Ruby hack: Pokémon SkyLine

[Volcanix769]

I just battled the 3rd Gym leader. Her Chansey isn't tough with my Eevee around. But her Girafarig. o-o My Quilava and Eevee can't handle it when they are at LV 17.

Team:
Eevee LV 17
Quilava LV 16

[PokemonMasters]

I've heard that you're working on this hack,but I have never thought that this hack can be realeased in such a short time!It looks as great as the RD series,it's really amazing...I'll try it immediately!

[manutdrule]

btw the guy just below the gym in this pic (out of sight here) is blocking the path to a item which has no other way through (cant surf either)

team after beating 6th gym:
lvl 40 swampert
lvl 40 venusaur
lvl 39 scizor
HM...agents (aw yeah!)

more feedback:

Spoiler:

1) imo grass pkmn are really bad for this hack so far.
Yes grass types generally have poor offense in any pkmn game,
but in this hack so far it was real irritating to see way too many bug catchers, bird keepers and young ladies,
making 80% or so of the trainers' pkmn be grass, bug, flying (especially this!) and fire types.
Grass types thus fare badly in most trainer battles, plus they dont fare well against any gym so far either. (maybe the electric one but not really ie.magneton).
It was annoying at best to raise grass pkmn like venusaur as they get walled way too easily, and considering that u get mostly grass pkmn early early game, its best to just..not use them. in a sense limiting the pkmn u can get early game, get the point?

yes late game with all the surfing would be better for grass types, but by that time there are many good electric types around as well.

2) too few TMs. understand this is a beta but would be nice to have at least a few decent stuff around routes (like bullet seed, headbutt, thief etc.?).
This compounds the grass pokemon problem said earlier since theres so little tm to provide coverage (facade venusaur all day long)
Dont have to put too much or too strong stuff either.

3) no evo stones, not even moon stone?

other than these grips, throughly enjoy the events in this hack so far.

Where did you get Cyndaquil?

Some issues I found:

1. Extremely annoying weather conditions, of course maybe it's intended to differ a little, but this is just weird...

2. Eevee sucks. The little ****er won't learn any useful attacks, not even when it evolves into espeon or umbreon. And because of the weather conditions, you don't know what time it is, when playing on 8x the speed that's horrible

3. Rock Smash and Flash... Really?
I really don't get the flash thingy. In LoG it didn't always hit WHILE IT WAS A DEFENSIVE move... well yeah okay, it's kinda useful though.
But then Rock Smash, 20 damage? Please, Please, Please make that at least 40. This is just ****ed up. I'm sorry I got to have HM Slaves now.

4. My pokemon levels are utterly low, but that's my fault, with all the courage one can possibly possess, I defeated the 5th gym with pokemon of 22 and 24 and so on.
I could do the 6th right away if it wasn't for their overkill of superpotions on 1 pokemon, they use them ALL.
I don't know how you scripted it? Like "here you got 8 potions, use 'm wisely" and then they use 'm all on 1 pokemon. That's just annoying.

5. The towns are really, really close to each other, not really a bad thing, but 4 gyms that are like 2 steps away is too much, place 1 further away.

6. People walking away in the middle of a conversation, just walking away, turning around, while still talking.

7. Above the ghost town, with the graveyard and all, it occured to me that you could meet pokemon without walking in grass, well I would say "ofcourse, it's the graveyard" but meanwhile the defeat gastly event even on the green tiles left from the graveyard, pokemon would appear, after the event, they won't.

Furthermore I would like to say that the hack is awesome.

The dialoges are good, funny and clever.

I must agree on the grass pokemons being weak, my skiploom isn't really good :/ It has leech seed and aerial ace, but that's it...

Team:

Espeon 27
Swellow 29
Farfetch'd 25
Duskull 25
Skiploom 26
Charmeleon 24

Subs:

Nidorino 23 (HM Slave, sadly)
Meowth & Gastly 20

Go to the beach you started off with, and go to the guy in black clothes, then he'll either give you a Cyndaquil or Mudkip.

