Got an idea for your own Pokemon game? You'd better read this.

Don't list me as available to program. I got something about 10x more important to do then fan games right now. ;x
 
Suppose I should actually view this thread more often!

On a vaguely related note, can we get seperate subforums for games and cards? Call me what you will, but I'm fed up of my card thread being buried by "POKEMON ROCK PAPER SCISSORS - LOOKING FOR SPRITES ETCETCETC".

This way, ROCKPAPERSCISSORS and all the other games can have their own subforum, and all the card threads can have thier own subforum. End result: less clutter for both sides.

No. The reason for this is there's just no need to. Who cares if your thread gets pushed down a bit? It's not the end of the world. If there's work being done consistently on the project, I don't see why keeping it up top (or at least on the first page) should be an issue at all.

im not loving this, most of the stuff here is beacause the person has an idea and is putting together a team for such, if mods go around deleting EVERYTHIGN tht isnt sufficient enough than this foum is, dare i say, corrupt, no not corrupt, another word but along the lines of __ so i think you should reconsider this rule or atleast loosen it up. i mean seriously, not everybody can script sprite draw come up with ideas and put there where they need to be, its a team effort, look at EVERY game out there, you need to start somewhere and sorry were not Grade A genious in everything like you PMJ but ease up on other people, this is nothing but bullying, and it ISNT constructive critisism telling someone they cant do it because its lame.

There is a difference between locking a thread and outright deleting it. I realize that there's a possibility that not everyone saves drafts of their threads elsewhere in case something should happen to it, and I know if I were someone who spent a good amount of time crafting my thread only to have it deleted, I'd be pretty upset. So I'm locking them instead. That way, once the author gets his or her act together, I can just unlock their thread, they can make the appropriate changes, and life goes on.

As 6-Dimension pointed out, the idea is to only allow threads that prove the author is serious about making the game. Anyone can type up a paragraph or two on the story/new pokemon/new types/Gym Leaders/rival/whatever else. I honestly thought about doing it myself, just to prove a point, but that'd be silly.

This rule is really not that restricting, guys. Having some screenshots goes a long way in proving you're serious. If you need some help, take a look at other games. Send some of the workers a PM. Good luck getting them to help you when they already have a commitment, but hey, it doesn't hurt to ask.

This doesn't mean you're not allowed to ask for help. Maybe you thought it did. It's okay to ask for help. But it's the responsibility of the game creator (the one making the thread and posting the ideas) to prove that he's serious about his game, serious enough to post more than words.

No. The reason for this is there's just no need to. (1) Who cares if your thread gets pushed down a bit? It's not the end of the world. If there's work being done consistently on the project, (2) I don't see why keeping it up top (or at least on the first page) should be an issue at all.

1. I care. And so do the other card makers who replied to my suggestion with enthusiasm.

2. The sheer number of these fake games (how many do you think will ever become games, by the way? I bet less than 5.) with all their "contributors" pushes everything down so quickly. It's a MASSIVE competition to stay near the top, and it really shouldn't have to be, in my opinion. One more subforum on a site this size really wouldn't be the end of the world.

I'm willing to bet none. And if any of them do get completed, they'll have a few bad Fakemons in a world that feels eerily similar to the game they're hacking.
 
Not the place to discuss that...
 
This is going to help a lot. I hate random new games that spring out of nowhere and need to be babied before they take off. Thanks PMJ!
 
Um you see I have been trying to make a game and I need to make a thred for just working on it not just stuff you mentioned I cant really contact that gaming staff because i really need a ton of work on it ok. And also I cant do 2 pictures of game play. But I really want some help with it too to take requests from the other members but i cant seem to really understand the consept of the requirements. Sorry. Ya i want to create a game but i need a staff to help me.

So you're saying W.O.B. ISN'T finished, that's it?
 
Think Outside The Box isn't a fan game(even if it has fans =P), but that's off topic. Or is it? I mean the reason it is finished was because it wasn't too ambitious - it's not because I'm dedicated, that's for sure! (I am very lazy!) Basically, a Pokemon game is a very ambitious thing to try to make. It is a very big undertaking, fan-made or not. Why not aim a little lower? Try using Pokemon in a different context if you must use Pokemon at all. There's a series called Pokemon Hunter for RPG Maker - it's not that great, but it has it's audience - that has 3 games out, and 1 (apparently very fun) spin-off. Why? Because It's "not a Pokemon game, it's a game with Pokemon in it". Use the characters in a different scenario - there's more to Pokemon than battling isn't there? And if you think there isn't, make something more! (Or you know, make your own, original ideas...)
 
I see that this only goes for effect for those topics created after the rule was established. There are still a lot of topics that are active with no proof.
 
I think this guy on ROBLOX made Pokemon Violet Version{P}? I played it its to hard to get around cuz the Pokemon. way to many its like ur in a room with 600 Pokémon{C}{G}{W}{L}{F}{R}{P}{M}{D} in it! Oh yeah i like the dancing MAWILE{M}{D} THX for making it but howd it get those new moves?
 
Personally I think the rule should apply to all games made. Including the ones before this rule. Take a look at the junk on the last page. There is nearly nothing there!
 
Pokemon Mystery Dungeon Explorers of The Darkness World (Special Black and White Fetured Game!) (I drew a picture of it in School once.)

New Starters (Free):Tsutaja, Mijumaru, Minezumi, and Pokabu.

New Starters (Partner Only):Munna, Trapinch, Plusle, Minun, Bagon, and Luvdisc.

New Pokemon:Zoroark (obtain at Dark Rage Portal on second visit), Zorua (Client and Boss Battle with Zoroark, and others), Starters, and Others.

Hey! Idiot! I made ROCKPAPERSCISSORS IDIOT!!!!!!!
 
I can't see why mine is locked as I have read the rules. Many times. And if you read mine before you lock it, you would know that it was being made. Actually.
 
^Yes, but the rules state there has to proof of a game in progress, not text saying that you are programming on, without pictures/videos.

That wouldn't be fair to them though. The rule was made after their threads were.

dmaster out.
