UPDATE
February 22, 2014
​

Today, I bring you all character updates of Anabelle and Kevin!

I'll be posting both the Professor and the Assistant Professor soon. I know progress on this game is slow, but I'm slowly getting the sprites done for the demo. I HOPE to get an early demo out by the end of May. Regardless, here are the small updates on the characters.

Spoiler:

​

Anabelle Evelyn

Age:: 15
Height:: 5' 04"
Weight:: 114.9 lbs
Current Residence:: Frostpeak Town, Azelon
Hometown:: Solaceon Town, Sinnoh

Anabelle is the female protagonist of Zircon and a secondary rival to Kevin.

She is very peppy, quite flighty, and she loves to meet both new people and Pokémon. Anabelle acts as an assistant to Mulberry, who is the Assist. Professor to the Kevin's mother, Caroline Holly. Anabelle does not go around collecting badges, instead she wanders around and captures any Pokémon that catches the interest of Mulberry. When she has some free time, she leisurely challenges the Gyms of the Azelon region.

Anabelle has a very thick southern accent and it is frequently brought up and mocked by both Kevin and Flaire. Despite their bickering, Anabelle seems to be quite fond of Kevin and does not retaliate as harshly as she does with Flaire. Anabelle will often find Kevin purposely and challenge him to Pokémon to evaluate his bonds with his Pokémon, or so she says. She and Flaire have a fierce rivalry and Anabelle gets furious when her name is brought up. Anabelle resigns on her Pokémon League challenge once she defeats Leroy, the sixth Gym Leader. The battle at Beaconbay Shore will be her final battle with Kevin. On Thursday she will be available to battle at the end of Victory Road.

EDIT: Yes, I know. Anabelle doesn't have an 'official' bag yet. I'm not sure what kind to give her, so just... bear with me.

Spoiler:

​

Kevin Rogers

Age:: 15
Height:: 5' 09"
Weight:: 129.3 lbs
Current Residence:: Frostpeak Town, Azelon
Hometown:: Jubilife City, Sinnoh

Kevin is the male protagonist of Zircon and a secondary rival to Anabelle.

He is very stubborn, rude and a bit full of himself for his age. Unlike Anabelle, Kevin does not act as an assistant but instead is an advanced Pokémon Trainer. Kevin first encounters Anabelle on Route 3 after she defeats the first Gym Leader. Kevin defeats all eight Gyms before Anabelle, and often berates her due to the 'lack of effort.'

Kevin makes fun of Anabelle because of her accent, along with Flaire. He and Flaire seem to get along only when annoying the southern girl. Kevin has noticed that Anabelle is fond of him, though he plays dumb. Once Team Nemesis has set their plans in motion, Kevin battles alongside Anabelle, thwarting their plans. During the battle with the Founder, Kevin loses his starter Pokémon and isn't seen until Anabelle defeats the Champion. He can be found in Dreadfuss City, in the Pokémon Tower. After he says goodbye to his beloved partner, Kevin seems to have lightened up quite a bit and stops making fun of Anabelle. He remains in the Pokémon Tower for the remainder of Anabelle's journey, and is available to battle on Sunday nights.

Do you need an overworld spriter for them?

I'm quite good, if I do say so myself, and have a bit of free time, if you need it?
Just PM me when ya do.

I most certainly do!

I've tried to do Anabelle's myself and they... well, they're garbage. :K If you'd be up for it, I would immensely appreciate it!

 

[Daeva]

This looks very promising, and I look forward to a demo!
Keep up the good work! n_n b

 

[Iamyou1234]

This is very awesome!!!! I love this! When will the game come out??!!

 

[Maruno]

Don't revive dead threads. Don't ask for release dates. Do read the rules.

UPDATE
December 31st, 2014

Surprise!
This game isn't dead! ​

I guess that is a good way to end the year, eh? I've put a lot of thought in what I've been doing the past few years and I decided that I would start the 2015 fresh.

So, in short, Azelon is getting scrapped and built up from the bottom! I know some people aren't keen on the tiles I've switched to, but I think they mesh nicely with the overworlds. I'm going to be completely revamping all of the maps in this style and changing them to my liking, though my composer is on break right now so I'm going to be working with him until the very last second! Anyways, aside from the Grotto where you recieve your starter, Frostpeak Town is entirely completed. Here are a few screenshots for you all to enjoy~

Spoiler:

 

[Evilrake]

Looks awesome! Scrolling up and looking at some of your character art, it looks like you've got the potential and capacity to produce a high quality game. I couldn't see what your previous maps/tiles looked like, but I do think its a good move to do a revamp if it elevates the rest of your work to the quality of what I've seen above.

