[RPGMXP] Pokémon Ananda

[Amarantine]

Hey guys,

I'm new in the forum, and i've been working on a project that i would like to present you, the name is Pokémon Ananda.


Storyline:

Spoiler:

The world is a strong yet fragile place. Things collide and disappear every single second. some of them we see it, and some of them are invisible. This perfect balance of life and death has been sacred for all these centuries...thanks to the Spirits of Correspondence.

You may have heard about the 7 points of energy, the 7 circles inside of us that determine aspects of our life, such as our spirit, our thoughts, our actions. These are called the Chakras.

In the beginning of times, when the universe was created, the power of these 7 points of existance was given to be guarded in 7 gems. And for each one of those gems, a Pokémon was created to guard it. 6 pokémon and a human Spirit were made, keeping the balance human-pokémon intact. These gems are:

- Sajasrara gem, or the gem of the sense., Given to Cresselia
- Agna gem, or the gem of the time and light., Given to Dialga
- Vishuddha gem, or the gem of the growth and expression, Given to Suicune
- Anajata gem, or the gem of love and compassion, Given to Celebi
- Manipura gem, or the gem of the development, Given to Mew
- Suadhisthana gem, or the gem of sexuality and creativity, Given to Raikou
- Muladhara gem, or the gem of the root., Given to Entei

(Still under consideration, if any suggestion, please let me know)

But lately, the acts of the humans broke the balance. The men doesn't care about their inner selves anymore, the material things and sensations have taken over and this has made the Spirits of The Correspondence, along with Arceus feel the world is hopeless.
This vision was shown to one man, a Psychic called Quidam Soleil. The world is going to be destroyed unless you help him to reunite the 7 gems and put them in a place where they can directly influence the world...but what's that place? Who is Quidam Soleil? and why Arceus and the Spirits of Correspondence feel this world is hopeless?

Features:

- 6 legendary Pokémon, in the part of the Spirits of Correspondence. (Other legendaries may be catchable too, but you'll have to search.
- New region, along with new events and new places.
- You're not willing to be a Pokémon Master, you're a psychic tormented by the idea of your world being destroyed. Some gym leaders and even elite four members will help you, though, such as Erika, Sabrina, and Bruno.
- The temples and dungeons will have traps, and puzzles you will have to solve in order to advance and face each one of the 7 Spirits.
- No human enemies in particular, or teams, or organizations.

Screenshots:

Spoiler:

Title screen (still wondering if i should add it a Pokémon...)

Introduction, where Quidam introduces himself and tells you part of his supositions about what's happenning.

Introduction, with information about the Chakras and their part in our world.

In Saffron City, where the story begins.

The Mugshot of Quidam, as you can see on my avatar picture as well.

HELP!

Spoiler:

As you can see, it's quite a different project, so i would really appreciate help. People i would really need as a team:

- A scripter, to work together on events and some other scripting features.
- A spriter, to work on the new pokémon sprites and new trainers.
- A person to work on the maps, so we can have original maps and ideas regarding to the temples, their architecture and map location.
- Anyone who's willing to give ideas is welcome to help! if we end up using your idea, you will be credited in the development part of the credits.

If you would like to be part of this development team, please send me a private message with some images of your work and such, thanks!

So, i would like to hear your opinions about the story, which is basically what i have most developed by now.

PD: I'll be adding more screenshots and information about the game as i go on. Like i said, if you would like to help, feel free to PM me.

Dude if you don't have those pictures on here then you won't get 15 replies

Sure, but i opened the topic to expose the idea of the project, not to receive 15 replies, haha :). I will upload some images of what i have done by now, which is basically the intro and the character sprite. This thread is to update and just get the community to know that i'm working on something, and if someone is interested and wants to help, then it's welcome.

I'm working on uploading the screenshots now, and as i go on i will upload more.

Thanks for the advice, though!

I know most are excited to post threads, for support and what not, but why dont some of you wait. You post your idea early, most likely gonna get negative feedback and then lose intrest in a good idea...

Its a lose lose...

Thanks, but like i said, it isn't about wanting to receive support or being excited to post a thread, it's just exposing the idea in the drawing board, with the things i have so far which is the story, the character and some other things, and see if people can say how does it sound for them.

I've read some people hates the same team rocket/magma/etc storyline, and i'm trying not to use those elements. Of course, when i work on some other things i will update it, but right now i'm not rushed to make a game. I'm testing the idea to see people's opinion on it first.

Thanks to you too, for the interest.

I'm curious is the chakra thing anything like the naruto anime chakra network.

I'm curious is the chakra thing anything like the naruto anime chakra network.

Mmm i couldn't tell, since i've never really watched naruto, all i know about it is that it's about ninjas, lmao. But the Chakra composition follows the same principles as the traditional indian scriptures. 7 points of energy that rule over our bodies.

In the game what Arceus did was assign the power of the different chakras to a sacred Pokémon, holding the power in form of gems they protect.

There's a lot of metaphysical themes inside the game, like spiritual sessions, posessions, etc. But with the chakras, i think this would explain it a lot more: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chakra

Very interesting, especially how you illustrated the Chakras and how they are distributed on a Gyarados. Are you planning on showing other examples of Pokemon in the introduction, or was Gyarados just the single random example?

Well, i think i'll leave Gyarados as the only example since other examples and more info would make it way too long for an introduction. Quidam already says some things before, and you have to give him a Nickname shortly after the Chakras explanation, so it's better to keep things short and nice :)


EDIT: Added Titlescreen to the first post.

I like this idea, it's very original. Especially the chakras. I think you should assign the gems to already existing legendaries though. It would be easier than making whole new Pokemon. But that's just my opinion lol.

Indeed, GoldenPokeBall! I think i'll definately change that now. I thought so too, Also, makes more sense that our well known "sacreds" had another mission we didn't knew.

So yes, the 6 Sacred/Legendary pokémon of choice will be put on the first post, after the name of the gem.

Thanks for the suggestion!

First of all, sorry for the Double Post, but i have a quick announcement to make:

POKÉMON ANANDA IS CLOSED.

The thing is, i like the idea, and it's possible to do, but it is too complicated to do it just by myself. I don't have enough time, knowledge or resources to make it the way i would like it to be, so i won't keep on doing it. I thought about it, and even though i love the whole concept, i can't think of how to develop it further without any help. It was a project to kill my spare time, but it's been proven to be too time-consuming and even exhausting, so i'll work on something more easy and fun to do. Maybe a very generical pokémon game with some extra things, new trainers and other easy things. So i can end it quick and enjoy it just myself.

Thanks for those who commented, and thanks for those who suggested.

I'm asking for thread closure, if possible.Thanks!
