Pokemon Topaze (Axe)

[Hayleia]

Hayleia, small thing that I ran into, when i caught a pokemon it asked me to garbage collect, i did, then quit and when i went back into the game, i was back at the last save, but all the pokemon that i caught from that save point were in the box

Yes, that is due to the way I handle Pokemon catching, they go directly into the savegame (to save space in L1) but the game is not saved -.-°
I should change that.

noticed that in the english version Rock Throw is "Bruno" type, something left untranslated perhaps?

Well there is some kind of a compression with types
Rock and Ground are Rock-Ground
But "Bruno" type ?

Dein Fortschritt wurde gespeichert -> Fortschritt gespeichert!
hat ein neues Level erreicht ! -> Level up!
Du hast den Kampf gewonnen. -> Sieg!
Gefangen ! Das Pokemon wurde ( an die Box gesendet.) -> Gefangen! Das Pokemon ist nun in der Box.
Du hast den Kampf verloren. -> Niederlage!
You musst 400 Muenzen hergeben. -> 400 Muenzen verloren.
entwickelt sich doch nicht !?! -> don't know

Well, i didn't play the german version, but i tried to shorten those

Thanks

Isn't one of the gym leaders named Bruno?

Ah, yes, but I play in French and I wasn't the one who translated into English so I didn't know that (it is Aldo in French)
So if it is Bruno type, there is a problem. Or you have an unarchived/missing appvar, or I have problems with data

[turiqwalrus]

well, I would guess data, because I just noticed that as well

Btw, would you (plural) prefer the game
-to save your progress when catching a Pokemon
-or to be more realistic and quitting without saving makes you lose all your catches ?

Ok (lol, Bruno type )
I'll look for the problem.

When it displays the type of the move you have selected (ex. vine whip= grass) rock throw=bruno

Thats what I meant

I vote the second one.

Also someone asked to borrow my calculator while I was playing this, took me almost a full minute to realize that what was in my hands was not a gameboy 

Edit: Also are you supposed to be able to walk on water?

[Art_of_camelot]

I'd prefer the second option for saving.

[FinaleTI]

I'd prefer the second option for saving.

Same here.

I just recently put this on my calc, and I instantly loved it! It's one of my favorite calc games, and it's definitely a game that will stay on my calc for a long time.

Why not the easy option ?

Yes, I got it. But "Bruno" really is a word in the data, and not far from the types. It means that I put a higher number in RockThrow's type than it should be (not sure about the grammar here)

Edit: Also are you supposed to be able to walk on water?

Erm yes
In fact at first, I wanted to code the ability to swim so I didn't put the water tile with the walls. But then, I didn't have any city that needs to swim, so the water remained like it was

Lol, thanks

Great Job Hayleia,
Your game is just awesome. As you may know, I made a port of Pokemon for TI-89.
This calculator has so much memory, that it was almost "easy" for me to program it. But once I tried to make a Pokemon for TI-83+ (like you in monochrome and 8x8 tiles), and I failed, because it was too challenging with so little memory... (I wanted to make it in TI-Basic, and Axe is definitely the best language for that game...). You made it, and I wanted to say you "Bravo !" because I know how it is hard.

Your game is very well programmed, with very beautiful sprites, and interesting ideas (the numbers on the floor that represents the badges needed impressed me). If you want any help, just ask me because I would like to see this project finished.

Bravo, tu as réussi là où j'ai échoué.

Lol thanks
Yeah, I saw your Pokemon port for 89. I also had this problem with the 83+ as I first coded it in Basic (this is why my code is very unoptimized sometimes (it is not optimized either elsewhere (not sure about the grammar of that sentence))). Then I tried in asm and spend 2 weeks making a tilemapper with 2 tiles , and I discovered Axe not so long ago, with archived appvars to save RAM

And in fact, this project is kind of finished. I mean that it has some problems (see readme) and some things are missing, but everything you need is there

Also, don't expect an update for a long time; all I can do from now on is:
-optimize
-rewrite shop to make it support more objects
-find why we are not redirected to the last PokeCenter after losing
So, I need a lot of spare time

[turiqwalrus]

does the elixir work now? I haven't updated yet because my cable's missing

also, an item suggestion: more effective potions
at the moment, potions are useless later in the game, because enemies can generally deal more damage than the potion can recover

This is exactly why I need time to rewrite the shop engine (lol, I said "shop engine" ), because we need more effective potions, and some other things like superball and all.
And as I know I'll some day rewrite it, I didn't make the elixir work

[DJ Omnimaga]

I haven't tried this, but this looks very nice.

How much is left to finish approximately?

[turiqwalrus]

Mostly items, but a few other small things(some buildings aren't finished, and there's no dialogue or anything yet)

superballs would be great... I once wasted 20+ pokeballs trying to catch an onix
