[Release] Pokemon Aria [DEMO 2.6 OUT NOW 8 HOURS OF GAMEPLAY 3 GYMS SHADOW POKEMON NEW UI AND VISUAL REHAUL ]

UPDATE:
Pokemon Aria is no longer being worked on



About

Hello, and thanks for checking the thread for Pokemon Aria. Pokemon Aria started as a ROM hack in late 2012, throughout the years it has progressed to its current form as a game made in Pokemon Essentials, this incarnation of Aria has been in development for about 6 months. I am mostly doing it as a learning experience for later games I am involved in. The point of Aria is to be a relatively small game that people can play quickly.

The Region​

Spoiler:

Throughout Aria you will be exploring the Lua Region a vastly diverse region filled will tons of different types of Pokemon. Travel from the Snowy Peaks of Harmonic Villa to the urban alleys of Tempra City. The thing that sets Lua apart is its Battle Frontiers instead of a typical set of gyms. The Facilities have combinations of types instead of a single, and their teams are meant to be difficult often built around the glaring type disadvantages they have.​

Story

The story starts with you receiving a letter from the Lua Region Professor Board saying you are able to choose your Starter Pokemon from your areas professor. When you arrive at Professor Pine's Lab he gives you the choice of Oshawott, Tepig, and Snivy. This is also when you are introduced to your only rival Belle. Belle acts like May in the sense that she focuses on filling the Pokedex instead of worrying about challenging the Battle Frontier Facilities. During the main story, you encounter a group of people known as Team Discord, all you know is that they plan on using strange Pokemon with Purple Auras...


Features​

-Gen 5 Battle System
-Save States, just like Rom hacks you can save up to 9 different states!
-Shadow Pokemon, new and old Shadow Pokemon return like XD001!
-7 Battle Frontiers with unique locations for the Facilities!
-Old Pokemon Have new types Like a Dragon Grass Serperior or a Fire Dark type Emboar

Screenshots​

Here are a few more, I'll be updating them once a week hopefully :)

Spoiler:

This one is featuring a recurring NPC you find throughout the game, you will only see him twice in the demo though

This is the starting town the Harmonic Villa it's small and has few residents and is almost the most northern point in the Lua Region

This is just a picture of the second rival battle like I said earlier Belle plays a more passive role in the game compared to other rivals in main series games

Screenshots from the 2.0 Update:

Spoiler:

Updated Screenshots 5/1/16:

These are all screenshots of new 2.0 areas, they are still being worked on so they might not look like how they do now when I release 2.0

Hello.I would like to report a bug.As soon as i try to start the encounter at the summit peak (Allen),the following error pops.
Script 'Interpreter'line 276:RuntimeError occurred.
Script error within event2,map15(Battle Summit Peak):
Exception:RuntimeError
Message: Section054:393:in 'load_bitmap'Failed to load the bitmap
Downloaded the version 1.1.

 

[HersheysPink]

Downloaded 1.1 and I keep getting this error while fighting Belle after getting my starter in the lab.

 

[Godlike]

How far does the 1.1 demo go?

 

[bryanLroberts13]

How far does the 1.1 demo go?

The demo goes to the second battle facility but it has about 3 and half hours of game!

Downloaded 1.1 and I keep getting this error while fighting Belle after getting my starter in the lab.

Sometimes Pokemon Essentials gives weird errors and since I'm not a programmer I don't really have a fix besides just making a new save file, I'm really sorry about this but I'm generally unhappy with version 1.0 and hoping 2.0 will fix a lot of the issues I have with it

 

[Calmost]

Hello.I have to report a bug.When u start a new game,u have already a female character with a name given (not that i really mind) the real issue is that u are already in the second city with no pokemon

Spoiler:

in the event for the pokedex in the researcher's lab which causes a lot of things to be buggy or the story works backwards

Thanks in advance

This error has come up before, but I don't know what causes it, my only advice is to start a new file and save before the first rival battle. I can't replicate the error on my own. Sorry for the inconviences

I started a new save file 3 times already and it keeps giving me that same error where I cannot battle the rival. It seems like I cannot actually play this game and it looks really nice too. Oh well.

I actually think I have a fix, uploading an update right now, hopefully it works!

 

[bryanLroberts13]

Ok guys, I managed to replicate the bug on my own but I had to mess with files in the Dev build of the game. So version 2.5 should have the fix. If it doesn't work, I have no idea what could be causing it. As usual, you should download the new version to fix the bug!

 

[Lyfegurl]

I'm sorry to say that the fix didn't work. I've been trying to play this game for a while now and I still get the script error when Belle tries to battle you at the lab. Was really looking forward to finally playing the game.

I'm going to be uploading a data folder that you can replace the current data folder with. It changes the event so that it's an optional event. This bug has been a pain for a really long time, and hopefully nothing else goes wrong *crosses fingers*

 

[bryanLroberts13]

Again, I am deeply sorry for the issues with this bug, I do have a fix. If you download the data patch and replace the current data folder with the new one the event that bugs out is now optional. It's really rough because it's a hotfix but in 3.0 the event will be cleaner and fit better with the story

 

[Calmost]

Hello.I would like to report an error. When i start the game,i get this error:
Script 'Title screen' Line17: NameError occured.
uninitialized constant PBSspecies
It's the version 2.6 with the replaced rgssad file.
Keep up the good work

 

[Letrax]

I dont want to seem haughty.
I have not played it myself but from the screenshots
you posted the mapping needs work.
Everything is like angular.

 

[Amourshippingfan23]

I got the same error as Calmost

 

[eMCee82]

I'm gonna try this game ;)

I got the same error too when I tried to update the patch :(