The fakemon also don't look crap, so congrats there : )

edit: I would like to see some screenshots taken outside of the first town, however. A variation in routes/towns/cities/caves/forests gives you the chance to show off how good you are and gives us more to be excited about.

Thank you!

The character art was done by a good friend of mine and a very excellent artist known as zerudez. Your words do mean a lot to me! I do hope that I will be able to create a game in which people would actually enjoy. A few spoilers up on this page have some maps using the old tiles; they're pretty much fourth generation tiles ripped from HeartGold and SoulSilver, though I made a few palette changes.

In regards to your edit, I actually haven't gotten that far in mapping with the new tiles! I'm mapping out what I can of the first town including the grotto that I haven't showcased entirely yet. Once that is done, I'll be branching out and working on the follow route, town, and forest. Once again, thank you! I do appreciate your words~

 

[esperance]

Hmm, I like the look of the game. Your spriting is very good.
And you're right, the tiles do mesh well with the overworlds.

My only complaint is about the screen with the sign that says "Welcome to Frostpeak Town."
I might just be picky, but the fact that the "c" is larger than the other lowercase letters makes me cringe a little.

However, I don't do the pixel work; they are the contributions of my wonderful friends. As for your complaint, I think it might be because it is bold. It sort of bothers me too, but I think it looks nice and some others do as well. I'm replaying SoulSilver and looking at their signs to see which is better. If the unbold text looks better, I will change it. Thanks again for your comment!

Just what the doctor prescribed a fakemon hack and one that shows potential at that. :pink_love:

D'aww, thank you~!
However, this isn't a hack! It is a fangame, but I am glad that you think it shows potential! :)

Update
January 4, 2015​

I am currently updating the first post! Not only that, I have updated the logo to match the new name and theme of the game. In terms of the story, I have mostly fleshed out the main 'legend' behind the Azelon region and worked on the basic synopsis of the plot. I have also updated the three supporter userbars for the game! If you look close enough, you just might be bale to see their evolutions. ;P Check the first post to get the code, if you'd like to show your support.

I am also working on a wikia for this game, which will feature all of its the Pokémon featured in the game. However, the progress is extremely slow and it will not be done for quite some time. Anyways, be on the look out for further updates!

 

[Rayquaza.]

It's great to see this game back up. It has always had the potential to be a brilliant game and I look forward to seeing more.

I'm very glad to be working on it and this time, I'm not going to burn myself by binge mapping.

As a side note, I will be revealing the starter lines tomorrow! If you're opposed to this, please let me know before I spoil for you! Otherwise, they will be posted once I get the template done.

 

[Ęℓαчиıı]

Okay, time to show off the starters and their evolutions as promised! I've put them in a spoiler in case anyone doesn't wish to see them. Otherwise, I hope these may influence your final decision when the time comes!~ Also, I've been branching out and doing some extra mapping that I'll be posting below. If you see any errors, let me know! I'm still not used to mapping with these tiles. ^^;

Spoiler:

Purleaf
ニャー ハ Nyāha
Purleaf evolves into Tiglade starting at level 18, which then evolves into Manteclaw starting at level 32. Of course, a female Manteclaw looks different than the male. She is pictured below the main evolution line.

Lavapho
炎シール Honoshiru
Lavapho evolves into Sulpheal starting at level 16, which then evolves into Walburst starting at level 36.

Hydrake
水トカゲ Mizutokage
Hydrake evolves into Drininja starting at level 14, which then evolves into Sagaqua starting at level 38.

​

Here are a few screenshots that may or may not be the final product! Also, I know that... the backsprite is out of date. x.x' Hence why I haven't shown any battle screenies yet. Next batch should be updated at least a little. Anyways, here you go!

Spoiler:

 

[MasterBallz]

WOW those starter evolution lines blew my mind looks like im going to have to start several new games when the games released unless the starters are obtainable out in the wild or gifts they are just that amazing.

I'm very glad you like then. n_n There is a way to get the other starters in the game, but it is rather late and close to the post-game. I'm thinking of making it where you can have multiple save files, for that very reason!
