Seven gyms completed!
INTRODUCTION
Welcome, and thank you in advance for reading the thread that is about my game, Pokemon Metal. The idea to create this game came to me in early July, 2012. When I looked up on how to create Pokemon games, I was surprised to find out that it can be done by using RPG Maker, a program I've worked in for a couple of years.
This game combines two of my favorite things in the world, Pokemon (duh) and rock & metal music. That's why the name of the game is "Pokemon Metal". All the gym leaders, the E4 and the Champ are based on famous rock & metal musicians (Look at the "Characters section" for more info), some sidequests are based on lyrics of songs, and there are a lot of other references to the music world.
The story of this game isn't too different from other Pokemon games. What makes it much more interesting are the sidequests. There are a lot of things to finish & discover in the Pokemon World. Why don't you take a look at the "Main Story" and "Sidequests" section below to find out more?

Okay, this is a major update for me.
- 235 maps!!!
- I've finished most of the overworld (3 more cities and some minor routes), but I'm mostly satisfied because I finished all the large surf areas, which I was afraid of starting, since I knew it'd be hard. Sure enough, it was - it took me 2 whole days to finish all the maps and connect them properly. But since most of the overworld is done, it means that creating the rest of the game won't be hard, and won't take long! Since college is starting again soon, I won't have as much time as I have right now, but I think I'll finish the game in 2-3 months!
- 4 gyms are finished now.

STORYLINE
- The game starts in the Arala region, 8 years after the Kanto games (So, 8 years after Red became Champ of the Indigo League). The hometown of the main character is called Rainbow, and professor Oak temporarily moved there to help out in a Pokemon research institute.
- While there, professor Oak finds out that you'd like to go on your own adventure with Pokemon, so, big-hearted as he is, he gives you a starter Pokemon, and a Pokedex.
So, the game isn't too different from any other Pokemon game. The main quest is to beat all the gym leaders and Pokemon league. However, there will be a lot of sidequests which will make the game a lot more interesting.
Just to clarify, since the main goal of all the Pokemon games is to beat the Pokemon League, everything that happens after it, I consider a "Sidequest". That's why there isn't almost any information in this section. Look at the section below to see the sidequests. Most of them develop during the main gameplay, but can only be finished after the league, so, in a way, they are a major part of the main storyline, but I just call them "sidequests".
SIDEQUESTS
- First of all, while in professor Oak's laboratory, he tells you about his past. How he sent two trainers on their own adventure. The first one was his grandson, Gary Oak, who never completed the Pokedex. He left all of his Pokemon home, and came to the Arala region to have another adventure, with brand new Pokemon. The second trainer is, of course, Red. However, no-one has heard anything about Red in a long, long time. Professor Oak is sure that he is not dead. So one of the side quests will be to find Red.
- Before the invention of the Pokeball, training Pokemon was very hard. One would have to be able to form companionship with Pokemon without actually catching them. Taming, training and loving them was a lot harder without the ability to capture them in a ball. That was all a long time ago. However, there apparently is one trainer alive who trained his Pokemon without any Pokeballs. The life he led with his Pokemon has extended his lifespan, and he is the real Pokemon master. Only beating him will mean that you are the best!
- The Pokemon research institute in Rainbow is having troubles. Even with the help of professor Oak, they're not making a lot of progress. Help them out!
- Team Rocket is using strong Pokemon to change the world. They're hurting the Pokemon, and even people, to get what they want. I won't release much details about them, you'll encounter them a few times through the main storyline, but that won't be enough to stop them!
- Professor Oak gave you a Pokedex. Red and Gary were never able to fulfill his dream. It is on you to complete the Pokedex!
- Completely new Pokemon have been sighted in the region of Arala. Investigate!
- There's an old rumor about the Arala region. The rumor is about gold - apparently, there was a lot of gold in Arala, though there are absolutely no records about that. A lot of important characters are investigating that old rumor. Some think it's a prehistoric prank, others think that "gold" is a reference to something else. So what is it? I won't reveal that :P
- There's a group of people called "The Stargazers". Apparently, they're an evil organization with a yet unknown plan - but they're much more different than Team Rocket, or any other evil team. The most interesting part here is that there are almost none references to them - you have to investigate on your own. Team Rocket (Or any other team, really) isn't really good at hiding their plans and being discovered by a 10 (In this game, 15) year old kid. The Stargazers are. Some characters mention them, but that is far from enough to learn about them.
-There will be more sidequests as the game progresses.
CHARACTERS
*Note that this game isn't near completion. Currently, I use the sprites provided in Pokemon Essentials, but I'll probably change them once I'm close to finishing the game.
Main character
??? lives in Rainbow all his (her) life. (S)he is 15, and (s)he always wanted to go on a Pokemon adventure. Once professor Oak arrived in Rainbow, he made that dream come true.
Kalifa
Kalifa is a trainer who also lives in Rainbow. However, she moved in recently, and doesn't know a lot of people. She heard about you from professor Oak, who lives in her house, since he moved in just temporarily (She rents the first floor). Once you get your starter Pokemon, she wants to battle you, and a rivalry is made.
