Pokémon Quartz: Difference between revisions

[[File:pokemon_quartz_8391.png|frame]]

 

 

The game has a great number of spelling and grammatical errors, which mostly result from the hack being translated from Spanish, although the grammar improves throughout the game. The game also contains profanity and adult themes, which are absent from all official Pokemon games. Pokemon Quartz replaced all names and graphics of traditional Pokemon with new characters and creatures, although some of the changes were only cosmetic and did not change learnsets or types. The game takes place in a region known as "Corna", a heavily edited version of Hoenn, and requires the player to navigate a very different series of paths during gameplay.

While the best-known bootleg cartridge as played on the actual GBA contains serious glitches and errors, the current patch file release works well with VBA when the patch is applied to a clean image of an authentic Ruby cartridge.

 

 

A [[Sequel]] was in development called Pokemon Marble, but it hasn't been updated [[Development Hell|since 2008]]. [http://www.pokecommunity.com/showthread.php?p=5449743#post5449743 In 2010 he released the most recent build of the hack before he quit in the thread for an LP of Quartz.]

* [[Bilingual Bonus]]: For ANYTHING [[Author Avatar|Baro]] says about the sever, really.

* [[Bonus Boss]]: Arturo, {{spoiler|leader of the (unofficial) ninth gym.}}

** [[Misaimed Fandom]]: One girl says she wants to be a [[Arson, Murder, and Jaywalking|"Drug Trafficant, Prostitute, Sexy Assasin..."]] That last one sounds awesome.

* [[Cluster F-Bomb]]

* [[Cool Shades]]: Joseph Akira. [[Memetic Molester|Too bad he doesn't have the personality to match.]]

* [[Disproportionate Retribution]]: A Band Ambar Admin says that "I will beat you, I'll punish you, and them I will kill you, asshole kid!" all just because the player insists in thwarting Ambar's moronic schemes.

** Thing is, Ursaring is not butt-ugly and could pull off Attract if it learned it.

* [[Fetish Fuel Station Attendant]]: [http://lparchive.org/Pokemon-Quartz/Update%2011/160-pkquartzfull_177.png Check out the new sprite for the "Beauty" trainer type.] [[Bare Your Midriff|*cough*]][[Zettai Ryouiki|*cough*]]

** Doubly funny if you consider the move Sunny Day actually makes the move Thunder ''less accurate''.

* [[Gonk]]: The new Pokemon designs could be described as this...except maybe Plug-oink, which is friggin' adorable.

* [[Heroic Mime]]: Averted. Sometimes "(Player Name):" appears in the text box to show that the [[Player Character]] is the one doing the talking.

* [[Incredibly Lame Pun]]: Team Ambar. [[Don't Explain the Joke|It's a combination of "Amber", the leader's name, and "Baro".]]

** Ambar [[Bilingual Bonus|is also Spanish]] for Amber.

* [[Kubrick Stare]]: [http://lparchive.org/Pokemon-Quartz/Update%208/72-IDontLikeTheWayThatArchitectureIsLo.jpg Jonic]

** At one point she encounters [http://lparchive.org/Pokemon-Quartz/Update%2025/230-pkquartzfull_237.png this] female trainer and says:

** Another thing she says also firmly cements it:

** More quoteage:

* [[Mind Rape]]- The Let's Play of this game reveals that {{spoiler|it was Foxy's mental breakdown, thanks to being the guinea pig in Misty's attempt to teach her Ludicolo Dream Eater}}.

* [[Nightmare Valley]]: Most of the monsters are terribly drawn, which doesn't help the freakish designs. There's a few that aren't too bad, though, like [[Ensemble Darkhorse|Plug-oink]].

** "You won't have a chance against our BOSS, you cocksucker kid!"

* [[Old Shame]]: Thankfully the creator seems to agree on how bad the game is, and he's improved since then. The game even gets better towards the end...relatively.

** In the area that [[Sarcasm Mode|clearly isn't a hacked version of the route near Meteor Falls]], there is a hiker, completely dressed in green, who claims to be an ogre. His name is [[Shrek]]. [[Did Not Do the Research|But wait- aren't trolls supposed to be the ones extracting tolls from bridges?]]

** There's also a rather clever one referring to the [[Urban Legend of Zelda|Mew truck rumor]].

* [[Space Jews|Subterranean Jews]]: The molemen appear to display all the negative stereotypes of Jews.

* [[Take That]]: Baro, the creator, is an atheist. Not just any atheist, either, but a textbook [[Hollywood Atheist]] full of sense of superiority with deep hatred for any kind of religion. His constant AHAHAHAHA STUPID RELIGIOUS PEOPLE YOU BELIEVE IN SHIT remarks even made it into the readme.

** A NPC in Seablue wonders how evil is the person who created Pokémon Contests. "Attack to... the air? Show... cuteness? What about PKMN battles?"

* [[Too Dumb to Live]]: Band Ambar's plot has a few holes in it.

'''Foxy''': ... yes. That's... about right. }}

* [[Violation of Common Sense]]: Frequently.

** It was probably just as well, since Chikorita!Foxy's partner was an [[Ax Crazy]] [[Continuity Nod|Totodile named Gatorface]] who would've probably eaten ''her''.

*** ''Eaten''?

* [[You Keep Using That Word]]: Kacho and Vin keep using "paranoia" to apparently mean "circumstance" or "coincidence" or something.
