Pokemon Coal, Rust, and Blitz versions, official topic- but i need help!

This is a veryWIP game that is, obviously, a Pokemon fangame. The demo is not quite ready yet, I'm having a few issues with encounters, day/night, etc.
i do have some screens, though!

NEW STARTER 1: MARIMOSS



NEW STARTER 2: PYRECOATL



NEW STARTER 3: RAYORD



Now, I'm just going to say that I didn't try at all on those sprites. However, I don't intend to keep them like that. These are only placeholders, because I'm not that good of a spriter.

other screens:

Alloy Town at night


Standard battle screen


Plumb Desert


Route 2- with a trainer


I just took those, and I don't know why they're at night. That's one of the issues with the demo.


Right now, I'm just trying to get the thing functioning correctly; making the very bare bones of the region, then slowly fleshing things out.

things I need in order of importance (more details will be given if desired):

Spriters!!!

-Front and back sprites for the 107 new pokemon
--Fuzzy
--Fez
--YForce 0X

-trainer battle sprites (player and enemy) for the new trainer types(number of is tba)

-Overworld sprites- standard four directions, plus bikes, fishing, running, etc. (mostly for the PC, but others may be needed)

-Tilesets- I may not need this, unless I need custom buildings/terrain


Musicians!!

-Remixes- mainly for, say, the battle theme; songs that are found in all the games for the most part

-New songs!- I also want some originality to this, so special trainers (gym leaders, etc.) and the towns will all have their own songs
--shroomguy

-SFX- Mainly for pokemon cries, but may need others as well


Ideas!

-New pokemon designs- I won't need many of these, but if I get stuck this will make it easier on me

-storyline events- basic storyline things I can handle myself; but specific details are always welcome

-Features- nothing too fancy-schmancy, but little things that wouldn't require a bazillion hours of programming are fine

-events- these are probably best kept secret, so pm these to me. Want a surfing pikachu hidden somewhere? Ask away!


the game has all the features of RSE; however, it also has the physical/special split, of DPPt. It does not have all of the DPPt moves, and some of the ones that are in have been slightly modified for the time being. When I get around to it, the ones that have been left out or changed (if the changes prove to be unpopular or less productive) will be fixed.
It will also feature two main regions, Ifrenn and Lyriah; however, expansions featuring Hoenn, Johto, Kanto, and Sinnoh can be expected after the main game is finished.
as well, it supports online battles


As a note: i have the capabilities to remove EVs from the game- but I won't. EV's will be in as normal, but after the game is beaten, an EV customizer will be available in-game.
also note: it is possible to import Pokemon from an RSE .sav file.

Again, for clarity:
Those are placeholder sprites. They are not meant to look good OR be used in the final game. I just need something to use as a reference until I get them sprited

And there are no limits to how many people can work together in each category, so keep the help coming.

Also: as a favor to those who participated in this topic, they will be the gym/elite four people

This looks nice, I'd be interested in spriting for this Pip!

Any category, or are you going to be a general spriter?

I think I'd do best working on pokemon sprites, I don't have much experience making overworld sprites.

Aside from the OMG TEH BESHT GAME EVAH!!1 sprites you used, this looks really cool. However, I just hope you take responsibility for the fact that it's going to be a freaking huge undertaking. Games like this almost never get finished; on the other hand, they never get as far as you seem to have gotten as of yet either, so that's a good sign. ;D
Keep at it! I'll be watching this topic because I <3 the idea of a Pokemon fangame for some reason.

well, once I get the maps done, most of the rest will fall into place easily

hard part, though, is setting the pokemon/trainer levels and balancing movesets

But I am fully prepared for this

So I'm guessing you have some designs for the pokemon, can I see them?

The sprites above are the basic appearances of each one, but in a bit I'll try to scan drawings of them

Also I'd recommend posting this at a site like Pokecommunity, you'd probally get some help the pretty quickly.

So is this 3 versions or 1 game?

Three versions, but the actual split will occur last

I'll do some spriting. just throw me in as pokemon for now, but Imgiht do some overworld later.

Fuzzy's done a Marimoss sprite! It should be in the first post, replacing the old one.

It's not there.

Awwwww...! : D

refresh a few times, maybe clear your cache

As for the demo, expect it in a week or two after I finish the second city.

Oh I see it now, shouldn't the sprite be stretched with the window?

nah, that's how the engine does it

explain... gm doesn't have a sav reader last time I checked

it's not being made in game maker, it's RMXP
