Pokémon: The Missingno Tracks - History

[Fishy]

Do you have my wav Damned? I sent it ages ago I'm sure.

Also I will try and get the andyjayne track in - I honestly enjoy it - but exams start may 26th here, so I really can't promise.

[The Damned]

No, I don't have it. It's not on the forums either, at least as I can tell.

[chrono26]

you have my wav. right!?!?!

[Level 99]

Uh oh.....

[Mirby]

Five periods for 10char? lol

[Emunator]

Now seems like a good time to forgo the lossless release, like Rozovian is doing with his project. It seems like one of those things you need to prepare for early or else you'll have to spend too much time scrambling around at the end.

That said, good luck if you decide to pursue it!

[halc]

i agree. let's release this today :<

[Bahamut]

Might as well release what lossless he does have though - couldn't hurt.

[The Damned]

Hmmm... maybe lossy would be just better. But at least encode everything to maximum quality (320 kbps and all that).

But there's still the artwork and website.

Ultimately, I'd like to send a copy to GameFreak in Japan,hence why I wanted WAVs for a physical CD with a note to the company.

[Mirby]

GameFreak's in Japan? I thought they were in Celadon. :P

[prophetik music]

remember when i was heavily involved with this project? yeah, i don't either.

i have WAVs of the following songs:
clash of the titans
cycling with the wind
gym battle mixdown
game on
pokemon_V1-16
rokit

note that mine isn't on there =) i actually don't know if i'll be able to get you one, since i'd have to find a bunch of samples that are probably named something else now. we'll see.

[The Damned]

remember when i was heavily involved with this project? yeah, i don't either.
In all fairness, you were involved in like, twelve different projects at one point, so no one can blame you.

i have WAVs of the following songs:

pokemon_V1-16
rokit

Can you get those to me sometime?

[Fishy]

Aha, knew I gave it to someone once!

[prophetik music]

it's survived through two reformats, so how cool is THAT?

on may 31st (if there is one) i'll mail them over. let me know what you get until then so i don't send a ton of extras.

[chrono26]

Mr.Burrrrrrrrrr you dont have mine?!?!!?!? someone let me know if u have it or not so i can get it to you

[The Damned]

I can't even get the mp3s off the site anymore. They're dead links.

[Hobocop]

Sorry for interjecting, but I'm happy this is still happening :D
And it looks better than ever too! I still have snotty mail from that donut guy from 2005 regarding this project, so it's really been a long time coming... Anyway keep it up!

[Mirby]

Could this be the longest project (timespan-wise) in OCR history? I think so!

[Emunator]

Could this be the longest project (timespan-wise) in OCR history? I think so!

Link's Awakening and Super Dodgeball have both been in the works longer than this one ;-)

don't forget about Milkyway :wink:

[Mirby]

Well then, I was mistaken. Thanks for the correction! ^_^

[Emunator]

Milky-what? :whatevaa:

[Mirby]

Milky Way Wishes.

[halc]

internet sarcasm ftw

[Mirby]

not getting sarcasm ftl

[halc]

that's the spirit!

and you better watch it, emu. consider yourself lucky my dkc3 tracks are already done :lol:

[The Damned]

OK, so here it is, with only two weeks left, and I only have eight tracks out of the twenty-five tracks.

Just saying.

[Mirby]

Crap! C'mon people, get your tracks in! I've been waiting for this since before I even registered; so close now, and not even half of the tracks are in. Please send them in!

Just asking. :P

[Melbu Frahma]

OK, so here it is, with only two weeks left, and I only have eight tracks out of the twenty-five tracks.

C'mon, people, step it up! :350:

[Level 99]

You have mine, damnit. YOU HAVE IT. What more are you asking of meh?

[Melbu Frahma]

You have mine, damnit. YOU HAVE IT. What more are you asking of meh?

Make him a second one, by 4:00 p.m. tomorrow, fully completed.

Also, a sammich. Make him one of those too.

[Brandon Strader]

So just 9 days now until the end of the Pokemon project! I am very happy for all of you who are involved with this. It's good to see the finished project queue stacking up now. I hope it doesn't take too long before we get to hear this.

