haha don't worry! We ask a lot of people about the sprites. Most of them said that the new bat sprite is way better, so we are going to keep it at that for now

I don't know if that's what you are looking for: http://pokemonessentials.wikia.com/wiki/Mini-games
scroll down to the tile puzzles. The only thing you need to make yourself are the graphics.
You can see a reference for how the graphics should be in your graphics->Pictures->Tile Puzzle folder.
See the kabuto puzzle for example.

The spoiler is just quoting @groniack since half the words on my end got cut off for some reason. So its really only for my benefit of seeing the sentences whole as I type this.
Ahhh cute bat it's adorbs I'm in love, I like the vampiric look
As for the frog, regardless of whether the suit is real I think the concept is interesting. Would I feel bad for attacking it? No not at all.
Criticism wise:
With the bat, is the yellow colouration on its feet supposed to represent shoes? I don't exactly hate it but for some reason my eyes are drawn there. Maybe the stomach could be 'rounder' Honestly I find it hard to fault.
The frog; the blue colouration for the underside of the lip is quite bright, I'd recommend making it darker with a lower saturation, the same can also be said for the blue on the toes. I think it works well with the face but not with the rest of the body. I think some of the outlines could be darker as well in some places, more around the feet I think:
I like the gym leader's design as well, I think the outline for the hair could be a bit darker, or not all the same shade. As for typing, Grass and bug seem obvious so let's change some things up and I'll guess: I'll still go with grass but also ground as well
First up, thanks for the credit, I didn't mind if you used it since was just a suggestion for colour, but again thanks. I probably like the sprite on the right just because I like the spots being lighter and more pronounced, but now I need to criticize myself by saying I left purple outline on the tail and ears. You really don't know when you make a mistake until you see it again after not seeing it in a while.
haha, the purple pixels are my bad, forgot to remove them the previous time you mentioned it
So about the bat... you find it cute? Lol, I tried my best to make it look intimidating! Don't let its looks fool you. It's a really cunning pokemon!
Spritingwise: Do you think changing the color on its feet to gray (like the color of its belly) would be better?
Spoiler
I also made some edits on its body. Tell me if it looks better this way
As for the frog, thanks for the good job! We may end up keeping it the way you posted it. Love it!
When I said that the Gym Leaders might use more than one certain type I wasn't necessarily speaking for this one. But who knows. You might have got it right
Anyway, thanks for the quality feedback again! You have been a huge help so far!

woah, it's been a long time since we updated this thread! But don't worry! We haven't stopped working on this project. Over the last month the development was slower because of real life, but we are back at it again!
So, for this update, I have some early encounters for you:
originally, the bat had a different color but we decided to give it a more vampiric look!
As for the frog, it doesn't actually wear a suit. It's the coloration of its belly like that.
So, what are your thoughts on them? Would you feel bad when attacking our business frog?
Also, I would like to present to you our first Gym Leader!
Once a gangster, now a gym leader. Hatori left his old life back and climbed his way up to become one of the most respected individuals in his city. His battle style though hasn't changed. It remains merciless! You'd better not underestimate him!
I don't want to spoil too much about him since a lot of things will be revealed in the game. You can make guesses on what type of pokemon he uses and stuff like that if you want
In our game, gyms won't necessarily be one-type exclusive. Some Gym Leaders may use more than one type of pokemon.
We are trying to keep the battles hard and fair at the same time. Expect lots of custom field effects!
Finally, I would like your opinion on this:
left or right? We have asked a lot of people this question and we don't have a clear winner yet...
Whichever is the final choice, @Felcatty will be credited for her suggestion and coloration of the sprite.
Anyway, we hope to keep you updated more often from now on

The present protagonist will get more screen time, but the past protagonist will still do more than just reveal information about the regions history. There is somewhat of an overarching story between the two times, they are not totally separate stories in the same world, even though it may sometimes appear that way. In terms of Mystics, it is an ability that passes down through genes, so it is like a genetic trait. In the present day story, they have the technology to test whether somebody is a Mystic or not.
oh I see. Makes sense! You seem to have put a lot of thought in this.
Good luck with this project.
-
I remember your idea about mystics from your other post! It's great that you continue working on it, adding new stuff and changing others.
about the 2 main characters: Will they get the same screen time, or will the one from the past be used so as to reveal some needed information to the player from the past? Personally, I would prefer the later since the constant switching from past to present and vice versa might get a bit tiresome. But it might be just me
about mystics: Apart from seeing a mystic fusing with a pokemon, are there any other features that indicate that person is actually a mystic? I am quite curious since both the government and the terrorist group knew that Sofia was a mystic while she didn't even know it herself.
All in all, this sounds really interesting. Keep up the good job and don't worry about the slow progress. Good things require time!
-
It's great to see more new projects poping up!
I like your ideas of changing the gym system. It's quite refreshing!
I have a question though. Will all the trainers that come to this region have to start a pokemon journey anew? I mean it would be kinda weird to see Steven and Cynthia with starter pokemon and stuff. Or will you come to this region with a "ready to battle" team?
Anyway, I like your ideas and of course your artwork! If you need any help with eventing in RPG Maker, you should consider checking atomic reactor's videos. They helped me a lot. Here is a link to them:
Another channel worth checking is that of thundaga. Here is a link for it too:
I am currently working on an other fangame, so I can't really be an active member of your project, but if you need any help, feel free to ask. I can script and sprite a little bit.
Continue being passionate about what you are doing!

