Pokemon Style Flash Game

[darc10222]

Recently I was playing the new Pokemon Mystery Dungeon on GBA and thought how cool it would be to have a pokemon style game in Flash. No I dont mean a pokemon game. I just mean a game with the same style. Birds eye view, sidescrolling, pixel. You know what I mean. Of course I havent used Flash in ages and am a bit rusty on ActionScript. Well I never really had enough skill to do this anyway. Anyone have a tutorial/script/help?
Thanks in advance,

Tonypa's (http://www.tonypa.pri.ee/tbw/index.html) tile based tutorial would be a good start. Apart from that, those kinds of games are just artwork and script. Building a pokemon game would be easy. Drawing 500+ sprites, WAY too many tiles, and writing a complete script for several hundred characters requires a solo designer with a year to spare and a deathwish.

if your intersted in using the sprites and tiles from the old games, I'm sure someone has them.

I wrote a small engine for this game a while back when i was bored.

>>Arrow Keys

Some of the code can be impoved apon, but it basically shows you how it can be made. If your using flash 8 then your going to want to use the Bitmap Class, because Tonypa's methods are getting a tad out of date sense they were first created.

As I was saying I dont want to create a pokemon game. Just a game with the same style.

The same holds true for every rpg game. You still need thousands of tiles and (depending on the dpeth of the game) tons of sprites / lots of script. It would be much easier for you to use sprites and tiles from another game, because that'll save you that much time at least.

Role-Playing Games are the heardest to make in my opinion, the first game i tried to make... a pokemon game. God that was a shame.

Tucker Connelly has a SWEET adaption to Tonypa's RPG tutorial. He makes things much more clear and will be posting video tutorials in the near future, if you want to take a look, just go to http://www.ironcoding.com/2011/02/flash-as3-tile-based-game-tutorial-pt-1-intro/

Thanks, I am currently working on a Pokemon Game myself, its a legit copy of Pokemon Gold/Silver but made with Pokemon Fire Red/Leaf Green sprites :D it is coming along nicely, but I am having troubles with things such as Doors, and know what tiles my character is on, and also have a text box that reads messages, essentually im just trying to re-create pokemon :)

Pokemon Mystery Dungeon falls into the 'roguelike' category, I believe (maybe roguelite lol). RogueBasin has many good articles about algorithms/techniques to use when developing these types of games (roguebasin.roguelikedevelopment.org) -- random map generation, AI, line of sight techniques, etc.

PS. if you're interested in the Pokemon Mystery Dungeon games, then you may like "Mystery Dungeon - Shiren the Wanderer" on the DS. It's from the same people, and shares similar genre conventions. It's also tough as nails and will keep occupied for months. One of my personal favorites :)

You can have up to 4 pokemon with you in a dungeon (including yourslef) depending on their sizes. Each pokemon has a size. most of them are size 1, and some slightly bigger ones are size 2. Most legendaries and large pokemon are size 4, and the maximum combined size you can have for your whole team is 6. Therefore, here are all the possible size combinations for a team that has a size of six (you can have a smaller size than all of these teams, too): 4 size 1 pokemon, 3 size 1 pokemon and 1 size 2 pokemon, 2 size 1 pokemon and 2 size 2 pokemon, 3 size 2 pokemon, 1 size 4 pokemon and 2 size 1 pokemon, and 1 size 4 pokemon and 1 size 2 pokemon. I have no idea why there are no size 3 pokemon. maybe it's because they don't want you to be able to have 2 big legendaries with you at the same time. This is the same for both mystery dungeon 1 and mystery dungeon 2 games. Hope this helps!