[ZeldaStrife]

i am very excited about this project. I know it's been in the works for a while now, and I cannot tell you how pleased I am that this is almost finished!!

Has OCR given you guys an official release date?

[The Damned]

No, this is just the deadline for tracks. Art and website still need to be done.

Again, this isn't the release date or anything. Just a deadline for tracks, nothing more.

[ZeldaStrife]

No, this is just the deadline for tracks. Art and website still need to be done.

Again, this isn't the release date or anything. Just a deadline for tracks, nothing more.

Ah, I understand.

At any rate, keep up the excellent work, everyone!

[Level 99]

Art and website

................well?

[The Damned]

Fuck if I know. I had several people say they would do it, and then I haven't heard back from them in months.

I think people try to join this project, and then someone murders them. Why? I can't say. It's just a theory.

If they're anything like Pokemon, they've got to be chosen, at which point they will exit their pokeball. Maybe they're just stuck, you know, inside of the pokeball.

[Melbu Frahma]

Or maybe goddamn Team Rocket keeps thinking they're fossils and steals them.

[The Damned]

OK, so maybe I need to extend the current WAV file deadline to like... June 30th? Because I only have a third of the total completed remixed submitted.

Good idea/Bad idea?

[WillRock]

OK, so maybe I need to extend the current WAV file deadline to like... June 30th? Because I only have a third of the total completed remixed submitted.

Good idea/Bad idea?

i'd send everyone who hasn't sent in tracks PMs to get them in asap.

[Brandon Strader]

I wouldn't extend it a month, maybe a week. But as soon as you give them an inch, they'll walk all over you. :-)

[Melbu Frahma]

I wouldn't extend it a month, maybe a week. But as soon as you give them an inch, they'll walk all over you. :-)

Two weeks, tops.

[WillRock]

Well if it helps, I can get you protodomes tracks and I got My Greatest Rival as well. I don't know if the artists have updated them since but I doubt it.

Rozo tells me he's going to get his in, Tweeks is on OCR so you can get that from there.

I know that people haven't forgotten about it, they just need a kick up the backside :P

[The Damned]

I only need Blue Haze from you and Rozovian.

[Rozovian]

Sunday. Patience.

[The Damned]

Ahh, I just sent a bunch of PMs to everyone with outstanding remixes. In the time it took to send them, you responded, Rozovian. Sorry if it seems like I was pestering you.

Also, Blue Haze is awesome. You guys will like it when it comes out.

[Rozovian]

Also, Blue Haze is awesome. You guys will like it when it comes out.

With one obvious exception.

[Brandon Strader]

Lemme know if anyone drops their track or if there is one open, for whatever unfortunate reason there may ever be, and I'd be happy to whip one together quickly. But hopefully nobody drops and you don't have to drop anyone for not turning something in. :-) Good luck ya'll

[The Damned]

Nope, sorry. I decided months ago that we're done with tracks. Even if a lot of tracks don't somehow make it to the album, we're still well over a dozen and a half tracks. That's more than a full CD, going by minutes.

Maybe if I want to do the sequel, "The Missingno Tracks: Special Pikablu Edition".

Yes, that's right; I already have a name picked out for a possible sequel. That's how hardcore I am.

[WillRock]

Sent you a wav damned, did you get it?

[The Damned]

Getting it now. Thank you.

EDIT: Wait, was this previously titled something else? Because I either have it with another name, or I never grabbed it from the project forums before. It doesn't match any of the other files I got from you.

[WillRock]

Getting it now. Thank you.

Never had a working title, was just route 225 for ages.

I did call one version of it oh yeah tho, because of that intro.

We were going to call it growth, harden, string shot but I thought it would be inappropriate :P

[Mirby]

Those moves will never mean the same thing to me now, Willrock. Thanks... *rolls her eyes*

[WillRock]

Those moves will never mean the same thing to me now, Willrock. Thanks... *rolls her eyes*

Blame halc or proto. Can't remember who came up with that but it wasn't me :roll:

[Mirby]

Well I knew about Harden, but those three in succession? Yeah, I'll blame them.

[The Damned]

It's an old pokéjoke, but a good one.

[Rozovian]

Screw this, I quit!

