Welcome to the region of Tandor, where warm breezes sweep through quiet towns and waves lap at sandy beaches. Tandor is known, among other things, for its robust and slightly different Gym Challenge, where Pokemon trainers travel the region to collect six gym badges and compete in the Tandor Regional tournament, held once a year. This tournament, one of the longest-running in modern Pokemon history, is also renowned as being one of the most difficult. The honor of being Champion is one of the most sought-after in the Pokemon world.

And, you? You weren't interested in all that at first-- you're just a thirteen-year-old kid leading a thirteen-year-old life. After your mother Lucille died ten years ago in a meltdown at a nuclear power plant, your father (an experienced Pokemon Ranger) left you with your great-aunt and departed to travel the region. But your Aunt can't support you any longer, and so you're forced to leave home. Fortunately for you, opportunity.

Professor Bamb'o, regional expert on Pokemon elements, has been looking for a trainer assistant to travel the region and gather specimens of the varied wildlife. You, along with an eleven-year-old named Theo that you've known for most of your life, step up to the challenge. After receiving your starter Pokemon, you head towards your first gym badge in Nowtoch town, and your first steps exploring the Tandor region.

Things aren't as sunny as they first seem, though. Just when everything regarding the accident ten years ago in which you lost your mother seemed certain, new developments begin to emerge. A new power plant is contracted to be built over the site of the old one. Your father begins acting strangely, journeying to the far areas of the region and questioning whether your mother really is dead. And amidst all the turmoil, it seems that a great impending disaster is looming over Tandor...

It seems you may be in for more than you bargained for.

What can make things even more special? Well, today is also Uranium's first year birthday! Yes, 5th of October of 2008 I opened rmxp and clicked in the new project button, here it is xD. Well, I know you all only want to play the game and have some fun so here a few things I'd like you to do for me...


-Report any bugs you find posting here.
-Don't desencrypt it for gods sake.
-If there is any problem in your playthrough, feel free to ask here.
-Have loads of fun.
-Appreciate all the custom pokémon, music and tiles =].


Yes, thats it, also, I think that is a really stable version of the game, you won't have problems playing through it...

Oh my god, im so happy, Pokemon Uranium is finally in the showcase! Plz comment, rate and if you want to help with anything plz POST here!

[blaster395]

It looks amazing. but all the pokemon screenshots are mostly four legged eevee like things.

[amarj3]

maps look brilliant, I suggest you add some dragon types etc...make it even for most type of pokemon

[TeddiursaFan]

Your pokemon either look pretty good (ones like metalynx) or needs more improvement (ones like zubread). One of your buildings in the last town looks blurry, and I think there should be a third starter evolution because either the first starters would have higher stats or the last evos would be a lot weaker.

[amarj3]

yeah there should definitley be a thrid evo of the starters.....if not it just wone be right and they would be weaker than other pokemon

No, the stat growing rate is bigger to them, so they get more stats each level. ;p

Teddiursa: Zubread and some others are old sprites, ill fix them later (actually it was my second scratxh)

[Mitchman]

Wait your telling me at a random poimt the player stops and says those stuff? I dont really believe it much cause it looks kinda copy pasted.

[~JV~]

[Mitchman]

Also i have some news for you guys that dont post, the plot is going to change drastically, now its alot more interesting and original, the only thing i can tell you is that it now will involve a nuclear plant, a new type of pokemon and the balance of the enviroment.
Please i need some comments in the new fakemon, like suggestions on what to change, what you want to see in the future and etc.

[Gamebuilder336]

The game is coming along nicely. Your fakemon are good, but the outline on the backsprites needs to be fixed.

Example:

[~JV~]

i know that, but this problem is already solved, Zephyrplusle (my spriter) had done them in 80x80 so i had to resize them to 124x124. But now we already have the sprites in the correct size =p

Off topic: you have cool rotom forms in your sig ^^

[ComedyQuest]

game looks cool but the title sounds like Urin lol

[<~F.M.P~>]

Nice job! I really like the new backpics too ^^, cant wait to see more on the game!

[TeddiursaFan]

The pokemon are coming along. My favorite of the new ones you added is owten. Keep up the good work!

[O.G. Duke]

Alright, I done the titlescreen you request.
This titlescreen took me a lot of time to make because I need to redraw and colour the starter pokemon and place them in the titlescreen.

Thanks for the comment and congratulatios, also, ive sent you a VM.

[PoKéMaKeR]

Thanks for the comment and congratulatios, also, ive sent you a VM.

It looks good overall!
Like the fakemons although I think the reshaded ones from zubread still need some more reshading, I don't know why but they seem kinda not good shaded :\
Found some typoos in your screens 2:

3th screen you've written "make the test", but it has to be "take the test"
Question 4 screen you need to use to instead of ot :P
Question 5 screen "finnaly" => finally
And the one below that you've used ill but it needs to be I'll ;)

Anyway Good luck on this game!!

I'm not from the US or UK either but oh well I manage ;)
Btw I didn't meant the Pokebacks or something (with the shading issue)
But I only meant Zubread, Eletux and Electruxo, I don't know why but the shading doesn't feel good (sorry for being so pessimistic)
Oh and the giraffe thingy, you should re-do that one aswell!

Good luck

Hey guys, i have a good surprise for you, a new spriter is working in our team. His name is Zorin, if you want to check one of his works, just go to the pixel art forum. His first fakemon will be revealed soon =p.
http://i33.tinypic.com/a4y0m1.png

[~JV~]

BUMP (thread was in 2nd page), hey guys, I want comments! Also, what do you want for the next update? (the beggining video will be there for sure)

[O.G. Duke]

I've been waiting for it.
We want update. For sure.

[~JV~]

Ok, ill explain what is mising, I already have all things working till the first gym (pokemons, trainers, itens, story/plot etc), the only thing is missing is the male hero front sprite and the professor OW and sprite, which are being made by my spriter. Just wait till this is done and everyone will get what they want =]. Also , since I've delayed the video update, ill reveal the first Zorin's fakemon for Uranium:

FARTOG (water/poison)

http://i33.tinypic.com/2wohaqd.png

This pokemon is rarely seen walking because of its big weight.
They are also found in the bottom of lakes.

note: Zorin has already done fartog icon and back and also one of his two evolutions =] (the final evo is really awesome)

[ZephyrPlusle]

Hello, hordes of doting Uranium fans! |D I'm Zephyr, spriter and plot doctor, and I haven't posted in this thread up until now. But this time, I will! Because I have something nifty for all of you:

Support bars! Show your enthusiasm for this rapidly developing project by putting one of these nifty, stylish 88x31 buttons in your signature, each featuring the icon of one of the starters! To put it in your sig, remove the asterisks in the code area.

And some news:

We're going to be releasing a promotional video in a little bit that shows the beginning steps of the game! I've seen it and it's really cool. We're working on finalizing the sprites, especially the trainer sprites and overworlds. If you are compelled to help out we would appreciate it a lot. We also need scripters and musicians, too. Trust me, you won't regret it!

[<~F.M.P~>]

Those are nice I really like them...hopefully others will to.

[~JV~]

The video update is coming out soon! Its probably coming out today! It will also include some awesome surprises ^^. Also, help supporting the game by adding these small buttons made by ZP, they won't take much space from your sig.

~Update~

Hehe, I have finnaly finished to make the video I promisid to show you guys ^^. There is alot of new things to the game now! Better graphics were added, new pokemon will be revealed and the coolest part is that now PU has a YouTube channel! And the first video I'll show you guys is of the beggining of the game itself. Have fun~

What has changed:
~New thread layout.
~Alot of custom made graphics added to the game.
~A video of the game.
~New pokemon.
~Some extra features/minigames


~New Graphics~

I made these graphics specially for the game some days ago, i hope you like them. They include (Bag interface, Battle interface, Pokemon Selection interface and also the Pokedex interface).

Bag Screen~
(Also I've recolored the bag)

~New Pokemon~

I know you were already presented to Fartog, but now you'll know his two awesome evolutions!

015- FARTOG [WATER/POISON]
http://i33.tinypic.com/2wohaqd.png
FARTOG is rarely seen walking because of its big weight. They are also found in the bottom of lakes.

016- FOLEROG [WATER/POISON]
http://i37.tinypic.com/2wg8ylx.png
FOLEROGs can't swim, so they start living in grasslands next to rivers and lakes.

017- BLUBELROGS [WATER/POISON]
http://i35.tinypic.com/15qtdaw.png
BLUBELROGs are the masters of the calm water, they normally live together in the bottom of lakes or around them.


~Future Features~

In next updates The Pokemon Uranium team will show you:

-A pokemon racing championship...
-A new hotel system, where you can choose furniture etc...
-More in game videos of the first gym etc...

Well thats all for now, i hope you liked this update and I also hope that you start to look PU as a serious game and not as regular/below average game ^^. Also, if there is any grammar error in the video, plz tell me![/css-div][/css-div]

[Zorin]

The video looks great JV! The professor sprite looks really good.

[DamianLeonhart]

In the video, on of the times the aunt spoke, she says, "i ...". It should be' "I ...". The ... is because I really did not pay enough attention to catch what was being said as much as if it was written correctly. I did not see any other errors though. It is a good video, I however do not like how you have to keep going between the houses (there, back, there, back, try to leave, stopped). Maybe you should have him venture to the next town then have the professor call him back. You should sprite up a Wii, so your character could have one.

[~JV~]

Thanks for the comments guys ^^, but i really expexted more criticizing from everyone for this update. =/. Cmon tell me what you liked and what I need to change...

[O.G. Duke]

To be honest, I don't like the battle interface.
The colour is too bright and not match.
I prefer the FR/LG's.
Sorry for the critique....

[~JV~]

are you talking about the textbox(bottom) or the battle ones? Also, thx for pointing out ;D

[~Undefined~]

The music was horribly out of sinc in the video. (not that that matters if its ok in the actual game)
I really love the fakemons. ^^
It's great to have a pure flying Pokemon, Nintendo never made one. I think Grozard and Trelard should be dragon / ground (maybe not Grozard)
I also agree with what a couple of people said before; that you should make a third evolution for the starters. It's tradition isn't it? If you do that, I would put the new fire starter in between Flager and Inflagetah (Hope I spelled that right) because Inflagetah looks like a third stage evo, and there is too much difference between Flager and Inflagetah.

Great game, I love it ^^
~Undefined~

[~JV~]

Hey guys, sry for not being on for some time, Im in France with some friends, so im spending my time with them. In some days I will be back.

~Unedfined~: The music is out of sync because of the recording software that really sucks and makes everything lag. Im glad you liked the fakemon and Ill think about adding the first evolution stage for the starters =].

