Having trouble grasping the more advanced scripting. If you get a chance to PM me about it, please do.

Cool idea. I had originally planned on adding a few events from the early movies, but it'll be cool to see a full hack dedicated to it.
Good luck.

It would fix your problem of people removing Pikachu.

That might be a good idea. I'd need help with that though.

Perhaps.. We'll see.

We'll cross that bridge when we get to it. :p I have no idea how I'm going to handle beta testing.. I'll see how Hiroshi does it.

Not every map will be bigger. Everything will be remapped though.

That'll be up to the player. I'll have the Pokemon in the right locations, so the opportunity will be there.

On a more interesting note: I'm currently putting all my time/effort into working out how to make a following script. Although I doubt I will get very far, due to my laziness and lack of attention. :P You'll be the first one I share anything I find with, so you may be getting a PM in the next few days. :)
|
Thanks, and keep me updated. :p That would be amazing, if you could figure it out.

|
Yep, there will be movie events. They won't be any more detailed or special than the episode events though, so if you're looking for a great movie hack, look into Meowth's hack.

Nothing on the right side.. The left side, you'll see. It's all anime related, nothing I made up. :p

Anyway, you've gained my support!

I did a while back. I should probably review them again.

It will get finished. Even if I ever wanted to give it up, I'd make sure someone reliable took over the project.

Short? The episodes I'm drawing inspiration from number into the eighties. Add the few movie events, and possibly the Orange Island story, and you've got a game longer than any of the handheld RPGs. You'll be facing a new event in practically every area.
And a banner, if you want, would be great. You can never have too many banners.

Only where required. We'll keep it to Jessie/James for the most part.

Popular? Noo...
Anyway, thanks. :p
Also, thanks for everyone's patience. Not one comment said anything about my lack of updates. You're all much too polite.. :p
Anyway, as I said, scripting is just hard for me. I've been mapping where possible, and doing basic scripting. Overall, the project is going much slower than I'd've liked. (I had originally wanted the beta done May 23rd. Ha.) Perhaps with help, things will go faster.
I've also been messing around with another project, which I really shouldn't be doing; if I'm this slow with one hack, imagine me splitting time with another. :\ However, I really like the story of my other idea; maybe I'll just make it a fan-story and post it in the Fiction forum.
Anyway, back to PT. It's summer, and I've got Cross Country starting up, along with a possible job. Updates and progress will go faster, I promise. I don't want to give release dates, or get anyone's hopes up, but I really hope to get some sort of playable demo (Probably an Alpha, with a handful of events) out in the coming month. Like I say, however; Don't quote me on this. :p
Thanks guise.
