View Full Version : More advanced PokéPlushies?

I've seen many PokéPlushies all over the Web, and they seem somewhat basic to me: whenever someone clicks on the link, their level goes up by one.

Therefore, I have decided to make something better: not only can you have Rare Candies to give the Pokémon, but also vitamins, berries, other items of the like.

However, the crucial thing is missing: I need a good name for this project. Any suggestions? And what items should be included?

Can I include the word zam?

If so:
Zamplush

If not:
A-Plus-Plush

Err... Maybe Project PlushEvolution?

Maybe you can add a hunger thing to the Pokemon, and if they don't get fed they turn into fossil Pokemon. Here's a list of items that might be good:

Reanimation Chamber (#ed use) - To revive those fossilized Pokemon

Food - Eliminates Hunger (different foods could be different values?)

Berries - Maybe berries could give the PokePlushies certain traits if given certain ones enough. Maybe like traits of finding more food, more rare candies, etc. Other ones fill your stomach.

You'd get a number of random items once a day

I don't exactly see how vitamins could be used... these things aren't exactly used for battling.

Well... The sprites are going to be the ones from the games, so not exactly "plushie". I was thinking something along the lines of PokéBattlers...

Vitamins upgrade stats, so they are very useful.

EDIT: I'm putting PokéBattlers for now, I can always change it later.

Hey! If you're going to do it like Hobbes said, then I can do fossils for ya.

I'll consider it, but for now I'll work on the main idea.

What about ZamPets?

I'm sticking with PokéBattlers, since it's more neutral.
I've added the page for registering, but not the link yet. You can access the page by replacing ?page=index with ?page=register in the address. Registering makes no difference at this stage, but you will be able to test and get started straight away.

No. You're sticking with PokeBattlers, so when you leave PokeZam, you can take them with you. It's a horrible idea now, for someone so darn selfish!

Wait, they're not plushies, then. I could've done the plushies. :P

But overall I think it's a good idea. Vitamins could play a key role.

Instead of just raising levels or eliminating hunger, maybe we could give the Pokemon stats and focus on building an ideal Pokemon that you could use in roleplays or something [just an option].

If you had a Torterra, for example, and it was the slowest thing on the face of the planet, then you could plop it in you signature and put a note next to it saying "I wanna be speedy! Raise my speed by clicking the Carbos icon!"

The above was my two cents. These are my own thoughts and opinions and I don't care if you bash them, though I would appreciate it if you didn't.

I think he wants like a Tamagotchi-like pet.

Just curious: Did you get this idea from PM? He was trying to do something like this, and stealing that idea is wrong.

Kaboom
06-19-2008, 03:00 PM
This is entirely my idea and my creation. If I didn't know you better, Akai, I'd say you were jealous of not being able to do this yourself.

Akai
06-19-2008, 03:55 PM
No. I was just stating fact. 9_9 Don't flatter yourself.

3speon
06-20-2008, 02:05 PM
Just curious

She was just wondering if PM influenced you. It was a simple question. :P

Kaboom
06-22-2008, 10:50 AM
Rejoice! You can display your PokéBattler! I've got mine in my sig!
People can give you one item a day each (and yes, you can give yourself items :p )
You can't use them yet, but that code's on the way.

Akai
06-22-2008, 11:10 AM
Where do you get them?

3speon
06-22-2008, 01:03 PM
I clicked on the 'Click here to give me an item' link and it took me to his webpage. I registered, but I can't get a PokeBattler. They can evolve, right? Or not?

Kaboom
06-22-2008, 02:18 PM
You... didn't get one? It's supposed to guide you... When you login, it should take you to get your first PokéBattler.

3speon
06-22-2008, 03:00 PM
I know. It took me there, but when I tried to get an Eevee and keep its name Eevee, it said something about the name having illegal characters. :P

Akai
06-22-2008, 04:38 PM
How would an Eevee work... evolution-wise?

EDIT: I just got a Cubone, and the picture link is broken. =(

Kaboom
06-23-2008, 10:23 AM
The only way the picture link could be broken is because I changed the way it worked slightly. Try pasting the code again, and it should work.

You can now give items to your PokéBattler, but don't just waste the lot! When I get a bit further in the programming, you can sell your items for Poké, which will then allow you to buy PokéBalls of various types, and other items which may have something to do with evolution... (particularly Eevee). You will also be able to go hunt wild Pokémon and capture them (only in this, you defeat the Pokémon, then make the capture attempt).

