Pokémon Scarlet Version

~Introduction~

Hi. My name is Lorem Ipsum, and you may know me from other parts of the forums, and indeed, other boards entirely. Earlier this month, Pokémon Scarlet was handed over to me to make by an old friend called Houndoomed, who retired from game-making for personal and family reasons.

Pokémon Scarlet Version is a new fangame based on Nintendo's extremely popular franchise, Pokémon. It includes 149 new Pokémon custom created by our team, a whole new region to explore, a new and mysteriously interesting storyline, new characters and much much more!

As of July 22nd 2008, Version 1.0 of Pokémon Scarlet's Demo was released, and the download can be found here. Note: Game will only work on Windows, unfortunately.

I hope you enjoy the game!

~Basic Plot~

In most of the world, things have been peaceful for quite some time. A rising Pokemon star has been accused of many crimes, his name: Giovanni. You are his neighbor, a 13 year-old boy named Lance*, and have to prove him innocent. In the process, you must seek him out across the land of Koyoto with your cousin Clair**. It turns out that he actually committed those heinous crimes. You must stop his growing organization before Koyoto is in turmoil. Along the way you will develop your skills as a trainer.

* You will be in the past in this game, and you will play the young Lance, from the Elite 4.
** Clair is Lance's cousin and grows up to be Gym Leader of Blackthorn City.

~Storyline~

Today is your 13th birthday. To celebrate, you're getting your very own Pokémon. Your Mum wakes you up, and you visit Prof. Maple to receive your starter Pokémon.
Professor Maple gives you and your younger cousin, Clair, a Starter Pokémon each. She also gives both of you five Pokéballs and your very own Pokédex. You thank her, and then head back home.
Later on at your house, Clair comes barging in, claiming she saw a group of men dressed in black clothes head into Professor Maple's Lab and force her into a black van which then took off.
You start to go to the police station but Clair stops you. She says that since both of them have Pokémon, they should find Professor Maple themselves.
Your mother begins to disagree, but you assure her that you and Clair will be fine, and that your Pokémon will protect the two of you.
And with that, you set out on your journey to find the people who kidnapped Professor Maple and return her to safety.

Re: Pokémon Scarlet Version

Okay, so it looks good this far. But for Pete's sake, uncapitalize the Pokémon's names. I was going to type that in caps but I realized how hypocritical that would be. :3
 
Re: Pokémon Scarlet Version

We're going for the more traditional Pokémon look, I'm afraid, with names and trademarks being capitalised. In future versions, this may be changed, but for now, we're going to stick with this.

The Pokémon will have authentic original cries eventually, but for now, this will be at the bottom of the agenda.
 
Re: Pokémon Scarlet Version

This looks awesome :D

May I ask, though, what exactly is the point of a Smeargle evolution? Smeargle can literally be and do anything, so what exactly is the need for an evolution?
 
Re: Pokémon Scarlet Version

The fakemon designs are pretty good. :3 Although I would advise you not to focus so much on official art, but rather getting sprites for the game.

I have a few pet peeves about the game though:
-The Professor is never kidnapped in the official games, but... I still see this in most fangames for some reason. Seems like a functional plot device, but it's kinda uncreative if you ask me. (...Actually... they did use it, in Pokemon XD. So.)
-Light type. <<
-What's the evil team called, and what legendary do they awaken? In other words, are you being cheap and going with the copypasted drivel for your fangame's plot, or is it something original?
-FRLG graphics... um... it may not be within your spriters' capacity to make an entirely new tileset, but d'you think you could maybe at least tweak the pallettes a little? I'm tired of seeing the same scenery in every fangame.
-I'm not a fan of the water starters. :/ Maybe I just don't like frogs, but it seems to me their designs aren't too creative-- they just get bigger as they evolve.

...Uh... so... looks like you've made some good progress. ^^; I can't force you to change what you're doing, but maybe my critique can help a little.

Who's your Pokemon spriter? He sprites well, although he needs to work on his outline shading. xD;
 
Re: Pokémon Scarlet Version

Thank you all for your comments.

Zephyrous Castform: A Smeargle evolution was simply put there to give Smeargle a bit of a stat boost and make it more powerful in game.

Worst Username Ever: Probably not, I have to say. If you did, it would be very difficult to implement into the game, as your rival is the character you did not pick. It may be possible in future versions of the game.

Involuntary Twitch: The evil team is Team Rocket; in the era before Lance comes into power as gym leader and champion when Giovanni is the leader. They are attempting to awaken Atlantia, the main legendary Pokémon for this game. It's not for Aqua/Magma-ish reasons, though; they need it for something else which will be revealed in due course.

The water starters aren't my favourite Pokémon either in this game.

Our spriter is somebody called Sprite Killer, and she has done very well in spriting so many things in a short period of time (all of these in about a month or so).
 
Re: Pokémon Scarlet Version

Double Post to update:

The demo version has now been released. The link is in the first post, third paragraph.
 
Re: Pokémon Scarlet Version

This looks awesome. I'm posting as the file is being downloaded and looking at the screenshots the game looks great. I'm going to get Stipoldos as a starter[the grass one] The fakemon's art is quite good and rather offical looking to me or maybe it's just me. I'll report back when the download's finished and give my opinion then.

Re: Pokémon Scarlet Version

How do you download the demo? I want to see how awesome this demo is but I don't know how to download it. Could someone explain please?
 
Re: Pokémon Scarlet Version

I can't seem to download it either. There's no link there...
FileFront.com is much easier.

EDIT: Nevermind. I feel like such an idiot now. ><

I downloaded it and it is awesome from the get go. Except for two things. One, it's kinda weird how he goes down stairs, and two, HE CAN STAND ON TOP OF THIS DESK!

Re: Pokémon Scarlet Version

I managed to download it, but then the file disappeared. O_o But that might be the fault of the computer I was using... Meh, I'll download it again when I get back to Canada.

Tropiking: At the top of the page is a code. Enter the code, click download and it'll start.
 
Re: Pokémon Scarlet Version

I managed to download it, but when I opened the game icon, it closed as soon as it opened. How can I fix this? I'm currently running Windows XP.
 
Re: Pokémon Scarlet Version

It could also be that you don't have a good enough graphics card. I remember I used to have that problem.
