Pokémon Zircon

[Trace]

@CollosalPokemon: Thank you very much! Actually, we had to have a tileset change. (You'll see in a later update why.)

@D.aisuke: What 4G graphics are you referring to? Like, in-battle sprites? Overworlds? Tiles?
Kimodus (to me anyways) looks like a steel type, (first impression wouldn't strike me as a dragon type for some reason), so I would use fire type. Fire type would hardly scratch dragon or fire type, thus giving Kimodus a small advantage.

@Curt200718: Thanks. I plan for the first demo to go up to two or three gyms.

~Thanks for the feedback, guys. I appreciate it. :D

Wow amazing! I can see you put a lot of effort towards this update! I love to see that you're using the platinum trees, they look great! The pokezone building is too small to hold both a mart and a Pokecenter though. The white rock idea is ok. Here's my guess: 00254.

Thanks!
Yeah, I'm going to be changing the building tiles, it is far too small.

Sorry, that's not the right number.

wow trace
You showed me a few of them but still great job!
the tiles look great, I love the pokecenter and the mart,
the wight rock is great but.........the hero again it looks like a simple edit, i've seen your spriters work they are great! I know that simplicity is great but they are a bit too simple.

Thanks.
Well, the heroes aren't the main focus of the game, so we decided for simplicity.
Looks like we got our goal.

wow cool update ^-^
maybe you could try makeing the screenshots in PNG format i cant really see the detail much

[Pokehero22]

My guess is.... 23531

Pretty random

[Neo-Dragon]

Only noticed this game now. Looks pretty cool. Like the new trees and the Pokezone thing. I also like the idea of craving a number into the rock to battle the legendary, really neat idea that fits well into Pokemon.
Good luck mate.

Everything really. Sprites, overworlds and tiles.

It does look like a steel type. but It's pretty cool, I like the designs

[Lmayonaise]

This looks crap, because there is no originality, creativity, etc evidenced from the screenshots or the information.

You must be blind and incapable of reading. First, custom sprites in the pc, for the character, a dark tone to many of the screenshots. Second, did you even read the story. It's not from pokemon at all, I would call that originality. Lastly, ever heard of constructive criticism, apparently not. You can post all day about how much you don't like the game, but calling it crap is immature. If you don't like it then post exactly what you don't like about it and maybe some suggestions. Don't expect any of your ideas to be taken into mind because this isn't your game and if you think you can do better than this, then why don't you make your own game.

Personally, I feel this game has plenty of originality about it. Its very well mapped out and I like the battle screenshot that was shown. Keep up the great work Trace and ignore Lmayonaise, you have the beginnings of a great game here.

Sorry, it's Photobucket converting .bmps into .jpgs. But I'll see what I can do.

Do you have legitimate evidence this game is not creative or original?

~Well, didn't think I'd get that many replies. I'm getting a list of what I'm going to update on next, expect more information on the PokeZones!

[Xaviar]

I really like the screenshots!

Is there any hope for custom battle backgrounds?

[Curt200718]

Lookin good trace keep up the good work...

~I've decided at 50 non-spam replies, I'll post the next update. I'll try and make it interesting, with screenshots and things.

[Pokehero22]

*eyes thread and nods*

Still looking Good Trace. Keep it up!

O_O I didn't expect a reply that quick.

Thanks!

[O.G. Duke]

Oh. Trace. You're getting better and better!
You've improved a lot. Really.
I like the white rock event very much. Very unique. Good luck!

[SL1MSHADY]

i think this project could be a smash hit!
do u want help mapping?
im a mediocre mapper, if i do say so myself!

[TeddiursaFan]

The prologues are pretty good, and the white rock event doesn't seem like the best idea. Actually, it's too early to say if it's good or not because not much have been revealed besides the parts where guessing is included . Does the event relate to the legendary in the event in ways of past or something like that? Was just wondering. Maybe the number has to do with the legendary's past like the day something happened. Maybe the the legendary was sealed in a room of the cave and you need to know the day it happened and the item to release it (by capturing it). These are just guesses of what happened. Hmmm... I'm surprised no one guessed 12345.

Thanks a lot, Omega! Yeah, I've seen a lot of improvement in my skills over the past 6 months.

Actually, I'm quite decent and fast at mapping, so I'll have to decline. Sorry.

You are half correct; it's about a legendary, but the numbers aren't that specific to the legendary, but to something else.
12345? Cmon, man. It's not that easy.

~Next update will include: Mining Event, More Prologue.

I don't want to sound like an arse or anything, but the graphics are hideous.
Otherwise, interesting plot, good luck .
