PokeMon Garnet

[Colbex]

Presenting PokeMon (Holy?) Garnet.

Basis of game:
PokeMon Garnet is a psuedo-remake of the original GSC games. By this I mean it doesn't stay true to the original, but it's close enough to say it's a remake... well, really, not so much... I'm still debating on what I should call it.
​

New features:

Spoiler:

• All 493 PokeMon are available one way or another.
• A 3rd Region named Ohtoj (a pun on Johto) is gonna be made.
• (Note: I say gonna because I do everything backwards. I work on storyline first, then graphics and other in game functions, then major scripts, then I map what's left. XD)
• The mini-game(s) that came with Peter O's Kit (ofc)
• Two new organizations.
• A brand new gym leader.
• And so much more... (I just can't remember what)

Dramatically altered plot changes:

Spoiler:

• A couple months prior to the main character's adventure, Silver tried to break into Elm's lab. Rather than successfully stealing a poke... Prof. Elm capped the bishie like Dick Cheney shot his best friend.
• Team Rocket was disbanded prior to the beginning of the story. (see where I'm going with this. It's as if the real GSC hero had already embarked on his journey.)
• Green is no longer Blue. He's back to Green so the real Blue can join in the fun. Along with red for the Blue, Green, Red trio. (Wow, that bullet was fun to type. o.o)
• Team Solar and Lunar consume the majority of the storyline.
• Battle Tower is only accessible after the elite four... and it's more than just a tower, obviously.
• In Newbark Town there's a place known as trainer hotel for new trainers. The 5-6 trainers change based on the day, although they do repeat. (monday's trainers will be next monday's)
• Cherrygrove City is more of a city now. If you surf on the water, you'll come to the second half of the area known as Undergrove.
• There's some crazy guy living waaaaay back in the trees in Violet City.
• Several caves an other areas have been remodeled to accomodate for certain legendaries. (other's you just buy a very expensive ticket and go to a Port. o.O)
• Rather than Lugia or Ho-oh, Arceus is the main focus of Garnet.
• Mahogany Town... well, no it's still the same, boring, useless place that annoys you. One of those being, you have to fight an old, decrepid, cripple. -_-
• There's an INDOOR safari zone in Goldenrod City. (always thought that would be cool)
• A lot of Kanto that was considered unnaccessible during the Metal generation is now re-accessible. (Underground Pass, Silph Co., Kanto Radio Tower, Pewter Museum)
• Sevii Islands are accessible. (? - Still debating, I'm wondering if adding that would be overkill... x.x)
• After your first battle with red, the area changes due to a rock slide caused by the battle itself.
• Gym Leaders, ect are capable of being rebattled after certain events. (exluding kanto leaders)
• And so much more. (?) - (Maybe I named it all) x_X

​

Double Edge Sword of Game:

Spoiler:

You are guaranteed to at least have 7 lv 100 pokes by the end of the game. Or many more. Due to the length and upgraded skill level of gym leaders and trainers, it's quite possibile to have multiple high level pokes. Of course, the good thing is level 100 pokemon don't gain anything, and continuing to use the same PokeMon over and over again would be like throwing away that experience your special Hoothoot could of used.

​

Current Errors/Bugs:

Spoiler:

I'm still adding 4th gen stuff for one.. Uh I did have map errors but I accidently copy/pasted the wrong map data and kinda... overwrote everything, so... my mapping's starting over from scratch. x_X

​

Temporary Changes:

Spoiler:

Since I haven't been able to correctly add all the 4th gen moves, I kinda added them all with 3rd gen effects to compensate until later. (can't believe I forgot something so big. XD)

Hero/Heroine:

Spoiler:

[/FONT]

Spoiler:

[FONT=&quot]These are the main characters. You are them as you embark on a long and vigorous journey through Johto, Kanto, and Ohtoj.[/FONT]

​

Johto Gym Leaders:

Spoiler:

Falkner: The first gym leader and also a police officer, he has earned the nickname of commander of the skies. He gives you the Zephyr Badge along with TM – Aerial Ace.

