[In Progress] Pokemon Decimation (CHAPTER 2 is now available)

[luisserpa]

yea but come one dude nobody like miltank .... but yea i get it .....
and i like Pidgeot more then any other bird :(

well, normally Pidgeot is not a good mon, but since it doesn't have its mega, it got buffed, not only its stats, but it also has the ability No Guard. So it became a better one to use.

Hi! This is a very beautiful story and I really enjoyed it, but there are some things that I didn't like:

1. Start of the game: I mean, I didn't understand why you made me choose my character, which was female (very beautiful by the way) and then you killed me and made me play with a male? It doesn't make sense! Why not make me choose the character after day Z? I didn't like playing with a male. And by the way, you didn't seem to have defined the character well: it seemed to me that he was missing an eye (left) or am I wrong?

2. Another thing I didn't like was the need to pay money in the Pokemon center. Yes, theoretically it's fine, but then the money received for the battles wasn't enough and I was always at the limit of money and couldn't buy potions. Not to mention the repellents and without it it was difficult to move around.

The battle against the gym leader was difficult (especially because of the field) but I think this was intended, and I felt like they did too much damage to me,compared to the level that the pokemon had.
Overall the game makes a good impression and the story is very interesting. I can't wait to play it when it's finished!!
Oh! I forgot: I played in Easy Mod.

Hello

Thank you very much for the feedback and suggestions.
To answer your points. The reason for choosing a character and don't play with it, it's just to cause chaos, to give an illusion. As for playing with a male one, is due to the fact that the game is heavenly story driven involving the main character, so being either a boy or girl wouldn't fit well, sorry about that. As for eye, yes you're correct, but it's on purpose, he's missing an eye, which will start to be mentioned on this next chapter. There is though on Chapter 1 a quest where that question comes up.

As for the money. I can indeed lower a bit the price, but I don't want to remove it. This falls in line with games such as Final Fantasy, where I also take a lot of inspiration

As for the gym, yes it's too strong. I will make a new patch this weekend and I'm going to nerf her there. It's too strong for the first gym and I don't people to struggle that much.

Thank you very for all the input and if you don't agree with anything, feel free to share.

Hello

I have just released a new version of the game with some bug fixing and a lot of changes. Some of these were only to happen on Chapter 2, but since they are already available, might as well include them in this release. These are the changes, improvements and fixes:

- Use keyboard to write, instead of mouse
- Option to disable/enable the possibility to add nicknames
- On the battle menu, it remembers the last command, except if it was to switch the active pokemon
- Reversed the order of the effects, such as sandstorm and poison, to act like newer generations
- Changed the battle backgrounds
- Changed the main character girl sprite
- Changed the name Ghamber Galar to Chamber 58 to avoid confusions with which region you're are
- Update the Craft required items and prices
- Decrease the spawn encounter on the Chamber and Crystal Cave
- Change the UI battle commands
- Nerf on Erin's gym
- Remove some trainer battles during the chamber's attack
- Decrease the amount of money on pokecenter and healing machines
- Static and paralyze moves don't affect electric types
- Update the badge design
- Bug fixes and typos

Hope you like it and if you found anything, or have any suggestion, feel free to share.

Loving the concept of the game... The work is really impressive. I have a few points that I'd would like to make, though.

1. Main Character: Why is he so rude??? He seems a little too edgy. His personality (and some other characters' as well) was a little off to me. In a world where you grow up with the mindset that you're part of a community and everyone is important, the way he acts doesn't make sense. Like... A person is afraid of dying, and he starts cursing at that person... Dude... His design is great, though. I would love to make a 3D version of him.

2. Our Character: Bro... That was just mean hahahahaha. I agree with some things that people have said in the post, the introduction was too short for any attachment, it needs to be a little more explored.

3. Classmates and School: I think it would be great if we had more rivals/friends, like in the XY series. Let's be honest... The world is most likely a mess. Crawling with bad people... We NEED more than one ally. The lone wolf trope is kinda boring. A lone wolf, is a wolf left to die. It would make sense for Damon to realize that. Exploring more his relations with the other kids would improve this aspect. And a system where you communicate with the other while exploring the overworld would be a great addition.

