Whoops, I thought you were advocating having Santa saying "kiss my ass" to players in game. It's impossible not to offend people on the subject of Christmas anyway. Say Happy Holidays, and people get upset. Say Merry Christmas, people get upset. Say nothing, and people think you're cold. In any case if it's Santa, Christmas is the more accurate holiday.

Assuming this gets put in, of course. It shouldn't be overly hard to program, though it's an Easter egg that wouldn't really get too much consideration until some of the final stages of the game's production.

[Mediocrity_Incarnate]

I dont like it. It seems like it would be too much programming trouble when we are having trouble doing the actual game as far as programming.

[ImmunityBow]

Well, it would run off of the same mechanics as Move Tutors themselves, and there is a built-in timer linked to the computer clock with RPGMaker XP, so I'm not too worried about programming. It's just that it's unnecessary for now. Feel free to keep discussion going, though. We'll just refer back to this in the latter stages of production.

[Quinn]

ok. So in general, are we (maybe if later) gonna have him...1. a gift giver after you defeat him? or...
2. A "Move tutor for Stanler and Carabrisk" after you defeat him?

(I know that wouldn't happen, but I would LAUGH SO HARD if the Santa Clause character actually did say "kiss my ass" I WOULD DIE HARD LAUGH"

[Mediocrity_Incarnate]

no gift pokemon. We have a lot of one off pokes as it is.

Does he have to do something wierd like teach something how to fly? Easter Eggs are just supposed to be funny and not impact the game like this.

[Cyndadile]

Ummm... If I may return to other topics, I thought of a line (if something similar has not alredy been done):

Reasearcher: I've heard of some far-off land named SINNOH. There are apparently lots of cool POKEMON there like TURTWIG and SHINX. I wonder why none of them appear around here?

Sorry about any spelling errors.

[Black Temple Gaurdian]

That remids me:

Random guy: I'll trade my Flish for your Magikarp, they're a rare delicasey. What do you mean Flish isn't a Pokémon! Damn, you called my bluff.

[ZoruaX]

just a random fat guy met in a town: MOO, im a cow!

[BladeVap]

just a random fat guy met in a town: MOO, im a cow!

No.

Just...no.

[ImmunityBow]

It could be considered offensive, when you think about it.

[BladeVap]

Personally, I'd like to reference the guy in FR/LG that sells Magikarp in the Mt. Moon Pokemon Center. Maybe like this:

Random elderly dude in Icythes (spelled right?) City: "About twenty years ago, I was selling MAGIKARP for outrageous prices in hopes of making a quick buck. Eventually, though, I was caught and served hard time in a Kanto prison for scamming those Trainers. I only just got out five years ago. It just goes to show you, kiddo, that crime doesn't ever pay in the end!"

Iunno, might persuade people to not join Team Rocket, with that last bit. Oh, and here's his wife:

KarpScammer's Wife: "When my husband was jailed for scamming Trainers into buying weak MAGIKARP, I felt embarrassed because of his poor judgement. But I also felt sorry for the MAGIKARP he was exploiting for his own benefit. You must always remember that Pokemon and humans are lifelong friends, not tools for our own use."

Sounds good to ME, anyway...

[Black Temple Gaurdian]

Magikarp Dude/Dudet you always get (after battle): Splash is the most powerful technique a pokemon can learn!

[Tyrannigon64]

That's a great idea! Someone should say a line somehow related to spam!

[Silver]

in laysan town
farmer: ''i'm gonna go harvest me some berries!
but first a battle!''
pokemon:tauros and miltank EDIT:and flaffy

defeat: ''yah-, hold on now, you 'ain't sayin' I lost, are ya?''

after battle: ''ah shucks, I wish I could rewad ya, but I got no berries...yet.''

after N. Dex(are we even gonna use the n.dex?):''oh it's you!
come 'ere fer a moment will ya?
take these,(gives you five random berries)
hey, by any chance you don't happen to have a moocalf do ya?
if so, wanna trade fer my ponyta?''

just a random suggestion...

[ImmunityBow]

If you check the dex, Ponyta's not part of the region dex.

[Tyrannigon64]

He said after getting the National Dex.

[SilentSentinel]

We probably won't have a National Dex, at least not for a very long time when patches are introduced.

[Tyrannigon64]

Patches? What are those?

[ImmunityBow]

When the full game comes out, it won't have every Pokemon. Later, patches will be released so that the full 386 Advanced Gen is in.

[Tyrannigon64]

Again, what are patches?

[ImmunityBow]

Additions to the game.

[Tyrannigon64]

So you download them all separately?

[ImmunityBow]

Yes.

[Tyrannigon64]

I honestly think it would be more convenient to either have them all in the game to begin with (new Pokemon appearing once you've beaten the E4), or to have them all in the same download. It may not be entirely possible, but I'm just saying that that would be convenient for the players.

[Cyndadile]

You are entirely correct. But if we want to get this game out before 2025, we need to put it out like this. It's a problem of getting dex entries and movesets, stuff like that.

Also, its not like we are going to do it 1 pokemon at a time. We would bundle a bunch of them together, and have an island or something where you could catch them.

[Silver]

so will we do the farmer or not?

[ImmunityBow]

If it's after you get the National Dex, then it's way way too early to decide that.

[Silver]

then you can cut the ponyta trade!
just make him like that girl in RSE near the registeel chamber
or that girl in pastoria, both of 'em give you berreis!

[Cranky Guy]

A sugggestion for an easter egg.

A guy in the Orange Treecko: Wheeeeeeee! Burp! I kinda drank 25 cans of carbonated drinks, so I'm feeling kinda woozy right now. Wheeeeeeee! Burp!

[Eduardo]

Some Random Guy:

I came from a region named Orre, I know it's a near wasteland, but almost nobody here knows where it is...
--battle--
Defeat: Tell everyone about the Orre Region!

Talk after: This continent is a lot beautiful than Orre, but I still miss it...