Ritchie
Ritchie is a trainer who recently started his adventure. He is on his way to Thrill City to challenge the first gym leader of Arala. On his way, he meets with you, and you two become rivals.
Gary
*I still need a good sprite of him. Will add one tomorrow.
Gary Oak is professor Oak's grandson. Once the champ of the Kanto region, then a gym leader, and now he's on a new adventure in Arala. He left all of his Pokemon home in Pallet town and got a new one.
Randy
This is Randy. I made the sprite myself by editing the cool trainer sprite, and it's horrible xD But right now I don't have anyone who can make sprites for me, so new sprites will have to wait until later.
Anyway, Randy's appearance (and name) are based on my favorite guitarist, Randy Rhoads. In game, he's a 25 year old adult (Any guesses why 25?), who was introduced to the world of Pokemon by a member of the Elite 4. Along with his friend David (The second gym leader), they were taught how to be great Pokemon trainers by the Elite 4 member. You meet Randy for the first time during his investigation based on an old rumor... Once you defeat him, you two become rivals.
Lita
Lita is a former spy, who was undercover investigating Team Rocket. However, once Team Rocket discovered her, she went into hiding. They will find her, but so will you, and you will save her. You made a huge impression on her with your battling, and she decides to become a trainer - first, so she can defend herself, and second, because she wants to be like you. You run into her a couple of times, and she battles you.
Angus
This is Angus - he is the first Gym Leader. Angus is based on the lead guitarist for the band AC/DC, Angus Young. Angus Young has a guitar with thunderbolts drawn on it, AC/DC has a lot of songs referencing electricity (Thunderstruck being the most famous) and AC/DC stands for "Ascending current/descending current" (They saw this abbreviation on a vacuum cleaner and decided to name their band after it), so Angus trains Electric Pokemon.
David
This is David, the second Gym Leader. He is based on David Coverdale, the vocalist of Whitesnake & Deep Purple. In my opinion, David Coverdale is the best hard rock singer (A lot will disagree, but he's still great), so he trains Rock Pokemon.
Shirley
Shirley is the third Gym Leader. She is based on Shirley Manson, the vocalist for the band Garbage. I, myself, am not a fan of Garbage, but I needed at least one female Gym Leader, so my friend suggested her. She trains Water Pokemon, for actually no particular reason. I just felt like Water-type will suit her.
Bruce
Bruce is the 4th Gym Leader. He is based on Bruce Dickinson, the vocalist for the band Iron Maiden. Iron Maiden is definitely one of the most successful metal bands out there - steel is metal, so Bruce trains Steel Pokemon.
Jimi
Jimi is the 5th gym leader. He is based on Jimi Hendrix, one of the best guitarists that ever walked this earth. Jimi trains Grass Pokemon. There is a reason for that, but I'd rather not reveal it.
Rob
Till
Till is the seventh gym leader, and he trains Fire-Type Pokemon. Till is based on Till Lindemann, the singer for the German metal band Rammstein. Their most famous song is "Feuer Frei", "Feuer" means "Fire", and the band itself is known for a lot of pyrotechnics on stage. That is why his Pokemon are Fire-type.
Giovanni
Here's a face you all know well - Giovanni has returned. Team Rocket is back, and it is your goal to stop them by stopping him!
OTHER INFO
- The 3 starters you choose from are not the regular grass, fire and water type, and all of them have only one evolution. Of course, the types still work like rock, papers & scissor.
- The game has a lot of references to the world of rock & metal music, hence the name "Pokemon Metal". For example, most gym leaders share their names with famous musicians.
- All 649 Pokemon will be available.
- Trading won't be necessary for evolving Pokemon like Haunter or Onix. I'll probably create items (stones) that will make them evolve, or just make them evolve once they reach a certain level. Maybe I'll even make some encounter-able.
- Starters can be found as wild Pokemon.
- All legendary Pokemon can be found and caught.
- The healing process is the same as in every other Pokemon game (Nurse Joy asking you if you want your Pokemon healed, balls being set on the healing table, healing music, balls being returned), but it's a bit faster.
-Towns and cities won't be as small as in the regular Pokemon games (Who ever heard of a town with 3 houses?!?!)
- Unlike any other Pokemon game I've played, the starting town has its own Pokemon Center! Of course, you can't heal your Pokemon if you don't have any yet.
- There will be 17 new Pokemon (Fakemon), adding the total number of Pokemon to 666. These will include all eeveelutions (10 new Pokemon), a dragon Pokemon with 2 evolutions (3 in total), and 4 legendaries that are based on mascots of popular heavy metal bands.

SCREENSHOTS
-These stones are part of the Pokepark in Rainbow.
This is Route 2.
This is the second town, Kashmir. Since the picture is taken at night time, there's no vendor under the tent (No-one wants to work at night).
The first cave, Mt. Priest.
The outside of Thrill City gym.
Inside of a cafe in Thrill City. Barman talks about a weird Pokemon he saw.
Route 2 - Police officers blocking the entrance to the Pokemon Farm because Team Rocket broke in.
Oak's lab. One starter revealed.
Battle with the second gym leader.
This is part of the Ancient Gold ruins - many rumors and mysteries are connected to this place.
