Pokemon: Carbon

[<~F.M.P~>]

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Note: THIS IS A GAME, NOT A HACK!
Program made in: RMXP
Language: Ruby, Rgss

+++++++++
Intro
+++++++++

Well The names <~Flood~> Or Floating monkey pirate if you
didn't know by now, or FMP for short.What much can I say? I 1st learned
about hacking 3 years ago from a friend who introduced me to
pokemon crystal shards, and like almost everyone else on this
community I thought making my own pokemon game would be
great...and easy (I learned it wasn't, the hard way) after that I learned
about Pokemon essentials and RMXP which I thought I might as
well attempt since I wasn't making to much progress with
my hack, and low and behold, Everything just seemed easier to me.

+++++++++
Story
++++++++++

In this game, what you do is beyond morals. It is neither good nor bad, but
only things you do to meet your own ends. The Grotto Region.
Man made using the greatest of human technology. This region being
one of two of the newest regions in the vast and steadily growing
Pokemon world. Lately events, strange events have occurred
in this region. Weird things, strange people and unexplainable
geographical occurrences. Being the young kid of a famous
world renowned professor/mother, has led you to this region.
Starting fresh from Terilvine City a few days before your birthday
alongside, your mother: Professor Mai, and younger sister Myrale, you settle
in a little town known as Giltine town. Soon after arriving you
experience an earthquake. your mother being worried
rushes off, only telling you she must take care of a few matters.
Upon relocating her, your left with a task. Travel to the next
town to your mothers top assistant, a simple task...If only that
were the end of it all. The events that have taken place
and soon to occur leave you with a choice:

You may learn the truth, but know that with this truth comes a heavy
burden, and that you may never be the person you once were

You may resume life. Unaware of the occuring events. You will continue
onto the path of oblivion, unaware. You will be happy with your
life, friends, and pokemon, but know that you shall loose all, even
the being of existance if you turn a blind eye to these events.

Or you may choose resoloution. You will return to a world without
the conflict in which exists today. Know that from this point on,
you will lead a new life, and that you may
once again gain what has been lost.

But know this. For the path you choose, you will be
embued with this power. It's theirs to give, and yours to recieve.

+++++++++++++
The Legend
+++++++++++++

It is said that when you enter the core, there is nothing, only
wastelands of past carnage and destruction. From it, a creature
appears. This creature Is Mani, the Moon Pokemon Specifically
one that chases the dark side of the moon in legend mythology.
This creature is sentient. It is powerful. In legend It sends a great
howl that will awake the two entities of power one of struggle, and
the other of life. With these beings. Life comes to be, along with pain
and darkness. It was once said that they would release themselves, and
upon this day, a startle to the human life would occur. They are great,
They are mighty, but they are not the original ones brought from the
nothingness. So they may be stopped.

it's young age. This Pokemon spends it's time learning new
moves and polishing it's gloves with waxy tree sap

Torpond
This pokemon Has a small pond of water situated on its back.
It has a protective trasnparent layer over the water that keeps
it from splashing out while It's on the move.

Cripet

from predators. It can roll it's body into a tightly shut ball.
The only part of cripet unprotected is the wings on the top of it's body.

[font="tahoma"}] Meh.

Well, everything does look great and amazing and all that jazz but for one thing, I hate Kyledove's D/P tiles; they're too overused. But besides that, good job! [/font]

Hey, I haven't done this one yet, have I? I can't remember...

Story

In this game, what you do is beyond morals Get to the point...you can't really say this in-game explicitly.. It is neither good nor bad, but
only things you do are to? to meet your own ends. The Grotto Region.
Man made using the greatest of human technology So it's synthetic...? From what was it made? Something hadn to have been sued up for it to be here.... This region being
one of two of the newest regions Okay, I remember this now... in the vast and steadily growing
Pokemon world. Lately events, strange events have occurred
in this region. Weird things, strange people There are strange people everywhere. So? And isn't soe of this arbitrary? and unexplainable
geographical occurrences. Being the young kid of a famous
world renowned professor/mother Convenience, eh?, has led you to this region.
Starting fresh from Terilvine City a few days before your birthday
alongside Another cliche..., your mother: Professor Mai, and younger sister Myrale Is that an actual name? Just curious...never heard it before., you settle
in a little town known as Giltine town What happened to Terilvine City?. Soon after arriving you
experience an earthquake. your mother being worried
rushes off, only telling you she must take care of a few matters.
Upon relocating her, your left with a task. Travel to the next

