Hey all.
My name's Redcard, and I'm working on a XNA / C# engine for "Pokemon." It'll be basically something that you'll add custom code around, some XML files, some resources, and there ya go.
That's the plan, at least. But.. in the interim, I'm curious what generation I should go for? Part of me says that starting with Gen 1 and releasing that will be a good option for me, since I can develop incrementally.. the other part says that going straight to four will offer me the ability to be more customizable.. and then the third part (whew!) suggests that a hybrid of both methods would be neato :)
The end goal of this wouldn't necessarily be a game, so much as a platform, much like the current starter kit... but of course, I'll make a game alongside it to test things.
What you'll see out of me soonish will be more or less parts and chunks. You'll see things like a "battle simulator" a la Shoddy.. and maybe a Pokemon app that'll let you quickly define and enter Pokemon into the XML files, and what not.. and then an engine that'll let you wander around, talk to others.
And then one day, it'll be complete, and there ya go :)
So.. good to be here, this should be fun, and I now have a bunch of requirements to write ;)