Also, uploaded wavs to the usual location.

[WillRock]

thats my work for this project done then. i'm out of here, smell you guys later.

[Brandon Strader]

I hope you got a lot of WAVs, T.D. :-)
Congratulations on reaching the end of the calendar

[prophetik music]

i've been on vacation at the outer banks and haven't done a thing on this project in years. i'll try to pull a wave together. you'll get a carefully upsampled version, if nothing else =(

[The Damned]

Screw this, I quit!

Also, uploaded wavs to the usual location.

Uhm... where would that be, exactly? I don't see it on the project boards.

[Rozovian]

Same folder as always. Just find any of mine, and take out the filename from the url.

[The Damned]

Ahh, forgot about that. I had to go back and find it. I should have bookmarked it. Also, I'm going to download any other stuff you have, because you've got some good stuff in there.

Files obtained!

Wow, did you really go through 13 versions of Blue Haze?

[WillRock]

yep, we did lots of versions, and I had some others before hand, the 13 you've seen are just from when rozo came in and started messing with it.

Also, july 31 deadline = too far :P

Only need two weeks I reckon, everyone will forget otherwise.

[The Damned]

June 30th then? One month, which is halfway-ish between two weeks and two months (sort of).

[WillRock]

June 30th then? One month, which is halfway-ish between two weeks and two months (sort of).

Well tbh its up to you, but i'd stick with one month and just pester everyone like a dog pesters his owner for a walk rather than have 2 months wait and leave everyone to get on with it themselves :P

[The Damned]

Well tbh its up to you, but i'd stick with one month and just pester everyone like a dog pesters his owner for a walk rather than have 2 months wait and leave everyone to get on with it themselves :P

Well, I only have to pester about, six or so people. First page has a list of what's handed in and what's not.

[Brandon Strader]

You could set it for 6 months, it wouldn't matter too much... project queue is getting mighty big.

[WillRock]

You could set it for 6 months, it wouldn't matter too much... project queue is getting mighty big.

Don't give him any ideas :lol:

[The Damned]

Still got a list of WAVs that are MIA.

First page and all that.

[prophetik music]

got one coming your way. i knew i had a wave somewhere, just took forever to find it.

[WillRock]

If Protodome and Fishy don't get their remaining tracks in, I will see to it that they die very violent and painful deaths.

That is all.

[The Damned]

prophet's remix is in! Thank you, good sir! You are now free!

[halc]

are we still waiting for .wav's? seems pretty safe at this point to assume you're not going to get them. :/

[WillRock]

are we still waiting for .wav's? seems pretty safe at this point to assume you're not going to get them. :/

Agreed, just wrap this up and leave out the ones for people that you haven't heard from if there isn't a way of getting the artists without them giving them to you.

[Brandon Strader]

There's not really much of a reason to cut and run at this point. Even if all the wavs were in now, the project wouldn't be released for several months. I'm not saying that to make people comfortable with being late, TURN IN YOUR CRAP -- Be responsible, come on. But yeah.

Also Willrock you better go check under the coffee table, a big R hit your little r over the head with a mallet and stole his spot.

so what... it basically all falls to pu_freak? :D

[The Damned]

I don't know what happened to his remixes. The project forums had them, but the links are totally dad now, and I don't even have the MP3s of his stuff. They all disappeared. It's like, someone didn't want them to be heard.

Oh my god... someone hacked our megahertz and wi-fied our server with a Facebook!

[halc]

doesn't he have them?

[The Damned]

I asked, but I never got a response.

[Mirby]

Might I ask what the source tracks are, just out of curiosity?

Finally! I need wavs for your two remixes, and I couldn't get a hold of you for some reason. I thought you were kidnapped by Guatemalan militants.

How dare you, my track didn't evaporate into nothingness. It's almost done! I sent you an almost finished wip last month!

Don't got it. I'm pretty much thinking that it would pass anyway, so you might as well send the final wav file to me.

[Fishy]

Check your pms foo.

Battle For The Badge - fishy - (R&B Wild Battle?)

Fail will. The clues in the name.

[WillRock]

Well FUCK. Like i'd put badges and gyms together :<

Oh no, I didn't update the title in the first post! Now we have to shut down EVERYTHING, and start over from scratch!