Bugsy: The second gym leader, he as a friendly yet meek boy who likes Bugs. He gives you the hive badge along with the TM for X-Scissor.

Whitney: The third gym leader, she has a specialty for normal-type Pokémon, nor is she a pushover. She'll award you the Plain badge along with the TM for Attract.

Morty: The fourth gym leader; his strength lies with ghosts. He'll give you the Fog Badge along with the TM for Shadow Ball.

Jasmine: Unlike the original GSC, she is the 5th gym leader and utilizes the steel type. She'll gift you with the Mineral Badge and the TM for Flash Cannon.

Chuck: Now the 6th gym leader, he uses the fighting type. He'll give you the Storm Badge along with the TM for Drain Punch.

Pryce: Yea, whatever, 7th leader, Glacier Badge, TM - Avalanche. >_>

Clair(e)?: The final Johto gym leader, she uses dragons. By no means will she be an easy opponent…

​

Kanto Gym Leaders:

Spoiler:

Lt.Surge: The first gym leader you would see by arriving to Kanto through the "Fast Ship." He's an electric type trainer who awards you with the Thunder Badge and TM – Thunder.

Sabrina: The telepathic mistress! She awards you the Marsh badge along with the TM for Calm Mind.

Erika: The sleepy grass trainer, she awards you the Rainbow Badge and the TM – Grass Knot!

Janine: Koga's daughter! Beat her for the Soul Badge and TM – Toxic!

Misty: Once you find her at the Seafoam Islands and she returns to her gym, you'll be able to battle her for the Cascade badge and the TM – Brine.

Brock: As the Rock Leader he shouldn't be much of a challenge… but sometimes things aren't the way they should be. Take him down and gain the Boulder Badge along with the TM – Stone Edge.

Blaine: One of the more clever leaders, his fire team has moves to cover multiple types. Extinguish his fire and get the Volcano Badge along with TM – Overheat.

[Photo Unavailable] Orek: The new Viridian Gym Leader. He, like Giovanni, is a ground type trainer… just with a more diverse team. Defeating him gets you the TM – Earthquake (that would make like 80 billion. XD) along with the Earth Badge.

Team Lunar

Spoiler:

[FONT=&quot]

[/FONT] [FONT=&quot]

[/FONT]
The lovely Lunar grunts!

Lunar Admin Cranus: He's not the brightest, nor is he even liked by his comrades. But, he is a decent battler and the leader sees a strength in his overall ignorance.

Lunar Admin April: She's the second in command. She is powerful, witty, and known as the late night wind throughout Johto.

Lunar Leader Dustin: He's the leader of Team Lunar. He wants to use Arceus' massive power to destroy the sun and eliminate all life and create a world of eternal darkness.

Team Solar

Spoiler:

The lovely Solar grunts. (I take pride in the female grunt... although, I could try to improve on the evil look and shading...)

Solar Admin Phoenix: He's the Cranus of Team Solar, except he's actually pretty smart. He's also the evilest member, however, battle wise, he's not the greatest...

Solar Admin Marietta: I wanted to add some cultural diversity in my game, first of all. Secondly, I wanted to make a character whose characteristics could best be compared to the coolest female anime character ever, Matsumoto Rangiku. (actually, Youruichi and Soi Fon are cooler, but April has Soi Fon covered. XD) Anyway, Marietta isn't very evil, she's addicted to shopping, is in love with her leader, is of Hispanic decent, and has an addiction to Polipops. (suckers that's image resemble poliwag) Despite this, she is a great battler, especially when serious.

Solar Leader Ray: Ray, unlike Dustin, isn't completely evil, or as shown in the end, isn't evil at all. What's first believed as a plot to get Arceus to move the planet closer to the sun, he rather just wants Arceus so his old friend can't destroy the planet.

