The egg shop won't come for awhile. It's going in the Isle of Grenz, which won't come for another couple of betas... It's the seventh city, I think. The Isle of Grenz is an island where there seems to be an abundance of pokemon eggs and baby pokemon. (This is also the place where the Shiny Absol parent sidequest takes place.)

In other news, I thought it would be cool to submit my hack as a "second chance" in the Hack of the Week thread to see if The Tempest could win the award over the next month.

Hello one and all. Here is a gathering of screenshots to show SOME of the new aspects of the next beta release, which will be released in the next week or two.

Spoiler:

I am planning on posting a video demonstrating how the EV Sector works tomorrrow, so be sure to check back for that! It's quite nifty, if I do say so myself. Note that I will update all of the screenshots in the first post to match the current graphics in the near future. Oh, and I'm purposely not showing the gym leaders' new sprites or the battle backsprite animation of the hero until the beta release.

Read this post to see the features of the EV Training Sector: FEATURES

And there was much rejoicing...

These look really good!
*Looks at first page for beta*
I can't play it.. I patched it on, and then once I name my Rival and Me, I shrink and then the screen goes black.

Hai...i like the battle bar and the text box...how did you changed it???

I don't know what went wrong, but you are the only person that it hasn't worked for. Try re-patching it maybe?

Thanks, I searched for the specific pallet in a hex editor and simply replaced the colors.


Here is the video I promised 4 posts ago that shows off the EV Training Sector!



As always, please leave your comments/critiques!

[DavidChristopher,]

Haha, heey!
Remember me from yt?
:D
Anyways, I finally found this, but you should really post it on your youtube page as well.
It was confusing to find, for a simple mind like me at least. -.-

WELL, I downloaded Beta 1.2 and i will update this post, as soon as i'm done playing it!

Edit: Well I just entered Rija City, and i'm currently in the middle of a fight with the tempest duo,
but i'd just like to point out theyre still called "Team Rocket" and still have the team rocker sprite in battle, just fyi. :p
Also, the trees at the entrance of the Rija City pokemon center's inside, are both able to be walked through.

EDITEDIT:
I tried restoring my pokemons hp, when my colour of my player changed, and i could only walk a few steps in each direction till it gave me the "bumping" noise like i was running into a wall, but i wasnt. :/
Anyways, it froze, so you know. -__________- fail.

I'm glad you found it! I probably should have warned you about the Rija City Pokemon Center glitch... If you open the menu in that building, the hero gets possessed! Anyway, all of those bugs you mentioned are fixed for the next release, but I haven't released beta 2.0 yet.

I think D/P pokemon in this game would be great!! Just tried out the beta lol it's awesome!! Love the story

Leafeon will be added for sure, and possibly Glaceon. I can't think of a good way for Eevee to evolve into Glaceon, though.

I have added so many new things to the next beta release, and I'm really excited to show them to everybody!

Here's some things I've added/changed about beta 1.2 that will be released in beta 2.0:

- New Message Boxes
- New Rival, Gym Trainer, and Hero sprites
- New "Oak Intro"
- Changed the first rival battle to the tutorial-type battle
- Added a guy who teaches you to catch Pokemon (Old Man script, but not a weedle)
- Mystery Girl is introduced long before Trayne Village
- Fixed ALL KNOWN BUGS including the Rija Pokemon Center Glitch and the infinite Quick Claw bug
- Fixed ALL KNOWN TYPOS
- Fixed Elsie's Gym Garden so that Heracross doesn't appear about 50% of the time (there was a mistake in my script)

If I think of more, I'll add them here.

Great, I'm so looking forward to beta 2.0 ! :3
I'll be keeping an eye on your youtube channel!

Hey I think that you should get something for the tutorial of guy catching pokemon... maybe he'll give you a pokeball for sitting through it? Cause most of us know how to catch pokemon... it's been so long.

Or you can make that a separate event, the tutorial fails (he does not catch it) and it tries to attack him, so you go in front and battle the trainer.

And about the Glaceon evolving... I don't know how you'd feel about this but you can make it the Everstone. The everstone is meant to prevent pokemon from evolving, unless you give it to Eevee

Just make Nevermeltice an usable item instead of hold item, use it on Eevee, and puff, you get a Gleceon!
PS: I love the whole EV training area! Awesome idea, hope it really works...

[Tomackze]

^Even better... forgot about nevermeltice

The guy who shows you how to catch pokemon does indeed reward you for sitting through it.

I'll consider this. However, I'm not going to make Leafeon and Glaceon in the game until beta 3.0, I think. And the EV training area really works. However, it's usefulness will increase the further into the game you are. It's not the most useful thing in the upcoming beta 2.0 release simply because the beta ends in the same city that it's in.


I'm going to do a playthrough of beta 2.0 and completely overhaul the screenshots on the first post. Also, I think I'm going to contact someone about a CSS layout for the thread Beta 2.0 will be released once all of the sprites in the Progress section on the first post are finished and inserted.

Nevermind! I made my own CSS layout! Does it look good?

[thia12]

This looks awesome Icy. I haven't honestly tried a beta yet due to school and other commitments, but should get to it in the next beta!

Good luck

Thanks! And it's good to hear from you, thia!

I also want to let people know that the Screenshots section is completely fresh with no old graphics and new screenshots on the first post! I think I'm going to make a section that shows all the new sprites in the game, too, later on today. Beta 2.0 is so close, I can almost taste it!

[icychill66]

I added a "Character Bios" section to the first post. You guys should read up on some of the characters in the hack to see what you're up against!

[Snakebyte]

I was going to give this a go now, but on reading that the next beta is coming so soon, I think I'll wait until I get back from my vacation. It looks great so far, though!

Also, PS, it's spelled 'determination', not 'detirmination'.

Yes, definitely wait until beta 2.0 come out!

grrr...typos....

[Snakebyte]

Will do! I'll look for it when I get back later this week. Well... next week, technically... You know what I mean. v.v'

[Saikusu]

Dude, NICE WORK. I only just started playing and i am already highly impressed in the conversation's and battle interface etc. also, all the features you are adding sound incredible.

[Sapeiro]

Just downloaded the 1.2 beta, and trying it. This seems like it's going to be pretty good. I'm actually pretty excited to see the finished thing, though I know we won't for a long time =P

Skimming the thread, I read something about fakemon... Just pointing out that that'd be a major turnoff xD

I hope both of you know that beta 2.0 will be coming out within the next 10 days. Just a heads up, beta 1.2 is not nearly as good as beta 2.0 is.

Also, the fakemon that will most likely be put in will just be pre-evo's or evo's. For example, a pre-evo of Absol is one that for sure will be put in. I have amazing spriters helping me, so they will be impressive to look at.
