FIRST General Forum
#1

Introducing FRC Pokemon, where you can pick (catch) wild robots and face gym trainers around the world, such as Karthik or JVN. I have rushed an alpha version of the game so you guys have something to do on the way to champs. But I don’t want to spoil the official release, so I am only handing out the alpha version to people who message me on CD, have a reputation on CD, and have intentions to report bugs and recommendations.

The alpha version includes:
Currently only one town (unnamed)
Arena (gym) with a boss (Karthik)
Catch wild robots in the grass
Pits (pokecenter) where you repair your robots
Store
Hotel (Inn)
School

Evolution of robots:
Works in tiers, 2013: tier 1 -> 2014 tier 2 - > 2015 tier 3
So robots evolve to their next years robot which their attacks deal more damage

Current robots:
2013:
254: Overkill
624: Thor
1983: Ult. Scent
1986: Kraken
1806: B2
2014:
254: Barrage
624: Sidewinder
1983: Flower
1986: Tusk
368: (need name)
2015:
254: Deadlift
624: Gravity
1983: Skunk Mode
1986: Stax
1114: SideSwipe

Plan on adding much more robots, when more towns are developed.

Currently only on PC

Message me if your interested.

This is just amazing, I’m speechless

#3

Wow, our team is honored to be featured in the alpha!

I’m sure I would be interested, this is awesome.

#4

I’m interested in this game, seems fun. I do have quite a few good exploits I can try out, will report the results.

#5

how did you decide which teams to put in the alpha?

#6

I’m guessing some of the good teams, and teams with good photographs, and probably his own team. (For example, Cheesy Poofs have white backgrounds on robots so it’s easy to add to the game)

#7

The starting teams (624, 1983, 1986) were chosen because were consistent throughout the last three years as well as they are well known. Picking one of the three will be tricky since they have different skill curves. 624: starting slow, gets much better after each evolution. 1983: stays consistent through all evolution’s. 1986: starting strong, but slowing down threw the evolution’s.

Big powerhouse teams (1114, 254 ect) will be more legendary (like mewtwo)

As for less of known teams will be the common wild robots that you catch and train.

#8

For all of you who are having trouble using the exe to unzip the game, just open it in WinRAR and extract the contents of the exe.

#9

Thank you, I’ll try to fix that.

#10

One of our students suggested that maybe add some national woodie flowers award winners in as the elite 4? ex: Paul Copioli?

#11

This is pretty ambitious but it would be cool if you could travel to different parts of the world and the wild robots that you get there would be the teams in that state (or region)

#12

This. The world map should be split up into regions such as NE, MAR, PNW, Texas, Michigan, California, Indiana, etc. Would be cool to have gym leaders or wild robots from their respective areas.

#13

I would love to be part of the testing.

#14

Yes, I have already planned on a world map with each major area with different robots specific to that area.

#15

I would like to take part in the alpha testing.

#16

You may want to make different versions of the game for different years, that way it is less confusing because there aren’t multiple roots of the same number.
Also, have the really good robots be rare, and have relatively minor teams be more common.

#17

This looks amazing. Just wow.

#18

I would love to test this game!

The beta crew is having a ton of fun with this, it’s fantastic. Working on bugs and such, having a great time.

It works like that, sort of. 254 currently only occurs in a special area.

#20

Especially when 1986 evolves into 254 :ahh:

Very well put together despite the minor bugs!
