[Developing] Pokémon: Phoenix Rising

[Braviary75]

Yes I think it's a great idea

[Ginai]

Wow, this looks amazing!
I'm looking forward to play that version

[Fraot]

Dude, this game looks awesome.
However, there's something that bugs me, I've seen many things rolling in many games...
Your sprites from the protagonist are also in Pokémon Garnet(or were). Also, the starters from Pokémon Garnet were also in another fan game and... BAH! I'm confused, who made these things?

Well, you see, the two most popular RMXP Pokemon games are Phoenix Rising and Garnet. Most of their work, as in updates and feedback, are on dArt. Blue Chrome is very popular too, but Luka is kinda discrete with his work.

Anyway, lots of people are on both the Phoenix Rising team, and the Garnet team. Also, Abnegation and Hydrargirium are friends, so you never know what one might give the other if he no longer needs it... It's quite confusing if you don't follow up on dA...

[Fraot]

I wanted to give a guy all the graphics from my game but this is gonna make a huge confusion if I decide to resume the progress of my game.
I think one should make things exclusively for him/her self.

Getting back to this game. It's awesome and delicious to my sight. Keep up the good work.

It was either use them (as I personally loved them, I've even edited the characters) or let them be thrown in the bin. I've actually been using them longer than Garnet had been now too.

[Reck]

Looks pretty nice I must say. The menu system is pretty cool, graphics seem good, and the story is great! I can't wait to try it.

[Prof_Alexsander]

OMG looks sooo good i cant wait until the Beta is out im gunna freak when that happens
:D

What if the two version actually could battle or trade via net or Bluetooth.. I don't know how you guys could pull it off. This games may even be more expensive than the new Black & White 2 if sold but that's against the law... maybe you could send a sample game to Nintendo maybe they might like it BUT they could reject it and make the game the basis of their next game.. This is Great

Yeah, but they're japanese .
They will never do that because they are too proud of themselves and no person from the western part of the world would persuade them to do a pokémon game like that.

I'm going to be having online features via php & mysql. All you need is an internet connection and you'll be able to battle, trade and other features with others. Including a GTS. If you have any online features you would like to have added, let me know and I'll consider.

How do you plan to implement online battles?

By use of php & mySQL, along with a server to host them. I'll probably allow access through the Pokemon Center as usual. Most likely with the addition of a pal-pad for private room battles.

I haven't had time to read this whole thread so i am gonna ask this one question. is this a pokemon fire red hack. as in i can play this on VBA (Visual Boy Advance)

No. You're in the wrong section. You're thinking about ROM Hacking. This is a game, meaning it is played on the computer without an emulator, it will run as a standard .exe. As with all games in the Game Development section.

[AwsomeMew]

Did it Be Released, The Game Looks also Really Nice

[red4dynamite]

Dat.....Dat graphics.
Amazing I will play the **** out of this when its released.

[BareBones]

Incredibly impressed with this so far. I like the starter choice (possibly because of my massive love for Growlithe) and I like the 'cards' theme for the antagonists. The sprites look good, as do the screenshots!

Whilst I have only skimmed it, the story and history looks very promising. You've put a lot of thought into it and taken no shortcuts which is nothing but a good sign!

However, I have a question! You say the guardians/oracles will be in random locations and that you should listen to the locals to find them. I have no objections to having them out of gyms and not being in immediately obvious locations, in fact I look forward to this specifically, but I wonder if that won't be a bit tiresome if they're incredibly far away?

I eagerly await a chance to play this.

[G_Sylar]

The screenshots are so good. I'm really impressed by your work and hoping we'll have the chance to play it soon.

[damion]

this game looks amazing, i love the backgrounds in the battles i can not wait to play this

[Skyy]

cant wait to play this game. love the starters and the graphics. the music is amazing also. keep up the great work!

[ShadowTheDarkrai]

I have an idea. Going along with the cards theme, there could be Jokers. Jokers could be characters of the team used in side events not in the main story just like jokers in a deck: not always used in the deck.

I probably missed this in the comments, but cba to check; why did you change the title?

Might as well quote Gav:

Anyway, big news this month. The first and foremost thing to mention is the fact that I've changed the name from Pokémon: Forever Lost to Pokémon: Phoenix Rising. The reason is that the name was a little unoriginal and no longer related to the game I am creating any more.

Guess that should explain it :) He also asked about changing the name before he did, on dA :)