4. Erin: DAMN... I think that she was waaaaay too strong for a first gym leader... Her pokémons was fine, is just the fact that she have six of then that was tough... Kinda unfair I think.

5. Configs: The sound is way too loud.

CONCLUSION

I understand that the game is still in development. It has a lot of room for improvement, in a sense like "this game is great... and have the potencial to be even greater" if you know what I mean.

With you guys need help with something, I would love to help.

In truth i don't like Devon as a main i honestly like the both of the 2 i chose from way more. Devon actually makes more sense as a rival to me and quite a few people get personally invested in the characters they chose from story games

Hello

Thank you very much for the feedback and suggestions. To also answer and provide some more context to these:
1 - I do get your point and it makes sense, but the fact that these kids are like this has a reason. I don't want to give too much spoilers, but that community importance, is not a 2 way direction.
2 - Ahahaa, I get it. I need to think of a way to make it longer, to create these strings to the character a player select
3 - That will happen. Chapter 1 is kinda the setup for everything and even a mind changing for Damon. FYI, Alicia will be very important in this role.
4 - You're right, and I've already gave her a nerf. Not sure of you played the most recent version (1.1), or an earlier one?
5 - Alright, I'm going to improve this on the next chapter

Thank you so much for your input. I really appreciate it and I hope the updates improve your experience.

Thank you for your reply and these contradictory feelings towards the mc is what I wanted to achieve. Some like him, others don't, since this 'gray' personality is more related to how life is. However, his personality will evolve as the game progresses

Hello again, friend. Where can we follow the development of the game? Do you have any place like that? Like Discord...

Hello all
Just to provide some updates, but Chapter 2 is almost ready. I would say it's at 90% give or take, though I cannot say yet when it's going to be released. But I do plan to have it ready before the end of the year.
After it's completed, I will still test it myself one more time and provide the beta version to the beta testers.
And that's it for now

Hiya! First off, LOVE the intro to this game.

Anyway -- I was wondering whether you'd want a hand brushing over the script for little grammar corrections (it's kind of my thing) as I think that could add an extra level of polish. Let me know! I don't want anything in return, I just think you've done a great job with this concept and I wanna see it shine!

Spoiler: Spoiler

Truly didn't see the initial character getting evaporated coming.

Hello

Thank you very much for the feedback, and I'm really glad that you liked it.

Oh wow, that would be awesome, because english is not my native language. I will send you a PM. Thank you very much.

Hello all

Chapter 2 is finally done. This adds a couple of new features:

• Added HUD bar. Which can be turned on/off on options menu
• Sidequest identifier on characters
• Berries don't disappear at the end of the growth cycle. They are permanent.
• Some fakemon added.

I hope you like it and if you encounter any bug, or have any suggestion feel free to let me know.

Have fun

Highly suggest adding overworld shadows plugin, if you haven't already. It makes a night and day different for games using gen 4 overworld styles

Hello, thank you very much for the suggestion, however it won't be possible to add a plugin, since this is an old version of Essentials, so it doesn't support plugins. I can though, check the code and create my own version. I will take a look into it.

It's between Basinshire and Angel Tower, where Wonderland resides. A place used by Yamasks as their playground. Causing confusion and mischief to those who step into this place.
Welcome, to Wonderland Forest:

Sponsored by the DeviantArt artist Drafex14, I'm sharing here 3 of the Pokémon that will be present on Chapter 3. Sproutaur, Flamebear and Cruz, which Game Freak never released:

There are scripts for it, I do remember having it all the way back when vanguard was on v17. Here's a download to marins version of it for essentials v18 (Sorry i'm unfamiliar what version this game is on) https://drive.google.com/uc?export=download&id=140fogp5RnR5fDJhtpJ2pq2vmZlzbDvh4

I do apologize if I seem like I am pushing this on you. I take a lot of pride in overworld detail myself, and your game's maps seem way too good to go without the extra polish overworld shadows add

EHehe, thank you very much. Not all, feel free to do so and thank you very much for the link to it and for the help and suggestion. I will take a look and try to add it to mine.

Btw, your maps are also wonderful. Really well done
