I don't even want to pretend that I understand what I just read in Proceleon's last post..

But I have to say that I cannot wait to play this!

I am one of the poor souls that can't stand playing handheld games, so I buy a copy of the legit game and download a rom of it. Ultimately, this led me to rom hacking. Bought a copy of Y a long while back and have been waiting for what seems like an eternity hoping for a rom of it (and a working emulator for it)

The wait... is nearly over... THANK YOU!

Oh, and quick question.. Is Vulpix going to be obtainable in XY PCE? If not, I am giving an everstone to Fennekin. While it isn't a Vulpix, it is a fire fox, and it is cute~ Too bad it's only 12.5% female chance :/ Oh well, can't win 'em all.

Keep up the great work! I'll definitely be checking this thread for updates multiple times a day! x3

As a follow-up question from the previous post, will there be online capability? for example, the only way to get Vulpix is to breed Ninetails, and the only way to get Ninetails if from the friend safari. To have the friend safari work, we'd need to add other players, and then based on some variable, or even simpler, our trainer ID's, we'd be assigned a certain type. It would actually be really cool to see something like that, and if multi-player function is planned (such as trading or battling) then there isn't any reason to not throw this in as well.

So Vulpix won't be obtainable within XY PC without online trading? That's not exactly what I was hoping for, but I suppose it's time I found a second favorite Pokemon anyway.

Thank you for responding~ I can't wait for this to have a release! :)

Keep up the great work, everyone!

Oh, I see.

Looks like I'll have my work cut out for me just trying to get Vulpix on my team lol.

Oh, quick question. Will it be possible to complete the Pokedex without trading from other players? For the in-game region. (Kalos, I believe?)

Off topic: I just realized I have no idea how many entries the Kalos Pokedex has. That's kind of sad.

If you split the versions you could have it be a variable that is randomly chosen from 1 or 2, and that changes the in-game trades to that of the pokemon unobtainable in the version, and the encounters to the ones for that specific version.

It's refreshing to hear there will be online capability.

Its being made in c# so things not in essentals or diffacult are being added
Yes I know it isn't made in essentials, but I assume there is a way to create a variable that changes certain things based upon it. Of course I'm just guessing, I have no knowledge of C#, so you know better.

Anyway good luck

I'm curious, have you decided how the X/Y starters will be available for capture?

In many hacks, I see the starters moved to areas where you might find Pokemon of their type (Totodyle in surf areas, Bulbasaur in forests, etc) but there's always the option of making them event (or side-quest) Pokemon.

Just thought I'd ask what you were planning, or if you had given this any thought yet.

Thanks~! Still eagerly awaiting the Beta! :3

Thanks guys for making this project, after scams of 3DS emulators we have finally got it on PC! BTW I have a question;

Will you be able to go to an another region? Not to be greedy but it would be cool if it was like HGSS where you can go to Johto and Kanto.

I suggest that you can make the player go to Kalos and Hoenn.

And will there be Mega Yveltal?

Controls WASD or arrows?

thank you and sorry for lots of questions

What's ORAS? Sorry for the noob question (if it is one, don't know lol)

Will every key be configurable? I've been playing a slightly similar game (based on XY as well, I believe) but the keys are stacked based on just 3 keys and the movement controls, so the B button (default is X key, along with like 5 other keys that do the exact same thing) not only closes (most) dialogue boxes, but also opens the menu. Not sure if this is just me, or if it's a common thing, but when healing Pokemon at a Pokemon Center, I use the A key (usually Z in emulators, for me) to advance up to and hit "Yes" to heal, and then use the B key (again, usually X in emulators) to finish out, so I don't talk to the NPC again. Spamming the key after healing usually leads me to open the menu because of the keymap sharing the B key with the open menu function.

Just a little annoyance to me. I guess the real question is this: Will the key map be based on the game itself, emulators, or a true "Custom" key map?

PS: Is ORAS something to do with Pokemon XY? If so, never mind my first question.
PPS: Nevermind isn't a word? Never knew that. Auto-spell check is showing that it's an error. I guess I should have known it though.
PPPS: Yes, I'm weird. But doing this saves me from editing or adding additional paragraphs that are completely off topic.

EDIT: "Shopping link added by SkimWords" is that part of the forum? I was looking through my add-ons and my plug-ins but I couldn't find anything related to SkimWords. If it's a forum plug-in, then that's fine, but if not then I need to find a way to remove it. Quite annoying lol.

How configurable the keys. HOW CONFIGURABLE ARE THE KEYS!? ..................... Very might even include some gamepad support just because i like them. (Got to love the dramitic build up XD)
and ORAS is short for Omega Ruby Alpha Sapphire.

LOL

Thanks for the explanations :)

ORAS.. Why not just call them RS+ or something? (This is a rhetorical question, aimed more so at Pokemon and Gamefreak than anyone here) ORAS makes me think of some crazy experiment of a web browser... Don't ask...

Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, or OR and AS for short ;) They won't be called RS+ since we plan for the player to follow to ORAS storyline.

Q: What about the levels?
A: You won't be able to use you Kalos team until after the 8th gym of Hoenn, this because I don't want the levels to be extremely low.

And why would we call it RS+? What if ORAS has got a few storyline changes? We won't call it RS+. We could've called XY PC just XY+ then ;)

Anyways... PEOPLE! Thanks for your support untill now! :D

Response to underlined text: I meant why didn't Game Freak use the acronym RS+ when they released the games. Pretty sure I made that clear in my earlier post..

Also, this story begins in Hoenn? I was under the impression that it begins in Kalos and THEN moves to Hoenn.

This made my friggen day. I'm a pc gamer because it's easier and cheaper (thank you steam) and I love my 360 controller. Finally a Pokemon experience with quality controls (Not hating on handhelds I love em to death just saying we need more console pokemon).

No no no xD The story doesn't begin in Hoenn, the DLC will begin in Hoenn though :P Your impression was right ;)

As for why gamefreak didn't use RS+ for a name:

The team aqua and magma logo's resemble the alpha and omega symbols ;) And let's not forget that Primal Kyogre has got one of those two on his fins.

Ah, I see. Thank you for explaining that. Still, ORAS is a bit much.. RBG, GSC, RS, FRLG, HGSS, BW, B2W2, XY, and ORAS... it seems like they keep getting more complex then they give us a break.. then they throw even more complex acronyms at us. Annoying to type them up lol.

Primal Kyogre... Kyogre was by far my favorite Pokemon from Hoenn. By the time I got him/it to 80, I could solo the E4 with him/it. Makes me wonder how much stronger Primal Kyogre is.. And how much stronger the E4 is!

Too bad ORAS are on the 3DS :/ Doubt I'll ever get one.

That leads me to wonder.. will we see Primal Kyogre in XY PC?
