Pokemon: Asphar Version

[Lopnis]

I believe that if you don't pay your bills a guy comes and forces you to battle and his pokemon are considerable stronger then your own and the fight causes atleast one of your pokemon to get an injury that will cause it to be unable battle and the amount of your bills will be taken from you as the penalty for losing,but that's just what I think will happen.

[seanmaltokills]

looks like an amazing game.. cant wait to play it.

Two suggestion:

#1:Legendaries
Legendaries should be made stronger. Since you dont have the actual number for stats etc, and you have the growth rate thingy for gyms and trainer battle, i suggest you make legendaries a tougher challenge as compare to the character's current growth rate, that is no matter what level you are, legendaries will always be stronger and in the "Danger" gauge zone (maybe 20 "levels" higher in terms of ability and skills)....Also, a caught legendaries will not listen to your command until your growth rate is on par with it's level.

#2: Starter
Let's have some new triangle instead of the boring fire/grass/water, we add dual type

Fire/Dark (Houndoom)
Water/Psychic (Slowbro)
Grass/Fighting (Breloom)

Dark>Psychic>Fighting, but Grass>Water>Fire
Technically, type advantages doesn't play a big role here.

Defensive play will choose slowbro, offensive will take breloom, while houndoom for diverse movepool

[Yusshin]

This looks amazing! Good luck finishing it; It's quite apparent tons of people are as enthused as I am.

UPDATE :D

Hey. Been a while with no updates. Sorry about that.
Still been working on the game though, and making steady progress.

A few changes to the game:

• I've removed the "Pay Bills" feature
• I'm redesigning some of the system graphics
• I'll be including Johto Pokemon now too
• I've made some changes to the start of the game*

* You can now choose where you would like to start the game. There are four possible choices:



As you can see, at least three of them tells you what sort of Pokemon reside in that area. The reason behind this is because it will affect what type of Starter Pokemon you have.

After you have gone through the whole intro thing, you choose your hometown. The first bit of storyline (and also the first errand) is completely unique to each hometown, and involves you capturing one of the Pokemon that live in the area.

Which hometown would you pick?

More updates soon.

Definately. Agreed. Something like that. Legendaries will actually be legendary lol.

Sorry, but I've stuck with the Fire/Grass/Water triangle, sort of. At least if you don't want one of them you could choose to start your game in Tukimus Town - many different types of Pokemon there.

[Daedalus]

Tulivero Town would probably be the place I would choose, just to explore the environment.

WIP of the battle system revamp.

[PatJamma]

i like the updates but i just thought of something if possible take out the ringing sound when your pokémon has low health

[Vociferocity]

wow, this sounds totally awesome! can't wait to play it, good luck with making it :D

[Lockmaster24]

hey nice to see updates on this again.

It looks good but wouldn't be easier to keep the health bar in a single spot

[00Vampire]

Sure. That always got on my nerves.

It doesn't really make too much difference coding wise, so as a player would you prefer it to stay still?

Also, the pokemon and health bars in that screenshot don't move quite as fast as that.

New Screenie!


I'm just going to explain a few things in this screenshot...

• Danger Bar - As mentioned in the feature list, this shows you how strong the opponent is compared to your active Pokemon
• Fatigue - Moves no longer have PP, instead the stronger the move, the more fatigued your Pokemon gets. When the fatigue Bar reaches full, your Pokemon has to rest for a turn or two.

Also, I'd like to introduce the feature of...

"Move Selection"
Each Pokemon can learn many different moves which they don't have to forget. At any point outside of battle, a player can access a Pokemon's Skills Screen and choose out of all that Pokemon's learnt techniques, which 4 he wants to set for battle. This allows for lots of strategic customisation on the player's part.

[Pandemonioum]

Awesome, I love the fact that you are showing us these screens. Everything seems to be OK, fatigue system is one of the best kinds of systems probably ever put to any pokemon game, I hope we (the audience) can soon see more video or limited little demo of the game, because it seems to be quite a big one.

In regards to the video, I've just added a poll, so tell me what you want to see a video of.

In regards to a demo... There probably won't be one. I wouldn't feel right releasing a version of this game which didn't have every single feature in it. And when I've completed every single feature, then I may as well wait until the rest is completely finished too.

[PatJamma]

ooh i like the update nice idea of the fatigue thing

[Lockmaster24]

Fatigue is a smarter idea than PP but maybe some moves can restore Fatigue like Recover and restore a little or even a new move

Can I ask for 8? if not 6. 6 (at least) Would be better since I have a few kinda strong movset in mind that can perform good combos

Agree. Recover/Roost will supposedly restore it a little. But i dont think there's need for a new move

I didn't either it was just another option

[PatJamma]

what starters will there be in this game?

[Lockmaster24]

Good idea there. Moves like Recover, Rest, etc.

Sorry man, I'll be sticking to 4 now.

Sorry, my bad, I forgot to change the first page. Since I've added the 'Choose Hometown' feature, there's many different starter Pokemon you can have - Roughly about a different 5 per hometown. (though you'll have to find out what they are for yourself)

[jrookie]

I'm Sticking to Charmander~~
Roost + Heatwave + SunnyDay + Solarbeam is a BLAST!

[00Vampire]

Looks like I'll be doing a video on the battle system. I'll also include a tiny storyline event and a little look at some of the menu too. So expect that within 48 hours.

[Lockmaster24]

Oh if it's possible maybe there should be a pokemon age. The longer you have it the moves it can have at any one time.

so 0-1 month 4 moves, 1-3 months 5 moves, ect. to a max of like 8 after a year or something.

Tis a great idea, and I am tempted, but I think due to everything else involved with learning, improving and choosing moves, I don't think I'll use it. Thanks for the input though, it really makes me re-evaluate things and usually improves them.


Here's the video, sorry it's a bit late.

I realise it's quite short, and no audio, but there'll be longer & better ones up soon.

[Pandemonioum]

Ah, awesome and it seems that there you can see wild pokemon jump at you? That is cool. But now I have few thinks to talk about, have you already made some gyms and what kind of they will be, and how the rules in the gym affect your gameplay? Let's put it this way!

Questions!

1: In the gym how do battles proceed, sometimes in the anime there is restrictions like you can only use 2 or 3 pokemons or so?

2: If the Question#1 will be inputted to the game will all the gymleaders have 6 pokemon and they will randomly choose some of them (or the best fitted) pokemon to fight you?

3: Are gym matches re-matchable?
