History VideoGame / PokemonQuartz

* UnwinnableByMistake: You can be trapped behind a Strength boulder that blocks a narrow path by accident in Mt. Niveous' Cauldron.

* YouKeepUsingThatWord: Kacho and Vin keep using "paranoia" to apparently mean "circumstance" or "coincidence".

** The ''PlayerCharacter'' helps a bunch of drug dealers become this, by telling the police officer who happens to be there that it's [[BlatantLies a pet shop.]] This is ''[[BrokenAesop despite]]'' all the {{Anvilicious}} anti-drug messages earlier in the game.
** Possibly Amber as well, despite being responsible for releasing Kaosune to the surface and even felt remorse for doing so. And yet no one is forcing her to be responsible for (read: face said chaos Pokémon) and expects the protagonist to do so instead. ([[ButThouMust And no, you don't have a choice.]])

* ArtisticLicenseEngineering: The workman's approach for dealing with an unstable cave floor is ''gluing'' it back together.

* ArtisticLicenceEngineering: The workman's approach for dealing with an unstable cave floor is ''gluing'' it back together.

** There's also a rather clever one referring to the [[UrbanLegendOfZelda Mew truck rumor]].

* WhyDidItHaveToBeSnakes: Or upside-down rats in this case. Baro doesn't take Severs' presence well - he's chased by one, and at another point they ransacked his [[Manga/DoctorSlump Arale]] manga collection.

Another [[GameMod hack]] of ''{{VideoGame/Pokemon Ruby|And Sapphire}}'', released by the author as a patch file intended to be played by [[UsefulNotes/{{Emulation}} VisualBoyAdvance]] users who already owned the ''Ruby'' cartridge and dumped its ROM image.

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 ''Pokémon'' games. ''Quartz'' replaces all names and graphics of traditional Pokémon with new characters and creatures, although some of the changes are only cosmetic and don't 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 applied to a clean image of an authentic ''Ruby'' cartridge.

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

* AdultsAreUseless: They pretty much handed ''all'' the responsibility of calming the chaos gods to the teenage protagonist, one of them even mocking the player character for being a fool [[ButThouMust despite not given a choice]] in the first place.
* AerithAndBob:
** All of the "Exorcist"-class trainers have names of Chinese or Korean origin, like Sung or Lao. Then you enter the desert and come across "Exorcist Don Jose".
** It's the other way around among Baro's friends. They all have Spanish names, except for "Kyoufu Kawa", the Lord of Corna Castle.
* AlwaysSomeoneBetter: No matter how hellishly difficult the gym leaders are, no matter how weak his blind psychic mouse is, Ramon will always defeat them before the player, until the player reaches Victory Road at least.
* ArtificialStupidity: One of the Ambar admins sometimes uses Max Revive when ''none of his Pokémon have fainted yet.''

** Let's not forget the X-treme snowboarders who can perpetually ski on flat ground and can turn perfect 90 degrees.

* BearsAreBadNews: Babos and Osoe, who will try to seduce their opponent, despite being [[GrotesqueGallery ugly as hell]].

* BilingualBonus: For ANYTHING [[AuthorAvatar Baro]] says about the Sever, really. Most of the dialogue can only be truly understood if you mentally untranslate it back to the Spanish it was originally conceived as.

** Benito the Poison gym leader --> [[{{Determinator}} Facade]][[note]](deals more damage if the user is poisoned/burned/paralyzed)[[/note]].

** Danny the Dragon gym leader --> [[StatusBuff Calm Mind]][[note]](Dragon-type moves are considered Special in Gen III, and Calm Mind boosts the user's Special Attack and Special Defense. You can pretty much wall her ''if only Calm Mind had been accessible before her fight'')[[/note]].

* ChainOfDeals: There will be [=NPCs=] hidden around Corna that will trade an item you have for another (Lava Cookie>Hell Mushes>Dragon Wing>Dragon Egg>Star Jewel), or in case of the Star Jewel, put the Dragon Egg in the Star Temple. A scientist needs the Star Jewel to hatch an egg containing a legendary Pokemon Karendi.
* CharacterFilibuster: Several characters in Pinkranite go out of their way to rant about how bad the school system is and about the dangers of drugs. FOR NO REASON WHATSOEVER.
* CloudCuckooLander: The Imakuni Trainer Class (yes, there were a lot of them), who stand out a lot in contrast to the [[{{Jerkass}} rest]] [[MemeticMolester of]] [[StalkerWithACrush the population]].

** Some Pokémon as well, for example the Energiz and Nole lines.
* CrapsackWorld: Even discounting all the fan-made memes, life in Corna is genuinely pretty crummy. The education system is abysmal and many students leave school when they're 16, arsonists are a common threat, Gym Leaders Faustus is free to abuse his position and be evil, and stealing, smuggling and drug peddling are very common. Characters tend to be pretty rude or actively hostile for no reason.
* DisproportionateRetribution: 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.
* EgocentricTeamNaming: Band Ambar, where Ambar [[BilingualBonus is Spanish]] for Amber, the leader of said band.