[Nytkoi]

The game looks like it is progressing quickly, but for some reason the Flager sprite looks a little blurry. Is it in .JPEG? Anyways that dosen't matter. The maps are averege, aswell. Goodluck on this.

[?Alistair?]

It's great to have a pure flying Pokemon, Nintendo never made one.

I presume you don't plan on including the D/P move Roost then? Since then the pokemon would have no type. This is the reason there is no pure Flying type in D/P and possibly R/S/E.

[Wichu]

It's actually probably because a pure Flying type would be implied to be in the air all the time. All existing Flying types have a second type, because none of them are permanently in the air.

And it is possible to have a pure Flying type, through the use of Color Change, and Arceus's Sky Plate. Neither Kecleon or Arceus learn Roost, though - however, you could use Smeargle to Skill Swap Color Change, then use Roost. It will change to ??? type - the same as the attack Curse.

This would be a lot of effort though, to use a move which is used primarily in a competitive online environment (where Arceus is clearly not allowed). Also, i'm positive the games would not allow this, so Roost probably has limits.

[ZephyrPlusle]

...Haha, you guys, this is an intelligent discussion but it's rather off-topic, y'know, as this is a fangame topic and all. C: As far as I know, we don't have plans to implement all the new D/P attacks into the game just yet, but if we did we would probably just eliminate the "roost-removes-Flying-type" thing and just have it recover. A little bit broken, maybe, but it's the price we pay for not screwing the game up.

Nytkoi: The Flager sprite is actually over the 64x64 limit; I will be resizing it so that it doesn't blur in the future.

These comments and criticisms help! :3 We love to hear your input on what you'd like to see in this game.

[?Alistair?]

Oop, sorry for off topicness >.< I must say that I really like the recoloured Pokedex and Bag screens - it has inspired me to start customising my game - so good job (Y)

Also love the desing of the grass starters, and I like that you've gone for 2 stages rather then the normal 3 stage evolution of most fan games.

[~JV~]

Thx for pointing this out, but as ZP said, the sprite will be resized =p. Also, Ive only showed a few maps, I have alot better ones in my arsenal ^^.

Ive made a pure flying poekmon, because I don't see the point of making a normal/flying one, since normal is kind of typeless/neutral type. And about the roost thing, as ZP posted, if i ever make it, it will be just a recover move.

Its good to see you liked them and I'm also glad you liked the 2 stages starters idea. Since you will have alot of option of pokemon to catch at the start, i think there is no problem having it.


Well as you all guys see, I'm back! And also im pretty happy to see that there were alot of posts and also a really intelligent discussion here. I'm so happy that i decided to show you guys the full map of the Burole Town (I'm also posting this to see if you prefer this kind of mapping since some people said the other maps were just average):

http://i36.tinypic.com/35iqb1e.png

(Here is a surprise, the gym will be in a cave! Start guessing what kind of pokemon the gym leader will use.)

[~Undefined~]

(Here is a surprise, the gym will be in a cave! Start guessing what kind of pokemon the gym leader will use.)
Well I assume it'll be rock (most likely), ground, or even possibly steel (probably not)
I love the town by the way, and the idea of a gym in a cave. ^^

[~JV~]

Hey guys I'm just posting here to tell you that my name isn't JV12345 anymore its now ~JV~ .

Also, I've started thinking of some custom tiles and palletes for the tileset =0. Keep hooked on and guessing the new gym pokemon type.
TIP: Its not any of the types ~Undefined~ guessed :D.

[Saidai No Soba-Ya]

i see :P
good work JV
wat is the type?
any of my new types?

[~JV~]

i see :P
good work JV
wat is the type?
any of my new types?

nonono xD!

Here is another tip: This gym is a triple type gym and one of them is ground! Can you guys guess what are the other two types? Neither of them are rock. Who answer correctly will get to see the gym and some other maps before anyone else! ^^


Also zephyr and I are starting to make some custom tiles and recolors for Uranium ;p. Some of them were already put ingame.

You are good at guessing ;p, water and ground are correct, but grass isn't. Who can guess the last type correctly?
Ill edit this post in some mins to show you guys a small update.

~Small Update~

[~Undefined~]

Water, Ground, and Fire. *crosses fingers*

[~JV~]

Everyone is incorrect -_-. Cmon, what could be in a cave other than ground pokemon,rock pokemon,ice pokemon and water pokemon?

[Ultimo Spriter]

is it ground,water,flying

[Saidai No Soba-Ya]

ooo i know dragon?
or it could be psychic or fighting :D or dark or ghost

Really cool entry OG ^^.

~Posts till next update: 13 Wait, you mean you require that many praises/filler posts before updating? How lame...

First, i need to explain some details about the game. It will have a new region ...kinda expected., and also new pokemon (around 60+ new poke Great! No claims of 493+>100 fakes...).

The Tandor So what's the derivation? region was famous for its cliffs and mountains even though being an archipelago ...then it surely has volcanoes, right? Maybe even active ones.... Between the biggest island and one medium sized island, Comma Splice used to exist a fluctuating Nuclear plant What's a 'fluctuating nuclear plant'? You mean like it has meltdowns, fixes itself, has another meltdown, fixes itself,a nd the cylce goes on?. 10 years before you start your journey, this plant was destroyed by a huge and strange green explosion Aliens?. Some of the survivors said that before the explosion the had seen a pokemon, a different one...I don't like where this is going.
Now in the present days this "nuclear" pokemon Got a name? is back and it has started to spread his "Uranium dna" ...where on the DNA molecule does the Uranium go? Or is that just a cool name and little else? around the isles. The normal pokemon were easily cured Cured of what? You haven't mentioned any ailment yet..., because the scientists created an antidote but the problem is that he has already awekened How? Did he need a Crimson Flute? and infected Aotius That name is awful. It can't possibly have any source...surely you could come up with something not so fantastic., the Yang pokemon and Mutions This one is not exempted from the Lame Name Edict? I feel bad for it...not that calling it Omegeon or Yinmega is any better., the Yin pokemon. You seriously couldn't avoid light and dark? I really think there are more possibilities out there... They are both now controlled by the mysterious one Since when did people think it was alright to have mind controlling in pkmn? It's not...or else there will be a Psychic type attack that can do that to a foe and annihilate any pkmn in any battle..
Okay, sooooo...apparently there's a lack of stasis between yin and yang. So then...
Now here you come in the story I've already been here, but thanks for recognising me.. Your mother was working in the plant in the day of the explosion and she has disappeared Of course. since that day and your father, a pokemon breeder, went on a journey to find your mother called Lucille. You live with your aunt in Moki town ...sounds non-commonplace. and today is the day you get your first pokemon. Professor Bomb'o Bombs? Bomb trees? Wait, no, I got it! He is named after Bomb Flowers...now that's brilliance., who is your father friend, calls you to his lab and give you your first pokemon, so you can help yours father quest in the future. Then your adventures start and you will face alot of challenges like participating in a championship, defeating the Teams Ying and Yang TWO evil organisations? Can't you beat the cliche? And after already mentioning this Uranium DNA, why are you forcing another opposition force? and much more Sounds like quite a hefty adventure...
Refer to the bolds, please...

Agent Zero:

Here are some answers to you ;p

The explosion is green because its based on the uranium stone which in facgt is dark green.
The pokemon has a name for sure, but i just dont want to reveal it right now.
The uranium just mix up with the other molecules modifying the original one
The normal pokemon got this "infection" reverted
Some weeks ago, I and ZP (zephyr) decided that the ??? "awekened" (thats not the correct word, idk what it its =/) after its uranium supply has finished where he was till the moment
I like the names T-T, i just created them.
They dont necesseraly means light and dark, Ying also means water (sea) and yang also means air (sky?)
Its not exactly mindcontrol, its just that those "uranium" pokemon need to infect others in order to survive (I cant express myself here =/)
For the teams, who said they are evil ;p


As you see its hard to me write big compositions/texts in english since thats not my mother language. Thats why Im always trying to improve this plot and im often asking help to Zephyr who is always helping me with it, i would like to tell you guys alot more of it, but i just cant at the moment. As soon as I improve more my writing ill be redoing this plot so it looks better.

...a suggestion? Write it up in whatever your more commonly-spoken language is (Spanish, Korean, Russian, or whatever) and throw it into Google-->Language Tools-->Translate text. That may or may not help you...

Hey, about time we had someone that wasn't just posting colorless "i like ur game and ur fakes keep it up" posts. And you raise some interesting points; I'll do my best to answer them as well.

First off, let me say that I am in the process of rewriting the summary to be a little more updated (since we've done some work on the story since that summary was posted). So some of your comments, in particular the ones about grammar, won't pertain once I'm done. But I'll do my best to answer the rest of 'em...

-Tandor actually does have one active volcano. The rest of the mountains are, for all intents and purposes, extinct. Just so we don't get into a debate about the geological history of the region (like in the Mercury topic): the region is situated on a fault line where the plates were pushing up against each other; however, millions of years ago the plates stopped shifting, so they are simply at a standstill with only one existing passage to the core of the earth. Good enough for you?

-Not Aliens, although that would be cool. =P The power plant once provided energy for three cities, but after the meltdown it was understandably abandoned.

-What JV is trying to say is this: Uranium isotopes will continue to emit radiation until they become stable, correct? But since radiation is the source of this Pokemon's power, it doesn't want to become stable and so seeks new sources of power. When normal Pokemon get afflicted with radioactivity, they react differently than humans: it infects their elemental nature until they become as single-minded as the legend. There is a cure for the normal Pokemon, but only applicable in the early stages of infection.

-Aotios and Mutios are actually not light and dark, as JV said-- they're wind and water, passive and agressive, coexisting guardians of the isles that usually have little to do with people... but of course, this new disruption has changed that rather.

-The professor's name there is a typo. xD It's actually supposed to be Bamb'o.

-"Team Yin" and "Team Yang" are the rather more outdated part of this. xD First off, those names are obsolete (we have new ones), and second, to call them evil teams would be a misnomer-- they are neutral organizations that would ordinarily be unrelated to the problem, but unfortunately with Aotios and Mutios involved they can't be.

Hope that answers your questions. :3 I'll have the updated story in a bit.

Hey, about time we had someone that wasn't just posting colorless "i like ur game and ur fakes keep it up" posts Flattery won't get you further than the moon.... And you raise some interesting points; I'll do my best to answer them as well Ohhh, so I get a two-for-one deal? Guess that made that post worth it....

First off, let me say that I am in the process of rewriting the summary Oh, excellent... to be a little more updated (since we've done some work on the story since that summary was posted). So some of your comments, in particular the ones about grammar ...I never point out anything about grammar. You must have misunderstood me..., won't pertain once I'm done. But I'll do my best to answer the rest of 'em...