[Loonie]

Wow DestinedJaGold the greatest hacker who ever lived is back with a new hack so cool....... dude your the one who inspired me in hacking and stuff.. and also i loved the trilogy of ruby destiny especially LoG .. which is the best hack Ive played.. so far.. Ill be sure to keep an eye out for the progression of this hack and its final release ... Good Luck Sir

[PokemonMasters]

how do i battle the gym leader in the ghost town!?

[garjora]

Very nice, I enjoyed your previous hacks as well so i'll wait until all the bugs are fixed and until the full version is released, can't wait.

[Volcanix769]

Team after grinding,winning 3rd badge, battling N:
LV 25 Nuzleaf
LV 25 Quilava
LV 27 Eevee(dang it why can't it evolve!?)

Anyways, I am enjoying this hack so far. The custom battle animation is good as well.

[SwiftSign]

Oooh a new destinedjagold hack :3

Well the story is... vague. To say the least. I know people often do that because they don't want to spoil it but it sounds awfully generic at the moment.

"- You HAVE to talk to trainers if you want to battle them."

This is an interesting part of you game, I'm assuming that SOME battles are forced/required to progress.

Interesting world map! I like the different style.

I like the new tiles, but I think these two screenshots show a few problems. Firstly is the trees - the top and bottom colouration/pattern is so similar that they seem to merge together, which looks horrible. Might be better to add more lightness to the top with a more defined edge - the top of the tiles are very heavily shaded.

Secondly I think the cliff tiles need a bit more outline, or perhaps the grass colour softened. They contrast a bit and is missing... something.

Also why is it 'On Hold' when it only just got submitted?

[umbreontheultimate]

Been waiting for you to release something new. Eevee is one of my favorite Pokemon because of all the evolutions. I'll be looking forward to final release.

I see. So you can get another starter beside changing Eevee for a 3rd gen one.
But well... I'll wait for DJG's response regarding the changes in Charmeleon's moveset.

Meet her when she's about to leave the gym, go to graveyard (by using the path next to the trees), beat Gastly OWs and talk with her, she will return to gym.

Make it evolve by using YAPE...
There's no other way how to use it :/

Not quite.
You can actually continue the story without battling any trainers beside rivals and gym trainers.

Yeah, that reminds me... DJG, it's interesting to have such a small gyms but only one or two gym trainers? :/ That's kinda not enough for training :/
I know you can train in wild but as you have Pokémon on >30 wild training is useless...
Can you at least make them rebattleable just like the other trainers? :D (Which is little annoying to meet up with every trainer after each gym to get a little useful training xD but I like this feature :D)

[GameGuru141]

dude y were u so evil in designing the gym leaders XD

[ChaosSonic]

This is a good hack. Starting off broke, challenging gym leaders....loving it.

[Vato]

Just started playing, already loving this hack
I just wanted to share an oddity that just happened a while ago:

I went to Starlight Beach and 'gave Eevee back', then I received a Squirtle, when I was asked if I wanted to nickname it, I said yes, and then a screen for nicknaming Eevee appeared, I pressed B, and after Joseph left, I checked my party, I had a Squirtle, AND Eevee.

Is that supossed to happen (keeping Eevee after 'giving it back')?
I hope you can answer, anyways, best of luck on your hack!

[Volcanix769]

Team before the battle of the 6th Gym:
LV 31 Nuzleaf
LV 34 Quilava
LV 34 Espeon
LV 24 Slowpoke
2 HM SLAVES!
And I'm uploading some stuff of it in my YouTube. And it's kind of annoying for each trainer I battle to use a lot of potions, they kill my Pokemon a lot of times, even though I grind.

Really? I should have done that then. XD

[Ash493]

Guys, do you know that one Kanto starter is available from the old guy behind CUTable trees and you can get Bulbasaur and Squirtle as Pokéball events?
You don't need to exchange Eevee for it =) (Or get it without losing Eevee :D)

[krisye]

The guys that give you leftovers and exp shares and stuff. They give you like 2 or 3, is that intended?

They give it to you as a reward for beating the gym leaders, I guess they give us 2 probably because of how our Pokemon need it.

I beat the 1st Beta w/ 6 badges:
LV 37 Nuzleaf
LV 37 Slowbro
LV 37 Espeon
LV 37 Typhlosion
