Know bugs / Improvements

Spoiler:

And the reflection in pallet town starts a tile earlier so you're reflected on the grass looks a bit strange
Your reflection is on part of the bank, and in some places, does not reflect all of you. Also, Pikachu has no reflection.
Player animations needs sorting

The name is taken as a ROM Hack and as a Game Before. Change it.

Overall, good progress. Nice yellow remake.

[desbrina]

Thanks, i'll think of another name. A demo should be soon. It will have everything up to and including Pewter.

If you want the game look better, add new titlesets, make it dual screen. Dual Screen Script is here
But give credit to Crazyninjaguy

Nice start but I think you should try using newer tilesets. Also, because you're using the small R/S/E/FR/LG character and the large HGSS Pikachu it makes the Pikachu look larger than the character himself lol.

Game doesn't always have to be dual screen to make it look better and that script is sooooooo outdated it's believable. Most people just go into the sprite resizer and change the resolution there. But, one thing you need to think of, is the game creator able to script.

The game actually looks fine, it seems your mapping style Desbrina suits the gen III style and I kinda like it although the Gen IV overworlds don't seem to mix well with the tiles so either down grade the overworlds or maybe upgrade the tileset. Other than that I don't see anything wrong with your game. Plot seems basic at the moment but I can see you are planning for something big.

I'm using the FR/LG tilesets to keep in with that generations style.

Rossay
I need to resize the pokemon overworld sprites, among some others

Carmaniac
Most of the overworld sprites are placeholders at the moment. They will be switched to Gen III style.

As for the plot, it mostly stays the same as yellow, except for after the elite four it changes


My RGSS scripting is still basic though i'm learning. I pick things up pretty quickly, but at the moment theres not really much script change wise, just a few bug fixes

[desbrina]

Route 3 has been completed and a demo is now available. Please let me know if you find any errors or anything. I have played through it but may have missed something. The demo contains everything up till route 3

[desbrina]

Maps up to Cerulean City and half of the city are done. I've also made it so that the Pikachu you get at the biginning won't evolve (like the series). Others that you can get will (and you will have the chance to encounter/get 1 more Pikachu)

New demo will be available when Cerulean city and its gym is done. This time i'll make the bgm files a seperate download since they are large in size

You know, you can just use Curt's Region Starter Kit. It's fully mapped out already save for a few cave maps, and its in your tileset style.

Maybe she'd like to map them out on her own instead of having the entire game mapped out for her. (And if I'm not mistaken, the events are already made, too.)

Anyways, yes I have to agree with what a few members have said here. You should definitely switch to some more modern graphics when remaking a game. Otherwise, it'll be FRLG with a few tweaks to it.

Just helping her out. Maybe she wanted to save some time and effort.

I'm still debating whether to include pre/post evolutions of the 151 pokemon or not

I say you do it, adds more to the game. Just 151 isn't all that many, and honestly, they are related Pokémon. If your going to include breeding, the entire families should be there.

I also vote you take a few more liberties with your versions of the maps. Keep them close to the original, but mix them up a little and change a few things just to add your own creative twist.

[desbrina]

Ok, i'm going to include the pre/post evolutions of the original 151 pokemon.

Just testing
Pallete Town - HG/SS Style

[Cilerba]

The map seems to be a bit too open, and there's a few errors with the fencing and the pond.
If you just make the map smaller, then put everything closer together, I think it'll definitely improve it.

I like it! This looks a lot better! With that said:

I agree, it should be a little less open, the pond a little wider. I like what I'm seeing so far though, keep up the good work!

[desbrina]

How about V2

[Yagerbomb]

That's a lot better! Looks almost exactly like pallet town from HG/SS. Good job so far!

[desbrina]

Thanks

There is a problem with your Pallet Town. Pay attention to the trees on both sides.

As for Route 1, looks alright so far, thought the right side of that little plateau looks like it's using a wrong tile, just in case you hadn't noticed.

Cool but glitchy tree

Start of Route 1
Nice, but how can you go to the next side?

[desbrina]

Teach me to work at night when i'm supposed to be in bed.

New versions of them (with bourndary trees to prevent seeing the black edges)

Pallet Town

Route 1

[LePoisson]

I may be wrong as I have never mapped before but arent the cliffs on the top right the wrong way around?

[desbrina]

thanks, i forgot about that.

Not done much mapping today, but have been working on a mystery gift system. It works fine except i haven't inplimented specifing attacks yet

[pokemonseablueversion]

Nice game, so far.
My only advice is that you should take screenshots when it is daytime.
That way, the screen will look clear.
And, about your doors in the houses, it will be better if you download the door animations. I'll provide an attachment. But, credit Curt's Region Starter Kit for the door animations!


Good luck!
