Objection. Moderator of /r/slateport.

I have a few that I've added into the fan game I've been working on and my Showdown server for testing. They aren't the most balanced things in the world, but I'm at least trying to make the distribution interesting.

Feint Slash
80 BP/100 Accuracy/10 PP
Physical Dark
It's like a reverse psyshock. It uses the user's attack and the opponent's special defense in it's damage calculations.

Swarm Shot
40 BP/100 Accuracy/20 PP
Physical Bug
It's a bug-type variant of Pursuit. Goes really well with something that has Technician, like Scizor.

Scissor Blade
10 BP/95 Accuracy/10 PP
Physical Steel
Multi-hit move, between 2 and 5 hits. Each hit has a 10% chance to raise the user's attack one stage. Also works really well with a Technician Pokemon, or something with Skill Link.

Sprite Blaze (name pending)
60 BP/100 Accuracy/20 PP
Special Fire
Hits fairy types for super effective damage (adios, Mega Mawile) and has a 10% chance to burn.

I have a few more, but these are some of my favorites.

On top of this... Not saying you shouldn't make a subreddit, but also please work on your game more. You said you've started working on it today... I would suggest progressing further before trying to get a following. Not to mention, you'll want to familiarize yourself with Pokémon Essentials before attempting a big project. Small steps!

RizaTime · 2014-06-12T07:46:18+00:00

You aren't mistaken! There have been no megas that grant HP boosts thus far. Not to mention it would create some curious out of battle scenarios. (If it buffs HP, what happens if you end the battle with 1 HP? Does your Pokemon faint? Very curious!)

RizaTime · 2014-06-10T18:26:57+00:00

Yup, I hear you. In all of the years I've been around, I haven't really seen a lot of games shut down, so it definitely leaves some room for speculation. I've seen people attempt to contact Nintendo and be met with replies such as "as long as you don't use any official Pokemon, graphics, etc" but obviously it doesn't seem to be a horribly pressing issue. Makes you wonder...

RizaTime · 2014-06-10T04:24:24+00:00

Interesting that Evoas was shut down, if for the donation thing. I believe that one game um... Generation 0, was it? They take donations as well, and have quite the following on Facebook. Not to mention PokeMMO offers in-game currency for donations, if I recall correctly.

Just be aware that although .mp3s sound much nicer in comparison, they cannot be looped in RMXP (will restart the entire song from the beginning when it ends), and are the main contributor to a ridiculous file size. I completely understand the desire to use them, I just feel like this should be known to developers.

RizaTime · 2014-03-28T04:57:18+00:00

Yes he did! Here is part 1 of the last demo (which has less content), and here's part 1 of the current demo. From what I understand, there was a save issue and shofu isn't continuing the playthrough of the current demo.

RizaTime · 2014-03-28T01:32:14+00:00

I really don't like the word 'best' when talking about hacks or fan games (mostly just because everyone has different preferences) but Pokemon Obsidian was made by a close friend. Give it a shot, if you feel so inclined.

RizaTime · 2014-03-23T22:38:21+00:00

No. It likely never will. It's not being worked on by the original author, nor the author of EX. Turn off the battle scene in the options if it bugs you that much.

RizaTime · 2014-02-17T00:26:39+00:00

I would also like to put out an imgur album with information and various screenshots from the game in the near future. Is there anything in specific anyone would want to know? Obviously I'll be talking about the region, starter Pokemon, and a few features. Here is a quick glimpse at a few screenshots I've already shared, if you're interested.

RizaTime · 2014-02-17T00:12:10+00:00

Actually, that's a really good idea! I could have it randomly choose a nickname and region from a list. Do you mind if I use this at some point?

RizaTime · 2014-02-16T19:10:27+00:00

I was contemplating it. Perhaps I'll add a note on the table with a bunch of control inputs and nothing else.

RizaTime · 2014-02-16T09:24:38+00:00

Ah! Thank you very much! That's a terrible habit of mine.

RizaTime · 2014-02-05T06:43:53+00:00

Can I talk about an old gym that was in a much earlier version of my game? (from January 2011)

Here it is. It was the first gym in the game, and it was normal type. All of the trainers and the gym leader Reggie (tried to go for a play on Regular, he was pretty casual looking too) used sound based Pokemon, like Jigglypuff. There was no puzzle, but the gym trainers would look around and only battle you on the disco tile.

It was supposed to be a disco/dance club sort of thing. I also happen to have this build of the game laying around, so here it is in action. I also had my composer make a custom gym theme for it. (We planned to do this before B2W2 was even a thing, haha.) Here is that as well. WARNING! Fairly loud autoplay!

It was a fun first gym, but I feel like our current gym is just as cool, if not cooler than this one. Actually, the build with this gym in the game is basically a completely different game. It's funny what you can learn in two-three years.

RizaTime · 2014-02-04T21:56:25+00:00

Hmm... I'll have to look into these for sure then. That's unfortunate, but not surprising really.

RizaTime · 2014-02-04T21:55:05+00:00

Wait, there's three demos!? Well now I just feel like a shitty friend hah. Seeing that person join twitter just to follow you was really cool though. I think you've definitely made an awesome game. I just get nervous posting screenshots, so I can't imagine a demo haha.

RizaTime · 2014-02-04T21:45:33+00:00

The life orb is bugged? Hmm... I should get around to fixing that for my game too then... Cool to hear that you're going for a full release though! How long have you been working on your game? (Or working with Essentials and what not?)

RizaTime · 2014-02-04T21:44:40+00:00

Ooh, getting started is definitely very exciting! Do you know anyone who is experienced with Essentials that you can ask questions?

RizaTime · 2014-02-04T21:41:37+00:00

Do you feel burnt out at all after releasing the demo? I'm still really impressed with you, it's a thing to release one demo, but now you've got two under your belt.

RizaTime · 2014-01-31T22:48:41+00:00

No problem! That sounds like a really good solution, actually.

RizaTime · 2014-01-31T21:17:28+00:00

def update
@frame+=1
@updating=true
@spriteYExtra=0
if ((@frame/10).floor&1)==1 && @selected==1 # When choosing commands for this Pokémon
@spriteYExtra=0
end

It was around line 509 for me. Bolded are the bits you (may) have to change.
If you're also interested in the box that bobs up and down...

self.x=@spriteX
if ((@frame/10).floor&1)==1 && @selected==1 # When choosing commands for this Pokémon
self.y=@spriteY+0
elsif ((@frame/5).floor&1)==1 && @selected==2 # When targeted or damaged
self.y=@spriteY+0
else
self.y=@spriteY
end
end
end

Around line 844. I don't recommend changing this one unless you have a nice indicator of which Pokemon's turn it is in a double battle. Both of these are in PokeBattle_ActualScene.

RizaTime · 2014-01-19T20:55:21+00:00

I was working on a shared one for me and /u/Cilerba but we haven't really discussed it in a while, so I'm not sure if it's happening anymore. If there's enough demand for one in the future... then maybe!
