Introduction

Finally!
After four grueling years, you -being either Dawn or Lucas- are going to graduate high school! The excitement is in the air as your mother and all of your new friends achieve most prominent things you've ever done. Well, aside from stopping a deranged man from destroying the world in order to create a new, pure one.. graduating high school is pretty close though! As the principle calls your name, you feel your heart thudding in your chest as your make your way up to the stage. As that simple, yet unimaginably important piece of paper is laid into your hands, you can hear the crowd, along with your friends going wild!

The ceremony is over, and now, all of the thrills of high school are as well. Now, all there is to do is go home and find a job. Right then and there, you decide that you are definitely not going to work. There's got to be something else you could do! You could always hand around the house, right? Wrong. Your mother would probably urge you to go out and get a job. As you lay in bed, deciding what to do, you hear a small purr. It was your mother's Glameow. At that moment, you knew what you had to do. Sinnoh wasn't the only region out there, right? There was Kanto, Johto, Hoenn, Unova.. There had to be somewhere else! Wait, there is that newly discovered region of Ueno! That is where you will be going to Ueno to become a Pokémon Trainer once more and make some new friends and allies along with some new Pokémon!

Story

As you enter the new new region of ueno, you will see many familier faces...
Team galactic, now have a new leader, Leon, a crazed worshipper, of Giratina, who is determined, to put the world under his feet.
As he try's to perfect his new super weapon, the only way, which is to summon Arceus and absorb his powers, he releases an army of mutant Pokemon upon Ueno, to stall the military.
Then he sets out to the other regions and starts killing gym leaders. After awhile, he comes back, having been spoken to by Giratina, he is determined to capture you, for you hold the key to Ueno's fate.
In the end you will have to choose, will you join team galactic, and be a ruler of the world, or will you fight and resist, the choice is yours.

I am too lazy to notice that the new thread is here! So as I said at dA, the updates will be here.

[cruciFICTION]

In the "Story" section, you seriously need to use less commas. That thing is a grammatical mess.

In the screenshots, Professor Juniper (why is she even in Ueno?) says, "I lost to give you something..." which makes no sense. Do you mean "forgot"? In the first screen, her elbow is cut off, also.

As for the tileset: the lab looks extremely bare, as does the outside area. The outdoor shot makes the trees look flat and there are tiles missing, and it looks very weird with the pseudo three dimensional building and signs.

I still don't understand why you've got Dawn and Lucas as the main characters when you could just have your own. I still don't understand why you've got Professor Juniper when you could just have your own. And it doesn't seem to fit in with Cyrus worshipping only Reshiram. Reshiram and Zekrom are based on Yin and Yang (among other things), so it doesn't make sense to have one without the other.

As a final note, in the other thread, someone mentioned that "iPhone" is copyrighted, and even if that isn't a huge matter, it doesn't fit into the Pokémon style of Pokédex/Pokégear/Pokénav and so on.

Hmm... how did this make it into the showcase?
It doesn't show much progress at all.

It got through because neither Cilerba or Yuoaman were mods at the time it was accepted. Or at least lets hope they weren't...

Tools/language used to develop.
You must specify what tools or what language you are using to develop the game using the thread prefixes.
An introduction to your project.
Your thread must open with a concise introduction to the project, including things such as why you started developing the project. This introduction does not include the plot - they are two separate things.
The plot.
You must include a minimum of three paragraphs (15 lines) of plot for your project. If your project has no actual plot (e.g. an arcade-style game) then the same requirement is applied to the game's premise.
Features.
Though not required, it is recommended you include a list of what features you expect your project to have.
Screenshots/videos.
You must include at least twelve in-game screenshots in your thread - maps, title screens, and game over screens do not count toward this. You may also include videos in your thread if you prefer.
A list of credits.
If you use any tools and/or resources created by others you must credit them by including their name and what they provided you with. This must be the individual author, not the person who shared it with you.

Based on the Showcase Rules, I don't think it should have been allowed anyway. You need at least 12 screenshots. I count 7 here.
The introduction was misunderstood.
And your story is too short.

Now to make things clear: These showcase rules were posted on July 12th, 2011.
This thread was started at June 22nd, 2011. So there's technically no fault of KingSnivy here. He should just update his topic to meet the requirements.

Just helping for a bit here :3

The weird thing about this game is that you don't use any of your characters, you just mix completely unrelated people from a few generations and put them all in one region.

I believe July 12th the rules were re-posted when the sections got re-arranged. The original rules were the same, if not pretty close to what they are now

[GAOlivier]

Aah, Didn't know that. Thanks for rephrasing me there
Considering that, KingSnivy should have his thread modified anyway. If not closed.

[KingSnivy]

All of you, thanks for the criticism, and mainly cruciFICTION who helped me alot. so, Now Prof. Juniper is saying: I forgot to give you a Pokedex.

If that's the only thing you're replying to, I think you need to re-read my post as well as heavily think about everyone else's.

[titiy]

And now there are no more screenshots.

This thread should be in beginner's showcase, not here.

[Cilerba]

How the hell did this get approved? It doesn't meet the requirements at all.
