[Hack of the Year 2007] Pokémon Prism [Summer 2010 Beta - Download now available!]

[Fire Wolf]

Quick question, Coolboyman, how does Riolu evolve? Happiness in daytime right?

[Heart's Soul]

All right then, I'm e-mailing it to you in a very clear manner. Thank god I remember it. Either way, I was tired then and couldn't read the README properly.

When does the beta end?

[Fire Wolf]

It ends after you defeat the Torenia City Gym as far as I know, though there might be some minigames left.

[Taichi]

Wow, this game is amazing. The $5000 game is kind of easy (If you get it tou your liking.) and can get you really rich.

[Heart's Soul]

Thanks. I tried Blackjack, it makes NO sense for some reason. Ugh.

Either way, hope you get your degree and hope you finish this! With a full-working team of... one... this can get finished really quickly! Either way, the game is near perfection, I had a dream about some kind of loser Axem Rangers... yeah, it's the 6 Pallets.

EDIT: Does anyone have the soundtrack?

[Taichi]

Geez, how many stones does it take to make a ring? lol I got five Dawn Stones, Two Leafs, One Water, and One Fire. Also do we get only one shiny ball from the $5000 game? Because I beat that thing 6 times and got the shiny ball the first time and 3 nuggets for the rest. Not complaining, just curious.

Love this hack.

Love this hack.

You need ash, which can be obtained from mining.

Anyone know a good tip to get cash easy? I've lost 16,000P on the Pachisi game, and I have to face the 4th Gym Leader and there are no more trainers, to my knowledge.

There are a few things I would like to point out about this beta release of Prism that kinda irked me a little.

-Currently, the Dawn Stone is an unuseable item. Its description is the same as the Squirtbottle from GSC and it does not have a use option. The only options are give, toss, and exit.

-I want to evolve my Lombre into Ludicolo, but the Water Stone won't work on it. It was said that Lombre couldn't use the Water Stone.

-I am assuming this one will be solved later, but the cries of the 3rd and 4th gen pokemon are the same as some of the 1st and 2nd gen pokemon they replace.

-Whenever my Riolu uses Counter, it plays the Bubblebeam animation. I don't know if it is with any pokemon that uses counter, but Riolu's counter animation is Bubblebeam

-When you face your rival the second time, his overworld sprite is red instead of the purple color from the first battle with him.

-When you take a mine cart to Magma Caverns and then go into the cave door, you pop up at Acqua Caverns. (Incomplete area?)

-I wanted to do some trading between my 1st Brown runthrough and my current Prism runthrough, but Everything in that Communication room is "being adjusted." Is this intentional?

Other than this, there really aren't any things I can pick out at this time. This release of Prism was incredible. I have waited so long for this release and it blew my mind away. Thank you so much for this release and I hope that you continue to do amazing things to Brown and Prism.

One quick question though, will we see legendaries from the 3rd and 4th gen? If you don't want to spoil anything, don't.

To get cash easy play the Pachisi game. I got a crap load of money by winning it the for the sixth time. You get 3 nuggets when you win and if you get on the money spots, you...well get money. 3 nuggets= 15000 + whatever amount you get from the money spots. You get your moneys worth on this game.

Getting money is very easy in the Pachisi game if you press (or should I say 'click') the right button.

Spoiler:

And 'save' in the right spot.

Please email me glitches like the readme.txt says.

And there's a legendary available in this current beta, but just really hard to find. It's also one you won't expect.

Lombre evolves at lvl 24 if i remember correctly.

[Heart's Soul]

1. Still looking for a public version of the soundtrack, if any exists.
2. The last three screens aren't in the beta, I have NO idea where they fit.
3. Legendary? I'm going with a wild guess as Rotom.
4. Where do you get Flash, Strength, and whatever the 4th Gym Leader tells you that you could use? (To my guess, it's Surf)

[Kenpokid]

Yikes, this is quite a bit darker than most Pokémon games... Interesting turn. I like the game.

[Roareye]

No bugs this time, just a small idea.

I've noticed that item balls in the game are colored randomly. This made me think - why not make a decent use of it? Like this, for example:

1) You could set a different ball color for each different item group (like, you see a red ball on the ground - you know it's a pokemon/a pokeball item. You see a green one - you know it's a usable item. You see a blue one - It's a TM or a HM. You see a brown one - it's an important/key item... etc.) This would be an interesting touch to the game, though i suppose it would require some work on that to set the colors of the item balls already in game. [or up to the part where you finished your actual work on the next beta, if that's the case.]

OR

2) Item balls could be colored by quanity. Like, you see a single item - it's red. You see a green one - hey, there are two items in it! [inspired by double repel], you see a blue one - 3 or more, yellow one - 5 or more, etc...

Tell me what you think about it. It's nothing major, but it surely would make the game better in that "Those small things which make the life beautiful" way. Just an idea, though.

Ok, I keep seeing a Swellow that plays legendary music. Is that it? Because I am really confused when I hear the music and then see a Swellow...

No that's just my fault. I'll fix it. There's a real legendary somewhere.

[TobiSenpai]

Would that legendary happen to appear in Aqua or Magma caverns? I'm not sure if it is a glitch or not, but when I go further into Magma cavern, I appear in Aqua cavern, (Which looks like the place we started out at) and when I try to go back, it is the place we started out at... I really wanna find that legendary, so is it or is it not located in either cavern??

[zdude0127]

I'm pretty sure he wants us to find the thing ourselves.

Yeah, happened to me also! I tried so hard to catch it because "THE LEGENDARY MUSIC TOLD ME TOO!" lol

[Melash]

Well, I am currently playing this game. I'm only at Mound Cave right now, with four sticks of dynamite. This hack has been amazing so far. I'll post my likes and dislikes of the game when I complete it.

[pokemonlover493]

I am going to feel stupid after saying this, but if Coolboyman is saying that it is a legendary you won't expect, I have a feeling that he means that it is a 5th generation legendary, probably Zoroark.

[Master Terrador]

Well crap, I guess I'll search obviously complex areas first (like mound cave) and then places I would not expect at all (like the fish cave)...

Could you give a very subtle hint as to what kind of area its located?

[Melash]

Hmm...I'm completely stuck right now. I've been searching Mound Cave for quite some time looking for the last Pallet Patroller (or whatever their name is), the Yellow One, I believe, and I've been unable to find them anywhere. Could anyone offer me some help?

Try the top floor, top-left, I think it was.

Hmm. I've been searching the two floors with the rest of the people were for an eternity, and no luck.
