I. Introduction

Have you ever wanted to play a Pokémon game that encompasses everything you love about Pokémon and the Pokémon universe? What if there was such a game? And it was being made right now!?

Pokémon Hall of Fame is the brainchild of several Pokémon fans with only one goal in mind: to create the ultimate Pokémon gaming experience. The project will follow the story of Ash, the protagonist from Kanto, Pallet town to follow his dream of becoming the champion and Pokemon master. Ash will begin his journey in Kanto, where he will have to college badges, battle against trainers, evil organizations and eventually reach Indigo Conference. The tour of Orange Islands starts after he wins the champ of Kanto League and explore an unknown region to the south of Kanto. Pokemon HOF will include elements from existing Video games, Anime and Manga, but also with its own features.

This game is made with RPG Maker XP and Pokémon Essentials.

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

II. Story

For simplicity, the story will be separated into several chapters.

Chapter 1: Gotta Catch 'em All! [Completed]

You will follow Ash Ketchum's quest to become the world's greatest Pokémon master in its early days. You will be introduced to the fundamentals of Pokémon game playing and the many features of Pokémon Hall of Fame. Many adventures and rivals await you in your first quest, which leads to the Pokémon league. You will complete this chapter by competing in the annual Kanto Regional Championships of the International Pokémon League, held once a year in the Indigo Plateau.

Chapter 2: Citrus Paradise [Work in Progress]

After being awarded the honors of being Kanto Regional Champion, Ash Ketchum journeys out to seek the Elite Four of Kanto, with whom he desires a challenge. However, he is forced to deal with a minor setback in the Viridian Forest before he is able to get his hands on a ticket to the S.A. Monica, a cruise ship that travels from Kanto to the Orange Archipelago. What new adventures await Ash in this tropical paradise? You have to play to find out! ;)

Chapter 3: The Ultimate Clone [Coming Soon]

After defeating the Elite Four and rescuing the legendary birds from the hands of a dangerous collector, Ash is called on to deal with a powerful force which has no equals!

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

III. Characters

Thank you for reading this post and we hope you enjoy our game.

It looks pretty cool but I still don't understand the whole chapter thing. Please explain that. Also, is it just me or do the screenshots look blury? Um... I can't open .rar so I can't the game but good luck!

Looking quite good, but still nees some work. It looks unfinished. And I suggest getting someone to make trainer sprites for you instead of resizing images.

Oh, and for your 'The player can use HMs even without badges and POKEMON.' error, does that happen when you play the game normally too? Because you're supposed to be able to use HMs if you testplay the game.

I see. I just played the game using the "playtest" option from RPG Maker. However, I just don't know how to get the fishing rod event to work and the starter kit producer seems to care the least about this issue. I'd appreciate it very much if anyone of you could help me solve this problem. Besides, as you said above, I do need both trainer sprites and charset to make it work better.

The chapter system is introduced for the reason that it's projected to be a long game that feature both the physical and psychological growth of the protagonist. For instance, the protagonist is stated to be two years older in chapter 2 --- Orange Island than the time he wins the indigo plateau conference. In this way, this game is a little bit similar to the adventure manga and it's possible for you to see a change from the protagonist and his rival's appearance after chapter 2 or 3. If you still don't understand, then just ignore this point since it doesn't affect the game processing at all.

I'll provide more screen shots below, in which you will see the progress of the chapter Orange Islands. Two of the GYMs have been made and I added a cave for that LAPRAS event. Have fun!

Looks good anyway but the trainer sprite. They look blur and they are not in pixel form.

I do need help with the graphical thing. After all, I'm not a good artist at all and I just grabbed all the resources I could find on internet, which is still far not enough. Do you know someone that can help with the character sprite and trainer sprite? Thanks.

The reflection of the hero surfing in the gym is also off.
But my first impression of this game is that it looks really well done in terms of likeness to the official games, I was nearly going to joke and say "nice hack." (Just a little joke in this community section).

Well, it's fine if you consider it to be a hack at first. As I stated above, the chapter 1 is almost a re-make of the original game with merely slight differences. My mission is to make the journey of Generation I to continue after the protagonist win the indigo champion and therefore, I didn't make this thread even when the entire chapter 1 is completed. Instead, the chapter 2 is a brand new one and I'm supposed to add the element from the anime to the game(hopefully someone would help me with the graphical thing).

I could help if you really need. I could make titlescreen and so on.

I'd truly appreciate it very much if you could help with the graphical thing (the character sprites, trainer sprites and possibly tilesets). It would be great if you can make a titlescreen as well. Can't wait to form a team for this project!

Besides, I'm currently working on the island called Mandarin Island North, where two team rocket members stole the POKEMON from the islanders. The protagonist will attempt to discover their hide-out and defeat these two rocket grunt so that the POKEMON will be brought back to their owners. I'll give more screenshots once this is done.

