Intro:
Hey . I'm PokemonMasters and this is my first hack. Well, I've been hacking since March and I can't seem to stick with one hack but this time I think i'll stick with this one.

Story:
A new region, A new beginning. New friends, New Enemies, and a whole new Adventure. Your dad champion of a neighboring region, Topah has instructed you and your mom to live in Ion due to a former incident that happened in Sinnoh. Ion has always been a safe place since anyone could remember. But no one knew evil lurked in the corner. Many people believed that Reshiram guards and protects Ion. You always wanted to live in Unova, but because of Team Plasma, your dad said no. Your dad, being a champion of Topah, tells you to look for Professor Birch to get your first Pokemon and follow his footsteps. But being the Champion of Ion won't be as easy as you think...

Features:
- A whole new Region.
- 4th and 5th Generation Pokemon
- Eight Completely New Gyms and Gym Leaders

Nice screenies! The Champion Island and Elite 4 Challenge sounds interesting. I hope you will stick in this hack upto its completion. Good luck!

[gam3r!]

Good looking screenies remind me of light platinum.The story is simple yet exciting and everything seems to be good ! Good luck

[fanp]

Positive side:

The tiles are very good and i think too that they remember light platinum.
The story is good yet it seems short.
What really interested in the champion island, i love the concept.

Negative side:

Don't understand why you play with brendan/may, make some custom OW, it will be better than the default OW from ruby.

Good luck :D

Good luck on your hack, PokemonMasters! Tiles seem very good and the new features are awesome. Just change the hero and we will have our second light platinum here!

thanks (:

EDIT:
I thought of 2 new things to put in my hack.
1. Instead of a Pokecenter and Pokemart it'll be PokeHelpers. They'll be a boy and a girl (The boy is a merchant and the girl is the healer.)
2. There will be groups of people known as PokePros who are scattered around the Region in teams calling themselves the number 1 trainers in the world. You will have to battle them. Ex. (MountainPros, OceanPros, CavePros, CityPros, etc)

To be honest, I'm not to keen about those 2 ideas. The screens do look nice though. Wish you the best of luck with your hack, and I hope you finish this hack, since I would love to see lots of completed hacks at this place.

[PokemonMasters]

Here's what I meant by that. On the Left side is the Merchant (well there will be one, eventually) and on the right side is the Healer. Im still thinking of where i should put the PC.

That is definitely not going to work imo, I would rather see pokemon centers & marts.

Just to state the errors in that screenshot is the fact that Chansey is blocking your way to heal as well as the sign and you can't tell there is a person there since the tent covers 80+% of the ow.

[PokemonMasters]

No, Chansey walks up and down. Or Maybe I can move it. and in the first town with that ill put a guide to tell you where it is. Or I can rotate the tent & I dont want to Put PCs and PokeMarts , I want to do something different. If you have a suggestion besides tents or pcs tell me.

I agree with K2 XTREME about the tent ideas. This is just me throwing ideas out, but how bout something like a PokeHall or PokeCommute. In each town, there will be someone to heal your pokemon inside and also a merchant. Maybe multiple merchants, like a flea market. And kind of just a place where people socialize. But thats just an idea.

I do like your tiles however. And theres not much to the story right now besides the typical Gym Leaders, (I suppose) and some crazy dream. How it ties in is quite unclear, but Im sure you have some idea planned that your not telling us! So I wish you luck with your hack. ^.^

[PokemonMasters]

Since I'm planning on putting a swamp in my hack,Im planning on making Muddy Water an HM. So , what do you guys think?

Which might be the reason why it won't take so much attention...
Since LP already is here.

Another HM? Since Surf is already enough good Water move Muddy Water would be another useless HM...

[PokemonMasters]

yeah. i was thinking about that. maybe i can make it like that swamp in dp.

[gam3r!]

About your mart and pokecenter stuff you could do it b/w style : having both mart and pokecenter in one building it is like your idea but i think it will work better

[PokemonMasters]

Update:
The First City is Ivory City. It will also have the first Gym. North of Ivory City is Ivory Forest.


(Note: This will not be the final look of Ivory City)

Looking good , a little bit empty but it's ok

[PokemonMasters]

lol i know c: , i just did that fastbreak but as i said that won't be the final look of the city. I usually edit maps 2-3 times before they'll look perfect-ish.

[gam3r!]

If you want to change the ow's to a genIV like ( similar to light platinum or dark rising) you can also change hero's ow with that of brendan but in FR/LG .

[PokemonMasters]

yah about that, i already have a spriter who will make custom overworlds for my game.

You should add some decorative objects like lanterns or something this city looks more like Odale Town , its to grassy for a city.

there need to be a difference between

this


and this


Other then that the tiles look amazing.

thanks and for the second time, that won't be the FINAL look of the city. I plan on putting a flowershop in that city. *SPOILER ALERT* Im planning on putting celebi in that flowershop.
