Pokémon NeoEras - The Tropical Adventure~!

[Mitchman]

Southwest. Hmm couldnt you make it south east so I can suggest connecting hoenn through the left most island by ever grande?

[Riceeman]

Bug Trainer Sprite is mine. I'm making not just overworld Sprites but making custom trainers for the normal types of trainer. And I like the Nugget Maze too!

Attention: Alright guys, the Winner of the Dragonair Contest will be
announced TOMORROW, June 10th! All entries will not be accepted tomorrow,
so get them in today!

[Harlequin]

I'm dare we say...spritingly challenged. (Yes, I know it's not a word).

But, another suggestion.
Why don't we make Outa on a diffent hemisphere than the rest?
It add's originality.

[Vampire://Krimm]

I wrote out a nice update for you guys, but my internet closed out ^_@ *stabs internet*

Mmm, Dragonairs and ToursJune 11th, 08

Hey members of PokeCommunity! It's your agitated game maker, Krimm again ^_@ Back with a rewritten update that I did 5 minutes ago. So here's the rundown version.

Thanks to everyone who entered the Dragonair Contest! We got 5 Entriess in total!

Congratulations to the winner....

Entry #2 - Rm2k3kid~



The Reason why I chose Rm2k3kid's sprite for Dragonair is because it looks like
the literal evolution of Dratini, it doesn't look just like Dratini with wing ear things. I think
he did a good job of updating Dragonair into a more dragon like pokemon. Good job ^_^
Rm2k3kid, PM me when you're ready for the winnings details.

Video Tour!WTFBBQ?!

Alright, alright, I know it's a bit early for a video but this is to show you guys a map of mine in live action! Maresia City is the third city in the Outa Region, and is one with many things to do of course not all of them being things you can do right away. The reason I didn't click on the buildings on the upper right before the Underground Passage is because their spoilers and would have revealed an unreleased feature :3 I apologize for the lack of sound, however it wouldn't exactly matter seeing as how the music the city has right now is only a place holder until I can find a good composer. Enjoy~

Maresia City Video Tour

Oh and by the way, there seems to be confusion in the pronounciation of Outa.

Outa:
Oh-Tah
O-t-ah

Thanks :3

Stay Tuned for the next update! As I said, I won't release it at a certain reply number, I'll release it whenever I think it's ready. And remember, the next update the shadows at the top will be revealed~!

wow!
no wonder Rm2k3kid won!
that sprite is really done well!
can't wait to see his cameo.

are we suppose to guess what the pokemon shadows are or something?

[Neo-Dragon]

Loved the video tour. I'm always so jealous of people using the starter kits in RmXP because they get to spend more time creating nice towns and populating them then I could. I loved the video mainly because your mapping looked really tight and tiles were well placed.
Good job.

[Vampire://Krimm]

:3 Thanks for the comments guys!

@ Neo-Dragon: Yeah, I understand what you mean :p And I'm still not very happy with the Maresia City Map. The Gym part is the area that's bothering me >_<

[Harlequin]

Well done sprite-maker ( what-ever your name is).

Nice city tour, could've donme with a bit more trainers though.

Well I made it Southwest for two primary reasons:

A) Southeast is where Pokegen's Region, Gohir is located. Didn't want to interfere there~
B) Okinawa is located Southwest from the Japanese area that Hoenn is based off of (completely slipped my mind : p) and since all the other Regions are roughly in the same area as their Japanese counterparts, I thought it would make sense to do the same.

Plus, if you can't tell, Dewford Island is the first Hoenn area you access : p

Production News: Alright guys, the next update is COMING SOON. I can't garuntee when exactly, but it should be here quickly~ As for now, I'm currently trying to map one of my favorite cities in the game and I'm failing D: So there won't be much of an update in the mapping department unless I finish it today.

Oh, and I finished the first Gym's Setup, including puzzles, trainers, and of course everything about the Gym Leader. She's tough! : D

As for a Demo, I'm actually still debating whether or not I should release a demo... So there are a slight chance that you might see something in the next month or so.

-----------

@ Libra: Yeah, the City isn't fully done yet. And I'll definitely look into adding more NPCs around lol.

See you guys! Keep up the comments, the next update will be arriving shortly! : D

[PoKéMaKeR]

When I first saw this thread, i was stunned!!
you're doing a brilliant job man !
I really like your idea.. and how you work it out!
I hope to see some progress cause it would be a shame if this is discontinued!!
so keep up the good work!!
PoKéMaKeR

[Mitchman]

Oh dewford is availible. Also um could you tell me if pokegen is a completed game?

