This game looks awsome i wish i could play it -.- dial up sucks for the loss
Geo has optimized the packets so that dial-up users can also play PTOA. Only problem is the original download...
On the front page, you mentioned 421 possible characters... How are those picked? Are they at random or do you view a whole gallery? In the FR/LG, D/P, etc. games, I get sick real easy of playing as the same red-hat wearing guy, I think this would be good and shows diversity. Not everyone wears red hats or has pink scarfs.
OK, you select your gender (male/female), then type (bug catcher/cool trainer etc.), then colour (7 colours each character)
I think a better way of doing this, would be, set up the battles to only allow pokemon like 1 or 2 levels higher than you to attack, this would keep the places fair then.
I'm not sure if this is wat is already being done or not.
yeah, that is pretty much what were doing...
Is your battle system done yet? I haven't seen a screenshot of that... We also haven't seen White or Black Sprite in a while. Like 4 days. That usually means they are working on it. There should be some sort of race when this is done, lke the first person to get from Pallet Town to the Viridian Forest or something.
The battle system has been finished, except GUI and animations... that is why there is no screenies, cos it is real hard to make a screenie of nothingness and convincingly say it is a battle system...
Just a question, do you plan on doing things like EVs and IVs, and all the other hidden values? Whether you do or not, Good luck!
Yup EVs , IVs and other hidden values are included in the battle system. It would be extremely boring if we didnt, every Pikachu would be the same etc.
I also got 2 questions:/
1.What if i would have a big brother,and he wants to mess up my copy of PokemonTOA using hacks and packet editing?I would get permbanned without doing anything!That's why permban wouldnt be good.A ban of maximum 5 days would be very good.
2.If someone is in the pokecenter(or other building),and someone is in front of the door of the pokecenter(outside),how would you be able to exit the building?
If i am a p*** in ******,you dont need to answer my questions.

1- we are still working through the problems in the banning stuff. Heres an example of why permban is used: if I was only going to be banned for a week if I used a hack, I would
try a hack just to see if I could cheat in any way. like if you were able to change the EVs and IVs of one pokemon to make it almost invincible for just one week of inactivity, you would take the hack. If the punishment changes to complete permanent ban, never able to access the game again on that computer, the number of people willing to do it are significantly decreased. This same idea is used on XBox Live if you use illegal mods.
2- leaving a door, going down/up stairs, you end up on top of the person blocking the door. You then can walk off in any direction.
