Pokemon Flame of Destiny

[Hardy Har Har]

Many of my friends are thinking what game I am making. Well, this is it...



NOTE: This is a game, not a hack!
Made with: RPG Maker XP
Language: English


Hello, I'm Hardy Har Har.
I'm a Fire Pokémon Trainer and I always think of a game that you may only choose from the Fire-type and that's how Pokémon Flame of Destiny was started.


Travel to the Fiore Region after defeating all Bibbur-Si Gym Leaders
DP-Pt moves, abilities, and items
Pokégear 5310 XpressMusic
Battleground like in Platinum
Battle Frontier--instead of the 21 win streak, battle the Frontier Brain first before advancing to their facilties!
All Gym Leaders/Elite Four/Frontier Brains will use 6 Pokémon to make the game more challenging!
Magatama
Revised HGSS battle system


Pokémon Flame of Destiny is set in a continent composed of two regions, known as Azruf (Region of the Sky Guardian) and Shanoux (Region of the Sea Beast). This said continent is known as the Bibbur-Si Continent, and is located somewhere between Johto and Hoenn. People in the Bibbur-Si Continent lived a peaceful life and worshipped deities based on the Creation Myth of Sinnoh and the Bibbur-Si myth, also known as Bibbur-Burgingidan(explained below)


Creation Myth of Sinnoh
In the beginning, there was only a churning turmoil of chaos.
At the heart of chaos, where all things became one, appeared an Egg.
Having tumbled from the vortex, the Egg gave rise to the Original One.
From itself, two beings the Original One did make.
Time started to spin.
Space began to expand.
From itself again, three living things the Original One did make.
The two beings wished, and from them, matter came to be.
The three living things wished, and from them, spirit came to be.
The world created, the Original One took to unyielding sleep...

Thousands of years have passed.

Bibbur-Burgingidan
Long ago, when Bibbur-Si was created, two regions came to be.
Between the two regions, war has started.
The Region of the Sky Guardian became greedy, due to a heartless king.
The Region of the Sea Beast became violent, guided by an unseen hand.
The Renegade Pokémon appeared, triggering the war.
The Beings of Knowledge, Emotion, and Willpower gave life to four new Pokémon.
One Pokémon can face any strong foe.
Another Pokémon attacks with fire from its back.
Another Pokémon attacks with blazing kicks.
And, another Pokémon is fierce, and is the quickest of the rest.
The four new Pokémon battled the Renegade Pokémon, and so they defeated it.
The Renegade Pokémon retreated to a place beyond seeing.
That is the Legend of the Bibbur-Si Continent.


You live in Antler Town. It's your first day with a Pokémon. When you go down from the stairs, your mom gives you something so new--the Pokégear 5310 XpressMusic and the trendy Running Shoes. She said that Professor Cleo is looking for you--maybe the Professor will give you something...
When you go to the lab, you answer her questions and, depending on your answers, she'll give you your first Pokémon. Her teacher, Professor Oak, drops by to give you a Pokédex. After some conversations in the lab you go to one of the houses there where an old man will give you a free S.S. Ticket to Bibbur-Si's cruise ship--Princess of the Stars! Outside Antler Town, you'll meet one of your rivals.
As you advance into the game, you'll hear anything about the villanous team in the entire Bibbur-Si Continent, known as Team C.A.T. They kidnap Trainers to become their grunts, known as officials. If you don't understand about this evil team, I'll explain it below:


Q1: What is Team C.A.T.?
A1: Team C.A.T. is an evil team in the whole Bibbur-Si Continent, which is founded by a strange Trainer named Ben John.
Q2: What are their plans?
A2: Their plans are to build a huge army of evil grunts to capture all the powerful legendary Pokémon, and to rule the entire Pokémon world under military regime, which can trigger the deaths of many Trainers.
Q3: How many Commanders(Admins) do they have?
A3: I think they have two, but I'll reveal only one.

NPC Biographies:

Spoiler:

Professor Cleo Aspen:
Age: 39
Leading scientist of S.U.B.S.C.R.I.P.T.; mother of one of the Qashqash Gym Leaders
Info: Professor Cleo is one of Oak's brightest students. She spends some of her time chatting with friends and other relatives if no research papers on Pokémon is assigned to her.

