Developing a Pokémon fangame built almost entirely from submissions, replacing the original types, Pokémon, abilities, and moves.
Yeah, sorry about the delay. Work-life balance was thrown off by the new job.

As a sign of goodwill, mons submitted this thread will be added, regardless if we hit the unique line cap we voted on. If you're concerned about not being able to get a whole line in before the thread closes, submit a single mon from the evo line (existing lines will remain open for future threads).

Main Doc: https://scrawny-crustacean-f0d.notion.site/Fangame-of-Dubious-Quality-1b5b9ecf5b6e80d5889dda00b4bf40e7

Currently open for submissions for:
- Type chart effectiveness changes
- Moves
- Abilities
- Items
- Backsprites for mons without (See docs)
- Menu Sprites (128x64)
- Pokémon
- Gym Leader/Elite Four/Misc Important Trainer teams and sprites
- TMs

i think there should be a gun type birdmon that gets a speed boost reskin called Bane of Zblock as its hidden ability
would be quite strong so maybe it could be locked behind a significant challenge

on an possibly very vaguely related note, it's possible to have a RPG maker XP game open up a flash .swf file for whatever purposes
a practical use could be if anyone feels like fodick could use some sidequest where you have to complete some flash game to get access to something (would probably have it run a script in the rmxp game that checks a save for the flash game
just a wacky idea I've had

Ah right, the Cheesipuff/Chocowheel line as well as Gemmablaster is in need of level-up movesets.

can we get a desert bus section where you have to sit through an 8 hour bus ride across the obligatory desert area
this is based on real time btw

up

have any of the custom box background images been added yet

actually a better question: is there a playable build yet?

>>58009470 (OP)
Oh neat, might start working on my volvomander evos again when I have the time

>>58009979
The relative inactivity in this thread compared with the previous mostly confirms some anons has left. Maybe new anons could end up here or return with time, but it seems thread bumps will be necesary for a while.

>>58013459
For me, it's because we don't have a big current goal now that the dex is just about filled. The people need something to focus on. Characters? Plot? What needs to be done?

>>58011471
he kinda thicc tho

>>58013459
A lot of the older posters probably don't even know that the thread's back. They may come back when they see it if they still have any faith in the project.

>>58013848

>>58013718
We have pretty much fuck-all decided about the region itself
Someone made a map of the region's geography but aside from that, nothing confirmed

>>58014374
Repost the map, because I don't remember seeing it.

>>58013990
In what and why?

>>58014541

>>58015147
Awesome. We should figure out what the towns and cities are like, at the very least

>>58015212
we should just copy some random IRL village with a sufficiently stupid name and put it in fodick, down to the layout and such

idea for the professor/rival since that's an idea floating around in the main document
remember DICKS Oak? his nephew, Richard Koch (often just called Dick), got hired as the region's professor (by merit of being the only person who volunteered to be one as the fodick region's league started to open) approximately 3 minutes before the intro cutscene starts
as for mons he uses, since he's actually trying to obey rule 5 by catching as many new mons as possible, his teams will be composed of whatever starter is stronger against yours and up to 5 mons that a player could reasonably acquire around whatever point in the game you fight him, all acting as a coherent team (accounting for starter)
in other words, a rival meant to actually be equal in strength to the player

>>58015666
>got satan trips

up

What's the current type count?

Can we make a discord so that we can get updates and not be left in the dark again?

>>58016641
The problem with having a discord is that it will likely drain attention away from the thread, and eventually devolve into circlejerking

>>58016650
bold of you to assume /vp/issers can't find a way to circlejerk even without a dicksword

>>58016677
Oh yeah watch this *walk in circles around you while jerking off*

>>58016638
check the OP

>>58016650
This is 2018 thinking. Now it's necessary to avoid raiders and bots shitting up your project, get people involved from other boards and sites, and to carry on momentum when the thread inevitably dies(not because of discord, because the number of genuine contributors left here is low)

>>58015147
Do we have any idea of where shoulbe be located the starting and the league?
What type should be the starting gym?

Looking at the type usage, a Sport/Spicy type Pokemon would be good.

Maybe instead of a discord, OP could make a Twitter just to post updates.

Also what did we think of the name Pokemon Asbestos?

>>58017318
yeah this does bring up a lot of good points
also instant communication between contributors and some built in file sharing can help
>>58018250
no one here frequently checks twitter in 2025

guy who's sprited for an essentials project here
essentials uses 2x pixel size for its sprite files
this is to ensure compatibility with different frame size options that are multiples of 0.5x (0.5x, 1x, 1.5x, 2x, 2.5x, 3x, etc) which includes the default small 0.5x/1px, medium 1x/2px, and large 2x/4px options all essentials versions has (and some versions have an inbetween size that's 1.5x sprite scale or 3px per depicted pixel)

your sprites are half the intended size. you can fix that by resizing them 2x with nearest neighbor as the resampling setting

>>58018959
Very cool, Basebould's backsprite seems to be broken however

The Lapras will look sad doing so.

