Good Luck Baro.

Last progress: bombermen hideout (in the route next to cobalstation city)
Bomberman cameo. The hideout is inspired in the levels from bomberman (the way the big rocks are placed, in a 25% dither, etc)
The prize is HM08 EXPLOSION.

Bomberman! :D I love that game so much! :)

And I like the battle sprites of the BMen, Teh Baro! You really amaze us all! :D

Wishing for the best and always keep it up! ;)

Hah, that's cool. Reminds me of my "evil organization" team too, keep up the ideas. Also Explosion as an HM sounds awesome.

 

[Binary]

Wow nice updates.. and bomberman? Nice idea, i love the sprites aswell.
BTW don't you want to change the OW of them.
And TM08 Explosion sounds good....i wonder what its effect is....

You are doing a fantastic job so far. Keep up the good work. Can't wait for the next beta

Not a super-mega-fantastic-incredible thing, but a new thing. Remember clark the clerk? He's the guy in every shop in quartz and in marble too. (My joy/jenny parody: they all look the same, they all are clerks and they all are named clark). In quartz he used to appear as a trainer. In marble too, but the difference is that when you defeat him he'll sell you something. Not inspired on it, but when I finished it it reminded me of the deku scrubs from the zelda series.

By the way that's sandy valley. A [short] desert. pokemon appear in the sand. (I couldn't emulate the effect in ruby)

 

[Ivysaur]

So, is he going to say "I have a potion for 400 poke-things" or will he show you a good variety of things to buy?
Really good idea, by the way.

Just one item. But it will be stuff that you can't find in normal shops

It's not like HM08 Explosion is something very fair for your Pokes to use on battles (well, I don't like its effect), but whatever, we have HM Rock Smash, so... if it's needed, then it's needed :\

Everything sounds interesting, Baro. I just didn't get the part that you said you couldn't emulate the effect in Ruby (of what?)

Keep up with the good ideas!

It will have other uses, such as opening doors on caves or breaking a dam. But yeah, maybe it's exaggerated to have cut, rock smash and explosion to have similar effects... Hmmm ah I know, now I know how to edit HMs, I'll edit the hm rock smash and put something else. I'll put the explosion rocks on the rock smash rocks slots, make the explosion rocks script out of the rock smash rock (changing the badge check if it has, [haven't cheked it yet]), and think something else.
Remind me to edit the dialogues where people talk about rock smash.

EDITED: I've though about it and it would be cool to have SPIDER WEB as an HM. In some caves, you'll be able to create bridges using spider web. Also forces you to have a bug-type pokémon in your party (or to spend a lot of time in a certain route to catch a ninjice, which can learn every move.)

And yes, EXPLOSION is devastating, but also faints your POKéMON. Having unlimited explosions suggests new strategies.
Maybe I put new rules on the league so you can't take revives or max revives with you, to prevent kamikaze strategies. Are there other ways to revive a pokémon?

Everything sounds interesting, Baro. I just didn't get the part that you said you couldn't emulate the effect in Ruby (of what?)

Oh the desert tiles, where the sand is below your feet. There isn't a tile behaviour on FR that lets me emulate that.

When you use rare candy on a fainted Pokemon it revives with only 2 HP. Maybe it's not a good idea to ban all revives/max reviews, but you should let someone take a certain amount in instead (5 would be a good number).

 

[zel 2.0]

Ah, cool. Replacing the Rock Smash sounds great, I think everyone agrees that R.Smash is a pathetic move to have around always with you on your team. Well, let's see what you replace it with and what would become the new field effect.

Rare Candy's behaviour is that, CBM? Or was it something you invented? *intrigued*
[EDIT]: WOT? Why would I want to waste a R.Candy for reviving? I wonder if they still get their raising effect...

 

[Ivysaur]

*Tries* Yup, it revives the pokes O.o First notice.
There also are revival herbs, but I think that forbidding all kind of revives is kinda extreme... I agree with CBM: restrict the amount.
@Zel: It also levels the poke up. Two birds in a shoot.

No, that really does happen in the official games.

Okay. I'll do that. The maximum of revival items permitted (the sum of all you have) will be 3, no candies included. (I think I have an idea on how to do that... hell of a long script).
3, because 5 if too much. Not many people uses 5 revivals in one run at the league. 3 is fair.

By the way, I edited my other post while you were posting those witty replies:

EDITED: I've though about it and it would be cool to have SPIDER WEB as an HM. In some caves, you'll be able to create bridges using spider web. Also forces you to have a bug-type pokémon in your party (or to spend a lot of time in a certain route to catch a ninjice, which can learn every move.)

It's not definitive, but looks good to me.

 

[Virtual Chatot]

That would actually be a pretty cool idea

 

[Lady Berlitz]

Spider Web as an HM? Wow, that sounds like the next beta'll be a blast! However, I'm thinking of how it should give us some use in the next beta. There's really nothing important that can be of use for a spider web... unless you've got a witty post yourself, Baro! :P

Good luck.
I'm all tangled up.
Alright, bad pun. :P

 

[destinedjagold]

I think a Spider Web is very useful if we want to cross around cliffs and caves and such. It creates pathways and bridges for us to cross obstacles and falls. Brilliant idea, Baro.., ya always have something to amaze us! :D

 

[lanroxas]

It wont be easy to make spider web an HM... you'd have to make a lot of scripts... appearing bridge, making them passable, making them disappear... etc, etc, etc... but it would be a good idea... just... which HM would go out? and... are there going to be 9 gyms as in Quartz? or more xD?
