Pokemon Mod

[Louis XXIV]

What about modding a pokemon civ.
Leader - Professor Oak
Cities - All the ones from the game
Special Unit - Pikachu

Well, that would ruin some of the rock, paper, scisors dynamic that both games have if you just have one unit. Then its not really Pokemon-Civilization more than just Civilization looking like Pokemon.

Ugh...so much....yuck. Please don't hate on Pokemon if you don't know anything about it.
Yes, it could be a good idea. But, understand, there're 386 of the little buggers, many of which evolve, and many of them look very, very different. I don't think anyone would want to put in the excruciating amount of time that it would take to make 3D models of all of them or even just some of them, not to mention appropriate effects and everything else.
In closing, let me say that people who think Pikachu should be the UU for a Pokemon Civ don't know just how much that thing sucks. It should be a legendary....like Mewtwo...or Deoxys...

 

[Louis XXIV]

Mewtwo is overrated, never heard of the other one (stopped after Crystal version). Keep in mind that some of that actual civ uus aren't the best unit they've had, just the most well known. Pikachu is the most well-known, even if he won't take a pounding (make him a fast, early unit).

True, but 151 isn't a very small number either. And then we'd miss out on some really cool pokes....like Houndoom...

you cud make 1 wit only the good pokemon like chikorita

I forgot everything about pokemon except that Alakazam was awesome.

This is a very interesting idea for a mod, though i doubt it's possiblility.

Pokemon: noun. An ingenious invention to deprive children and morons of their parents'/own cash in exchange for the most pointlessly boring game based on the worst drawn cartoon series in existence.

Interesting, but pokemon now has degenerated into something 5-8 year olds play.

yeah i remember back when it was so popular it was a game 12 year olds play

But, the game boy game even High Schoolers play.

NB: The cartoon is based on the game, not vice versa.

 

[Chieftess]

That is possibly the most pathetic idea I have ever heard from these forums. Never mention it again.

You came too late to remember sebsage....

But, atleast give people the benefit of a doubt and help them out.

 

[Louis XXIV]

Not to drag this off topic, but what were some of his ideas? (I remember him back at the old CDG, but I wasn't active over here).

Maybe some perspective would be nice for people who are quick to criticize every idea as the worst one in the world. There are far worse ideas than this one, even though this one is hard to impliment.

Syrus_Knife - a.k.a. sebsage.

(I was going to post a picture of the tiger leaderhead from his "animal/Atlantis" mod, but it seems to be in the cyberspace binary graveyard).

To sum it up, his "units" were either text files, gif picture of a hand-drawn (2D) 'unit', and an animated gif of the tiger "leaderhead" just shaking its' head from side to side - vigorously.

Pokemon is obviously absolutely retarted, but I have to admit it wasnt the worst gameboy game in the world. Actually if you think about it was pretty fun (then agian when i played it I was pretty young.)

Anyone it'd be interesting to see how this comes out. Noones ever thought of it here.

 

[Newbunkle]

lol @ that pokemon link! Did you see the competition winners? What a hideous bunch!

I'm not interested in pokemon enough anymore to do it, but I can see it working in a way.

You'd have to add unit types for each element, and then give them abilities like (for water units) +50% versus fire, or something.

Instead of making them evolve, just replace younger ones on the tech tree with more advanced versions. You can 'evolve' them by researching and upgrading.

For the civs, you could go down the regional route (Kanto, Jhoto) or have elementally themed civs, and use relevant gym leaders for each leaderhead.

Barbarians could be Team Rocket, with wild pokemon being the usual Koffing, Ekans etc.

I would probably play it, but I don't like it enough to do it myself.

 

[dalek master]

rofl. Civ4 and Pokemon just don't seem to mix....but it could work...if you were bothered to do it. I dobut it would be worth it though. So many people hate the cute little things.

I wish anyone willing to do it extreme luck. :crazyeyes:

 

[saleg37]

I was one of the lucky ones who only played the original Pokemon and avoided everything else. Good times

Unfortunetly, I got caught up in the damned card game. Kinda fell out of a favor of it when a 17 year old dude stole nearly all the cards I had. Of course I'd left them on the curb when my friends and I went to get more cokes to smash against the concrete to see em explode.

I'm not kidding. The dude seriously was 17. I have no idea why they would have stolen them as it seems a little kiddy for 17, but they weren't the sharpest tools in the tool shed.

But enough of my rambling...

Where there's a will there's a way. If someone wanted to make it it might be possible. As to wether or not it would be fun and worth playing, however, that would have to be seen later.

You cant say pokemon was a boring game. anyone who played it was addicted to it.

it wud probably be possible to implement it in some way if anyone realy wanted to
