Pokemon Shadow Chronicles

I am here to talk to all of you about one of the gutsiest fangames of all time. It is called Pokemon: Shadow Chronicles. We've been in very slow development since late 2005, and now we're back in full swing. Before any of you ask, I am NOT the head of this project, I am doing concept art for pokemon and designing new moves.

Below is a list of what this game will add:

A whole new region, code named Jahnt.
100+ New Pokemon.
Four new types (Love, Light, Chaos, Sound)
Ability to travel to Kanto and for the very first time, you will see Johto with updated graphics. (We're currently undecided on Sinnoh or Hoenn as far as I know.)
Shadow Pokemon

We have no in-game screens to show, but, we do have some maps.



New Bark Town.



Journieville, The starting area of the new region.



Concept art for Ashquirrel, The fire starter pokemon in Jahnt.

What we need as far as jobs go.

• Interior Mappers - People to map the inside of the houses, as I believe we're currently complete with exterior maps.
• Programmers with proficiency in Game Maker
• Pokemon Spriters - To sprite all the new ones and effectively downgrade the Sinnoh pokemon to the GBA generation.

I think I might have remembered you having something in your signature similar to this. This looks like it may be a successful fangame and I strongly suggest entering it in the NCFC.

It looks nice, though.

Wow, a real Pokemon fangame that didn't get canned in under a month? You really must have some great minds behind this.

Looking forward to it.

We already did a couple days ago.

pfft you're only making a pokémon game because I am

From here on out, I'm going to reveal something every day, akin to the SSBB update site.

I'm not sure that I am actually permitted to do this until I ask the head honcho, and I can't guarantee we won't run out of things to show you, but assuming the man in charge is cool with me doing this, then let's show it.

The following counts for the 7/15 update.



Here, we have Stonix. A pure rock type, and a pre-evolution to Onix.

Will you be acceptin pokemon ideas from other sources? because I have some good ideas!

Looks like something else.

The game looks very reliable, I remember seeing this a couple years ago. Looked promising then, and looks great now.

I was joking...

Also, that Onix prevo looks sorta like a rock ekans.

So you're having all the Pokemon and 100+ new ones? Well, I'm not gonna vote against ya since I'm a Pokemon fan.

You guys picked this up again?

I'm not good at going to 4 forums at a time, but I'll see if I can stop by every so often and help you guys sprite again.

Wasn't Sound one of the types too, or was I just imagining things

Uh. Seeing as how the Pokemon list is done, I don't think so. Unless we're modifying old pokemon (Jigglypuff, Loudred, Zubat, would come to mind as sound types)

7/17 Update:



It's Oak!

Professor Oak is one of the leading professors of Pokemon in the world. Recently, Oak went missing and nobody can figure out where he went. Can you find him?

EDIT: It turns out we are adding sound types.

Woah, this is awesome. An actual full fangame that is actually being worked on. I think I might die.

Also, I'm glad that the shadow pokemon doesn't take away from the actual pokemon aspect of catching as opposed to just battling. That's the one thing I missed in XD and Colosseum.

7/18 Update!



Updated type chart for new types.

x2 Damage for + attacks
x2 Critical-hit damage for lucky strikes
x1.5 Damage if the attack type matches the attacking pokemon's type
x.5 Damage for - attacks
x0 Damage for = attacks

wow this looks cool. Hopefully you guys finish this.

Wait, there's no in-game screenshots because you haven't created the actual game yet, or the game so far is not to be spoiled?

Are you going to be changing half of the original Pokémon cast to correspond to this .. ?

I mean, there've got to be like 20 existing Pokémon who would fit in Love type, like Luvdisc. And I don't see why it's strong against all of the earthly elements and weak against light.

IMO those types are WAY overpowered, especially Chaos. No weaknesses = absolute bull.
