If Aerodactyl and them were prehistoric Pokemon, why shouldn't they?

[Blazers]

Prehistoric brought back by fossil.
Maybe he can have you encounter omystars and kabutos and stuff

[EJames2100]

Depends how the Pokémon world sees as Prehistoric lol

But a good point actually, would we be seeing more new ancient Pokémon ?

[lx_theo]

Well nothing new, the first post say no Fakemon

[Atomic Reactor]

i knew i should have clarified. lol.
I meant at the beggining that they wouldnt mesh well with your current tiles, and at the end i meant just stick with one of their styles.
get it now???

And for the pokiemon, why not edit them so they look like earlier versions of them. Like make a darker orange charizard, with a middle horn thing.
And put like 2 smaller trees on venasuar? just minor edits liek that would be neat.

Moose you seem to make the biggest things out of nothing, all the time.
You like to start fights i noticed, as well as other people.
Tell me again, why is the game posted on the site?
"oh blazers i don't know, so people can look at it?" Wrong
Some people will like it, some people wont.
But most importantly you have to see that people are trying to help you.
I don't know if you are sure of the meaning of, Critiscm.
But look it up some time.


As for this game.
I also do not like the default style of the tiles.
But since you already did begin the game this way, considering how far into it you are, it would take a lot of time to re-do it.
So if your that far, keep it.
So no poke balls? Will there be a craftsmaker like Kurt that will turn them into poke balls for you, or will you do it yourself?

The Kurt thing is in the works. That's all I will say for now.

(and no, i dont mean kyledoves, i agree that their overused) Perhaps try and look for some different games that have a rustic, yet easy to imitate style. That way you don;t use the default tile, but their still different. Maybe start ripping from mystery dungeon and ranger?

We wouldn't just slap on tiles from other games. We would tweak them to match the visual style.

Yeah, not much has changed in 600 years. Remember, this is 600, not 6,000,000.

Fossil resurrection technology has not been invented yet, so no fossil Pokémon.

Earlier versions? We've considered it, but the Pokémon won't look that much different because 600 years isn't that far back in the evolutionary line.

*sigh*...
1. Because this game takes place so far back in time, we're trying to create the feel of a classical RPG while still retaining the qualities of a Pokémon game. I think fangame developers are too fixated on the graphics of the Version games to try different aesthetic and gameplay styles. Pokémon Ranger and Mystery Dungeon games turned the ideas of traditional Pokémon games on their heads. Is that a bad thing? Of course not! I actually had more fun with the Ranger and Mystery Dungeon games than I did with the Version games, and I'm sure I'm not the only one. There's no doubt that we're going to attract a different audience than most of the other fangames in this forum.
2. Two different graphics styles? That would be a colossal waste of labor and time. We're only two people (the staff will continue to stay relatively small into the future) and the game is pretty small in scope, so we don't want to create too much work for ourselves.
3. Why Kyledove tileset? The vast majority of game developers in this forum think that's the only acceptable visual style that can ever be used in a Pokémon game.


Calm down,I'm just sharing my opinion.Kyledove dose, in fact ,have a tile set focusing on ancient towns.Making two versions wouldn't be that hard,you just have to switch the tile set in the second version and proceed to map touch-up.Also,retaining the feel of a Pokemon game isn't easy to do when the graphics belong to the Final Fantasy style.

Don't worry.I'm not bashing you're game.I do respect it.Some people might actually like it.Just please make sure you finish the project.Most projects are completely left behind only to make fans angry.

Yeah, I was part of a game where that happened very recently. This is why I would like to stay with the project until completion. It doesn't try to be all-inclusive (one region plus a few locations from neighboring Johto and Holon with 200 Pokémon isn't that big of a project), so I can promise you it will be finished. It will probably take about 2-3 years. We will not let it go longer than that. In the meantime, there will be constant updates and demos released every couple months so you will always be in the know.

Anyway, enough about the graphics. No matter what, we're keeping this style with minor tweaks and more custom and ripped tiles modified to fit the style. That is final and I don't want any more suggestions or arguments about it.

Understood.I also am working on a project with just me and my cousin,so I know how troublesome it can be to finally release the project.Mine has been going on for about three years now.The first year was terrible.Making several maps then,all of a sudden,my PC crashed and we lost every bit of it.But we restarted the project and the maps look even better than before.Now the story line and making trainers is all that's left.For our first project,I hope it works out.Good luck with your game.

That sux about losing your work but always look for the silver lining. I am making regular backups every weekend and after any substantial improvement ie my recent Poképad update. Making trainers are probably the most boring thing about creating a Pokémon game. It took me a few of days to put the small number of trainers that you encounter. I wanted to have more in indigo town but I was losing the will to live so left them out.

I loveee this game, and I think the graphics are very original and quite amazing contrary to popular belief. Not every Pokemon game has to have the same graphics.
Also, I had a bit of deja vu when seeing your whole wild pokemon idea. Years ago, I'd thought "It would be so much easier if you could actually see the pokemon in the wild." Kudos for that.

However, I did get a scripting error that shut down the game when speaking to a trainer in the Viridian Forest. I can't remember which one, though. :\

[Wings Don't Cry]

I gotta say the graphics look really similar to Aveyond 2. Even the victory music is the same and the way you encounter enemies.

Several people have reported that error. I'm not sure if Trikeboy has fixed it or not, but I will look into it when I have some free time.

I think that's because we're still using mostly RMXP default content. It'll change, don't worry.

I have checked through Viridian Forest and cant find the error. Are you using version 1.2? There was an error in a trainer code that I fixed for that version.

[Pika Storm]

this game looks awsome \m/

I for one think that the tileset looks great

keep up the good work

[1ninjadude1701]
