Pandaa Posted July 13, 2017 Share Posted July 13, 2017 (edited) *First post, yay!* *And this is written on my phone* Anyways, I've started making a game (Still in planning phase with a few sprites and tiles done) and I'm thinking about the starters. I want one for each type, and it would be nice if they all had 3 stages. So here are my ideas: Reveal hidden contents Fire: Magby Water: Poliwag Grass: Bounsweet Flying: Fletchling Dark: Sandile Ghost: Duskull Fairy: Flabebe Rock: Roggenrola Ground: Trapinch Steel: Aron Fighting: Timburr Poison: Venipede Bug: Sewaddle Electric: Tynamo Normal: Lillipup Dragon: Axew Psychic: Gothita Ice: Vanilite I think I could make them all evolve at maybe 20 and 35, but I'm not sure yet. So if anyone has any suggestions, it would be really nice! Thanks in advance! <3 Edit: Added Ice type (that i forgot) and changed slakoth to lillipup. Edit2: Spheal changed to Poliwag.

BRS swag Posted July 13, 2017 Share Posted July 13, 2017 You could add Vanillite as a starter for Ice. It has 3 evolution stages. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fumble Posted July 13, 2017 Share Posted July 13, 2017 honestly i had the same idea, and while it could work, it might be best to allow any pokemon (2 stage or 3 stage lines) just in order to balance everything, unless you decide nerfing/buffing some of them. some of these pokemon seem a lot weaker (tynamo with only 5 moves before it evolves, slakoth who has truant for the majority of its time, etc.). here's some other options, if you want: normal: lillipup, starly (might be a bit too strong), pikipek flying: starly (see above), pikipek (again) psychic: solosis (purely because i love reuniclus but, of course, it's your choice!) bug: grubbin (just because sewaddle has a LOT of weaknesses) not sure what to put for dragon, but axew is honestly really OP early thanks to early dragon rage and dragon dance, so if you want to keep it there, i'd recommend editing its moves by level up. goomy or jangmo'o could be another choice, maybe, since they're a lot weaker early game? level 20 and 35 does seem pretty decent though, especially for pokemon that really need to evolve earlier to become good like duskull, spheal, gothita, etc. also, you seem to have forgotten an ice type ^^. swinub could be a good choice, or maybe even spheal (since you could choose another water type like lotad or tympole?) anyway, good luck! hopefully someone else has some better ideas than me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cataline Posted July 13, 2017 Share Posted July 13, 2017 I think Whismur or Lillipup would make better normal starters. They're more useful in battle and are probably more liked than the Slakoth line. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really like the tynamo line so I'll meds around with him. I really like fletchling, but I guess he might be a bit op. Will probably change to pikipek if I can't find a good way to balance him out. Gothita over Solosis everyday And I'll tweak Axew's moveset a bit. Thanks for all the suggestions!

Zargerth Posted July 13, 2017 Share Posted July 13, 2017 (edited) Did you consider Budew as either Grass or Poison -type starter? I'd like to suggest Poliwag as the Water -type starter, you can even choose between Poliwrath and Politoed. Since gen 7 is implemented in your game as well, Alolan Geodude might work as either Electric or Rock -type starter. Edit: I forgot to mention Horsea might be another good alternative as a Water-type. Edited July 13, 2017 by Zargerth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Poliwag could be great, but i don't know how to go about the 2 evolutions. Alolan geodude is a bit... Uhm. Let's say i really don't like geodude . Horsea is good as well, i'll think i'll see when i actually have something playable and see wich would work best for my game.

Zargerth Posted July 13, 2017 Share Posted July 13, 2017 Concerning Alolan Geodude, fair enough. I just suggested it because it's the only Alolan form to meet your criteria for starters. What do you mean by saying you don't know how to go about Poliwags 2 evolutions? Unless you decide to change when and how some Pokemon evolve, the player needs to acquire evolution items like Reaper Cloth (to evolve Dusclops), Magmarizer and various Stones. Is Poliwag in your opinion somehow different? The way I see it is that should the player pick Poliwag, they can choose either Poliwrath or Politoed - the one they like more or the one that might be available to the player earlier on in the game.

Expand I thought about making them evolve at lvl20 and lvl35 and tweak them a bit. But i guess i could make him evolve at lvl 35, and if It's a male it evolves to Poliwhrath and female politoed. Or i can just make them evolve with different stones. Maybe if the player chose poliwag it gets the choice to get one of those stones in the game.

BRS swag Posted July 13, 2017 Share Posted July 13, 2017 Or you could do this: At Lvl 35, if Atk>SpAtk, then poliwrath. If Atk<SpAtk, then politoed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
