Hmm, I see what you mean. I'll see if I can find something a little darker.
If anyone has color/palette suggestions, please feel free to post them. I prefer the 15bit GBA values, but you could also just give me the RGB values.
 
I just don't like seeing the final evolution being a flower. But, that wouldn't stop this from being a good hack, I'll just use the water starter, like I always do =]. But, I forget if you have or not, but can you show the sprites of the starters? Good luck though!

I'm sorry to say that I cannot show you the sprites for the starters--they haven't been done yet. The old starter sprites are on that banner in my siggy. Alternatively, here are my drawings of the starters.

Not much to show on my part except a grass tile and palette change, some NPC scripts, and new banners. I'm not going to bother with the NPCs, as it would just be a waste of space. The banners are up in the first post, along with a new userbar.

Aside from those few things, progress has been lacking (although the new linoleum in the living room sure looks nice :D)
Fakemon
Well, I haven't heard from Bantroid since that first day. I have no idea what he's been doing, but PokemonSkySD joined up yesterday and has already made two wonderful sprites. I present to you Delwat and Elezma.

Please give him some feedback and praise his spriting skills!

Only one today, showcasing the new, improved grass tile.

Yes, they are rather cute. Pokemon don't need to look like they're going to tear your face off to be good, and I prefer my Pokemon to look like, well, Pokemon. :P

Hey thanks, I haven't seen you around in a while.
The starters will be just as strong as every other set of starters has been, so no worries.

ya, i've had a lot of school work, and now it's summer. YAY!

anyways, your Fakemon aren't bad. poeple ussually aren't good at fakes, but yours are great!
 
Well, this is looking great.
But I have a few suggestions for your sprites:

Zefloret: Sprite and idea are both excellent. But for the petals, I suggest putting a little more contrast between the two Outline Colors, it will make it look better. As for the vines, add the darker green in places where needed; having the same outline color for the whole vine is somewhat disturbing.

Delwat: Pretty good. But I would suggest putting a different color for the Lightning Bolt on its head.

Elezma: Also well done. Same suggestion as Delwat. But I think that you should make the palette a little different from Delwat's. I know that they aren't the same, but they are very similar. And it would be more appealing if the colors changed a little. Sort of like Pikachu to Raichu. Also, I dislike the fact that there isn't much of an anatomy change from Delwat to Elezma.

Thanks! Are you talking about the designs or the sprites? I only designed them and made the original artwork. Others made the sprites.

I know what you mean about the Zefloret vines. I had a hard time with the outlines there, since I only get 15 colors and he has so many different ones. I'd have liked to use more colors on the outlines, but really couldn't.
There is a difference in colors between Delwat and Elezma, even though it's very slight. Different poses might have served better, but I'm not going to complain since I didn't have to sprite them.

ATTENTION
I'm not sure if people think that I've been making sprites, but I haven't. Bantroid made a Zefloret sprite, which I recolored. PokemonSkySD made Delwat and Elezma. I only created the concepts.
 
5qwerty said:
So should we post our sprites here as well?
And Delwat and Elezma don't show on the first page.

You should also add SD's Torvolt.

You're welcome to, so people can leave feedback and love.
Yeah, I kind of forgot to put the images there... I'll fix it in an hour or two, whenever I post the next update.
 
Well, I had myself under the impression there would be an update tonight, but it'll have to wait 'til tomorrow.

I taste of spriters of this hack very am well drawn and with pallets very chosen and edited, tiles new and palletas well they are traditional, I I find that I would have to give one improved in tiles
Click to expand...

Why thank you Wesley. I know the tiles aren't as awesome as Light Platinum's, but I think they are well suited for this hack. The colors don't stray too far off the beaten path, and the trees and grass can still fit in with traditional FR tiles.
Spriters, it sounds like he likes your work. Keep it up!
 
Random person: I can haz updates?
Curt: You can haz!

General Progress
NPC scripts, NPC scripts, NPC scripts... Blah, I'm tired of these people and their insignificant lives! Actually, I find it quite interesting to create a new world filled with interesting people, who have lives of their own. I realized a few things about having all scripts cleared from a game that were slightly annoying: elevators and vending machines. Being lazy, I just copied them from the original FireRed and changed all of the pointers.
I've been doing a lot of work elsewhere in the hack as I strive to make everything fresh and new to the players. For instance, I'm changing all of the TMs. What am I changing them to? Attacks that I think are actually useful to the player. No more Bulk Up or Reflect. They also appear in the game in roughly the order they are numbered. TMs 1-6 will be the first available, and you'll probably be getting ahold of TM 50 near the end of the main storyline. Do you like? The first six will be purchasable on the fourth floor of the department store after you complete your first mission. Want a preview? No screenies, but TM 01 is Lick. :P
Fakemon
PokemonSkySD has continued to make great sprites of the Delwat line. Have a peak at the team thread if you want a gander at Torvolt.

5qwerty and Kirbychu have decided to help out as well.
[PokeCommunity.com] Pokemon Faze Version
Fizriket by 5qwerty. Opinions?
[PokeCommunity.com] Pokemon Faze Version
Flarewig by Kirbychu, flames edited by 5qwerty.
I've been tweaking the vines on 5qwerty's Briobulb sprite, and now it needs a recolor to match Zefloret's... Which I haven't mentioned yet! I decided to try and do the outline in a more Nintendo-ish style to match the other sprites that have been made, as well as recoloring with colors from other Pokemon sprites. How did I do?
[PokeCommunity.com] Pokemon Faze Version

I drew up some stat spreads for the fakemon. Curious to know what they are? Too bad. :P I'll put the starters' up for opinion.
Spoiler:

In other news, I've been trying to plan out the Reole region Pokedex. It's harder than I thought it would be that's what she said. I'm currently planning on using only 200 Pokemon (including Fakemon), but I might need to bump it up to 250. We'll see how things go. Open this spoiler for a preview of what's in store for you.
Spoiler:

Whew, that update was pretty chock-full of info and teasers. No screenshots today, just walls of text.

TL;DR version -- Get back up to the top of the post and read the damn thing. -_-
 
i dont mind fake-mon but they need to be legit looking. the yellow things needs minor smoothing, but idk for the other two... if you can actually pull off the whole new pokemon thing, then it would be awesome. ill check back later!

also: the names.

Fizriket sounds odd and hard to look at. how about Fritzket? minor change, i know, but it's just that the double "i" in there hurt my brain. and fritz sounds more fire-like...
The other two names are odd to me, and Amphijab sounds like Ampharos wannabe, but i suppose im just fakemon negative ;) i hope i hurt no one's feelings heheh...

I'm curious as to how they're not legit-looking? I think that the Delwat line fits in very well with the game, as well as Flarewig. I've been working on making Zefloret fit in better, and Fizriket looks just fine to me. At the start of every generation after the second, the Pokemon didn't look "legit" to me at first, but as time wore on I got used to them and accepted them.
As far as names go, I've grown kind of fond of them over time. I don't know that I could change them. Fritzket sounds like something that's... on the fritz. :P Fizriket combines "fizzle" with "cricket" to make a name I'm comfortable with. Amphijab consists of "amphibian" and "jab." I'll let you guess its type from that.
Don't worry, I highly doubt anyone could or would come into the thread and hurt my feelings. I know a lot of people are skeptical of fakemon, but trust me when I say these will be done right.
 
nice-i hope it will be done well=]

can you post on the first page(first messege)how the project is going?
like:tileing 13% , scripting 12% and so on

that will be very nice=]
