For the latest update, in announcing the new types.  These haven't been implemented yet, but I have everything all planned out.  Of course, it's subject to change depending on everyone's response.  There are 25 new types in total:

Returning types:
Fighting
Electric
Poison
Ghost
Bug
Fire
Water
Ice
Dragon

New Types:
Physical
Aero
Earth
Plant
Mind
Magic
Radio
Goo
Bone
Metal
Sound
Cosmic
Cyber
Talon
Fang
Hoof

As you can see, there is a lot of changes (and I am  brainstorming ideas for attacks for all of them.  I have more than enough right now but feel free to suggest any!)

The first few are just rebranding or derivatives of older types (Normal, Flying, Rock, Ground, Grass, Psychic)

The next group are fresh additions.  Some are your common 'new types'.  Others are completely new (to my knowledge).

You may be asking 'why are some types simply body parts?'.  Well, my reasoning is this:  Some types, like bug and dragon,  already describe the physical characteristics of the Pokemon.  Other types, like fighting, describe something that most Pokemon can do (i.e. almost all can punch or kick), but those who specialize in fighting will cause more damage.  Similarly, most Pokemon can scratch or bite, but pokemon like Scyther and Arbok are going to hurt more.  They also describe how a pokemon might try to defend itself, as well.

Most pokemon will be retyped, and my next update to the website will include the new types and each types strengths and weaknesses.

Let me know what you think!

I aggre witi what you said.
Yes alot of pokemon can scratch or bite but only a few can cause big damage.

And for the types:
Sound,Metal,Aero,Bone(wonder if Marowak is bone type)
Also add the Aero and Cyber type.

Thanks!

You're right about Marowak! I'm actually planning on adding in ALL of the types I listed.  Do you not think the other ones should be added?

No, but I will be adding Bone type!

I also forgot to mention, the 'Physical' type is only for attacks, no Pokemon will have this type.  I never liked how some Pokemon were only a 'Normal' type anyway, so they will all have a *real* type in this game.

Have you already planned out a Type Weakness/Resistance/Immunity chart yet? (Like Bone is supereffective against Fang, or whatever)

I haven't had a chance to update the website yet, but here is the preliminary type chart.  Let me know what you think.  Let me know if you think some types are too strong/weak/have questionable power against a certain type.

The row is for offense, the column is for defense.

And yes, the physical column and cyber row are supposed to be blank.  No Pokemon will have the physical type, so it doesn't matter if any other types are strong/weak against it. And cyber is virtual, so it's attacks will not vary in strength against any types.  Of course, let me know if you disagree.

Second one!

think I agree with you

Ngtunganh,  it took a team of professional programmers, with the experience of CREATING the first gen games, 45 months to upgrade Gen 1 to Gen 2.

I am doing this by myself, in my spare time, and for free.  I started with zero asm experience and the only reference I have is the Disassembly (again, with zero knowledge at the start) and it has only been 17 months.

This will take time (I constantly severely underestimate the time and work it takes to complete some tasks) and will not be done this year.

I am glad you're excited, but please be patient!

Hm, that is a good point.  I am just afraid that they will be too similar to the in-party sprites.  I am going to try for the faces for now, but only a few more pokemon to see how it looks.

I made a video demonstrating the new battle screen, please let me know what you think and give me any suggestions/comments/criticism.