If only you hadn't drawn everyone's attention to it, we could have ignored it and carried on like nothing was wrong. But now, now we have no choice but to completely redo the entire album.

Sorry everyone. I'll be expecting your new, completely redone remixes by December 1st. I know it's hard, but we have no other option now.

[Level 99]

There is no time that image is not hilarious. Also, nice job on getting all the wavs. I'll give you a nice shiny quarter if we can get the art done and the album out before the five year mark.

[The Damned]

More like four year. That first year OmegaDonut did nothing wasn't on my watch.

Also, SHUT UUUUUUUP.

[Anorax]

Oh no, I didn't update the title in the first post!.

Looks updated to me...

[The Damned]

I ninja'd in when no one was looking.

"Ninja'd" is totally a real word.

...excuse me while I go orgasm

[Fishy]

Also super effective was by me and andyjayne (nocaps). It's his arrangement but I'm making it. Not even sure if that's going to be the final name.

[The Damned]

Fixed. andyjayne added to song.

[PROTO·DOME]

What about mah latest track eh? EH?

[The Damned]

No one said anything about it, so you're not only fired, but you're set to be executed on Sunday. Sorry, but I don't make the rules around here.

[Savior Sephiroth]

Great sadness. I came back here thinking that May 30th was the release date and I was way overdue on getting this, but I was mistaken. I look forward to hearing your guys' stuff though when it gets done! Keep it up!

[The Damned]

No one ever said that was the release date. Ever. At all. Even in mistake.

Yeah, what's the deal? Don't let the Sonic project leapfrog you like that!

[Brandon Strader]

Everyone knows Pokemon is a subpar game series. Sonic for the win, because everyone loves Sonic. It's not about obscure music here. SONICCCC sonic They need music they can package and use to the site's advantage pokemon won't do that

I hope you realize how hard i'm pulling your chain on this one... or am I?!

[Benjamin Briggs]

I updated and remastered my ss anne track

damned, I sent mp3/wav links to you via PM

and it sounds much much better now imo

[McKnackusThe1st]

So you need an artist?

I'm not sure if I've mentioned him already, but this guy (http://super-tuler.deviantart.com/) might be willing to make you some artwork.

Or I could take a crack at it but I'm not nearly as good as he is.

[Emunator]

I've got a bit of a working sample for the inside inlay that everyone seems to have liked, so in the coming days I'm going to try and spruce it up and see what I can come up with :-)

[Fishy]

Yo, me track will be done by next weekend. You read it here first.

[The Damned]

The last few posts, plus the early-stage website Cerrax sent me, is making me feel all kinds of tingly.

I must contact that artist. That Charizard one is just damn good.

Excellent.

If it doesn't work out let me know and I'll submit something to the cause and if you like it I'll take on all the promotion material, perhaps as a discounted commission. ;)

[Cerrax]

Everyone needs to get over to the website discussion thread right now.

NOW DAMMIT

[The Damned]

And where might we find this thread, oh anxious one?

Project members only. Even if you did have the address, all you would get is a few sections of the boards with no real content.

[Fishy]

DONE. I wasn't even lying or anything. Check the forums for final version doods.

[McKnackusThe1st]

Any news on the art side of this deal?

[The Damned]

Trying to get artwork sorted out now. Depending upon how things go the next couple of days, it will be taken care of sooner or later.

Vague enough?

Vague enough?

Too vague.

I swear I'm fixin to send in my own mockups for promo art.

One idea I had was that the promotional artwork would be based around the five different forms MissingNo is represented as.

http://grasstorterra.weebly.com/uploads/2/8/2/6/2826818/3702813.png

I figure that would be fitting.

[The Damned]

OK, the first thing I'm going to say about any artwork is no pixel art, especially using game elements. No thanks, not happening. It's using far too much of the original game material, and it looks plain and derivative. There might even be some legal issues about it, but ignoring that, it just reeks of lack of imagination.

This is a chance for some really good original artwork to appear, and instead of slightly editing the old sprites, how about we get something that stands out and doesn't crib from GameFreak?

That sounds like a challenge.

