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'd love it if you kept the Pokemon following the MC.

Also, I can't download the game from the first post. Google says it's violated their policies or something.

Updated the download link!
It has all the fixes I made for 0.1 so you can play it without having to download any additional things (until the next patch comes out).

Hello Sora~

I've come from your DeviantArt link, and as an avid fan of pokemon I am really excited to see you working on a fan game!
Though I'm not quite a developer myself and lack much of the skills needed, I might be able to show you where you can get pointers and maybe more support for your game!
There is another forum for fangames called Reborn. It's based of a big fangame called Pokemon Reborn, and it has quite a lot of people who are developing other similar fangames as well.
Since there are lots of people there who know lots about game developing, they might be able to help...?

In any case, I really want to see your game prosper, and hope to see the game's finished version some day!

See you then!

-Pigeon

 

[Sora]

Now that I got my new computer all set up....
Pokemon Sunset development has now resumed~!


However, the school season has started and I won't have that much time to work on the game.
As such, I'm looking to recruit some members to help me play test and develop some side stories/quests.
I just started the development so there won't be anything new to play test atm but I'd still like helpers :D

PM for discord link :)

Hi there! I had to make an account just to talk about how much I love this game! Good humour, gorgeous settings, great characters, I adore it! It's not perfect, but the bugs are to be expected in an as of yet unfinished game so I don't mind them. Most I've seen so far either fix themselves (like once my partner Pokemon just vanished, then I rested in a bed and they came back lol) or are very minor and barely noticeable.

That being said, I'm having a bit of an issue that I can't seem to fix. I'm stuck in a house in Aqaurin Town! Every time I try to leave, the game just puts me inside the external wall of the house to the left of the door, and I can't move except to go back through the door (now on the right), and it just repeats in a loop! Please help, if you can! I would love to keep playing!!!

For reference, the house is the one where you get the Light Ball :)

Thank you so much for your time, and seriously I ADORE this game, excellent job friend!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hey! So I'm having a similar problem to the Eevee fairy ribbon issue, but with the shiny stone ; o ;

Uh oh, that's not good.
Can you send me a screenshot so I can get you out somehow?

EDIT: I did a quick fix on the system file (replace system file in your DATA folder) but I can't test it at the moment so tell me if it doesn't work. I edited the door event so it should send you correctly back in front of the door.

Whoops. I'll do a quick fix on that.

Hey there! I'm afraid it hasn't seemed to work, I'm sorry! I would be happy to send you a screenshot if that will help, but I have to ask the (probably painful) question: how do I insert a picture? :')
I'm sorry, I've actually never used forums or the like so I haven't got a clue how to use these posting systems!

Oh no... it doesn't work? That's strange... I thought the system file modified the events in rpgmaker...

Can you upload the picture on imgur and post/send the link? I just want to make sure.
Also, just to clarify, you can still enter the door to go back to the house right? It's just the exit that's sending you next to the door?

It doesn't seem to no, and I made sure it replaced the system file like you said :(

And yes that's absolutely right, the exit sends me here

https://imgur.com/pj5zLYc

The exit from the house is what put me there, though I did also notice that this also occurred at the exit

https://imgur.com/RLw3wTf

This occurs on either side of the carpet, as the exit is only in the middle tile of the black space. But no matter which side I enter from it always sticks me right to the left of the door, which is so frustrating :')

I hope this helps! (And thank you so much for telling me how to do the screenshots lol)

Hmm, I did do a fix but I'm not sure how to give you the right files without giving you some uncompleted files. How about this. Can you send me your save file (should be under C drive\ Users\ Your username\ Saved Games\ Pokemon Sunset\ Sav file [ex. C:\Users\USER\Saved Games\Pokemon Sunset]) so I can get you out in the meanwhile I work on the next patch? You can upload the file on google drive and send me the share link~!

Hey dude! There are actually quite a few Pokemon that have lower BST totals than Magikarp - out of all the books in the library Ralts isn't the only one!

I say give it another go, but if you can't get it, tell me which books are in the library that you have to pick from and I'll give you the answers :D

Are these playable characters?

The first is the updated Player character but the rest are enemy artworks.

 

[Sora]

Since I am at a writer's block I decided to adjust some artworks.
These are the new sprites for Elizabeth and Spinel, what do you guys think?
