Super Pokemon Eevee Edition [v 0.1]

Hey its Raonak/Darkdoom3000 you may remember me,
I made Pokemon Illusion back in the day.
anyways here's
my new project

Super Pokemon Eevee Edition (SPEE)



Just started making this after HG/SS reignited
my passion for rpgmaker.
Yeah, I'm using RPG Maker 2003.
Read my sig if you want a reason.

But yeah. Just started it.
I decided to go use the GSC graphics,
because of nostalgia or something. And hey, It's something diffrent.
and its got a storyline that explains the graphics.

Why is it named Eevee edition you ask?
well, because you obtain an eevee, who has the ability to evolve, and de-evolve at will (more or less)
at the start of the game you have access to 3 forms, (eevee, vaporeon and jolteon)
and along the way to obtain more forms. (flareon, espeon, umbreon, leafeon and glaceon are in this game)


You gotta wonder, do even the offical pokemon games
have more than 3 paragraphs worth of story?
Odd rule, but whatever.

Semi finalized Story::


heres some of my earlier plots that were thrown out the window.

Plot A


Story B


Campain C


Actually I liked Campain C. so i decided to make it into a minigame.


Basically pokemon shoved into an RPG frame.

~130 Pokemon. To keep in with the theme, and my laziness, only 130
Pokemon from gen 1 and 2.
-4 Pokemon per party.
-All Pokemon out in battle. Yeah. all 4 of your Pokemon vs
the enemy team

-Active Battle System. A la Final fantasy (well, most before X)
-Infinite Movelist. Pokemon can learn as much attacks as they want.
-No more HM's. In a way. EG: HM1 Cut replaced by Chainsaw.
-DMs. Direct Machines. Each contain a move,
Like TMs but used in battle to do a one time attack,
regardless of what Pokemon uses it.

-Refining System. More on it below
-Equipment
-Super Eevee
-Trophies (if you have a Ps3/360 then you know this)
-Active Evolution. Enemy pokemon can now evolve mid battle making things more intense.

-Super Gru minigame.
-No more pokeballs!




In SPEE, upon defeating a Pokemon, there's a chance (usually 50%)
that they'll drop an item. The item is useless on its own.
You can't even sell it for much.
That's where the refining system comes in.
You turn the useless item into a useful one.
(If you've played FF8 then you know it)

EG:



Eeveelution system [DONE]
DMs [DONE]
TMs [DONE]
Evolution system [DONE]-applied 9 pokemon)
47 Pokemon fully Programmed
99% of items programmed (can always be more)
99% of attacks programmed (can always be more)
100% Battle System (its the default RM2003 battle system)
99% Graphics Done
10 items refine-able.
-mapping
4/? Towns done
5/? Routes done
1/? Forests done
2/? Caves done







Whatever. download it if you want.
v 0.1
It has 2 towns, 5 routes, 1 cave,
2 Pokemon (eevee and one of the 3 kanto starters)

http://www.megaupload.com/?d=7YIRCI1O

<WARNING: 9mb download!!!!>
<WARNING 2: Faint = Game Over. No poke center nonsense>
Save file should be forward compatible.
so don't have to worry about loosing progress when
a new version comes out.



"Super Pokemon Eevee Edition"! The project was nameless for quite
a while, honestly, I just finialized the name and made
the title screen today.

I was thinking


I settled on Pokemon Eevee Version but Eevee edition is
far easier to say than "eevee version".
So " Pokemon Eevee Edition" problem was the acronym
became PEE.
So i added a Super to the front = SPEE.


Nintendo
Gamefreak
Raonak (ripping/scripting/mapping/storyline))
Sony (trophy jingle)
Kojima Productions (Codec Call)
SquareEnix (FF8 Music)
Nintendo (pokemon music)
Enterbrain (for making RPGmaker)
Hawk (?)- (for making IDraw)

That idea is so crazy, it just might work! But some tiles just don't fit with the GSC graphics.

I love it! Keep it up! I'll be watching this project, and the Evve de-evolving and re-evolving is something I've always wanted to implement in a game, nice work =)

I came into the thread with slightly lowered expectations, but ended up pleasantly surprised. =D The game looks like fun, although I'd work on your HUD a bit, especially for the battles. You can make it tidier, less empty space, etc while still using GSC graphics.

You've got me interested. Keep going!

Yay replies :D

thanks for the support, Im just trying something different.

Most of the tiles were ripped from G/S/C, recolored tho
(the colours were... really bland in the emulator)

anyways status update.
- Refining has been moved to the PC in the poke center.

-Still updating the amount of refining options.
right now its somewhat small.


-Man-Man 2000 Pocket System. Its a new "Minigame" that ive made.
Its.. sorta like a virtual pet, meaning it runs realtime,
but you dont need to feed it or anything,
Its entirely automated meaning you can leave it on,
while you go train pokemon, get badges etc.



---
Im gonna add in some 3/4 gen pokemon as wild pokemon,
They'll tie in to the storyline.
Ive already "devamped" a few sprites.



might have to add in the evolution to sneasel now...

---
I need a storyline to get this posted on the showcase,
so I've crafted a clever storyline.

This looks like a lot of fun. I wouldn't have thought of putting that kind of spin on Pokémon.

I'm not too keen on some of the names, though (Gru?).

Oh noes a gru!!

This looks cool, eevee was always awesome but being able to switch between its evolutions? epic.

Gru has nothing to do with the actual storyline, hes just in a minigame. so you dont have to worry about stupid stuff like gru or Dr. chickenman in the actual game.