What I can do is only titlescreen. Anyway, PMed you. Check it!

like it but you should make the indigo league real, i mean no elit 4, maybe face those later r somewhere else

I've already successfully made the Mandarin Island North with a Corporation called Lightning Co., where two former Team Rocket Grunts (Butch and Cassidy) are settling at the basement of that building and disturbed the islanders by constantly stealing their dear POKEMON, selling for cash or something else. Here're the screen shots:

Looks pretty cool. Are the Jolteon and the Flareon from the screenshots part of the Eevee that Red had in the manga (the one with the Vermillion Bay stones)?

New title screen has been made thanks to OmegaGroudon. Here're the two pics of the title screen and please leave your comments on this thread.

Pretty cool, but some images don't fit (especially Blue's).
I like the story :)

Whenever I double-click Game.exe it never runs.

What am I doing wrong?

Hello, everyone. I'm back with the project again! During these days I've successfully made the map and script of Sunburst island. The screenshot of Sunburst Island is already added and here's the new screenshot of the crystal onix event:



I created a Crystal Cave where the protagonist will find a mystic Crystal in the end. The wild crystal Onix will appear near the Sunburst Lake and the protagonist will battle against this wild Onix to prove the existence of crystal Pokemon. However, the Onix is still an ordinary Pokemon and the only chance is to make it a shiny Onix... I'm sorry that I'm unable to create a real crystal Pokemon in the game...

Besides, three new types are introduced as Mystic, Undead and Holy.

The Mystic type fits the Pokemon like Clefairy and Togepi who have mysterious Power in the game(I add this type to make them different from the other normal type Pokemon). The Mystic type has no advantages over any other types, but it also doesn't have a weakness.

The Undead type fits fossil Pokemon and some special Pokemon like Cubone. Almost all the physical attacks are not so effective against Undead type, with the exception of Ghost type. The Undead type is super effective against Normal, Fighting and Poison but weak against Ghost, Fire, Dark and Holy type.

The Holy type fits Pokemon of Mew, Celebi, Deoxys and Arceus. Almost all the special attacks are not so effective against Holy type, with the exception of Dark type. The Holy type's only weak against Dark type attack but is also super effective against Ghost, Undead and Dark type. attack. Therefore, the Holy type doesn't have weakness and is regarded as the ultimate Pokemon type.

Besides, several new moves are created as well, with Holy Ray, Angle's arrow, Holy, Ultima Beam, God's Power for Holy Type; Bone Throw and Bone Slash for Undead Type; Mystic Power, Magic Circle for Mystic Type; Dark and Black Hole for Dark Type; Stone Edge for Rock Type, Gunk Shot for Poison Type and Shadow Force for Ghost Type. Some of the moves are also modified in the moves.txt. You can find out these significant difference in the next release.

Have a nice day, everyone! Hope you like the game I made.

Well, I don't know why my game is so big and I'd appreciate it very much if anyone of you could give me advices on how to reduce the size of it, thanks.

Click to expand...

After downloading your game I understand why it is so large. I think you should:

->Remove the unnecessary maps in the game (the Intro map IS needed)
->Remove the Screen Shots folder
->Remove the Word Document (1 MB in itself :p)
->Remove the Server items (if not needed)
->Remove the Town Map Generator

Next, in the game menu, under File, press "Compress Game Data". This will compress the game :p. Also the file you have up now allows for anyone to take your game and change it for their own use. When you choose to compress the game, if you select the box on the lower left it will also create an encrypted archive of the game. This will make it so no one can take your work and make it their own.

Removing these things I compressed the file down to: 51.4 MB.

As much work as you have done to the game itself it will be a fairly large file because of all of the data in the game.


I've found a bug too. If you lose the battle to Gary in the beginning it not only takes you to your house, when you walk out you can walk by the Prof. Oak (I think thats who it is). Also if you reenter the lab you have to fight Gary again, then the game freezes. I don't know if these are fixed but thats what I have so far.


Edit: BTW PokéCommunity Staff. I understand not being able to post links before having 15 posts, but you may look into fixing it to where it does not give this when you are quoting others. :p Anyway the links broken up due to this small problem.

Do you have the RPGXP RTP installed? Is there an error?

Latest Update:
The Pinkan Island is already created and I also made the map of the deserted island with KABUTO's fossils as well. I did choose some Pokemon with Pink/Purple color to appear on this island while it's still impossible for me to bring all the pink color Pokemon to the game though. See the screen shots below and give me feedbacks if you want:

I noticed the bug already and it will be solved in the next release(After four gym leaders in Orange Island are made). I'm sorry for the inconvenience and hope you enjoy the game I made. Have a good day!
