Creating a Pokemon MMO

[Raivu]

hey everyone. I'm creating a new pokemon game, but sticking to the original theme (8/16 gym leaders, elite 4, pokemon from the first 3 generations, etc.) The only thing I'm making up is the map, town names, and gym leaders. Aside from that, everything (pokemon names, pokemon looks, map and game sprites, etc.) is as it always has been in the older games. I'm using sprites from Fire Red/Leaf Green, and Ruby/Sapphire.

So this is where you come in. I need help coming up Town names, Gym leader names, and any secret/hidden places that should be thrown in there.

In general, what is something you've always wanted to see/do in a Pokemon game?

[Also, if you want to become an NPC/Gym leader yourself, let me know. I'll make a character with your name. Just let me know what type of pokemon you would have, and which ones they are]

GAME IS BEING EDITED ON ECLIPSE (not Byond)

[HollowX]

If its online, then a market where you could trade rare (custom) items or even trade rare & common pokemon for money or other pokemon, just like an auction. For towns i have loads of strange town names in my head like Tuneron, Euris, Utus ect..

[C0FFINCASE]

Awesome stuff. IM me some time. I have lots of ideas and I would totally enjoy being someone. Also I'll help in any way I can.

[Raivu]

Hey thanks I'll get on MSN now, C0FFIN.

And HollowX, those are actually good names. mind if I use them?

[HollowX]

Go right ahead, theres loads more were that came from. Ask me if you would like me to do anything, im really looking forward to this project. Add me on Msn =D

look at this http://forum.logicalgamers.com/progr...pment-pos.html

You should name a gym leader Gabe. But in all seriousness, I'd beta or alpha test if you'd let me.

I want to have the choice to join team rocket, yo!

[HTML]

what are you writing it in?

[Raivu]

xD I've already got it included.

@gabe: For the time being, I'm making it on Byond. But I do need testers when I've reached that stage.

@Stapled I can't believe I didn't see that.

@HTML: I'm writing it on Byond for now. I like it, because it's similar to VB with some similarities to C++ thrown in it.

Anything but byond bro :/ The movements are jerky and make the otherwise well made games boring. If all you're doing is changing the map names and trainer names, then the project isnt worth it bro.

Pokemon MMOs is something you need a large team trk on. Spriters, programmers, map makers, coordinators, etc etc is just the basics of what you'd need to create a semi-successful pokemon game.

I've LOVE to use anything but Byond, but its easy to code with and get a general idea of what I want it to look like, and I've gotten a few people trk with me.
But I don't know quite enough VB to make an a game like that. lol this is the most I did on VB

You could make new powerups for the pokemon Like
Boxing gloves

Increase Attack strength in battle
And you could probrably make more evolutions

[Raivu]

like creating new pokemon?

[CL0V3R]

Raivu if you need help making new pokemon/sprites for them, I wouldn't mind giving it a shot! =D

[Raivu]

sounds great. i wasn't going to try making new pokemon but I'd like to see some samples before I decide completely

[ZenGenesis]

Thats a nice idea.
But...http://forum.logicalgamers.com/progr...pment-pos.html

I saw this, but I heard the idea might have been dropped? so idk. I'm making a mini one on byond anywho until they're done with this one.

[bsbear]

wow... if u made this amazing....................

so many kids would be on it.

But how will you get it online...?

Right now, I'd be hosting it on byond and with the 2-D game maker, I'll be hosting on a seperate network. I'm working on making an installer for it.

[h3ighl]

are you going to use pokemon up until the emerald version or use the pokemons beyond that version?

[Raivu]

Right now I've only got the first 50 of the 1st and 2nd gen. I was thinking about throwing the ruby/sapphire/emerald gen in there too.

If you want I need some Map Creators for OPS.

I have the map editor done already, it's actually rather simple if you have some skill.


Also OPS is not built using a open source engine, it is 100% custom and actually works extremely better than other open game engines.

that'd be useful. Would you be willing to share? lol

Haha, I would let you join as a map maker. Which truthfully is a high rank in the system. There is a program that you open that has all the tiles all you need to do is select a tile and then place it on the map. You can save the map and it will work with the client.

And I've built both the client and server for my MMO Version of Pokemon. And no I am sorry I am not just going to give away my work to the public so everyone can claim they built there own game.

You will never get the real Pokemon experience from a clean version of ECLIPSE/Byond/Crystal.

Because you do not have that truly flexible engine core. And if I am right I think they are coded in VB6 which does not support multi-threading which will lead to massive amount of lag for the end-user.

I have VB8. If you need a mapper, I can do that. Mapping is my Forte. I'm a good iconner also if you end up needing one of those.

[vincent329]

well this looks rather diffrent mind if i help as well

[Raivu]

well this looks rather different mind if i help as well

sure. I've got everything set for now. Can you code?

[vincent329]

sure. I've got everything set for now. Can you code?

yes and no im still a bit spoty on codeing

[Moonshinelunacy]

I'm not useful in the coding department, however, I can usually come up with rather creative ideas. PM or IM me if you need ideas for cities, new mechanics, people etc.

[Zykias]

Nice. I'll happily be a beta/alpha tester as well.

Town names?

Okinru
Gaoki
Ruten
Doyan

I just hit random keys and changed them a bit.. Feel free to use those random names..

Also, have a 'secret' island at the corner of the map, only accessable using a very complex TM combination.. And there will be, I dunno, heapsa strong/weak pokemon..

And have another secret base thingie, that was fun. But make it so you can 'upgrade' it, adding another floor, stringing to the next tree, etc.

[Iguideyou]

To be able to have not one, but a few pokemon follow you around, That would be cool . Also you can just take any Japanese/Spanish/English word, add some letters or another word, and put the word city after it. They do this in many of the games: Snowpoint city in diamond/pearl/platinum. There's snow, it's next to a mountain I believe, the word city. Ok done. Not much imagination put into these cities.

[Moonshinelunacy]

And just look at the cities from the first generation! They were all colours!

[Zykias]

They were?

[Raivu]

haha. Yeah they were. :p

Pallet Town (a color pallet)
Viridian
Pewter
Cerulean
etc.

Give me a list of pokemon you want, their attacks, items used, your icon, etc.
