Vinny's Untitled Pokemon Game

This is just a small project I'm working on to keep me busy while I hunt down a spriter for Traumwelt.
Story
Ummm.... none yet...

Unique Strategy-Esque Battle System
This is pretty much what made me want to actually make this. Originally, I was just going to recreate the original battle system, but I couldn't find the G/S battle back-view sprites :[. So then I just though that it would be neat to make a new sort of battle system that requires a little more strategy. It has your basic Pok??mon mechanic such as 4 move limit, items, switching, and 1-on-1 battling. I technically only added two things: trun-based tactical block movement and ranged attacks. You move your Pok??mon about on a gridded battling field as if in Final Fantasy tactics (but only 1 block at a time) and can use attacjs depending on their range. Special attacks like Flame Thrower or Razor Leaf can be used from a distance, while physical moves like Slash or Karate Chop can only be used when the Pok??mon are directly next to each other. There are also moves like Flash and Growl that you can use anywhere on the field.
Pok??PC aka Pok??mon Portable Computer
A laptop that you can take with you on your adventures. It has a wireless connection, so when you can pick up a signal you can acess your stored Pok??mon and items, as well as browsing your friends blog and checking email. Signals can be found in all major cities and in some areas of the wild, but it's unlikely you'll find one in caves. Your Pok??PC must also have its battery recharged which can be done by some Electric-Type Pok??mon and at all Pok?? Centers.

I'm not really a fan of the Pokemon games (they all kinda blended into being the same game in my opinion), but this seems like a pretty good idea. I particularly like the new take on the battle engine. Something that would be good for balancing would be making long-ranged attackers be weaker to melee combat, and perhaps even having players' strategies monitored in-game to determine if a pokemon is more practiced with ranged or melee combat or is equally balanced (perhaps a new experience system?) (ie: A Charmander who would use Scratch more often than Ember would be more melee oriented than a Charmander who used Ember more orten, but one who used both equally often would be weaker in both melee and ranged, but would be decent at both, giving an upper hand if an enemy's strategy is to wipe out long-ranged opponents fast and easy with melee combat)

I don't like the graphics and it seems like it is a slight copy of MD but well... it looks ok.

Well, my main reason for using the "crappy" graphics style is that it's the only style I can easily sprite for. Otherwise I'd just continue spriting for Traumwelt :]

@MiNalien: That's actually a really good idea :] I will very likely implement something similar to that. Thanks :]:]

Wow... What are you making this in? The battle system really kills. That's what cancels a lot of Pokemon games.

Anyway, looking great man! Keep it up!

GM6.1 is pretty much the only thing I ever use. I would use C#, but I still haven't gotten the hang of programming with graphical APIs yet :[ It's uber-confusing in my opinion :/

That doesn't mean he has to make his game use 160x144. In fact, I think it would be better to continue using the resolution he is using.

did you, perhaps, get the idea of battle style from mystery dungeon? because, it is quite similar, apart from the fact that finding battles are still random... or are they?  ;)

No if you use GB style then you SHOULD use the GB resolution.

It's still 100% optional. I dont see the NEED you seem to see to use a GB resolution with GB graphics style :/

Back on topic, I have an idea for you: Multiple-pokemon battles. What I mean is, having multiple pokemon out in a skirmish-style battle against other players. Perhaps even do a "Stadium" sort of deal and allow players to battle their pokemon together online?

I think it's about time to drop this discussion about his graphics style. You aren't providing any reasons for what you're saying, and it's getting old. How he does the graphics style is his choice, and choosing a higher resolution than the Gameboy used is, in my opinion, the best choice for his game style. Not everybody is so fanatical about using the proper graphics styles as you see to be.

This looks great man! I don't really liek GB graphics, but it works for this. When it's finished you should put it on one of those flah paks(?) that let you put homemade games on GBA cartridges.
