[Demo] Pokémon XENOTIME

[Peeky Chew]

@Nightrider434343: Thanks. The tiles are made by a selection of people, credited on the front page. All have been edited by me with my own custom pallets. The menu's being improved soon.

@shadowtogepi: See below post.

@pikarich: Yes, I did mean bottom left, I can't beleive I did that. Although, while typing this I automatically wrote right in the last sentence...
We could disclose the hometowns name, but I don't think it matches it anymore so it'll need a new one. Anyone got any suggestions? Yeah, aggreed. Of course you can, I was actually going to ask you to. Maybe there could be a choice, they tell you a riddle, or you give them $20,000?

@Amore: That's right! Congratulations, you now get to "be" a major character, decide his lines and even what he looks like!
You're actually the second person to guess correctly, Kyledove pm'd me with the right answer but said he wanted someone else to win. Edit: Forgot to reply to the rest of your post xD. Thank you, I've tried really hard to get the graphics this good
And if everyone is wondering what exactly the part it's based off looked like, look at this:


So quite similar to North Wales then

@the-kahr: Cheating isn't allowed.

Update:

I've changed the map as I forgot to include a desert. this time, I think I'll explain the parts in a little more detail. The big blue town at the left connects to the desert island by ferry. The desert island connects to the eastern one by plane. The red town in the middle of the sea is based off Pacifidlog town in Hoenn. You'll have to travel there and the connecting town by surfing. I've changed the top of Kindle Woods to have Auntumn trees, this will be shown in a future update.

For anyone who doesn't view Deviantart much, I've now set up an account there. I'll usually from now on post new screens and anything else to do with the game a couple of days in advance of here, so make sure you check it out: http://peekychew.deviantart.com/

Cool.That's the first time i've ever actually guessed something right on here.

Do I decide what pokemon this person has?

Great! You decide practically everything about them you want to. Their lines/Pokemon/looks, you could even make them evil!

[Amore]

Mint....

How about....

He's on a quest to capture Rayquaza, and thinks you want it too, so every time you meet, you battle?But then in the end, you team up to take down Rayquaza?

Obviously, if you don't want Rayquaza in your game, ignore that.

[Peeky Chew]

Sounds great, since Rayquaza is actualy one of the few legendarys to be included in the game. We should probably move to VM as to not clutter up the thread, btw.

[Maruno]

Fair enough. I was just way too zoomed out. I could say something about sci-fi writers having no sense of scale, but I'm not sure how many people would get it.

Seems a bit of a waste to have over half your map filled with sea, though (particularly sea you can't go on). Is it supposed to be a small region?

[pikarich]

Congratulations to Amore for winning! I can already imagine what your character could do...
Anyways, there is already a quest I made for Rayquaza, but it is patchy, and I like your idea better, so I think I can help with your idea. Also Peeky, aren't all the legendaries included in the game? We have quests for Mew and Mewtwo already.
And yeah, I would love to design the riddles. I'll get cracking soon, expect an update in the next week or so.
As head of storyline, I congarulate you for winning a part in the game! Yay! Also, while we're on that topic, since I'm in charge of all the plots and such, I'd like to hold a contest to design the name of the hometown. It's a small place with only a few houses (very similar to Pallet and Twinleaf) and has a beautiful golden beach. The current name is GoldLotus, so submit your ideas, and whichever one I like best will be included in the game! (If it's OK with Peeky.)

[shadowtogepi]

domus town?
domus is latin for home, so it kind of fits

[Peeky Chew]

@Shun: Well, the island is the isle of wight. If I hadn't created the map I'd probably never have guessed. Yeah, it is. First person to notice!

@Maruno: Well in the official games they're way, way to zoomed out. I did try to keep the scale realistic. I'm in the process of improving that, maybe by extending the region east a little and adding or extending an island.

