I thought it would be kinda cool, if this RPG was made into a video game. Yes, I realize it's no longer called,'Zapdoszulu' but,'HeartGold/SoulSilver RPG'. But the older title sounds more original. I already made a title screen as well. Anyone got any good ideas for this It will be made on the Pokemon Essentials Starter Kit, on RPG Maker XP.

Hey pika,
While you did a nice job, you sort of need permission to do this. Oak and the rest of us have worked hard to shape the site so it's a bit annoying to see our name and ideas used elsewhere. Could you please base a game on your own site? I'm sure you know how difficult running a site is, and I guarantee you that you'd feel much more satisfaction in creating your own story. Maybe you could base one of your fanfics/comic? You're obviously working hard at that. Thanks.
EDIT: We're still called ZapdosZulu by the way. The logo and URL show that. Pokémon HeartGold/SoulSilver Roleplay is just to make it more searchable.

I am asking permission. That is why I haven't done anything else with it, expect make the title. And Oak and the other staff members would probably do most of the work anyway.

Well, I personally don't see this happening. We still have a lot of projects here to finish so focusing on making a game isn't really something that we should take up now. If you're that set on doing it though, maybe you should PM Oak. But if you think about it, this game is based on Pokémon HeartGold/SoulSilver so the region would already be familiar. We'd just be adding to what's already there. Also, an actual video game really limits your creativity so I don't think it's a good idea. You can't create OCs or anything. So, it's not a great idea, in my opinion. Like I said, maybe you could try to base one on your fanfic/comic. You have set characters for that so there wouldn't be much problems.

I asked if anyone had any ideas, to make it different. Plus, I'm waiting for Oak to post here. Also didn't you stop to think a game would also be a good way to advertise the RPG, as well.

Not really too sure about this. First you'd have difficulty in deciding WHOM the main character of the game would be. Then there'd be the issue of if this was based on the forum about using people's characters. You couldn't just take as you see fit, you'd have to ask for permissions and for that matter, it's a rather arduous task.
As to advertising the forum, wouldn't the game have to be advertised as well? Just seems like the effort could be better used advertising this forum URL on other forums. Either way, just my two cents on this. Good luck with whatever you decide to pursue.

Nope, the default HGSS characters would be used.

And Oak and the other staff members would probably do most of the work anyway. I honestly dont like that right there. Fair enough if you have your own idea and stuff but dont think that we'll be doing 'most of the work' because I for one probably wouldnt do a thing when other more important things needing to be done first. Sure, this is a fairly cute idea but it requires a lot of work, time and thought, all of that most of us probably dont have when we're already balancing this place with real life.
Whilst you may think that this is a good way to advertise, you should kinda think about the multiple sides of this yourself. 1. This could end up being really amazing or 2. The more believable option, we balls this up, fall behind with staff board stuff and since we were putting effort into this instead of the main RP forum, it dies and ZZ is no more. That and why would the main HG/SS characters be the one you play as, they have nothing to do with this story so it doesnt make sense, you know? I have no idea about making games either, would copy right stuff be implemented anywhere? Urgh, I dont have any idea, I just wouldnt want this place to be shut down or anything.
I dunno, I just think this is something quite big and some of us might not feel comfortable with using OCs or our thought up side quests. It is a nice idea but I honestly dont think it will work. And I dont think Oak will post here, he is always so busy and rarely pokes into the Staff board.

Well, you never know if something's a good idea until you've tried it. Ever heard of Spongebob Squarepants? At first everyone was saying, that it wouldn't work cause of all the compercations underwater and such. But after it was made, everyone realized they were wrong and it turned out great.

... Pokemon is ALOT more complicated than Spongebob. If you want to try your hand at it, go ahead. As long as you get PERMISSION from OAK to use the name. Otherwise, have fun making your game that really can't be ZZified. It was made personally for a forum Roleplay. Turning a forum RP based off a game into a game will get you the original game. There's no way to really... customize it. You wanna play ZZ? Pick up HGSS.

The original games don't have a few of the events the RPG has. Also it's an RPG not an RP. An RP is where a group of people get together and write a story together. An RPG is played with modding and such and using dice and random generators.

Well honestly? You're going to do whatever the heck you want, and believe whatever you want. No matter what we say, nor no matter how logical we explain it, you're still going to, at the end of the day, believe what you believe. And you're entitled to that. I don't like the idea. I expressed one of my concerns. I'm not gonna waste my breath with the other. You've got fanfics going on anyways. I think you'll prove too busy for it.
