POKéMON: Mewtwo Strikes Back (MSB)

Spoiler:

HARK!

Today marks TEN YEARS since the day POKéMON: The First Movie hit theaters in the United States. I was hoping to have this game done by now, but sadly, I don't. I'm working almost alone on this game, aside from AvatarKris doing some sprite work for it.

BUT ALAS. The beta, in RPG Maker XP format, is available to you!

Here is the holy link.
Bow down to it.

Haha :D Anyways, all you do is install the things in the folder it says to, and run the Game.EXE after to play.

I realize this game is buggy. And I'd appreciate any and all bugs, glitches, and mistakes to be brought up to me.

And, if you have experience spriting, messing with RPGXP and Poccil's Starter Kit, or anything else that may be useful, tell me so. This game will TAKE FOREVER TO MAKE unless I can get some help, guys!

Enjoy!

POKéMON: MEWTWO STRIKES BACK
Made in RPG MAKER XP with POCCIL'S STARTER KIT

Alright. Finally getting this third and hopefully final thread up for the game re-make of the first movie.

Mewtwo Strikes Back (MSB) already has it's reputation. As well it should, it started as a hack last year, and only for a short while have we been developing it on RPG Maker instead. There are major reasons why I chose to switch. Here are a few:

- More features, such as dynamic cutscenes similar to the 'Oak Intro'
- Easier Mapping
- Easier for the spriters(when it comes to color palletes)
- Easier for me to do things myself, without relying on people to script for me
- Overall looks better than the hack ever did

We are using Poccil's starter kit, as well as some Kyledove tiles; many of which may be temporary, if we get newer tiles.

Unlike with the hack, I'm not sure when there will be a release. Many people are already stealing our sprites from the GBA game without crediting or asking, and we ask that you do not use them at all.

Until I can find a way to package the game up so the files and folders are all meshed together, there won't be an available Alpha demo.



There is, however, video on my youtube channel:

Let's hope this goes well, hmm?




You start off with a a team of four Pokemon already, including Bulbasaur, Squirtle, Pikachu, and Charizard (different than the hack). Your first enemy in-game is the same as a movie, a PKMN Trainer called "Raymond" , who has a Donphan and Machamp, as well as others.

After you defeat him, you must talk to the Dragonite messenger. He will invite you to meet the greatest POKéMON Master, and fly off. Brock and Misty head East to the Old Shore Wharf to meet you for the ferry.

Once you get there, you must rush inside the FERRY HOUSE to get in from a storm. Officer Jenny and Miranda, the owner of the Ferry house, tell everyone there who had wanted a trip on the ferry to NEW ISLAND that the storm was too strong, and nobody would be able to go. Three trainers, Corey, Neesha, and Fergus go on ahead anyways.

The team heads out anyways, and gets on a ship with some vikings.

The rest, my friends, is in the movie.

I remeber this hack in the hack section and i would always check to see how you were doing. But then it disapeered cuz i didnt check in a while and voila! here it is. This looks amazing and your brainwashed nurse joy sprite looks phonemonal(prolly spelt that wrong) I loved this movie when i was little and this brought back memories. Good luck and i hope you make it till the end.

[PokemonOI]

This looks interesting. I'll be looking at this more often.

[<~F.M.P~>]

Wow contrats on getting this in Showcase Meowth. It's looking better then the first time I saw it and I hope you keep it going. Good luck dude.

Thanks. I made that Joy sprite from scratch ;D Sampled colors from a DP sprite for skin color, and an in-movie screenshot for clothes colors.

Of course! :D And you helped me with that other problem... haha. Thanks for that. ;D

[! AvatarKris !]

Hooray !!!

I made the Ash OW ... i'm so proud of that little guy ...


BTW Meowth nice work with the game it's coming along nicely and Nice Thread !!!

[Twilite Darkrai]

Wow, dude! You know what I think of your game!
It is awesome!
It has features that in ROM Hacking couldn't be done.
I wish you the best!
I really like how it is going, and if you need help be sure to talk me. =3
see ya!

[Meowth]

Lol Kris... It's like, almost the same thread as the Hacks Showcase. I suck at coding so I used that same layout... (And we both made that OW, you made the original for the hack, I modified this one lol)

EDIT: Thanks Erick!

[ryushin5]

Cool I remember this in the hack section, I didn't know you were making a game version of it nice; Can't wait to see more.

sure thing. Mapping Old Shore Wharf at the moment

[Jake♫]

Well, seeing as I followed this like crazy when it was a hack (Oh, and my enthusiasm showed, and don't you forget it XD), I'm definitely more excited now! The intro is fantastic, scripting is wondrous, and I love the Mewtwo part at the beginning! God, I'm loving it XD Only thing is that both Raymond and Dan say the same thing. I'm not sure if that is intended or not

[Meowth]

Yeah that was a rushed glitch... haha. Didn't change my cameo's text yet. In fact, he's not staying in that spot either...

[rocketsfan]

cool game i'll try it on a different comp later

[KostK2Boss]

It has been an RPG for less than a month and still, it already looks better than the hack. Fantastic improvement! By the way, I couldn't help but laugh with the fact that the first thing you see opening the game is Dr. Fuji's unbelivable hairstyle!

Lol.. the actual game isnt available yet, those are the old versions of the hack to hold people off.

Yeah. I got that downpat xDD

thanks!

[Semblance]

Nice to see MSB is back! I guess RMXP suits the game better than the rom based one.

[Meowth]

Indeed it does. Much easier to do things in RMXP. A million thanks to Poccil.

Some of the things I will need would be:

- Someone who can add the move animations to attacks
- Spriters
- Tilers

We currently do not need Beta Testers...

[~PokeJosh~]

Wow...this is...actually pretty amazing.

The 10 minute preview actually seemed like it was a preview of a new pokemon game, and got me excited about it. This is one of the two genres of fangames that I actually like, A game that is based upon another game or in this case, a movie. As long as it is good quality, of course. And this definitely is. Good job on this, I also watched the movie of your old hack, and I was impressed with that, but I think you will be able to go a lot further in customization with RMXP. I can't wait to see the finished product, and let's see some updates on this soon.

-PokeJosh

PS: I might be able to help on this, but I am a little busy with another project. It would be cool though.

[Meowth]

Thanks Josh.

I'm going to add some screenshots from the official website in here for reference in the future for our spriters and tilers.

[Evilpkmn]

I really like this project !
I've juste played the hack and it was....(I don't know what, It was so good)

[Meowth]

there are major differences between this and the hack... but I'm glad you enjoyed that!

[sonic smash down]

Asome Meowth, glad to hear your making it into an rmxp format. it looks really great so far. the graphics look even better in dimond and pearl format.
just watched the youtube vid. and it looks great to. ill keep my eyes on this project definitely, oh and wat happened to the hacked version of it?

[Meowth]

The hack was put off, couldn't do as much as we can in RMXP

[Evilpkmn]

For sure , it looks better in RMXP .
