Neead a team for a Pokemon Game

[A Forgotten Legend]

Here's a screen of my somewhat finished Chipset.  I have the entire lower layer done.  Now for the top layer!  (Some of the things are in the top layer, just not may.  For example, some parts of the buildings had to be top layer things)

Why not just have the protagonist get his pokemon the classic way? In otherwords, on his birthday he goes to see Professor Palm and choose from the three. However, I think this could be made more interesting if perhaps the team of the game attacks the town on his birthday, maybe kidnapping a loved one or even killing one. This would certainly give the hero a motive for his pokemon journey. However, why he would have to gather the eight badges to accomplish this is a mystery. Perhaps they have kidnapped someone in ransom for the badges or something, I dunno.

Are you guys sure you want to create your own sprites? Including genders, shinies, tiny menu, and new pokes that's over 5,400 sprites.

I've found a nice site with every single Diamond/Pearl sprite. Unlike Serebii, you can easily copy/paste these. I hope it helps.

That's a very pretty screen AFL.

We will use the D/P sprites from the Spriters resources, got every last of them there so that's no problem at all.(Already downloaded them so...)

But yeah 493 pokemon front and back poses, I'm not sure if I wanna add these new gender-sprites as well or the shinies but that's up to Lucas.
But it's great that the site got every pokemon's stats and attacks will probably make things easier when it comes down to those stuff. So that's great.

But about us making custom stuff was refered to the custom pokemon's we wanted to add in the game, but those will try to match the D/P sprites.

I will cover the menu sprites at least, shouldn't be to hard. And I can make most battle sprites. But I don't think I would be able to make the back poses, they always seem so different in the way they stand...

I Like Transforming sketches to 2d Pixel art.
Nothing set in stone right now, But I can probably help out reguardless.

[aboutasoandthis]

To be honest, I don't like them. They look too much like Sudowoodo (SP?). The starters should look more like animals, preferably ones that weren't done before.

Based on what you've done, how about a kangaroo or something?

[Prpl_Mage]

Well there is alreayd a kangaroo, and it's a grass type as well. Breloom, the evolvement of Shroomish, a mushroom kangaroo with a hat on his head. Grass-Fighting type.

I like the idea with the treant-tree. Sodowudo(sp...) was a rock type after all.

[aboutasoandthis]

Well whaddaya know? There is a grass kangaroo! lol

Forgot about Kangaskan too.

Would you mind if I tried to make it? I haven't really sprited in a while, plus I'm bored.

I've managed to make a basic outline of the little guy. I made the stems a little bigger. What do you think?

if you need any help, call the nerd with the obsession with the gastly trio (me)

How do you get the 1st pokemon?

How about, just for ONCE IN THE HISTORY OF ALL POKEMON GAMES (or at least for all i know) you get them the NORMAL WAY! just go to Prof. Palms office and pick one out. nice change of pace. if you want to make it fancy, set a battle with the opposing team right out side the door and after their defeat they also rescue the other starters of the other people that the team stole from, which is a good place to meet rival/friends etc.

Does the bad guys (like team rocket or team magma) are a important part of the game, like in R/S/E or they are just evil trainers, that doesnt afect the plot too much, like R/B/Y?

make them important!

Whats the name of the bad guys team?

Ideas for this:
Team Psycho. it''ll be interesting to see another non-primary-elemental team like galactic and rocket without the space theme

Team Shinebright: normal types. wow. this'll be cool. having a team using pokemon we usually think of in a good way, like chansey and clefable. this ideas actually kind of funny. and, Sycther can learn False Swipe, a good Hunting move. you should hand one of those boys over to the main antagonists

Team Spook:I like ghosts. heck, if there were an evil team like this, i would join. ghost pokemon are excellent for hunting out pokemon, since they have full immunity to some of the more common types, so this would likely be a more successful team

Who is the main rival?

the clasic boy-related-to-the-prof seems a tad too cliche, but it might work. or you could do the jesse-james-thing, where a small group of members from the opposing team are your rivals. i reccomend choice 2

Could someone answer those questions?

i can. or at least i can try

if you find this enough help, or just wanna be nice, make the character from the hero 4 file on the top right into a gym leader or other character named Vlad who uses Ghosts. Please? i reccomend Gengar, Mismagius (from D/P) Sableye, a Haunter, and a Weavile (as a little surprise at the end) preferably high level. i would just love it if you did this for me.

[Prpl_Mage]

Hmm, quite intresting actually. But just getting the pokemon in the start would be like in R/B/Y where you just get one to help the professor and his niece to complete the pokedex.
 
And the idea of someone stealing the pokemon's was used in S/G/C actually although not a Team but the rival.

And for the teams, well they are supposed to look evil... And an evil man with a Happiny/Chansey/Blitzey wouldn't look that evil now would he? Pretty good idea though.

And even though I can't speak for Lucas or anyone else. But we will not use the RTP charsets, but I bet we could put you in there somewhere if you just post a charset in D/P style.

And yes, I would say that Breloom is a kangaroo, can't you see it? The slim humanoid built, the long bent tail, the muscular legs and the small hands simply laying at its belly. It looks like a kangaroo to me and learn a lot of fighting kicks.

[A Forgotten Legend]

Do not steal.  I spent 2 days on this.  



Only for Lucas.  If you want to use it, please pm me, or e-mail me at joeafl@verizon.net


EDIT:  Hm... I actually like this idea:

Yeah ghost types would be enough evil for our team. Having a bad guy with a bunch of Gengars ect running around putting people to sleep while they do their mischief.
But I agree on the name, Team spook doesn't sound that evil to me. Just sounds like a bunch of kids going around and scaring people.
Something more ghostly like team phantom would fit better.

And that's an incredible chipset AFL, godlike.

And Mismagius is the evolvement of Misdreavus so it really is from D/P.

[Prpl_Mage]

And I had a go with the battlesprite as well, I think it turned out ok, maybe it sesembles Oddish to much though.

[A Forgotten Legend]

Wow.  Nice job Prpl_mage.

Also with the chipset, remember all I did was put it into the chipset, I didn't make the graphics.  

Although, I did have to edit a few things in there.  (auto-tile things like the water and the road)

EDIT:

What do you think?  It my first "combine a whole bunch of different things to make something new" image.  I mixed a few different bird pokemon, and then recolored it with some of the basic colors from a Torchic.  And the fire is from the G/S/C fire starter I can't spell the name of.


Here's another example of the chipset...


I have a town I made (actually, its the one in the screenshot).  I want to show it to you (Lucas).
