    I have enjoyed the Pokemon franchise since it was created in the 1990s, and every game released has never disappointed me. My favorites among them are the 3D games made for the N64, Gamecube, and Wii. I have enjoyed playing these games for years, and I have considered what if someone were to recreate Pokemon Colosseum and/or Pokemon XD Gale of Darkness using RPG Maker XP, would fans want it?

    I have been considering this idea, and although I am new to the forums and to using RPG Maker XP for making pokemon games, I feel I am getting decently good at it. So I ask, if I, or someone else, were to recreate either Pokemon Colosseum and/or Pokemon XD, which would you want?
     
    Could you really make a game with the graphics similar to either of those games though? If you could, I reckon it would be great, especially if you put in gym battles, towns and routes with tall grass on them. A perfect cross between traditional handheld Pokemon games and the console RPG series.
     
    I said I was only thinking about it, I never said I was going to do it. I will say getting the graphics for the games would require a lot of work, and people who would be deticated to making it look right. I'm no artist, and I'm not a spriter either. Even if I was, I know I wouldn't be able to do all of the game graphics myself, it is just too much work. I learned that the hard way with another unrelated project on a 3D engine. If I decide to do this, I will probably need a lot of help making this happen, but I'm going to wait for myself to be more familiar with Pokemon Essentials before I even try to attempt this.
     
    I'd play it. I loved Pokémon Colosseum and XD. With that said, Colosseum is almost completely playable on the emulator anyway if you really want to play it on PC(The only bug being the music is a bit messed up). Pokémon XD however, doesn't even run currently, so it should be clear which one would make a ore ideal remake.

    Wow, I didn't know someone already started production on a Colosseum Remake. Then I guess I know which game I want to make now. I wanted to remake XD anyway, I loved the storyline in it, though I know I'm going to have a really hard time with this game if I try to do it myself. I do also know I'll need some programming help since I can't program. I'll try to sprite the main character and a couple of the other characters, but I don't know how well they'd come out.

    Is there anyone who would like to help me make the tilesets for this? I know I won't be able to use any of the tiles that came with Essentials for this game.

    EDIT: Just read through part of that thread. Now I'm concerned. First it was a ROM hack, not a RMXP developed game, so I don't think tiles will convert properly. Also those users who posted there seemed to discourage developement of the game. I don't want to say I'm concerned of getting the same treatment, but at the same time, I don't want to start something that everyone will only talk bad about. It's just the way I am. Once I make a plan of how I want to proceed with this game, I'll start asking for team members to help out.

    Don't feel that way!
    The rom-hacking community is much harsher than us in the game-dev.
    I would love to see a game like this, I'd even want to help with it.

    I always really liked Colloseum and XD, and remaking them in RMXP would
    be perfect as I no longer own the games.

    Also, that rom hack hasn't been worked on in like 2 years.

    That's true, it is old. I greatly appreciate your offer to help out. What would you be able to contribute? Do you have some samples of your work I could see?

    EDIT: Ok, general question, have any of you been able to get Pokemon XD working on the PC? More inspiration for me to make this verison, because of the hassle I'm going through just to try and get a working rom. Hopefully I can get it fast enough so I can get the information I need for the game.

    Well, I mostly do graphics.
    ALL kinds of graphics.

    You can check my dA 44tim44.deviantart.com

    Also, I'm about to try emulating XD. I'll get back to you via PM.

    I'm emulating XD as well, mostly to try and get most if not all the text the characters say throughout the game. I know I'll be going through it a lot to get those parts. at the same time I'm battling the emulator at on 30% efficency and I know people have gotten it higher, but I can't figure out how.

    Impressive work, yes graphics are something I definitly need. as you probably know, this game will need mostly custom graphics to show the accurate maps. I'm going to try and work on spriting some of the characters, they might not be the best, but if someone wants to vollunteer to help me sprite some of them, I'll be happy to let you know which ones you can do.

    Sounds good.

    Also, my PC managed to play XD on 75-100% speed at all times with the latest Dolphin build.
    You sure you have the right settings?

    To be honest, I have no idea. The best my PC can do is 22% in-game. Enabling Dual-Core mode doesn't help much, it only increases performance to 36%. What settings do you have? What are your computer specs? Comparing the two might help me figure out my problem.

    After playing around a little, I managed to get speed up to 50%, so at least it's not taking me 20 minutes to play through 3 minutes of gameplay. Framerates still stink though, can't seem to get them out of the single digits. Will keep working on it and see if I can boost performance a little.