-Tandor actually does have one active volcano If it didn't, that'd have to be changed, wouldn't it?. The rest of the mountains are, for all intents and purposes, extinct Soooooo, can I take a 'Peak Fossil' to a scientist and get a Mountain revived for me?. Just so we don't get into a debate about the geological history of the region (like in the Mercury topic Geologicasl history can be important (especially when legendary pkmn are involved).): the region is situated on a fault line where the plates were pushing up against each other; however, millions of years ago the plates stopped shifting ..., so they are simply at a standstill with only one existing passage to the core of the earth It would be interesting if the 'active' volcano were to, uhhh...erupt...and cause damage as an added mess to whatever else you got goin' on.. Good enough for you? No.

-Not Aliens, although that would be cool If it would be cool, then why not just do it? YOU hold the power to control what's in your game.... =P The power plant once provided energy for three cities, but after the meltdown it was understandably abandoned And what about the surrounding civilisation? If it was bad enough, the entire island would have ended up desolate....

-What JV is trying to say is this: Uranium isotopes will continue to emit radiation until they become stable, correct Why, yes.? But since radiation is the source of this Pokemon's power, it doesn't want to become stable and so seeks new sources of power Wow, that's good.... When normal Pokemon get afflicted with radioactivity, they react differently than humans How big of a physiological difference REALLY could there be? I s'psoe it's arguable since pkmn centers and hospitals are not the same and that pkchow tastes awful to humans...: it infects their elemental nature until they become as single-minded as the legend So it's only thought is to infect whatever it sees? Wouldn't there be environmental consequences you must consider? Undoubtedly there would be environmental activists who foolishly try to stop the spreading of the U-DNA, and there would probably be modified tiles to reflect the damaged nature, right?. There is a cure for the normal Pokemon, but only applicable in the early stages of infection. Infection? These aren't viruses...wouldn't contamination be a better term? How do they cure it? Is there some kind of pk-serum that reacts with the U-DNA to remove it from the system so long as it has not spread much?

-Aotios and Mutios TWO new Latis?! C'mon... are actually not light and dark, as JV said-- they're wind and water That's still lacking any originality., passive and agressive A'rrrrrrright..., coexisting guardians of the isles that usually have little to do with people... but of course, this new disruption has changed that rather How? Why?.

-The professor's name there is a typo. xD It's actually supposed to be Bamb'o. ...you sure it's still not a typo and meant to be Will'o? Just saying...

-"Team Yin" and "Team Yang" are the rather more outdated part of this. xD First off, those names are obsolete I already established that... (we have new ones), and second, to call them evil teams would be a misnomer-- they are neutral organizations ...if they have 'Team' in the name, the fanbase will assume otherwise. that would ordinarily be unrelated to the problem, but unfortunately with Aotios and Mutios involved Hmmmm...so that means they must be a religious/historical group or something. they can't be So, for in-game purposes, they are still cliched evil organisations? Seems like just semantics....
Again, check out the bolds...

[h POKE]

The explosion is green because its based on the uranium stone which in facgt is dark green.Howuh...what? Uranium in pure form is dark green, however that doesn't mean that an explosion of a nuclear reactor would be green. In fact, nuclear explosions are generally hot enough to produce plasma- which is most often white.
Uranium isotopes will continue to emit radiation until they become stable, correct? But since radiation is the source of this Pokemon's power, it doesn't want to become stable and so seeks new sources of power. When normal Pokemon get afflicted with radioactivity, they react differently than humans: it infects their elemental nature until they become as single-minded as the legend. There is a cure for the normal Pokemon, but only applicable in the early stages of infection.I'm...pretty sure it doesn't work that way. If a living organism were infected by radiation poisoning, they'd probably just weaken and die in a week or so.
Also, an army of slave pokemon? That sounds very unlikely, and pretty lame in my opinion.
As a final point, if a nuclear reactor were to explode, such as in the explosion at Chernobyl, quite a large amount of radiation would be released into the environment and almost everything nearby would have to be evacuated immediately. The chances of somebody (your mother), not only surviving the incredible amount of an energy produced by a nuclear meltdown and more radiation during her escape (if that's what she did) than a shoe-fitting fluoroscope are extremely unlikely, at best.

As much as I had the same initial thought, not everything can be applicable to 'real life'. How would the same voltage of electricity that can take down a -rock- not end up 'killing' anything else...especially a Water type that keeps its skin moist? The same can go for this U-DNA, I s'pose...I assumed it was something that just dispalced important proteins or something in the skin and began, then, acting as a nonfatal toxin (that surely contributes to psychosis). As far as radiation goes, last I checked, DNA is not a particle...unless it's just a cool name.

Dude, it's mind control. Get with the times.

...not to mention evacuated for a while (and the people so-and-so far away would suffer, as well). Environmental effects (what I'm more interested in) would be minimal so long as there's a serum or something to displace the U-DNA on an 'infected' pkmn...do you guys plan anything like that? Or is there some panacea like the 'Stone of Lead' or something...?

[ZephyrPlusle]

Oh, you guys just have to make things difficult for me, don't you? xD; Wish this was a bit more organized so I could answer your complaints in a nice orderly fashion... but that is not the case, so I'll try my best.

Aotios and Mutios' competition is what results in Tandor's geography--Aotios has slightly more power then Mutios (as a remnant of an old battle they fought), so the sea is in fact retreating away from the isles at a very slow rate (...hey, this is Pokemon; the legendaries have direct power over their elements). The "active" volcano is also Pokemon-powered, with its resident being a subject of a sidequest... but enough about that.

-Aliens are cool, but that's not the point of this game. =P Maybe someday I will make a game with aliens, but for now, it's actually not my choice as to how the plot goes-- you're looking for JV for that. xD ...And there's a point that you both are missing, that perhaps I didn't specify enough: they were very cautious when building the plant; it's on a tiny island that's surrounded for hundreds of miles by seawater (and I'm sure I'm contradicting myself by saying that, but whatever). Yes, it was a problem for residents of coastal cities, but here's the thing: for a nuclear meltdown (not an explosion mind you, a meltdown), it was suprisingly isolated... and yet the place still retains high levels of radiation, due to the Pokemon causing all this.

-As for the Nuclear Pokemon thing. Actually, this goes a lot deeper: Pokemon are defined by an attribute that determines type. Say it's a chromosome; whatever. If a mutation occurs in that chromosome, then that Pokemon's element is affected, and similarily its resistances and weaknesses change. That is the first thing affected when a Pokemon is exposed to radiation: its element changes. Nuclear Pokemon are, except for their creator, mindless: they more or less only follow their master because through it they can obtain more unstable elements with which they fuel the rapidly decaying element that is the source of their power and their life.

-Aotios and Mutios. When they are infected and brought under the legend's control, their power over their elements goes way out of whack. Vicious storms at sea and land batter the region and have been for the past ten or so years, only having increased in severity recently. Wild Pokemon are reacting strangely to their guardians' absence, understandably; there have been more and more attacks on people for no reason, their populations decline, that sort of thing. Only recently have these effects been connected to Aotios and Mutios, though, and even more recently the meltdown. So.

-Yin and Yang actually won't battle you unless it's training; Most of the time, they're on your side. I won't say much more on the matter; you'll just have to take my word that they aren't your standard "evil team" archetype. I really don't want to reveal our plans too much, and truth be told a lot of this is underdeveloped, and that's what we're working on.

Your constructive criticism helps, although the key word here is constructive... while I appreciate your pointing out the flaws in our logic, what would help even more is suggestions. We're always eager to hear what you-- or anyone, for that matter-- thinks we can do to improve. (short of "change the names" -- they will change when we feel the need to change them; right now, it's the plot structure that we're working on here.)

Peace!
-Zeph

[~JV~]

I think that zephyr explained at least most of your questions Agent Zero, I know that the radiation thing sound a bit impossible, but thats a game, if it had destroyed everything there wont be a game at all. Also, there is no point on explaining how the radioative molecules contamined the other pokemon DNA, all you need to know is that they were contamined. The explosion/meltdown is going to be green because I want it to be green, its my choice, white is just "blah". Aotiu and Mutios have nothing to do with Latias e Latios, its just a coinscidence that their names end with "S". Thanks Zephyr for helping me with the plot, which is probably my biggest problem due to my different mother language. And no, google translator is not good, my poor/medium english is still better than it.


Now for the game! You all can expect a nice update for today! We are going to show the new tiles and also change the old plot for the new one Zephyr is writing! (at least part of it if she doesnt have time to finish). Ill show at least one of the revamped maps too, ALL THE OLD MAPS WERE MODIFIED IN SOME WAY!

[Nytkoi]

I like the new css; Ill make you a new logo if you want. :]

[<~F.M.P~>]

Ummm...what can I say really? Well lets see. The pokemon look great, the games storyline is new and seems really great, and your team constantly work hard to improve the game and there skills. Overall the progress seems great, and a small demo would be even better! But anyway Keep up the good work and I look forward to this. Also why are some of the fakemon X'd out?

[~JV~]

Haha, you seen it ^^, i think most people doesn't, anyways! It is update time!

Hey guys, it has been some time since the last update right? But as I always do, I only post Huge updates. Some weeks ago I told you all that I was planning in doing together with ZephyrPlusle some new tiles, so the game looks more unique. Guess what? A lot of tiles are ready, and yes I will show you them now!
I also revamped all the maps in some way! They are all more realistic and also some of them received new paths to make exploration more interesting. I will show some of them.
There is still more to show in this update! The game plot was totally revised, ZephyrPlusle, the team spriter/plotter/everything wrote a new one that is more up-to-date with changes. Also there is a new sprite for Eletruxo and as Nytkoi has already commented, the new CSS layout! Well, it's getting boring to write all this, let's start!

~New Tiles

That is probably one of the coolest part of the update, Uranium now has its own exclusive tiles:

http://i38.tinypic.com/332atd1.png
(I can't believe! That means Uranium has custom grass, tall grass and trees? Amazing!)

http://i35.tinypic.com/2ewjd3p.png
(OMG, after so many custom things there are even more?! New sand! It looks real!)

http://i33.tinypic.com/2wptg5y.png
(Yay there is new water for the new sand!)


~Revamped Areas

AFTER:

(Woohoo there are trees in the track and also a new path 0_0.)


I have more maps too show but I think thats enough... Hmm whats next on the list? Ah its the new game's summary! Thanks again Zephyr for doing that =]. Please read it, its amazing...

