Description

This is our final project for Software Engineering and Design (CSCI205). A new take on Pokémon, set at Bucknell University. We aimed to mimic the look and feel of a real Pokémon game, particularly the 3rd generation games (Ruby, Sapphire, Emerald, Fire Red, and Leaf Green). We put guest appearances by Bucknell University professors as gym leaders with their permission. As of updating this readme, we have gotten the battling in working order. The user can choose a team of Pokémon from the first four generations with any moves that the Pokémon could learn in the game. The player can choose to battle either a random trainer or the next professor or Elite Four member. The Elite Four consists of the four creators of the game. The game right now focuses on the battle sequence and has a lot of the functionality that the real games have. Only physical moves are included and only the damage of the moves counts (no extra functions of all moves are accounted for).

The player can choose their team in the beginning of the game after getting past the splash screen. The user can click on any of the 6 buttons and a panel will appear where there is a drop down list of all choosable Pokémon. Once a Pokmeon is chosen, the moves part appears and the user can choose up to four moves for that Pokémon. If everything is valid and the user clicks the done button, that Pokémon is populated into the button that the user clicked originally. The user can also click the random button to randomly populate all 6 Pokémon slots. The user can click done when they are finished editing their Pokémon team.

At the menu screen, the user can choose to battle a random trainer who has 6 random Pokémon with 4 random moves, the next professor/Elite Four member, or to reset their game and choose new Pokémon. The professors are given an order from first to eighth. You can only advance to the next professor by beating the current one. When you beat Professor King, you start to battle the Elite Four, which is the four creators of this game. Created using the Scrum methodology.

A battle in Pokémon happens as such. There are two Pokémon trainers in every battle. There is one trainer who is the player of the game and one trainer who is the NPC (Non-Player Character). Each player has their image show on the screen and then the NPC says some dialog to the player. They both send out their first Pokémon. The trainers simultaneously choose a move for their Pokémon to use or whether they will switch out their current Pokémon for one in their bag. Once both have chosen, calculations based on each Pokémon's speed occur to determine which Pokémon will attack first. Then the faster Pokémon performs their attack and the defending Pokémon loses HP (Hit Points) according to an equation based on many things including attacking Pokémon's attack, defending Pokémon's defense, Pokémon types, attacking Pokémon's move's type and other factors. If the opposing Pokémon faints (has no HP left), then that is the end of the battle sequence and the trainer whose Pokémon fainted chooses a new one to switch out. If the defending Pokémon does not faint, then it loses the appropriate HP and performs its move. If the then defending Pokémon faints, then the trainer chooses which Pokémon to send out. This cycle of battle sequences happen until one trainer has no Pokémon left to send out and the trainer with Pokémon left is considered the winner.
