=========================================

PROLOGUE:

Spoiler:
Two scientists travel by train to their destination. The town of Rosehip, they talk to no-one on the way there and keep to themselves, thinking only of their ultimate goal, to make all the Pokemon the property of their organisation...

As the train stops in Rosehip Station, the duo prepare to depart the train, whispering a short prayer to their gods, making sure the contents of their suitcases are secure and that they won't arouse suspicion...

The two scientists leave the train and make the way through the station, then through the town to their target, the mighty river Pihesor. Then, making sure they weren't being followed, they follow the river upstream to Mt Corleo. On Mt Corleo they find the source of the river...

They immediately begin opening their respective suitcases and bring out vials of a mysterious liquid. They open these vials and pour them in the river, one of the scientists then drops a mysterious brown rock into the river also turning the water a sickening yellowy colour, which then changes back to clear seconds later....

Their task having been finished, they walk around the mountain and head for a clearing they were told to meet at when their task had been completed... But their contact wasn't there... But why hadn't their contact arrived to take them back to headquarters? They decided to wait for the contact... But they would soon find out why their contact hadn't turned up...

They had been waiting nearly three hours for their contact, they were given a phone number to call, which they has been calling every half an hour, but the line was engaged... The finally get through only to hear screams of agony and despair and then the line falls dead. The scientists worst fears seem to have come true, they still had their organisation's goal... Though they soon started to think "What have we done?" but it would be too late for that...

Both scientists hear a rustling in the the bushes and out comes a dark shadow with glowing red eyes, within seconds both scientists were dead before they hit the ground...


Intro

PAO is a free Role Playing Game in which most, if not all the classic regions are accessible. The player will start in New Bark Town in Johto and travel throughout most of the regions trying to find the cure for a mysterious "rage" virus that causes Pokemon to attack humans and other Pokemon without regard to their own selves. The player will have to find and extract DNA from every Pokemon that the player sees, the more chances that the player will be able to develop a cure. PAO will feature a Pokemon-like battle system that is true to the original GBA and NDS games

Team Rocket will make an appearance, though they may not be what they seem...

The player cannot use infected Pokemon, at least not till they are cured, the only non-affected Pokemon are those that aren't exactly "real" (Porygon,2,Z, etc)

PAO will feature new Pokemon, as well as variations of existing ones (due to mutations) I have set a max of 151 Pokemon for convenience, choosing which ones to include has been a little difficult... 151 Pokemon may not be the full amount due to mutated versions...

Spoiler:
Actually, I might change "Zombie" to "Mutated", since the virus does cause mutations... Though I may of said to much already, hehe...

Mutated Pokemon can be any type (Normal, Fire, etc) though they may have some additional types...

All ghost types are now classified as Undead. Vampiric Pokemon are really not much different from Zubat, Golbat, Crobat... Other than they walk on two or four legs...

The "PokeRage" virus itself was based on the "Rage" virus in 28 Days/weeks later and the existing PokeRus, though you may have already guessed that...

There will of course be optional things that you can do while your searching for the cure...

An idea might be to add a "Journal" option to the ingame menu, to see what quest you're currently doing, but I'm not close to implementing that yet...

Also, PAO! isn't designed for anyone under 13, I mention one of the big gaming no-no's that would turn a game meant for 8+ to 13+... I am more or less designing it for those that have an idea of the topics within...

This virus has been challenging, but the virus has not spread to some areas yet, use of repel may/may not keep them away... Or make them angrier... Or summon 2 level 100 Mewtwo's... Or not...

Also, I am looking for talented character spriters, If you are interested, send me a PM, or post in this thread, thanks.

yes i got the first post this rocks but anyways nice game i hope it turns out to be something special

Vampire://Krimm September 20th, 2007 5:25 PM

Looking good, but try and add a little interest in Johto; theres already too many remakes, so Johto updated with some new additions would be interesting.

Original plot I must say, it looks good thus far!

NytewolfAU2k7 September 21st, 2007 8:33 AM

Due to version incompatibilities between the latest version of the pokemon starter kit and the one I started using I've had to restart the project, though I have imported all the old maps over so it shouldn't be too much of a problem...

'Small' update:
- Day/Night system has been implemented.
- Route change feature has been implemented.
- A gender option has been added to the intro
- Breeder, Move Deleter and name rater have been implemented
- Marts have been implemented (again)
- Foundations for a Quest Log system have been laid.
- Added foundations for these new Johto locations; Sky city Lacurio, Mt. Corleo, Mt. Rosethorn, Rosehip City, Viridian City, Pihesor River and Tojoh Caverns. Several of these locations are crucial to the story.

Viridian City was moved due to a forest fire in Viridian Forest that claimed the whole city, It now stands at the Johto/Kanto border...

Obviously the quests will be relating to the cure, being a packmule, finding someone, delivering messages...

Another video demo + screens will come soon

Binary September 21st, 2007 9:30 AM

This games looking good.
Good luck on it

Pokemorpher September 21st, 2007 10:51 AM

Looks good but 1 problem

Porygon > Porygon 2 > Porygon 3 > Porygon Z

Whats wrong here :\

Anthacite had the same problem. There is just no way in the pokemon world that there can be a 4 chain evolution otherwise this is lookin good.

NytewolfAU2k7 September 21st, 2007 10:59 AM

Yeah, I know, There's a mistake up there in the new/changed pokemon it, it should be;
Porygon > Porygon 2 > Porygon 3
or
Porygon > Porygon 2 > Porygon Z

depending on item used at the upgrade machine at the lab. I'll change it in a sec.

Thanks for the heads-up :)

However, I am trying to make this unique, don't be surprised to see some weird things, afterall this "PokeRage" virus does strange things to pokemon genes...

Pokemorpher September 21st, 2007 12:06 PM

Ok then im just advising since anthacite had the same problem with Porygon 0.5 and Porygon-x3

NytewolfAU2k7 September 22nd, 2007 2:07 AM

Change of name to avoid confusion with a totally unrelated project, the name is now "Pokemon: Code Biohazard", let me know what you all think :)

NytewolfAU2k7 September 22nd, 2007 7:09 AM

Okay, Nice sprites by the way.

Congratulations! JV12345. You've been hired for the job. I'll contact you via PM in regards to your first task sometime soon.

If I don't contact you it will mean that I'm extremely busy with my work commitments.

NytewolfAU2k7 September 25th, 2007 9:25 AM

First post has been updated with the link to a new demo movie, the movie itself should not be as pixelated as Movie #1....

jonsploder September 30th, 2007 9:40 PM

Triple post????????? I don't think that you should triple post.

NytewolfAU2k7 September 30th, 2007 9:54 PM

Edited the first post to show off the new screens as well as to change the links and other minor things.

The concepts document has also changed, this is available on the website.

Edit: Removed the triple post and added that post after someone elses...