~NEW SUMMARY


Your adventure takes place in the beautiful subtropical region of Tandor, where steep cliffs and rugged mountains jut out from the sea. Tandor is inhabited by many species of Pokémon found nowhere else, and it presided over by its own two legendary Pokémon: Aotius, guider of the wind, and Mutios, guider of the waves. They are forever locked in an indirect competition as Mutios tries to swallow the land in waves and Aotios tries to drive the sea away.

Between two of the islands of Tandor, out in the middle of the ocean, there was once a Nuclear Power plant in which your mom, Lucille, worked. Ten years ago, when you were just a baby, there was a nuclear meltdown. One of the workers who managed to escape said that in the wreckage of the plant, he had seen what looked like a Pokémon--but none that he had ever seen before--rising out of the wreckage...

Now it's your turn. In the ten years since the meltdown and your mothers' disappearance, your Father (an established Pokémon ranger) has been journeying the region in search of your mother who he is sure is still alive. You live in the care of your aunt in Moki town, and at twelve years old you are ready to take the Pokémon Trainers' exam and journey out, following in your fathers' footsteps to undertake the Tandor league challenge.

But growing danger awaits you--the Pokémon that was born in the nuclear meltdown ten years ago has been more active, and the area contaminated by radiation is spreading. Pokémon affected by radiation react in strange ways, losing all free will and becoming servants of the nuclear legend… not only that, but Aotius and Mutios have fallen under its control as well. The region's climate is in disaster. You’re not alone, though; you have your fathers' support, as well as that of two mysterious people, somehow connected to Aotius and Mutios, that see your potential early on and aid you throughout your adventure.

The world is waiting...



Now the Grand Finale, I present you the new Eletruxo *-*!!

http://i33.tinypic.com/25ku6uq.png

Tadaa!! Well as I told you, check the new Css layout, its probably one of the best in GD, bye =D.

Wow, Great update! I like the tiles! They all look awesome! : D Good luck!

Oh, and cool new Elextrou!

[Neo-Dragon]

The new tiles and the revamped maps look really nice.

[Exiled~Shadow]

wow!! awesome!! just a question... on all of your posts i cant veiw any of the hidden content.. any ideas why??

[O.G. Duke]

The new sprite looks better.
Glad you could revamp all of the others.
Good job!

[~JV~]

I am glad you all liked the new tiles, the revamped maps and also the new eletruxo =]. We are starting to get more attentio from the GD to our game yay! But anyways, does anyone has any comment to do for the new summary?

OG: You probably didnt check the first post, I marked all the pokemon that need revamp/fixing with a red cross =].

Thanks everyone ^^.

[TheRexion]

It's great!
but the Pokemon could use some work

[SethCullen]

Wooow. This looks amazing. I cant wait to play it.Good luck.

[h POKE]

The textures in the new tilesets are amazing. Although I much prefer them over the boring 2-D styles of third gen, some of them look a bit out of place. The grass (both regular and tall), seem a bit unprofessional compared to the other tiles. The tall grass almost looks flat, but the idea and effort are definitely there. The color of the ocean, I think would actually look better in a dark blue rather than the dark blue, if only because it matches poorly with the froth of the rocks.
I must say, however, the shadowing on the new sprite is refreshing.

[?Alistair?]

Oh wow, this has come along leaps and bounds dude. It looks fantastic with custom tiles (Y) And the new Eletruxo looks really good.

[<~F.M.P~>]

FINALLY MAN! Looks like my favorite pokamanz will be Eletruxo...Great job, and the tiles look good to. Keep up the good work. hmmm I think you should also fix up its starting evo too, but thats just me. ;)

[~JV~]

It's great!
but the Pokemon could use some work
Tell me which of them need work, I dont know if you saw, but the pokemon that need revamping are marked with a red cross on the pokedex


Wooow. This looks amazing. I cant wait to play it.Good luck.
Thanks ^^. Sry to say that, but you will have to wait a bit before playing it xD.

The most interesting and constructive post since the last update. Well, actually i like the tall grass, but I (and Zephyr :3) will see what i can do to make them look even better. Well about the rock dont matching the sea color, we will probably edit the rock tile soon or later.

I was thinking on the same thing, he deserves a revamp too ^^.


Thanks for the good comments guys, but next time try to make more construtive ones, they really help us improving the game! ALSO, YAY post 100!

[cuarzo32]

oh my God! I really love this game but there is one thing I do not understand all the games
where they are unloaded in order to make them.
Regarding the hack pallets and tiles that I love besides being a game I love most
lucky!
PS: I am Spanish and I feel I have a level pretty bad.
PS 2: I say by private message as we've been able to make game?

Bump, Nya~

Well since there has been some time since the last post, I decided to make a small update so you can know how is going the game development. I will reveal a new pokemon and also show one in game screenshots.

[ultron90]

nice animation on Brailip . is it like a pokemon crystal style animation?

[Mrchewy]

If I were you, I'd be careful about mixing FR/LG sprites with R/S/E sprites. The styles are quite different, and it sticks out quite a lot. The scratchs sprites also are fairly bad - this is, however, just my opinion.

On the upside, the plot is unique and actually somewhat interesting. Keep up the good work, but don't forget to make sure the grammar and dialogue within your game is of high quality; it's one of the easiest things to forget, but it really helps make a game look more professional.

[Zorin]

RSE sprites are actually almost the same in style as FR/LG, unless you were talking about the tiles. As for the scratch sprites, please say which ones you think are bad and why. Many are being revamped already.

nice animation on Brailip . is it like a pokemon crystal style animation?
Yeah, it is. But I'm not sure if JV is inserting the animation too...

Good update JV! I like the tiles. Expect to see som new sprites from me soon.

[~JV~]

As Zorin said, please point out which sprites you think are bad also, I wont be using animations on the sprites, Zorin made it just for fun.

Can't say as I'm much of a fan of either of you're two new sprites. The first one (Brailip) doesn't benefit from the large brain protruding from it...
The other one, seems to not be sprited from the right angle. The drawing looks like a real pokemon, but the actual product disappoints, in my opinion.
Also, the animation for Brailip looks like something straight from Crystal. Mixing the styles of the different generations seems to be a theme in the game, but are you sure you're not taking it too far?

1- It isnt a brain protruding from brailip, its a Brain Coral (Wiki) (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brain_coral)
2- Please tell me which parts you think were drawn wrong so we can correct it.
3- How many times I will have to say that the animation was something that Zorin did just for fun, and it isnt supposed to appear in the game. I liked it and posted it here!
4- Its nearly impossible to have a fangame that has more than one spriter to has its fakemon looking like it was done from only one person.

Is that difference between fr/lg and r/s sprite styles too big for you?

what if you collectradoactive sones to evlove pokemon or somthing
sorry if this offends you seanster but your grammer is terrible what i think he was saying is

He has a great idea and hes guessing the mum in the monster and what if you collect radio active stones to evolve some of the pokemon???

[h POKE]

Funny that someone with horrid grammar gets corrected by someone who can't do much better. And sorry if I couldn't have responded to your response earlier JV, but I will now:
1- Just because I'm from Connecticut doesn't mean I don't know what Brain Coral looks like...
2-On Brailip, there's a very good bit of "flat" face effect on the front of its face. The eyes look flat against the head, and if you're going for a cartoonish look like I assume you are from the lips, I would suggest making the eyes look like they're bulging out of the head. The shadowing is all right (except for the stripe on the bottom left), but it looks like it has a beard on the bottom of its face.

For Dhoosnowl (how do you pronounce that?), the light source seems a bit too strong on the front of the face. The line on the beak likewise contrasts too much, meaning that it's basially the only thing you can see in that spot. The left ear also comes out a bit too far (just a few pixels).
And I don't need to respond to the other ones.

[Zorin]

It might be just me... but I didn't understand most of what you said about Brailip... His eyes are actualy popping out, as you can see at his right eye.

[h POKE]

Hmmm... I suppose. But do you mean his left (the one that's just barely off the edge)?
I was referring mainly to the right eye, where there seems to be almost a direct transition from the off-white to the green. This ties in to the shadowing, because with a few more shades of grey at the edge of the eye it could look better. (But I don't always know what I'm talking about...)
When I mentioned a stripe at the bottom left, I was talking about that bright, one-pixel wide line right before the outline below the mouth.
What I said about the "beard" was not anything to change, merely an observation on the way the colors were separated.

[Mrchewy]

RSE sprites are actually almost the same in style as FR/LG, unless you were talking about the tiles.

I'm talking about the tiles, which are noticably "flatter" and more 2D then their FR/LG counterparts. They also use a slightly diffrent colouring scheme.

As for the scratch sprites, please say which ones you think are bad and why. Many are being revamped already.

In my honest opinion, the majority of the scratch sprites just don't seem up to par. Both in design and in their actual sprite quality, they don't look for a minute like that could pass as real Pokémon. Mind you, I just have a thing against Fakemon, so don't let my words discourage you.

As for the Brailip subject, I think it'd look much better if the Brain coral extended down his body, or was a different color. At the moment it looks exactly like a brain and it doesn't look like a Pokemon at all.

[ZephyrPlusle]

About the tiles: I'm doing them in my own style: they're yellower and a bit more lush than the defaults, and you'll see that I'm going for a slightly more natural look in my next (upcoming) tileset update. This is to fit the region, which is, as has already been stated, subtropical: it's a little bit lighter and sunnier than the official regions.

As for the sprites, I don't disagree with you that some of them need work, but you all seem to be overestimating the capacity to which we can imitate official-style. Don't hate on us; we're trying our best here. D:

[<~F.M.P~>]

Concerning the tiles: I must say that your tiles zephyrplusle, are a step up from the old ones and I say that in a most sincere way. I like the look of your tiles(tall grass aside, It needs a bit of work.)So I'm anxious to see what you have for us.

Fakemon: Unique ideas. Thats all I need to say. No ones ever thought of a fish with brain coral before. It looks nice, so For that I give you a slow dramatic clap. Although I do also think that maybe the brain coral should be a little longer? But thats just my opinion. ^^

Keep up your good work you guys. I'm looking forward to this all.

[~JV~]

Sry guys, I didnt have time to make a decent update for christmas, I was really busy, but today I will make an small but important update!

Well the main purpose of this update is to show the new revamped dialogues/speeches on the game, thanks for ZephyrPlusle ^^. They now have good quality:

http://i41.tinypic.com/33uvn2v.png

(Note: Most of the speeches from everything thats already done from the game was redone ;p)


[/css-div]

[/css-div]

[h POKE]

I like the new dialogue better than the old. A lot of it makes more grammatical sense, but some of what I've seen isn't very colloquial. When speaking in a normal conversation, would you say, "They can save you when otherwise you would otherwise be done for." or, "They'd save you in a bad streak."?

