Pokemon-Style Game 2D (Unity)

This repository and README is currently under construction.

Introduction

The goal of this project is to make a playable Pokemon-style game that allows people to be exposed to the variety of pokemon more quickly and hopefully speeds the process of training, catching pokemon. This will then lead to a difficult a battle challenge.

This is an example of the environment.

This is an example of the battle system.

Known Issues

• Fix bug where two characters can walk through each other if the motion is active before collision detection occurs
• Fix bug where player can open the main menu right before entering leaving the menu stuck during the battle
• Fix bug where action selection box is still active when using a pokeball (and possibly item) (Fixed 2022/10/10)
• Fix bug where using a pokeball during a trainer battle decrements the pokeball count and skips to the opponents turn (Fixed 2022/10/10)
• Fix bug where spamming continue key upon learning TM move creates and error (2022/10/10: possibly fixed, unable to recreate issue)
• Fix bug where player cannot cancel out of TM learn move state (with escape key) (2022/10/10: Deemed Low Priority since player can select the new move to cancel out, would want to allow escape key to leave as well though)
• Fix bug where the name of TMs (possibly items in general) are cut off in bag (Fixed 2022/10/10)

Known Inconsistencies with Pokemon Games

• Fix where statuses should be checked after all moves are completed (Fixed 2022/10/7)

• Fix where items are not sorted by name

Maintained Discrepancies

• As with new version of the games, there will be no HMs. TMs will also be reusable.
