Good job Barker, I think the map should of taking a while to complete, considering everything you put into it. Though I think you should of used the main water, instead of the plain blue. But good job :).
It seems your going to use alot of scripts in this. I also think when your going to have the 'backpackchu' that should include it when Gary stops you in an event? ("Whats that?! A backpackchu?") xD.
Keep at it.
I'll probably change it eventually. Mostly, the calm water was to show that the player doesn't need to surf on it.
For now, the "Backpackachu" idea is going to stay, until I can get a spriter to help me with the shoulder idea. (For those who missed the joke, the "Backpackachu" isn't a backpack at all, it's really Pikachu riding on your back.) And yeah, of course the hack is going to need hack-specific humor, which will be some of the only ways I plan to split a tiny bit with the Canon.:P Maybe I'll have a running Joke where Ash says stupid things. ("Maybe it's a Cowterpie!" (A very real joke used in the.. Second? episode by Ash.) Then in a different situation, "Maybe it's a Backpackachu!". "Maybe it's a... lame idea :P.") Hmm.
I just think Gary would be the one to say something like "Nice Backpack, loser, you suck, kiss my Butt..erfree," etc etc etc.
Barker maps always take 3-4 hours. especially one that needs all the details to be perfet. Even more when you have to make the maps out of nowere and need ideas.
Oh good. :P I thought maybe I was a horribly slow mapper.
Another tidbit for those who didn't know: each of my maps so far has been blanked with Trees before I start, and I plan to keep it that way.
I really love the comparison, I hope the event goes well.
Also, where did u get those stairs?
I've been trying to make them in the block editor, but it won't work.
P.S. I'm using the same rombase.
I added these stairs myself, which is why they look a little messed up.
Epic.
This is the word that comes to mind when I think of how could this could be. When I first read this through I was...excited. I thought this really could be great. But I must admit I had my doubts. I thought the extent of anime in the game would be fighting a spearow in the forest and that's it. While this wouldn't be a bad thing I hoped for more. All my fears were put to rest after looking through your plan for only the first route.
It will be hard work of that I have no doubt but I'm sure it was be worth it. If you need any help (sorry my hacking experiance is downloading Advance Map and messing around with that so I can't help you on that front) don't hesitate to ask.
It great to see the Anime get the game it deserved all along.
As far as route 1 goes, I think it looks awesome and the events sound great. You said you are going to block the player going right forcing him into the event with spearow. How are you going to do this? I was thinking something along the lines of a script popping going.. "I think this is the wrong way" or something along those lines. Then again I don't know if you have anything planned.
And now to quote the awesome...:paranoid:... S Club 7... "Don't stop, never give up"
Reading that it really is quite a mammoth 3rd post. ^_^
yet again good luck! and expect to see me posting in this thread often.
Wow.. :P
I would hate myself for ramping anyone up, then giving them something lame like a single battle. And thanks, man. As for blocking the route, I'll probably have some "Convenient" excuse, maybe Pikachu refusing to go, or two trainers battling, as in G/S during the early Mr. Pokemon segment.
Don't worry, we've all had that song stuck in our heads once or twice. :P Thanks again.
Barker Um I have ideas on what to do for some simple things.
1. When ash is late to oaks he goes thee in pajama then when he is ready with pikachu you do a sleep at home warp and when he wakes up he is in his new clothes.
2. For weather like event I.E. the charmander nad Ho-oh do same above but for charmander after you and the gang rest there and for Ho-oh after you faint.
3. Um let me see. Oh got one. Um how about putting a seperate rout to the right of pallet town going to oaks and a ranch were you view deposited pokemon
Let's see..
1. That seems complicated. If it works, I'm all for it, but it'll have to wait till I'm someway into the hack to be implemented. I'm more focused on getting this off the ground right now than fixing minute-long inconsistencies.
2. Yeah, I forgot about adding the much-needed Thunderstorm Weather part 5 of the event. Don't worry, weather will be part of the experience. ;)
3. I've only watched partway into the first season, and haven't seen anything about a ranch yet. Anyway, seeing all your Pokemon would be cool, but it seems like it would require a very, very complex script. For now, we'll shelve this idea.
Anyway, Utah kids in my area get a few days off from high school to chill for Easter Break. Guess how I'll be spending some of mine? :P
Expect a new map tonight/early tomorrow morning.
