A truly great game uses its own tiles. Look at any of the popular games here: Forever Lost, Garnet, Pristine, etc.

They all made their own tiles. Obviously you are still a beginner at spriting, so I'm not expecting you to be able to do that. Some things you could always do is go on google images and search "custom pokemon tiles", or you can go on deviantart.com and search for "pokemon tiles".

The style you pick is your choice, but be aware that by mixing too many different tiles made by others will look bad, as they all have their own style.


Now, I'm not saying it can't be a great game without custom tiles, but it helps by giving it originality. Pokémon Lightning Yellow, for example, uses the HGSS Style. It's all a matter of personal preference, so choose what YOU want, not what others want. You do this for fun, right? Not the fame.

Any idea if r/s/e is done in hgss style because im looking for it to look 3rd gen in a new style?
I don't know, but 3rd Gen tiles in an other style don't look like 3rd Gen tiles. Or it is just me.

I'm sorry if I sound rude, but really? Did it take you 3 hours to open a sprite, choose a (standard!) color, click on the Paint Bucket tool and then click the main, red color of your sprite? maybe it did take you 3 hours to make it, but time isn't an effective way to degree quality at all. I can spend 24 hours on spriting a square of 4x4 pixels too, but the fact I've spent 24 hours on it doesn't make it look good.

And, if your game looks bad because you're using a starterkit, that's not an excuse at all. Look at pretty much every game in the showcase: Almost all are based on Essentials, just like yours. But do they look bad? Not at all.

About your characters, why does Gold have a new name and what exactly is he doing in your game? It doesn't make sense, and I'm sure you didn't even sprite it yourself. Meleny has been discussed by others before, it just looks horrible. Professor Willow looks great, especially compared to the other sprites, but guess what? It isn't yours. I am not even going to discuss Ashley.

Your maps really need work, they are way to open.

Also, I suggest not googling images and use them in your game. The forest background doesn't look Pokemon-ish at all. And it isn't a custom PokeDex, it's just a RSE one with one different color and a googled background that doesn't look nice at all in combination with the UI of the Dex.

Again, excuse me if I sounded rude, but this game doesn't belong in the showcase. In my opinion, this game can't be compared to others here.

If you want to, I can give you some help when it comes to Game Development. Feel free to PM me with questions.

It seems that everyone has been discussing, but I have yet to reply to this. XD

Read all the comments and im working on a new professor sprite and as for meleny that is not may don't you people read pokemon adventures. As for the boulders that has been fixed. As for Kim and Jay kim is okay jay is getting a new overworld sprite. Also as for team i worked on this for 6 months + and don't need help at all. As for everyone else who has things to say don't unless its to tell me how good im doing i had 7 people test this and my main tester said i did everything okay. And ???? is not your main rival and that building is yet to be completed and tile errors will be fixed forgot to when i upgraded to new version of starter kit. And as for my starters i picked the 3 i wanted anybody got a problem then i will no longer update this page and finish this on my own.

Sorry but rudeness won't help you create a game. Sure, I don't read Pokémon Adventures, but I know for a fact that 'Meleny' is character that has already been used. Are you JUST giving Jay a new overworld sprite, because their sprites need to be changed, not just overworlds. Just because you've been working on this for six months doesn't you 'don't need help at all'. Brian Cox doesn't do his programmes all by himself, or he'd get lost near the start of the process. Never turn down help, that's what can make your game even better. Other people have the right to say what they want, and just because you've had 7 testers, the main one saying your game was 'ok' doesn't mean you have nothing to worry. That's 7 people opposed to hundreds or thousands that are wanting to see a really good game. Also yes, I do have a problem with the starters you've chosen. I won't have a problem if you have chosen those starters logically and looked over that decision, but if not, I advise you go do that now.

I'm not trying to be rude to you, no one was, but if you're going to turn our advice down, then maybe that's the road you've decided you want us to guide you down.

How is there 2 versions of this? Whats the differences?

I have some poorly designed graphis in my game too... Reassurance that you are willing to listen and you will get better...

I'm with everyone else, try not to use original characters as your mains, with different names, try to create your own, or even get help, some people are willing tho whip up a quick character and throw it your way, IF, they see this game as promising... Using a LASS however as a story lined character should be avoided...

The thing about custom regions is, it is not a redesign of anything, it's completely new;

Pokémon
Main characters
Starters
Gym Leaders
Town/city, names
Professors.

Try and keep it unique...

Take a second and look at your map when you've created it, it's unlikely this or these, games will ever get finished when you're redoing everything you've already done, map errors are horrible and bad mapping is worse than that, there is nothing worse that a building you've got to use a bicycle to explore, make the maps smaller...

The list of problems could probably go on and on and on, but, take all this critism and turn into making your game better, this is your first project, why ttry and make 2 games when you're failing at lot's of other things... This will not be completed for a while yet, take your time... I can't imgaine how much all the bad reports have made you feel... It's only help in the long run...

Nevertheless, someone did say make the game how you want it, do that, I believe a poorly designed game, with a good story, plot and eventing, makes the bad graphically designed part irrelevant... Some prefer graphics, you can't please everybody!

Interesting choice to use Chikorita as a starter.... Personally, I like Chikorita, but it's also one of the least popular starters in the franchise.

Definetly the top ones, shading is a lot better.

the guy looks weird though. his eyes are weirdly positioned, the left side eye should be raised a bit, imo.