I accept. :)

though something I feel I should ask is this: what is the overall feel of the album? I don't want to go the mysterious route if it's bright and cheery music. So if I could have a lead on the albums overall demeanour that would be great.

Judging by the preview I would assume that the genre of music is all over the place, so I'll keep that in mind and try to make it ambiguous in the cover.

There is no real style of music, yes. The idea is to take the various songs and just have fun with them, like you would in the game. Play it your way, if you will.

[McKnackusThe1st]

Here's a quick concept I came up with.

http://img265.imageshack.us/img265/156/missingnoart1.png

I can make it look a lot better given time, but I want to know what you think about the setup. I may change the sillouettes into full art pieces. I was also thinking of making it look like an actual Pokemon game boxart featuring the two boney pokemon (which are apparently rarer than the other MissingNo forms) on the two different versions/disks.

Also, how big should I make the final cover? I don't know if it'll get printed ever, or how OCRemix works when it comes to extra material.

Also, besides the cover, is there any other pieces of art you'll need? (promotional, etc...)

[Brandon Strader]

The only thing throwing me off about that is all the pixel stuff in the middle.. wtf is that.. I've never played the old pokemon games though. :-)

It's the original MissigNo Sprite in the original game

If you want I could meticulously draw every pixel of the MissingNo sprite in a hand drawn blocky style, I just figured I wouldn't need to since that's just a concept drawing.

[Dunther]

Maybe the MissingNO shape can be used in one of the title characters...

hey, why is there an egg at the top of the mountain? that's really weird...(BS's comment on the artwork for the Link's Awakening project)

you've gotta think before you type, man :<

[McKnackusThe1st]

that might be a tad difficult, but I do think it should be included. I could easily include it in a pokemon logo if I were to make it a parody of the real Pokemon boxart.

I don't have to think before I type. My actual comment was "That is incredibly impressive, great work. The.. mountain tip looks a little weird though.. and has spots on it.."

I was referring to your artwork looking like a spotted penis.

Thanks for clarifying that. Never played any of the pokemon's, so as an outside observer which many who listen to this album may be, I thought it was a little strange. :-P

Well artistically speaking it definitely clashes, so without that background information I understand your confusion.

Anywho, I guess I should compile a list of questions I need answered in this post. This is my first contribution to OCRemix and I'm not sure how this is supposed to work, so yeah.

1: How big does the picture need to be?
2: Will I need to make multiple pieces of promotional artwork including the cover art?
3: Will any of this artwork ever be printed anywhere? such as on CD's? This will give me a better idea as to how I should go about preparing the final piece.
4: I know pixel art is being discouraged, but in the case of the MissingNo sprite, it's kinda hard to avoid. After all, it's just a jumbled mess of pixels. So can I use the MissingNo sprite itself or will I need to re-create it somehow?
5: Is this album connected to any one version or generation of Pokemon games or is it just an overall Pokemon album?
6: I know this question is a little odd considering my sudden involvement with this project, but is it possible for me to join the project's forum in order to more directly communicate with others working on this project? Though I also wonder if it would matter, since I can talk to you guys on this forum just fine. Just a though.

In addition, any and all comments and criticism on any and all of my submissions would be greatly appreciated. The more feedback I get, the better chances I have of bringing you guys a more refined cover piece. ;)

[WillRock]

O_O

I don't see it myself which makes me wonder what you were thinking about at the time of viewing that. Off the point of this thread but yeah...

[PROTO·DOME]

Wait, why are you doing artwork? Don't we already have artwork going on? Wasn't there a Pokémon project? WHEN IS THIS THING DONE?

[Level 99]

WHEN IS THIS THING DONE?

Spring, 2010.


Oh, wait a minute...

Edit: It went Missing, No (Resub)

[Chernabogue]

This cover is really nice! With a little more work, it can be very very good.

[The Damned]

We have another person working on another version of the cover. Maybe we'll end up with two versions... like some sort of game series that did that as well. Can't place the name. Oh yeah, now I remember!

Digimon! Man, someone should totally do a album for that.

[Emunator]

Well you guys seemed to be having trouble finding an artist so I thought I'd take a stab at it.

