Pokemon: Time of Rebellion

[oldbarrel]

Introduction
Pokemon Time of Rebellion is a pokemon game being developed by some of my friends and myself. It is our first project ever.

The game will be set in the new region of "Arora". There will ONLY be fakemon in the game. We hope to achieve a game that is different from other fan-made games. Thank you for checking it out, and we hope you play it when it comes out.

Feel free to leave feedback. Please do!


Story

Spoiler:

Many years ago, the many regions of the world were torn inwar. The war was between the Pokémon, and the humans. What was the reason?Although the reason is not known for sure, most say that the Pokémon wanted toshow that they can fend for themselves. And they succeeded, even though theylost the war.

Legend has it, that at the time of the war, 3 powerful Pokémoncame to aid the Pokémon so that they could win. Those Pokémon were Terrakion,Cobalion, and Virizion. They turned the tide of the war dramatically, and ifnot for a single hero, they would have won. The hero was also your great,great, great, great grandfather. He caught the 3 legendary Pokémon, and he hidtheir pokeballs in underground caverns.

Now, many years later you turn 16. You have been living inthe small town of Crimsonwood all your life and you have never left. Nowfinally you parents let you free. However you do not go alone. Accompanied byyour two best friends and a Pokémon given to you by your father, the three ofyou venture out to fulfill your dreams of defeating all 8 knights of Arora,fighting in the Grand Annual Tournament ,battling the 6 heroes and then grandchampion of Arora.

Meanwhile, the current King of Arora by the name ofAlexander AKA "The Master", is plotting. Recently the people of Arora have notbeen listening to him and respecting him. He is a weak king, and is not able tofollow in his father's footsteps. So therefore he decided to gain the respectanother way. Using evil tools created by his scientists, he plans to find thelegendary Pokémon, capture them, and release them on the region. Then when allwill seem lost, he plans to capture the legendary Pokémon and be a hero. And incase someone tries to break away, he will use the legendary Pokémon to stopthem.

When you hear of this, you understand you cannot let it go.You decide to go together with your friends and on the side of your journeys totry to stop the King.

Will you succeed? Will you stop the king? Will you beat allother trainers in the region? Will you be a hero? Or a villain? It's time towrite your own story.

Knights and Heroes

Spoiler:

The 8 knights, are the guardians of Arora. They are there to
protect the region from all harm, and to test and train the trainers of Arora.
Each one specializes in a certain pokemon type, and can be found in an
environment that matches that type. Once defeated, you will be awarded with a
badge, and a gift that the Knight may decide to present to you.

The 6 heroes have many explanations, but only one is
widely excepted. The 6 heroes are said to be immortals, who have lived from the
beginning of Arora. They have lived through the countless kings, wars, and
natural disasters. Their job is to protect the Region along with the knights,
and to battle all those who think they are worthy to battle the Grand Champion.
The only way to challenge them is to have all 8 badges, and to have defeated the
Grand Tournament.

TheTournament

Spoiler:

The old kings of Arora created a tradition back when they
ruled. Each year they would hold a Tournament, where anyone with the 8 badges
could enter and battle for a large sum of money, fame, and the chance to battle
the 6 Heroes.

The Tournament is made up of countless trainers and will
truly test your skill in Pokemon. Only the best win, and are you one of them?
The tournament is a 1 on 1 style and the winner proceeds to the next round.
Between each round your pokemon are healed and you are given a chance to buy
some equipment. The trainers are more powerful as the rounds progress. Can you
win?

the only thing you will need.


-Side quests for more fun!

ranger.

events. However now, they are planning on something much worse. They want to
capture the awakened pokemon, so that they can take over Arora. You will have to
stop them.

begining. Remember this is not the only organization/clan out there.

[pkmn.master]

This looks like a promising project. I have a bit of input. In the pictures, the autotile I see used for the dirt path appear to be the FR/LG ones that come with Essentials. This wouldn't be a problem if you used only FR/LG style tiles, but you are mainly using newer generation tiles. This and the tall grass tiles you used in the first image are also FR/LG style. I'd suggest using Kyledove's dirt autotile, and his tall grass tiles, since they would complement the complete area better (PM me if you need these).

I am liking your region map's position of routes and towns. My game primarily forces people to go one way, but this looks interesting, as it is a branching map. I also like how you created an original prologue, by this I mean how the player gets his Pokemon. Almost everyone here uses the same old "it's your (insert age here)th birthday and professor (insert witty professor name here) will give you a choice of three Pokemon:, and I'm tired of seeing that, so I'm glad you changed it up. Finally, I would like to wish you some luck. I have worked with several Pokemon fan game projects on RMXP and have gained vast experience. I have had a few failed projects. Most projects don't get finished, unfortunately. I hope that you stick with it and if you need any help with something, let me know.

 

[oldbarrel]

HEy there thanks for the advice! I do need those dirt and grass tiles. It was a pain resizing everything correctly.

If you are able to help with anything mentioned in the list aswell, that would be awesome.

Again thanks for the feedback!

 

[Lord Varion]

Everything in the screenshots looks badly resized.
My suggestion would be to go to an XP version of Paint and select your tiles and press 'CTRL' + '+' it will double the size of the image, making it the perfect size for RMXP projects.

Also, the story, it seems good.
But these Legendaries? Are they new ones? Or already used ones?

In fact, I didn't see it written anywhere, are you using the current 649? Or adding your own?

Anyway, I wish you good luck on this project.

It says at the start of the thread that he is using only fakemon.

Indeed, I didn't notice the resizing. Really, it isn't all to bad, as I only see that the houses have this problem. Just experiment with resizing them. If you want, you could send me a PM with your outside tileset and I can help correct this for you.

[Lord Varion]

That Route 1 map, is my main concern.
You seem to have overspammed it with grass.
I suggest letting some of the grass go, and fill it with other stuff such as, jumpable ledges and flowers, or stuff like that.
Also, that's a lot of uneeded tries around the top.

 

[oldbarrel]

Alright ill fix it up. Crimsonwood is good though?

NEED SOME;

Mappers, Fakemon Artists, and Scripters. Let me know if your willing to help please!

 

[chimcharsfireworks]

Don't forget to credit ThatsSoWitty for tilesets either (I did make the blue and white houses, the two tile trees, the smaller tree stumps, and the sticks on the ground. When I say you have to credit me for using my tilesets, I mean it because I design most of what goes on there or edit a majority of it).
Your maps are a bit too sqaure, and the first image is a bit weird. You can't use stairs with the ledges.

 

[oldbarrel]

I did credit you. I think you missed it. Your towards the end of the credits.

And ill check out removing those stairs. I thought it looked fine, but ill check it out.

Thanks for commenting! And for those tiles!

 

[Lord Varion]

The stairs is done wrong, there should be any at all.

This buildings shadow is way to thick, as is the Blue roofed house, set the colour of it to Semi Transperent when inserting.

This house has no shadow?! Yet the others do? And Spammed with flowers much?

 

[Tru Eagle]

Would love to see this come to fruition.

 

[oldbarrel]

Thank you Tru Eagle.

Nintendork. Yes I did kind of spam flowers. And I did not realize there was not shadow. Ill fix it.

 

[Nickalooose]

The stairs is done wrong, there should be any at all.

I like the new tiles, and this is a clever little idea, I do believe in real life, you can hop off of ledges, even if they have stairs... Stairs are safer, jumping down the ledges is quicker, there's nothing saying you can't have this, I would, however, tidy this up a little... It looks a slight bit odd that the ledge just stops, nearer the stairs.

Those stairs are for going down a ledge facing north.
Yet the ledge is facing south.