You may learn the truth, but know that with this truth comes a heavy

It sounds epic, but can you back it up with anything?​

You may resume life. Unaware of the occuring events. You will continue
onto the path of oblivion, unaware. You will be happy with your

The Legend
+++++++++++++​

It is said that when you enter the Planet core? Uhh, so this is Sci-Fi...? core, there is nothing, only
wastelands of past carnage and destruction. From it, a creature
appears. This creature Is Mani, the Moon Pokemon Specifically
one that chases the dark side of the moon in legend mythology.
This creature is sentient That wouldn't really be part of a legend (worded like that), but that eliminates a question for me to ask.... It is powerful. In legend It sends a great
howl that will awake the two entities of power one of struggle Legend duo ~_~..., and
the other of life. With these beings. Life comes to be, along with pain
and darkness. It was once said that they would release themselves, and
upon this day, a startle to the human life would occur. They are great,
They are mighty, but they are not the original ones brought from the
nothingness. So they may be stopped.​

​

...meh. What happens in-game? You just made a bunch of promises up there...

 

[h POKE]

Since I helped come up with what made this idea what it is, as opposed what it was before I came around to Carbon, let me explain several things (to Flood, this is some of the stuff I sent you yesterday, in less detail for the kiddies):
-First, Flood should really put up the Edits I gave him yesterday, it would make the idea flow so much better.
-The real part of the game where you go to the core is towards the end ('least in my book), and way more intense than just how Flood kind of threw it out there.
-Grotto is populated, the second region (I don't know what it's called yet) is not. If anyone has ever read Soft Places by Neil Gaiman, they would know how the second region works. But before anyone complains that the story can't go on that long, let me explain to you that the whole world changes before your eyes after you beat the E4 (towards the beginning of the game).
-The second region will be much more difficult because you'll rarely ever be in towns and cities. Meaning, your pokemon will fight pretty much to death.
-There is one faction (GRU, I don't remember what it stands for right now), two parts. Each part has differing ideas, so they split. On goes, the other stays. You spend the second half of the game fighting off those nuckas.

Thank you very much. I hope this game is more successful

Thank you...I'm glad to hear that.

awesome new thread FMP keep it up. :D

Thank you very much Ryu.

I understand what you mean, but as I'm not a tile artist at the moment. They'll have to stay.
Thank you by the way.

[QUOTE="Agent Zero, post: 4239640, member: 112255"]Get to the point...you can't really say this in-game explicitly
The story nor the legend are final. This is just a rough draft hence the reason It's still in the Plot and story development section, and this won't be in-game.

So it's synthetic...? From what was it made? Something hadn to have been sued up for it to be here....
I won't be revealing this anytime soon, but the hints are everywhere.
What happened to Terilvine City?
Read the story once more...You'll get it.
Planet core? Uhh, so this is Sci-Fi...?
No...Here I'm referring to something a bit different, but no not scifi.
Legend duo ~_~...
Ha ha No...I'd be a bit disappointed myself if It were like that.

+++++++++++++
Update
+++++++++++++

Well Happy New years Eve everyone. I guess I have a small update
But none the less It's just as important to the game.

++++++++++++
A few screens
++++++++++++

Just a few screens and the beginning of the game. Well...sort of.
The first two can be seen in the screenshots on the thread, but
now I'll explain a bit.

