Pokemon Purple

[Delnar_Ersike]

leofox, those maps are awesome! I especially like the one on the right, since the trail is clearly distinguished.

[justusdude]

I like the second one.

[frenchcalc1]

I prefer the second one, since the trail is more distinguishable. I like the new pokemon...Mewtank? Does it have three feet of insulation from incoming short range missiles, too?

[baorder54]

I definitely choose the first pic(left) and that is because it is more realistic to the pokemon gold and silver I play. The trails are NOT distinguished in the games(the ones I have played). It is closer to the original.

I see them okay. But the second pic is more defined and sharper than having the routes blend in with every other blank space on the map.

I can't really say which one I like better. The second one has clear trails, but in the game, like baorder says, the trails aren't really outlined.

Mewtank... Hmm...
Well, first off, it has an odd name
And the attacks it learns without HMs/TMs kind of... suck.
But it's up to tifreak: Whether he wants to add yet another pokemon, or not.

I really like the right map of leofox, bordering the lines makes them easy to recognise, and you need that with a b/w screen.

as for mewtank, the name reminds me of miltank. the name is weard, but the sprite looks good. but why is his type normal.

I agree with Xphoenix, the attacks he learns with level aren't that good, I think rest is the best of them.

as for tm/hm, he has a LOT of attacking moves for a defending pokemon. attacks like Take Down, Blizzard, Hyper Beam, Dragon Rage, Thunder, Earthquake, psychic and Rock Slide aren't suited for a defending pokemon. attacks like harden and confuse ray are better IMO.

overall, I don't think he does justise for mew and mewtwo, as he is kinda a rippof from mewtwo (just with better defense than attack).

I also don't think tifreak8x should include more pokemon, 151 is more than enough for a basic calc game, and if he is going to include more pokemon, than I don't think it should be fake/fan pokemon.


if tifreak8x is going to include more pokemon, than I vote for lugia since he has ties with articuno, zapdos and moltres, which are already in the game.

[tifreak8x]

Well, I have 165 different attacks written to paper, and given a value and a value that links it to a type of attack, like normal, electric, etc.

Now to just type it in the calc...

[luby]

I agree. I don't like the idea of adding in new pokemon (copyright??) It might make the game seem like a parody, when tifreak8x is trying to make a dead on replica.

[tifreak8x]

Well, I will try to set up a poll for this a lil bit later...

Anywho, some progress, all 165 attack names are now stored on the calc. This will allow me to move forward with a few of the other aspects of the building process

[nitacku]

Wow, that's a ton of info.
How are you storing the data?

A new compression algorithm right? One that puts WinRAR to shame

[tifreak8x]

lol, I wish. :P

The names are being stored in a string, pretty much it... :/

[Harrierfalcon]

Would storing it to a gigantic list (1 attack per element, compressed) help, or would that hurt?

[Xphoenix]

That would be a big list...

So do you have each moves' type as well?

[tifreak8x]

Well, each pokemon list (LP1-LP6) has a spot for the cooresponding value to the name of each attack. They also have spots in there for the accuracy and attack strength of each attack, plus PP amount and max, plus element type.
