Yes all the stuff I'm talking about up to date will be in beta 2 unless specified. This makes everything except everything related to rainbowpolis (except the sign, which will actually be at the very end of the beta).

 

[Virtual Chatot]

Every level, from 1 to 100, unless it already knows it (because you can't learn an attack twice).
Also it'll have 3 PP because experience says it used to fail (ninjice is very fast. Also, this makes a less random result than sketch, since once it attacked you, it's now your turn, so you can decide if you want to copy that attack or not).


Edit: I've been working on that bif fat sign I mentioned before. It's done

If there's anybody from Nevada, he'll be proud of seeing this (or maybe not)

Edit2: reuploaded pic, forgot the fabulous. But I wrote it so fast you haven't noticed

Amazing Baro xD
I can't wait to see it in action.

It would be cool if you could make the letter flash on and off.

I don't want to mess with animations YET

but for beta 2 I'm planning on looking some animation data and see if there's something that makes sense for me, something on the like of "time of frame - pointer of frame" or stuff like that. After all, rainbowpolis will have a lot of casinos and such, the type of things that need some flashing lights.

2 Quick questions, are you going to be able to get money in exchange for the coins, and are you going to be able to exchange for Pokemon. If you haven't thought of it yet, just ignore this post.

Nah, casinos will be for the usual thing. Coins for prizes, including some pokemon

Casino's, flashy stuff, signey (lol), and other cool stuff:shocked:
This is going to be awesome!
So the flashy stuff and rainbowpolis wont be in b2. Or will they?
Either way this hack is looking good. I played b1 ages ago and the new stuff (skateboard etc) is nice. However, like quartz there is still some old scripts laying there e.g: old man wont let you pass, fossil guy, and the second gym is (still :() water. But apart from that this hacks looking good especially with the new tilesets and Ponge. i want one lol. They are sooo adorable. Apart from that i cant wait till b2.
Kepp up the good work and....
This hack is looking super awesome

Well, I just said I'll check them out, not that I'd get any results for the animations, but it'll be a cool thing if I get it.

And about the old scripts, I leave them because I can, not because I can't replace them, so I personally don't care about it. Remaking hundreds of scripts would be a time loss. Instead, I just script when I need it. That's how lazy I am.

Right now I'm making ponge's evolution, pongstar. It's a cluster of 4 ponges forming a 4 point star. Then I'll make the pokemon in lapra's slot, and that'll be all by now, because mewtwo's slot will probably be done in a far future.

EDIT
Also, on more exciting live updates, I've just done Ayayaye, an extinct POKéMON, and last (except for the legendary which blah blah blah I think I said it too many times already) of the set, so only one for 151, let's consider all of them for all your gameplay until Agracekan's prison.

Also remade mimikat's front sprite which was a bit too ugly for such a cute pokemon. I'm going to do this for next generation too, for some old quartz pokemon. For example, I'm consideering on redoing Babos and Osoe -horror!- and put them in some jotho slots.

EDIT 2
Didn't know what to do next so felt like uploading latest work

Ayayaye is based in the Giant Aye-aye, an animal extinct not so long ago

 

[Superjub]

Cool, more awesome sprites. The new mimikat front sprite looks good. Along with ponges evolution and Ayayaye. Keep up the great work :)

 

[adamb241]

Cool sprites, they look awesome.

Hi Baro, good to see you keep working on improving your old Quartz sprites. I really dont understand what's that multi-eyed thing, so I prefer that black mouse to its right. I think that one is pretty cute ^^ (is it a dark typer?)

Nice sign, even if it doesn't flash, at least I'm sure you'll have to research a bit to make Rainbowpolis a place with many flashing lights everywhere, if it's supposed to look as Vegas (dont get lazy :P)

I was thinking (well, dont remember if you've said it) if Rainbowpolis will have a kind of transportation system, considering it's gonna be quite big (something like buses)

Well, I know it's hard to deal with Uni and hacking at the same time, so try to survive doing it! >.<
Good luck!