[prophetik music]

"That is incredibly impressive, great work. The.. mountain tip looks a little weird though.. and has spots on it.."

which is the hilarious thing, because it was such a stupid comment. i mean, do you really think someone would paint a nice picture for us by hand and then shit on one big section right in the middle?

[The Damned]

Not to be an ass (even though I actually am one), but shouldn't the Link's Awakening album stuff go in the Link's Awakening album thread?

[McKnackusThe1st]

I think they were just messing around and it came up in this thread for some reason. It's been in the other thread for a while now.

Anywho, anybody have answers for my questions in the previous page? Kindof important.;-)

[The Damned]

The following people need to submit their "pokédex" entry to Cerrax at some point. Just look at the other to get an idea for what to write.

Nothing to fancy, just a little blurb about yourself, Doesn't have to be super-accurate, but it does have to be done. If not, Cerrax and myself will start making things up for them. Things like "enjoys BDSM" and "once raped himself with another persons hand", maybe even "convicted felon in eight countries".

Cerrax has pms.

I mean, he has mine in his inbox.

Is there a more appropriate way of saying I've given him mine?

[Cerrax]

Yeah I had Rozo's stuff inside me--I mean....in my box--uhh..... turned in to me for a while.

I have also received andyjayne's stuff. So the rest of you better hurry up, because I think Damned is getting a little too excited about writing his own bios for people.....

I sent PM's on OCR to everyone on that list and only a few have responded so far.

I hate to be a nuisance, but I can't exactly help unless I get some answers. :???:

[The Damned]

One of our in-group artists has submitted what will be the final album art. I've decided to use it because of several factors:

1. The artist was with us earlier, and has already done some of our artwork.

2. The project is dragging on long enough as it is, so a final design is ready and just needs to be polished up a bit.

3. The cover in question has most of the required elements I've asked for, and is pretty much ideal.

Thank you for your effort, but we aren't going to need any other artwork at the moment. Thanks, any way.

[McKnackusThe1st]

Oh ok, cool. :)

Now to wait for the release. :)!!

[Dunther]

I've just remembered that there is a form of MissingNO that you haven't thinked about:
http://southernwharf.pokecommunity.net/poke_basic/bug/missi_stadium.jpg
The Pokémon Stadium one, that is the same as the puppet that comes out when you use Substitute in that game.

[McKnackusThe1st]

So how is this coming along?

[The Damned]

Nintendo sent us a Cease and Desist order, calling for the removal of all music and artwork containing, in part or in whole, any Pokémon

That's what we get for using ROMs to get the original songs to the project members...

Oh, wait, that's Serebii.net.

We're still waiting for a few people to get their little write-ups done, and one more remix to be handed in.

[Thylacine]

Ack! You nearly gave me a heart attack there, Damned. This and the Link's Awakening album are both things I've been looking forward to for a while now.

Has a C&D ever been an issue with OCR?

[DarkeSword]

Edit: BTW, looking forward to this album by a lot.

[Liontamer]

I figured. That said, I'll need WAVs (preferable) or already encoded MP3s & FLACs so that I can prepare the files. Let me know what I can get those and I can help move that along when I have time.

They're done, it's just the few finishing touches that are left.

[Rozovian]

Ehrm, this is gonna sound ridiculous at this point, but there's a compression issue in one of my tracks, an issue that apparently arose during the post-wav edits. Not pointing any fingers here but it wasn't my fault. I'll see if I can up the levels or whatever was needed for the track myself, then upload an improved version.

Shit. OK, get that to me when you can.

I'm quite surprised to find this thread. Looking forward to this one quite a bit.

[The Damned]

PROBLEM SOLVED! GO BACK TO YOUR HOMES, and wait for further instructions.

[Mirby]

But I live in Glitch City. You know how hard it is to get there? D:

[The Damned]

I guess you're screwed then. Sorry.

[Senzune]

So, what's the status? The first post of this thread isn't really useful to be quite honest with you. ;P

I just found the website of this album, and looking at the artists page, I found some familiar names - this album is certainly promising, and note that I'm making one hell of an understatement!