* EverythingsBetterWithDinosaurs: Averted. The game does feature enough Dragon-types, but they're just as weird and/or ugly as most other {{mons}}. Tyradino may or may not be a borderline case, though. While it is pretty screwed up and an abomination of biology, it still seems to be pretty useful and is still a bloodthirsty T-Rex; how the hell do you screw that up?
* EvilIsNotAToy: Amber realized that she cannot mess with the power of Chaos during her VillainousBreakdown.

* GenderBlenderName: Danny, the seventh Gym Leader of Corna, is actually a girl.
** Although Danny could be short for Danielle or Daniela.
* {{Gonk}}: The new Pokémon designs could be described as this...except maybe Plug-oink, which is friggin' adorable.

* HeroicMime: Averted. Sometimes "(Player Name):" appears in the text box to show that the PlayerCharacter is the one doing the talking.

** The ''PlayerCharacter'' helps a bunch of drug dealers become this, by telling the police officer who happens to be there that it's [[BlatantLies a pet shop.]] This is ''[[BrokenAesop despite]]'' all the {{Anvilicious}} anti-drug messages earlier in the game...

And yet no one is forcing her to be responsible for (read:face said chaos Pokémon) and expects the protagonist to do so instead. ([[ButThouMust And no, you don't have a choice.]])

* OlderThanTheyLook: While Baro changed most if not all the lines in the Pokénav (or rather Pokébae in this game) to suit his characters, he overlooked one, making the transition of the old couple trainer class to a younger couple really obvious. [[http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d39/yuoaman/Quartz%20Play/Quartz%20Bonus%20and%20Abominations/timetravel.png Married for 50 years indeed.]]

* RougeAnglesOfSatin: Everywhere. For example the word heart is constantly referred as "hearth" for some reason.
* ShoutOut:

** There's also a ShoutOut to ''[[VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaMajorasMask Majora's Mask]]'' in the graveyard area: one of the ninjas there says "Master, you called! ... ... What are you?!" when he challenges you; his name is Garo; and after you defeat him and talk again, he says "To die without leaving a corpse... That is the way of us Garo." He doesn't actually disappear, though.

** Judoka [[Manga/RanmaOneHalf Ranma]] can be fought in Mt. Niveous. Her design however alludes to Akane Tendo.
* StalkerWithACrush: The opposite-gender rival follows the player around and shamelessly proclaim their love to them.

* SuddenlyShouting: A trainer in Danny's Gym:" If you get to Danny, you should be prepared, she's hundred times better than me, AND YOU HAVE TO MULTIPLY THAT BY TWO!!!"
* TakeThat:

** At one point he subtly showed his dislike for Pikachu in one of the Dex entries, calling it the ugliest Pokémon that ever existed.

* TotallyRadical: Kacho & Vin, being owners of the "sk8" shop and all.
* UnwinnableByMistake: You can be trapped behind a Strength boulder that blocks a narrow path by accident in Mt. Niveous' Cauldron.

* CrapsackWorld: Even discounting all the fan-made memes, life in Corna is genuinely pretty crummy. The education system is abysmal and many students leave school when they're 16, arsonists are a common threat, Gym Leaders Faustus is free to abuse his position and be evil, and stealing and smuggling are very common.

* CrapsackWorld:

* BearsAreBadNews:
** Babos and Osoe, who will try to seduce their opponent, despite being [[GrotesqueGallery ugly as hell]].

* GenderBlenderName: Danny, the seventh Gym Leader of Corna, is actually a girl.

* HaveAGayOldTime: Some of ''Quartz''[='s=] [=NPCs=] use phrases that are... technically correct, but not in common usage, like one defeated villain's reference to their plans being sent to the WC ("water closet", in other words the toilet).

** In the area that [[SarcasmMode 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}}.

ChainOfDeals: There will be NPCs hidden around Corna that will trade an item you have for another (Lava Cookie>Hell Mushes>Dragon Wing>Dragon Egg>Star Jewel), or in case of the Star Jewel, put the Dragon Egg in the Star Temple. A scientist needs the Star Jewel to hatch an egg containing a legendary Pokemon Karendi.

* AdaptationalBadass: While Gyarados and Milotic are badass enough, ''Quartz'' changes them respectively into to Thundran [[note]](Electric/Dragon type, with Levitate {negating its Ground weakness}, the ability to learn many moves, and an absurdly high Attack stat)[[/note]] and Freech [[note]](Ice/Dragon typing, has Speed Boost)[[/note]], two of the most powerful Pokémon in ''Quartz''.

SuddenlyShouting: A trainer in Danny's Gym:" If you get to Danny, you should be prepared, she's hundred times better than me, AND YOU HAVE TO MULTIPLY THAT BY TWO!!!"

* [[WhyDidItHaveToBeSnakes Why Did It Have To Be Upside-Down Rats]]: Baro doesn't take Severs' presence well - he's chased by one, and at another point they ransacked his [[Manga/DoctorSlump Arale]] manga collection.

