Hii! My name's Zemmie and I'm looking for some help with my pokemon romhack, Pokemon Pastel Shortcake/Pastel Shortcake(both titles work). Pokemon Pastel Shortcake is a pseudo-open world pokemon romhack(that uses the FireRed as a base with the CFRU applied to deal with adding new mechanics and such) in which the player after a short intro plot line is dropped into the world. After that the player is free to go and explore and be part of mini storylines which result in either a new item which unlocks more mini plots, items, pokemon, etc.
Some examples of the mini-plots!
- The Pre-evolved cult - The per-evolved cult is a group of mini quests focused on a cult that worships the power of not fully evolved pokemon and the eviolite, speaking of which this plot starts with the eviolite dungeon. The eviolite dungeon is one of many planned dungeons, the difference between dungeons and normal areas is that once you enter a dungeon you cannot exit unless you black out or beat the final boss of the area. The eviolite dungeon is situated inside of the forest clearing below route one, making it the first ever dungeon the player is going to stumble upon. The inside of the dungeon looks just like a cave but lacks wild encounters instead trainers which are the protectors of the eviolite from unworthy hands. While exploring the dungeon the player will stumble upon individuals dressed in black clothes with matching symbols, these are the per-evolved cult and they are in the dungeon to get their hands on it. After the player beats them and finishes the dungeon they are allowed to continue the story line somewhere else, I won't spoil the entire story line but I hope this was enough to get the just of it.
- The Floral protest - While the pre-evolved cult is going to be a more battle heavy and traditional writing wise the floral protest is a way more casual risk free(if you're nuzlockeing) plot line, the plot line starts by the player simply beating the mini gym challenge of the naturalists in route 1, after beating their leader Miano they can can be found In other places through the region, if talked to the player will piece together that her goal is to dissipate the stigma that bug type pokemon and generally safe pokemon are weak or not worth using in the teams of gym leaders, champions, police, etc. Every time you meet her she will ask you for a favor, be it to obtain a leaf stone, be it to talk to somebody else, etc, etc. While I don't have her story completely written the skeleton for it is there.
Features/ Planned features!
I currently am the only developer,artist,mapper etc. of the and I was wondering if anybody would like to help me with some pixel art. I mostly specify in furry art which makes me able to draw pokemon/critters rather well but I suck at drawing humans especially in pixel art. I would be delighted if anybody is willing to help me with human battle portraits, over world sprites and even pokemon/fakemon sprites if they're able to draw them/want to draw them.
This is also my first ever serious romhacking project so sorry if I'm not great at certain things.
If you wish to help me people message me and we can talk about details and such.
thank you in advanced ^^

Features/ Planned features!
- A hand picked selection of pokemon, new regional/redesigned forms and fakemon. Pokemon Pastel Shortcake is planned to feature a hand picked selection of pokemon chose by me which in certain cases such as the gen 1 bug types get buffs and rebalances. One of the biggest changes is the removal of useless/bad abilities, pokemon with bad abilities such as keen eye or illuminate will gain brand new abilities that will give them more reason to be used in battle. Along side that stats are re-balanced so every pokemon could be used with alright to great performance in battle without the need of being just a sacrifice pokemon or a situation pick .
- Auto-level scaling, an easy grinding NPC and more quality of life features intended to make the experience smoother.
- A somewhat challenging but also approachable difficulty. While there will be certain themes which get inspired by smogon teams most battles won't require an insane amount of strategy.