[Rozovian]

Doesn't "tracks are done! artwork is next" in the thread title give you some idea of how close to a release we are? :P

[Inferno232]

It's been up for about a month or two, actually, hasn't it? I'm a bit fuzzy on how "close" measures up, timewise. :P

But I'm not nagging! I'm psyched to see a full album come out. I've been cruising these forums since the FFIV one was released and never saw the Donkey Kong one in development, so this is the first album I've followed on the forums to come out. It's a bit exciting, but I can still wait.

[The Damned]

Well, i should have changed it, yeah. But really, it's only two remixes that I'm not sure if they're still being done or not. They were both very far along, but now I have to wonder if they are getting cut or not.

Everyone bug pu_freak for those two remixes.

[Dunther]

It's that the final cover art? I like it, though it feels too much anime related to be honest.
Anyway, I think that some references to the glitch nature of Missingno would be a nice addition (like numbers floating in the backgound).

[Mirby]

holy crap, read the dex entries, and those are hilarious.

question: what are the weaknesses and strengths of British type Pokemon?

[Melbu Frahma]

The cover art is just beautiful. Kudos.

[Rozovian]

We're writing looong bios/thingies? K then, gonna have to extend mine, and add type.

[The Damned]

question: what are the weaknesses and strengths of British type Pokemon?
Anything that involves proper dentistry or lack of dark ales, I would think.

[Rakuko]

After looking at the tracklist, I'm surprised that the Gary Champion theme wasn't on it. I totally thought My Greatest Rival was a Gary Champion remix...... oh well, i'm happy that the project is so close, and the cover looks great.

[Benjamin Briggs]

checking out the website; noticing that my bio is pretty bare compared to everyone else's

I'll get the rest of my pokedex info/picture later today :]

[WillRock]

I thought that Champion's Horizon was that.

Champions Horizon is Route 127

My Greatest Rival is the G/S Rival Battle Theme.

[Mirby]

Ah, I see.

Well is there really no R/B/Y Champion Battle mix?

[The Damned]

All remixers got to choose the songs they wanted to remix. If a song isn't remixed, that's just it: it's not being done.

[Mirby]

Eh, Rare Candy mixed it.

And there is the mix in B/W...

[prophetik music]

my song's page on the site has two artist names. can we adjust it to my current one?

thanks!

[Rozovian]

Noticing some ppl included their ocr profile for their external info. Might as well link all of ours.

Did fishy do the champion battle music? I can't remember...

[halc]

actually, i requested to have both and Cerrax hooked it up. i agree with Roz, everyone posted should get a link to their OCR profile.

[The Damned]

OK, it's sad, but I have to do it. Brand New Day and Cycling With the Wind are going to have to be cut. For now. Maybe they will appear as some sort of secret download you can get later... kind of like a Mew.

That's right, I like to twist things to my advantage using game mechanics-based logic. Don't like it? TOO BAD.

That means that we now have all tracks completed, and all files are finalized. That also means... that we're ready to hand it all over to the good people here at OCR and let them do all the dirty work for distributing it.

First page updated, thank you for being patient and I hope you enjoy it when it comes out.

[evktalo]

Congrats on getting it done!

[Chernabogue]

Congrats, man! I remember when this project was in early development phase, ans I'm happy to see it finished!
Can't wait to listen to it! ;)

[WillRock]

What? This is FINISHED? LIES.

Its going to be at least another 12 years XD

[The Damned]

Only if you try to do another track...

[Emunator]

Hey Rozo, I just noticed some clipping and weak samples in Spume, I think you ought to go back and fix that up! :tomatoface:


Nah seriously, I've heard a lot of songs from the project and they're pretty great quality. Major props to folks like Proto, Will, halc, chth, Stevo, Rozo, DA, and the alike for really taking this project to the next level, I can't wait for the final release! It's been a long time coming :-)

[halc]

congrats on finishing your album, Proto!!!!

After The Fabled Warriors Wind Volume, which albums get next priority before this? Even if I've never played the first 7 Pokemon games, I'm really excited based on what I heard from the preview track. I bet once I hear them, I'll be wishing another volume was in the works. I can't wait until at least February!

[The Damned]

I don't have access to the list of which albums are out next. I'm assuming anywhere from 1 to 36 others albums are ahead of this one.

Possibly 37.