* UncannyValley: 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 [[EnsembleDarkhorse Plug-oink]].

* [[EvilIsNotAToy Chaos Is Not A Toy]]: Amber realized this during her VillainousBreakdown.
-->'''Amber:''' No, it's all my fault, I shouldn't paly with gran forces...

* StalkerWithACrush: The rival.

* TookALevelInBadass: While Gyarados and Milotic are badass enough, ''Quartz'' changes them respectively into to Thundran [[note]](Electric/Dragon type, with Levitate {negating its Ground weakness}, the ability to learn many moves, and an absurdly high Attack stat)[[/note]] and Freech [[note]](Ice/Dragon typing, has Speed Boost)[[/note]], two of the most powerful Pokémon in ''Quartz''.

* ViolationOfCommonSense: Frequently.

* BasementDweller: Or as Yuoaman put it, children in Corna are banished to the basement.

* ArtificialStupidity: One of the Ambar admins sometimes uses Max Revive when ''none of his Pokemon has fainted yet.''

** Band Ambar's plan to power up Electric Pokemon by inflating the sun, one of the methods includes using a ''broken ghost scope''. This is even more ridiculous than Team Magma trying to increase landmass by stuffing a volcano with rocket fuel at the ''center'' of a region.

* BonusBoss: Arturo, [[spoiler:leader of the (unofficial) ninth gym.]]
* CarryingTheAntidote: Some of the Gym Leaders give away [=TMs=] that can counter their type specialties:

** Benito the Poison gym leader --> [[{{Determinator}} Facade]][[note]]deals more damage if the user is poisoned/burned/paralyzed[[/note]].

** Danny the Dragon gym leader --> [[StatusBuff Calm Mind]][[note]]Dragon-type moves are considered Special in Gen III and Calm Mind boosts the user's Special Attack and Special Defense. You can pretty much wall her ''if only Calm Mind had been accessible before her fight''[[/note]].

--> '''Amber:''' No, it's all my fault, I shouldn't paly with gran forces...

* ContinuityNod: [=HM01=] is obtained in this game from the same character that gave it to you in [[VideoGame/PokemonRedAndBlue the first generation]].

** Some Pokemon as well, for example the Energiz and Nole lines.

* {{Emo}}: All trainers in the Quartztower Gym, including the gym leader herself.

* GenderBlenderName: Danny, the seventh Gym Leader of Corna is actually a girl.
* {{Gonk}}: The new Pokemon designs could be described as this...except maybe Plug-oink, which is friggin' adorable.
* HaveAGayOldTime: Some of Quartz's [=NPC=]s use phrases that are... technically correct, but not in common usage, like one defeated villain's reference to their plans being sent to the WC ("water closet," in other words the toilet).

* IncrediblyLamePun: Team Ambar. [[DontExplainTheJoke It's a combination of "Amber," the leader's name, and "Baro."]]
** Or maybe he just forgot to translate the name of the team, since amber is ambar in spanish.
* InformedDeformity: According to the dex entries, Mongostre(Corna's Armaldo) is supposed to be the ugliest Pokemon to ever exist. Sure it looks monstrous, but there are others who look uglier than it, ''especially'' the Babos line.

** Possibly Amber as well, despite being responsible releasing Kaosune to the surface and even felt remorse for doing so. And yet no one is forcing her to be responsible for (read:face said chaos Pokemon) and expects the protagonist to do so instead. And ([[ButThouMust no, you don't have a choice]]).

* Really700YearsOld: Kyoufu Kawa's dialogue in Quartztower Town implies this:

* RidiculouslyCuteCritter: All of the small rounded birds(there are many of them).

** One of the trainers you battle is named [[Music/{{Blink 182}} Travis]], and says "[[http://lparchive.org/Pokemon-Quartz/Update%2016/45-pkquartzfull_44.png Take Off Your Pants and Jacket]]" and "[[http://lparchive.org/Pokemon-Quartz/Update%2016/49-pkquartzfull_49.png All the Small Things]]."

** A swimmer refers to a "nice [[VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaALinkToThePast turtle rock dungeon]]."
** There is a Moleman named "Montgomery." Yes, a [[VideoGame/SuperMarioWorld Monty Mole]].

** An NPC in Seablue wonders how evil is the person who created Pokémon Contests. "Attack to... the air? Show... cuteness? What about PKMN battles?"
** At one point he subtly showed his dislike for Pikachu in one of the Dex entries, calling it the ugliest Pokemon that ever existed.

** A swimmer refers to a "nice [[VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaALinkToThePast turtle rock dungeon]]".
** There is a Moleman named "Montgomery". Yes, a [[VideoGame/SuperMarioWorld Monty Mole]].

** Baro, the creator, is an atheist. Not just any atheist, either, but a textbook HollywoodAtheist 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.

** At one point he subtly showed his dislike for Pikachu in one of the Dex entries, calling it the ugliest Pokemon ever existed.
** Baro's casual racism toward the Jewish is encapsulated in the form of the molemen.
