Pokemon Cries

[Blade Flight]

More cries be done!

New ones include Embear2, Grizlare 1 and 2, Kondria2, and Pythang!

Comment away, people!

[Shizuka]

what is this forum about, its like your only using this to develop some sort of game, and the members dont reply, so can someone answer my question please.

[ImmunityBow]

We're developing a Pokemon fangame called Pokemon Topaz. Sorry for the mess and blankness right now we've just faced a forum crash and are in the process of restoring everything. Hope you stick around and see if you like it!

[Bacon God]

i dont even know where to find this game!

[MewLoverEX]

That's because it isn't released yet. We're still in the design process, and hope to have a demo released in the near future.

[Blade Flight]

Sorry, guys, but I've decided to disallow access to my cries to all, but Zero, IB, Mewlover, and Chron...if I give it to anyone else, they may get deleted.

Instead, I'll post all the cries later!

[Bacon God]

yay i want to make sprites but cant get ahold of ImmunityBow.

[Blade Flight]

Ugh, everyone, PLEASE stop using this thread as a place to discuss non-audio related things!

[Irot_Rebod]

It's kind of funny to think that we both work on audio development, but have never actually talked before... perhaps I'm too much of a hermit. v.v

Anyways, the work I've heard from you is pretty good and I'm glad that I'm not the one who has to do this like BlackTigress suggested such a long time ago. XD Quick question, though... the software we are using, there shouldn't be any issue with the layering of your cries over my music, right? I don't think it's been addressed before, so I might as well find out now. XD

Keep up the good work!

I'm fairly sure there won't be a problem...maybe you could test it out? I'm not sure, to be honest, but I'm confident that it'll work out.

[Quinn]

have you gotten your cries up somewhere? I wanna hear em so bad? Same with the music if you have it.

[ImmunityBow]

Pikang, you might want to create a duplicate account and use that to show the cries to those other than admin/mods. Otherwise I can attempt to zip them all up and upload them somewhere.

[Blade Flight]

I tried copying my MediaFire cries to a different folder, but I can't do that without having a MF membership.

How about this? I'll re-download the cries that aren't currently on my hard drive (which is a few) and then send them all to you or someone else to put on another MF account?

Also, I'm planning on more cries being done tonight, sooo...yeah. I'm thinking of doing the trio, but I'm not sure...

What else haven't I done that the demo needs?

[ImmunityBow]

Spidream still needs to be done.

[Blade Flight]

Adding the following cries for public access:

Venap (http://www.mediafire.com/?zj2hn4i5wmn)
Celsinge (http://www.mediafire.com/?nnndnmyml20)
Echoise (http://www.mediafire.com/?ndnfkznmyez)

Again, this is for those of you who haven't heard them and/or want to hear them!

[Blade Flight]

I come bearing a gift...that gift being...

...the last cry needed for the demo: Spidream! Well, feasibly so, since powerlevelling would get you the final forms of the starters as early as then, but I think we should have a feature in that that only allows up to Faharmane, Mermeidon, and Traplent. BUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUT that's just me.

I also did Gypseer and Jalsida, FYI.

Spidream (http://www.mediafire.com/?fzrmyiay2j3).
Arachmare (http://www.mediafire.com/?vwdkuj5zant).

With that, I will soon get to uploading other public cries, like the Embear and other lines.

[ImmunityBow]

Spidream sounds really fitting! Great job on that!

[zeroality]

Still need those cries from you.

[Eliot Kovach]

I can't download the cried.
All I get is the download button, I press it and I get: "Your download is starting..."

And I have been waiting for 10 minutes by now, and nothing...And I really want to hear them. :(

[zeroality]

Pikang probably removed the links, or they expired from mediafire. Anyway, I haven't had time to add what he sent me to the repository yet but I uploaded them to a folder so you could listen to them. When you click the link, you'll get a list of mp3 files. You can click them or right click to save.

http://pokemontopaz.net/testde/cries/

[Quinn]

they all sound good, but I'm just wondering why some have a different "feel" than others. Some sound really clear, but others sound a bit "off"

[Eliot Kovach]

If you want my honest opinion, since, I think, the best way to make the game better is to say a true opinion, I don't quite like them. They sound like machines. The only cry I like would be the one of Kondria, and that's good since she's my fave of Topaz.
I don't know, I would include something like their names in some of them, you know, like Charmander cry is: "Charman-Char" and Mudkips is: "Mud-Muudkip" .
This way they sound too much cyber and...unreal. But yeah, maybe thats too hard to be done.
I would maybe change my voice in different scales, to imitate some of their cries, cause I think I can do it well, but I have no idea how to record it, and it would probably be of very low quality. :/

[ImmunityBow]

If you notice, in the games the cries are very much different from the anime versions. They don't say their names in cries.