It's ok dude
We are happy you expressed your opinion on the designs! Our fakemon will get better and better as time passes and we get more experienced in spriting.

These don't really look like Pokemon...
Are you talking about all the new ones or are you talking about some of them? It would be nice to know which ones are not like pokemon so as to work on them again...

Funnily enough, I had the same issue with making Blacephalon a starter as I did with the Battle Factory issue mentioned in the post above this. I had to shorten its internal name to "BLACE" (its public name, which is separate from internal name, still displays as Blacephalon). Theoretically shortening the internal names of Pokemon could also resolve the Battle Factory issue, but I'd have to edit every single mention of those Pokemons' names in every PBS file where they're mentioned, and in any ingame events where they're received. But I've decided on the idea of all the rentals being first stage Pokemon at level 5. I think work on the Battle Frontier will go quicker now that I fully know what I want to do with the Factory.
For your issue try this:
pbAddPokemon( PBSpecies::BUTTERFREE,100)You just open the parenthesis on the first line and continue on the next one. It works for me
Keep up the good job!

This sounds really interesting! Good luck with your project. If I weren't working on another game, I would join you on this one. If you want any help with rpg maker or with some coding, I can help you. But don't expect too much...
Anyway, I hope your game turns out great!
-
@Felcatty Thanks a lot
This is actually really encouraging for us to continue our project!
Hmmm... those critical hits when the opponent is in red hp is a really common thing, huh? Happens to me all the time, too!

Oooo wow, so this is the game in development you guys were asking questions for. It looks and sounds interesting.
The starters look cute, I'm a bird lover so the water type immediately caught my attention.
Although they look nice, I do have a few issues with them:
To me the black outlines are really solid and detract from a natural flow, in other words I feel like they section different aspects and it feels like I'm only looking at a single feature rather than the whole pokemon. Some of the outlines in the water's second evo also look a little off to me as well.
Something I only noticed with the fire type starter is that sometimes 1x1 pixels are used while other times there are 2x2 pixels. Personally I think the head also needs a bit of shading but that's just me.
Examples of what I mean:
It's not perfect by any means but I just wasn't a fan of the black outlines. Also some of the yellows were quite bright and slightly clashed with the white highlight, but that's me being picky about a colour that's tricky to use.
Using a 2x2 pixel grid, I can clearly see the different pixels used. From what you've done so far it appears like you're using 2x2.
This is just my opinion, and for your first time doing fakemon, they look good and I know that you're still improving so keep it up.
Thanks a lot for the feedback! I get what you are saying about the black outlines, we will try to get rid of them
How did you notice the 1x1 pixels at the fire starter? Lol, I tried to hide it. This one was originally made with 2x2 pixels but it turned out a bit smaller than we wanted. So I just went and resized it.
Anyway, thanks a lot for the reply! We will do our best to make them as good as possible.
Have you seen the trainer class feature that's going to be included in the game? If so, what are your thoughts on it? -
here is the txt file for the items in essentials. Just replace your old file with this!

Id appreciate the help
go to your PBS Files folder and go to items.txt. There replace the first line with this:
1,REPEL,Repel,1,350,An item that prevents weak wild Pokémon from appearing for 100 steps after its use.,2,0,0,This should fix this error
-
I agree with the others about the short version. That way you can hear the players' opinion and improve your content for the next version.

There lots of great fan games out there! I really enjoyed playing every game that I tried so far but two of them stand out the most.
1) Pokemon Reborn. There are a lot of reasons for this choice. The idea for field effects, every different character has each own personality, it touches a wide variety of topics and although it's a difficult game, I wouldn't say it's unfair.
2)Pokemon Uranium. Loved the fakemon there, the new type had a really interesting concept, great music and the story was awesome! It wasn't that challenging, apart from certain battles, but that didn't bother me at all. It actually inspired me to add fakemon in the game I am trying to create!
-
Most of fan games are made in rpg Maker xp and pokemon essentials. To get started I would recommend you to watch some tutorials on youtube. I found atomic reactor's tutorials really helpful. You should check them out here:

Ummm
I think he's referring to what I did
Oh, I didn't see the edit
Thanks for working on it! I really like the white-gold combo in this! Although there is a little issue. I will PM you because I don't want to spoil some things here

Took a look at the recolor of the cover pokemon, and personally I think it looks better than the original.
Well, actually we didn't recolor the cover pokemon. We might consider changing it when we reveal it whole. Some parts of it are hidden by our game's logo so you still haven't seen the whole thing
Edit: Nevermind, I didn't actually see uberle's work

Love these! Do you make them from scratch?

I didn't specify everything here, but I can give you general overview. Yes, the decisions you make in game exceptionally shift the plotlines for ALL characters, not just a few. And believe if or not, it will be morality based on realism. Any Pokémonyou "mistreat" (aka, using it as an HM slave, use them as fooder to heal other pokemon, etc...) there will be the chance of you losing your Pokémon... I'd go into more detail, but I don't want to give too much away.
Haha! This got me interested! I always felt bad for turning certain pokemon to HM slaves. Hope your ideas help bring equality to all pokemon!

@DemICE thanks a lot! Hope we continue bringing pokemon of the same quality.
@Felcatty have a nice recovery! I hope you get better soon.
I agree with everything you said! Dislash's design is based on a therizinosaurus. It's not a very popular dino species, so we thought it needed some more love
As for the rock on the leg near the rhino's head... I will never see this one the same way lol.
anyway, we were thinking of altering the outlines a little but too for the rhino line. It's nice that you mentioned that.
thanks a bunch!!
