  1. Honestly the games was much more fun with mods. Some eventually ended up being a feature in-game, while others are pretty much required. Plus who doesn't want more variety? My issue is how LONG it took them to even achieve an "actual" release...that isn't even doing half of what was originally promised.

    I guess I'll check it out again eventually.

    I always find grinding with a bunch of friends to be a lot more fun and less tedious.

    To be fair, nearly everything with friends can be fun.

  2. As before, I'm not part of the dev team but I do have the answer for that; the short version is that it was a huge inside joke from a very long time ago, and Ame is trying to cut down on those for the newer players / people not in this community, since the game's not just for a specific group of people anymore.

    Aww :(

    Honestly, its not like you need to know the inside joke to appreciate it as in-game flair/fun. I love seeing small touches like these in fangames.

  3. Absolutely agree with Nick Crash. Speed tier decides everything, adding a few points and bringing it over the 100 barrier is infinitely more useful than adding another 10 points to Attack or SpA. But I also think that increased speed doesn't really fit into OPs design, his M-Nidoking reminds me of Abomasnow's Mega.

    Honestly, if it were up to me at first, I'd would have gotten him over the 100 barrier with my first draft. But I went with a safer spread to prevent the initial discussion from focusing on that in the first place.

    In regards to the design, its actually slightly smaller than slimmer than Nido (the arms and spikes make him look bigger than he actually is), so someone could argue that it should be faster and stronger offensively than the standard Nido. But then that is also in part the result of me trying to fit the design into the BW standard sprite size. Besides, it is set in stone.

  4. All the best! I'd like to pitch in when I can, but that'll likely be only about a month later.

    It's alright, there should be more than enough for you to do then ^_^

    Unless I get even more support than expected.

    Unless Ame & co. changed their minds, some of the sprites for shiny megas and presumably their pre-evolutions will be altered. So I guess you can either wait til Episode 16 is finished before doing those sprites or just fix them once the Episode comes out.

    Yeah, I'm waiting for her answer on that. In any case, having to re-do some of them after having the rest done would be a piece of cake.

  5. Since Reborn lacks shiny icons sprites due to custom shinies, I would like to propose a community project of sorts to take care of that problem. If you want to help, all you need to do is:

    NOTE: Please try not to choose evolutionary lines with megas, at least until all others without megas are done. Some lines with megas might have their shinies changed in E16 and it would be wiser to prioritize those that won't.

    • Choose a pokemon and/or pokemon line and check if someone else is working on it. If no one is, post your pick on this thread. This way we don't get people working on the same icons. Also remember to verify if someone had already completed them on the Generation lists.
    • Open up the Icons folder, which should be inside the Graphics folder inside your Pokemon Reborn folder. Search for icon(your choice's pokedex number).png and open said image on your favorite image editor.
    • Open up the Battlers folder, which should be inside the Graphics folder inside your Pokemon Reborn folder. Search for (your choice's pokedex number)s.png and open said image on your favorite image editor.
    • Use the shiny sprite specific for Reborn as a reference/guide to replace the colors on the original icon. Use the colorpicker tool in your image editor to copy the colors from the custom shiny battlesprite and use them to replace those in the icon.
    • If you are confused on were each color should go, Open up the Battlers folder, which should be inside the Graphics folder inside your Pokemon Reborn folder. Search for (your choice's pokedex number).png and use said image to compare on which colors on the icon should the shiny colors replace.
    • If the shiny is more than a simple color replacement, do the small modifications required, if any. Sometimes it might happen that you'd need to lighten the shiny colors a bit to fit into the more subdued tone that the icons use. Sadly, that will be up to the eye of the beholder. Be careful!
    • Finish up your work, save it as icon(your choice's pokedex number)s.png and either edit your original post with your finished work here or send them to me. Remember to save it with transparency/alpha channel enabled.
    • Pick another pokemon icon, the shinification never ends!

    I'll be updating the list with individual links and once everything is done, with a download link for the whole project. This way it can be used as mod, while also making it easier for Ame to evaluate it/accept it.

