April Fools Pokémon Amethyst Version: A Relic Castle Community Project

A Relic Castle Community Project
​

Introduction

Today, I'm proud to announce that Pokémon Amethyst Version is complete! After twelve months of hard work -- YOUR HARD WORK -- the community game we started just only a year ago is ready for release. Your blood, sweat, and tears went into this tall order of a project, but we all banded together to complete it in the end.

Not only did you, the community, do all the heavy lifting with this project -- you were involved in every major decision about the project: from the title of the game, to the final Pokémon battle.

I'm absolutely thrilled to introduce Pokémon Amethyst Version: A Relic Castle Community Project to you. Let's dive in.

Story

Welcome to the Yurruc region! The story takes place many, many years before the start of Pokémon Diamond and Pearl, before the region had its name changed to the “Sinnoh” region. In this game, explore the exciting region of Yurruc before the war. You are a ten year old Pokémon trainer school student with an itch for adventure. Professor Koko, recognizing your potential, allows you take one of his Pokemon on a journey with you.

As time passes, the war will begin to unfold, and you’ll find yourself at the center of a dual-region conflict. The more you play, the more you’ll learn that a mysterious, completely new Pokemon seems to be at the heart of the conflict. The decisions you make throughout the game will determine the fate of both regions. There will be multiple endings to represent your decisions as the player.

A New Threat: Amethyst Pokémon

While exploring the Yurruc region, you'll come across the ever-menacing Amethyst Pokémon! These strange creatures seem to act in unison, as if they're taking orders from something... In battle, these Pokémon are Amethyst type. Type matchups against Amethyst types is generated on the spot when the attack lands -- you'll never know what your attack, or the Amethyst type's, will do.

Passage of Time

Pokémon Amethyst Version is a fairly long game, totaling over 80 hours of game time. When you start the game as a young child, you'll notice that over time your character will grow older the longer you play. A popular request and eventual decision by the community was to have your player character eventually die of old age -- Pokémon Amethyst Version isn't just a race against the impending destruction of both regions, but against time itself.

Online Play

The evolution of fan games is here! Pokémon Amethyst Version utilizes the latest scripts from Luka S.J. to implement online play with the powerful Lua language!

Battle and trade online with your close friends, maybe you'll even want to mix records, which replaces the rival character with your friend's player character! Not only that, but your adventures might even be intertwined with new events happening in both your games -- exclusive to those who have mixed records with others!

If you aren't a fan of competing with your friend, you're also welcome to dive into the feature rich cooperative mode we have in place for you! You and three other friends can band together, and defeat the Amethyst Pokémon, which will scale in difficulty the more friends you play with! Or maybe you'll want to take a trip to Sambasé Island, where the toughest of groups compete in 4v4 Pokémon battles!

And So Much More!

There's so much more to talk about! From replacing HMs with Shoes (Light-up Sneakers replacing Flash, Steel-toed Boots for kicking to replace Strength), to catching every single known Pokémon and writing your own Pokédex entries, the community has made sure this feature rich game is packed full of content to keep you occupied. That being said, we want it to be a surprise! There's so much to discover in Pokémon Amethyst Version!

However, at the current moment, we're still fixing bugs with the game. We want this to be a completely bug free experience, and we're nearly there! We won't be releasing until all the bugs are gone, so just sit tight!

I'm really glad this turned out so well, I'm really proud of the hard work everyone put in. Since I don't really talk with anyone a whole lot, I didn't hear too much about the drama that happened, but from the little I did hear it seemed pretty bad. I'm glad everyone pulled through and helped finish the game.

I'm a little miffed you forgot to write my name down in the contributors list, since I worked so hard on giving all those coffee cups, bookcases, stoves and otherwise decorative objects their own unique piece of text. It's understandable though, since no one cares enough to interact with them anyway.

I think I contributed to this project as the amnesiac op anime manga ligth novel protagonist who cant remember contributing to this project and isnt a protagonist at all. Also I made the spring boots power up for the pokemon so they can jump like mario in the plataformer section.

You guys, I'm really insulted. :(
I was the one who caused all of the bugs, but you're not crediting me for them AND you say you're not releasing the game until you get rid of them? This game was my child!! Why are you undoing my contributions? D':
I honestly can't even right now...

Edit: Oh, and I don't see my name in the credits for the Fakemon? I made, like, twenty of them? Does nobody remember this? The tentacle monster Legendary Score? You all kept saying the perspective on their reference sheets was impossible and that you couldn't interpret their designs, but I thought the consensus was that you were still using them...

Man, making this game went by so fast that I didn't even know I was a part of it. And apparently, you all seem to have forgotten my important contribution. I was the Bronzong Hat Coordinator. Let's be real, the game just wouldn't make sense if all the Bronzongs didn't have their hats. Except for Larry. He just had to wear a leather jacket.

All in all, it was a lot of fun, and I can't wait to see the community enjoy it!

It's alright that you took my Sooper Sound Quality DX 2.00 & Knuckles script without credit. I made that to be completely public domain and I'm honored that you used it.

Why did you take my 4 direction walking script and my automatic game creator script without permission? It took a lot of effort to make them...

Is there going to be a crossover game in the future with Pokémon Ruby, Sapphire, and Pearl? It should be called Pokémon Alexandrite.

After such an arduous year full of passion and heart from this community, I can finally look forward to sharing this extraordinary act of love and to savoring the true gaming experience that is Pokémon Amethyst.

I am so thankful to have had the opportunity to work with all of you on this unbelievable project. As the developer for the Nintendo Switch and PS Vita ports for Pokémon Amethyst, I cannot wait to share this game with eager fans wanting to play the game on the consoles they love.

I couldn't help but notice that I'm not on the contributors list. If you wouldn't mind, I would love to be able to show friends and family that I helped out with one of the most notable video game titles of 2017. Thank you.

I integrated the new type chart, with 5 new original types: Sound, Light, Audio, Nuclear, and Meat, each of which are weak to Dragon, immune to Fairy, and beat Dark. I'm also the one who provided the sprite for MechaSkitty 2.0, although Curry was the one who made the original Mecha Skitty.
