It turns out I had an older copy of MOT:AOF on my mediafire account, which means I don't need to start completely from scratch. To celebrate, I thought I'd share some of the sprite work that i have done for the game. =)

Sorry for not getting back to questions sooner!

I see you got it posted here eh? I've watched your other hack since. But now here's the new, well.. I'll call it new since you just posted it but not that blah. Honestly, I love the idea. Making a hack that base on your interest and making it possible just look at it go! Medieval time setting is pretty interesting as well. It's like back-to-school again. Aside Pokemon, have you gotten some of the names related to real life king and queens? I wanna know more. Well, good luck on this!

Can't wait to ride this lizard dragon and walk
Thanks a lot! I did try and come up with a few things for the character names, trying to look up the origins and meanings. Also names that sound authentic for the setting. Most of them are Arabic/Islamic/Hebrew in origin, I read on one site that Adonia was an Ancient Greek name meaning "She who fights dragons" as an example =P

I would love to be a beta tester for this game, cause I always wanted to have a title besides CHAMPION in pokemon. Does the renaming of the character work properly?
I don't really know exactly what you mean about the renaming of the character, but so far it sadly works like this because I don't know how to edit the intro... you basically go through the Oak intro, choose to be a boy or girl and put in your own name, but your name will by default be Evandor or Zhafira during game handled by ASM(thanks FBI Agent). I originally planned to skip the intro entirely, but then I heard doing it means players can't save and you wouldn't be able to choose gender either =(

^If anyone can offer me any advice on the above id be super grateful!

Screenies look really good.

I was wondering if Azradon would be included or make an appearance. I think Azradon is my favorite fakemon like ever. Along with the evolutions.

Thank you! As far as plans go, this will be a fakemon-free game.

Okay, I've come to get some general opinions on something I don't know about, as usual =P. So, I have no personal religious beliefs, and neither do most of my family/friends sadly. The thing is, I'm looking for a word to use to describe the kind of "places of worship" each of the religions has for their (fictional) gods. Using "temple" for now but it doesnt sound "religious" enough if that makes sense. I was considering using the words "church" or "mosque" (preferably the latter).

What I want to know is, would that be... okay? According to dictionaries they are words for places of worship, but for some reason i feel unsure about using them in this kind of context. Since I come from a fairly athiest background I don't know if this would be deemed offensive or not, and the last thing I want to do is offend people. [plz educate me lol]

How about cathedral, synagogue, shrine, or call it a holy place. I think either a cathedral Evandor's religious belief system and a shrine for Zhafira's religious system. If you don't mind my two cents, cause I'm really excited about this hack. I would love to help shoot ideas to you if you need anymore help. Thanks for replying back to my earlier message. :D

I don't think using church or mosque could possibly offend people, but if you want to be safe, "shrine" seems like a solid choice that definitely won't offend people. You probably can't go wrong with "chapel", and if it is a place of learning "monastery" could work as well. I'm sure whatever you go with will work out just fine :)

Sure I don't mind your two cents, 'tis why I ask! =) Aww man, I would have loved "Cathedral of Izantaur" for Evandor's religion but it doesnt fit in A-Map header =( welp! I do like the shrine idea for Zha though, shrines can be big though, right? I wanted the Draconic temple to be quite obnoxious haha. Of course if you have any more ideas feel free to PM me, I'd love to hear them! If I used any I would of course credit you too.

Thanks for your input too! I definitely agree with shrine. =) Monastery is an interesting choice too, I guess all churches/mosques/synagogues etc are places of learning (about their respective religion) and that's what the player would be doing, so it works very well! =D

Honestly, I don't think anybody would be too offended. In reality, it is just a game.

I like the sound of synagogue or shrine. I must have something for the "s" sound.

Oh boy! I was just skimming the progressing hacks thread for the first time in a while hoping to find something new to try out, and I find a new hack started by you. I really enjoyed the first hack and am super excited for this one, and if anything, I'd say this game's theme has me even more excited for this than I was for New Age Dawns, Pokemon and Medieval Times just sounds so interesting. It almost reminds me of the Arceus Movie.

You've probably already had the entire story planned out, but you saying to suggest war-themed things to put in the game, so I'll just put in my two cents as well if that's fine. Well, okay maybe my suggestion isn't entirely war based, but I've always found Witchcraft to go hand in hand, and I guess in terms of Pokemon the closest thing to Witchcraft would be Psychic Pokemon, or modern day "Psychic Trainers", the ones that always seem to be levitating their pokeballs. I know you also said their isn't really an "evil" team per say, but maybe some sort of underground psychic cult of sorts? That's assuming that you haven't already had some sort of importance in mind for Psychic Pokemon, or some other side group of crazed folk, but again just my two cents! I'll be sure to look for progress on this hack!

Hey everyone, thanks for the feedback! I still haven't had much free time lately to work on my hacks, but thought i would drop in and post some updates on what's new.



First up, here's a little sneak preview screenshot of a new feature I'm making. It's called the Strategy Map in-game, and you'll be using it a lot in the council chambers. You can move the cursor around to view the different countries, and select icons to learn some little things more about that place and its people. It will be very important in making in-game decisions, such as choosing where to travel to and who to talk terms with! It's by no means finished, so it will get bigger as time goes on. At the moment, the only countries you can see are the Havabora area, Central/Eastern Avlar and Izantine (Prince Evandor's homeland/ANAD Ekaruba Island).

Avara let me tell u something, btw this is my first time here on pokecommunity but you probably won't believe me but I just started playing the first MOT last sunday. I at first HATED the idea of azradon being a thing but I soon grown to love it. I for one don't like a whole pokemon hack being made of fakemon but since there was only one I loved it! I was deeply sad that when I finished it on Friday. I was deeply saddened when I realized that the visa wasn't a real thing and I tried to look for any other pokemon hack that could match the enjoyment I had in MOT. The thing im trying to say is that im sad that there will be no fakemon in this but hey as long as there is another MOT im not complaining!

If it's just half as good as your previous hack, it's going to be amazing!

Edit: Saw you were looking for a religous place name, what about Ashram since you're going into the Arabic theme?
Maybe something diffrent from the usual Church and Mosque for temple names.
Looking for good and creative rom hacks!
(Msg me if you'd have some suggestions!)

Hi, everyone, sorry for the lame update - I know a video would have been better, but for now screenshots are all I can use to demonstrate what this does. Thanks to Darthatron and FBI Agent for the ASM that made this possible!



Introducing the brand new custom item exclusive to AOF, the Extension! This item allows you to carry up to twelve Pokemon with you at a time instead of six; allowing you to switch between two parties. It can be used with the Select button for maximum convenience. Note that you will still lose a battle if 6 of your Pokemon faint/all of one team faints, but since healing places are few and far between I thought this would be an extremely useful feature; not to mention the fact that PCs, Pokeballs and the Pokedex do not exist in this time setting.

~ I'll probably add more to this comment later ~

that... is... incredible...

Just curious. Will we be able to switch Pokemon between the two? And how do you think this will effect some level gaps? It has to be tougher training twice the amount of Pokemon.
I'm trying to work on making sure you're able to switch between the two, I just have to set aside a couple of hours to figure out the scripting and then hopefully we should be good to go on that front! =) It will definitely be tougher to train two parties. However, the Extension item will be unlockable at a certain point, like when you already have a decent party of six and a few more in the "second" party. At the point in the game where you can really use it =P

The Pokemon universe has always had the potential for branching in the rpg genre and by the looks of it, this seems like it will be a perfect example of how the skeleton can be used to create a very different experience. I look forward to this more than anything unless Pokemon Identity was announced to be resumed.
