Pure 3D Pokemon Fan-Game

[Dylanrockin]

Introduction:

For the longest time I have been always wanting to design a Pokemon fan-game that comprised of many different real-time action RPG's. As well as have a Pokemon game that had an engaging story to go along with it. All the tools necessary are at my disposal, but the thing is... I don't have a team, a story writer, a character designer (even though the main characters for this game I have already came up with, even though you play as the Pokemon in this game.) Yeah if anyone wants to help out in the creation of this fan-game and is quite knowledgeable with C++, and Unity post in reply to this thread, and say what you would like to take part in.

------------------------

As a start: I have already came up with the main (playable) characters, below. On a side-note: I am not sure if giving the Pokemon unique names is a good idea, if it is post below and tell me what kind of good names would fit these characters. If it is suiting then Zoroark and Lucario, are gonna be named ;).

1. Cyndaquil (Name pending if needed)
Description: Main hero of the story, and is the best friend of Eevee, not much is known where he came from.

2. Eevee (Name pending if needed)
Description: Long time best friend of Cyndaquil after he saved her from a fateful encounter with a gang of Vigoroths.

3. Grovyle (Name pending if needed)
Description: Saved the party from a near death experience, in the Memory Graveyard, from the undead Shaymin. He is very cocky and headstrong but shows reason in his hasty actions.

4. Storm the Zoroark (If names are a good idea then this is a good name for her)
Description: Attacked the party, thinking that they are the ones who took her child Zorua. She then joins the party, promising to hunt down the Pokemon who stole her child.

5. Raven the Lucario (Again if names are a good idea, same with him)
Description Needed

6. Grace the Shaymin (If names are a good idea then this is a good name for her)
Description Needed

Battle System:

Now as for the battle system goes, I was not thinking about traditional RPG turn based system. I know some would argue, Pokemon is best suited for that, I understand that. But this is a whole new approach to the Pokemon games as a RPG. The idea that I had was something along the lines of, kind of a Tales of, battle system thrown in with the battle structure of Kingdom Hearts: RE Chain of Memories, simply for the battle layout not the card battle system. It goes kind of like this, you see a Pokemon in the overworld, you run into it, and then a fancy transition into the fight, and you are brought to a plain open battlefield with you and your first 4 party members (which you can change) on one side and your enemies on another side.

The fighting is revolved around, again kind of like the Tales games, you assign a "drive" (technical term in this game for a special attack i.e. Gyro Ball or something) to a direction on your analog stick followed with pressing the "B" button. Or you could simply press "A" for a standard attack, to build up "PP" (Power Points) or to simply link a standard attack to a Drive Attack. Which you can then link other Drive Attacks to the previous, given the level of the Drive.

For Example: If you have a Drive that is level one, lets use again Gyro Ball as an example. You use Gyro Ball, and then you can follow that up with no lag time between attacks, with a level 2 Drive, and so on and so forth.

It goes like this: Standard Attack x3: => LV1: Gyro Ball => LV2: Shadow Rush => LV3: Rending Claws

For tilts on the analog and "C" stick (just imagine this with a Gamecube controller) this is how the attacking for Drive would be like. You can customize this based on your preferences of the attacks.

Analog Stick:
No tilt press B

Tilt Left Press B

Tilt Right Press B

Tilt Up Press B

Tilt Down Press B

C Stick: For this you do not need to press B just tilt any direction either Up, Down, Left, Right.

On a side note I am not sure whether to put this on the PC and make it so that you have to get like a, 360 or PS3 controller to customize it to your liking. Or just make it so that you can use both the Keyboard or Controller.
------------------------
High Level Mystic Drives: (Eh, eh its funny because it's like Mystic Artes, oh whatever joke died fast.) These types of attacks can only be accessed after certain requirements have been met. Either they are obtained via sidequest or just hitting level 30 for their basic Mystic Drive. You initiate these attacks by entering Overdrive, by pressing the L, and R buttons together, when the Overdrive Gauge is filled. You use a high level Drive, and hold B to activate it and their you go, total mayhem, and awesome combos to go around. Whenever you do use one of these attacks, a anime style cut-in will appear of the character, basically to give emphasis on the attack.

