Regional Spawn

[Jordanlol]

If the other regions are implemented in a more multiplayer/"MMO" version, why not, upon character creation, allow the choice of a starter region (kanto, johto, etc.) and play through that story. Upon completion, I.E. beating the champ after the elite four, choose the next region/story to start, gaining another starter and an entirely different set of pokemon to catch.

Obviously this begs the question, "what about my previous party?", well my only suggestions are to keep them as they are and start the next region/story with higher level'd npc's, or, have a global PC inventory that separates the regions until a certain point in each region where the Bill's have the teleporter or the time machine... and as for a multiplayer/"MMO" aspect of the PC inventory, you could have a separate party specifically for the multiplayer that you can choose from you entire global PC inventory.

(Sometimes I think too much.)

I think you are thinking too much.

The game is in a far too early state to make big decisions like this first and while it may be a good idea, I think nilllzz needs to focus on getting the base gameplay downpacked and then the current storyline.

I absolutely agree, I was just throwing out a suggestion I came up with in literally 2 minutes... I'm also wondering if I can led nilllzz my services in any way, but I'm not sure how to contact him as I've just discovered this in the last hour.

nilllzz on Twitter might be one way

this would be something real nice to see... even include regions such as orange league. Though for starting in other regions it would need a system to scale the levels of gym leaders and trainers for people who are hitting a different region either early or late in the game. Starter Pokemon could be implemented in other ways as well to allow for players to get them without trading for example.... having to trade them is honestly a pain for some players because you hafta find players who dont intend to keep them such as myself but there are not likely to be many players like me in that sense. Of course bein starter pokemon itd hafta be very difficult to accomplish.... or work similar to how it did in yellow version.

Now to make such a thing possible would take alot of mapping work so there would need to be more people helping with mapping and coding to get this going....

I have been thinking about this idea a bit
In the "Lego" games each level has a story mode and a free play mode
In the story mode you can only use certain characters and only unlock small parts of the game
maybe a similar system could be made for this game
Each region would have to be played through once from the beginning before being able to use the Pokemon caught previously

people will be free to create whatever regions they want and they could mod out the whole gold/silver story out of johto if they really wanted to make it free roaming.our focus is on recreating the gen 2 games

mkay now when a player makes new content is it possible for that content if done well to be implemented into the game later? Like say i got bored and made orange islands could that be added after the base game is complete?

no plans but i cant really rule it out. our plans are to let people just go nuts with mods as much as they want so we can make the base game the way we want it.

which is awsome... i enjoy mods in a game.... but at the same time it would be nice to say join my friends in orange islands without requiring a mod....

i see a ton of potential in this game and would love to see it get expanded on in the future

it'd be cool and all but a mod can change all sorts of things, so like different generation games they won't be easy to mix

there's a mod that changes charizard to a fire/dragon, for example

 

[KallenSkye]

ok but im talking about stuff that adds additional content. Such as a new region.... nothing game changing wise.

i had an idea of letting mods be allowed to play with p3d but if they do a bunch of modding features will get disabled like pokemon species data editing and so on. we may also have a way to copy a p3d character to the mod's saves, converting it over. similar to how you could time capsule/pal park etc up a generation in the gameboy games. but the way the game works now even if i make saves go in different places you can just copy your character's save over, lol. they're just text files and i'm not putting in anything to prevent that... yet

when the games not indev we will probably protect saves but like i said, we can facilitate people wanting to bring their party and character into a mod.

however, mods are mostly going to be new games so it is intended you start at the start, lol. you and your friends can play it together, they just all have to get the mod

dont worry, im going to make this stuff really really simple to use and nilllzz can build a lot of the options for it into the launcher at a later time. you're going to like it in practice this is going to let people install every mod they want and none of them will conflict

mods will just be folders of files you drop into a folder, like wow ui mods etc. easy

ok i hope so cause now i am so confused lol @.@ i was just askin if new regions could ever be added such as orange island if a player did all the groundwork for the devs......

if nilllzz liked it, i'm sure he'd be thrilled to put it in the game. however, no matter what we do with pokemon 3d itself, we are going to let people make whatever places they want, and people can play them. if a player makes the orange isles they can do whatever they want with it regardless of if we put it in the game or not. sorry for so much needless detail i get a bit carried away sometimes. basically my point is user content is being supported in various ways