Also, the very last screenshot sticks out most to me. Any person, especially a child, would not use "fares" in a normal English sentence. I'm not going to give you suggestions for every dialogue, so I'll end right here. But you should try speaking to your friends and put cues you get from talking to them into your regular character dialogues.

[P!chu17]

I enjoy this game. Good job 'JV'.

[~JV~]

Hey guys thanks for the comments and all, Im just posting to tell you that in the new year eve I will post a really cool update (serious ^^) and also that I have done a lot of progress these days, there is now a rival in the game as well ^^.

[▲]

there is now a rival in the game as well ^^.
Does this rival actually enhance the flavour of the game, or is s/he completely forced? Forced rivals are red flags...yanno, the stalker/best friend/whatever...

[~JV~]

No, he isn't forced, he is totally essential for the plot.

[h POKE]

Is this rival... interesting? Would s/he have a backstory in the style of Acantithe? Would it be difficult to fight said rival? I think the last thing a pokemon game needs is another pushover rival like in Emerald.

Well, we are coming to the end of 2008. One special thing for me on this year was for sure the creation of this project, Pokemon Uranium. A lot of things had changed since I created the game thread on Plot and Story forums on the mid of October, a lot has been improved as you all have seen.

Your support has been essential for this improvement, but probably what really helped me was my team, I would have already gave up without them ;p. I am sure that on 2009 things will get even better and more progress will be done, I'm making this update to we start the new year with good news. Also, there is a new person on the team as well! Everyone welcom Infernal Contraption, he will help with overworlds and also with fakemon descriptions, move suggestions etc!

~Screenshots

As some of you have noticed, my mapping got better with time, I think its time to show you some new screens (Also if you haven't noticed yet, this post background is made from totally unrevealed maps!)

http://i42.tinypic.com/15gs9k2.png

(I know, there isnt anything new on this map, but I wanted to show some of the new dialogues of the game.)

http://i40.tinypic.com/9bk86r.png

(That one is from an alternate path on Route 01)

http://i39.tinypic.com/2wejj3b.png

(A random part from the already known Route 03)

(Those are some parts of the long and beautiful Route 04...)

http://i43.tinypic.com/2uh0b2c.png

(Im showing this map to you see the new effect I get using two different tiles of water, I couldn't show it properly on the screenshots.)


~New Pokemon

Yes, I have some of those to show you! Our fakemon count is increasing quickly, PU spriters are working hard on them! Here are some of them:

FELENG [NORMAL]

http://i451.photobucket.com/albums/qq235/ZorinFAKEMANZ/023.png

This is a POKéMON that you do not want to mess with. Although FELENG is a very small and weak POKéMON, it can manipulate other POKéMON just by looking at them.

FELUNGE [NORMAL]

http://i451.photobucket.com/albums/qq235/ZorinFAKEMANZ/024.png

FELUNGE is well known for looking innocent, but it is an extremely intimidating POKéMON. FELUNGE has an incredibly high jump, or lunge. It able to exceed over 10 feet with a single jump. When FELUNGE senses danger, its lunge is very powerful, and deadly.

FELIGER [NORMAL]

http://i451.photobucket.com/albums/qq235/ZorinFAKEMANZ/025.png

Although FELIGER is a 4-legged POKéMON, it is known for standing on its hind legs to scare away the enemy. Some say that other POKéMON are scared of FELIGER because it looks like a DRAGON-type POKéMON when it is on its hind legs. FELIGER is an extremely vicious POKéMON, but may be tamed into a loyal POKéMON.

BAASHAUN [DARK]

http://i40.tinypic.com/2wfnx1w.png

Those pokemon are often found in groups of 20 or more and also are known for using its horns to hit its enemies.

BAASCHAF [DARK/FIGHT]

http://i39.tinypic.com/4g585g.png

When BAASHAUN start standing in 2 feet, he evolves into BAASCHAF who is able to use his fists to fight.


~New Graphics

Those days I started messing around with the scripts and I managed to edit the the place of things on the battle boxes, I also managed to use pics instead of textbox. Here are some screens:

http://i39.tinypic.com/157og9g.png

(As you see the exp bar is now at the same size as the HP one, also moved everything else from the original place)

http://i43.tinypic.com/6h10y8.png

(That new color theme is looking a lot better than what the old one was looking like, also, you can see the Move menu there.)

http://i44.tinypic.com/ih5mc9.png

(Thats the new look of the Pokemon Screen, I had to change some things position to it fits the new background)

http://i39.tinypic.com/29m0hw2.png

(Thats the new Pokedex, it isn't looking perfect at the moment, I still need to edit it a little bit.)


Thats all I planned to show you on this update, I hope you liked it. HAPPY NEW YEAR and good luck to everyone =p!

[PokemonOI]

That is a really nice update you have there. Its starting to look real good. I really Envy your fakemon lol

[<~F.M.P~>]

That is really nice. I love the sheep pokemon...I never thought of making a dark type one, but this update is really nice. ;)

[Nytkoi]

H. o. l. y. H.e.l.l.

Amazing update! All the new graphics, the better maps, its all so great! Good job JV! Man, great New Years Update! 8D.

[h POKE]

The new battle system's status boxes are hard to read. I had to move up close to the screen to see everything in detail, and on a GBA screen, that can be deadly (not that this will ever be on a GBA, but you should still be thinking). Also, the "already caught" symbol is one pixel to close to the gender symbol's field (not that it should be on the ally side in the first place).
My comments should by no means suggest that I want you to throw the baby out with the bathwater, because it looks (nearly) flawless, just that the color could use being a shade or two darker.

[Zorin]

Nice update JV, but don't forget to use the revamped version of Feliger. (as shown in my sig)

As always, you are making construtice criticism, all I have to say is thank you. Now for the explanations:

1- I have to agree, its difficult to read, Ill probably change some colors so it gets easier.
2- Thats not an already caught symbol =[, thats a detail that I added to the player box so it looks cooler. I may edit it so it dont get too close to the gender symbol.
3- Maybe I can use darker shades, I used that because my PC screen is a bit darker due to configurations etc...

Nice update JV, but don't forget to use the revamped version of Feliger. (as shown in my sig)

Ok, Ill edit the post and use it ;p.

[Blazers]

Good update.
I like your fakemon, but it's just that some aren't in the same style as the others.
Like your Baashaun, i think they should all be put in that style.
But besides that, it looks good

[Tunaboy88]

Hiya i'm Tunaboy88

Hey-JV- can i be your third spriter?
here's some of my work

44492

44493

Here are some fake poke's
sorry they have no names

please can i be the 3rd spriter
Please!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[~JV~]

No one will ever want you as a spriter if you triple post like this, also, I don't believe you did all those overworlds and fakemon. I reported you for triple posting.


@Blazers: Im glad you liked them, but about the scratching style, sorry but thats almost impossible to do when there are 3 different spriters on the team =/.

[Wichu]

The OWs are D/P rips, and the Dialga/Palkia sprites are Coronis's. The starters are some other guy's (I forgot the name); they're definitely stolen.

[GoldenBagon]

i have those ows on my pc i use em as bases and the fakemon r from deviantart
also
http://i40.tinypic.com/2wfnx1w.png

BAASCHAF is alright
the shading BAASHAUN looks weird maybe try a different shading technique??

[Nytkoi]

Hey JV, I can't wait for another update, your games really seem to be improving!

[MegaMaccer]

Looks good, the sprites and maps are pretty cool. Keep it up!

[~JV~]

Hey guys im posting here to tell you that Ill be out travelling for about one week, so dont expect any update or updates during this time. But Ill make a really cool update as soon as I come back ;p.

Following hPOKE suggestion, I added a bit more contrast on the battle boxes, does anyone thinks it's looking better?

http://i43.tinypic.com/6h10y8.png http://i43.tinypic.com/29f85yt.png

[h POKE]

Oh, yes. This is a lot better than the previous (in terms of color). It has a very clean and professional look, the kind of thing you'd expect to find in a real game as opposed to an unfinished product. The only thing I have to question, and bear with me on my criticism, is the way the color of the experience bar changes like an HP bar would. The concept here is good, the colors, however, not so much.
I would suggest using only shades of blue for the bar. Honestly, the bright green seems to stick out too much, yet in a bad way.

[Water Pokemon Trainer]

nice scratch fakemon my mate usually does really good splices so you cant tell whats been used but yeah really nice shading and all keep it up

[Dustyguy]

I love this game its gunna come out great!

[BaconBoy914]

Feliger looks horrible, but all the other Pokemon look real nice

[~JV~]

Hello everyone! I am finally back from my travel, I really thought the thread would be at the second page when I came back, but it isn't! Anyways, as I promised, I will make an update!!

Even though this update is really small, I'm sure you all will like it! I'll show the new look of the PokéPod and also an edited Region Map, enjoy ;p!

Cool, i love the reigon! its so big! and the poképod looks awesome! keep up the great work ~JV~

[Zorin]

Sorry I haven't been doing stuff for your game, I've been lazy with pixel art as well as school. I have made two new fakemon though, just see if you like 'em.

New update is cool, I like the pokepod.

[~JV~]

Im glad you liked it =p. Last week I started making my own battle animations, and guess what? I already have 90 animations done, and they are different for each move, and the best part is that im making them on my own style, that means that im not copying from the original games etc! Here is a teaser:

http://i44.tinypic.com/nqd57b.png

[victorspvl]

cool!!

This look awesome!!

[Nytkoi]

Wow, amazing update. I really can't wait to see the animations in action! :]

[PokemonOI]

That looks great man. I havent really seen people around here work on animations besides myself. It's great to see. In Infinite rainbow I had started the animations and now for malachite they are completely done. Great work! but I for one know how much work you still have to do.

[~JV~]

thats true, its hell lot of work to do. I have right now 106 done but I probably will need to make +100 of them I think. The types that I have already finished making the moves are:
Fighting, Fire, Flying, Bug, Grass, Steel, Dark, Ghost, Rock and Dragon.

[h POKE]

I like the new style of animations. That spider web must have taken you a really long time to create...
One thing I have to ask, though, is whether you are making new moves in this game. Seeing as how you are creating new tiles, new pokemon, a new region, and the whole nine yards, why don't you go the extra step with a greater movepool?

Well i dont know what him and his team is doing with the animations but the spider web doesnt take anytime at all to put in the game.

[h POKE]

Ehh... I'm no spriter. I just looked at the image, and it seemed to me to be pretty complex. However, I do agree that it would take little time to program the animation into the game.

[~JV~]

This web is from fr/lg, but I had to animate it for the game obviously. I had my first attempt at creating a gif and here it is...

