Reviews for Pokemon Campaign

[Casisia]

Has a really good potential, and is very interesting ! Nice gameplay, different types of attacks, a wide range of pokemon...
There's just a few things you should improve to make the game more enjoyable to play...

- Could have better control : why not use the mouse wheel to change pokemon ? And a single key to change attacks ? Something like "q" or "e" keys that are easily reachable.
- Tips when you go between 2 areas are a great idea, but I can't read them fast enough (some color make words difficult to read)
- I don't care about Dexter telling me who he is and blablabla, when I want check some stats about pokemon. Same thing about healing my pokemons.
- Actually a pause menu, with the possibility to check the pokedex and the map (or a least, stats of our team) is missing for me...

Otherwise, good job :)

Thank you! A lot of that was out of reach for the programming abilities I had when I made the engine (I'm not 100% if mouse wheel controls are even possible in AS2), so they simply couldn't be implemented. These are all aspirations for a group of developers more ambitious and capable than me; I'm just proud I got this far!

Here's a coincidence: I got the Hiker achievement while at the Mountain. That doesn't usually happen normally now, does it?

Anyway, the game has nice design, especially the boss fights. Charmander makes the game seem a little too easy though...

OrangePylon responds:

Really? I've had people tell me they had a rough time with Charmander. Well, to each their own. The Hiker medal is just for walking a whole bunch, so it is a coincidence that you got it at Mt. Payne!

Anyway, thank you for the review!

I like the concept of being the pokemon. Awesome game. But just checking- there are shinys right either that or my buterfree is glitched.

OrangePylon responds:

Thanks! There are no shinies. Butterfree's Mystery Dungeon sprites just look a bit off, I suppose. You'd know if Butterfree were shiny because its shiny pallet is an abomination.

GAWD the catch percentage for the pseudo legendaries is ridiculous. I have a vague idea the Omega medal is connected to Groudon's symbol, but I lack brainpower to confirm it. Great game and the mystery dungeon sprites have finally gotten new life.

OrangePylon responds:

Thank you! Yeah, the pseudos are harder to catch than most 'mons. You're certainly right about Omega. Here's a hint: it's only available after beating the game, which you've done. Try exploring a bit!

MUCH too short, but still a fun experience! Any plans to expand the world, add more missions, Pokedex completion goal?

OrangePylon responds:

I'll leave any sequels/expansions to Nintendo and GameFreak. This was made to set the groundwork for what a Pokémon action game might feel like. With some refined combat, evolutions, and more story and sidequests, I could see a legitimate version of Campaign doing pretty well. As is, I don't want to risk getting sued by making this a franchise.

Thanks a lot for the review!
