    Mega Evolution - Which Pokemon Need it for End Game (PVP)

    When it comes to fan games I'm not especially interested in how the post-game meta evolves (or doesn't), so instead I'll use this thread to talk about Megas in general. So, I've come to the conclusion that you can do one of two things with Mega Evolutions: 1. Look at the NU tier, analyze why...

    References and Memes in Fan Games

    On the note of the "over 9000" trainer - for me, the amusement came more from the "wow, they actually went there" amazement than the innate hilarity of the quote. Intentional or not, I don't really think that's the kind of comedy most writers want to rely on.

    Iron Mapper IRON MAPPER: Trial I

    Doing this mainly because a certain Jayrodd told me to. I love sticking out like a sore thumb! Map Name: Town Under Construction Trial: Trial I - New Beginnings Map: Critique Requested: i threw this together in under two hours and there's about fifty things wrong with it but if you want to...

    Kanto

    Kanto was rather boring, but I'll let them off on the "it was their first try" excuse. On the Game Boy in particular, I imagine making nice, distinct-looking cities would be been a bit much on top of all of the other work they had to do (the development cycle was something like six years to...

    Gating Content

    I'm sure there are plenty of problems with this one which you can argue about later, but how about a third option of not gating off content but giving the player no reason whatsoever to go there? Example, if all of the HMs were removed from Mt. Coronet you could hike all the way up to the Spear...

    Other [Legacy] Project Sandbox

    Unsure whether I want go down this rabbit hole, but . . . I'm not sure how optimistic I'd be about this. 1. How much time do you have? Do you plan to complete this before the heat death of the universe? 2. How many people are you working with? 3, How much experience do you have? Have you ever...

    5b. Pokémon Uncensored had zero substance and should not be considered precedent to do the same thing.

    Discussion What type of gamer are you?

    I think there was a thread about this on olde Relic but I can't remember what people said so I'm doing it again. Some of you may have heard of Bartle's taxonomy for player types, also known as "are you an Explorer, Socializer, Killer or Achiever?" You can fit into more than one category. I'm...

    Shiny Pokémon

    I don't really like the colors of most shinies, least of all my own, but they generally don't affect gameplay in any way so I don't really care what you do with them in-game. Might as well boost the shiny rate so more people get to enjoy them, I guess. Would be neat if you made your rival's...

    References and Memes in Fan Games

    I don't remember 100% what I wrote in this thread on the old forum but it was something along the lines of "as long as it doesn't significantly interfere with more important things like, I dunno, plot." Here's a fancy checklist. - Does the meme or reference still make sense in English if the...

    Music in Games - What are the Red Flags?

    I don't know a whole lot about music but these are two things that I notice from time to time: - as with color palettes, the set of instruments you use should look moderately nice alongside each other. Please do not compose classical music with a random square wave in it. - if my windows...

    One Off Mechanics

    I had a nice, long post written up and then I realized this thread was about "one-off mechanics that we liked" and not "HMs that we wished existed." Don't ask. From existing games, things that I hope to see again: - floating cities like Pacifidlog (or mostly floating cities) - the leaf...

    Starters

    I like the last point so I'll ignore the first two. Some ideas I've toyed with in the past: - Using literal RNG to dish out a starter, if you don't like it, restart the game. - Choose your starting city/location at the beginning of the game instead of your starting Pokémon, and make your...

    Fakemon: Do You Need Them?

    If you are troubled by unpopular opinions, I suggest you skip this post (◡‿◡✿) Do you need them? Absolutely not. This is like asking if you need to know how to implement Dijkstra's Algorithm whilst blindfolded in order to print out "Hello, World" on the command line. What do you think...

    Released [Abandonware?] Pokémon Shadow Unbound

    So in a time and place long ago I made this 3D Pokémon game called "Pokémon Shadow Unbound." I'm no longer working on it, for better or for worse, which means that I'm not fielding complaints that it crashes about twenty minutes in or that one of the miniature quests is tedious as hell (which it...
