So starting about summer of last year, my friend and I wanted to make a completely new game. We are using RPGMaker with both of us able to use Ruby. We have a friend of ours who is an artist who draws the original artwork, but we need to convert that to a pixel medium on the computer for all the sprites in the game. He is also drawing the back sprites. So we already have artwork, we just need them converted, if you're interested I can setup a skype call and show you what we have so far. We have 192 pokemon lined up with about 80 of the artworks complete. We also have the layout of the story, like I said, the biggest struggle we are running into is the pixel art! :)