    P.S. Sorry Lostelle, I stole the formatting from your Pokemon Location Guide. ^_^

  6. Yeah, I understand. Seriously I only want an excuse to use him as my mega, mostly because while some of other favorite mons have them, their official design doesn't really appeal to me (power notwithstanding). Otherwise, I'd have to wait for a Lanturn/Breloom mega.

  7. A complaint is something in the experience that you, or a small minority, did not enjoy.

    Somehow people are getting the wrong impression that wanting to discuss other possibilities besides the ones already implemented means I didn't enjoy them in the first place. As I have previously stated, the point of this thread is discussion better/more efficient ways of handling the HMs. I never expected any change to occur in the first place, mostly for story reasons as I've already mentioned. Even if we had a nearly-perfect game there is nothing wrong about wanting it to improve even further. After all, perfection is relative.

  8. Indeed, I agree with you, the +5 Atk +5 SpAtk, resulting in the slightly increased damage output that you detailed with that calculation, is the way to go IMO. Very cool creation overall, kudos ;)

    This comes from a guy who has loved Nidoking since Gen 1, and uses it regularly in every game in witch it is legally in the regional dex, so I might be SLIGHTLY biased here lol

    Yeah, I'm pretty much preferring that option atm. With Nidoking as one of my favorite mons, I've had to control my bias that asked for the most broken combination possible :P

  9. We really have no way of knowing what exactly happened unless both persons involved answered your doubts. But if you want to argue semantics, due to the context, collaboration is the most logical outcome. Let's see the facts:

    • Since Ame wasn't going to rip someone else's code, she'd need to ask for permission.
    • She wasn't implementing the code (or even part of the whole) as is, but instead she was going to modify it to fit her purposes.

    So not only she had to ask for permission, she'd also have to ask to Suze for explanations regarding pretty much anything, specific terms he used, variables, constants, naming, etc. Do you seriously think she never had any doubts nor asked anything besides permission? Explaining code is actually work per definition. Hell, some of the time its easier to code than explaining what it does and how it does it.

    Seriously, I don't understand why you can fathom Ame collaborating with anyone, Pokemon Reborn is proof that she has no problem doing it in the first place.

  10. This looks fantastic, i'd say it is even way better than some official mega evolution artworks. Curious, is it quadrupedal or bipedal, 'cause it looks like it is back on four limbs like its pre-evolved forms.

    According to the design's creator, its quadrupedal due to its increased power+looking fiercer.

  11. Tell me you're not talking about 'Rising Rainbow'. Outside of that, I have literally no idea what you're talking about TBH.

    I have no idea what do you mean by that. Neverless, check your Readme.txt file inside your Reborn folder for my source on the scripting collaboration. Plus there is also this post.

    I see where you are getting at, and its nice and all, but in case of Zeta and Omicron, which I played a little of, they used the mechanic only in a single Pokémon run which would be impossible due to the numbers of HMs that exist. I have yet to try other games you have listed with similar concepts. I'll give them a try, and see if my opinion alters.

    Could you please expand on why do you think it would be impossible? Zeta/Omicron used the mechanic on all game modes and covered all HMs. You did get the items from a special seller in Nuzlocke-mode, while you found them throughout the game world in a standard playthrough.

  12. To be honest, sprites weren't "intentionally sized up to show their pixels", it was just a case of using the original pokemon game resources without having to redo all of them again. Plus using 1x1 for the sprites would have made properly downsizing them impossible, and thus Essentials wouldn't have the option of playing in a GBA sized screen (the "Small" option). If anything, vectorizing all the sprites/gameart would be more useful from a resolution point of view, since it would then allow increasing/decreasing resolution without losing detail and/or garbling the image. But that would introduce the problem of requiring a complete set of sprites/art for each intended screen size (to properly keep the detail for each screen size) (and thus making the game size bigger).

    Even so, obviously remaking the sprites in 1x1 would aesthetically benefit most of us that play on Medium, Large or Full-Screen. Good luck with your project!
