My pokemon project

Instead of posting news articles I have been busy working on a web project of mine. What I am aiming for is an online version of the gameboy advance game, Pokemon.

I have currently created a simple little website which allows user registration, login and to check your Pokemon party/PC. It does not look like much but there is a hell of a lot of coding behind it to ensure the websites security.

In the video bellow you see my progress. It's a quick look into the user control panel and the actual game play. And if you are wondering, the game will be exactly the same in the sense of battles, training, wild pokemon, gym leaders but it will have completely new maps and will be multi player.

My game progress so far, still a lot more to go.

Don't let the crappy map put you off, it's just for testing. The layout of the control panel is going to have a lot more done to it. Remember this is still in the very very veryyy early stages of development. And just in case you got the wrong impression, you will have to catch your own pokemon. Typing pikachu and receiving a pikachu is just a little easter egg I put in place to help with testing the game.

For all those who are interested in this project. The game itself is purely javascript, no java or flash. Since javascript is rendered slightly different depending on the browser it is currently only for firefox though. It's being done in standard web languages: html, css, javascript and php.

Got any suggestions or comments I would love to hear them.

  2. You know about Pokemonworldonline, right? Well, it got shut down. If you can make something like that, I'll be the first to sign up. Check out the source for that or something.

  3. @CPH: Haha thanks, well I don't want any legal issues. So once it is done I want to contact the nintendo and the other creators and propose this to them. There will be absolutely no profit made from it, completely free to the public.

  11. Wow, that is a fancy bit of coding! I have so much nostalgia for Pokemon Yellow (yes, YELLOW, not Red or Blue, I was -that- kid)!

  20. @Only in America: I was thinking of doing the first three generations(blue/red/yellow, gold/silver/crystal and ruby/sapphire/emerald.

    But for the first release, most likely will only be the original 151.

  26. a pokemon game with mmorpg qualities would be amazing. I've had a great deal of fantasies about this, and I've seen like yours, many similiar projects, though none of them really took off. I hope this project of yours works well.

  27. Can't wait to sign up. Your brilliant!

  28. That's quite impressive man, you sure know how to use javascript really well :D. If you make this into an mmorpg pokemon I'll be signing up for sure!

  29. This seems very bad ass. I haven't played pokemon in a long time, but I still love it and would pounce on the opportunity to play a web based version.
