1) Engil was unfinished when the board crashed. It still needs to be done, but I think it's the last one.
2) I thought I changed that. Canileaf and Wolvine used to be called Wolvine and Wolflower respectively, but they had a name change.

**Mediocrity_Incarnate** · 02-03-10 01:22 AM

We still have one topaz dex left? are the old suggestions still there?

**ImmunityBow** · 02-03-10 02:07 AM

The ones I could find:

A timid Pokemon, ENGIL spends its time avoiding humans. Its beautiful song is said to calm even the most violent of Pokemon.

ENGIL are often seen singing together as if in a choir. Every ENGIL sings a different but angelic note.

A trainer with an ENGIL is said to be a truly good person. The blue crystalline gem on ENGIL's neck helps the POKEMON to sense whether a person has a truly good heart or not.

ENGIL is actually very shy and will only appear to preform good deeds. Those who meet ENGIL are often much nicer than they were before.

Small and diminutive, ENGIL will hide from loud noises and sudden movements. This trait makes it very difficult to approach.

ENGIL is noted for being quite naive. It will often approach hostile pokemon in an effort to make friends.

Although it possesses wings, ENGIL's are too small to fly for long periods of time. It usually resorts to hovering instead.

ENGIL's voice is sweeter-sounding than that of any human. Opera singers study its vocal patterns in an effort to emulate it.

Timid by nature, ENGIL recoils in horror upon glimpsing any evil deed. Some are trained and used by policemen to quickly detect criminal activity.

If I am not mistaken, NO.5 was the most voted one last time. One more thing you have to do is to change small in NO.5 into something else because diminutive and small have the same meaning.

**ImmunityBow** · 02-03-10 10:07 PM

Looking at it, 5 is insanely generic and could apply to many Pokemon, such as Whispaw, Ampure, or any small and cute Pokemon, really.

**SilentSentinel** · 02-03-10 11:25 PM

I like the 8th one (the one about opera singers)

**Cranky Guy** · 02-04-10 02:08 AM

I still think 5 is better.

**Mediocrity_Incarnate** · 02-04-10 04:32 AM

5 isnt unique though. A sunkern or ratatta could have that dex entry.

**Cranky Guy** · 02-07-10 08:29 AM

OK. I am gonna post this in the previous gen dex entries. But if you dont like it IB, you can send it to the cemetry.

**ImmunityBow** · 02-07-10 04:19 PM

Sure, go ahead. There's no real place to put it anyway.

**SilentSentinel** · 02-14-10 07:37 PM

I was wondering about the CD feature. How are we going to work getting different CD's? Will they be sold in shops or given by certain people or something? Or will the player have every music theme to choose from at the start?

**ImmunityBow** · 02-15-10 04:35 AM

Shops could certainly be a cool idea, though the original idea was to find them in Pokeballs all over the region.

**Cranky Guy** · 02-15-10 07:13 AM

I was wonder if maybe some CDs could be found in pokeballs around the region while others can be bought at certain shops?

**Mediocrity_Incarnate** · 02-15-10 04:21 PM

Well figure it out when the time comes to decide.

**ImmunityBow** · 02-15-10 11:21 PM

Actually, the time is now, as the CD player is one of those things we want for the demo.

**SilentSentinel** · 02-15-10 11:39 PM

Oh, cool! I have a basic idea for how to distribute them, just off the top of my head.

Cities: There will be one person in each city that will give you the music if you speak to them. Nice because it encourages players to talk to everyone and therefore fully experience each city.
Routes: Pokemarts could sell a few of the tracks for the music of routes near the city the mart is in, or they could be given by the guard dudes in those gate things as a welcome to the next area.
Caves and Dungeons: In pokeballs deep inside them. You might have to return later with new HMs to reach them.
Special Tracks-
Rocket Battle Theme: Given by Giovanni after Jirachi quest if Rocket, given by Simon at Victory Road if Orion.
Orion Battle Theme: Given by Ophelia after Jirachi quest if Orion, given by Simon at Victory Road if Rocket.
Gym Battle Theme: Given by that annoying guy who stands by the pillar and advises you after you obtain Sphinx Badge.
Elite Four Battle Theme: Given by Tristan (4th E4 guy) After you beat him.
Champion Battle Theme: Given by The Champion after you beat him.
Pokemon Center Theme: Given by Nurse the first time you visit a Pokemon Center.
Pokemart Theme: Given by Clerk after you visit a mart for the first time.
Bicycle Theme: Given by some dude near the Bike Shop, or however you end up getting the bike.
Topaz Main Theme (Do we have a main theme?): available at start.

