Introduction
Howdy all
Howdy all
Before I advance, no, this is not a R/S/E remake. I think that remakes lack originality and creativity. This is something completely different, just set in the Hoenn Region.
Hey Pokecommunity! I'm Riceeman, and if you know me, it's probably because of my spriting. I take pride in being a good spriter, but I've always wanted to make a game. I've been trying for about a year, but everytime I start, I lose inspiration. Not so this time. Now, I get to combine my two loves, pokemon Game-Making and Spriting, to create what I hope to be a really exciting game.

Story
You're doing what!?!
Well, there is no binding storyline. No huge apocalypse that a 10 year old kid must stop. The world is literally your playground. You can wander over Hoenn, training your Pokemon, and yes, there are Pokemon from Sinnoh and ther other regions found in the wild. Of course, that would be slightly boring. It would get repetitive and you'd quickly stop wanting to play the game. So that's why there's more.

A Pokemon lost in the woods. A ring that fell down the drain. An old person in the countryside who's milk delivery is late. Yes, that's right. Mini quests. Get right into the life of the game and help the NPCs with their daily lives. You might be rewarded, you might not. Some might be easy, some might spiral into huge journeys and great adventures. One quest might trigger another. You have the freedom to help who you want, and not who you don't. The story really does revolve around what YOU want to do, not what the game wants you to do. The more and more quests you complete, the harder they get as your name spreads through Hoenn. So, if you run throught eh game and get to Sootopolis, there will still only be pretty easy, every day quuests. People wouldn't want a boy to help them with getting back lots of stolen pokemon from a dangerous syndicate if they're unknown.
With the fact that there's no official story as such, there's also no team that gets stopped by a child on his/her own. The real world is much more harsh then that, and not as organized. there will be thugs and robbers you will need to defeat, and some might not just back down, even when defeated by a pokemon Battle. These are vicious people, and your bravery and skill is going to be put to the test.
Well, there is a bit of story. The back story. What happened to Hoenn? How did other Pokemon from the other regions end up there?
Professor Oak looked out at the Pokeballs being taken out of the mass of vans in Route 101. All over Hoenn, similiar vans were unloading similiar cargoes. As the Professor watched, men and women started releasing the Pokeballs into the grass. A Bidoof scurried off into a nearby bush, a horde of Rattatta burrowed into the undergrowth. A Hoothoot and it's flock landed in a nearby tree. A crowd, formed from the nearby town of Littleroot, cheered as the new Pokemon began to seek refuge in the route. A few passing Zigzagoon watched with eyes filled with curiosity as the new Pokemon settled into their new home. Once more, route 101 was filled with the normal activity of Pokemon, as if nothing had happened. That could be no further from the truth, Professor Oak mused, for with the integration of his new Migration plan, Hoenn would be changed forever.
He tore his eyes away from the scene as the vans trundled away, to the child standing next to him, their eyes filled with determination and ambition.
"So, you're ready?" He asked, and when they nodded he laughed slightly and walked away, "Professor Birch has recently seen some rare pokemon near Littleroot. Maybe you could help him catch one?" And he was gone.
The now lone figure on the hill took one last look at the new Hoenn before wandering after Professor Oak. Go time.
Hopefully that should keep Agent Zero happy. If not, bleh ^___^

Like I said, the Graphics are what I pride myself on as a spriter and artist. I can't show you everything as that will spoil it, and because I'm working on the graphics as I go along. So, feast your eyes on the new Tiles for now! Note: I will only post a few screenshots here, the rest you'll have to look in updates for.

Riceeman: Everything
Corssel: Trainer Spriter
I don't believe in big teams. people getting others to do Mapping and such then actually end up doing nothing. if you can't Map or Event very well, then you're in trouble, and RMXP is not the program for you.

Saying that, I do need some positions for things I can't do very well.
Trainer Spriter:
I need someone who can scratch Trainers in 64x64. There will also be a few cases when they may just be edits, but there are lots of Trainers that need to be scratch sprited. Copy and past trainers often look tacky and not very professional.

Scripter:
One of my biggest weak points. I may have a friend who can help me sometimes, but anyone who can script would be a big help. At the moment, I need simple things like the Ash falling around Falorbor and selection screens.
