Well we will all get together and make a storyline of our own here, since I haven't heard from Coolest Eevee yet. Then if he does in fact have it done, we can combine the good ideas from both and make a great storyline. I don't know how to start these, since I am new to game-making (yes I am)

Well, let's start with the story threads we currently have.
-Team Togepi is one one region, and they're attempting to kidnap all the Togepi family Pokémon they can find
-There's five legendary cats, each with their own little temple
-There's a giant white legendary called Albinos that lies in its own special temple...it appears to have a link with the Greek letter Unowns
-A Jade Rabbit is known to exist as the Mew, Celebi, or Jirachi type of the game

No we don't... We have 7 that is more than enough.
-Team Apollo wants Albinos for some reason.
-Misty helps you to defeat Team Togepi...
-You save her when she is kidnapped.

Yes but 5 of them are the Legendary Dogs and we have no counter on Albinos.

We have enough... Yours doesn't look legendary like anyway.

Plus, we can't have every damn Pokemon you suggest be a Legendary, Kenta, even with the few you've presented.

Yeah, I don't know how I've managed to make my storyline work, but I have ^_^;; In this case the best way to do it, I think, is to have the most talented writer write up the basic storyline and than have the others go through and edit it up a bit.
This makes it so that it doesn't end up a hodge podge of different styles that clash with each other, which would most-likely happen if everyone wrote it together all at once. Plus it sets down what NEEDS to happen if the main storywriter does it and it is touched up and dded to by others.
As well I'd separate each regions storyline in different word documents (which is what I do). It makes it much easier to read through and keeps it nicer when each region has their own document for their storyline.

Sounds like a great idea, DeathChili. Now who is a creative writer around here... any volunteers? I just don't have the time to do a storyline.

Err, I'd be willing to take it on. I have quite a bit of free time.  Sahdolf, can you give me some general hints of a story layout in a PM? |

Oh this is perfect. I was thinking of you as the one Ket Shi. You seemed like the story-creative kind of person to me. We can discuss this further via PM. I am pretty blank on story ideas too though.

Well if you want the truth Kenta, that Purple dinosaur thing doesn't seem like a legendary to me. If it was I would see it as a joke honestly. Plus, the fact that it is a "purple dinosaur" reminds me of Barney, which is even more asinine in my opinion

One of the BEST things to do, Ket Shi, is to keep a running list of all the events and the possible outcomes. I didn't do this in the beginning but I am starting one now so I have to go over my Kanto story again and than over my Johto story as well. This is how I organize mine:
OAK’S LAB:
GET STARTER:
The hero chooses their starter Pokemon.
-Bulbasaur
-Chikorita
-Treecko
-Charmander
-Cyndaquil
-Torchic
-Squirtle
-Totodile
-Mudkip
GETIDCARD:
The hero gets their Trainer Card.
VIRIDIAN CITY:
OAKPHONE:
PROF. OAK phones the hero to see how they are progressing and checks to see if they’ve caught more Pokemon.
-YES && not lying: OAKRESPECT+2
-YES && lying: OAKRESPECT-3
-NO && not lying: OAKRESPECT-2
-NO && lying: OAKRESPECT-3
The hypens show each possible outcome, as that makes keeping track of events a BILLION times easier than wading through the story and an event.

Sounds like a good format. Now, my problem is...
How does this game work "online"? Will there actually be other players running around in "your" world, or can you only meet with them through secret bases, battling, trading, and the like?

I think we will see ppl walking around, but then all of us will have the same mum and the same home...

Well, that presents a multitude of questions. Just what would we do with legendaries? Team Apollo/Togepi's roles would be have be much more different than the Rocket's. Plus, I can't think of a way to successfully integrate the current Pokémon story format into the online world...

Post by Shadolf on Jan 16, 2004 4:56:42 GMT
I am wondering that myself....
how will everyone catch all the Pokemon?
How will Team Togepi and Apollo be battled when many people are playing?
list goes on and on, I'm just too tired to do anything

from what I've experienced, things that relate to the in game quests can't be seen by everyone, only the ppl that is suppose to meet them...um...for example, a team apollo grunt walks up a person, other ppl who either have done the quest already or who has not yet completed all task requirements can't see the grunt.

Well that's really up to the person scripting it. The person can choose to script the NPC client-side or they can choose to script it server-side. Client-side makes it so that the NPC only performs the action on the client's side while server-side makes the NPC perform it for everyone. |