But that said there's a lot of people who really dislike cries as they are in the games, so if you're willing to record all of them or find people who would be willing to act them out (oykawoo might also be interested, as a start) then I'd definitely take it into consideration.

[Quinn]

(I couldn't do this but) What do you mean by all? All as in "all of topaz's or all as in "ALL"?

[ImmunityBow]

That would mean all as in ALL, since we can't have just the Topaz Pokemon crying out their names while the canon ones keep in-game cries.

[SilentSentinel]

That would take a lot of unnecessary effort. I like the cries right now personally.

[Quinn]

yah, I'm kinda used to the "beepy" things. I do think "some" could go a bit less computery but yah, I'm alright with them as well. Just how some are clear and some are a bit "different". I dont know how to say it, but does anyone else get that?

[Blade Flight]

The day my cries are replaced with actual "Pokemon-saying-their-names" stuff is the day I leave Topaz. That seems HORRIBLY unprofessional, and too much like that *shudder* awful excuse of an anime...

I mean, I'm open to suggestions, yeah, but that seems really over-the-top to me...but that's just me. Anyway, I have some new stuff (like Jalsida) and am working on others right now...

[SilentSentinel]

Yeah, I like the cries as is like I said before. The only in-game cry that was the name of the pokemon was Pikachu in Yellow Version.

[Quinn]

I am all for you and rp. Your stuff is good. I like it alot, just some are a bit different "feeling" if you hear them. Listen and you can deadlock it.

[Blade Flight]

ERECTIN' A TOPIC-REVIVER

I seriously have been gone too long from this - I can't even remember what needs to be done.

IB/MLEX/RP/Neon, any of you guys still have access to my MediaFire account? I'll be glad to give you the password for it if you need it...

[Quinn]

and of course quinn ;) jk

Yeah, I do wanna hear your stuff more. I'll gladly give C&C, whenever I'm hear.

[ImmunityBow]

I probably have all your stuff saved somewhere, so I could make a list of what needs to be done. I remember on the old forums I had comments for every one of your cries too, which ones were acceptable and which ones were getting there etc. I'll try to fish it up. I probably also have the pw to the mediafire account somewhere in my PM backlog. Remind me sometime tomorrow, I'm tired (^_^)zzz

I know somewhere zero had some of the cries on a site. Is that up to date? I'm uber for these.

Remind me sometime tomorrow, I'm tired (^_^)zzz
that makes 3 of us.

I'm ready for the list, finally.

[ImmunityBow]

I sent your PW. Still trying to find that list.

[ImmunityBow]

Okay, found the list:


Great job overall.

I've done a breakdown of every cry you have in your files, so here are my opinions:
Passable:
Abyssus - Lower pitched would be great
Celsinge - A bit too digital-sounding for a cat
Purior - Definitely lower pitched

Fine:
Ampure - A little bug-like, maybe a bit more high-pitched?
Cascadet - A little frog-like, maybe a bit more melodious?
Destado - Don't know what I don't find great, it works but not my favourite.
Echoise - Sounds a bit more like Mermeidon, though I like Mermeidon's own cry better. Also a bit digital, but not too bad.
Equill - A bit digital, but otherwise fine. I imagined a bit more high-pitched
Inflare - Maybe a bit higher-pitched
Kondria - This sounds more like Ampure or Equill should. I imagined a bit lower pitched, more evil and forceful because it's poison etc.
Malistril - A bit too digital
Ohmure - I see the progression from Ampure, but this one is too harsh, it actually grates the ears a bit, though it's not too bad.
Vilephist - I imagined it a bit more menacing

Great:
Arachmare
Atlaxa
Bakurge
Cackinge
Caribrisk
Cirroft
Engil
Fincherp
Firant - I like the unsure one a little better, the second one sounds like it could be Pyreign because it ends on a downturn rather than an upturn (downturn sounds more like a command, more powerful and authoritative, and upturn more like a question and more like Firant)
Frostorm
Gargoth - don't see any difference between the two
Iglonia
Jackalant
Lupine
Mermeidon
Mogel
Moocalf - 3Small is a little less harsh on the ears and is softer, so maybe that one
Phantern
Pyroon
Scorchion - Original is better
Sinestril
Skalloy
Thoraxa - 2 is the best, the original sounds exactly like another, the possible is way too high pitched
Trillogill
Typhidna - a tossup between 2 and 3. 3 is a bit forceful and a little harsh on the ears. But that may be what you want.
Venap


From what I recall you ended up redoing all the ones marked "Passable", so those may be fine by now.

[Blade Flight]

Thank you SO MUCH, IB! That list will help out GREATLY.

Except...I lack inspiriation. Damn.

Uh, any ideas?

[Blade Flight]

Except...I lack inspiriation. Damn.

Uh, any ideas?

Sorry, guys, but I'm at a block right now. I need requests, pretty much, so start requestin'!

[Mediocrity_Incarnate]

What about Kunaiga. It could be like an icy roar kind of thing.

[Blade Flight]

What about Kunaiga. It could be like an icy roar kind of thing.

Worked on it for about fifteen minutes, then realized that I wasn't easily able to make an "icy" effect as I once did with a non-Topaz Pokemon.

Part of my creativity block comes from laziness. A bigger factor, though, comes from being told that my cries sound too "mechanical" and "metallic" when I submit a few for other fangames (Amethyst, Acanthite, and the like). I mean, they tell me that they're good, but also that they never sound natual enough, too...

[ImmunityBow]

That is your weakness as a mixer, which is admittedly peanuts when compared to the fact that you are a mixer. Just tone down on the echo a little, use some lower pitches and richer, deeper undertones. You're contributing in a way few others can.

[Blade Flight]

AMG

I MADE A NEW CRY

Not gonna upload it yet, but I will later...it's Duval. It's very special to me...because I used fifth-generation cries to make it (used a combination of Lampent and Budew, tbh)!

[Blade Flight]

Just FYI, I'm getting back to this very soon. How soon? I dunno, it might be today, or tomorrow. But I'm in the mood to make these again, so I'll just let you guys know on this topic when I make a new cry.

[Blade Flight]

I opened up WavePad and have started working on Ferrian for lulz.

And because I like it (it's my favorite, tied only with Illumbra).

And because I could finish Mirust's line.

Suggestions? Like, on how it could sound? For reference, here's Mirust's cry (http://www.mediafire.com/?jgegyhnzzzg).

[ImmunityBow]

Well, your cries have sometimes sounded a little too metallic, and you could go all the way for this one...

[shyshy761]

i think allufang should be like a roar... like arcanines, i guess. (LOL i almost spelled guess guees! XD ) well, i auctullay never heard it, idk why, but i dont feel like signing up for ANOTHER account... (lol)

[Blade Flight]

i think allufang should be like a roar... like arcanines, i guess. (LOL i almost spelled guess guees! XD ) well, i auctullay never heard it, idk why, but i dont feel like signing up for ANOTHER account... (lol)

Um, what about another account? And I haven't made a cry since...*looks* ...almost a year ago. Still, I'll take your suggestion.

[shyshy761]

I was talking about I don't wanna sign up form media fire, then download, i probably can't because I use an iPad anyway. I signed up from a computer.also, Could I make a cry and send it to you? (once I get my computer fixed, because my brother just HAS to put viruses on it... My dads fixing it.but, my brother is good at mAking things like noises... If you want, I could make a cry, if possibly you have a pokemon that doesn't have a good enough cry, or doesn't have one.)

[Blade Flight]

Well, for once, the Mediafire account has been erased for some reason. O.o So, making an acccount for there wouldn't matter, really. As for making a cry, I certainly will allow you to make one and show me, but just be forewarned that it HAS to be mixed from canon Pokemon's cries!

[shyshy761]

I know. Btw, can you tell me which site you used to make the noises?(This reminds me, can you send in your own sprites for pokemon that you have idea\s for?)

[NyteFyre]

That second question would probably belong in the Questions thread. As for the answer, no, we are not accepting ideas for pokemon at this time, the list of pokemon in this game has already been finalized here (http://www.pokemontopaz.net/pokedexlisting/) and the non-canon sprites are located here. (http://www.pokemontopaz.net/pokemonfrontsprites/)

[ImmunityBow]

You are however free to post up your sprites on Cafe Topaz if you wish to have critique or commentary, or just to show them to people.

[Blade Flight]

Guess whaaaaaaaaaat?

I revamped some of the old cries I had and made a couple of new ones, that's what! Here, have a listen!

