Kanto starters will probably be available next beta, you'll only be able to pick one though.



You can already buy Pokemon, I think i'll add an option somewhere. The only problem with that is, it'll be really easy to make money, if say you buy a 200 dollar pokeball catch a rattata sell it for more than 200. If it was a mass scale thing you could hit 999999 really easily. Legendaries will be featured post game, so that'll be quite awhile a way.

Then you could limit Pokeballs by making them only obtainable, not for sale.

And, hey, any plans of adding an element of distinction of the hero's sprite? I don't think the normal Team Rocket uniform looks well. Or at least take off the hat.

True. But a ratatata doesn't have to be the price of a pokeball. You could make it 100 $ if you sell it.
 
I just played through this as far as I can go and I've got to say that it is amazing! I love the idea of playing as a Rocket. I can tell there are some bugs you have to work out, but overall I found it fantastic. I'll keep an eye out for when you have a completed version out :)
 
Just saying this, not like it might matter too much. In Lavender town in the rocket secret base under the channeler's tent, if you click whatever the machinery is that are in front of the rocket guys (like the one who asks you if you want to go back up) it'll turn into a PC, then if you click the PC again another hovers over it. Also if you try to go back to the event where you fought mr. fuji as a boss fight, he reappears and it gets all glitchy. You also don't keep that third rocket badge thing you got when you get to the helicopter. Anyways.. I really love this game, great job Bayer.

Thanks for your support, these glitches have been fixed for the new release!

How do I steal pokemon? It be freaking awesome to steal from an officer jenny!

Stealing pokemon in trainer battles is unfortunately still not possible, what you can do, is interact with overworld pokemon or certain trainers that will give you the pokemon after they're defeated.

That was only really an example, but I'll think about implementing it in the next beta.

I don't plan on changing the hero sprite no. The aim is that the player is just any ordinary grunt, he just happens to be competent for once. I do have plans for the post-game involving a sprite change.
 
^ Yes! A sprite change.^_^

Okay, I will be supporting this hack.
 
A suggestion that comes to mind. If anyone's familiar with Pokemon Light Platinum, you could obtain that Team Steam Uniform and it changes your sprite. If people want that much distinction from the regular sprite, somehow obtaining different uniforms would be cool, but still being able to go back to your regular grunt uniform.

Which means more work, and it only changes the OW sprite. A change in the trainer sprite in whole would be way better.

It's actually more closely related to what Hekset said. Basically in the post game, an event will occur in which your OW will change, as will your back sprite and trainer sprite. This is fairly easy to do with JPANs engine. This will be fairly far in the future though hahah.

LP's sprite change only applies to the OW, though.
And, at least it's still more work. ^_^
 
Well, I'm no real expert on this kind of stuff anyways. Just saying what I wanted to.

Fire Red! I believe its somewhere on the first post. I'll make it more clear.

It's certainly possible, I plan on doing that definitely. I'll look into it more. I forget whether the Team Steam sprite change is reset after warping though.

Yeah but LP is on a ruby rom. Using the Fire Red Hacked engine, it's possible to change the front, back and OW sprites after setting certain variables.

I wish you the best of luck with this.
Alot of Team Rocket hacks seem to die, despite being brilliant.
The maps are good, and the new overworlds too.

Will you be updating all the overworlds to that style?
 
team rocket here i come :P
 
I just played through the hack (assuming it ends after the Lavender Town mission) and it has been a great experience so far. I have enjoyed the variety of types that you can catch at this stage, the stealing and the missions. Sometimes levels seem steep in places (such as the Celadon buildings), but that can add to the fun of it sometimes so that isn't really a bad thing. Loved the events in this game so far too!