Arnsell:
Age: 14
Info: One of the game's rivals. This smart Trainer, rarely seen without his Totodile, wants to be Bibbur-Si's greatest Trainer. He occasionally hangs out at Qashqash Town, with his friends.

Kieveleen:
Age: 14
Taunting City Gym Leader(uses Grass Types)
Info: Kieveleen, known as the woman with a passion that sprouts, originally lives in Mahogany Town in Johto. Before she began her career as a Gym Leader, she sells items that are useful to Pokémon, such as the Rage Candybar. However, when Team Rocket invaded Mahogany Town, she fled to Azruf to begin her career.

Greta:
Age: 58
Mangrove City Gym Leader, founder of the Ultra Marsh(uses Ground types)
Info: In her 30 years as Gym Leader, she is the most respected Gym Leader in the Bibbur-Si Continent. She founded the Ultra Marsh, which is located in Sun City in Azruf.

Lycyle:
Age: Assumed to be in her 15s
Splashthorn City Gym Leader(uses Ice Types)
Info: Lycyle, living in the cooler Splashthorn City, has a charming personality. Any grunt from Team C.A.T. is afraid of her due to her Glaceon using Ice Beam on any C.A.T. grunt spotted.

Jessa:
Age: 14
Alluring City Gym Leader, Guardian of the Tower of Doom(uses Ghost-types)
Info: Jessa, normally cautious, has a spooky personality. She often guards the Tower of Doom, sealing the entrance to the Distortion World. She sealed the entrance because of the Bibbur-Burgingidan Myth, about Giratina itself triggering the war between Azruf and Shanoux long ago.

Juchille:
Age: 13
Fuji City Gym Leader, Protector of the Temporal Tower(uses Dragon Types)
Info: Juchille, an honest and kind Gym Leader, spends her life protecting the Temporal Tower aside from being a Gym Leader. She is rarely seen without her Dragonair and Vibrava. However, when Team C.A.T. broke into Temporal Tower, she calls to the hero for help.

The rest will be revealed soon, since those Leaders from above are 5 of Azruf's Gym Leaders.

Wow, I'm so happy you liked it. I'll post an update soon about the starters and more screenshots to follow. (For the screenshots, I'll update the first post.)

[ryushin5]

Ok cool can't wait to see that.

[Ayouki Emerald]

Wow, I like the layout. Good job with that! The story line is pretty interesting. What that? "Bibbur-Si"? sounds really familiar... Monster Allergy? Nevertheless, I can't wait for more updates.

[SL1MSHADY]

wow nice story
...do u need help mapping?

I only need help mapping if I'm starting to post some open positions. What I only currently need at this moment is a scripter.

Bibbur-Si is from Monster Allergy--It just popped at my mind when I think of two regions combined into one continent.

Now for the starters update:
The professor may give you your first Pokemon depending on how you answer on her questions. The first Pokemon you may receive is either: Charmander, Cyndaquil, Torchic, Chimchar.

Well, thanks for the replies, and stay tuned for the next update!

[Hardy Har Har]

What I'm planning to show on the next update:
Info screen - it's in DP style
Gym Leaders - sprites of the leaders up to the first demo
Rivals - there are 4 rivals, all in all.

[Anuhrima]

did you get permission to use proffesor willow you just edited her

[~Undefined~]

Wow this looks great =D
But maybe you should change the sprites for your character and your rival... Make them diferent to the gold version ones.

[Rabbit]

What the...that doesn't really make sense. Team CAT is kidnapping people to train them to become officials? Is that a reasonable goal? "Never mind recruiting capable team members, we'll just kidnap trainers and put them in positions of power." And these victims don't get to eat, sleep, or drink? They're going to be dead within a month. So much for promotions.

