It doesn't look like there are any available. Johto Blaziken's map pack appears to only have Four Island, and I'm unaware of any other map packs. In terms of the Sevii Islands, there really isn't all that much to map. You could easily get PNG images of the maps from Bulbapedia and bust them out...

Of course you can post what you've already done. In terms of non-volatile statuses, were you thinking about allowing a Pokémon to be inflicted by more than one? If so, the boolean array would definitely work. If not and you want the Pokémon to only be inflicted by one like the actual games, I...

I cannot provide the code, but I can give some guidelines as to how to replicate it just by observing behavioral patterns. I've been slowly developing an engine in C, so I have had to give this some thought (though it being C, I don't have the same luxury of using objects as in Java). 1...

Even crediting the original artist or source does not grant you license to use their assets/art/work. They have to expressly give you that license, whether it be something as defined as a Creative Commons or as basic as 'yes, you may use it with credit'. And as noted, PokéCommunity has explicit...

In short, if anyone is suggesting to just use RPG Maker and Pokémon Essentials above GameMaker, it's because most of back-end work on the core features has already been completed. You need to consider many of the users in the community here are not software developers. The combination of RPG...

Yes, it is. It takes years of studying a language to become fluent in it if you aren't a native speaker. As for my personal pet peeve, mine would have to be completely disjointed graphics. I don't mind bad graphics as much if they're consistent, but having graphics that don't come together...

The last time I raged was a few days ago, when The Sims 3 crashed thanks to EA's awful coding. I lost about 2 hours of a community lot build I was working on. Luckily it was a partial crash. Create-a-Style loaded half-way. The cursor and the function loaded, but the window for the tool didn't...

I had some of the best times I've ever had in gaming with Gunstar Heroes for the Genesis, Wacky Races for the Dreamcast, Toy Commander for the Dreamcast, and Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 2 for the Dreamcast. Some great local multiplayer in all of these titles, especially Toy Commander. Battling it out...

I have plenty of consoles stored at my parents' house, but I can't think of most of the off the top of my head (so let's just say I have a lot). At my college apartment, I have a: 60GB Sony Playstation 3 Red Nintendo Wii Mini Super Nintendo Sega Sports Edition Sega Dreamcast Black "Ambassador"...

I do that from time to time. ;) I haven't abandoned this place completely.

I've been using the RPG Maker series on and off since late 2002, so I've been working on projects since then, really. I've completed a few short games before, but they've been lost at various points in time (although I can remember part of how one went, even all the way down to the event code)...

It may very well just be US stores. I've never been to a Canadian one (considering I haven't visited the country in a number of years), but I've been to many spanning the entire Eastern US Seaboard and most GameStops do push at least Game Informer. However, I was doing a little more thinking...

C is pretty easy to learn, as others have suggested, but it's fairly hard to master. However, it is also a building block for its supersets (like C++ and Java), and really makes learning them much easier. Any difficulty, I think, that you encounter learning C will just make learning objective...

While I don't think physical sales in brick-and-mortar stores are going anywhere, I do thing there will be a significant fallout between most specialty video game stores and their customers at some point. First, let me point out that I don't know the ins-and-outs of GAME, because I live in the...

The one thing that really annoyed me was Castelia City. Based on all the concept art, I thought it would be huge, but it's really not. At least in the scope of the original Black and White. A major expansion on Castelia and placing more importance on it than in B/W is the only thing I could hope...
