santa trainer sprite

[Quinn]

yah. I can't always log on within the 30 minutes of the editing time, so I post under. Also, if there is a post under one, It isn't a double post right? (Someone said it would be easier for me if I asked for more "editing" powers)

[zeroality]

I know you can't edit after 30 min but that second post was after 3-4 min.

[Cranky Guy]

Hey Quinn I just want to ask why did you block the door to a room with the snow covered trees? And the childrens room too. You put another snow covered tree there and it seems to be blocking a hole ( Or whatever that is).

[Quinn]

you might remember places in Sootpolic (Idk how to spell it) and Mossdeep city, there were homes that actually had the same thing. For one, the dorr is blocked by trees and the other by 1 tree (if I remember right). Same thing here. The rooms it blocks are one room that goes into both the children room and the kickback room. It was actually gonna be the factory, with big machines and junk like that, but that was gonna be hell, so I didn't make it. I wanted people to still question it, so I put the trees in those areas.

[Quinn]

I've read that cave of dragonflies spriting guide (shading part) over and over and over again, I and I just cant get how to shade the hat more. I can see what you mean, and I have messed around with it, but I still have no idea how to change it up better....(sad that I dont know the shading)

Yay! Verbal clap!

[Merlin]

it looks good so far...
is it nearing completion or does it require something else???
because i personally think that it looks really great right now...

[Quinn]

to my knowledge, its mainly done. Just a bit more changes to the tiles, and it will be good. Also, the overworld is a bit off. Also, its DPP not FrLg, so it might have to be redone

[Merlin]

Not bad though...
that's very very good...
and it'll be ready for the game and/or the demo if it's in there...

[Quinn]

its not gonna be anywhere near the demo. Its in frost town, and the demo only goes to the 2nd gym. But yah, its "mostly" ready.

[Zenith]

Random thought...would it be slightly more tougue-in-cheek/professional if we called him "Old Man Nicholas"?

And I'm guessing he gives you something when you beat him, right? A TM or something like that? Haven't been around in a while...

[Quinn]

we have about 4 ideas now for his type. Old Man is now also on there.

2nd. We dont know yet. Since the rudolf shiny didn't win, I was thinking maybe that could be like a notched ear pichu thingy. (thats a new idea) there has been the move tutor, pokemon giver and many other ideas

[Zenith]

What about the Dive HM? Do we have that anywhere yet?

[Quinn]

santa and dive I dont think would go too well. it seems nice to inncorperate him with the adventure (I wish I could get that somehow), but I dont think dive would be the best. Thats just me though. Who knows, dive might be the best thing yet.?

[Zenith]

Well, compared to what? Since he's in a town you can't reach until late in the game, it'd have to be something like Dive or Waterfall if it's an HM.

Doesn't seem right just giving out a shiny like that. This isn't through a promotion like Spiky Ear was for HGSS, and the main reason Red Gyarados existed in GSC was to establish the existence of shinies.

[Quinn]

yah, HM's are a good idea. I'm just not so sure about which one or even if though...though thats just me. I'm kinda leaning toward the move tutor. It wouldn't be shiny though, it would be an "alternate" it would be the only way you could get that color sceme. like how shellos, you have one in the west, and one in the east, for this, there would be the normal, the shiny, and this other one and he's the only way to get it. Yet again, I'm for him teaching fly to stantler or carabrisk though. (and maybe have some other "snowy, christmasy moves to teach other stuff."

[Cyndadile]

Yeah, a winter-themed Move Tutor would be good. Maybe he doesn't like Team Rocket people, so he charges them but not Orions?

[Quinn]

hahahahah. That actually might actually go somewhere. If thats the case though, we would need something for the rockets.

Not to get off topic, but maybe Miror B could. (not really for it, but still)

[Cyndadile]

That might work. I'm serious, though, Santa would not like to deal with Rockets. He could say something about using the money for some cause or another, though.

[Quinn]

so maybe something as.

Fly: only for stantler and Carabrisk, kinda like the guy that teach the "ultimate" moves, but only to your starter's final evo

maybe some things like coldwind, icywind, stuff that isn't TM

maybe a couple light and normal stuff. Something that would have to deal with "happyness" and "light"

and for the rockets. they would have to pay like in XD, depending on move. Fly would be the most, since its impossible otherwise.

That being said, I dont really wanna use my Miror B as a move tutor, I want him a wandering trainer like the TV people in RSE.
What could we do for the rockets?

This might go somewhere.

[plkio]

fly for carabrisk ! What an idea !
(i just had to post after reading this... back to studying)

[SilentSentinel]

Why not just have him give out a Blizzard TM? We need that for somewhere, and Move Tutors are a lot more difficult to code than a simple TM gift from what I've heard from friends. It would also create a bias toward Ice moves since we are currently only planning for about 15 moves to be taught.

[Quinn]

if he's willing to give it out every other day, alright. But dont we have a department store or gamecorner that will have that? (If we dont have the game corner, we should) I know about the orange treeko bar (dont get rid of it, just rename it) and triple triad, but we should have a gamecorner somewhere if we dont already. RETURN OF THE SLOTS!

He battles once every other day, unless we have the week feature, then it would be like Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday.

[Zenith]

Ha, Fly on the Stantler line. That's pretty good. But he would only offer that if you already had the Fly HM.

Yeah, the other moves need to be ones that aren't already TMs. And we need to give people a way to get multiple copies of Ice Beam & Blizzard. One of the reasons I actually liked Voltorb Flip in HGSS was 'cause it relied mostly on logic instead of pure luck.

[Quinn]

true.
I think a move tutor would be good still...sorry RP. A couple light, normal, and ice moves.

If we have the game corner, we could have the blizzard there, and icebeam in the department store. (same with fireblast/flamethrower and thunder/thunderbolt)
I still liked slots better, but I'm really good at the vortorb flip. And yah, you have to think. Though with the slots it isn't pure luck, you have to time it right (its tough, but you stare at a part of your screen and when 7 is right above, you hit. I get it almost every time).

[Cyndadile]

I was kinda disappointed that it was only Voltorb Flip in HGSS.

Sorry, a bit off-topic but I felt I had to say it.

[Merlin]

well one thing's for sure: it's gonna be interesting to watch a pokemon who normally doesn't fly get taught the HM Fly...
so i say go with it...

but i do think it would be good if you could get a renewable TM or something from the guy...
(if you think about it a once only tm is a pain to deal with as you've gotta give it to the correct pokemon and then breed through about 20 levels of pokemon before finally getting it on to the one you want...)

me too....

flying stanler!ahhhhhhhhhhh!
hmmm funny.

[Quinn]

I dont get why they just didn't put the slots in them all except the russian ones (isnt that the one that platinums didn't appear in, since legal stuff?)

Yah, flying stantler and Carabrisk. It might be just me, but that I really like.

props to quinn cause clause is class

I'm dumb, so what do you mean?

I can see fly seems like a stong idea, like tutor wise, but what about other stuff? I've heard renewable TM, The Dive HM , a "christmas based" move tutor, a tutor that likes orions, but makes rockets pay. So what? I'm for the move tutor (possibly the orion friendly one, but not sure), or the Dive HM and he just teaches fly after.

[Cyndadile]

I like Orion-friendly "Christmas based" move tutor.

[Silver]

never mind

[Quinn]

never mind

alright. I just got back from swimming so after holding my breath for laps, and having the sun beat on my head, I'm kinda out of it.
