[rufflestiltskin]

Um, hi. My name's Ruff and I'm mainly interested in helping to sprite? ^-^ But I also like writing and can help with ideas for routes, gyms, puzzles and the like (which looks like it's what you guys are working on atm).

Name: Ruff, or rufflestiltskin
Skill(s): Spriting, Trainer spriting, Overworld spriting, Pokemon creator, Text editor I guess...? (for writing)
Main role: Spriting
Past experience: I've never worked on a hack before, but I've been dreaming up pokemon for a really long time. I only recently got into spriting, but I'm very dedicated and hoping to use this project to improve.
Contact Information: I'd prefer just a PM on here...?
Time Zone: Eastern Standard Time (-5)
Other: Here's a couple examples of my work. ^-^ I hope it's okay.

Also, I had no idea.
Here I bring to the leader, tell me if they want any changes, so know how to make the minis.
Is the leader type bug.

Hello there! Cosmotone or Outkin should add you to the list later. Your sprites are great! Remember that the limit is 16 colors and 64x64 canvas for Pokemon!

Also, I had no idea.

@rufflestilskin Welcome to the team! We need all the spriters we can get. I like your leaf lion thing. :)
@ Nino She looks weird. And it looks like that she is sticking her tongue out. But if you can make a vs sprite for it, do whatever you want :P
Also, we need to get some more maps and stuff before we even start on the Fakemon. Gym Leaders and Elite Four are fine, but all else must wait on maps and other things like tiles.

Oh that map! I got a bunch of schoolwork to do (you should know, Cosmotone), so I can't work on that map much... :(

 

[rufflestiltskin]

Omigosh, thanks so much for accepting me. :) I'm really glad to be a part of the team.

I can't be much help with the mapping problem... But if someone could send me a list of pokemon ideas/trainer classes/gym leaders that need to be sprited, I could get started on that? Do we have a complete fakedex system organized? Some of the images in this thread aren't showing up for me...

No, always keep in PNG. You wanna change it??

lol, she's not sticking his tongue out, smiling.
Yes, we need maps. xD, I have not the slightest idea how to do it, bah yes, but I did not go well.

Welcome.
Um, I have no idea, although it is true, we would need a list of ideas more or less.

 

[pokemew12]

https://pokemew12.deviantart.com/gallery/36531604 try some of these... they dont necessarily have to be in that pose, and you can fix any proportion errors u want. also, they are open for change to those who want to change them

 

[Outkin]

Sorry I've been gone, I've been busy and sick :(

Everything's looking great guys, I have a rough sketch on an idea for a region map/setup, tell me what you guys think.

(This is why I don't do art lol)

 

[Cosmotone8]

Looks okay, but too, I dunno, one way? like there arent enough connecting routes or something.... It also just flat out needs a lot of work, no offense intended. I've had a couple of ideas and random sketches of town maps just randomly laying around. Will see if I can upload them. We don't need to use mine, but we need to use one with a little better layout. Again, no offense intended whatsoever.

 

[rufflestiltskin]

Well, every region has a couple of pokemon it needs for sure. Stuff every gen has had, like:
-the three starters
-a couple of bug pokemon for early routes (it sounds like Nino's idea of one caterpillar with many evolutions could fill this slot)
-a bird pokemon or two for early routes (think pidgey/spearow/starly)
-a rodent for early routes (rattata/zigzagoon/patrat)
-a trio of legendaries (like Articuno/Zapdos/Moltres or Raikou/Entei/Suicune)
-Main legendaries (looks like Solrock and Lunatone?)
-Event legendary (mew/celebi/shaymin)

These are just the ones I can think of off the top of my head. A lot of the rest of the dex is open to interpretation. Every gen has added between 130-150 new pokemon, so that's about how many we'll need. If it's alright with everyone, I'd like to create a blank image numbered 1-130 that everyone can update with new sprites or ideas?

EDIT: Think something like this. The boxes are for the actual sprites and there's enough room above them for people to add a name or quick description of their idea.

 

[Cosmotone8]

I had an idea a while back of doing the five senses instead of a trio. It could be used in place of a trio. Just a thought. :)

 

[pokemew12]

i like the five senses idea. but what would they be?? like a hand or an ear or something?? i guess with teh hand it could be facing backwards and the wrist cutoff could be the face or something... please tell me what you had in mind for the senses. im not a very good idea person, so idk...

 

[Cosmotone8]

I didnt think of ideas but they wouldnt be as you described. It would almost be like the lake trio of sinnoh, but humanoid, I guess. But even just a humanoid thing would work. We'd have different types for all of them.

 

[pokemew12]

sry... i was gone for a few days... but i can draw some humanoids for ideas...

 

[Cosmotone8]

Sounds good. :D I will definetly check them all later

 

[pokemew12]

do you have a type in mind for each one yet?? that way i dont run in blind on what to draw

 

[Cosmotone8]

I dunno.... Maybe we should have a poll, cause I don't want to really make this decision alone. So, on that note, if you are part of the team and want to voice your opinion, go ahead.
