I haven't been able to work on the game for the past month or so since I've been really busy with school.
I finally have some time that I can work on it and am wondering if anyone has any suggestions for the game?
If you do post them here.
Link to the game's hub
If you want to see screenshots of the game, look at my previous posts. I haven't done much else since then.

Based on the screenshots, the presentation is good. Would probably be best to focus on adding more pokemon. Depending on how much you have, more areas are always a good thing, as long as there is something to do.

I want to be able to marry my pokemon.
Also I want to be able to be a pokemon, it'd be like a trainer, except you dont catch pokemon, you just fight them head on. | |

As far as that is concerned, make sure the game has gyms, so you can collect badges before ultimately being able to participate in the pokemon league, or something similar.
Though wether gymleaders should be players or npcs...Well, both sides have its advantages. | |

Yeah, NPCs have that advantage of always being around when you need them...A true friend..Lawl
Anyway, player gymleaders would probably only work if there would be multiple ones, like Cerulean City had Misty and her sisters all as gym leaders. But that would depend on a good player base, so starting out with NPCs is probably the best. | |

Adding verity and more options to your games only broadens the audience you can attract. I think it'd be neat to be able to play as a Pokemon and battle wild pokemon. | |

I'm probably not adding the ability for someone to play as a pokemon, since it's a turn based game.

Think about it, a trainer is simply an avatar to represent yourself in combat, who is already controlling the pokemon. I doubt it'd be much harder to simply give pokemon direct control over a battle. The only difference being, pokemon couldn't buy items, win badges or compete in tournaments without a human trainer. | |
You better finish this game, it actually looks presentable.

Besides that, you could add in some sort of temporary team up option for trainers and player pokemon. It happened all the time in the series where a trainer would temporary team up with a wild pokemon and then they'd go their separate ways. You are really closed minded not to even be able to consider that option, it'd be a interesting option for players and I doubt it'd be any harder to implement or anything. On a side note, in Pokemon Mystery Dungeon, pokemon could actually buy stuff like berries and accessories and stuff, so beating on trainers or other pokemon could most possibly yield money player pokemon could use later on in a poketown or some shit. | |
Considering Flame doesn't seem to have all the time in the world, not adding that option would save him time to work on getting the stuff done that should be done regardless.
I wouldn't call it close minded if it is a time saver. I do see your point, but it would be extra work and something that always could be added in lateron. | |
Ham Doctor's idea is stupid. Ignore him.

There two people, kids who are playing with BYOND and adults who want to do projects but don't have enough time. Which in that case, the projects almost never see the light of day. | |
