Overview

We have recreated Pokémon in processing. Our main focus was on creating a movable player, map/setting with obstacles, NPCs, and Pokémon battles. After we completed the fundamental parts of the game, we continued implementing more features, such as a menu button, an item bag, and a shop where users can buy more items. We also created wild Pokemon and the ability to catch Pokemon with Pokeball items. The Pokemon button within Menu was created so that the user can check their current Pokemon. Our demo game features mechanics such as:

• Walking around a 2D Map
• Interacting with an NPC
• Pokémon battles against an NPC
• Pokémon battles against wild Pokémon (including ability to fight and catch them, as well as to run away)
• A Menu, which contain's the player's item bag and a display of the player's current Pokemon.
• A shop to purchase more items
• Potions to heal your pokemon.

We created a Game Manager, GameStates (default, battle, menu), UI system, player and NPC classes, and Pokémon. Many of our classes inherit from a "Monobehaviour" class which gives our child classes access to processing functions. We also have parent classes such as "UI" for UI objects (dialogue boxes, buttons, healthbars).
