[Released] Rocket Rising

[SaltRoad]

EDIT: To use the new Shortcut Menu, press Shift or C. This will let you access the Bike, Cell Phone, Skill Checker, and Map (in progress) much faster.
I'm also going to lower the Coins required by the Salon Saffron Sidequest from 1000 down to 500. 1000 was way too many.
After talking to Idris in the Celadon Base after the Power Plant, the game will state that it's finished. This is incorrect, fixing the message now.

In a rush right now, I still need to check through some bugs and healing in Saffron doesn't work right now, but if anyone wants to point out obvious stuff if they encounter it that would be awesome.
If not, I'll get to it in the New Year!

Potentially buggy Rocket Rising 0.4.3 https://www.mediafire.com/?9cc07m6ynqwiojp


Stuff that 0.4.3 has updated and added:

Spoiler:

-Better starting stats for your team on Nugget Bridge
-Some wild Pokemon will now have proper moves, like ember and bubble, instead of just 'attack'
-Adjusted the statue's color in Cinnabar mansion
-Placed some Cheat items around so you don't just get them exclusively from Zach
- Rewrote some of Zach's dialogue when recruiting
-Stats and weaknesses for the Ghosts and Spliced Pokemon were wrong. These are fixed now.
- Game would crash after the Silph Secretary. Fixed now.
- Added an achievement after beating Rival at Silph
- Added in a Shortcut menu for the Bike, Skill Tracker, and Cell Phone (the images need adjusting tho)
- Skill Tracker screen is bigger so that all your Pokemon will eventually fit on it
- Unnecessary Armor slots were removed from the Menu (head, shield, etc.)
- Small side event with Rival exists in Cinnabar now after Idris Cerulean events.
- Main Story now includes creating a new base with Idris in Saffron City.
- The "copycat" sidequest is now given out by a Rocket member
- Began creating the route to Bill's House near cerulean
- Filled out Fuschia city more
- Fixed problems on Rt 8. Losing to trainers there when on the Maxx mission will now transport you to the beginning and heal you.
...And other stuff I may have forgotten to write down

I just got to say it, I enjoy the sounds of this game, I was listening to sonic open your heart and be like wow that be great for this game...but anyways really enjoy the music you put in the game with the gameplay, looking forward to a bug free update buddy, thanks

 

[supereffective]

great update man, everything was great..... I really like how you made gary different , like for him to be stronger, he needs a rival and hes confused. I like the perception of who the character is, red is doing all the work but still seen as the lt. lap dog. great flowing game. what will we find in the safari zone, i look forward to it , could you have the rocket special pokemon a little stronger? my team is at level 20 23 ish and monsters will just wipe the level 10 out without mercy.

Are Gen 2+ Pokemon going to be in this game?

 

[SaltRoad]

PROGRESS: Added in a Dojo sidequest where you can get Hitmonchan/Hitmonlee. Need to test that the "gauntlet" of it isn't too easy/difficult.
Been also working on the Daycare on Rt 5 so that you can drop off your weaker Pokemon and let them get experience. The Casino will also now let you know about that option.

Oh, that song rocks. The lyrics make it hard to use, but it is good!

I'm gonna make sure the Daycare is easier to access/pointed out more obviously in the game. It's a good place to take your weaker Pokemon.
The grass outside Celadon City also should be a good place to train.

Are Gen 2+ Pokemon going to be in this game?

Probably not. This is a very Gen 1 game!

 

[supereffective]

for sure, you got great taste in battle music....im sure you find great songs for bosses or whatever else.. but I think if you read the lyerics open your heart, it be great for when blue finally confronts red and maybe tries to save him or whatever , feels blue will try to stop red being in team rocket at somepoint...and then play the scary music sonic adventure for a second battle and have all garys monsters have mutingin...make it a big deal to do that because its harming his pokemon to save his best friend.

Patch the new version with the old version?
Do you mean how to transfer your save files to the new, patched version?

yeah, pretty much

you should consider researching xenoblade chronicles, could give you a lot of easy add in achivements , thanks again for your version of kanto... very enjoyable journey

 

[SaltRoad]

Quick Update: Hey, I'm juggling both classes and work right now and it's leaving me very little free time to work on Rocket Rising.
I would expect things to be quiet around here until the Summer starts!

