Pokémon Amethyst

[Veristical Blaze]

I wondering when the first downloadable version is ready and if it's gonna be a hacked version of the GBA games or just a total new ROM?

[Atomic Reactor]

Neither.
It's not a ROM Hack.
It's a game made with a program called RMXP

[cdrew]

the graphics are great and the mappings good too

[P.I.E.86]

I have a question that may seem dumb but will we be able to play this game on a DS with a flash DS card?

[Atomic Reactor]

Neither.
It's not a ROM Hack.
It's a game made with a program called RMXP
So strictly for the computer.
Unless your really good at programming, then theres a slight chance that you could get it on a PSP.
But not a DS

[~Äkumà~]

man i cant wait to play this game

[PsychicDarkDragonTrainer]

hey there, you asked for ideas and i had a theroy: coud you invent a pre-evolution and evoltion for zangoose and seviper? and also, maybe make the preevolutions actually friendly to the other kind, and have the evolutions reconsiling with the other. basically, have it as baby frinds, then a fued (zangoos and serviper) and finally the evolutions pairing together again. also, perhaps some items like the, i dunno, forgivness claw (zangoose) and clarity wing (serviper) and they must level up with these items at max happiness. also, would you be able to make seviper a dragon poison, like a wyvern? not sure a bout zangoose. bt enough ranting. you can use them if you want, tho i dought it.

[Veristical Blaze]

Hey guys would this be a nice cry for Fatablos?

[TheRexion]

What in the world!?
That was very interesting and mysterious, perfect for a Dark Pokemon

[Zurr]

i took bushby and edited it a little
sorry for taking it without permission


and two sprites of my own from scratch

Polear

and
Spiritale


Anyways, awesome game, and keep up the good work.

As I said already, I was thinking of a more roar-like sound. That sound would make a great cry for a Ghost-type; not sure if it suits Fatablos, though...

Thanks for your contribution; I'll take your suggestion into account. You never know, it might get in...

Anyway, I've made an amazing breakthrough! I would have posted it earlier today, but education got in the way... Anyway, here we go!

Spoiler:

Huh? What's this?

Spoiler:

Electrolux used Spark!

Spoiler:

Shellos used Rain Dance! It started to rain!

Spoiler:

Electrolux used Swagger! Shellos's Attack sharply rose! Shellos was confused!

Spoiler:

Oh! It hurt itself in its confusion!

Spoiler:

A second Spark finishes off Shellos!

Spoiler:

But Shellos is replaced by a level 80 Staraptor! Who's got the upper hand now?

That, my friends, was the world's first computer vs. DS Wi-Fi battle! Here's a picture of both screens together:

Spoiler:

I know that the background is grassy (I haven't made any other backgrounds yet), and there's a glitch in the number of the player's Pokémon (I did actually have 6), but this is pretty amazing nonetheless! Shellos's name is automatically turned into lower-case (the game detects if it's been nicknamed; if not, it converts the name to lower-case. As you can see, Luxio kept its nickname).

It won't let you use any new Pokémon or moves (to avoid crashing the DS game; however, anything already in D/P is fair game. It uses the updated Amethyst mechanics (similarly to how a D/P game battling Platinum will use the Platinum mechanics, such as 60% accurate Hypnosis). Pretty cool, isn't it?

Oh, and I sorted out trading, too:

Spoiler:

I haven't implemented the Quick Ball sprite yet, so it currently just looks like a normal Poké Ball. Every single bit of data is traded, including the catch location (the time caught appears as midnight, as D/P/Pt don't store the time, just the date)!

Now you can look forward to beating each other over Wi-Fi, even against Diamond, Pearl, or Platinum! Please post any feedback or comments in this thread!

[Retribution]

Woah! Thats amazing.
I wonder how you did it!
Also, I like Shellos' sprite (and Staraptors' :D)
Keep up the great work!I think it's amazing, personally.
Also, I love the interface in Amethyst! :D

[BlazingLink]

Woah!

I'm impressed!

This game is so amazing.

Oh, and is that you Wichu? I can't tell right now

Yeah, it's me (or is it? How do you know I'm the one who posted the update?).

The Staraptor sprite is temporary; it's a resized Platinum one (hence why it looks so pixellated).

[Neo-Dragon]

Hahaha. That's great. Good one.

[Atomic Reactor]

Wow... That's simply amazing Wichu, If nintendo hears about this, they should like, hire you and such. So what did you do? How did you get it to be able to battle and communicate with a DS? Scripting and such? Seriously... Amazing.

Wait... Is this all just a big april fools joke?
Yeah, ha! Good one Wichu :]

[Genghoul]

*cough*APRIL FOOLS*cough*
Sorry to ruin it, but that is just way too awesome to be possible. But I give you and A for effort Wichu!

[Blazers]

Um...
april fools joke..?

I actually wasn't fooled at all.. but good try

Ha, that's why i realized it was a joke XD

[Yuoaman]

Nice effort Wichu. Would've been great if it were real though...

[Veristical Blaze]

screens look really great!

[Haza]

Are alternate forms on this? For Deoxys, Wormadam, Arceus, Rotom, Castform, Cherrim, Giratina, Shaymin, Unown and Burmy?
