Reviews for Pokemon Campaign

[candalas]

very nice, i hope you'll make a bigger version of this.
-1 star for being too short.
-half for having no mute button
- half for weird camera and motion
- half for having a very not inducting interface.

PS: i found a bug.. after i finished the campaign and capture the last pokemon, my drifloon (3rd slot) turns into a lotad when i click it, although his icon stays the same, and he turns into a drifloon normally if i press "3" instead of clicking it.

my team is charmander - pikachu - drifloon - racecar - last campaign poke.

everything else seems normal

OrangePylon responds:

Thanks for the Drifloon tip; I'll look into it. I'm surprised you found the game short; I thought it was quite large for an indie Flash game.

This game has a lot of potential, but it needs some improvement with the UI and other tidbits to truly make it shine.
The catching system: i like it, but if you add an option or additional key press to use a pokeball to catch a low health pokemon that would make it less rng based. just for when this game really takes off.
Map: one of the upper corners could house this, just so it's easier to navigate the world
Evolution: at least try to get this implemented to where you can evolve your party rather than have to find a replacement for it because it can't keep up
Bottom of screen: with some cleaning you might be able to resize it so it takes up less room and still has legible text so we know what we are doing.
i don't expect any of these to appear overnight, and in fact i won't expect them in any near future update. but if you do update this game (and i sincerely hope that you do) that you try to add these to it, and expand on the story as well.
2.5/5 the potential is there, but needs some more meat on its bones to truly shine

OrangePylon responds:

Thank you, those are some neat suggestions. I really did set out to create a basis for what a real-time Pokémon game would be like, and if Nintendo were ever to officially expand on it, those features would be awesome (a pause menu to house a map would be my most-wanted feature). Thanks for the review.

Great game, but it's a real shame that the controls are locked into WASD. As a person who is both left-handed, and uses a non-qwerty keyboard, this is highly frustrating for me.

OrangePylon responds:

You have a non-QWERTY keyboard? That's interesting. Is it a different language or something?

I really like this, but I wish there was a mute option.

OrangePylon responds:

Definitely noted for the future. Thanks!

The game lags a lot and YOU are the pokemon's, not the trainer but have things goods, a world to explore and battle's with the pokemon's in the past

OrangePylon responds:

Yeah, refer to the previous review. The game took on a new level of lag now that flash games have to run in an emulator. Hopefully things will be restored eventually.