 

[supereffective]

I await further orders giovonni in our quest to take over kanto , pokemon and THE PEOPLE are for team rocket...MY LIFE FOR YOU GIOVONNI...anyone who dares to quarrel with us will faint and im afraid the pokemon center will not save them :) have a good one buddy I await my orders this summer

 

[Frostleaf25]

I dont understand. What do i have to do to the exe RTP so i can play the game?

Never mind, dumb question

 

[Frostleaf25]

Am I suppose to have a second pokemon by Lavender Town?

Not only that but the skill tracker seems to give me crunch by using bite 80 times. Yet it didnt tell me about Hyper Fang that i get by bite too...

Im not sure how the skill tracker works now. Also i have agility at ten by using Quick Attack. Is that how i got Tail Whip which is a new attack or was that because i grew a level.

I used Tail Whip a bunch of times since Ratatta cant hurt Gastly, i just got agility?...

Someone can walk through the roof (outside) of the poke center on cannibar island. Its funny walking the person walk on it.

OK.... I got the clues (no lockpick), talk to scienceist but i cant get to saffron. The scienceist doesnt give me anything and the (small one) transporter doesnt do anything. What am i doing wrong?

 

[SaltRoad]

PROGRESS: Summer has started and I have free time again! I've done the skill sets for every Pokemon you'll get in the game, which gives me about 150-ish unique moves. I'm working on animating all of them, and I'm halfway through, but it's gonna take time.
I've also finished up the Fuchsia Park plot event, but I have one more boss battle to finish before I can come out with a new update. Things are moving well though.

You get a second Pokemon at the end of Lavender town, after meeting Maxx.

If you use Tail whip 10 times, you'll get Agility
Using Bite will give you Hyper Fang
and getting to lvl 16 will give you Crunch.

I'll see if I can find a better way to show the Skill Checker.

What version are you using? It should say in the lower corner when you first start the game.

Glad to see the game's still hanging around. Been a long while since I've been on Pokecommunity, and I forgot what your tumblr was after a couple of months. This game has always hands down, filled the hole most be Team Rocket games leave. I'm actually surprised, going over to the Romhack section that they still haven't gotten anywhere far.

 

[Sirius Black]

so a few things of note; A) the main thread page needs updating, seeing as RocketRising2(2) is still the main download there, and it seems you've released two newer versions since then.

Second; I love this concept so so so much, it's really awesome playing through the game like this, I would reckon I like this more than toxic purple at this point in terms of ideas,

I'm not quite sure if your aware, but in the main download on the original post, when you complete cinnabar and teleport back, there is no dialogue for the lockpick quest and it doesn't ever give it to you, I see you've released a updated version on the main page, however I feel I should mention that I talked to the scientist immediately upon returning to the base, and that may have caused the scripts to break which would cause you not to receive the lockpick, I don't know though.

I hope to see this continue to receive updates, cheers!

Progress: I've finished the animations for every move in the game so far. Hopefully this will make battles feel much more smooth and fun.
I still need to go back and make sure all enemies have the right weaknesses and resistances.
Currently cleaning up a Boss Battle Gauntlet that stretches from Fuschia all the way back to Viridian city. Should be fun!

Once upon a time I tried to do a Romhack version of RocketRising, but I gave up really quickly.
Romhacks are just difficult. They're much easier to just open up and play though!
Thank you!

A) Ahh you're right! I've been neglecting the main page for awhile now. I'll put the correct version up.
B) Toxic Purple is what got me started, and I still consider it like... THE Team Rocket game.
So that's such a high compliment for me, thank you!

Talking to the scientist after returning to the base is what is supposed to happen. The player should have 5 checkpoints, talk to the scientist, get the lockpick, then have 6 checkpoints and go on the Detective quest.
But if people are using an older version it would still be broken, so that may be the problem.

I will definitely continue to update! I couldn't imagine stopping at this point haha!

boss battle across the rigion , what a fantastic teaser
