This is a cheap Pokemon knockoff, made because as a child I had many frustrations with the original game. For example:

• Why can I only have 4 moves for each Pokemon
• Why does every action get preceded by a very slow moving text (fixed later by emulators)
• Why can I only carry 6 Pokemon (probably because the Gameboy had to little ram)
• Chris told me this is because they want you to succeed with only 6.
• The battles are kind of repetitive, I think I already made them more fun
• To much is decided on level alone, (I might have made it worse)

TODO

First I will try to emulate the original Pokemon game. I'll create a working (stable) prototype as soon as possible.

• Catch Pokemon
• Make the overworld work
  • Go into buildings
  • different areas which would contain
    • diferent wild pokemon for each area
    • reduce script sizes (the original pokemon had hunderds of trainers, imagine, it would be quite a bit less annoying to maintain this with trainers for each area (and more stable)
  • add a pokecenter
  • add a mall
  • add gyms
• add a story line
  • quest support
  • A horrible story line
  • probably a bunch of side quests

DONE

• see Pokemon in the menu with all their glory (600*600 pixels)
• animation for NPC's trough scripting.
• path finding was a real bitch
• declaring Pokemon and their moves
• own Pokemon receives xp after batle
• own Pokemon levels up
• talk to NPC's
• Replace fuzzy logic with RNG, this makes it easier to add moves, besides the AI, in the orignial pokemon was also retarded
• Replace python with groovy (better integration, while the scripting is very similiar)
• Implement a proper MVC pattern, these kind of games are made for that, besides the current 'entities (which are models I supose)' can now draw anything they want
• add trainers and NPC's trough scripting
• add items to the over world trough scripting
