Yet Another Pokemon Game - Idea Thread

Postby Dapper Gent » Tue Dec 16, 2014 11:45 pm

So I have been inspired by Humbirdo, Dark_Onix and various others to finally start making my own game..or two. Project Splicers (viewtopic.php?f=28&t=3331) is my original game idea. However, thanks to the first two people I mentioned I really want to start a Pokemon game that follows closely to the first two seasons of the anime, often trailing right ahead or right behind Ash and the crew, but also experiencing a somewhat unique adventure. Additionally, concept pending while I get in contact with Humbirdo, I really want to use the Pokemorph concept which will tie heavily into the game.

Name Pending [Project Pokemon Pink]


Plot
Follows loosely to events from the anime.

You will be playing as Bay Woods as he adventures across Kanto. During his first visit to Viridian City he witnesses the explosion of the Pokecenter there, knocking him unconscious. He awakes to find that things have changed in the world. A new pokevirus is sweeping across Kanto, one that only affects female pokemon. Little does Bay know that the fate of the virus, and the world is in his hands. And all he cares about is getting to the Pokemon League.

Although Bay will be completing the League challenge and combating Team Rocket the whole way, he will also be caught in the middle of the civil war between Pokemon Conservatives and Pokemorph Supporters.

Main Characters

Image
Bay Woods

The main character. An aspiring Pokemon trainer and assistant to Professor Oak. He is the son of an archaeologist who spends most of his time traveling the world. Bay, 16, was bored with staying in Pallet and decided to take the Pokemon League challenge, albeit a little late.

Image
Willow

An Ace Trainer apprentice that Bay finds after the Pokecenter explosion in Viridian. She is often serious but has a dry sense of humor. She later becomes part of the Pokemon Conservatives, a group that frowns upon pokephelia and is trying to cure the pokevirus and quarantine the affected pokemorphs.

Image
Reed

A Poke'maniac turned Pokemorph Researcher. Reed is met in Cerulean City where he reveals that he's trying to find Bill. After getting to Bill's Lighthouse, Bay overhears Reed and Bill arguing. Reed joins Bay and Willow after Bay beats the Sensational Sisters. He is highly energetic and becomes a Pokemorph Supporter, those who are in favor of preserving and protecting the virus and Pokemorphs.

Image
Team Rocket: Angelica and Damien

Two fresh Team Rocket recruits. Angelica and Damien are siblings whose parents were scientists in Veridian City who were working on a vaccine for a rare pokevirus but stumbled cross something that could be potentially more dangerous; a unique strand. Overhearing their parent's discussion, they rigged the building they working in to release the pokemorph virus. Claiming the explosions in Viridian City as their own doing, they joined Team Rocket shortly after. They look highly upon Jessie and James, their senior members in Kanto.

[No Image]
Todd Snap

A renown Pokemon photographer met just outside Pewter City, taking a picture of a pokemorph. He ran the Pokemon Snap shops across Kanto until the Pokemorph virus spread. Afterwards he had to turn it into an adult shop. Although Todd will only be located at the Pewter shop, he owns several Pokemon Snap locations which trainers can use to snap pictures of Pokemon in their natural surroundings.
Additionally Todd also collects pictures which act as currency in the game. He trades photographs for special Pokemon that can't be caught in the wild.

Cameos

Professor Oak, Gary, Ash and crew, Ash's mom and various characters from the show will make special appearances.

Notes

  • I am not planning on having all 151 Pokemon be available in game. However, I do plan on having a unique picture for each one in game, mainly through the photograph system. I may even have it to where if you find all 151 or so pictures then you can get special Johto pokemon...or something.
  • My aim is not really to make a hentai game, but more to make a Pokemon game with an adult twist to it. The hentai/porn will come secondary as the game goes on. I want to feel as if this game could have possibly happened in the Pokemon universe.
  • Some key points to this game are not just Hero vs Villain team, like all Pokemon games. Sure, I plan on having that. Ash couldn't have been the only person fighting Team Rocket, much more Jessie and James couldn't have been the only members operating in Kanto. But also tie in a unique moral civil war between Pokemon Conservatives (Anti-Pokemorph/Pokephilia) and the Pokemorph Supporters (Pro-Pokemorph/Pokephelia) and give a slightly altered story and ending depending on the player's choices.
    Spoiler (click to show/hide):

    An example being that at the end of the game Bay ends up with Willow as a Conservative or sharing Pokemon with Angelica as a Supporter.

    Spoiler (click to show/hide):

    I also plan on having a karma system in place. At the end of the game you'll get a bonus ending that depends on Bay's choices towards the Conservatives or Supporters or neutral, if the choice between humans and pokemon is equal.

What I Need


Another artists or two. I'm not the greatest artist in the world but I can do basic character concepts and poses. What I really need is a sprite animator/artist.
Find someone to do sound work for me or figure out how to do that myself.

I downloaded Humbird0's map editor. I have to say, for a beginner that thing is a godsend. I only have one more building to work on (Prof Oak's lab) and Pallet will be done. Now I just need to figure out how to piece them together. Today I found out how to place NPCs and how to talk to them though I haven't added any to the levels yet. I also picked out some temporary sprites to use for the 3 main characters; Bay, Reed and Willow.

I also found a fan-made map that is a close fit to the anime. The only thing I disagreed with was the placement of Bill's lighthouse which I may keep different from Bill's house which will be in the traditional location (northeast of Cerulean).

Still looking for:

CG Artist
Sprite Artist
Sound Editor

Heck, if you make this all non-hentai related and just focus on pure story, props to you man, I will gladly play and test this game out for you.
Why do you have to pages for the same game in two different sections if you know that this is going to be a flash game?
I might not create games, but I will test them, Then I will give advice on what I think needs to be added, removed, or improved.

The original post had a open discussion for flash vs RPGmaker before I found Humbird0 had his kit available to download.

However, I'm going to move all of my information over to the other thread and lock this one.
