My game Starts out like your ordinary pokemon game. A professor gives you the basics, you shrink down into little you.
Only, this is where it changes.

Storyline:

Spoiler

You wake up in the middle of the night to find a Charizard outside ravaging through your quaint town. Rushing down your stairs you find your house destroyed, and have to fight through some active time maneuvers to make it out of the house. Once outside, The story progresses to you coming to realize that pokemon have gone Evil, and no one knows why. Worst of all, You come to acquire knowledge that this is happening all over Kanto Region, and that Team Rockets Headquarters was annihilated by unknown sources. With no leads, RED, and Green's Son, You set out on what seems to be the most dangerous journey yet - to fight against Pokemon.

Characters:

Spoiler

You: (Boy = Dark / Girl = Sky)
A new villager. Moved in a few years previous, Just discovering the scene of Pokemon, Even though your parents seemed to be hiding a good number of facts that you're unaware of.

Greens Son: Teal
(Green = Gary, Like in the japanese manga. Blue = The Girl, like in the manga.)
He's Blue and Greens Son.
All information given at this time.

Red: Happened to be visiting the town giving Oak information from other regions. His mother passed a few years previously, and you moved into her House.

Prof Oak: Still as badass as always.

Battle System:

Spoiler

ALSO DIFFERENT,
this is unlike any pokemon game. you're not required to catch any pokemon, nor "kill them all"
The battle system is going to be like Tales of Eternia. If you have never played, here are some videos.
This is all i'm going to release on this as its the least of my concerns right now. If you have questions though i will answer them.

Q: What do you need help with?

A: Making tiles/ Sprites. I have alot of ideas and I can't do everything because my experience in all of the areas required isn't as broad as I would like. if you're willing to help, and can Sprite, Make/Edit tiles, please lend us a hand.
I need especially atm tiles of buildings/ terrain thats destroyed and fits the "pokemon" look. Obviously ill show you what i have so far and would love to see what you can Do.

A2: Battle Sprites. Not worrying about these yet because they're probably going to be the most tricky to come up with. If you have experience for making bsprites for types of battle systems like the one above, I'd love some info.

Q: Anything else?

A: Yes, Also would like overworld animations. I'm not sure how to explain this, but lets say I wanted to have Pokemon using skills in a custom Event made in the town. Well, I would require moves, or animations, for example if Charizard used Fire blast I'd like to be able to show it being used. So the people can recognize the skill as it should look from manga/ game. Obviously that'd be difficult, and i'm sure thats one of the last things to worry about for now.

A2: Also, I wish someone who was just god-mode at RPG XP could just teamviewer with me and if i had questions could just show me how to fix them. Honestly an hour of that would just make me a better game maker x10. If i had someone like that on my team i'm pretty sure I wouldn't be having the issues i'm having now with my game.

Q: Wish List?

A: How I would love to have 3d Beautiful Cutscenes. Would love to show you wake up and say what was that noise after hearing a roar, then showing a beautiful Cutscene of Charizard flying through your town roasting your buildings and townfolk. that'd be epic. Of course, thats doesn't seem to be doable and I'm moving on without this for now.

A2: Voice Acting. I can do some good voices, but I doubt i know any girls that would be interested, or if this even matters right now. This is probably last thing to do on the list, because There's plenty of more important things to worry about.

A3: Choices effecting Storyline. I would love to have alternate endings, choices effecting gameplay, Options to acquire different parties, Etc.

My team So far:

Me: Everything. whatever needs to be done i'm the one working the longest on it. I'm not the best at any of it, and I always encounter problems because I suck. Though I have the ideas and the will, And i'm hoping that will push me to the end.
Phoenix: Scripter. Hes studying Ruby. Going to help me later.( Not much time to contribute, would love someone else.)
Inari: Scripter. Majoring in coding/programming. Doesn't know ruby but doesn't need to. He's a code boss. Except, He's hella lazy and rarely wants to do any work.
DeviantArtGuy: He's making my sprites here and there. not much time to contribute either, would love someone who I could ask and they could do a multitude of work for me.
Diagostimo: He's been a huge help to me. Showing me things, teaching me priorities, and resizing pokemon sprites as well as eventing. He's busy, and therefore I could still use someone who could contribute time to spriting, as well as the things below.
Emmy: She's my hottie musician. plenty of freesites for pokemon music too, So unless someone specializes in making/finding pokemusic i'm p covered here.
(Tiler):
(Scripter):
(Mapper 2):
(Spriting):
(Other):
(I could be on this team):
If you think you have an idea or something to contribute, please shoot it at me and if you can show it being used effectively or already have it done, Show me and I'll tell you what I Think. Or if you're the type that if I gave you work you could print out just what I need, this is another type of person that I'd really love to have on the team. So please, if you're great at making things and have free time, throw some help my way kayyy?

If I left anything out or have any questions, PLEASE post below.