[RSLaehnart]

This looks so stunning that I think I might have had Thunder Wave used on me. lolz
This looks just great! Might I ask if the battle system is done? I'd like to know how you got it to implement the same style as the games...

PS: I had been going to enter that contest you had, but I only just found this thread and it was 2 or so days too late... I really had wanted a chance at it. Maybe you could do another? One for completely custom pokémon that could appear in the region? Just throwing suggestions out there...

[Riceeman]

Yeah, another contest! I might win this time! Or not.... Anyways, looking as good as ever Krimmsy. Pm me whenever you need me to do anything else...

[Vampire://Krimm]

@Dark-Cookie: No, Pokegen is not finished.

@RSLaehnart: Thanks ^^ Pokemon Essentials has the battle system already done, so yes, however the Attack Animations aren't done yet. And yes, there will be another contest soon ^^ Maybe for an evolution.

Here are two previews of the map I've been working on nearly all day. Details will come later, but here are some quick screenshots. Tell me what you think the area is like~ Guess away!

[Atomic Reactor]

your using the wrong layer of mountain.
on the corners and side of mountains you shouldn't see grass(when mountain is on top of mountain)
just thought id point that out.

keep up the good work!

[Minorthreat0987]

This game looks amazing I love the new pokemon and such. The screens/maps have a very realistic feel to them, one thing I'd like to point out is that the mountain steps you are using are the wrong ones. If you look at firered or leafgreen those particular steps are atually used for pathways that go down on the back side of a mountain, see Sevil Island 7's trainer tower for example. Just figured I'd point that out.

But other than that I really enjoy this game and look forward to reading it when you update.

Good Luck.

Nice point.

I suggest also adding a sign to the docks in screenshot 2.

And an name for the gym leader can be....Mirra.

[HeavyOctillery]

rm2k3kid made a really badass sprite, there. In speaking of sprites, that toucan Pokemon in your sig, Krimm - can't wait to see what it does.

[Harlequin]

I wouldn't use bad-ass. I would use boom shaka laka as a description.

I think that toucan is like the Pikachu of Outa. Outa's mascot.

[Saiyu]

Krimm isn't online right now, so I feel like answering what I can for him~!

Atomic Reactor... Krimm actually wants grass growing out of the side of the moutains for some reason >>

Libra.. I think we have the Gym Leader's names planned out, but I still like that name

Heavy Octillary and Libra.. I'm not quite sure, but I believe Toulav- the toucan- is Krimm's favorite pokemon in Pokemon Neo Eras :3 So it is fitting that it would be the mascot <3 I like it to, but its not my favorite of the new pokemon.. I can't say what my favorite new pokemon is because you wouldn't even know; it hasn't been revealed yet xD

Who are you?
His/her interpreter?


Anyways, I quite like that name too, it's a derivation of Mirror (duh).

[Saiyu]

Um... Not an interpreter.. Just part of the staff.. And I just like answering for people for some odd reason

[Harlequin]

Oh don't we all.
I sent a PM to Krimm, top secret.

[Vampire://Krimm]

@Atomic Reactor: That isn't exactly an error, but it more or less states your opinion on mapping. However it does look better with mountain sides, so thanks for pointing that out I guess lol.

@MinorThreat: whoops x_x I wouldn't have ever guess...I don't play those games XD Well, I've never beaten them. I loose interest too quickly lol.

@Libra: Good idea :D Like I said, the map is nowhere close to being finished. NPCs, finalizing the houses, tileset, etc, etc. So I'll defnitely add a sign! And as Saiyu said, the Gym Leader for the city is already completed, and she's an active leader, so there isn't much chance I'll be removing her lol.

@Heavy Octillery & Libra: Heheh :3 Saiyu is right, the Toucan currently is, and always was my favorite Pokemon in Outa. I don't know if it's exactly the mascot of Outa, because Outa has several mascots that take the mascot appearance, like Aipom in the title screen, the Toucan under the title, and Elatt represents the storyline of a new beginning, similiar to how Pikachu symbolized a new beginning in the anime.


And yes, as I've stated previously, Saiyu is staff, and at any time can answer the questions, unless of course she doesn't know them. Since for the most part, she probably already knows what I would say : p

Thanks for the comments guys! I'm working really hard to bring you guys something special for the update! Just wait! lol.
