What you do if you see this error:

MSVCR71.dll is missing
download the dll here: http://www.dll-files.com/dllindex/dl....shtml?msvcr71
put it in C:\Windows\System32.

The game is still being developed, I always wanted to do something related to the pokémon series so I decided to make this game.
It is a 3D game with 2D graphics, the city was modeled and texturized to have an isometrical look.

Pokémon Tactics is set only in a new large town of Sinnoh and the story is based in the Diamond, Pearl and Platinum games. You will be able to access PokeCenter, PokeMart, houses, buildings and other areas through mini-menus. You cannot leave the city until you win tickets for boats. There are three boats for different locations. It means after going battle in mini-maps you will always return to the big city. Earn rewards for helping people, hunting and researching pokémons. In Pokémon Tactics you can use more than just two pokémons in a battle, up to 10 at the same time, except in other modes where you will be able to use 6 or 3. Your pokémon skills are no longer limited. it does not need to forget a move to learn a new one, you can level up its moves to its maximum, but you can set only 4 moves for battles. Plus, items can be holded by a pokémon to boost its stats. Planning your tactics is an essential part of the game.

I hope my game-play description is good enough '=)

I approved this thread because it clearly shows you have done work on this project. But your thread does not meet the guidelines of this section.

Add in everything that is needed for the thread (like the introduction and the plot) for your thread to stay open.

Thread Requirements

These requirements apply strictly to threads posted in the Games Showcase.

• Program/language developed in.
  You must specify which program and/or language you have developed the game in. You can do this by using the thread prefixes.
• Introduce your game.
  A concise introduction of your game.
  Do not mistake this for plot! They are not the same!
• The plot.
  The story must be at least two paragraphs, this means more than ten lines of text.
  This requirement is for the finished post and not how it appears in the editor!
• The visuals.
  You must provide at least four in-game screenshots (exceptions may be made if video is included instead).
  Title / game over screenshots are not counted!

OMG, you really hit the nail on the head with those screens, those are the best isometric screens I've ever seen for a pokemon fangame!

Where is the download link

[Birdybot]

Efecan13, it isn't finished yet.

This is just... wow. Mind-blowing. It's more than just isometric, it's... 3D. You must be one amazing scripter. How long has it taken you to manage that?

[The Dewitty]

That is truly awesome, my friend. Very revolutionary in the game development.

[Zerro]

It's great to come back to PC and have the first thing I see be this. Bravo.

[Spira]

Pretty cool take on Pokemon. The resources are pretty top notch with the graphics being clear. However, isn't the word you are looking for "Tactics" not Tatics?

it took me four weeks to get there.

thank you for your replies!
Please ask me things related to the game so that I can update the topic since I am not good with introductions. =)

[Atomic Reactor]

Wow this looks great! I can't wait to see some more isometric graphics.
This reminds me of Legends, that was iso too.
Hope you can pull it off ;)

I have to say, your the first person I have seen do this. I always wanted a pokemon game like this and I thought I would never see the day when someone would make this possible. The only thing I dislike is the tiles but that's not a huge issue, keep up the good work i'll defiantly keep an eye on this.

[Spikey-Eared Pichu]

I saw those screenshots and my mouth dropped. Good show! I cannot wait for this to be completed. One question, does this game have a set plot or...?

[Zerro]

You could start by explaining the main game-play mechanic.

[HeavyOctillery]

O_O SWEET MOTHER OF.......

First, darthvagabond raises the standards of sprites, and now you've raised those for tiles. You're off to one hell of a start.



You really should add the plotline to the intro post - unless you haven't ironed that out yet.


EDIT: Now that I've looked at the last couple of screenshots, it's clear that you've definitely made changes to the battle system; you should definitely elaborate on that while you're at it.

[Wichu]

As nice as the tiles look, there's a few things I don't like about them - for one, their blurriness. Isn't there an option in your 3D engine to disable smoothing on textures? Even if you don't choose to do that, at least make the camera position such that the player's sprite isn't blurred... Secondly, most of them are just FR/LG tiles textured onto 3D models. Your resolution is bigger than FR/LGs, making the tiles look bad. If you make your own larger tiles (or use more Ranger tiles), it will make it look better. Note how the pier looks much better than the main area because of the Ranger tiles.

I can't really tell because of the isometric-ness, but is there a perspective effect like in D/P (where the objects at the back are slightly smaller, and you can see the sides of buildings as you walk next to them)? If you're using a 3D engine, you should consider doing that.

[blendaz]

It lookz awesome!
I really hope you finish this game :]

The iso graphics are amazingly done. Good luck with this!!!

[Andinator]

i like the screenshots, i really do. only thing that seems wierd with the tiles is that some of them have outlines and some of them don't. If your gonna go for a 3D effect, then none of them should have it. But if your going for a traditional look, I advise you give them all an outline. just remember to keep it consistent

[rockeymon]

Wow amazing, This is one of the top Pokemon games I have seen xD

[Spikey-Eared Pichu]

After reading the Game Play section, there's one series of games which I am pretty sure inspired this game: Disgaea. I love the Disgaea series and its unique battle system and now I'm 10000x more excited to play this! You have my full support on this project =)

[dark adonis]

Yes, disgaea inspired this game and I love the series too.

thank you all for your replies and opinions, I'm taking notes. =)

I thought I could release a demo until the christmas and presenting you with that but it will not be possible,
I'm working in the bag and pokémon systems. It will be different from the original pokémon games as well.

I enjoy doing this game, I am glad you like it.
Merry christmas!!

[Spikey-Eared Pichu]

I was right =D lol! Merry Christmas to you too.

So, how exactly do you go about obtaining Pokemon? Will it be a similar system to Disgaea, creating Pokemon in some way and then their evolutions once requirements are met? Or will it be the same Pokeball-capture system?

I have my own idea on how it can be done, if ya want to hear it?

[dark adonis]

it will be the pokéball-capture system, yes I would like to hear what you have in mind, send me a pm if you want, idealists are welcome =)

plus, the breeding system will be similar to reincarnation of disgaea. By breeding a new pokémon will be make with several benefits inherited from its parents such as faster level up, base stats, condition, weakness and resistance and more.

[Route]

Nice game! It looks amazing! This is one of the best games I've seen.

[dark adonis]

the bag screen, items can be combined for level up, for instance, the potion in level 5 will restore 55 hit points if you use it to heal your pokémon, otherwise if your pokémon held the potion lvl 1, it will increase 11 hit points and will decrease 19 speed, plus a boost of 4% in hit points. If you use the potion after equipping with a pokémon, the stats are lost.

hope you like the new system and the screen. It took me 2 days to build everything. =)

[Poeman]

The bag looks amazing!
