yeah but if the player deposits Chikorita, Torchi, and even Pikachu, then what would happen? :\

Still mapping Krystal Mountain.

Well, you can make Porygon say: They're your main team members and friends! Don't let Chickorita or Torchic down!

Won't that be a little bit hard? I tried to ask that to DJG before, though I think no one has ever done that before... So I assume you need to be a complete genius to do that... (just an opinion)

That would require some asm.
Either that or... well, here goes a quick cheap method.

You could make the computer to make you warp to a "virtual world" where porygon waits for you to store your pokemon.
Then at the exit of the virtual world, put a script that checks if the player has Torchic or Chikorita, then complain if you don't have them.
If you try to leave without pikachu, it would say "you can't leave the virtual world without your very own body!"

Doable and makes sense, plus would be very original

This hack looks good, and the idea is really original. Only thing I must complain about are graphics. Mainly the player's house, as seen in the screenshot.

I didn't play the beta yet, so I don't know if there's something more looking that way. You need to improve the palette of the house to more vivid colours, and, if possible, to more colours.

Plus, the legendaries, you should make their battle sprites better. Pillow shading is a bit weird in a Pokémon game which has different spriting style unless you redo all Pokémon and trainer sprites. Did you plan to leave them without eyes, or are these sprites only conceptual and subject to change?

Anyway, I am glad that there is another hack with original idea and unique implementation, so I hope you keep it up. And about complicated things, when you make them, it will be perfect, if no, you might try to delete those features from game though it might be a disadvantage.

Cheers!

thanks, well, I'm not good at editing graphics though. :D

~~~edit~~~
A little update.
I am done mapping the floors of Krystal Mountain.
Now I'm about to proceed with scripting, but first, I think I need to take a little nap.

Anyways, here's a screeny that will show you of what will be the replacement of the POKéBALL found on the floor. x3
Thanks to Nicolas for the 'gift' overworld and Benevolent Wings for editing it.
Hope you'll like it.

[Lockmaster24]

I like the porygon thing that means i would be able to get the pidgey!!!

[Cid]

I was wondering, will you include HM Fly into this game too? (unless the world map won't be edited)

[destinedjagold]

Nope.
Fly won't be in the hack, for I'll replace it for a Shadow move, hee hee hee! >:]

[Lockmaster24]

cool a shadow move i dont like cut being in there because i hate teaching a starter a HM

[Cid]

Cool, I wonder what Shadow move that'll be? =shows a sly smile=

Yes, a much better and advanced idea of mine.
@IceCharizard: Really? You just said Porygon lets you touch the computer.

[Tropical Sunlight]

will there be more mystery boxes

[destinedjagold]

of course!
I'm also planning to add those disk in the real mystery dungeon game for TMs.

[Tropical Sunlight]

what will be in the mystery boxes? Key items OR Items OR Berries OR Support Items (like Leftovers)????

[destinedjagold]

I don't know...
Anything that will be useful for your missions, like berries or other stuff, but items like Ancient Coin or Left Overs will be the task of your 'Treasure Hunter' in PKMN Square.

It's still in the plot, for it's a minor script. Hee hee.

[Lockmaster24]

Yo, DJG you seem like a really good hacker I can tell by your hacks love this game so much i have said it like three times anyway what are your friends going to be? Eevee and... (Can someone be a totodile)

[destinedjagold]

Hm...
I guess I should spoil in some parts of the story...
PLAYER --> Pikachu
ROSE --> Eevee
STEVE --> Dratini
MARK --> Taillow
JAGOLD --> Sandslash

That's all.
There will now be other PKMN who'll join your team, thanks to Teh Baro's Porygon-explained idea.
However, I still haven't made a plot, and it's not yet my concern.
The top list is first rescue the PLAYER's friends.

[Tropical Sunlight]

So you will have more than 6 pkmns. Are Steve, Mark and Jagold going to evolve?

[destinedjagold]

yes they will, and Rose as well, but JAGOLD?
He's a Sandslash. xD

[thechampl]