Yes, I agree completly with Rabbit (Bunnys rawk yes!). and also, I am almost sure you are one of those people who steal sprites, edit them and say their their's, becuase that professor sprite is a horrible edit of Proffesor Willow from one of the most leading fangames of Pokemon itself. I can't imagine anyone stealing from a game so high in rank. I pity you. Get yourself a sprite, really. Also, away from stealing, the battle system looks okay. Change the textbox, though. And, um, the party backgound... Ehhh.. It looks pretty bad. Sorry, but it does. Do us a favor and change it. =] The maps look really really bland from the screenshot's point of view. If there weren't D/P tiles, I would say they looked horrible. All in all, pretty decent. Cheers.

Although I hate to say it, I believe no amount of my token advice can help this very much. The whole thing has the dirty taste of being 'shopped. Not to mention that the maps are default (boring!), the sprites are rehashed, and the story is black and white to the point of being mind numbing!
Also, the whole idea of 'officials' (who would no doubt have to speak to perform their job) is nonsensical. Any person deprived of water for any more than maybe nine hours would lose the use of their vocal cords, languish, and die in two days.

[Hardy Har Har]

The professor's sprite is from Coronis's manga sprites, just recolored to fit in the view(Of course I'll give him credit). It's just a placeholder until it is changed, like what happened to Acanthite long ago. About the kidnapped Trainers--once they are brainwashed as officials, they may eat, drink, or sleep since they are now officials of the evil team. The player and rival sprites are placeholders, since I really like using GSC sprites. I might change the storyline slightly due to what h POKE said:

I may start a team only at summer vacations, if I have time.

EDIT: The party background is from a Windows Vista Wallpaper.

EDIT 2: I made slight changes to the storyline.

[Hardy Har Har]

Hello, everyone! I also added a poll since I'm running out of ideas for the game's second rival...

EDIT: I updated the first post with some names of the towns in Azruf and percentage of completion. Thanks for the comments, everyone!

EDIT 2: I should stop taking screenshots at night. The screenies of the first post are the old ones, that's from a version of this game in development. This means that there are features which will be changed in the actual game.

[Articuno_IceBeam]

I think the rival with a Squirtle should be named Jason.

[▲]

Has there ever been a Fred(erick)? Or if you don't like that, you could go with a cool 'black name' like Lanre...

[~Undefined~]

I voted for Gary, but you should name him Green, like in the manga, though...

[Wichu]

It's still obviously copy and pasted from my thread, with a few changed details... You should rewrite the whole thread from scratch.

[h POKE]

Are those seriously still the maps you're using for the actual game, or are you planning on making something with at least some style and interest?

I never read any manga series before... In the anime, his name is Gary.

Oh, sorry! I just think things at random when I'm bored. If I have spare time, I may rewrite it from scratch. The Creation Myth of Sinnoh--I found it at Bulbapedia.

I'll just add new houses at random, though Antler Town is the smallest town in the Bibbur-Si Continent. The map of Antler Town does not need to be changed. (NOTE: Twinleaf, New Bark, Littleroot, and Pallet have fewer houses than the rest.)

[Hardy Har Har]

Oh, I edited the first post and added a new feature.

[Hardy Har Har]

Note to everyone viewing this thread: 4th Generation moves will be implemented in this game.

EDIT: To those who wanted to support this game, it is now easy to put userbars in your signature. I already changed the userbar area so that anyone can copy the code to place in their signature.

The Platinum battle system sounds really interesting - especially to a fellow Essentials user . It'll be quite an achievement if you manage to complete it.

Best of luck, game looks like it's got potential. Just a few questions: what exactly is the difference between the new Storage system and the old one? Also, the plot is a little confusing; why exactly is Team C.A.T. torturing and training people?

The old storage system has commands like Move, Release, Shift; the new one has Warp, Dismiss, Swap. It has a new interface unlike in RSE, that's why I call it new. I'm planning to make it 100 boxes. In the Bibbur-Si Continent, Team C.A.T. kidnaps Trainers to build a huge army to capture all the legendary Pokemon and rule the whole Pokemon world under an extremely strict rule without giving freedom to any Trainer. Any Trainer who is kidnapped, who disagrees Team C.A.T., will be tortured until the tortured Trainer agrees, that's why.