>>58025775
now all we need to do is wait approximately 18 years for fodq to get a 3d open world installment after it becomes a series
so we can have the barely different shiny drive shiny hunters insane as they can't tell if it's shiny or not

sending out an sos

Idea: Vanilla type gym leader who's a stock photo of a man.

Idea: The dance type gym leader should get a fodqian Arcanine with dragon dance in its moveset

voidchat's closed due to AIDS
thus we need to have a water type gym that's closed due to AIDS (with a well dressed african american fellow with an afro informing you that the gym is currently closed)

Alternatively we could make the biotic type's gym just the entire bobbaing Habbo Hotel
complete with a stingray mon as the leader's ace

Idea: I should be the champion. My ace will be CHARIZARD from KANTO.

>>58027769
Working on sprites for this

The gun-type trainer should be a stereotypical blue-hair-and-pronouns zoomer who hates the fact that gun-types are the Pokemon they seem to do the best with.

>>58029143

>>58034253
we're just putting re-typed Charizard in, along with any other vanillamons you want to submit retyped and given abilites for the evil team. There's a section on the doc that I added for it.

>>58018252
No one seemed particularly enthusiastic about the idea. I could poal it.

I say we mix both and go with Pokémon: Asbestos of Dubious Quality

In practice it's 880 since its ability turns its otherwise pathetic 20 attack into 225

>>58038258

In my head i was thinking "Oh after a certain point speed becomes sorta pointless because it just affects turn order, so this is pretty much gonna work like a mon with 200 atk and priority but you could fuck it over by lowering its speed or having an ability or something that negates its ability"

>>58038304
>but you could fuck it over by lowering its speed or having an ability or something that negates its ability
not gonna fucking matter when it'll 1: likely outspeed anyways even after webs, and 2: 200 attack will not give all but the bulkiest mons more than one turn at most to setup
and none of your alleged "uhm it's actually balanced because these things exist" counters are actually in the fodq dex


Also you need to realize that it's not healthy for a game to be balanced around an overpowered thing that requires people to spend their limited resources (in this case teambuilding slots for mons/moves/abilities/items/EVs) just for something that'll overpower them anyways, and render whatever counters they force useless in the event that it's not present

can we get a super honorable place map

>>58039619
same poster here
I think this could be a good place to find a radiation-themed legendary. Speaking of that, maybe the minor legendary trio of the region could be composed of 3 legendaries from different region's legendary trios; one from the birds, one from the cats, and one from the regis.
Fodquian Articuno would be Gun/Sport type with Bane of Zblock as its ability (speed boost + sandstorm immunity so it can spam desert eagle), the idea for a mon with that ability/theming is in >>58009676. Fittingly, it'll also be found in a recreation of a Counter Strike: Source map.

Fodquian Raikou would be Mineral/Strange type, based on various proposed long term nuclear waste warning messages. Specifically:
>Its fangs would be based on the Landscape of Thorns proposal, which would be many irregularly sized spikes in various directions. These would be reflected on the design as having jagged, stony fangs, and also its mane would be removed to make room for a row of menacing stone spikes going down its back as its spine
>Its fur would be based on Ray Cats, genetically modified cats to change color in radioactive areas, and Forbidding Blocks, networks of hundreds of house-sized stone blocks to create an irregular grid of streets that'd lead nowhere, rendering the land unsuitable for farming or other use. These inspirations would be reflected in its fur pattern; lime green with dark grey squares scattered across it
All of those can be read about on https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Long-term_nuclear_waste_warning_messages
Its signature ability would be Radiation Surge, which sets Irradiated Terrain for 5 turns and confers radiaton immunity.

Someone else can decide what a Fodqian Regi would be in regards to typing/inspiration/ability/etc

>>58039910
I don't know, feels like the legends at least should be their own things and not regional varients of existing mons

>>58038800
literally my mom's tortaco (from wack)

>>58038607
150 attack and 150 speed as separate stats is one thing (even if a lot of official box legendaries don't even go that far in both stats)
having attack derived from an already absurd speed stat is another because speed boosting moves boost offenses too (leading to absurdly fast snowballing), free EVs to spend on bulk since only one stat's worth of EVs need to be spent on offenses, and self attack lowering moves have their downside removed, on top of rendering burn/intimidate useless
the ability is, to put it simply, completely game breaking

also like a few threads ago the lurkers all agreed that extreme downsides shouldn't be the only way of balancing extreme positives, as downsides can be easily worked around/entirely disregarded while positives can be abused to hell and back. it's also prone to fucking with the AI if the mon in question is bizarre enough in terms of function
