Scratch

No offense, but mines better. I also spent more time on it (which is probably why), and when it's done, It will have all those things. And that was a weird use of variables. How many different Pokemon are there, can you catch them, when you lose health, does it remember, etc. But that was cause of that dare, wasn't it? It was good for how quickly it was made

Yours does look more like the actual pokemon game because I didn't bother to make mine look like a perfect clone. But look at the way I coded it, for the most part the code is structured and efficient. Overall, mine has less glitches and a proper battle system, but yours is cool as well.

Hey, hey hey, Lets not start a flame war over two good projects. Just settle down and comment on how you like both on both of them. This thread is for Archmages so tell him how much you like it.

Yeah, he already has almost equal views than mine, and mines been up for 1 day and his 11 hours or something

That's because people are constantly checking his profile, lots of people do that daily, or even hourly because they all think archmage is the best scratcher ever.

thats exactly what i said! but im going to look at yours cuz i can't wait for it to come out

For a simple Pokemon game, you had like pick random divided by varaible times varaible divded by varaible plus pick random -1 to variable. Confusing

Believe me, RPG battle systems are hardly simple, and use a lot of random math. In the Pokemon games, your Pokemon actually does have an agility variable, a defense variable, etc., and each attack has a "base damage" variable too. These numbers are parsed in some way and changed randomly for the final damage. This is probably very close to what was actually used in the Pokemon games.

And your a beta tester (speaking of which, I think the health is working, and when you heal it resets it)

Ah you must have looked at the code 

I just wanted to make a version with a properly built battle engine. Most other RPGs I have seen do a set amount of damage or a totally random number and don't use proper calculations for dealing damage.

If you want the details of the battle formula used in the actual pokemon games then this link may interest you.

Not what I would call simple.
