If you're looking for a text editor, I'd be glad to help out n___n I've seen far too many good games and hacks ruined with poor scripts, bad grammar and spelling errors. Even the best writers need a good editor ;D

[_Garret]

I agree there is no point in arguing about thi pixel thing its great to see some mature people (acidicsubstance) and pokemon games. I was getting sick of nintendos no swearing no maturity kid games.
The game is great i dont know if i can help but tell me if i can.

Just to let you all know I've updated the first post with 3 brand new trainer sprites, courtesy of Aquakip.

And for convenience I'll post them down here, too.

Again, these were made by Aquakip.

[AcidicSubstance]

... Yeah, I think I personally preferred the old ones. I mean, look at Helios' sprite on the signature image and look at his new sprite. His new sprite's face is all squished and odd.

The old ones also looked a lot more pokémon-y. I just can't really get into them at all. Sorry, guys.

Holy Smurfs! This game is f**** awesome! Normally i hate fakemon because of their bad position sprite they look ugly and have bad shading, but this one is like too cool!
i like the custom OW's of the hero and the tiles are also good too.
Good luck with this project , btw the old hero sprite are better than the new ones like cruciFICTION said.

It also just occurred to me that the female sprite (in purple) has pigeon toes... Any reason for that, or what?

What do you mean "wat makes you say that?"
Pigeon toes is what that is, where your feet point in toward each other. Pigeon toes aren't a common trait, and it looks odd.

Well, that is a stereotype of a teenage girl, and pokemon trainer sprites usually are the stereotypes of certain types of people. And maybe she is pigeon toed.

So what you're saying is that you made her pigeon toed because that's a stereotype of a group of people who aren't commonly known to be pigeon toed?
Maybe you guys didn't exactly think of it with that much detail, but it looks strange to me.

Then again, I've said my piece on it, and I'll drop it. I will say that I find your comments on stereotype to be kind of insulting, but I don't rightly care that much.

I don't exactly see why it is offensive. Pokemon uses stereotypes to convey certain types of people in certain types of ways. That's all I'm saying. Pokemon tends to have patterns and a lot of female trainer sprites in Pokemon are pigeon toed. Especially the adolescents.

I'm sorry if I offended you in some way, I just don't see why you'd have a problem with that, when it's been done before (many times, at that).

Yes, but I a) never agreed with it when they did it, and b) never saw them make their "Gambler" sprites mirror unshaven and unclean men or women in entire shambles who are unable to live their lives properly. They just gave them a cup and some dice, if I recall correctly.

That said, you didn't offend me. I just find stereotyping for the sake of stereotyping offensive in fiction. You have the ability to go above and beyond what the official games do, given that your audience is older than those who are the suspected audience for the games. Seven to ten year olds aren't likely to be on forums on the internet downloading games.
You should be using that potential to avoid stereotyping for stereotyping's sake.

[Starrmyt]

I hope you don't mind if I add my two cents here...

From what I saw I didn't look at Selene's sprite as being pigeon toed, and even if Pokemon does that stereotypical stuff with sprites (like the hiker sprite or the biker sprite, obviously) it's no reason to do that with a character that's important. Because all the bikers and all the hikers have the same sprite it's smart to do a stereotype because every single member of that group is being portrayed as that sprite.

However-
Selene is a one-time character whose sprite only serves one purpose: to display a main character of the game. Perhaps she is pigeon toed, perhaps she isn't. To be honest I didn't think to hard into Selene's background to say that. This being said she is most certainly not the stereotypical adolescent girl. She's headstrong, tough, like misty (though thats a bad example because her sprite shows her pigeon toed xP) but she's not the cute teenage girl type that you'll see in May or Dawn.

Nevertheless, I don't quite see a pigeon toed-ness in her sprite. I mean I see where you're coming from but it just looks like her hip is popped out with some attitude there. When that happens its somewhat natural to angle your foot inward (well I'm not a girl but I have a sister and I've seen this happen )

I see no problem with it, if it looks pigeon toed to you then I guess Selene's now pigeon toed. So be it.

Pokemon Imperial Sky... Really interesting.
The graphical part of the game is looking great, and so are the showcased starters ( the third water starter is somewhat strange to me, but oh well the others are great).
I had a similar idea of your story a while back, never made work of it though. I'm glad you did, as it's great!

[ozumadrew]

Awesome graphics , what template did you use for the overworlds? or is it custom?

Aquakip, I love you so much.

But is that a sofa in front of the TV? And is that black line a window?

Exceptional work as always.

I'd say that the line would be a picture/painting. A window in that location would be strange. A window would be centred more and would provide glare for whoever's watching TV.

That is a great looking room, too. I love the look.