Spoiler:

Explanation of pics
pic1: The New load screen. Inspiration was that of OmegaGroudon
Something in this pic is subject to change...Very soon. Also a small
little fun thing about the new Load screen...It plays music like in G/S/C
It's pretty entertaining for a bit.
pic2:This would be your younger sister Myrale nagging to you
(don't you have a mother for that?)
pic3:Your mothers lab, but as you can see, she's not there.
She has gone down to Ehsou Forest.
pic4:Your mother/Professor(how convenient), and yes Eshou
Forest would happen to be right near your house.

++++++++++++++++++
Pick Your pokemon
++++++++++++++++++

Spoiler:

Explanation of pics
Pic1-3: Nothing much just Professor Mai talking to you.
Pic4: Well I thought having a pokemon selection this way might
be a little less bland. With this, It gives the effect that she's giving
you a pokemon, and the choices are up above. Well all except one.

+++++++++++++++
D/P effects
++++++++++++++++

Well Lets see...I've covered a bit about the small things in the game...
Perhaps something for the Titlescreen?

This will replace the Ruby/Sapphire glow effect of the Old titlescreen...I do have a new
Img like this closer to the D/P effect so I'll be putting that one on it instead.

+++++++++++++++
A new Starter
+++++++++++++++
What kind of game would have a Dog as a water starter you ask?
Well yes...I've been asking myself the same question so I've been
working on a new starter

Spoiler:

Torpond
This pokemon Has a small pond with water situated on its back.
It has a protective trasnparent layer over the water that keeps
it from splashing out while It's on the move.

Well, Yes Nintendo has made many turtle pokemon before, but this one is totally
different, and It really shows this evidence In it's Final evo.

+++++++++
Closing
+++++++++
Well thats It for This years update. I'll have more later, but for
now I might as well show you a screen for next weeks update.

Please note that that is NOT the new menu...I will hopefully be able to show
that in the next update, as well as a bit more.

 

[ryushin5]

Awesome update FMP this is amazing I just can't wait for the next update. :D

 

[h POKE]

Torpond... Is certainly not your best work, Flood, and It's a little too busy to be professional. The shell should probably just be a mix of similar shades. I like the new OW, except for from the back. The hair goes down on the character a bit too far in the back, and he kind of looks like a girl (or me!).

P.S. I rewrote (most) of the story for you. It's not that crappy thing I sent you earlier, either. I had writer's block then...

Your right...It is way to flooded with little add ons...How's this?

I'll Keep working at it. I need to improve my shading anyway.

and Yes I've seen the New Story. I'll Message you back on it a little later on today, Thank you.

 

[Nytkoi]

Hey, very nice update. I really like the pokemon starting screen. It looks great. But why in the small picture with Velgrus is a giant dinosaur's silouhette showing? o.o;;

 

[Anuhrima]

Glad to see this game back. And revamped

Thank you! and Oh I suppose ther is...Hmmm guess I'll reveal the starters in the next 3 updates so we can find out.

Glad to see this game back. And revamped

Thank you. I'm happy to hear you say that...I should be able to reveal some new characters and Storyline about the game in the next update.

 

[h POKE]

Wow! Just by getting rid of that little bit of flooding (did you change the angle of the head as well?) it looks really cleaned up. I look forward to seeing its evolutions. It's kind of like the antithesis of Torkoal, so I think it would be interesting if it had a cloud of mist around it that grew as it evolved (similar to Torkoal's cloud of smoke).

P.S. I'll be sure to send you (Flood) some in-depth character summaries for your update, unless you want to write them yourself, that is.

Thank You...I'm glad you approve of that one a bit more...I'll keep working at it though.

and thank you for sending me the Character Bios...your always on top of the ball with writing.

~Teaser~
​

Well for anyone who's actually Curious about the New Water pokemons
Evoloution line...Here's a small teaser of it until I can fully figure
out a decent update for everyone and get a small script together.

​

 

[InMooseWeTrust]

Dark red/purple text on a black background looks awful. You need to change your color scheme on your posts.

 

[<~F.M.P~>]

Dark red/purple text on a black background looks awful. You need to change your color scheme on your posts.

Well...I'll try to think of a better color scheme.

Now...due to my computer crashing...I won't be working on Carbon for a couple weeks to a few months...Sorry everyone.