Elite Four Members

Spoiler:

E4 Will: The psychic trainer! Don't let him out predict you! o_O

E4 Koga: He's not exactly a mono-poison trainer. Instead he focuses on giving status ailments, making him unique.

E4 Bruno: The big buff fighting type trainer! He has to be good to be in the E4 for so long...

E4 Karen: Her team wasn't Dark enough in the original GSC games... boy do I have a surprise for you. XD

Champion Lance: Somehow, he became Champion... anyway, just use that Jynx from the Ice Cavern...x_x

All-Stars

Spoiler:

All-Star Green: He's still cocky, but he's a good battler. His team is based more on Gary from the anime as well, so don't be surpised.

All-Star Red: The most powerful trainer in the game. After you complete the Arceus Finale Arc, whenever you rebattle him his team will contain Pikachu, A grass starter(or Tauros or Donphan), a water starter (or Floatzel, or Lapras), a Fire Starter (or Torkoal or Muk), the 5th poke being Snorlax, Staraptor, Noctowl, Pidgeot, Ambipom, or Togekiss, and the 6th slot being Espeon, Gliscor, Gengar, Primeape, Heracross, or Tyranitar.

All-Star Blue: First meeting her on your way to Violet City, unlike the other two, taking on mainly rival/opponent roles, she fills in as a support character, even teaming up with you at one point. You do battle her quite often, however.

Other Notable Characters

Spoiler:

Bertha: she's filling in for Orek at the Viridian Gym, ironically, right after you beat her, he arrives.

Kurt: A famous ball maker, instead of collecting apricorns, he's made and endless supply that you buy at reasonable prices. You also battle him, team up with him, and communicate with him often early on in the game.

Eusine: The obsessive PokeMon collector, Eusine! You only battle him twice, but after you beat the elite four, you can always find him on Cianwood and ask him where you would find a legendary, if you don't, he may give you a hint...
-photo unavailable-Pip: Johto's most reliable delivery boy, he gives you several things, usually from the likes of Kurt, Prof. Elm, Your Mom (no insult intended), or a Gym Leader. You only battle him once, and that was y request of green.

Current Status:

Spoiler:

• Graphics (OW and Sprites) - 95%
• Battle Animations - 2%
• 4th generation implementation - 56%
• Customization of screens (battle screens, ect) - 3%

[monkeyboi]

just wanted to say that there is a hack already with this name so you should probably change it so people don't get confused (just before things get too far).

Though i do like everything you've got so far seems interesting.

 

[Colbex]

Hm, I'm debating on what to rename it... Holy Garnet? Black Garnet? Arceus is like the center of the story...

 

[jadored]

Le Garnete?
Grand Garnet?
This would be easier if I knew what Garnet meant, lol.

Anyway, seems like a cool remake. I'm doing a game that also takes place in Johto, so if you still need OW sprites for the gym leaders I'd be happy to help, seeing as I have to make them anyway. =]

 

[Colbex]

For now I have enough OW's... I need to update thee progress. x_X but thanks for the offer, it's appreciated. XD

EDIT: A Garnet is a type of Gem Stone. o.o

 

[jadored]

Oh ok, I saw it up there and thought I'd offer. =]

And okay xD
I wasn't sure.

 

[Colbex]

Here's the first version for Newbark Town. The ledge and path comes from Mt. Silver and a secret dungeon, but I'll explain that later. Also, unlike the original, where trees were beside the house, I'd figur I'd start on the mountainous terrain now. No biggie, right?

Criticism, Flame, Advice, or praise, I'm open to it all.

 

[jadored]

Cool, Lookin' good so far ;]

But kind of plain.
If you want (cuz this is what I got in trouble for), add some flowers around town, different colors of grass, rocks, etc.

