Thanks for the feedback guys. Keeps me motivated. Cheers. keep it coming.
Well....
Just finished working on the
PokeCyber.
So, to start off the update, I'll just post about the first option and it's function.
The PokeCyber is a key item that will be given to the player at the start of the game. Well after speaking to Oak. It's a device kinda like the PokeGear from G/S/C games. The PokeCyber is connected to a network.
Because it's this "Wi-fi" style device, I can add some pretty nifty features.
As just mentioned above, I will do one feature each update, so here is the first.
*On the infamous Test map from Protectors, with a test team of starters, I have the PokeCyber in my bag lol.*
After selecting it from my bag, I'm taken to it's (the PokeCyber's) main menu.
There are 4 options.
Pokemon Storage.
Phone.
Minerals.
Cheats.
You may have questions for some options, but I am only going to talk about the Pokemon Storage system for now.
The Pokemon storage system is the "Bill's PC" of Protectors.
You have 3 options in Pokemon storage. Deposit. Withdraw and Release. well 4 with exit, but blah.
Depositing Pokemon will allow you to deposit up to 5 Pokemon off your team. You must keep at least one at all times.
You can only store up to 12 Pokemon to begin with
It's very straight forward.
Withdrawing Pokemon is also very straight forward. You select which Pokemon you want to withdraw using the grid menu (meaning you can use all 4 arrow keys to navigate the menu). Press enter and Pokemon is on your team if you have space.
Release Pokemon (no screens), brings up the same style selection menu, this time, you can chose a Pokemon off your Team to "release" into the wild. Because at the start, the PokeCyber only allows 12 Pokemon in storage and you can carry 6 on Team, you may need to release some Pokemon to make room for more.
So this option is included.
Also you may notice on the top left of the main PokeCyber menu, there is a signal bar.
Depending on where you are in the region will give you a different signal.
For example, in a big city, you will have full signal.
In a small town or route, you might have 2 bars (medium) or 1 bar (weak signal).
In caves, you will have no signal.
For test propose (well just to take the screenshot), I showed what happens if you have a weak signal and select storage.
You cannot use certain features depending on your signal strength. This adds a bit of strategy when going on far off routes, mountains, and caves.
Also note, the PokeCyber itself was created by Prof. Ashbourne (of an unnamed region to the south), and it's online storage system was developed by Prof. Maple (of an unnamed region to the north).
So tell me what you think people.
Remember, try not discuss the PokeCyber's other options until they are revealed :P
