Created By Pokemon Sky SD and Orinjmate

This is a ROM hack set in a none existant region, called Austra.

​

The basis of the Pokemon - Sky SD is that your character is travelling this region, collecting the badges of the region. Through out the region there is a group of people, attempting to capture the Black Rayquaza that is said to enhabit the Region.


Your story begins on a small island, known as Kangaroo Island, the home of Prof. Oaks Austra Lab.
Your Dad has gone out that morning to gather things together for you to begin your journey as a trainer.
These include your starter:-
Swablu, Growlithe, and Phanpy.

Your Dad also gives you Trainers, a Town Map, 5 Poke Balls and a Pokedex.

He then asks you to investigate a mysterious group of people that steal Flying-Type Pokemon. He also mentions that he has asked two others to help him.

And so the adventure begins.


To Include: -
- New Sprites for many Pokemon.
- New Overworld sprites
- New Trainer Sprites
- Whole New Region
- The Mysterious 'Team Sky'
- A Black Rayquaza
- New HM to replace Rock Smash
- New Tiles
- Skateboard replacing the Bicycle
- Special Forms of the starters which are catchable later in the game. ~ Such as the Crowned Altaria
- Re-Vamped Pokedex
- A Series of Special optional events, based around specific Pokemon.

[Tropical Sunlight]

The screenshots look good so far! :)
What exactly does Fisherman Dave sell to you?

 

[DJ. Yabup 99]

I'm the other co-creator btw ;) also, the whole game isn't going to be on tropical islands, that is only for the beginning and later on once you have surf. :)

Fisherman Dave is a character inserted too sell you fishing rods at different points in the game. i.e. Sells you the old rod, ect.

edit:Watch the double posting ;)

 

[arcanineflames23]

Hey I have got to say, this game is AWESOME! I find this game so good! I really want to try it!

 

[PokemonSkySD]

thx for the support, we'll get a beta out as soon as possible, but there still a way too go.

 

[arcanineflames23]

Your welcome, but the game is looking great so far! Good luck!

 

[DJ. Yabup 99]

Your welcome, but the game is looking great so far! Good luck!

thx arcanineflames23! :)
beta 1 coming out soon!

 

[hun7er]

This looks good so far.The only thing i can't understand is the 3 starters.Phanpy can beat growlithe and swablu and they don't have any move that is super-effective on phanpy.I think that you should change swablu.

 

[altariaking]

NOOOOOO!!!!!
keep swablu :<
looks good so far, keep it up!

 

[arcanineflames23]

Your welcome mate, Waiting for beta one! By the can I be your beta tester?

 

[PokemonSkySD]

Growlithe get beat by Phanpy.
Phanpy's STAB is immune against Swablu.
Growlithe is more powerful that Swablu.

Thx for the comments.

Also the map for Edge Town is up for those that want too have a look.
The home of Taillows, and a single Swellow. The first major event in the story line is here.

EDIT: Arcanine yes, as soon as the next part is completed

They aren't supposed to be super effective against eachother as ur rival doesn't have one. Pokemon Project SD, please take that out thx.

 

[arcanineflames23]

Yayyyyyyy!!!! Thank you you both!

 

[DJ. Yabup 99]

The screenshots look really good, but... *looks at features* I don't see why you need new sprites for "all the main pokemon," unless by "main" you just mean the starters. If that's all, then yeah, sounds pretty cool.
Now based on the story, it looks like you're reusing the Oak's Parcel script. Bleh. It's interesting to pick and choose and reuse certain scripts, but I don't know that such an easily recognizable script so early in the game needs to be in a hack. But I digress.
The hack looks like it has potential. I look forward to seeing it completed.

I like your realisticness, but for new sprites we mean very small changes (other than starters and rayquaza) and we wanted to keep the Oak's parcel script, we could get rid of it if we wanted but we like the fact you have to go back to the beginning to get the pokedex, also it triggers the grunts blocking the way on king island to disappear which works really well. Other than that thanks :)

Edit: We may change the name, picture and description of Oak's Parcel to 5 pokeballs or 1 i'm not sure on the amount.

 

[simdu68]

looks really good so far!! great screens with great graphics ;)
but, the starters are maybe not well balanced enough......
usually the starters should be in a circle all three in inferiority and minority(I'm sure I have a grammar mistake in this phrase, sorry for my bad english :S)
and I can't see it in these 3 starters......
but I think it's still alright ;)
well so, looks great, keep up the good work ;)

 

[PokemonSkySD]

Thanks.
the starters are ment too be three different ways too play the game, as the rival is not going to have one.

 

[Nikolai Fox]

I like the look and sound of this hack.
I'd like to join as an assistant scripter.

Where I don't be one of your scripters, but if you think of some unorthodox scripts that you're not sure you can do, I can think of ways to do them. (Thinks like re-challengable trainers, a rock climb HM, stuff like that).

Just PM me if you're interested/ have any questions (Y)
