POST OVERLOAD!!!!!!
My wireless connection fails so I decide to watch some TV. Now its morning and I'm dumbfounded by the amount of overnight activity (tho I guess its not overnight in the US). Now I've got to comment slowliy and carefully.
@ Omnious Plains
I really like your spriting work, but the problem is it dont seem to fit in. A centaur is based on a horse, while this is a goat line. The line should play out as goat --> ram --> ibex. Also a Fire/steel cannot be in this hack as the way the brotherhood's pokemon as well as the way the gym leaders are structured, steel would give this pokemon an unfair advantage (too many resistances). Sorry I didn't mention this before but the fire line has to be purely fire for this one as so not to upset the balance. Your other two members of this line are excellent and so is this one but it just dosn't really fit in sorry. So that your hard work is not wasted, why don't you make it a legendary in your own hack Pokemon Desert Orchid (which any other readers should check out by the way)? It does seem to suit a legendary more than a starter. I would include it as a legendary in mine but I'm only going to have one as it is vital to the plot.
@ Pokestorm
Well done on the starter so far! You could add small barbs to the tail to make it more poisony. You can do this pkemon's entire evolutionary line if you want, you have the exclusive rights to do so (ie. no one else can sprite this evo line). keep the blue colour of course and maybe make its feet webbed?
I havn't updated the first post with the new fakemon as names have yet to be decided and my current priority is the region. Once i've uploaded my sketches of fakemon for people to help sprite I will then upload all the definates to the first post OK?
@ DG
Your fakemon would otherwise be very good but Pokestorm's is much better. I'm sure you can help with later spriting though...
@ Deja Vu
I like your character spriting a lot and would love to make you a character spriter. As for fakemon i'm afraid we have enough as it is. If we have too many different fake spriters, the fakemon will all be of different styles and it would kinda look messy. You can do members of the brotherhood mainly and I'l PM you with the information at a later date. Its amazing how your ideas for the 7 are very similar to mine. The thing is, in Sands of Time the highest rank you will face is an Overseer (Overseer Tesseract of Vicitalis to be precise). I may have mentioned this before but Pokemon Chronicles was originally going to be a series. Sands of Time is the 2nd in the series. I'm choosing to only do the 2nd for now as it is the one that can stand alone easist. Ifwhen this is completed I may continue the series:
1. Pokemon Chronicles: The Garden of Eden
2. Pokemon Chronicles: The Sands of Time
3. Pokemon Chronicles: The Eye of the Storm
4. Pokemon Chronicles: The Final Chapter
Each has a different region and controlled charcter. But the character from the previous hack always makes a major appearance in the next. The 7 are not fought until hack no.3 or no.4 and so will not be in this hack. That dosn't mean you are not needed as the initiates up to the overseer require spriting and you can do the 7 anyway so that they're ready.
As I said before I'm only going to do hack no. 2 for now as all 4 at once would be too ambitious. If this is sucessful when its done and I still have enough juice left in me I will make no.1 and then no. 3 and then no.4. I already have the rgions, plot and characters designed so its not like I havn't though about the overall storyline. They are all linked by the protaganists, the brotherhood and the 7 legendary dragons (Vicitraho is the only one that will feature in Sands of Time). For example, Casey, Sands of Time's protaganist, is aided by Hope, Garden of Eden's protaganist. They are set roughly 3 yaers apart.
So there you go!
@Blasto King
I'm afraid we have enoughfakemon spriters, as mentioned above. You can conrtibute howver ideas and criticism. Also, if someone drops out you can become a spriter.
@RedBaron
Keep up the good work! perhaps incorperate elements of the Eucalyptus tree into the final Koala evo as this is their food of choice?
@Everyone
Yikes! Thanks for all your input guys! The hack is going swimingly well. I will update the fakemon section once I have made up some names and chosen which fakemon will definately be used. Question me at any time if you want more info on plot, setting, fakemon or anything OK?
~Well Done~