Smallard (originally the old Duval cry) (http://www.mediafire.com/?ag1k2gbhqnm68f7)

Mogel 2 (http://www.mediafire.com/?018ltnldkurst3c)

Barkub Remade (http://www.mediafire.com/?cmwh5qv5avacug8)

Duval 2, to replace the one that Smallard took. (http://www.mediafire.com/?schvwf9nw8nbsn0)

Moocalf Remade (http://www.mediafire.com/?fbr8w1t8n3etiga)

Finally, Gargoth 2 (http://www.mediafire.com/?feq4q5etitgo7eb)

As always, comments and suggestions are appreciated! The funny thing, though? All of these were a result of deciding to revamp my current Brontogon cry. XD

[ImmunityBow]

They're all pretty good, but I think Moocalf's is a little too long.

I'm not surprised at all actually. It seems like the most efficient way to make a cry is to try to make one then match it with what it looks like, rather than the other way around.

[Blade Flight]

Decided to work on some more!

Venap 2 (http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?g6i4h1y5l5601i6)

Traplent (http://www.mediafire.com/?p5j50ub99fy3fko)

Dionare (http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?4x2qbz58dmjec5v)

Typhinda 3 (http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?g7zyepwjg2ldktu)

Firant 2 (has the same filename as Firant's original) (http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?azcpx9yxy2ty8as)

Pyroon (http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?gifierg26udw71l)

Pyreign (http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?yyve2x2t47ie6tk)

I say that if any of them are really bad, then we use these for the time being anyway, Y'know, as placeholders?

[Lord Eragon]

They are all very good, but Pyreign's is a tad too high.

[ImmunityBow]

Venap Line: Good
Typhidna: Great
Firant: Awesome
Pyroon: Sounds a little weak
Pyreign: Would like to hear it lower too.

Great job!

[Cranky Guy]

Agrees with ^

[ImmunityBow]

Do you mind listing out which cries for the demo are done and which aren't?

[Blade Flight]

I actually don't know that info myself. >_<

[ImmunityBow]

Find out with the cries you have?

[ImmunityBow]

Could you just list out what cries you currently have on disk?

[Blade Flight]

Sure thing, I just gotta get them all in one folder, first. I'll edit this when I do that.

EDIT: Here's what I have so far:



*Abyssus

Anything you want me to make right now?

[ImmunityBow]

Gashawk and Eaglair would be very good ideas. Other harder but good ones would be Dolphure, Fahramane and Kelvoyant. I look forward to your work!

[Silver]

Sorry for hatin', but the venap line cries really seem off-putting to me,
I think dionares cry would seem better on tagati, and I think the cries should sound more like the carvannha line's.

[Blade Flight]

FINALLY got around to actually seeing this...

I'll work on Venap's line when I get the chance.

[Blade Flight]

Didn't work on Venap...but I still made something.

Tagati (http://www.mediafire.com/?qx8e27pp077d557). Figured it sounds like demonic chanting...

[ImmunityBow]

I could see that for Tagati or Gypseer, actually. I guess it sounds more furtive so Tagati fits better. Anyway, I like it.

[Canem]

Hey guys, just discovered this site by accident and I have to say you guys seem to be doing a great job here. The sprites in particular look great, it's hard for me to pick a few favorites out of 99 whereas Black and White had maybe 3 i really liked :L

Anyway the only thing I could help with really is audio production. I could make music (although it seems you've got that sorted already) and pokemon cries. If there are any specific sprites that need cries or if you would like some music with a certain mood to it (happy city, important battle, spooky battle(which I'd love to do :L)) I'd be very happy to make something for you guys :)

Let me know if you'd like anything from me and keep up the great work, can't wait for this game :D

[NyteFyre]

Really now? Welcome then! I'd suggest trying to get a hold of Blade Flight, he's currently the only person we have who can work this area! I'm certain he'd love the help, and can give you a list of what needs to be done for the Demo. As well, feel free to create and post anything that you have!

I'd suggest making a new topic, however, and perhaps posting in this thread (http://www.pokemontopaz.net/forums/showthread.php?170-Introductions-Farewells-Topic) so that all of us can hopefully get to know you better!

Anything you create could have a possible use in the game, though a large focus is what's in the Demo.

Here (http://www.pokemontopaz.net/forums/showthread.php?1152-State-of-Topaz-July-4th-2012&goto=newpost#post24733) is a summary of how we're doing thus far, if you haven't already seen it; it can give you a good idea of where we need things the most.

Again, welcome to the family, and have fun!

