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!

Pretty fun, and a decent pokemon game. Though campaign doesnt sound right because all pokemon games..have campagins. Since this game focuses on just the pokemon themselves, you should've called it something like Pokemon Switched, Or pokemon Reserved, or even pokemon opposite.

OrangePylon responds:

To reflect the fact that, for the first time, Pokémon would be having a more traditional 'adventure' game, I was looking for a synonym to Pokémon Adventure that didn't sound so bland. I also didn't want something that sounded too much like Pokémon Conquest, an existing spinoff. I knew this game would be entirely single-player focused, so I went with Pokémon Campaign.

Great work!
weird and clucky controls though

OrangePylon responds:

Thanks! What was odd about the controls to you?

The game is good, but... SO MUCH LAAAAAAAAAG. Adjusting the quality isn't good enough. I like the game though.

OrangePylon responds:

I'm sorry. The game ran fine during testing, but once I ran it in a browser, it was overtaken by lag. By then, its fate was sealed. Thanks for the review all the same. :)

This game is and always was awesome, i have one complain though. The wild pokemon are annoying, and make the controls lag a LOT making me faint a bunch of times, even with the worse quality avaliable. hope it's not a big problem for you. Good luck in whatever you want to do.

OrangePylon responds:

Thanks! Glad you're still thinking about it after all this time. I've gotten magnitudes better at optimization since making this, haha.
