Oh! I see, it's phases are based off the Holy Bible?
Or... errr, the names?
Er... no xD
I'd like to point out that the Carvanha in the first 2 screenshots looks like it's hovering above the water instead of swimming in it.
The other screenshots look good.
Good point. I'll add a splash effect if I remember.

Well, I said I'd start today, so... here we are! Today's update is a small one, and for those of you with a short attention span, you're probably going to hate it. It's an introduction to a new, yet-to-be-drawn-and-stuff character, who isn't even alive when the game is set.
His name is
Stoke. Although, you might know him as Mr Moore. No, he's not the happy, artsy, tricksy guy from the anime, but a cold-hearted fire-breathing gym leader. One of the old, strong, traditional leaders of Hoenn. Under his command, Lavaridge was among the most formidable challenges in the land, and remained so until Juan grew in power and eventually overtook him in skill. He was a family man, in so much as he had one. But his son was never really loved in a normal sense. He was moulded, perhaps sculpted would be more apt with the abuse he suffered, into what Stoke hoped would be a trainer to rival the best in the land, and even the world. He wanted to breed a champion.
Despite this cruelty, his public image was mellower. He was good friends with Briney, a renowned water trainer and sailor, who was a master of the ocean, much as Stoke was a master of land. Although their obvious differences seemed a hindrance, they were almost the opposite; both saw a chance to gain knowledge of something alien to them. They shared something, though, in that the captain had a son, too. The two boys grew up alongside each other, and, like their fathers, were opposites, and yet the same. Briney's son was never intended to be a trainer; far from it. Instead, he saw him as the one to carry on the age-old tradition of fishermen that his ancestors had done before him.
Neither boy was too keen on being forced into their respective futures, and in a moment, their lives were changed. Their lives intertwined. Their futures rewritten. The day that two men, two boys and two majestic Pokémon met by a riverbank changed Hoenn for good. Blink, and you'd have missed it. But when Maxie and Archie saw the power, the fame, the glory that awaited them if they could harness such immense power, they knew their destiny. They knew that they had to get it. Whatever it took.
