[Essentials] Help Create Pokemon Love and Hatred

(First time ever doing something like this, let's see how it goes) I've never have considered myself a programmer. My expertise is in art and spriting, but yet despite this, I have made maaaany attempts to create a Pokémon fangame, just cuz I felt so inspired by the talent and projects around me! Unfortunately, pretty much all my attempts failed and never saw the light of day! I was very young at the time when I was doing this. I lacked proper professionalism, my sprite quality was a lot poorer than it is now, and at the time I had the issue of relying on people to do everything for me. So yeah, no way in heck would anyone want to work for someone like that. However, years passed, I learned to be a more competent and useful project leader, my spritework improved (to the best of my ability. I find that I especially excel in gen 2 styled sprites!), and I no longer BEG people to join my project. Buuut, I still can't really code... And until recently all I've done was make trainer sprites as a hobbie. Recently I made a custom set of gym leaders and posted them to the pokecommunity discord. One of the members was impressed by my character creation and spritework so much that they hit me up in dm's and offered to help make a fangame with me including said gym leaders! And thus, Pokémon Love and Hatred was born! Our team has grown slightly more since then, but it wouldn't hurt to recruit a feeew more to decrease stress and keep a stedy dev flow!





Travel through the region of Arejo, collect the 8 gym badges, and tackle the Arejo league to become the very best! But watch out, Team Null is planning something, and you may run into them once or twice during your adventure.

Features planned as of right now:

-A new region to explore
-Pokémon from generations 1 to 9 (if at all possible)
-Nightmare and dream Pokémon forms
-New Mega Evolutions
-New Gigantamax forms
-An intriqite story with plot twists and character development, without going too past the boundaries of what were used to seeing in Pokémon.
-And more!

Protagonists:

Hello! I love the concept of creating nightmare and dream versions of pokémon: unfortunately I already have another project to think about, but I would love to be able to help out with the concepts of the new Pokémon! If you need a hand, even if I don't think I can help much, don't hesitate to ask: I already have a lot of ideas going through my head!

unfortunately I don't have a graphic tablet, I draw on paper, but I'm trying my hand at pixel art little by little!