Ayayaye is actually an ape, but I'm aware it looks like a mouse. I didn't want to make a monkey face, and actually that made the difference. It's normal/dark type.

Yeah, the lights thing is just a project, ideas in mind. But well, with lights or not, There will be a lot of things in rainbowpolis. I'm planning on making 7 neighborhoods, one for each rainbow color, and in each one there'll be different things. For example, in the red neighborhood there will be the "club" I mentioned pages ago (don't worry I'll take it fully worksafe and ****) in honor to my trip to Amsterdam and its red light district (don't take me wrong I went there during the day and didn't even open my pocket, ALRIGHT?), the yellow neighborhood will be japantown (chinatown but with jakuzas instead of triads), a neighborhood for the casinos, another one for the shopping center, another one for a skatepark and so on. To stand all this hugeness, I'm planning of making a subway, since every city in the pokemon world is for pedestrians only. Also, having 7 stations helps.
This way, Rainbowpolis will be like 7 towns joined together.

This week I've finished and checked all the attack lists except legendaries. Not too much, but started a game -and finished- in golden sun 2 and that took most of my time.

subways eh? sounds quite cool, maybe they can become available after doing something?

No, unless "doing something" means paying a 100 pokeyen ticket.

But, maybe it'd be cool if some event takes place at the subway. Gotta think about it.

Foxy: Lol, Blowtax may have your 10bux, lol.

Dude, you were banned? :( I really loved the Let's Play of Quartz. LPs are why I started playing romhacks in the first place.

Either way that cracked me up.

I was banned off SA for saying "for the lulz" in my first post. Lowtax did a massive banning for this, which is completely absurd and scamming being it a board where you have to pay $10 to register, which is already absurd by itself (troll free? Blowtax is the biggest troll on the internets!). Zorak (dunno if that was his name on the board) said that the comments on that where "hints for me to edit my post" YEAH SURE LIKE EVERYBODY EXPECTED THAT AND AVOIDED TELLING ME. Well, I won't complain about it because being that the attitude of SA mods trolls I don't want to be in SA. Also, it's not up for me to complain: it was Zorak's ten bux, not mine. Like if I cared for him after that hypocrite thing he said.


Back to topic (and back to board):

I'm going to put, as part of the plot (because glass army will be around), a policeman in whiteclay town looking for Kid, Curry and Darkoon (just to remind you, in beta 2, after the train, they'll appear with a darkoon which is Meowth's equivalent from Team Rocket to Glass Army. It's a darkoon that talks and all that stuff, like meowth). He will talk to you and show you 'photos' of them, this is: I'm making sprites of their faces and put them in the infamous 25 free slots between celebi and treecko, since I'm assuming they have to cry (I hope I'm right) and use the 0x75th command to show them. I'll see if I can show more than one at once (when I discovered that command, I saw you could place it anywhere, and that you'd have to use a command to close it, so theoretically it would be possible).
I'll also put a "WANTED" sign with almost the same script.

I have already drawn Kid, now I'm drawing Curry, and depending on my laziness I'll draw darkoon's face then (If I'm not in the mood to, I'll just use darkoons everyday sprite)

 

[destinedjagold]

Zorak has been getting on my nerves lately, too...
Anyways, nothing I can do about his absnse of respect...

Back to the topic, I am looking forward for all the new things you added in the hack, Baro...
Also, I just remembered the question I really wanna ask you...
What does 'The long life' mean in the hack name?

Best of luck!

Are you going to pay at the station then when you get on board, you could have someone block off one exit and another goes to the station.

In quartz, Kawa was said to be more than 200 years old if I remember correctly. Baro is supposed to be around 216 years too, and that's mentioned a lot here.

The main storyline in marble is all about that. Glass Army is looking for the same thing that made Baro and Kawa stop ageing, the source of eternal youth.