[Cyndadile]

Welcome! It's good to see a new face user!
Well, you've probably already skimmed Irot (http://www.pokemontopaz.net/forums/showthread.php?185-Irot-s-compositions) and STT (http://www.pokemontopaz.net/forums/showthread.php?436-STT-s-music)'s threads. Any town not done by them is still up for grabs. (We should probably compile a list of music and cries already done. I'll put it on my mental to-do list).
Also, IB mentioned elsewhere that Irot was having trouble coming up with an Orion theme, so if you could come up with something for Orion battles and Orion overworld events, that would be great.

[Canem]

Thanks :) (blade fight? charming name....lol) I'm glad that I can hopefully make some useful contributions to the game :)

I've made electronic music for fun for a couple of years but I've never really done anything like pokemon cries before so thats a whole new challenge for me :) When it comes to music it would be helpful to know a bit of context (ie whats happening in the game at that time) to help create an appropriate mood (we don't want the epic final boss to sound like a lullaby haha)

p.s. btw just did a site search for Orion and apparently it's not going to be used anymore? Or are orion are base and orion too separate things? I think it's fair to say I'll need to read up on the game first before starting to help out haha

[NyteFyre]

Orion Defenders are a Team. The Air Base is no longer a concept that's going to be in the game. I don't even know what it originally was for, it was scrapped a while ago.

Well, from what I can tell, you create the music, and we see if it fits anywhere, or you can try to create music for something specific. Either way works.

[Blade Flight]

(blade fight? charming name....lol)

Actually, it's Blade Flight. With an "L". But it's fine!

Welcome, Canem! I'd love to see what you can do for cries. I would like to see you make one, though, before I form a solid opinion.

Gashawk. It's giving me problems, so can you try making that one? You'll need a mixing program of course (I use WavePad), as well as Fincherp's cry and the cries of any canon Pokemon you're mixing in (as an example, I used some parts of Shaymin for Fincherp).

Fincherp's Cry (http://www.mediafire.com/?1dktm5imlxz)

[Canem]

Gashawk. It's giving me problems, so can you try making that one? You'll need a mixing program of course (I use WavePad), as well as Fincherp's cry and the cries of any canon Pokemon you're mixing in (as an example, I used some parts of Shaymin for Fincherp).


Hmm, so you'd like me to make the cries using cries of other pokemon? I was going to make some sounds from scratch but ok :L I use reason to make songs so mixing stuff should be ok.. However I'm not really sure where to get cries of previous pokemon. If you could point me in the direction of a sound bank that would be handy :)

In the meantime I have made some preliminary possible cries (with no real pokemon in mind) that I've put on soundcloud so we can see which of them are in the right direction in terms of what your looking for :)

Personally i think 3 and 4 could be used but i'm not the judge lol

http://soundcloud.com/jacksteedman/pkmn-sprites

[Blade Flight]

Wow, these are really good! ATM, I not only LIKE the first cry as Jalsida's, but also believe it's BETTER than mine!

Haven't heard the rest...but it looks very promising! In other words...

http://www.halolz.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/halolz-dot-com-teamfortress2-cookingmama-sandvichmama.jpg

[Canem]

Great, at least one will be of use then :L Let me know which ones you want and I'll split them into separate files.

Again if there is a soundbank of pokemon cries somewhere that i can use that would be great :)

[Cyndadile]

http://www.legendarypokemon.net/downloads
All DPPt cries as .mp3, if that'll work.

[Canem]

Thanks Cyndadile, can hopefully do some work on cries tmoz but I'm away for a week on the 12th so I won't be making anything when I'm away, sos :/

[ImmunityBow]

Ooh, these sound pretty awesome. Some sound more like move sound effects though, like the 2nd one, 5th one, others. I'm really glad for a boost on this front though, Blade Flight's had a lot on his hands.

[Canem]

Sorry I haven't been around guys, I was on holiday but unfortunately caught a bug in the last few days so I've been ill for the few days I've been back! :/ sods law. Now I'm going on my second of two holidays but for this one I will have my laptop and so should be able to get some stuff done while I'm away :)

[ImmunityBow]

No problems, that's completely understandable. Can't wait to hear what you come up with (I almost typed "see" there)

[Silver]

?
Dafuq did I just read...

Edit by Cyndadile: Please report spambots, not reply to them.

[Blade Flight]

Just a note: I will be revamping a load of cries that I feel are unsatisfactory.

Also, I made a new cry, but I may redo it, too: Kipporok (http://www.mediafire.com/?ufzbkmb1zb022zs)

[ImmunityBow]

Sounds awesome! Both you plan and Kipporok's cry. It's very fitting.