This is an in-battle screenshot. While it doesn't show anything special, it does reveal another starter.
Part of Route 6.
This is a hidden part of Mt. Priest. There are many rare wild Pokemon here, even some that humans believed were extinct.
This is part of Route 10, which, oddly enough, consists of 10 parts xD Oh yeah, Route 8 is made out of 8 parts... both are accidents xD
Battle against the 5th gym leader, Jimi.
My biggest map so far xD It's the outside (one part) of Mt. Steen, a mountain where mostly fire Pokemon live due to the sunny weather and dryness. What is that pyramid? No spoilers here :P
This is Purlamp Town. The town is all about "Being one with the nature", and that can easily be seen from its design.
This is a part Renota City - it's just a classical town.
A part of Route 8. I know the top of the maps lacks some details and looks bland, but the player won't be able to see most of it.
Worksop City - the biggest City in the game (So far). It has the Game Corner, the Safari Zone, and lots of other interesting places.
Paradise City - Also, like Worksop, a huge city. The map has been edited slightly since this picture was taken. Nothing major, I just added a backyard to the house on the upper-left, since I turned it into the daycare.
QUESTIONS FOR YOU
Right, so this is the section where I will ask you questions that I can't quite figure out myself. It's basically where I search advice.
- Do you have any features/references to metal, that you would love to see? If yes, just say so!
DOWNLOAD
Download Pokemon Metal (Demo) here!
If anyone actually decides to download and try it out, please ignore the following:
- Black areas (Just a few maps are still unfinished),
- Missing intro & double battles,
- The region map (I need to remake it, and draw it in the style of the other Pokemon maps - the one I have right now just serves as a "mold", so I know how to create actual maps).
ANY ERRORS/MISTAKES YOU FIND, PLEASE REPORT THEM IMMEDIATELY. IF YOU WANT TO SEE ANY CHANGES, PLEASE SAY SO.
And of course, THANK YOU FOR TRYING IT OUT :)
Not all trainers on the routes 7, 8 & 20 have been tested! They probably work, but just in case, save before battling them!
Thank you all for reading. Any advice, feedback & critiques are very welcome :D

This is Route 2.
Spoiler:
This is the second town, Kashmir. Since the picture is taken at night time, there's no vendor under the tent (No-one wants to work at night).
Spoiler:
The first cave, Mt. Priest.
Spoiler:
The outside of Thrill City gym.
Spoiler:
Inside of a cafe in Thrill City. Barman talks about a weird Pokemon he saw.
Spoiler:
Route 2 - Police officers blocking the entrance to the Pokemon Farm because Team Rocket broke in.
Spoiler:
Oak's lab. One starter revealed.
Spoiler:
Battle with the second gym leader.
Spoiler:
This is part of the Ancient Gold ruins - many rumors and mysteries are connected to this place.
Spoiler:
This is an in-battle screenshot. While it doesn't show anything special, it does reveal another starter.
Spoiler:
Part of Route 6.
Spoiler:
This is a hidden part of Mt. Priest. There are many rare wild Pokemon here, even some that humans believed were extinct.
Spoiler:
This is part of Route 10, which, oddly enough, consists of 10 parts xD Oh yeah, Route 8 is made out of 8 parts... both are accidents xD
Spoiler:
Battle against the 5th gym leader, Jimi.
Spoiler:
My biggest map so far xD It's the outside (one part) of Mt. Steen, a mountain where mostly fire Pokemon live due to the sunny weather and dryness. What is that pyramid? No spoilers here :P
Spoiler:
This is Purlamp Town. The town is all about "Being one with the nature", and that can easily be seen from its design.
Spoiler:
This is a part Renota City - it's just a classical town.
Spoiler:
A part of Route 8. I know the top of the maps lacks some details and looks bland, but the player won't be able to see most of it.
Spoiler:
Worksop City - the biggest City in the game (So far). It has the Game Corner, the Safari Zone, and lots of other interesting places.
Spoiler:
Paradise City - Also, like Worksop, a huge city. The map has been edited slightly since this picture was taken. Nothing major, I just added a backyard to the house on the upper-left, since I turned it into the daycare.
QUESTIONS FOR YOU
Right, so this is the section where I will ask you questions that I can't quite figure out myself. It's basically where I search advice.
- Do you have any features/references to metal, that you would love to see? If yes, just say so!
DOWNLOAD
Download Pokemon Metal (Demo) here!
If anyone actually decides to download and try it out, please ignore the following:
- Black areas (Just a few maps are still unfinished),
- Missing intro & double battles,
- The region map (I need to remake it, and draw it in the style of the other Pokemon maps - the one I have right now just serves as a "mold", so I know how to create actual maps).
ANY ERRORS/MISTAKES YOU FIND, PLEASE REPORT THEM IMMEDIATELY. IF YOU WANT TO SEE ANY CHANGES, PLEASE SAY SO.
And of course, THANK YOU FOR TRYING IT OUT :)
Not all trainers on the routes 7, 8 & 20 have been tested! They probably work, but just in case, save before battling them!
Thank you all for reading. Any advice, feedback & critiques are very welcome :D
