Released Pokemon Sunset (Progress Check)

​

Introduction: This game is a double-battle focused Pokemon game, with the option to fight alongside Partners that join you throughout your Journey. You'll be able to view and level your Trainer's Pokemon as well as adjust them by using TM's and giving them held items. With adjusted experience formula, you'll be able to train up Pokemon under level 50 quickly so you can adjust your party to beat specific opponents.

Starters: Kirlia, Absol, Riolu

Plot: Various things have been disappearing all over Orange Peak. Is it a Pokemon? A thief? Investigate with Yuki as one discovery leads to a never ending spiral of mystery.

Features:
- Partner's Pokemon party screen (Can use TMs and have them hold Items)
- Your Partner's Pokemon can level up
- Switch between multiple Partners
- Control your Partner's Pokemon in Battle
- Almost every trainer battle is Double Battle
- New experimental Fishing mechanic
- Skip certain long cutscenes by holding the down key (at the beginning of each cutscene)
- Gen 7 Pokemon and Abilities
- Adjusted multiple Pokemon to evolve normally by leveling without having to trade, happiness, etc.

To do's and Known bugs
- Can't use items on Partner's Pokemon in battle.
- Plan to further customize your Partner's Pokemon (Change name and Remember moves)
- Update various art assets (In battle Partner sprites, etc)
- Pokedex UI update and number adjustments
- Plan to add more NPCs
- Aquarin Town is under extreme construction (no content)
- Possible plan to disable use items in Battle and possibly focus on use of berries
- Plan to add more Partner content.
- Autosave and ways to back up trainer data.

Spoiler: Screenshots

This game is at its experimental stages. It is bound to have multiple bugs and not very much content. It's my first Pokemon game so I thought I'd post here and get some feedback before I advance my game further. Please save often and consistently check your Partner's Pokemon party to check for errors. Since I'm working on this game alone, I predict that my progress with this game won't be as fast as I would like... I would appreciate it if I can get some help from others in scripting, plot progression and battle balancing.

I also found a Lv. 100 Decidueye in Crystal Falls South. Is this a bug?

Whoops, that's supposed to be a pokeball;;
I swear I took it out...

In the meanwhile, try to keep it in your PC and only use it if you really get frustrated in a fight X)

 

[DestinyBond]

Oh, and I'm pretty sure I encountered a Lightning rod Oshawott.------------------------

Can I please keep Power? He knows False Swipe and Surf, so he's been quite helpful.

 

[Nigthmare Dodo]

I liked the idea of the game,but it's pretty laggy,sometimes music glitches and it goes pertty slow too,that most happens in battles

 

[Djaco75]

I really like the game so far, it seems like a cool story that has many points of interest in it. I think that the new plot ideas will intrigue some players. A quick feedback here - the new Absol evolution just looks like a cross between a Mega Absol and the original with the saturation turned down a little. I think it's fine to keep it this way, but if you plan to introduce or have introduced Mega Evolution, a new Mega-Absol design may be required.

Overall, I think it looks really good so far - can't wait to see where you go with it!

I can't really remove a Pokemon from your save file so you can keep it probably.
And I've edited the Starters abilities so you can encounter starters with hidden abilities in the wild.

Hmm... I'm not sure if that's a elite battle thing or my game.
I've encountered it too but I think it occurs when you have low memory and are doing double battles.

[Nigthmare Dodo]

Ok Sora,thank you i will remove some things i dont need so i can play it

 

[Mozart]

Okay! I'm back with the demo about as far as I can complete it I think (just fought What's-His-Name) with some proper feedback/bug reports!

Pros:
I love the art, it's very cute, and the main characters having little expression portraits is an equally cute touch (especially seeing as Yuki does most of the talking for you)
I don't have an educated view of sprites or mapping but from what I've seen they look consistent enough in style (oddities aside like gen 7 Pokemon not having overworld following sprites)
I really like the idea of the healing stations/telling you what Pokemon is on the route at the beginning of a new route and they've worked consistently (except a minor thing I'll address in bugs)
Thank god you have access to most (all? I think all) of the starters in beginning routes, building a team of your basic type elemental matchups is very easy

Cons:
I cannot for the life of me figure out how the fishing is supposed to work
Minor dialog stuff like NPCs saying "shit" and being asked the "are you a cat person or a dog person?" question is kinda jarring for a Pokemon game even if it's a fan one (and believe me I'm not a prude about swearing)
Trainer battles seem almost...abnormally stacked against you? Like you can have a type advantage and level advantage over a trainer's Pokemon but there's still a risk of your whole team getting wiped out and seemingly little effect with attacks that should be super effective

Not a con just a future consideration for whenever this goes alpha:
Please make sure grammar and spelling is checked thoroughly in your scripts (I tell this to pretty much everybody)

Overall:
I enjoyed playing what you have so far! I'm looking forward to whatever comes next (and finding out that level 100 Decidueye was a mistake is kind of hilarious, I was legitimately panicking like "oh god did I steal someone else's Pokemon but the OT trainer says me??)

Oddities/Bugs:

Local species display in Route 2 first shows POKEMON IN ALL CAPS and cuts off at Foongus as FOO, from then on it displays "Pokemon in Route 1 are" and lists the Pokemon in Route 1.

Shadows of invisible people appeared while I was walking around with my buddy SquirtBoy:

Spoiler

This man is trapped and that Pokeball seems like it should be reachable but I can't get to it, this isn't the first area I've seen like this

Spoiler

Anyway! Thank you for making this game!

 

[Sora]

Okay! I'm back with the demo about as far as I can complete it I think (just fought What's-His-Name) with some proper feedback/bug reports!

Oh my god, thank you so much! I appreciate this greatly~!

To address your feedback...
- The fishing part was pretty rushed... I might have to refine it a little bit. But how it works is when the arrow sign flashes above your head, you're supposed to hold down that arrow key (don't let go until your character flashes an emote)
- Hmm, I'll have to look over my dialogue. I've been trying to make sure I don't make this game too edgy;;
- Definitely thought some of the trainer battles were too difficult. I'm thinking of removing some moves and tone down their IVs.
- Ahh... the shadows... They were supposed to be my bandage on pokemon followers not having shadows... I might have to remove them.
- I've added some npcs that are inaccessbile just for decoration. Might remove the pokeballs though. I put them there so I can have them as reference for making similar pokeball events.

Thank you for playing. Hope you enjoy the rest of the experience :D

busto-jitsu says it makes the battlefield weird when you use it in a fight.in the it description says its an attack base 80 power physical ghost type and super effective against fighting types is this meant to happen

Whoops. I believe this is a problem with me forgetting to prevent re-entry.
Yuki should be telling you to visit the room on the left instead.
