  • Here are some screenshots for everyone:

    dshayabusa and I rewrote the scripts that lead up to you receiving your Pokemon. Also, two of the screenshots give you a glimpse at Plum Town and the adjacent Plum Forest that are currently being worked on. You can also see Chinchou's stats (along with the other starters), have been updated slightly. I may of overpowered them a bit, so there will probably be adjustments on that front.

    Currently trying to figure out PET and some other weird errors.

    Wonderful screen shots Britney. :)

    One question: If Sabrina is your mom, you are going to add the walking sprites to her, right? Or does she stand there for certain scripts, and when you goto another area or into a house, she's back inside yours?

  • No, that's the "professor" character of the game. Her name is Erica and she is your family's maid. However, her role in your father's disappearance is greater than it first appears and she becomes a major player in the story of the game.

    And she walks back inside after giving you your Pokemon.

  • I may include a few (Skuntank, Bronzong, Tangrowth come to mind). No Eeveelutions though. I'm honestly going to make Eevee an Easter Egg, hidden event that's very difficult to find. The abuse of Eevee in so many ROM hacks is astounding. I'd rather focus on the other, more ignored Pokemon (aka my starters).

    I love a hack with a good original story.

    Any hack whose story isn't "Defeat Team X and Rival Y while fighting Gym Leaders in order to take on the Pokemon League" is good in my opinion.

    shouldn't it be "the" instead of "these" in this screenshot
    Pokémon: The Ruby Dagger Murders
    "The" would specify police as a whole in this scenario and isn't really specific. "These" (or "those") would represent a select group of the police rather than all police everywhere or any police. If I said "the flowers have died" you would ask "which ones?" but if I said "these flowers have died"..well you get the idea.

    The sentence you pointed out is grammatically correct as is.

  • Nice screenshots. So I'm guessing that you (the protagonist) is not supposed to find that "note"? But still does?

    I think 'the' is more appropriate.
    "These police seem..." is wrong in grammar...
    If we need to use these, then it should be like this,
    "These police officers seem..."

    And besides, these is used if you are close to the thing/person, and if they're far, you should use 'those'...

    Off topic here, and I'm aware of it... :(


    Anyways, so you're using the 'ignored' POKéMON, huh?
    Sounds cool, and I hope you'll include Dunsparce here, too. :D
    Dunsparce's my fav. normal type... :P

    Also, I like the way we can have our starter. :)

    Well, best of luck~

    Hmm.. true. But "officers" is a bit too formal for casual conversation.

    How about "Those policemen just seem so.."?

    Er, isn't it Erin? D:

    And what happened to the purple roofs in Plum Town?
    Er, thats all I've got to say for now.
    Yeah this post is pretty useless.

    EDIT: Did you want every instance of Pokemon to be Pokémon? I forgot to ask you this yesterday.

  • Yeah it's Erin. I keep confusing it because we're using the Erica sprite for her at the moment. Also, the "the vs these" thing. The character is talking about the specific police at their compound at the moment. And I don't know what happened to the purple roofs in Plum Town. I didn't do anything with them and didn't notice anything changed until you said something. Also, new screen shot:
