Pokemon Sandstone Version

Pokemon Sandstone Version

Team Rocket is Back! After the death of Giovanni team team rocket virtually disappeared. During those two years team rocket broke off into separate groups focusing on their type of pokemon. These groups rivaled each other and split into different regions. One of these groups snuck into the up an coming region of (Name to Come) in this region they hid under cover while they were illegally shipping pokeballs each holding a powerful pokemon.
Two years later Giovanni's son has banded together a group of powerful team rocket administrators. Each of these administrators found a group of the split team rockets. All of these teams agreed to join Giovanni's son without knowing the other teams were joining too. All of the teams moved out of their region and joined the team in the region of (Name to Come). Over the next year these teams each made a base. These teams who have now joined to become one each have their own plans. Giovanni's son has his plan but, guess what, they don't listen. You see, these little teams still view themselves as separate and they don't really get along.
As a new trainer in this region you get to travel the region. With your easy going character (boy) or your girly attitude (girl) you set off to explore this region.
The region is made up of 3 main islands that are based on Hawaii. These islands were found by a group of explorers from both Kanto and Johto. They argued over who should get the islands. Ten years after they were found they became a separate region governed by the head of Battle Tower.
50 years later...​

Main Story Addition 1:
There used to be five team rocket sections. Now there are four. The one team that does not exist anymore killed Giovanni. Within 24 hours of the murder each and every member on this break away team was hunted down and killed. This killing caused the police to go mad and yet they never found out why it happened. Well, we know.

my advice, as always, is to base your new region off a place in Japan like the normal regions or off a group of islands, like the Sevii islands were. it usually ends up looking much better than when people make something up from scratch.

Pokemon sandstone version

it is based off hawii

[LynnCreed]

my bad. kind of skimmed.

(apparently I need more letters in my post to reply)

 

[Ty 101]

I just added a major update.

 

[Hall Of Famer]

The storyline is very interesting, and I can see this is a very carefully planned fan game that deserves attention. The maps look fine, but I strongly advise you to replace the old FR/LG tiles with a new tileset. You make make much more impressive and gorgeous maps this way.

Anyway, it's hard to work on everything alone. I will constantly check out this thread and leave comments if necessary. Keep up the good work!

 

[Dawson]

Your maps could use quite a bit of work, to be honest. There isn't much detail or variation at all.

For a start, the two towns don't have any paths on them. If people are living there, they'd either have built paths or trails would've naturally formed due to the constant flow of people walking the same directions.

Secondly, Square Crossing looks very boring with those huge squares of the same tile. Same goes for that crap load of long grass on Amethyst Isle.

You have limitless options with RMXP tilesets, so use them. Variety is the spice of life, afterall.

 

[Ty 101]

I am switching to d/p/p tiles for the next version.
I need to get my rom working first.
I will be doing a lot of ripping.
I have already decided that I will make the maps bigger and less boring.
Less boring means that the maps will look reletivly the same but there will be different grasses and a much improved square crossing. (And better names.)
I will update the first post later today.
A nice pokedex will be in there too.
The next version will have a animated title sequence.

The only thing holding me back is the competition.

I need help!
I have a lot more work done than I am showing you and I will add the work after the next release.
The release will be anywhere from 6-15 days from now.

 

[Xelios]

Ty 101, Aren't those maps a bit mechanical.. even the environment looks so..
I Think if u could make them more varied then it would work wonders.......


nyways, gud luck for ur game...!!!:)

 

[Ty 101]

Thanks for your comments.
The visual aspect of the game will soon get a makeover.
The whole point of this release is to have a story and a small amount of area.
I guess that if you know what you are doing you should be playing a 30 minute beta.
There will be lengthening for the next beta.

 

[Sage of Redemption]

the maps look good, but screenshots would be appreciated, and with the maps, simplicity is key.

screenshots are coming soon.

 

[DamianLeonhart]

Even with different tiles, your maps are still very square and are quite bland. They could use some work. Hope to see some updates of them.

 

[Ty 101]

Yeah.
The maps are getting a complete makeover.
They will only barely resemble the current ones.
For now the main thing I would like comments on is the story.

 

[Ty 101]

notice

If I can't double post tell me.
I just wanted it to appear as though there is a new post in the thread.
And on to business.

I have added 3 more rewards for the contest.
I am desperate to get a contestant.

I also added a new map.

I am desperate for help.
If you want to trade I will.
I will have many new materials to trade soon.

 

[Ty 101]

Sorry for triple posting.

Sorry for triple posting.
I haven't been able to get any replys.
Hopefully the new demo will get me some.

 

[Tyro 101]

Hi ty101 its your best friend

I really like the storyline. COOL!

 

[Ac1d]

with the boat on the first map, Make the rocks only surround the dock, else if, in the future you wished for that boat to be moving to another island, It would be rather strange :P

 

[Tyro 101]

I would have to agree with ac1d you could mabye put police or swimmers blocking an opening saying you cant go ferther

 

[Hall Of Famer]

Any updates for this game? Did you make new maps?
