Oh I like this, it's fun and plays quite well.

Just a couple of niggles:

At one point during Gent Forest my Marril got stuck in a tree (couldn't move) it was ok though since I had an escape rope.

Secondly during my gym battle with Nincada I managed to get myself into a position where Nincada just stood there while I shot bubbles at it. It did nothing...

They're just fairly small things though, it's refreshing to see a different kind of pokemon fan game being made.

Thankyou for pointing these out!

I am aware of the getting stuck issue.. I'm not entirely sure how to fix that one so, as you said, you can always use the escape rope lol. I'll take another look at the coding and see if I can get it to work better and I'll also remove the sniping spot for Nincada .

A side scroller? Nice! If I were to give any suggestions, I would suggest that you add a feature that lists multiple skills like in MapleStory, like a list of skills that you gain while you level, and AP that you can apply on that skill to make it stronger, ex. Bubble after Lv 5, and you can apply more AP to make it stronger, then access Bubblebeam after Lv 30 or so (you will know what I meant if you played it before).

I'm going to be honest though, I just looked at your screenshot, so if all of the things I said was total junk, you'll know why

Haha. Yeah, I've not played Maplestory in like 2 years (quit when I got to lvl 200) but I remember how the skill system worked. I'll play around and see what works best but that does sound like quite a good way to do it. Thanks for your suggestion!

When your bubbles level up,can they stay leveled up?Thanks.

What exactly do you mean by that? Do you mean that if I were to use the Maplestory SP system as was previously suggested, that when you level up your "skill" or "attack" and unlock new ones the old ones stay at their level?

First time I saw the game in Version 2.0.2, I was so satisfied!!! The maps, everything was great for an early-in-progress game.

But now, that you deleted the overworld RPG-part Engine, made the ingame feeling ... some kind of strange. In my opinion the RPG Overworld was the greatest (written in GM!).
Will you let it deleted?

Anyway, regards to a great game!

Thanks!

The initial feed-back was that the overworld RPG part and the platform part didn't necessarily fit together quite right. Hopefully missing it out won't affect the game's appeal too much and I'm glad to hear you enjoyed it . If there is a huge demand for me to bring it back then I suppose I could do that but I quite like the way it is at the moment -- maybe if I tweak it a bit more I can get the new system to feel more natural.

Thankyou I really appreciate that.

If you're making your own Pokemon game and want a map like mine I could make one for you if you like my style.

I just downloaded this game yesterday, and I have to say that it's pretty nice! :D I finished Gent Forest, but I'm guessing that you can't get the Sweet Honey yet. I've noticed that my save file gets deleted sometimes and brings up an error. Do you know how to fix this?

You're correct, the game finishes where you collect the Sweet Honey at the moment. The next version will contain several areas including Ochre Lighthouse (which is being occupied by Team Rocket) (screen shots of this can be seen in my DeviantArt) and the 2nd/3rd gyms along with a few extra dungeons.

That's slightly strange. I was expecting there to be problems with the saving system in this version because I had to code my own system because the game now uses Data Structures instead of Arrays for the inventories / pokedex.

Can you please check that in the game's folder, you have the *.sav file, a file called "i", one called "ki" and one called "pkdx". The *.sav file contains the standard information included in saved game & the other 3 contain the important information contained in your inventory / pokedex. So long as you don't edit them at all your game should work ok.

Thankyou for taking the time to point this out to me; I will take another look at the saving system so that it works better in the next version!

This game is addictive. :DDD

I love it so much!!!

Thanks :D, I appreciate that coming from you because I'm a big fan of Helio; I think it's one of the best Pokemon games on these forums.


Update! Poll #1

I am going to gauge which changes people want made by using polls. The first is to decide which Pokemon you would like as the next playable Pokemon.

Do you mean the application itself, or just the contents of the folder I put it in? The folder I use to play the game only has PKADV1 and the game itself. If I'm supposed to open the game, I don't know how to.

As for the polls, I voted for Cleffa Other random Pokemon I can see in this game are Eevee, the Unova starters, Larvitar, Mankey, Gible, Munna, Plusle, and more. Munna might be a bit iffy because it floats, but it does get a variety of Psychic moves. To be honest, a lot of Pokemon will fit as long as they aren't primarily fliers such as Aerodactyl or something XD

[RulerArceus]

OOOH...
*facepalm*
I was talking about the last demo.Every time you went to a new level you reset to level 1.
good to see that's fixed :D.
EDIT:Voted in the poll for A regional starter pokemon, which i would like to be treecko.

Erm. In the folder where the .exe is those other files "should" be there. However, I might have set them as hidden files, I can't honestly remember. To open the game you just click the *.exe and choose "Load Game" at the title screen. I will investigate further into this to try and fix the disappearing save files lol. I have a few different ideas of alternate saving methods to the one which I am currently using so I will play around with them so the next version doesn't have this issue.

Also, thankyou for voting in the poll! I plan to add the Unova starters eventually; Mankey is going to be an enemy Pokemon but I suppose I could make it a playable one as well; Munna would be interesting because I could just set the sprite so it appears like it hovers above the ground and yes, flying Pokemon will probably look unnatural in the current system (though a few do seem to fit - so I'll just have to be careful and only choose ones which look ok).

Ahhh. That makes sense. Yes I fixed that issue in this version -- it now saves stats and levels etc. The game was creating a new Marill at the start of each level instead of loading the old one, so it was easy enough to fix.

Thanks for voting in the poll! I'll write down that there's a vote for Treecko. =]

[Logiedan]

I tried out the game, and like Aquakip said, it's quite addictive. I love the cute sprites and the layout of the UI. I can't wait for more updates, keep it up. (;

Thankyou . I'm glad to hear you liked the UI because I was unsure whether it was going to be a hit or a miss, to speak.

I've finished coding an improved Pause Menu, I've made a tileset for the first Team Rocket encounter, finished programming in Pansear as a playable character and I've fixed the glitch that made you get "stuck" in some of the platforms.

I need to make a tileset for the 2nd gym, a tileset for a snowy cave-dungeon thing in the 4th town, add Pansage and Panpour and finish writing a better AI script before I release the next up-date. Oh, and I need to either keep working on designing gym leaders myself or find another pixel artist to help me.

I'm thinking i'd like to get the next major update out by the end of March if all goes well!

[pokemongarnet]

Oh, I lost track of this game from when it first started and it is coming along great. I'm extremely impressed.

[Rossay]

I realised it's been a while since I updated to let you guys know how the project is going so here's an update!

I've been really busy with university but now that I've had some time to work on the project, it's coming along. I've been programming the first Team Rocket encounter at Ochre Lighthouse, been adding various GUI updates which make the game look a lot better, written a completely new AI script from scratch which is very similar to the AI of monsters in Maplestory, been adding new playable characters and adding more routes and towns.

Here are a few screenies of route 6




The next update is still a while away at the moment, however, it will be a very big update compared to the ones I usually release (i.e. it will add a lot more content to the game).

[Itzmesonicx]

Wow love the screenShots Imma download it once i can

Thanks! Try it and let me know what you think. The screen shot is a little outdated now It can now use Fire Punch. You can see the most recent screenshots in my DeviantArt (link in my sig).

Also, the next up-date is getting close to being finished. Hopefully I'll be able to release it this weekend . In the mean time, here are some more teaser screenies:

[mprinz]

Love the idea, really fun and cooll, cant wait for full version!
