Team Stone (Recruiting & Tile Inserter Needed Desperately)
Team Stone
Introduction
Welcome to Team Stone!
I am attempting to start a small team, no more than four or five people (just because it's always much easier to work towards the same goal when there's less of you), to make the hack Pokemon Stone, and possibly future hacks if it works well. I origianly tried to make Pokemon Stone on my own, but I am not skilled enough to do that and kept on encountering problems I could not solve, so I decided I would need help with the creation. Also, Pokemon Stone will include a lot of fakemon, and although I hold my powers of creativity in high esteem, I would likely run out of ideas and end up producing sub-par fakemon. Therefore, I will need other members of this team to contribute ideas towards fakemon, plot, towns, trainers, gyms, etc. as many or as few as they want. Pokemon Stone will be based largely around the Classics (Ancient Italy and Greece) because I have a passion for them so any intrest in Greek Myths, Roman life or anything like that would be a massive bonus. Although I can map and sprite reasonably well, and I have plenty of good (in my opinion) fakemon and plot ideas, anyone who can map, sprite, script, create tiles, or has experience putting all of those concepts into a working game would be welcome in this group, though I will need at least one person with each of those skills eventually.
As a last note, I aim for this to be a friendly group where everyone enjoys the creation of this game, and helps others if they encounter any problems to the best of their ability. So please, if you like Classics, want to help with this project, or just want to improve your skills in a fun way, join Team Stone.

Pokemon Stone
The details about the game are a bit mish-mash at the moment but will hopefully evolve into a succinct story soon enough. All aspects of this will be constantly updated. If you don't know any of the myths I refer to, look them up, they're all intresting.
Plot
The game begins with a mysterious man doing the whole professor speech (he is NOT a proffesor though), then he will tell you that you have a great destiny, and an evil force is rising in the Solum region. He will then give you a choice of starters during the opening scene, after which you will wake up in your bedroom. You discover you still have your starter, and you go outside where you meet your nextdoor neighbor who is also your best freind, and you find she also received a pokemon (starter weak to yours) from a mysterious man, who also told her to go to the nearest town. There you meet a boy who received the last starter (strong against yours) in a dream etc. He has been told to go to the Town based on Rome, but since there is a tree in the way, you go to the first gym to be able to use cut.
After that I do not have the majority of the details, but the basic gist of it is that the mysterious man (or actually the mysterious men, each of you has a seperate one) are actually three pokemon based on Zeus, Posiden and Hades which have created the illusion of human shape, but actually have the form of eagle, horse and bat based pokemon respectively. There is no evil team, but just a ledgendary pokemon based on Gaia who is trying to remove all other ledgendary pokemon in order to be the most powerful. She also creates minions out of the soil which have humanshape and take the place of grunts and battle with you with pokemon to try and stop you stopping Gaia.
You have to free the Trio (improsoned by Gaia), and then free and capture a pokemon based on Ouranos (also imprisoned by Gaia), which you use to defeat Gaia eventually. The Trio will only be capturable after you defeat Gaia.
The other two starter owners help you through all of this and the girl (who was visited by Posiden) has a team based on Posiden (Water types, Ground Types, Equine Pokemon and Cyclopian pokemon) and the boy (who was visited by Hades) has a team based on Hades (Ghost, Fire, Dark types, Bat pokemon, and anything else with a strong connection to death.
Pokedex
I haven't got an order of Pokemon yet, but as well as all of the Fakemon in the following section, the following will be included, either because I really like them or because they fit well with an important character. In no particular order:
Syther Line
Skarmory
Minun
Plusle
Ralts Line
Ledyba Line
Spinarak Line
Zubat Line
Duskull Line
Frillish Line
Drillbur Line
Horsea Line
I'm pretty sure there were more I wanted to include, and there is plenty of space left so if there are any I've missed out that you really like just tell me and I'll probably shove them in.
Fakemon
I have lots of ideas for fakemon, in varying degrees of finished-ness. Eventually this section will be a poxedex of sorts, but for now it is just a brief overview of each one. Feel free to submit your own ideas, but I'm a bit of a perfectionist so I may turn them down, and ideally they should be based off Greek Myths.
All sprites are subject to change, tell me if there's anything you think needs changing, I won't bite.
Pompip: A base stage pokemon whose line is based on Persephone and the myth of Hades kidnapping her. Grass type, but has a penchant for dark type moves. Possible grass starter.
Persepom: The evolution of Pompip. Gains a dark type, and the ability to learn some psycic moves though TM.
Kore: The evolution of Persepom. Gains some fire type moves through level up, since she is based on the goddess of the underworld.
The Fire starter will be based on Cerberus, and be made out of hot coals, and have metal collars etc. The final stage will be Fire/Steel.
The Water starter will be based on Roman architecture such as Aquaducts and Baths, and the final stage will be Water/Rock.
The Regional Rodent (not actually a rodent) will be a wolf who's final stage is based on Lupa (wolf which raised Romulus and Remus) and the first stage is based on cadets and scouting.
The weak bug of the region will be based on a mosquito, the first to stages will be Bug/Water, and the last stage is a split evo based on Genders and the male is Bug/Grass and the female is Bug/Dark.
There will be a Poison/Bug line based on Bacteria and Locusts, the first stage will look like a bacteria cell and be a locust egg, and the second form will be a locust with aspects of bacteria in its design.
There will be a fakemon based on the myth of Narcissus, and the first stage is Normal/Steel, a humanshape creature but with a tail with an oval mirror on it, and the second stage is a pure Grass Flower based pokemon.
There will be a prevo of Skarmory based on the metal clad birds Heracles fought on one of his labours.
There will be a Evolution of Scyther (Not Scizor, it will be a split line) which is based off the grim reaper and Bug/Ice.
The Regions
The story will take place in two regions, based on Ancient Italy (Solum) and Ancient Greece (Koera).
In Solum there will be:
Your starting town, based off Herculanium.
The first four gyms.
Towns Based on Rome, Pompeii Naples.
The Pokemon League.
In Koera there will be:
The last four Gyms.
The mountain where you fight Gaia.
Towns based off Sparta and Athens.
The first gym will be situated in a town in a forest, be bug type, and a section of the forest will be the actual gym, which will contain trainers, hidden items, and wild pokemon.
In Conclusion
Sorry for my poor grammar and spelling, but I really need help with this project and I'm really passionate about finishing it. I really hope I meet some people who love Greek Myths as much as I while doing this, but if you don't know much about them at the moment you will by the end of this project.
