[Developing] Pokémon Silicon

[Makattack202]

So after a few years of attempting to ROM hack, I have now moved instead to Pokemon Essentials.
This is my first fangame, or game in general, so I am a beginner at this. Pokemon Essentials is far more flexible and at least easier than Rom Hacking. Or at least to me, it is.
PLEASE NOTE: Any and all screenshots and information that is listed is subject to change.

Pokémon Silicon

Plot

Spoiler:

The Eolas Region is a region of many tales. Some of life, some of death, yet many of adventure.

You are a child at Saol Town, a village said to be flowing with life energy. However, you and your two friends one day meet a mysterious man in white. He pulls out three Pokeballs.
"Take one." he says.
Just as quickly as he appears, he departs. Having each picked their partners, you and your friends depart to write your own tale. Your own story.
There are many unanswered questions.
Who was that man?
Why did he give us these Pokemon?
And what mysteries are hidden in this region?

Pokemon Silicon follows the traditional Pokemon formula, with there being eight gym leaders to battle.

Features

Spoiler:

All 718 Pokemon
Shadow Pokemon

Characters

Spoiler:

Main Characters
Male: Danny

*If anyone would like to revise this sprite, go ahead.
Female: Annie

These are the playable characters, born in Saol Town and greeted by the mysterious man.
Rivals
Tyson

One of your best friends and rivals. Tyson is rather brash and reckless, and is prone to bragging and insults. Why are you friends with him again?

Aria

One of your best friends and rivals. Unlike Tyson, Aria is a lot more caring and friendly. Beware of her puns.

Gym Leaders
Judie

Gym Leader of Briomhar City, Judie specializes in Fighting-Type Pokemon. Don't let her looks deceive you. She packs a punch.

Grayson

Gym Leader of Scath City, Grayson is a Dark-Type master. Somehow, he manages to be cold yet inviting at the same time.

Burnard

Gym Leader of Sasta City, Burnard has some of the fieriest... Er, Fire types around. Ask him about his #4 special. I hear it is good.

???

Nobody knows who these masked men are, or what their goal is.
Every time they appear, disaster quickly follows.

Progress
The game is currently in a very early Alpha. Most areas are still being mapped, and many events and character sprites have yet to be made.
I should note, while I can handle the eventmaking and storyboarding, I am not so sure about the mapping and spriting. While I can do both of those on my own, if anyone would like to revise any of my sprites, I would happily welcome you. And mapping advice would be nice as well.

Screenshots

Spoiler:

Saol Town: Your starting Town. It's centerpiece is the Tree of Life, said to give good fortune.
*Yeah. There's a mistake over at the top. I already changed it.

Spoiler:

Turas Town is a town formed almost solely on the basis of mining fossils.

New types are always fun to play around with. Keep up the good work.

 

[mustafa505]

You should work out with the maps, the forest is empty, and the city has empty spaces, the walking tiles have no unique connection, they look symmetrical, try something random, like the randomness of Turas Town.

Sounds interesting.I love the fact that your region design is based on Ireland. Such a beautiful place. The outline always reminded me of a fairy, haha. The features are pretty cool. I like the idea of harder gyms. That'll certainly make things more challenging.

A couple of things I'm wondering about... Do you already have ideas for possible fakemon or is that just something that you're considering adding? Also, do you plan to have other explorable regions later on?

I do have a few ideas for Fakemon. The reason that I am unsure of adding them is because I both doubt that I have enough ideas, and that I am not good at spriting from scratch.

And I may consider making a new region, but I would rather finish what I have before I make it.

Ah. I get what you mean about the fakemon. And the reason I was asking about another region is because it sounds difficult to squeeze all 718 Pokemon into just one region.

 

[Makattack202]

Alright, I can now say that Delta Pokemon are now implemented, as well as all of the new types.
Unlike normal Pokemon, Delta Pokemon are going to be very few in number. You won't be able to find them in the wild naturally, and can only be found in sidequests and in a few hidden areas.
A few examples of them are right here.

Spoiler:

Deltas are able to be one of the new types as well.

And while we're at it, here's a look at the new Pokedex. Or at least how I recolored it... You get the point.

Fun fact: As there are a whopping 95 Delta Pokemon, they will have a special Delta Pokedex. This will make it at least a little easier to track how many of them you have.

Since I'm in a good mood, I'll show off another Mega as well. The aforementioned Dragoniteite obviously has to have a Mega to go with it.

Mega Dragonite

Spoiler:

Type: Dragon/Flying
Ability: Tough Claws
Base Stats:
HP-91
Atk-164 (+30)
Def-105 (+10)
Sp. Atk-130 (+30)
Sp. Def-110 (+10)
Spe-100 (+20)
*I am tempted to rename his megastone to Dragite just to make Tomadd123 hate me.

Mega Dragonite here is a monster. Tough Claws really compliments that high Attack and good movepool.
Aside from the ones I have already shown, there are still many more Mega Evolutions I have yet to show.
[S-HIGHLIGHT]If anyone would like to submit their own, though, I would be fine with it.[/S-HIGHLIGHT]

[Galbatorix]

OMG!! Looks great, can't wait for it to come out!

 

[Makattack202]

OMG!! Looks great, can't wait for it to come out!

Thanks.
I need to go ahead and state that this project is still alive.... Barely. Definitely not dead.

I wouldn't expect a beta or demo for a long time, though...

 

[Makattack202]

Alright then. Progress on the game has been pulled back. But for a good reason.
I have an absolutely wonderful tileset and have been remodeling most of the maps.
So far I've only remodeled Saol Town and Turas Town.
How about we have a little comparison?
Saol Town

Spoiler:

Old Saol Town. I did make a few revisions to it before remaking it, but those revisions mostly carried over.

New Saol Town. The new tiles gives me a lot more to work with.

Turas Town

Spoiler:

Old Turas Town. It was a little weird in design before, but still looked alright.

(No explanation needed)

I say kudos to the people that made the tilesets and allowed me to use them. These tiles all look really nice.
I of course gave credit to them. Check it out if you'd like.
