Pokemon - Chosen Destiny

Thanks for your comments, Jeff :)

An update!
Here's Sea Route 1, with dark patches and some added stuff:


And, I've decided to ditch the dynamic windows (for now, no flaming, please)
Because, I'm able to resize the message windows to be like the pok?mon games!

Examples:
2 Lined text and nearly pokemon sized message windows!

Should I keep the dynamic windows?

No [ 0 ]

Nice screens! The text needs to be moved slightle to the right of the message box though. I say keep the dynamic windows, it adds something unique to your game.

Thanks for your comments, Phoenix :)

The main reasons I ditched the dynamic windows is:
1 > The window would appear all over the place and the player would have to constantly move their eyes from left to right, until it gets fruistrating.
2 > It isn't um..."traditionally" pokemon styled, so, I'm trying to keep the "traditions" of the pokemon games intact.

NOTE:
If you don't understand the second reason, please ignore it, as I was kind of exaggerating with the "traditions" thing, ok?

i like ur screens :)

and yeah, keep ur dynamic windows, i like them.

Ooh...2 votes to keep the windows...
To tell you the truth, I really didn't like them, but, since YOU (The people)
are the ones who are actually going to PLAY the game, so, I must take your opinions.
Anyway, I vote against Dynamic Windows so, No = +1

Anyway, in this vote, I will NOT Cheat in anyway, just I'll vote fairly.
I'll put down the names of those who voted so, I can keep count on who voted already.

This poll will be taken in the BSP Forums as well as Pok?mon Community, so,

Route JML 4:

I've decided to put it in a link, because its width is too big and may mess up the forum layout. It took some time to make it,but, the time was worth it. :)

And Cities & Mottos/Slogans:
Ceruliteak City: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v677/peekimon_gall/cdest_pics/cteak_ingame.png
Cirtcele City: Part 1 | Part 2
It has two parts because the whole slogan won't fit in the second line.
Granrock City: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v677/peekimon_gall/cdest_pics/grock_ingame.png

Those are some of the cities' slogans or mottos.

I'm only guessing but here's the deep water autotile for you.

your map.....

Just an idea to make it look a little better, I saw on one your maps, your trees all have wierd shadow, like one tree has a shadow like its bunched with others. Make the single trees have as much shadow.

@RM2k3kid:
I already have the deep water auto tile. Thanks anyway :)

@StreetxXxBadass:
Which map exactly?

lol I didn't look hard enough I only saw the un-updated version lol.

Well i see it on all the ones that got trees.

Like you lok at the ones that are alone, than also the ones that are on the outside of groups, that have shadow of ones on both sides.

@StreetxXxBadass:
That's how it looks in the official games, I think

@RM2K3Kid:
NO problem, thanks for the auto tile anyway.

-=Edit=-
Who remembers the screenshot while you were choosing your pokemon?
Here's a temporary version of it.
Comments if the box needs improving or what:

Well aprt of it is, but with what i'm saying its like that in the game, with what you have it isn't, not trying to like be mean or anything, just trying to help. Here let me see if i can find something to show.....

Here ya go, this is a pic of route 1 from my game....



In the red is a tree by itself kinda, doesn't have the shadows like i'm saying, red part also shows the outside of the bunch not having shadows, in the blue, trees in a bunch with those shadows. Now yours have the shadows like in the blue. Take out the shadow part on the outside of bunches and off those ones by themselfs.

Does that help??

Oh, now I know what you meant.
But, that is a very minor graphical error which I will change later and not now.
No one has complained about it yet and I've made about 12 Maps with trees and I'm too lazy to change something too minor. Of course, I'll take your suggestion to thought. Thanks, by the way.

Route JML4 looks ok, but there are a few errors i thought i'd point out

a) The rocks look like they're r/s style
b) When the Grass is on those raised rocks, at the end you can see the dungeon looking floor, I have a pic (see blue circle)

The Pokemon Choosing thing looks very original

And i like the sea-route very official looking!

Keep up the good work, I really like this game and how original the map work among other stuff is!

That torchic screens looks cool. I really like the look of the torchic box thingy.

Thanks for all your comments :)

For the Constructive Critiscism of Esai:
a) I like to use a little variety (for the rocks at least)
b) I don't get you.
>> UPDATE >>
Ok, here's the upgraded version of choosing your pokemon.
The colors are based on the pokemon's elements:
Bulbasaur >>

Torchic >>

Totodile >>

Comments, please.

Looks very cool, like the bar on the right of the pokemon box.