Dual Mystic Drives: These are much more powerful then the normal one. Given that, well you and one of your party members are using combined effort for a more power attack. These kinds of attacks are only available, if very specific conditions are met.

1. You and one other party member has to be in Overdrive.
2. You have to have used certain attacks, a certain amount of times, like 50
3. They can only be obtained via character specific side-quests

A list of Mystic Drives that I came up with, so feel free to judge, and criticize as you will. I have not came up with any Dual's yet.

Cyndaquil: If you wish to say something about these attacks whether they should be, edited, or add something else to them feel free to state.

1. Flare Impact: Cyndaquil embues his body in a plume of fire, he then knocks then enemy into the air and performs a flame wheel combo, then throws them into the ground and fires, fire blast in front of him as he falls, following the enemy, and then slams into the fire blast, then into the enemy. Dealing damage to enemies near the attack.

2.Heavenly Blaze: Cyndaquil, uses Sunny Day, and thus launces Lava Plume into the air raining fire down on every enemy on the field, decreasing their stats, and raises everyone in the parties stats. The fire will constantly deal damage, Cyndaquill will then leap into the air, and use Flamethrower down on every enemy on the field covering them in a wave of fire. (Obtained after the character specific side-quest, that follows throughout the first quarter of the game. It can only be used if he is in Overdrive, with the Symbol of Ash equipped.)

3. (Your idea goes here)

Eevee:

1. Arcane Crest: Eevee, focuses energy into her tail, then proceeds to use an Iron Tail combo. Then knocks the enemy into the air, charging her Iron Tail with energy, an Arcane Symbol will then appear on the ground below. Her tail will then slam her enemy into the ground causing the Arcane Symbol to rain Thunderbolts down onto it followed by rays of light. (Can only be obtained, by starting the "Divine Accessories" sidequest near the middle-end of the game. Eevee has to be in Overdrive, in Critical Health (1-15% health) and must have Equipped: Necklace of the Mystic, and the Ring of the Ancients.)

2. (Your idea goes here)

3. (Your idea goes here)

Grovyle:

1. Frenzy Plant Alpha: Grovyle, forms his Leaf Blade, and does a massive combo on one enemy, to segway his attack he uses double team around the enemy to confuse it, one of the illusion clones will use quick attack and knock the enemy into the air. Grovyle then proceeds to leap into the air, using a Leaf Blade combo, then following with a spin combo, knocking the enemy onto the ground, followed by a blast of energy that creates a giant tree explosion on top of them.

2. (Your idea goes here)

3. (Your idea goes here)

Storm the Zoroark:

1. Shadow Rain: Darkness envelops Zoroark, she then leaps high into the air and releases a dark shockwave, releasing balls of darkness onto the enemies below, as she descends she envelops herself in a sphere making contact with the ground releasing a wave onto every enemy.

2. Dark Drive: Zoroark becomes enveloped in a dark aura, and dashes at the enemy, continuosly damaging them on each pass while teleporting. She then sends them into the air, and envelops them in a dark sphere, and slams them in the ground. With the explosion creates pillars of darkness to rise out of the ground hitting enemies in specific areas.

3. Illusion Blast: Zoroark uses her powers of illusion to trick the enemy into thinking it is being grabbed by a dark hand. She then builds up power in her hand and releases a beam of darkness onto the held Pokemon.

Raven the Lucario:

1. Aura Storm: Lucario leaps into the air and focuses the aura into his hands raining down a beam of energy onto the enemies below creating a wave of aura energy, damaging all enemies near the blast.

2. Radiant Charge: (Description needed)

3: Divine Judgement: (Learned only when certain conditions are met, after visiting the 3 temples of the old Arceus, after beating each of the bosses that gaurd it will he then learn this attack.) Lucario focuses immense energy within him, he then unleashes it onto the enemy by creating an Arcane Circle under them, (enemies can avoid this if they jump over right as the circle appears) then lights of pure energy rain down on to the circle where the enemies have been snared. After the lights have finished showering down a massive earthquake knocks them into the air sending them onto their backs. (Must be in Overdrive to initiate.) <== Reference attack much?

Grace the Shaymin: All ideas for her attacks can go here since I have not came up with any ;P.

Also on another side note of many, I have a file with all the Pokemon Attacks on it, as well as custom ones that I came up with.
