a cross between RPG Maker 2003 and VX or VX Ace. I can already tell that the program basis is that of a RPG Maker. This is actually the first Pokemon game that is completely original in its own deal.

Having played this game for well over 5 hours on the first go. I also never understood why they needed to combine it with a badge, but thats just GameFreak.^^ Edited Januby Helios2 Still Fly never had any meaning in the Pokemon story anyway in OR/AS it is completly obsolent even, thanks to the Eon Flute. Yeah Route 1 is the most tedious thing atm, well you can live without it, it just makes live easier you could say (also I didnt solved the upper part of the crustle puzzle at first which is atm a 50/50 chance dependend on if you go the right way at the start or if you like to explore everything before continuing). I understand navigation back to Reborn City is tedious, but that's one of the reasons the northern Crustle puzzle exists on Route 2, the bridge repairs can be made south of Calcenon, and why Amethyst is planning to be making Route 1 easier to navigate after clearing all the obstacles if I recall correctly. Clone Events v1.0 by Shaz was a game changer.Well first you'd have to give Fly within the story wouldn't you? Also meaning you'd have to have the badge to be able to use it, which also wouldn't make sense to change retroactively later on would it? It just makes the most sense to do it this way plot wise. By better utilizing Ruby, Rissa's systems solves almost all these problems. I couldn't just change the attack power of green slime game-wide, because I'd have to go into every map green slime appeared, and change the brain events to the new stats for green slime. As long as I replaced Enemy 1 from map A, with Enemy 1 from map B, I wouldn't have to go in and and swap all the associated variables like Enemy 1 Hp becomes Enemy 2 Hp, and so on. If I was lazy, I would copy an enemy from an earlier map, and paste it into my new map.

Click on the event, change the character graphic, reprogram its movement and speed, update the brain so it has the right hp and ap. If I wanted to change an enemy on a map, a lot of times I had to reprogram them from scratch. This meant I would often have to reprogram the 'brain' event on every map, and make sure each enemy has the right HP and attack power for the enemy type. Once the all the systems were built, I could copy and paste my master map.
