FireRed hack: [HotW #58] Pokémon Torzach: The Legend Begins (We're back in action, people!)

[Logan]

Okay atm, I am inserting some sprites. I have done Bewstripe and Flowirp! Screenies are coming soonish xD

I like this better than Meestlee. Do you think we could possibly just rid of the concept all together and have this evolve into Runcass instead? =p Only one problem. The right eye is a little... long?

What? Get rid of Meestlee? Get rid of Weedlant? I personally don't want to throw anyone out. Seeing all the hard work I put into the sprites. And does the concept really matter? It's just there to see what the Pokemon could look like. I believe you were the one who said "your job as a spriter is to improvize" or something close to that, anyway. I did, and Weedlant now looks better than the concept art.

So in short, I believe we should keep it Meestlee, Weedlant, Runcass. If we remove one, it could cause problems, lead to taking other Pokemon away from the hack, ect. So, I'll edit and get Weedlant to Mac, and then we should be done with this family! ;)

Actually no, could you send it to me? I am inserting sprites at the moment, and if you want it in...

Hey Goodies, I can help you insert for Torzach. Could you reply to my PM.

Well the thing is... Meestlee doesn't look all that great to begin with. I dunno... Even with me, when I make something and it doesn't turn out well, and I can't imagine it being in the game, I just throw it out. To me, it's best to rid of either Meestlee or Weedlant because Meestlee evolving into Weedlant and then into something more Meestlee-ish like Runcass makes no sense. I was never really satisfied with Meestlee, so I think it might be best to rid of it. That, or make Weedlant part of a seperate chain or something. I really think that one of those two shouldn't be in the Runcass chain. It wouldn't cause any problems, because well... xDD in the end we're going to have a lot of fakemon. Remember when I made

this? I pretty much threw it out because of the bad concept despite all the work I did on it. It's not that the spriting you did was badly done, but the concept of the meestlee chain was poorly made to begin with.

It's like four in the morning for him right now. If you have anything else to say to Goodies, you can do so on his profile. ;D

but wait. what about something like Slakoth->Vigoroth->Slaking? Slakoth and Slaking are much more like eacho other than Vigoroth is... and Vigoroth's the middle of the evo chain. Just pointing out that the official pokemon are like that too... but hey, not my call. ^^;

Yeah but they all look monkeyish... I dunno, I just feel that the 2nd evo is really... I dunno.. it just looks like it shouldn't be in the chain, with three players at least. I was talking with a person or two, and we kinda agreed. Could just be me, though.

 

[<~F.M.P~>]

You know, I was looking at the concept art of Weedlant, and to me it still seems like a great concept, and the look to me just seems pokemonish either way. I've seen most of the concepts and it goes without saying that This hack has some of the most realistic Fakemon in my opinion, next to Amethyst and and Acanthite(there may be others but I'm barely in the hacking scene). I really think Weedlant should be kept.

On a side note however, this is one of the most well put together Hacks I've seen since I've been in PC. I wish you all much luck ;)

One: Slakoth and co. are sloths. Don't know why Nintendo made Vigoroth the way they did, but I like him. It's original.

Two: It would be better if you knew what Meestlee and co. are first before saying they are bad concepts. Meestlee is a seed. It floats around waiting to land somewhere and start growing, (Evolve) like if you blow on some weeds, they release seeds that get carried away by the wind. Weedlant is the plant growing up and sprouting. Runcass is the fully grown weed that has more seeds on it that get blown away much like a real weed. Basically, Runcass has a Meestlee on his head.

I don't want to get rid of any of the fakemon, to tell the truth. I mean, how would the person who made the concept art feel when they saw people saying the conept's bad? So, let's just keep them all. Makes it easier in my opinion.

In case I hurt your feelings, I apologize in advance. I don't know. I really think it's a bad idea. Meestlee... I don't know it just seems too small? It's even hard for me to edit to try to make it better. Also, we won't be using all of that particular artist's work. Some of the concepts are bad-ish. Some are amazing, but others... That's why we have multiple artists that we're going to be working with. ;) It doesn't matter how the artist feels as much as it matters that we have concepts that people will catch because they look awesome. Like I said before, I want all of our fakemon to be fakemon that people will actually want. If I wouldn't catch it, I would think it was a bad concept. I joined the team because there was a lack of those bad concept pokemon that I wouldn't catch, and I wanted to sprite them. There are some concepts though, that I just won't sprite because I wouldn't catch it myself, ever.

EDIT: I thought about it again, and with some consideration, I guess we can keep Meestlee ( I just think it bothers me that it's a little small) , but I want you to take that pm I sent you to heart so that we don't use anymore of the less favorable concepts. Just do me that favor, alright? ^_^ And sorry if I offended you. I want us to discuss the concepts we're planning on doing from now on so we stop having these types of arguments, alright?

Wow, to be compared to those games is an honour ^^ They were one of the reasons I got into Fakemon :D Thanks for the post

===================================================================

Goodies informed me that he has inserted 13 full Torzachians, so be ready for some screenshots very soon ^^

EDIT: We have here some screenshots of the newly inserted pokemon ^^ I'll try and get some more screenshots later, but for now, just enjoy these front sprite pictures ^^ Credits to Goodies for inserting them ;)

Spoiler:

Names aren't changed yet, obviously :P

 

[13ullseye.]

the fakemon in the second pic is my fav so far he reminds me of like a wolf type

 

[Westrmistr]

Great :D

Looks good Mac, good job Goodies. =] Just, are there supposed to be shadows under them?

 

[13ullseye.]

how many sprites do you guys think you have inserted so far?

 

[alo123]

Those screen shots look great I am anticipating the
release of this keep up the great work

 

[Vannah☆]

how many sprites do you guys think you have inserted so far?

Mac said 13 in his post. ;)

 

[jbs829]

mac, are you using all of aminako's fakemon?

just looking at what looks like the majority of the ones your using, and they're awesome

 

[skyhart]

It's been stated in earlier posts that we have access to over 350 or 400 fakemon.

I think that the spriters are choosing the best out of those to be in Torzach.

 

[Vannah☆]

Right so the answer would be no. We're not using all of her fakemon. ;) We have multiple other artists that we'll be using along with fakemon that are completely original.
