Support NeoGAF

[Holy Order Sol]

A patch is ready and that should help a little according to the changelog but they've temporarily disabled the patcher because their servers were getting hammered.

 

[Banjotanooki]

It ain't goin' platinum, it's going double uranium son!

 

[Olengie]

But can i play it on my phone

 

[Exploratory]

I had a hand in voting those starters in.

The 3rd form of the fire one was true hell until someone proposed a whole Greco-Roman helmet theme.

Wow that looks like it's official.

 

[Ranmo]

lmao. That's what I said when I was first downloading the game. Man, I miss that show.

You could try downloading an RPG Maker XP player on your phone and tossing it in there.

"Version 1.0" has me thinking about all these fangames and how they work. Even if it gets DMCA'd yet persists online forever, it becomes a lot harder to actually update it, doesn't it? Hmm.

That's why it's important to beta test the shit out of the fangame before releasing it. I'm surprised they didn't notice the performance issues.

It's quite possible they did but just figured it was the nature of RPG Maker XP itself rather than anything else.

Since I mean, I am not sure how it's internally set up, but from the RPG Makers I worked with they aren't exactly made to be running at a much higher fidelty than what they support out of the box.

Having something with multiple screen overlays and extensive sprite scaling like that can easily bring down the engine to its' knees from what I've seen, but then again I must admit my knowledge about RPG Maker XP is too limited to say it's that what is causing issues for sure.

 

[BstnRich]

Aaaand it's gone.

 

[Nemesis_]

Is it allowed to ask for a download link around here? The MEGA link works but cuts out for some reason and the Google link they provided doesn't work at all.

 

[ViciousDS]

are there any fan games that remove IV's? I think that would be something I would check out as well.

 

[Kssio_Aug]

Was it taken down?

 

[Holy Order Sol]

They're tweeting alternate links because of the previous ones getting bodied by download caps.

 

[paragonpro]

Keep e'm coming. Its out now and it can never be put away. Honestly nintendo has been making me very mad lately, and these fan made games getting out before they can nuke it make me happy because i can only imagine how frustrated they are getting. Maybe this will help them to stop being such a tone def company.

 

[Kssio_Aug]

Heard the patch is failing during installation. I hope it's due servers being hammered by too many players.

 

[DiipuSurotu]

Aaaand it's gone.

I thought Nintendo doesn't take down fangames

As long as you're not popular, everything is fine.

Thanks.

According to their Twitter the server just exploded around the time that post was made due to all the traffic.

 

[LyleLanley]

Is there anyway to play this on an iPhone? Or Android for that matter?

Yeah Pokemon Sage has some really fantastic pokemon.

Some of them look like they blend in perfectly with the officials, others would actually look much better if they were given the time to improve the art (right now the art is all over the place) and a few are horrendously bad, like extremely "fakemon" bad but given that its 200+ pokemon those are surprisingly very few.

That Chemical Ghost thing needs to be real like yesterday.

 

[Sora the Cat]

Will try it out tonight, I liked the trailer.

 

[JSoup]

Been a long time since I last played a Pokemon fangame that held my attention.
No one remembers Shit Brown and Offensive Black.

Downloading now.

 

[NMFried]

Any way to play this on Mac?

 

[dickroach]

Yeah I had tried Wine just now, no dice.

Thanks though!

 

[Dandy Crocodile]

I think I'm gonna have to wait for the patch server to come back up. My game is crazy laggy when I play.

 

[Huge Succeeded]

Wow, Pokemon Sage does have a bunch of really good fakes in there

 

[PhazonBlazer]

Same, the battles are kinda smooth though.

 

[Hubble]

In before the Nintendo takedown

Wow, this is incredible stuff. I'd actually rank it up there with some of Gamefreak's bests. Will be keeping an eye on Sage for sure.

 

[Dion Blaster]

Yeah that Pokemon sage roster is far beyond what I'd expect for a fan game

 

[superNESjoe]

Found out about this too late, can't find a download link anywhere. Anyone know of one that's still active?

 

[woopWOOP]

Gotta thank this thread for bringing Pokemon Sage to my attention. Playing through it right now and aside from the hiccups which are probably caused by it being an RPG Maker project, this is really great! I'm pretty amazed how much of Pokemon's features they could replicate in the maker.
Didn't go in blind playing a Pokemon game since gen 3 so going through this and really not knowing what's roaming in the wild out there is pretty fun.

Torrents work just fine.

 

[Raven77]

I can't go to Kotaku at work. Does someone have an image or link that shows all the pokemon in this game? Interested in seeing the new ones they created. Thanks.

 

[Arttemis]

Having played only the original Blue and a few hours of Emerald, these designs look exactly on par with the Pokémon I see in all the official games' trailers over the years.

The haters on the first page just want to hate. I'd rather play a game like this than the ugly polygon world shown in the latest island game.

Go look at a sprite sheet of official Pokemon and compare it to Uranium's. Uranium has the most typical fan-gamey approach to design sense I've seen in quite some time.

 

[B_Bech]

Wanted to try it... but I got a look at some of those original Pokemon designs.... Yeowch! They look like Chinese ripoff fake 'mon. Good for them though.

Nah, these designs are legitimately bad. Like, shitty Fakemon people haven't believed since the 90's tier.
About half the pokedex in Pokémon Sage has really great stuff that I believe is on par with legit stuff. Uranium just isn't.

 

[Spira]

I can't find the damn thing anywhere

 

[Dandy Crocodile]

I can't find the damn thing anywhere

Are the links on their Twitter still working?

 

[PreyingShark]

I like most of the designs so far but they don't look like Pokémon at all TBH.

The names are what bother me the most.

Yo man I want to play too

 

[Spira]

Neither are

 

[Nairume]

Is it even possible to win the first rival fight if you pick Orchynx? Growl doesn't really seem to do much with weakening Eletux, and just trying to use scratch seems to be a losing gambit when Eletux's static ability kicks in.

Meanwhile, toying around with Eletux as the starter, he can take out Raptorch in one hit.

 

[ArgyleReptile]

I had a hand in voting those starters in.

The 3rd form of the fire one was true hell until someone proposed a whole Greco-Roman helmet theme.

Now this is a fire type I can get behind.

The grass type looks great as well.

 

[smoothj]

anyone have a link to download. it seems its down right now.
