ones. I'd love to try it out at one point.

    Data Structures? I found them to be quiet slow as compared to 2-dimensional arrays. Besides, aren't these two the same:
    ds_grid_set(id, x, y, val);
    and
    id[x,y]=val;
    With the latter being not only faster but also less memory consuming. The only logical point to use a GM data structure is if you want to change all values in a region, which is not useful for Pokemon as well as that you can do the same with a for loop.

    Back to the topic, this game looks like it has potential. I remember playing the game that you posted on YoYoGames and I wondered how he made it so perfect. I always wanted an Emerald remake, especially in 3D. Your screens look nice as well. I also wanted to make a 3D overworld, but it just never turned out right for me. I could just never match the same angle and distance of the camera that DPPHGSS has.

    Something that is always a stand in the way. How can you make a whole region appear without having to putting them in one room...?

    It is a mystery.
