Pokémon Scarlet - CANNED, a Pokémon platformer made in Game Maker

This game looks like it could turn out pretty cool!
Just a suggestion, you should use some of the custom Pokemon sprites on the Spriters Resource.

Dude. Read the thread.

Sorry boomb

Although they seem abit like boombs, these ones look nice in the game because they are less detailed, although I still might need to tweak them abit. Nice work! Could you do the tiles for the other terrain now?

Don't worry, boomb, you still get to be in the credits :P

Ok here are the tiles so far:

I didn't really edit it as much as just added extra tiles.

Thanks!
i think il start on the cave next.
Great job on the added tiles!

Thanks! They are mostly just edits of yours, though.

I started on a sprite for the PC

I'm actually quite happy with the outcome, but if anybody can touch it up and make it more Pokémon, then by all means, please do.

I still need day and night backgrounds for each area (Grassland, Volcano, Beach, ect) and some backgrounds for places unaffected by day/night (Caves, Indoors, ect).

Mine was too detailed? That was a good declining.

Well pokemon styled sprites just arent that detailed. It didn't look good with the sprites in the game.

Just a bump to tell you about some new game physics I added.

As you may know, defeating other Pokémon will give you exp, and getting exp will make you stronger. HOWEVER, there is no leveling up in this game. Exp simply determines when you will evolve (if you do). Evolving will, of course, make you stronger as it will increase your base stats and give you more attacks.

To make up for lack of leveling, I have decided to add EVs to the game. Defeating certain PKM will give you certain EVs that increase your PKMs stats. You can have a max of 255 EVs in each stat, with a total maximum of 1020 EVs.

Things to note:
-You cannot gain EVs in HP or in Speed; only in Attack, Defense, Special Attack, and Special Defense.
-Certain PKM don't give any EVs, and others give more than one in the same or multiple stats.
-Each EV increases a stat by 0.25 points, so 4 EVs increase a stat by 1 point.
-The maximum increase you can have in any stat from EVs is 63.75 points.

Interesting idea.EV seems to act like experience points or something.

bump because I still need backgrounds for day and night.

...I still need them....

bump again.

i cant post a demo until I get those backgrounds.

Just a question, are you going to use stats in this game?

Do you think you will use any custom pokemon?

You know, like my dolphina sprites.

Oh, sorry!
I don't think I can make any backgrounds for you, but I'll see if I can find any that would go well with your tiles.

Could you please post some ACTUAL screens?

Yes, there are stats.

Oh, nice then.

Once I get some day and night backgrounds for the grasslands area I will post some screen shots and a new demo.

WHat do you want them to look like, because I could help.

Any certain style or anything?