Sound good so far?
As for Eevee to Umbron and Espeon, as well as Glaceon and Leafeon, I'll be making new items which make them evolve.

Akai
06-23-2008, 11:19 AM
Can you only get one right now? Is this like the game where you can get more?

3speon
06-23-2008, 02:16 PM
Okay, one last question: Are they only male now? Or are there female, too?

I think this will turn out pretty nicely. I've copied the code for my Eevee and all I have to do now is put it in my sig! ^_^

Kaboom
06-23-2008, 03:03 PM
PM's got a female Zangoose. It's random, based on the chances of getting the gender in the console games.
As explained you will be able to capture morebut for now it's just the one.

3speon
06-23-2008, 03:32 PM
Aw. Except you can't save in front until you get the one you want... v_v Oh well. I'll try to get another one. Can you breed these, too, or not? It'd probably be hard to breed them, though.

Kaboom
06-23-2008, 03:36 PM
Well, I'll try to make a breeding facility, but that will be one of the later additions. I need to update the checklist, so take a quick look and tell me if there's anything I missed.

3speon
06-23-2008, 04:12 PM
I think you got everything on the checklist.

But I'm looking forward to the breeding! ^^

Kaboom
06-23-2008, 04:43 PM
Well, there'll be a bit of a wait, I'm afraid, but I will definitely do them.

Questions:

Can we get items? I don't want Cubone to evolve.

Is there a change to get a shiny, when the game starts?

Will the catching part start soon?

Will we get attacks?

Kaboom

Can we get items?
I'll be working on the shop today. Sell the items yuo are given to get money, then you can buy other items which will help you in battles or allow capturing.

I don't want Cubone to evolve.
Evolution takes place in a certain location (like in PMD), so it's your choice if he evolves or not.

Is there a change to get a shiny, when the game starts?
I was going to do shinies, but decided against it. If you really want them, I can put them in.

Will the catching part start soon?
As soon as I can, yes.

Will we get attacks?
The battling will be automated based on stats. I was going to do a full system with attacks and things, but it was too complicated and would take months to do.

I probably should have been a little more specific. I mean mainly hold items. Is there a chance we can find them in the game?

I don't want Cubone to evolve.
Evolution takes place in a certain location (like in PMD), so it's your choice if he evolves or not.

Good. It's not by level. That will help on Eevee.

Is there a change to get a shiny, when the game starts?

No. Shinies aren't neccessary. (IMO, they're a waste)

Will the catching part start soon?
As soon as I can, yes.

Good. Just keep us informed.

Will we get attacks?
The battling will be automated based on stats. I was going to do a full system with attacks and things, but it was too complicated and would take months to do.

I was wondering that.

This could get confusing. Say the Attack of a Pokemon is 27. Would the attack do 27 damage? Same with Sp. Attack. There's not going to be a full rank of attacks like the other games, just that one Attack and Sp Attack.

Kaboom
06-25-2008, 08:58 AM
I was wondering that, too, and I'm going to use the actual game's forumula for damage calculating:
Damage = ((((2 * Level / 5 + 2) * AttackStat * AttackPower / DefenseStat) / 50) + 2) * STAB * Weakness/Resistance * RandomNumber / 100

without the STAB and with AttackPower defaulting at 40. That ought to work. (Formula from Serebii.net)

And yes, I'll keep you informed. As for hold items, there'll be Berries and all that lark, so don't worry on that score!

Akai
06-25-2008, 12:39 PM
Ugh, math... Good luck with that.

BTW, I looked on Pokemon Adventure... Is that still on? I know I can add some attacks, if you want me to. Even if it's off, you can never go wrong with a complete attack/Pokemon list. Who knows, you can probably construct some kind of PokeDex for PokeZam. :D

Kaboom
06-25-2008, 02:16 PM
Well, I did have a secret plan to use the data from PkmnAdv to build a PokéDex, then I decided to have a PokéDex in-game... In any case, the Pokémon info for PokéBattlers was simply copied over.

Please do help if you have the time; it would be much appreciated.

Akai
06-25-2008, 03:38 PM
I can do attacks, no problem. I'll just find where PM left off and start up. I think he's doing them in ABC order...

Kaboom
06-25-2008, 03:39 PM
He was doing ABC order on all the physical attacks, and was planning to go on to special, then status.

Akai
06-25-2008, 03:49 PM
Ugh. Hard way. x_x

Anyway, just keep us updated. I really want to catch more Pokemon.
