Pokémon Garnet Version~

This is simply amazing work, the detail of the water at the beach... keep up the brilliant work!

in case u did int get what i meant about movement sprites example when u look at ur party they move ilke in d/p/P i think that would give the game a n awsome feel or when they first appear in battle will they move??

I stumbled on one of the OP's posts in another PokeCommunity forum, and I noticed the banner in the sig about his Pokemon Garnet Version. So, I stopped by to check things out:

1. I think I could literally fall asleep in Shadefern Woods & Ruins... Those screenshots just looked amazing... beautiful, and so breathtaking! :D Seriously. Those were probably the best screens I've seen for a 'handheld' game... If those locales made it into Generation 5, I'll probably replay the game 100 times just to re-enter those gorgeous locations...

2. Nice design on the player characters! I like the design of the male character a lot, so much so that I'm considering replacing one of the character designs in a fanfic/shonen story I'm working on (if that's okay). The hair especially looks cool on him.

3. Even though the menu is from RSE, great job on the backgrounds for the battle scenes! At first I thought that the gradients that I've seen in DPPt and HG/SS were cool...but those backgrounds just blew me away, in a sense.
Having refreshing backgrounds like that in a game could make battles way more lively and brighten up the bland backgrounds from games past. Here's hoping that the DS is pushed to greater limits with backgrounds like that in Generation 5! :)

4. Gym Leader Colette looks so cute! It'd be awesome if she made it in an actual game...

Good luck with Pokemon Garnet Version, and I can't wait to see how awesome this project turns out to be!

Answers time!

Okay, as usual!
Firstly I have to thank you all! Then let's discuss those questions.

i do have a few questions

1. Will you be making your own music for this game?
2. Are you going to be able to go to other regions?
3. And....i forgot my 3rd question xD

1. We have our personal musician, Skaylea which compose every piece of music and remixes the classic ones (Pkmn center/ Mart, Gym ecc...)
2. For the first complete release of the game no. In a future maybe... there will be something like this, maybe limited to Hoenn only.

Yes, that was what i meant... unfortunately we would like to avoid this feature for the game. We first want to bring a more simple product. Then, if there's time, a "deluxe version" would be nice, but don't hope a lot. The team haven't figured out about it...

Thanks to Fenix4 who made a little-review of some parts. I'm really glad you liked the locations and light effects, indeed are the most important thing I do for Garnet xD
The team would like to thank you for your apreciatement about characters and backgrounds (Blazeknight's and Kuroda's work).
Aaand... for the menu we have to wait. I'm seriously hoping in a talented scripter for heavy works.

I'm making a list of what type of team-mates Garnet needs. I will write it on the first post. Be sure of take a look before leaving. è_è

it's been a while and i must say those sceenshots are looking great.
The bridge looks really good and i wonder.
Are you going to use a bridge(like the bridge is under construction) to block the player that he can get further before he finished an event?

This game looks amazing!

can you export it as an NDS file?

Ahahah! I will make you our official "question-maker!" XD
Don't worry! Questions are important to understand a game!

1. No underground... You will be able to dig somewhere to find rocks/ fossils. The fossils need to be cleaned.
2.Sure they will remain stone-based evolutions. As there are a lot of fakes (180 ca), there will be a lot of item-based evolutions but also new methods.
3-4. Haven't figured out about customizable zones...
5. No, there will be another type of contest anyway.
6. Yes! A custom battle frontier with new challenges.
7. Currently our pokédex doesn't need it.
8. Gyms will be really different from the original ones. Prepare yourself to battle open-air or find gym-leader in creepy-looking manors. Every Gym leader will have its own special features and style, more like in the anime than in the videogames.

serious

:Dcool thanx or answering my questions and the game sounds like it could revolutionize the pokemon world!!!

I'm totally falling in love with this game again I'm so friggin excited, I can't wait to play through these maps!

Egads, a question!

I thought up a question! :o Well, the real Pokemon games have guidebooks and Prima Guides to accompany them, which contain the complete Pokedex for that region, information about the area and it's special locations, as well as interesting artwork from the games and more... now obviously you can't print such a guide for your game, but do you plan to make a website with all that information? I'm sure that it would be very helpful. :)

Yea, It would be really helpfull if their was a pokedex of the fakemons, that contains: stats, moves (lvl they know it on), TM/HM list, location and evolution methode.
actually a bit like the serebi-pokedex, but with your own persenal touch.

I'm glad that someone agrees with me! If no such help-site is made, I might make my own. :3

A website is currently our project... we have got concept arts and it will be good to make a sort of "pre-release" site with concept arts and some fakemons. The pokedex would take long to be made but quite useful for a fan-game. Well. A website will surely exist. The pokédex is a nice add, i will take it in consideration! Thank you :3

I PMed you about it, but a wiki sounds like a perfect solution for that sort of thing, you can post a medley of information about each Pokemon, Character, etc.

Thanks for the quick response, and that's exactly the answer I was hoping for! ^_^

A wiki is a great idea. Although a wiki just for one fangame may be a little much, but if we had a PokéCommunity wiki...