[Mirby]

I'm guessing x.

We'll know what x is when this comes out. XD

[PROTO·DOME]

Thank you. I couldn't've done it without the help of all you wonderful people, submitting your tracks that I wrote.

The project director shouldn't troll the fans....too much.

Off the top of my head, here's what I can think of as wrapping soon or already wrapped:

* Teen Agent
* Mega Man X
* Sonic 1
* Pokemon
* Mega Man Grand Robat thingamajigger
* Zelda: Link's Awakening
* and possibly Super Mario 64 (but I have no idea of the status)

So, while you may not necessarily get it next WEEK, you probably won't have to wait more than about six months, but don't quote me on that. People know that this project is highly anticipated, and it will be out as soon as site staff can manage it.

Dammit, you're forcing us to use Gameshark to get the secret tracks.

Awesome job, guys. It took OC ReMix 7 years to get a Pokémon reMix on the site, and now a Pokémon project's about to be released. Awesome times, man. I feel like I can take on the entire Elite 4 with a Luvdisc.

As far as i'm aware, the only ones out of these which are at the same or higher level of completion as this are teen agent, mega man and links awakening. Sonic 1 still has a track or 2 to finish, mega man X is having a deadline pushed back, and super mairo 64 has a fair amount left from what I can tell. When any of the others are going to come out tho is anyones guess at this point afaik, but my guess is links awakening will probably be next.

Yeah, LA will probably be next, then WATER, then this.

Awesome. Link's Awakening is one of my favorite games ever, and I've been following the remix project for a while.

EDIT: Hmmm, it's been two days since I told Liontamer it's been done, but no reply. I hope he hasn't fallen into a mineshaft or been attacked by crows. Neither one of those ends well, from my experience.

I shouldn't worry, if you sent it he's probably got it.

Also, as links awakening is my fav game of all time, so you can only imagine my excitement to it coming out. Only regret is not being on it myself - style restrictions >: (

[Emunator]

Link's Awakening and Teen Agent are finished, the rest of the albums are close, but not finished yet. As long as you get your submission in soon (which it seems like you already have) I'm pretty sure you'd be 2nd or 3rd in line. The Megaman album still has a lot of tracks that need fixes before it'll be ready to release.

[Brandon Strader]

I'm not 100% sure on the dates but I think Teen Agent's been under review since March. So I wish you the best with Pokemon review but it may be a bit early to be getting excited there, especially with Link's Awakening up next. :-)

[prophetik music]

don't be worried if you don't hear from larry right away. he's pretty darn busy.

[The Damned]

Oh, I'm not. I was just thinking he was ignoring me or something.

Maybe he hates me.

I could understand why. I did kind of run over his entire family with an aircraft carrier. Long story short, they need to keep the keys to those things locked up better, because anyone can get a hold of them.

I did apologize after I got caught, so that should count for something, right?

[Mirby]

Was that before or after he was attacked by crows?

Oh wait, that was Bahamut. XD

We did get a wav of your stuff. There was some dark wizardry involved, but it's there.

I would still like it at some point, for the eventual CD release. Better to have proper wavs for it, I figure.

[prophetik music]

i think you gave it to me back in the dark ages, evan. that's how he got it.

this isnt directly related to the album, but I thought you guys might like to know that Takeshi Shudo, the writer for Pokemon, died Saturday morning, October 30.

Here's the article: http://tellycafe.com/general-news/takeshi-shudo-pokemon-and-minky-momo-creator-dies-at-61/

I think when I say that a large part of my childhood died with him I speak for everyone at least on this thread.

[The Damned]

Yeah.... it sucks that he died, sorry to hear that. But he had absolutely nothing to do with the games, which this album is strictly about, so saying this would be a "tribute" is just all kinds of wrong.

That's right. The games only had an indirect influence on his work. The Pokemon games spawned everything else, but his work was all the best scripts of the anime. Nevertheless, it's a tragic death.

By the way, Damned, have the higher authorities replied to you about the release?

i meant no harm or offense in saying that. he still helped to bring Pokemon to life, but in this context you are correct.

Yes, it's coming out, right after all the other albums are released. There are, what... four or five in the queue right now?