It looks totally pokémon!
Although you may want to reconsider the place for the BRN thing, because it looks not right in my opinion..
Anyway good luck on the game, and I hope to see something more in the near future!

Yeah, I had to let Smore use string shot on me three times to get enough frames, but between that he used ember on the mankey and it get burned xD. Also, Ill make new status icons to fit this box ;p.

@hPOKE: Im thinking on making some new moves for my game as you suggested ;p. Actually I already have some ideas for them...

[Zorin]

That looks amazing JV! I can't wait to see it ingame. I should really start doing some backsprites though.

It's a script I made (or rather, edited) to take a screenshot every frame. To use it, first copy the script to a new script section above Main, then make a folder in your project folder called Animation.
To record, simply press F6 during gameplay. To stop, press F6 again. The script automatically deletes the contents of the Animation folder every time you start recording a new animation, so it's advised that you create a gif file using the images before recording another one.
It will also make the game go really slowly while you use it; this is to give the game time to save each file before taking another screen. You can disable this by commenting the line "self.frame_rate=10"; however, this may reduce the quality of the animation.
EDIT: By the way, you should make each frame last 0.03 seconds (3 centiseconds) to get the approximate speed of RMXP, if you use this script (0.03 seconds * 40 FPS = 1.2 times slower, which is as close as you're going to get to the exact speed of RMXP).

It's a script I made (or rather, edited) to take a screenshot every frame. To use it, first copy the script to a new script section above Main, then make a folder in your project folder called Animation.
To record, simply press F6 during gameplay. To stop, press F6 again. The script automatically deletes the contents of the Animation folder every time you start recording a new animation, so it's advised that you create a gif file using the images before recording another one.
It will also make the game go really slowly while you use it; this is to give the game time to save each file before taking another screen. You can disable this by commenting the line "self.frame_rate=10"; however, this may reduce the quality of the animation.
EDIT: By the way, you should make each frame last 0.03 seconds (3 centiseconds) to get the approximate speed of RMXP, if you use this script (0.03 seconds * 40 FPS = 1.2 times slower, which is as close as you're going to get to the exact speed of RMXP).


Haha, cool script :p. It works perfectly, thanks!

Low Kick animation(using Wichu's script):

HA AWESOME!!
Great job dude.

[h POKE]

I know I'm a bit late, but I agree with Pokemaker that the BRN thing is in the wrong place. You have a lot of space in that box, so why don't you put the icon between the name and the Lv10 thing? I think that might require extending the box some, though. Still, the animations have the correct feel to them, probably because of the fading effect you used on the attacks. It's all very D/P-ish.

[ultron90]

wow. those animations look awesome. if i may ask, how did you make the animations on both sides? like how did you make the web go towards the opponent/player? can't seem to do that. sorry if this interrupts anything :)

[~JV~]

Problem already solved ;p. Actually I did exactly what you said, put the icon after the Pokémon name.

(I may make better icons later)

Pokemon essentials show the enemy->player animation as the opposite of the player one ;p.

[~JV~]

I know that it looks like im double-posting but i'm not since it has been more than three days since my last post. I wanted to make a update to show you that Pokémon Uranium is getting prettier ;p.

~Night light effects:



There is no reason to all the twons and even cities to be in total darkness during night. Cool light effects were added to the game, and they only appear during night or when it's needed...

http://i40.tinypic.com/sdmesw.png


~New Pokémon:

Is it rattata? sentret? zigzagoon? bidoof? No! It's Chyinunk!

Yes, that little guy will take rattata role on PU, it will be the cute annoying rodent. It will also the first wild pokémon the hero(ine) will meet on the game!

http://i42.tinypic.com/15zkzn8.png


~New move and it's animation:

Coral Break is the first custom move I designed and I'm pretty satisfied how creative I were with it. Here is it description:
"-The user create water sound waves that hit the foe with full power. The foe has 15% chance of getting paralysied. (WATER)
ACC:95
POW:80"

Also here is a gif of it's animation:
http://i43.tinypic.com/f1i3uq.gif
(Chyinunk isn't supposed to learn that move!)


Thats all for today, but I will be showing you a lot of cool things these next days! Any constructive comment would be appreciated.

[CollosalPokemon]

JV,

Might I say that your graphics, pokemon, and story is great?




Because they are fine as is for now :)

[shinylugia249]

Great new move ~JV~! Can't wait to see all the other features you have. This game has gone a long way and I wish you luck!

http://i40.tinypic.com/sdmesw.png
I don't know...am I the only one not liking this idea? Towns are -not- in total darkness...go open up Sunyshore at night, and there are plenty of houses with the light in the windows that illuminates the area not any extra but plenty for what we care. Here, well, first, why are there two light posts so close together? Lose one. I'm not gonna lie--it's a different idea, but...the light circles are a little bleh. Look at what they do to the player's hair. Why not just alter the tiles in the vicinity of the light posts and change the player's hair when within that area?

[~JV~]

I understand your opinion, but till I find any better effect, I won't change that. Also, about your opinion about changing the player hair when next to a post wouldn't work because pokemon essentials doesnt support hero charset changes and it would be too much work for suck detail, I mean, creating one charset for each light angle etc.

Anyways, here is an small update, it's about the starters pokémon:


All the starters are being revamped totally, including movepool, sprite, description etc. Thats too fit the current fakemon quality, thats is far superior than it was some time ago, when the starters were added. Here are the new Orchynx and Metalynx sprites:

http://i39.tinypic.com/72d0rc.png

http://i43.tinypic.com/2dr56wx.gif

More about them and the other pokémon will be revealed later.

~Cya =p.

[Blazers]

Good choice JV.
That looks 100% better.
Excellent job. Uranium is getting better every day.

[h POKE]

The sprites are of a different style than the professional game, but that doesn't mean they're bad. Some, I'm not a fan of, but your ratatta-clone is actually quite unique in a good way (unlike some of the exaggerated shapes of teh Baro).

Despite what AZ may say, I still like your lighting effect. It reminds me a lot of the time I spent once on a lonely Caribbean island, which is kind of like the environment you were aiming for. I would normally say no like him, except for this reason only: On islands out to sea, such as those far in the West Indies, the night is a really deep and penetrating black. Lights only give out a faint ward in those places, creating kind of a sphere like that.

[~JV~]

Hmm the topic is getting boring..., so... micro update time!

Yes, its a micro update but cool anyways, I just want to show the new bag screen *-*:

Don't forget the accent over the E BD...

Also, the comma after 'good' should go. The comma only exists when the words are interchangeable. In this case, good modifies 'quality BALL'.
You wouldn't say 'quality, good BALL'...sounds funny.

[Nytkoi]

Well, it seems like you have the graphics down, so I think it's all set. Everything seems to be going nice, and the updates are getting better. This project has improved quite a bit; good job & and good luck.

[Neo-Dragon]

Looks really eye catching. Nice color scheme.

I don't think he's modified the item descriptions; that's the way it is in FR/LG. I believe it's meant to mean good and quality. Removing the comma wouldn't make sense; you'd have to change it to 'high quality'. Basically, I think you should keep it the way it is.

[Yuoaman]

Nice stuff, this project is really shaping up!

[~JV~]

Hey! Thanks everyone for the nice comments, and Delt I will fix the accent thing and I do think Wichu is correct about the comma...

Now an ~MUSICAL UPDATE~

Yes, I started working with remixes these last weeks and now I have plenty of them! They are all mp3s which makes the overall file size A LOT bigger. That wouldn't be an issue cause as soon as I release a demo there would have two versions, one with mids and the other with the high quality mp3s.

Here is the link to the new title music. It's a remix I made from a GB Pokémon TCG music...

listen to it here (http://www.muziboo.com/JV12345/music/pokémon-uranium-title-remix)

[h POKE]

Hmm... I've heard that before. It has a pretty good melody, but I think it needs some more instruments or something to just help break up all the silence.

[InMooseWeTrust]

The sound's a bit too harsh. The high sounds are really metallic and there is almost no low. It's also pretty barren and atonal music should be used VERY sparingly. You should make this more balanced.

If you give me the MIDI I could fix it up for you. Just email it (inmoosewetrust@gmail.com).

Yeah I agree with the comments but about you fixing the MIDI... it's impossible. For some reason any software that is able to save the file as MIDI doesn't work on my PC, the one I use can open MIDIs but is only able to save them as mp3, ogg, wma etc.

[Nytkoi]

Well, good to say this isn't dying. Good work JV.

[~JV~]

Well, good to say this isn't dying. Good work JV.

You could just email me the raw MIDI and I could make a few adjustments in 10-15 minutes that would automatically make it sound better. However, for my game I'm doing custom tracks that are elaborately remixed.

[BillNye]

woah! i love how Metalynx looks!! it's so natural looking!
great job!

[Yuoaman]

Metalynx looks great! Though Eletux seems a little strange, otherwise though very nice sprites.

Hello everyone ^^. Even though it has been some days since the last time I or anyone else posted on this thread, it doesn't mean that I'm not active anymore xD. Actually I've been preparing this update for a few days and on that one I'll present something that will impress everyone! So... Have fun


~VIDEO~

I forgot to post on the thread the new video that was shown on GDW first issue, so for those that hadn't seen it yet, here it is..


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rhW13kaRAs8



~FINAL SUMMARY~

Zeph and I have finished thinking on the plot and all. She made it look pretty solid, and all I have to say is that it's possible to make a great game out of it (Thats what I'm trying ^^). She wrote a new summary for this thread, for those interested, here it is:


Welcome to the region of Tandor, where warm breezes sweep through quiet towns and waves lap at sandy beaches. Tandor is known, among other things, for its robust and slightly different Gym Challenge, where Pokemon trainers travel the region to collect six gym badges and compete in the Tandor Regional tournament, held once a year. This tournament, one of the longest-running in modern Pokemon history, is also renowned as being one of the most difficult. The honor of being Champion is one of the most sought-after in the Pokemon world.

And, you? You weren't interested in all that at first-- you're just a thirteen-year-old kid leading a thirteen-year-old life. After your mother Lucille died ten years ago in a meltdown at a nuclear power plant, your father (an experienced Pokemon Ranger) left you with your great-aunt and departed to travel the region. But your Aunt can't support you any longer, and so you're forced to leave home. Fortunately for you, opportunity.

Professor Bamb'o, regional expert on Pokemon elements, has been looking for a trainer assistant to travel the region and gather specimens of the varied wildlife. You, along with an eleven-year-old named Theo that you've known for most of your life, step up to the challenge. After receiving your starter Pokemon, you head towards your first gym badge in Nowtoch town, and your first steps exploring the Tandor region.

