you should make it so that you can pick any of the starters and you should have a gold magikarp (shiny). also you should make it so you could get all the legendaries

I really laughed at the cabinet by the bookshelf. Pokegrounds is awesome.

Karshgen 2009-05-19 21:42:48

Oh also I did notice. In the text area when i "talked" to the bed, I was still able to change my directions.

Shadowgod485 2009-05-19 21:48:54

Great start, I know it will be a good game.

Zyphonee 2009-05-19 21:49:08

You should do it, actually, I am so sure you should do it you should even draw the sprites from zero, the backgrounds and fucking everything, maybe even IMPROVE instead of using someone's talent!

Okami7577 2009-05-19 22:10:05

I think you should do it!

TheDeliMan 2009-05-19 22:31:44

great idea do it

Kyrbz 2009-05-19 22:36:10

Of course you should make it. I don't think there is one flash actual pokemon game - for free, at least. One-up 'em all. Put in a mix of the new and GSC pokes, and make new leaders. That would be fuckin' awesome. I would be in debt from the bottom of my heart. And throw in some secret sex scenes, k'? lol

Im hopping it would be great!! :D

You are now average NG user, no matter how troll-like your posts are.

(In response to your response to my comment :3)

I forgot about all the NPCs, so I guess text would be needed.

By inventories, I meant like your items bag, your inventory of the pokemon in your party, and hteir inventories of moves available, not to mention the PP left on each move and all that.

So making it would be a real pain >.<

Lexx21 2009-05-19 23:21:18

You should try and add in like a party (ash/misty/brock) sorta thing if possible.

I wouldn't mind one, but there are problems with your controls. If you hold down one button, then push another and let of it, you will keep going that direction (even though you are only holding down a different button at that point).

someone13 2009-05-19 23:31:57

Dude Make it...
I can help you with the coding... I'm reeeeaaaaalllyy just being bored here...
oh And your AWESOME dude!

Note to all shitty comment on this:
Why dont you all accept this, i mean his making this stuff for us to have fun!!!
Fucking ASSHOLES like you people should die die die!!!!!

(ahem) Make more movie and make the Game!! I'm supporting you all the way...

MAYORMCHEESE 2009-05-19 23:32:00

I think it already exists dude, it's called "Pokemon Leaf Green"

boobby 2009-05-20 01:25:19

It's nice movement but without an actual battle or gameplay or hint of a storyline it's hard to judge. How will you make it different from the actual Pokemon storyline? Why would I want to play this rather than the actual game? A big reason why I hate Pokemon is because it's too easy. Once you hit a certain level you can pretty much own the elite four with like 2 or 3 different pokemon 1 hit KOs.

So just give an example (or lots) of how your game will be better than the actual game so I'd get a better idea of what to expect. Thanks.

imjeffhip 2009-05-20 01:28:09

i'd rather just play an actual pokemon game

Deadclever23 2009-05-20 01:51:56

Are you 10 years old?

chaotixchild 2009-05-20 02:19:40

if you do end up doing this make it so you can start off with any first level pokemon so i can start off with a growlithe and make my beloved arcanine lol, also just be careful of copy right infringement, i mean your basically just recreating the game with your jokes.

Doomsday-One 2009-05-20 03:15:22

Firstly, the copyright issues everyone has been talking about:
Nintendo normally don't take action on any sort of copyright infringement from small Flash developers. However, by replicating so many aspects of your game, you're at risk.
I doubt they would, unless your game got very popular and they considered it to be 'budging in' on their profits (as people are playing your game instead of buying theirs). However, they may be glad for the publicity; especially if you put in lots of ridiculous "Buy Pokémon!" messages.

Secondly, I feel that, although using Pokémon will attract lovers of the series, many people on Newgrounds will dislike the game for your 'theft' of the image, as well as those who just have an obsessive dislike of the series.
For this, and reason one above, I strongly suggest you change the game from Pokémon to your own contraption. What I mean by this is, have your own characters, storyline, monsters, etc. Of course, keep in plently of Pokémon references to please the fans.
I honestly think that this will make it more accepted on Newgrounds and the internet in general.

Finally, regardless of which style you go for in the end, I really hope you're using tile-based programming. Read up on it if you haven't heard of it.
Simply, tile-based programming is the kind of engine Nintendo uses for Pokémon, and it makes a huge difference to the file size of the .swf file; instead of storing each room as a bunch of movie clips, you store it as a series of numbers.
If you decide to use this path, I suggest you have one array for the floor, one for the objects/people, and one for the object functions (eg. what the character says when you interact with the object).

I hope you take this all into account, and good luck!
By the way, the Flash forum is always there if you need any programming help! Just make sure to select the small bit of code causing the problem (not the whole thing!), add a file to demonstrate your problem if you wish (both .fla and .swf would be helpful), and make sure to clearly explain your problem, as well as the Actionscript version you are using.
