After a conversation between Dex and I...
...we have decided to start a tSR Pokemon/Fakemon game!
Called "Pokemon Prism" for obvious reasons, this is a community project where people wishing to participate can sprite Fakemon front/back sprites, Pokemon Trainer battle/overworld sprites, and of course tiles. This will be using pretty much the same code as the CPP's Pokemon engine, but altered to be orthogonal and using the traditional Pokemon battle system. Obviously before we begin a community project we need the community's input, so feel free to make suggestions. Here are a few of mine:
-No underground, the mining game can be played at various caves and secret bases are the way they were in RSE.
-A looser storyline. You don't have to beat Team Whatever or catch the legendary and side-quests are more common and vary in difficulty and rewards.
-Not all Pokemon are available from the beginning. Some are unlocked from events. That said, even more can be added to the Pokedex in later updates.
-Replace the Sinnoh evolution methods. The Moss Rock is the Leaf Stone, Mt. Coronet is the Moon Stone, etc.
-While Fakemon can be pretty cool, I personally despise fake types.
-More HM's? And maybe even nerf Fly to a certain range, which makes Diglett's Cave-like tunnels or Magnet Train/Mr. Briny-like transportation very important.
-More important in-game trades, like Jynx/Mr. Mime/Farfetch'd in RB
-Revamp Contests to the point where it becomes a whole different branch of the game. As in, you don't have to be a trainer at all if you're a coordinator.
-Actually random weather
-Include previous regions, but give them a revamp?
idk, those are my ideas. We'd love to hear yours!

SengirDev says:

adam/dex- SOCCER! says:

SengirDev says:
-I was literally just about to suggest to start a tSR Fakemon game in the "Fakemon Appreciation Thread"
-like I was typing it when you messaged me
adam/dex- SOCCER! says:
-because i have been playing a lot of pokemon lately
-cuz of hgss
-we could have everyone sprite a trainer
-and a map sprite
-etc
Quote:adam/dex- SOCCER! says:
-yes
-we should seriously do this man
-we could use pre-existing sprites, you know
SengirDev says:
-could we mix in tSR-created Fakemon?
adam/dex- SOCCER! says:
-and then add some of our own pokemon maybe
-yea
SengirDev says:
-because that would be a fun community project
- After I do more on FM I would so program that
(using Mono.XNA so Windows, Macs, and Linuxes can run it)
adam/dex- SOCCER! says:
-let's do it