Probably a couple others should be available to begin with, and again, this is just off the top my head, so we'll see if it's good or not.

Indeed we do. Check the Topaz Soundtrack via my sig or through the forums. :P

**ImmunityBow** · 02-16-10 12:46 AM

I'm liking the sound of these. One of the nice things about the Fame Checker was that it gave you incentive to go around all the bookshelves and look for tidbits and stuff, the CD system in cities could be like that too!

**SilentSentinel** · 02-16-10 01:13 AM

Some of the route ones could be in bookshelves like the Saharan Library, or even Therma's gym.

**NyteFyre** · 02-16-10 02:38 AM

sounds like a fine idea to me

**Cranky Guy** · 02-16-10 08:05 AM

Sounds pretty good.

**Mediocrity_Incarnate** · 02-19-10 05:23 AM

Are there any previous gen pokemon catchable in the demo? That would let us know which pokemon dex entries we should try to officialize first.

Good to know, I'm gonna bump those ones so they get done quickly.

**Cyndadile** · 03-01-10 01:53 AM

Are we giving old pokemon light types? Such as Jirachi, Shedinja, and Espeon (a few possible examples).

**Blade Flight** · 03-01-10 02:32 AM

I *think* we are making Togetic a Light/Flying Pokemo...but I'm not totally sure.

**ImmunityBow** · 03-01-10 03:39 AM

Yes, Togetic is becoming Light/Flying and Togepi pure Light, but otherwise no change.

**SilentSentinel** · 03-01-10 03:48 AM

What about Ampharos? Electric/Light might make sense there.

**ImmunityBow** · 03-01-10 04:33 AM

It does, when I think about it. Perhaps we should start a poll about it?

**SilentSentinel** · 03-01-10 05:28 AM

Sounds like a good idea to do so.

**Cyndadile** · 03-01-10 10:30 PM

I think Jirachi would be a good light type too...

**zeroality** · 03-01-10 10:46 PM

Togetic and Ampharos are negligible Pokemon but Jirachi is a top tier Pokemon so I don't know if I like the idea of just changing his type like that.

**Mediocrity_Incarnate** · 03-02-10 12:16 AM

Keep Jirachi the same imo.

**NyteFyre** · 03-02-10 12:20 AM

either way works for me

**Cyndadile** · 03-03-10 08:04 PM

A few more questions:
1. Will there be a way to trade in the game (with real people)?
2. Will people be able to have multiple files?
3. If/when a patch comes out with more official pokemon, will it addthose pokemon's cards?
4. Have we decided how to get cards?
5. Is "triple triad" the official card gams name, or will it change?
6. Shouldn't this thread be stickyed?
7. On the IRC, is there a way to make it so people won't get to take your name?
8. Am I asking too many questions?

It may happen but no promises.
2. Will people be able to have multiple files?
RMP allows for 3 files I think, but like the FAQ says, we may only have one file.
3. If/when a patch comes out with more official pokemon, will it addthose pokemon's cards?
Yes
4. Have we decided how to get cards?
Yeah, NPCs will give you some, some will be sold (and some will show up when they become available ingame), and Legendaries will probably give you their card on capture/defeat.
5. Is "triple triad" the official card gams name, or will it change?
We'll probably keep Triple Triad, since it is a recognizable name and most people will know what it is.
6. Shouldn't this thread be stickyed?
It stays bumped enough, we're trying to minimize stickies.
7. On the IRC, is there a way to make it so people won't get to take your name?
Yes, register your nick. http://www.pokemontopaz.net/irchelp
8. Am I asking too many questions?
Nah

Dang Zero got all the money...

Someone has probably thought of this a long time ago but how do you get slowking since hes a trade evo?

**zeroality** · 03-04-10 12:14 AM

We'll cross that bridge when we come to it, I'm sure Badara can get trades going. The man is a miracle worker.

**ImmunityBow** · 03-04-10 01:59 AM

Fangking told me that trades were possible with RMXP, though if the work was too much, the idea was to have an NPC that evolves Slowpoke to Slowking for you if you gave it Slowpoke with a King's Rock, as well as a Link Cable item. Or an NPC that would trade with you and replicate all the effects of trading. Or a simple Link Cable item that evolves trade Pokemon.

The decision wasn't final.