Things aren't as sunny as they first seem, though. Just when everything regarding the accident ten years ago in which you lost your mother seemed certain, new developments begin to emerge. A new power plant is contracted to be built over the site of the old one. Your father begins acting strangely, journeying to the far areas of the region and questioning whether your mother really is dead. And amidst all the turmoil, it seems that a great impending disaster is looming over Tandor...

It seems you may be in for more than you bargained for.



~THE NEW MENU~

Yes, exactly what you heard ^^. A few days ago finished what is Uranium's most different system till the moment. It's working smoothly and has no bugs as far as I know, It was entirely done by me with no help at all. It's similar to a ring menu but on a Uraniuesque way (My graphic style etc..). I named it Octodiamond menu ^^.

http://i563.photobucket.com/albums/ss75/JV12345_bucket/PUMENU.gif

NOTE: The menu works A LOT faster than that.


Thats all for today friends =p. I'm expecting some positive feedback from that. Construtive comments would be nice, cya!

[/css-div]


[/css-div]

[Neo-Dragon]

The octidiamond menu looks really cool. It's nice to see you doing a different take on the menu. Well done.

[rhevarhe_duh]

Nice update, ~JV~.
Octodiamond? Octo-Diamond? 'Octo'? (remind me about octopus). lol.
Keep up the good work.

[DamianLeonhart]

Nice update, ~JV~.
Octodiamond? Octo-Diamond? 'Octo'? (remind me about octopus). lol.
Keep up the good work.

It's name is derived from octo meaning 8 and Diamond referring to its shape. The menu has 8 items to choose and is in the shape of a diamond, so that explains that. I like the menu, it is different and is unlike anything I have ever seen from a game. Good work.

[JesusLuvsU]

Looks great, expecially the diamond bag, is there a demo out yet? X_X ive got poke'ivitus

[~JV~]

Thanks, and I wont be telling any date..

Can't believe I never checked out this thread before. The new menu screen looks quite interesting and creative. The fakemon sprites are among the best I've ever seen from this board so far.

Glad you liked, I'm certain the both Zephyr and PichuK are really proud of their work xD

I'm really happy that you liked it, after all, you're the best with custom systems/menus on this forum ;p.


Here is a teaser screen for fun..

http://i44.tinypic.com/30xddnn.png

[victorspvl]

very good man!!! keep it up!!

[h POKE]

Well, I've seen the features in the update before, so I think you know that I like them, however... I do have to comment on your new teaser screen.

The style of that new sprite doesn't seem to go well with your new style. I think the difference is mainly in the perspective, or the pose. For that new sprite, you have a very conventional pose from a head-on perspective, but many of the new sprites you've shown seem to use poses and perspectives much more like Platinum.

Also, the battle background is a bit off in my opinion. It looks not so much like Pokemon as Final Fantasy, or gritty Fire Emblem.

[Speedy G32]

This game is turning out very well do you maybe need any help still on anything send me a PM

[~JV~]

@hPoke: About the new pokémon sprite I'll let Zephyr answer you since she made that one..

As some of you know, on Sunday it was my birthday. I couldn't make anything special for you because I didn't had much time but today I managed to make a gameplay video of the Passage cave which is the connection between Kevlar Town and Nowtoch City (1st gym city).
On that one you'll also be able to check the new menu better than on the gif, also check a lot of new mixed midis that I made as well. Have fun!



http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J3UXtW9L9II

NOTE: Don't mind the Surfing Gary there, I put him there for debugging purposes and forgot to remove him before making the video =/.



For some odd reason the youtube bbc function isn't working so here is the link... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J3UXtW9L9II

[H2O Turquoise]

Well... It's kinda nice. Are you going to edit the tileset of the cave?
Happy bday!

[ZephyrPlusle]

Pahar's sprite is actually in the same style of the rest in terms of coloring and shading; "Platinum-style" isn't exactly what I would call a different style from D/P; some D/P sprites were posed dynamically too (Vulpix comes to mind). I simply chose a static pose in this case in order to show off the design details, which may not have come out as well had it been, say, flying. Its evolutions should satisfy your craving for the extreme. ;D

The backgrounds are from Keitai Denjuu Telefang 2, and I rather prefer them to the bland traditional Pokemon backgrounds. Do you think it would look better if it was blurred slightly?

[RoCkinHoRse!]

sounds cool,but personally...i don't like any hack that has new pokes...
i preffer the old pokes hehe

[h POKE]

Oh goodness, you just said the h-word.

I like the way the game looks a lot. However, there are a few things I should point out:

- At the opening to the city after the cave (either you haven't released the name or I don't remember it-- probably the latter), the fence you placed crosses over into the river. Kind of vague, but you can see it in the player's view right as he saves.

-The cave seems a little on the thin side (specifically towards the end)... it's also a little short, but I guess that's just because it's at the beginning of the game.

- What kind of "manly" trainer carries around Barewl?

@ZephyrPlusle: Ah.. I didn't recognize the backgrounds. I'm a huge fan of Telefang, though. Still, there's nothing wrong about a static pose (so many pokemon in third gen were in it...), it's just that dynamic poses DO look way better, in my opinion.

[~JV~]

1- Oops, forgot to fix that ^^

2- It may seem short, but I was really lucky to pass through it that fast, and if you start with any other starter than Flager, believe, it's hard..

3- Oh c'mon only the manliest man are able to tame a Barewl ;p. (Really that never came to my mind, that even sounded as an irony..)

[~Undefined~]

Nice video, but I'm not sure if I like the intro music. Although I love the battle graphics and the trainer battle music!

[Sricule]

The game looks exciting and cool, the only part I don't like is that he picks your pokemon based on the quiz. I don't know if he lets you choose but other than that, AWSOME!!!

[~JV~]

Thx for the support dudes, I've updated the first post putting there all the information given on the last update. I also took out the game pokedex from the first post. I'll leave the next fakemon as a surprise for you so the game gets more exciting and enjoyable ;p. Also a closed beta is already being tested by the team and also a few people. Thats all for today.

[iSub-Zero]

looks solid cant wait to play the finished product

[~JV~]

I guess I forgot to show the trainer card =x, so here is a small update about it:

http://i43.tinypic.com/e87r40.png

As you can see, it's quite different from the regular trainer cards with 8 badge slots. That's why we won't have 8 badges but 6 badges plus 6 "stickers"! The stickers will be gained lately on the game and they are earned on a quite different way. That's still a secret!

Expect some micro updates these days ;p.

[Gold95]

I like it but where do I download it??????? sorry for this question...... and I really like it I think you should put some good sprites.......

[ZephyrPlusle]

I like it but where do I download it??????? sorry for this question...... and I really like it I think you should put some good sprites.......
We're still in the betatesting phase, so there is no downloadable game yet. You're going to have to be content with screenshots and videos for now. (Believe me, it'll be worth the wait! ;D)

And I'm trying my hardest to make some nice eyecandy for all of you :3

[Emerex]

Oh sweeeat;p It looks it would be a great game... keep doing your work;)

Sry to everyone for not making a decent update this last weeks.. Thats probably the reason why the thread almost got to the second page =x. Well thats about to change, because I'm bringing you an important and full of screenshots update!
Update contents:

-Professor Bamb'o
-Rival revealed
-New Pokémon
-New tiles
-New effects

Professor Bamb'o:

Yesterday I just realised that I didn't present you Tandor professor, professor Bamb'o. I've only showed him on a old video the most of you didn't see.

http://i563.photobucket.com/albums/ss75/JV12345_bucket/Oak.png

Bamb'o is an expert on Pokémon elements, as it's noticable, he doesn't like to walk around using scientist clothes like most of his mates do. He is the hero's father best friend and thats why he choose you to be his trainer assistant. Another boy also step up the challenge, Theo a eleven year old boy who is your friend since the hero was really young.

Rival revealed:

http://img9.imageshack.us/img9/3364/trainer086.png

As you could read on the Bamb'o note, you take the test to be a Pokémon trainer together with a Theo a eleven year old boy. Now you're probably guessing, why someone two years younger than the recommended age to start as a trainer is already getting his first pokémon..
Theo is always trying to beat the hero on any possible challenge, because of that he insisted Bamb'o to allow him to take the test and also asked to his father help him with his journey. Even being so young, Theo will prove to be a smart trainer, who know to balance his team correctly. He will be really important for the on-going plot..
Here are some of the first events he will appear:

Thats event happens after the hero got the first badge, thats also your first battle versus Theo =p.Thats all I wanted to show you about Theo till the moment.
(All those wonderful dialogues written by Zephyr :3)

New pokémon:

As some of you have seen, I removed the dex on the first post so the game gets more exciting and all, though I'll keep showing some of the new pokémon on big updates like that one.

I present you, our newest addition to Tandor's pokedex, Dunseraph!

http://i563.photobucket.com/albums/ss75/JV12345_bucket/dunsparcevosprite1.png

It's Zephyr desing and sprite, I really like it =p. He is Tandor exclusice Durnsparce evolution, and is Dragon/Flying.

New tiles:

As time goes, our custom tileset (by ZephyrPlusle xD) is growing as well! I'm now showing you our new cliff/mountain ones which I like a lot =p. Here is a screen (check the rival events screens to check for them as well):

http://i563.photobucket.com/albums/ss75/JV12345_bucket/capture020.png

New effects:

Some days ago, I made a custom dark area effect for the caves 8D, take a look:

http://i563.photobucket.com/albums/ss75/JV12345_bucket/capture021.png


That was pretty much everything I wanted to show you that time, if I could name that update, it would be Zeph update cause really, 90% of the sprites/tiles shown on this one was made by her. Expect new tiles, sprites and screens soon, hope you liked ^^. Construtive criticism is welcome.

Wow, this has been a week filled with big updates! I adore the entire concept of Dunsparce's evolution; I have always had a soft spot for that guy! I mean, honestly, he is rare to find, forgotten easily, fairly weak, normal typed, and without an evo. I have seen a lot of evolutions for him, but none have looked that good. I also love the new tilesets! When I'm ready to make my own game, I plan on making all my tiles custom, and its a great inspiration to see other people having success with the endeavor.

Continue with the noble efforts!

Glad you liked the new fakemon and I'm sure Zephyr is as well =p.

Well I thought I would get a bit more feedback you know.. Anyways, is there anything you guys would be more interested on seeing on the next update? I'm open to suggestions lol.

[O.G. Duke]

A good update. Nice and clear.
Great job. Keep it up, man.

[~JV~]

hey guys, something terrible happened.. My pc got infected by a virus that I have never seen before, it's a new one, people started commenting about it this month. I probably downloaded an infected .exe, after 2 minutes I downloaded it there were 2238 .exe infected by it. I had to make a deep format on the computer. I have a Uranium backup on my pen drive, but don't if it was infected... Also have a backup uploaded on the internet, but that one is one month old.. Plz, wish me good luck..