@pikarich: All of the legendarys will be included in the game, but they won't all be given indivisual quests. Only the "good" ones will. Sure you can hold another contest, although it seems people are already entering.
So everyone can get an idea of the name needed, here's the latest map:


@shadowtogepi: The meaning is kind of good, but the name it's self doesn't fit at all...

[Shun]

Nice map! It looks good... I do have one thing to say though... And, that thing is that the trees do not seem to work well clumped together, (But this is my opinion... It is up to you.)

[Amore]

I have to agree, actually.I'm no expert, but they look...cramped.

But will people playing the game be able to see all those trees, or just some of them?

Piazza Town?? (Italian for square)
Quadrat Town?? (Catalan for square)
Platja Town?? (Catalan for beach)
Spiaggia Town?? (Italian for beach)
Terra de Sol?? (Catalan for Sunny Shore.)
Giaciglio/Pagliericcio Town? (both Italian for Pallet)

Lol, just felt like contributing. My ideas on names aren't that good, seeing as I only like two languages


And, umm...Pikarich, what exactly can you imagine my character doing??(say by VM plz)

[pikarich]

No, the player will only be able to see some of them.
And I kinda like Piazza, but the others are a little too, shall we say, continental?
And VM comin' up.

[Alliehj]

I like the map, but seriously.. those are a lot of trees on the left side, maybe a little garden or something would be more in its place their. I like almost evrything about this game so far so i'll be sure to keep my eye on it!

[Manio]

One of the best looking maps, and custom sprites I've seen. You, have yourselves a follower.

I GET IT! TVTropes, right?





Referring to the map, I'm no good with places. But basing it on a real place is great - after all, that's how the regions in the game are made, though they don't follow so closely. Are you gonna base towns and routes on real areas as well? Obviously it will be harder since towns and routes in Pokemon are tiny. Do you need maps? I'm not sure if I could actually make them for you since I don't have the right program, but I have some sketches I drew. I could draw more for your game. I really like it.

[CrieonX]

Nice H@ck, Sprites and Overworlds nice.

Don't stop it!

[shadowtogepi]

I have a new idea now. if I can : waterbush

[Fierce Deity H]

Seeing as my names are still being used I thaught I'd see if I can give you another name, I thaught of the following:

Littlebeech
Littlebeach
Sandpalm
Cocopalm
Cocobeach
Cocobay
Palmbay
Palm Bay
Sandbay
Sand Bay
Sandybay


Add town/city or whatever you want to add to it if you wish to use them

It's not a hack.This game's been made from scratch by these guys.

[Yuzuki]

Man you mapping fantastic your chipsets are very good they look wounderfull and with the weather effects combined.
I can say Wow very good work.
Keep it up.

regards
-Yuzuki-

[KingCharizard]

your map is fine, I just dont like the way the sand and water connects, it just looks odd..

[Iyo]

you've all got a fan outta me. Keep up the good work... Whoever it is that comes up with storylines, give me a PM or VM as i got a few ideas you might be interested in... But yeah... Looking forward to a beta when you launch it. keep going!

[Wichu]

The one thing I dislike about that map is that it's very linear. The whole thing unfolds to pretty much a straight path between the small northwestern town and the town immediately southeast of it. There are only two diversions from the route, and absolutely no loops whatsoever; each of the official maps has at least two loops (for example, Kanto has a few, including these Pallet -> Viridian -> Cerulean -> Saffron -> Celadon -> Fuchsia -> Cinnabar -> Pallet, and Cerulean -> Saffron -> Lavender -> Cerulean). These provide opportunities for shortcuts if you make them HM/item dependent (Pewter -> Vermillion once you get Cut), make the region more interesting to explore (several routes in Hoenn, like Route 123, were completely optional), and make it less boring to backtrack (which I can see there being a lot of in your region).

[pikarich]

Uh, what what what? I don't get it. That map is of the starting town and it leads up north to Larcoon. It's probably gonna be possible to come back using Surf; there'll probably be some legendary quest islands or something.
