    At the moment I have nothing concrete to show you guys, but that might change soon.
    Tylerab01 has agreed to be PU:S's spriter, so I hope to show you some screenies within one or two weeks.

    EDIT:
    Progress is a little stalled, because I have an error on the "pokecenter-entering" event and on another place which also is an entering event.

    Alright, your story is unique and interesting. I have some questions for you that you might already know, and are just withholding to build suspense, which is awesome, but if not, should hopefully point you in the right direction.

    1. Who is the antagonist?
    2. Is there an evil Team? If so, what are their goals?
    3. Are the people below the earth aware of life above them?
    4. Is technology 100% identical? If not, what is different? Can this be incorporated as a game feature? If so, how did they get this technology?
    5. Are Pokemon commonly used in the region for self-defense?
    6. Is there a gym league? Will the plot require the protagonist to complete the League (this is not mandatory, and I admire games without gyms, but its important to know)
    And most importantly:
    7. In the end, do you have a way for the protagonist to get home?

    You don't need to give me the answers to all these questions, but they're good to think about.

    Hope I helped, and good luck!

    Glad you like the idea :). As for those questions:

    1. Under development (hopefully to be released soon)
    2. I'm not 100% sure there will be one.
    3. Secret :)
    4. I'm not sure yet. It heavily depends on the sprites.
    5. On this part, this game follows the original games. So, they are used for battles, but also as friends.
    6. Part of the storyline, so you have to play it to find out.
    7. Secret :)
     
    UPDATE:

    I made some adjustments to the following points graphic-wise:

    Pokedex
    Pokedex-info (info about pokemon)
    Fightingscreen (the bar at the bottom of the screen)

    Screens will be posted as soon as possible.

    UPDATE2:

    Screens are finally posted (first post of course)

    Glad you're so fond with the storyline :)

    UPDATE:

    Bug with entering pokecenter is fixed. Still don't know what caused it though :P

    Secondly, a friend has agreed to be a mapper for PU: S (icequeenzz)
     
    After 2 weeks doing nothing but school I have to put this project on hold for unknown time. Because it won't clear up at school :(.
    I'll be back ASAP with updates.

    EDIT: I'm back for atleast a full week. (may vacation or atleast, so do we call it :))
    I will be working on this almost every single day the next week for atleast 6-8 hours (kinda like to use the word atleast, i guess :P)
    If you wanna help, just contact me, as the whole team has crumble, leaving me alone :'(.

    I'd offer help, but I'm mostly around for story writing purposes. I'm not that great of a mapper yet and my scripting needs work. Still, this project seems promising. I agree with Bard on the plot points; it's a unique and well thought out start, but it also needs a lot of development to make it work.

    I look forward to seeing any new screen shots and progress you make.