EDIT: The virus name is w32:vitro, no anti virus can fix files infected by it, so BEWARE, that thing destroy your pc in minutes.

[~JV~]

erhh since anyone posted here for 5 days, I'm double posting to tell you that I managed to recover the pendrive and with it Uranium. I only lost one day of work, which can be redone quickly. Since I'm happy, I'm revealing the first gym leader of the game, Rachel =D.

Here is a battle screen:

http://i563.photobucket.com/albums/ss75/JV12345_bucket/capture002.png

Now we can make that thread active again xD.

EDIT: That bg is not definitive by the way =x.

What type does she use? You should more to distinguish it from the others. it looks like a regular trainer.Maybe give it the look of a gym leader. Anyway I do think this game deserves more attention but keep doing what your doing.

[Sricule]

awsome, evrything is so great

Normal, she is supposed to be a new and young gym leader since her work is to approve trainers to continue their adventure. Agree with you =x.

awsome, evrything is so great

Thanks ^^.


Well everyone, expect an update really soon =p. Erh.. it will be a musical update.

Also, we are open to new members/workers again so if anyone is interested, pm/vm me. Check this post on the new team recruitment thread made by Neo Dragon =p for more information about what I want:

Well as I promised, a new update =p. That time a musical one, seeing that I've never shown you any game music I'll be showing Uranium's exclusive remixed made by me! Have fun =D. You dont have to download anything to listen them, just click on the links that Windows Media Player will show up (or any other program you use as your pc media player).

Music list:


-Moki Town: click here! (http://midishrine.com/midi/28101.mid)

Thats the music for the first town of the game, the one you start in =p.


-Route 01: click here! (http://midishrine.com/midi/28102.mid)

This one was the first one I made, probably the simplest remix on the list, I like it though.


-Kevlar Town: click here! (http://midishrine.com/midi/28103.mid)

Second town on the game.


-Nowtoch City: click here! (http://midishrine.com/midi/28104.mid)

Third city on the game, place of the first gym and also of the first encounter with your rival.


-Wild Pokémon Battle 01: click here! (http://midishrine.com/midi/28105.mid)

That one as you can see by the title is the wild battle bgm. That one is my favorite so far ;p, I guess it's the team one as well.


-Trainer Pokémon Battle 01: click here! (http://midishrine.com/midi/28106.mid)

That one as you can see by the title is the trainer battle bgm. I like that it, but not totally satisfied with it..


note: To make those, I ONLY used the original ones from the games, I got them at vgmusic.com.

I hope you liked these remixes, now a little contest to get things more exciting here xD.


Contest: Which Music It Came From?:

As you can see by the title, you'll have to guess which original musics I used to make these six remixes! Just post the town/route/place where they appeared and on which game. Who guess more musics correctly gets to see things that won't be show to public anytime soon, like new fakemon, more mids etc..

Just post the original music on the remixes order to participate.

Have fun~


No one is allowed to use these remixes except me!

[StaraptorX]

hello. sadly ( for me ) i dont see anything in the sprites that are problems. so i can not really do a review about problems. XD. if someone were to say these were official pokemon i would not know the difference. lucky agent z. there are often more problems in storylines. keep up the good work!

[Nytkoi]

Well JV, you were right, there have been a lot of updates since I was gone. I love your color scheme.

[maaddogg]

looks great ima play it 4 sure

[Waudby]

I'm glad things are going again. It's looking good. Hopefully more people will be attracted to the thread soon :D

Seems like there's a lack of interest in the game showcase section.. but that's another subject anyway.

Can't wait to see more work from you.

Good Luck.

[aquadan]

Well i read the first page..
i really cbf reading all 10 and im gonna take your first post has be updated many times :)

in your type charts your missing Ghost type
Also the Grass/steel starter: just cos its Steel Doesnt mean it has to be a dull gray... its looks very boring and needs some colour
also the fire starter and its evo look to diffent, i mean you got a bear dog hybrid which turns in to a cat horse?? wtf??i think you should make the starter more feline :)
also whats the water type ment to me based on its kinda like a blob with horse legs...
sorry if im a bit harsh.... my main point, its the grass starter looks really bad, and only cos of colours, also made add some sort of Grass theme to it, like some leaves, bulbs or a flower, i mean the starter could have a flower then it evo's and it besomes some dead petals and its evo has no flower..:)

[Zorin]

Everything looks great JV. I'm sorry haven't sprited much, but you may still use any fakemon I made. The only problems are the back- and minisprites.

[Blazers]

When will the contest end?

[~JV~]

Comments below on bolds.

Well i read the first page..
i really cbf reading all 10 and im gonna take your first post has be updated many times :) Yes it has

in your type charts your missing Ghost type Thanks for telling me
Also the Grass/steel starter: just cos its Steel Doesnt mean it has to be a dull gray... its looks very boring and needs some colour You just was inconsistent here... The same way Steel doesn't mean to be a dull gray, grass type doesn't mean flowers and plants as a obligatory detail..
also the fire starter and its evo look to diffent, i mean you got a bear dog hybrid which turns in to a cat horse?? wtf??i think you should make the starter more feline :) It isn't a bear dog hybrid o_o, it's more like a cub with monkey ears.. got it though.
also whats the water type ment to me based on its kinda like a blob with horse legs... Blobs are round things with no limbs at all ¬¬. Well it came from my imagination xD.
sorry if im a bit harsh.... my main point, its the grass starter looks really bad, and only cos of colours, also made add some sort of Grass theme to it, like some leaves, bulbs or a flower, i mean the starter could have a flower then it evo's and it besomes some dead petals and its evo has no flower..:)

It's ok man, I appreciate in depht criticize like this, but I wanted an agressive look to the grass starter (for it's evolution) so I think flowers would just ruin it... I like the way the starters are and they are final ;p.


When will the contest end?

Only you entered lol, I'm waiting for at least 5 entries. Cmon people, it's a easy one!

Since I sprited 'em, I'll answer this as well. (and I really do appreciate ths criticism; it's much more interesting than all the bland "ur game rox :) :)" or "when is dis hack gon be released??!?" comments)

For the grass starter line, we're trying to break free from the stereotype that grass-type=visible flowers, fire-type=fire on its body, etc. (Don't say anything about Flager.) You're probably right in that it doesn't scream "grass" to look at it, but... look, it's cute, it's green, it learns grass-type moves (especially Leaf Blade). We're not changing it. Also, wildcat + armor = cool.

The fire starters are big cats, they go cub -> cheetah. Not all Pokemon keep the same colors upon evolving, either; the change is especially drastic for these guys because there's only two stages for the starters.

The water starters are highly stylized hippocampi (horse-mermaid-things) with a bit of Lanturn mixed in. :3 They don't really resemble anything, but... that's okay, right? They look cool. At least I think so.

We're not changing 'em, but it's good to hear what you think.

[venom12]

Here is my little remix, i think its sh... xD And everything looks great, i like new tiles.

It looks like you just put one music oer another... It isn't sounding good =/.


I noticed a lack of interest of you guys and girls on the contest =/, we only have one entry so far and I was expecting a few more at least... If I don't get 5 entries till Sunday, I'll be cancelling it.

[H2O Turquoise]

I'm guessing that the Nowtoch City music is from somewhere in Johto... Goldenrod?
And the Moki Town is from Elm's lab. Right?

[Ineffable]

I was quite amused by the Ember move sound. It seemed to blow up at the end. Also, I laughed at the way someone was riding a sea pokemon on the pavement. But I do like this game. It looks good and the graphics are done well. I liked the startup scene.

[Nytkoi]

Hey ~JV~, I just wanted to ask, do you need some help w/ Mapping/some ideas for features? I could even help out with some traner spriting.

For examples of my mapping, PM me. If you want to see my trainer sprite(s) (which are completley scratch) then view my website (go to it be going to my website on my profile).

Sorry about not filling the form; I will if I have to.

[pokerus34]

Good...

Great designs of the Pokemon! :)

P.S. = I'll try it when there's a release! :)

[~JV~]

Well, sry for not posting for a while here. I'm cancelling the contest since only two ppl entered... Well it's possible to see a lack of interest here... I guess all the gd community is suffering from that. I'm finally back at working at a quick pace, Zephyr as well ^^. I have a lot of things to show you but first I want to know what exactly you want to see in the next update. So if anyone has any suggestion, plz tell me xD.

[Tunaboy88]

This Game looks Great ~JV~

[~JV~]

... The showcase is getting really boring ¬¬, where are all the people we had here on the end of last year o_o? Anyways, since noone suggested something for the update, I'm making a micro one...

Well since I lost all my pc data (except Pokémon Uranium xD), I also lost the editable version of the region map, the one with layers etc.. Well I decided to take some time and make a new one! It's based on the old one but still, it's looking 1.000 times better! I'm really satisfied with it:

http://i44.tinypic.com/2hevvxh.png

I'm probably still missing a few things there (like the different coloured sea/cave routes), but I think I managed to make it feel like a real archipelago! Comments and criticism in it plz xD.

[Neo-Dragon]

I love the colours you went with. They look really well together and the map looks massive by the way. So many towns and cities ha.

[PokemonOI]

That looks excellent dude. Your right it has gotten boring around here....Anyway good job. I hope more people post..

[Neo-Dragon]

In what way is it boring around here guys. As the saying goes, you get what you put into it guys. If you have any suggestions feel free to PM me or Avatar.

[Kyuubi12]

I rember this b4 it had the css template..

[Alistair]

The map looks great. The only thing that really bothers me about it is that it doesn't really flow that well. Every route just leads to a dead end (or a route that leads to a dead end). I'm fairly sure you wouldn't want to do this, but just adding some small routes between some towns and cities to connect them would make navigating the map without Fly much better (and thus make gameplay flow better, too). Anyway, nice job on the map.

EDIT:
I know, I really shouldn't have done this, but I edited your map as an example of what I mean. Of course, I added a bit too much.

If you want me to remove it, I would be more than obliged.

I don't mind it. :3 I rather like what you've done with the north-central part of the region-- which, iirc, hasn't been mapped yet. We could make players have to travel the long way to get to the northern city, where they'd get an HM and then would be able to travel the more direct way back.

Some parts of the region I rather like better when left in isolation, though-- in particular, Nowtoch (the red city to the west) has a gimmick of being in extreme isolation; the only way to get to it on foot being to travel through a cave. (NPCs remark on this frequently.) And that's not to say that Fly will be the only method of regional transport...

Also, the yellow places are volcanoes and rather supposed to be left in isolation, with only one path to get there.

But thanks! ^^