UPDATE 19/2/10

A semi new feature. Active Evolution. Enemy pokemon have the ability to evolve mid battle.

imagine youre fighting a metapod... ya know. easy. All its doing is harden itself. you've shaved off half its hp. then all of a sudden. It evolves into a butterfree. and kicks your a$$.

Not all pokemon will active evolve.

Not only is it for cool factors, but evolved Pokemon drop better items.


----

Yeah, more storyline stuff completed. when wondering the forest, you see weird pixelated stuff. One of them actually attacks you. After defeating it you get sent to the "otherworld". A mess of tiles at first, but you find its a recreation of your home town.

Speaking to a entity called M, reveals that A new generation is comming, and thus, the destruction of the generation 2 world.

M will then teleport you back to the second generation, to await "Further Instructions"
Once you are back, new pokemon appear all over the world. one of the signs of a new generation


------------

heres the world map for thoes intrested. Green is a route, grey is a town/city, brown is a mountain, yellow-green is a forest, park, creek, etc.


-----
Finally ripped the Oak sprite!! yay, the old man placeholder is gone. Im actually starting to miss him...
-----

Currently doing:
-Mapping
-adding a corrupted golem event, It's a totally optional sidequest, a corrupted golem is in a cave terrorizing hikers. anyway you can go deep into the cave to fight it. Corrupted pokemon are diffrent coloured pokemon, which have red eyes, have no visible Level, are usually strong, and can have attacks they dont normally learn. Basically they act as Traditional boss monsters. Anyways, if you enter the battle, you'll fight a bluish graveler. after shaving off half its HP, it will evolve into a Golem which will give it a big stat increase.
Actually defeating the golem (with your eevee on vaporeon mode i hope) the golem will de-evolve into a geodude, who will join your party. yay.
-Fixing some evolution quirks. (not eevee related, eevee uses a diffrent system process than other pokemon, )

Finally! A reasonable and logical use for M! The whole "it's a Virus Pokémon" was always a terrible idea, but having it be spawned from the incompatibilities between two Generations... Brilliant.

And it doesn't even need to be a Pokémon here. It could be a person caught in the corruption, which is why it can talk. The one you battle before being sent to the Other World can be a glitched Pokémon, different to M.

This game is looking magnificent! I love the G/S/C graphics. Good way to be original.

Great use for M. I am looking forward for another demo/ release.

Man, I was just reading through here. The idea is brilliant. I love how M is the product of two different generations, and changing the world, like glitch city. I also love how this is Gen II specific, I haven't seen that in a while. Keep up the amazing work, and I will anticipate the next update.

thanks for the support :D

@hybrid trainer
wow! thats for that link! No more needing to rip resorces as i play through gold! yay!
hmm, a whole battle animation set aswell... I might go change the battle animations into the pokemon G/s/c ones.

UPDATE

Just slowly been programming in all the pokemon stats and stuff.
--
Ive changed the battle backgrounds a bit, Ive a scrolling background in the battle scene.
Im unsure about it. It looks cool, but could make people get dizzy.
--
Heres the List of catchable pokemon in SPEE.
Took me some time finalizing it, had to
axe some of my favourites due to too much of a certain type etc.
I may take requests. I do feel like adding in some
3rd generation ones in there, because now I can due to the
way the storyline has evolved.
It mostly sticks to gen 1 and 2. with 3 exceptions, which will be explained via storyline.



Originally, pokeballs were going to be banned.
which is why you have to get pokemon via quests and stuff.
But, I thought it would be better,
if pokeballs acted as they did in the normal games,
Except, whenever you go to a mart, theyre out of stock.
It's gonna be a running joke.
Everytime a character tries to give you one, something occurs.
maybe the ball is broken, or a Pokemon steals it, etc.

--
Im trying to make it so your eevee will always follow you, like pokemon yellow. hopefully i get it working.
EDIT: Screw it. its just too hard getting it to follow you properly through each map.

--
Ive edited the first post, hopefully this can get moved to the game development page now :)

----------------

SECOND EDIT:

RPG maker lets you have diffrent battle system setups. im using the traditional currently, but
im probably going to switch to alternative, due to auto battle mode.

heres the upsides of each.

Traditional
. Shows enemy name

Alternative
. Shows MP (PP) next to HP
. Allows you to pause in battle
. Allows auto battling. just select auto, then your pokemon will attack without instructions.

You wont be able to see enemy name nor level. which isnt much of a downside because
you cant catch wild pokemon anyway.

This looks very interesting, I like the basic plot of it, the only thing I want to know is... Why Eevee? He/She is cute in all but it a very new going with a normal type instead of a grass, water or fire....

IDK it just might work

Thats cool verrrrry coool:):):):):)

This looks totally awesome :)

Sweet I think this will be AMAZING

:D I love this game so much!! The story idea is fantastic - You don't normally see such ingenuity in a Pokemon storyline <3 - and I love how you came up with a workable [and pretty cool!] idea for evolving up and down the line with Eevee.

Using the GSC stuff is also an awesome idea ^`^ It's nice to see something different! I still like to play the old Gen1/2 stuff, not much into Gen3, I liked FRLG though [Maybe 'cos it was Gen1 all over again xD] and while I love my SoulSilver thinking about putting SS graphics into this game...nooo! It just wouldn't work as well as this does! :D

D: Unfortunately I can't see to get the download to work..I mean it starts and everything but I've tried a few of times now and it always gets stuck at 6.4mb downloaded :/
Do you have any idea why it does this? >.< Also, could you maybe, if it's not too much of a bother[feel free to say no! 0.0;] could you maybe email it to me or...something 'x3

I really wanna try this game, even if it is just a 2-town demo!

:D btw, I LOVE the devamped sprites! Always fun ^`^
