Programming language?

[SlothUS]

What was the Programming language used to make Pokemon3D? I'm an inspiring game dev and looking to do some stuff in the future! I'm not sure what to start out with, I have Very basic knowledge of Java, C#, and C++. I'm not sure what to learn right now and I want to know what this is made in! Not sure if this is the right place to post this but I need to ask! Keep up the great work devs!

It is made using VB.Net and XNA as far as I know, if you know C# you can make a game using C# and XNA first because it is really easy to use and C#/C++ is more used in game developing than VB.

I am programming in VB.Net
There's no difference in the compiled code between C# and VB.Net, so you can't say that one or the other is "more often" used in game programming, since you don't count the programming environment, but the end user experience, which will be compiled .Net code, which is the same for VB.Net and C#.
C++ on the other hand is completely different from VB.Net and C#.
XNA is a framework that provides easy access to most DirectX functions and also contains basic math functions that you need for game programming (vector, matrix, etc)

So, you recommend me to learn C# with the XNA library? I have a book with for the XNA lib. I also know with C# I can do stuff in unity. Also, are you saying VB.Net and C# are alike language wise?

They do the same, but I recommend C# because you already know the Syntax, VB.net and C# use different Syntax.
Its just a matter of what you like more.

C#

for (int i = 0; i < number; ++i) {
}

VB.Net

For i As Integer = 0 To number - 1
Next

Cool! I think I will go with C# and XNA, if I don't like that I will try out VB.Net but I think I will stick with C# Thanks for the help!