 

[Colbex]

Actually, I remembered that I had backed up some of my maps from awhile ago on a memory stick... that's when Irealized I wasted 2 and a half weeks remapping when I could of just used the cruzer. XD
Anyway... the Newbark town map changed, lmao. Here's the new/old one. o_o

But, yea, I'll probably still add more things for scenery. XD

Also, another update, this being a list of things I want to add but can't do until I like... become a master at RGSS. XD

Menu Screen:

Spoiler:

PokéDex
PokéMon
Bag
PokéGear
Save
Options
^^This part would be very easy...

New PokéGear Features:

Spoiler:

Card 1 - Town Map (would be nice, if I make the overworld map correctly. x_x)
Card 2 - Journal (this would allow use of the keyboard to type down notes of your choosing, like if you've written down your pre-planned team for a game with the movesets. XD)
Card 3 - Radio (yea, basic, except certain songs (PokéFlute) would involve a script and instead of custom, I'll probably make a new audio folder named Radio (or something along those lines) where the person playing the game can copy over their music on the computer to that folder (sounds nice? o_O))
Card 4 - Phone Book - (Same old, same old, except I think I know how to make caller events like Mom or Prof Elm, I'll simply create one in the scripts with it listed as false, then once registered, the script would be true, and those special callers would have their own scripts. XD)
Card 5 - Badges/Trainer Sprite - (Just a card that shws the user's big picture, and instead of having badges pinned on a card or in a case, they're digitally stored on the PokéGear, also listing what they do. (enable Cut, raises speed EVs, ect)
Card 6 - Records - (Kinda like card 5, except it just shows the number of badges (like real GSC for Kanto), your total play time, money, online play time (yes, I'm going to eventually add some online capabilities. x_x, and battles won/lost. (including in-game NPC's)
Card 7 - Information - Will be used for online play, this is the thing to edit your online battle messages for win, lose, tie, ect. It also will give some space for information if you add a friend. (get to that later) XD, and shows what starter you chose. (just so the function won't be too small)
Card 8 - PokéMon Radar - (this'll probably be really easy to add. XD)
Card 9 - Recorder - (automatically records online battles or battle fronteir boss battles)
Card 10 - Television - (see next spoiler. lmao)
Card 11 - Walk - Up - (A unique function, By taking one Pokémon in your Party, they will gain 1 exp per step you take. However, the Pokémon cannot be deposited into the PC, Traded, or be used in battle. The Pokémon cannot hold items or be healed neither.(Don't ask why this would be good... >_>))
Card 12 - Mystery Gift - (Random items or PokéMon may be given under certain circumstances. (after every online encounter there will be a 1/12 chance to receive something))

PokéGear TV:

Spoiler:

Ah yes, the return of the Teachy TV... kinda!
The PokéGear TV Card will work similar to the Radio, as in not all channels will be available from the beginning. The channels are:

Spoiler:

Tutorial Channel - Learn the basics of being a PokéMon Master!
Nature Channel - Just watch and relax as the satellites scroll over the areas, some unreachable in-game.
PokéMon Showcase Channel - Watch as PokéMon are put on the spot light and analyzed. (tells base stats, recommended move sets, type, dex info, ect.)
Trainer Showcase Channel - Watch as trainers are put on the spotlight and analyzed. (Shows a trainer, their team, and gives them a skill level rating. not used for main characters)
Shopper's Channel - Find out the latest sales and bargains at a Mart near you!
Weather Channel - Warns of weather in certain areas. (and like real weather... it might be wrong. xD)
YouTube Channel - Browse YouTube videos right from a 480x320 screen!

Also, I've added:

Bank System (thanks wichu! ^.^)

Did you request the script or was a public one?


PS. Good luck on your to-do list =3

 

[Colbex]

it was public, just search in the uh... Starter Kit for RPG Maker XP thread. It should be like on page 54, I think... o.o

 

[jadored]

Oh okay! That's great, thank you.

 

[Night-Shade]

sounds good hope all works out for you
