Pokemon Champion is back!

[Jeff_PKLight]

Hmm.. looks neat, but the size is too long. :D I'm not good judging fusions though, as I'm not a big fan of fusions...

For the name, perhaps Graten?

 

[Raccoon]

What do you mean, the size is too long?

 

[Jeff_PKLight]

Pokemon sprites are usually 64x64 in size. :)

 

[Peekimon]

Me thinkies, he meant like, it's not the usual size as the usual pokemon (64x64).
And, the sprite really looks cool, very professional looking, too.

I liked the demo, but it lagged...alot...

Anyways, I noticed one error. When Paris's Charmander used Growl against be, it lowered my defense. That is wrong. In the gameboy games, growl lowers attack, not defense.
Just something I felt I should point out.

 

[Raccoon]

For maximum performance with the demo, close all other programs.
Press F5 or F4 for smaller screen.

If you have a slow computer, that may be the main problem.

Thanks for mentioning that error, but it has already been noted. ;)

 

[Kyle_Katarn]

Soo, any more updates (BTW I have PMed you asking something)

 

[Raccoon]

Well, I'm thinking of implementing an entirely new system, which I don't know if it will be possible.
I had an idea that you would be able to fight two or more wild pokemon at one time. Meaning, that they can attack you in groups. Not all Pokemon hunt in groups so it would be like you could get attacked by 3 Rattata.
What do you think? I want an opinion before we even consider starting to code it etc.

 

[Burninating_Torchic]

nah, don't do it, it would be an unfair fight first of all and second of all it wouldn't be true to previous pokemon games.

 

[Raccoon]

Saying that, we don't need to follow exactly as the other pokemon games do. We're aiming for a bit of originality in gameplay.
Anyway, in the Pokemon TV series, Ash always gets ambushed by big bunches of beedrill's and stuff.

 

[Burninating_Torchic]

true, but ash's Pikachu is at least level 150. My theory on him is that he used gameshark, that's how his Pikachu can OHKO a ground type with a thunder attack(First Movie while the opening credits roll). Normal pokemon can't usually take on more then one other pokemon at a time, unless there is a drastic difference in level.

Anyways, I closed all other programs and the demo was lag free, but I did notice one thing while playing; the wild pokemon spawn rate is too low. Throughout the entire demo, I only found ONE wild Pokemon. Is this intentional?

 

[Raccoon]

Wasn't intentional no. The spawn rate differs all the time.

 

[Jordan]

That's weird. I found lots of wild pokemon, and caught one too ( Rattata ).

 

[Superiority]

That's weird. I found lots of wild pokemon, and caught one too ( Rattata ).

Same here,rattata as well..

 

[Burninating_Torchic]

yeah the only one I saw was a pidgey, which I did catch, but the point is that it's weird I only found one pokemon-and it wasn't until the area right before Orch Cave, either.

 

[Raccoon]

Oh one thing you may have realised, is that the Pokemon take longer to defeat etc, and that your party takes longer to level up. This is an issue that will be fixed soon and the updated battle system in the newest demo.

 

[Jordan]

Yeah and I actually lost one time, you hear me? I lost.

 

[Raccoon]

I lose all the time in Pokemon Champion. Especially at the first trainer. :P

 

[Burninating_Torchic]

I lose all the time in Pokemon Champion. Especially at the first trainer. :P

ooh, so do I...I needed 2 potions on that guy because bulba was my only Pokemon.

 

[Datriot]

I think Champion was easy, catching the Pokemon was eay too, I htink you should make it harder not easier.
