POKEMON Orange Island Adventures

[pokemonforever27]

INTRODUCTION
After the failure of the hack (and poorly recieved), I decided I needed
something more powerful, a computer game. Thus, this project was born.
The game VERY loosely follows the anime through the ORANGE ISLANDS.
There is also some of my own stuff thrown in to handle portions
that the anime did not clearly explain.

Coded in: RPG Maker XP

STORY
After beating the INDIGO LEAGUE quite some time ago, PROFESSOR OAK asks
you to go to the ORANGE ISLANDS and get the GS BALL from PROFESSOR IVY.
He also mentions there as an ORANGE LEAGUE you should compete in.

On top of that, after OAK asks you to go to JOHTO, you discover TEAM
ROCKET is at it again. This time, in ECRUTEAK CITY. Though it isn't clear
what they're up to, it can't be good.

As if that isn't enough, something has upset the BALANCE OF POWER, and
it's coming from around SHAMOUTI ISLAND.

FEATURES
- Starter: ESPEON
- Explore four regions: KANTO, ORANGE, JOHTO, REEMAN ISLAND
- New "LUGIA" menu system (later in game): replaced with better ideas and easier interface
- Voices from "The Power Of One"
- Music from the original motion picture "The Power Of One"
- Catch all POKEMON, plus some new FAKEMON (3)
- New attacks
- Hidden BLACK MARKET to buy hard to find items
- Stronger legendaries
- Over sixty hours of gameplay (assumes that you catch all POKEMON)
- Running inside
- CINNABAR ISLAND glitches
- Many more

SCREENSHOTS

Spoiler:

BUGS/GLITCHES/ETC

- If you lose on top of NAVAL ISLAND MOUNTAIN, for some reason you go back to
SUNBURST ISLAND, with no way to get back.
- If you lose to a trainer battle, you get warped to seemingly random places.
I can't find the problem in script or event, so for now just save often and
reset if you lose.

PROGRESS - GAME FINISHED!

Before switching from the demo to the full version, make sure that you got passed KURT in AZAELA TOWN, or you will have to start a new game. If you need to start a new game, just download the full version, and start from there. If you got passed KURT, make sure your screen size is 480X320 because you won't be able to change it in the full version. Then, download the game and copy and paste the save file (game.rxdata) to the new folder. You can then delete the demo folder. If you didn't play the demo, none of this applies. Simply download the game and get started!

Make sure that you read the README.PDF to understand how FLY works. If you have any questions feel free to post here or PM me. Using FLY will allow you to get to the TRAINING HALL on TANGELO ISLAND practically anytime. If you are under level, it is a great place to work.

Interesting.Oh the first screenshot, you have some buildings from Gen2 mixed with graphics from Gen3, are thoes just placeholder or is it going to be like that. It looks odd.

[pokemonforever27]

The original plan was to have just like the screenshot, but the longer I look at it, the less I like the generation 3 MART, so I will probably end up changing it. The POKeCENTER and the GYM are FR/LG buildings, so they look different too, but in Generation 3 and up, they looked significantly different anyway. I probably will change the MART though.

I'm, pretty sure he was talking about the Goldenrod buildings...lol.

[Ben.]

A rival, then?
I'm also making a Orange Island game.
Well, I was expecting more than a mix of tiles D;
I wish you luck.

I was, too! The building in question is the one in the first screenshot (the purple building). I'm not entirely sure what I'm going to replace it with yet, but it will definately change!

but its all the OTHER ones in that screenshot that need to be replaced o_o;;;

[pokemonforever27]

I have uploaded two new screenshots for the full releaase version. More will come as I make progress.

I'm trying to update the percentages everytime I work so that everyone knows the project is being worked on.

Until then, enjoy the demo!

[DialgaPalkiaGiratina]

:O Da Starer is Espeon!! Yay! :3 Seems cool. But you really need to fix Goldenrod City! It's got The Evil Gen Mix-Up Virus! D:

I'm going to play around with some ideas. I like the look of the retro buildings, but at the same time I see the problem with the generations. It might end up being a custom project.

Thanks. I'll probably do that and add some roads/streets through the city. I was thinking it looked kinda bland!

The transition when you walk in or out a building looks not smooth enough the same at the stairs. It would look probably better if you use this:
@> Change skreen color tone: (-255,-255,-255,0) @6
@> Wait: 8 frames
@> Transfer player: [the spot where the door is], Down
@> Set move route: Player
: :$>Move Down
@> Change skreen color tone: (0,0,0,0) @6

this makes it look like he walks out the door not appears directly before it.

There are many things not done in the demo, and one of them is details (in every sense of the word). I'm not exactly sure how I want to do it yet, but I'm going to make custom door animations. It will probably be one of the last things I do, though.

Thanks for playing the demo.

Looks good, Hope all goes well with this project.

Hi!
im downloading the demo,
i love orange islands!
if you update the tiles and sprites
to the 4th gen,I let you use my Misty overworld
in deviantart,i put a watermark on it,so,if you needed,
just pm me
EDIT
just played the demo.
I liked how in the forest,the battle bg is from the anime,
you should do it in all types of field
Change gba to ds tiles and overworlds,battle,etc
The battle is kinda strange,I think the battle animation
should be inproved.
i think all the music should be from the game :3
Oh,for surfing lapras,use the special overworlds from
HG/SS,look for it in spriters resource,i cant post link

[pokemonforever27]

There are many graphics improvements coming in the final version, some of which mistakingly got cut from the demo. However, the tiles will reamain GBA tilesets. Sorry.

The music may or may not change. I'm having trouble getting what I want to happen working.

Thanks for playing the demo.

Try redownloading it. When I got that message on some demos, I redownloaded them and it cleared right up.

[Mezoka]

This game is coming along quite nicely, should it be moved to the showcase section? I wonder...

[pokemonforever27]

Thank you for the support, Mezoka.

[pokemonforever27]

Happy new year everyone! Four new screenshots are up, and progress is coming along nicely. I'm hoping to have the game itself (not testing) completed by the end of January, and the full version released by the end of March. I still have two more badges to work through, the CHAMPION, and REEMAN ISLAND. Still plenty to do!

[superanthony182]

nice looking good. why do u start with espeon though? other than that looks like a good game

[jme-ulgamoth]

So, do I use a ROM for this or can I play it straight up? Because when I play it straight up I get an "MFPlat.DLL" error on my computer every time I enter and exit a building, new area or a battle. I tried reinstalling the game, but not the whole rar file itself. What do I do?

Huh? This place has nothing to do with ROM's what so ever hence the forum description. All you have to do is run the .exe file provided of the game and it should work perfectly fine, unless of course the creator has caused an error.

[jme-ulgamoth]

No, I got it now. It was my computer. It didnt have that program that the error was listing, now I do. Its all great now and im def enjoying the game!
