Pokémon Shiny Gold!

[Midnight Beat]

Wow. Nice job on the digging game, Zel. It's very detailed, and pretty close to the one in D/P. Very impressive.

No, it was in Gold/Silver as well.

Yeah! The digging mini game looks awesome. I have one question. So, is there a limited time to dig things up or after getting 3 items, the mini game ends?

I wonder where Fossil Cave is...

[JJK]

Congrats for the 100 (and 1) pages, its a true indicator of how great Shiny Gold is.
And if you want any proof, just check how many ppl registered in the forums just for this thread...


Anyway i just watch the video, the digging game is OUTSTANDING worth every capital letter
where will it be located?
And about my favourite, the beautiful Scyther, it would be great if it were available in the wild, and not only in the bug-catching contest (to get one cost me a automatic everstone...)

And for you guys saying "take your time", stop it, even if you dont mean it, you're basically doing the opposite...
Its ready when its ready... and no it wont be another Duke Nukem Forever...

[Raiph]

yea just take your time on the next beta so it comes out perfect and so it'll come out the way you like it XD.

[Stalin Malone]

I second JJK's point. Please make the onesl ike Scyther available outside of bug catching contests.

[Dan13x]

Cool, I like the digging mini-game!

[trevor813]

Yes... but with terrible side effects. Do not try it- all right? Many events will be messed.

[Twilite Darkrai]

Oh zel!
OMFG!
That's awesome!
Great work on that script.
Seriously it is S-I-C-K!
Kudos to you!
See you!

[SilentWing]

That is an absolutely ingenious implementation of the digging minigame (in your sig). Great job! It's well worth the loading time (maybe you can insert a loading message?).

Cheers!

[destinedjagold]

hey zel, the digging mini game is very fun!
i wish you good luck with the game.

[sirboulevard]

Dude! The new digging mini-game looks amazing! However it left me with a question: since fossils are obviously in, how are we going to be able to revive them? After all the lab on Cinnabar Island was destroyed. Also, is the Pewter City Museum in? I hated that they closed it in GSC originally.

[pokegamefreak]

the mini game is so awesome, what is your next mini game going to be like

[Retribution]

The mini game is nearly identical to the DP one.
It looks excellent.
I wonder where it is?
Well, good luck.
I'm sure Shiny Gold will be outstanding when its finished!

[choatix]

What other mini games are you putting into the next beta Zel?
Is that tower in Vermillion open yet?
Loving the look of the digging minigame! Where is it?
(if you don't want to hide it from us!)

Ah, I see. Anyway, it doesnt change the fact that it'd be difficult to do

I'll explain about how the system works at the end of this post, but about its location, where do we find Fossils usually?

But, at least you got one, didnt you? In the original GSC, that was its only location so you were forced to do the bug catching contest as well, so I dont see the problem of doing it here also. Besides, that's why you also have a Scizor around, if you want Scyther, just breed (breeding should have some kind of importance in the life of a Pokemon trainer... *cough*sounded like something an anime character would say*cough*)

I thought about that, but since you'd have to press a button to close the message and keep loading, I wasnt sure of how much of a good idea that was. Unless we have message boxes that can be automatically closed, does anyone know or remember?

Yeah, Pewter's museum is back open, and mainly it's function it's just that one: reviving the fossils. More will be talked about at the end of this post.

My next mini-game is something not that interesting. But something that I wanted to do: A match-up mini-game, yeah, like the usual match-up games where you flip a card and then you have to find it's match-up, only this time, instead of cards, we'll have Pokeballs, and instead of images, we'll have Pokemon

MINI-GAME No.2
"The digging mini-game and Fossils Resurrection"

Somewhere around Mt.Moon, there'll be an extra cave where a hiker will share you a hammer or a pick and you'll have the chance to hit tiles till they crumble to get items.

Now, how does it really works? Well, both the hammer and the pick have different characteristics: While the hammer is more powerful, meaning less hits to destroy tiles, it also lasts shorter than the pick (up to 15 hits), while the pick lasts longer but it lacks power (it lasts up to 30 hits). Obviously, their sharing prices are different, so it's up to you which to pick.
Of course, since there's also some randomization involved, during some hits, the pick may turn to be better than the hammer. But overall, the hammer is stronger.

The game ends as soon as you've used either the 15 hits for the hammer, or the 30 for the pick. After that, the tool will break.

Now, about the tiles, if you've watched carefully the video, then you'll have noticed that the tiles will change randomly each time you start a new mini-game. Each tile has its own "stamina", and it's related to the sprite it shows. If you see a tile that looks too weak (usually a message shows up to show it's "about to crumble"), it gives you an idea that with one or two hits (or may take more depending on the randomization) it'll be destroyed. In the other hand, rocks that look too hard (bigger rocks) may take quite a few tries till it crumbles. But, since as you hit'em, their sprite will change, you'll have an idea on how many more hits you'll need.

What about prizes? The prizes are set as soon as the mini-game begins, and they wont change. Prizes are related to the initial tile's stamina. As a rule, tiles with higher stamina (big rocks) will lead to better prizes as they'll take more hits to be destroyed, but, it doesnt mean that only the big rocks will give you fossils. In fact, any tile may give you a fossil or two (then, someone will probably make a list, I'm sure of that >.<)
Oh, but dont forget something! Most of the time, no prize could be assigned to the tile, meaning a waste of hits on a useless tile. That's where the fun comes in, hitting the right tile to get the prize.

Part2-Reviving the Fossils

Pewter's Museum will be open as soon as you solve a problem they have. Once that is finished, the reviving event will be available. It's as always, a scientist will spot the fossils and will ask you if you want to give him one (much like Kurt's Apricorn script), this time, reviving fossils activates a "timed event" so it'll really take some time to finish the process (unlike FR where you step out the lab, then back in and it was finished )

But... This time, this scientist is a klutsy one, so he's bound to make mistakes during the process, thus making the fossils unusable. When that happens you'll have to give him another fossil and keep trying till he is sucessful (and if he'll be sucessful is setted as soon as you give him the fossil to make the event harder to be manipulated)

That's the idea, all of the fossils (Kanto and Hoenn) can be gotten from the mini-game.

I love scyther you wont beat me in knowledge about him hehehe
I know it only appeared in the contest in GSC (as well as pinsir, i think), and i actually won a contest with him, but i lost the last (of the 3) opportunities catching a lv. 13 female to B-R-E-E-D I-T , as Ditto is nowere to be found (a LOT rarer than in GSC, at least on the same place where it was, between goldenrod and the park), and i needed the silver wind scyther...
But my suggestion only stands if u cant fix the 3-times-limit contest

Oh so scizor's around... yup its here in the dex route 43 didnt know that...
It'll only be a breeder and a dex filler, as ugly and slow as it is...
Anyway i got to the end of the beta so i stoped playing it, as i want to be HUNGRY for B6, so i'll do all of that only there

And you've changed the TM's, right? Just to be sure

You still dont know what will you do with the FR move tutors, right? Well, how about putting the crystal move tutor, who would teach Bolt/Beam/Thrower for 4000 coins in the goldenrod GC?











EDIT: What happened to this post? I was positivly sure i left it in page 102, it went back one page (WEIRD...) ....
