Poké Academy: Pet Project #2

[BugCatcher6]

Yes I know the first project is not complete yet and there are still classes going on, but I have more ideas I want to get going before I forget.

This project is more for the artist, story tellers, and fantasy members.

I want to make a fake PokéDex. With the release of Pokémon Sun and Pokémon Moon, the PokéDex will be built based on exploring the new Region of Rcadia.

I will be posting a new sticky thread once I get all the details figured. The first thing I would like to do is decided the 3 Starter Pokemon. Should it be Grass/Fire/Water types as usual or should the starters follow a new type set?

Ideas for Starter Types


Fight/Dark/Psychic
Steel/Ground/Ice
Rock/Ground/Ice
Fight/Ice/Flying

Do all those types fit the rock, paper, scissor layout of Grass/Fire/Water? Are there any other types that would fit this layout?

[revelp8]

just a question, those poke-ideas you just came up with, are they triple-typing???

[mikona]

No, I think that he means that each starter would have one of those types.

I noticed on #4 though, Fighting and Bug do not very effective damage on one another, it's not really exactly how it usually is...the others look fine from my perspective of not understanding types very well.

Oh, and I'd love to be included in this. I'm more of a writer, so I'd be happy to write the entries, or at least some of them. I could try doing the sprites (assuming we would be doing those), but I've never tried scratch spriting before.

[Trombones13]

So, I tried this out on Crater last year, and then dragged it over into my forum, where it rests without activity right now. So, I'm willing to help this project with PokeDex entries, my Fakemon ideas, fake Attacks and Abilities, etc. :)

How 'bout

Rock/Steel/Fire
?

[mikona]

How 'bout

Rock/Steel/Fire
?
I think Rock beats Steel (correct me if I'm wrong, please)

[Jawz3920939]

steel = se against rock. rock beats fire & fire beats steel.

[BugCatcher6]

Thank you I misread my type chart and it is Psychic not Bug that does Super Effective damage to Fight.

sounds fun, so im in.
do we actually make a pokemon up and write a report/description then a pic?

Picture if you can. I am just looking for the details of a Pokemon for a new game. Could be as simple as a new evolution or if anew Pokemon with just one form.

Could even be a Legendary. I will post more details soon, but discussion can take place here.

[mikona]

I'd really like to learn to scratch sprite for this project (and just in general). I'll have to look at some tutorials, but I'm sure I would also benifit from some private teaching.

I have no idea what you just said. I don't think I am the teacher for that job.

[Jawz3920939]

I have an idea for a fakemon that I will post as soon as I perfect it. I might scan in my drawing. it's pretty sick. two stages, etc. moer later

[Trombones13]

Hey, Buzz, scratch spriting is when you make new sprites for Pokemon without using parts from old Pokemon. If you'd like, I can show you some images made from my Fakedex. By the way, a lot of them are made by Scarlet; I can talk to her about this, as well.

Mmmmm o.k. *pretends he knows what is still going on* her-her.

[BugCatcher6]

This is a general guide I came up with for creating new Pokémon. Let me know what you think and if I missed any detail or if I added to many. I was already told by belnumcree that the Extras section may be a bit to much information he-he.



Name

Each stage would need a name


Abilities

Old or New


Moves

Old or New

Weight

example: 1.1 lbs


Weaknesses

If you can figure them out from the Types.

Moves

Level Up Moves
TMs/HMs
Egg Moves

Some Pokémon may only learn 1 Level Up move, some may not learn TMs/HMs, and some don't have Egg Moves, so you don't have to add them all if you don't want.

Base Happiness

How much a Pokémon likes you after capturing it.
example: 0-100

Ok, I'll get to work on one set. I got an idea a few days ago. There aren't any cloud Pokemon, and I was thinking of a chain of clouds, it would start with cirrus, the high wispy clouds, then evolve into a stratus, which are the lower flat clouds, and then into a cumulus which are the ones that make big thunderheads. It's just an idea, I might try a sprite, though it will stink and probably be redone by someone who can scratch sprite.

I'm sure you all knew about what clouds were what, but thanks for letting me babble anyway :D.

Not a bad idea, just remember that Pokemon names usually take from 2 words. Like Squirtle is squirt and turtle.

I have an idea for an ant Pokemon, just have to work on it a bit more, but the starting stage will be called Anvae. A combination of Ant and Larvae.

[mikona]

Mmkay...it still needs work, and I might also like to do another fish Pokemon. Maybe something that has a third stage, so it might be a bit stronger? I dunno. I'll stick with clouds for now.

Clouds sound awesome. It would be weird to have the first stage like Flying, second stage Flying/Water, and the 3rd stage Dark/Electric he-he.

Going from a nice cloud to a mild drizzle to a wicked storm he-he.

I like that idea. I can start nice and light, then get heavier and darker as it evolves. I can't decide what the face should look like. Maybe it should look peacful in the first stage but start looking more wicked as it goes along?

[BugCatcher6]

Maybe something like this.

Kinda a ghost look though.

Or a Final Fantasy Bomb image.

[mikona]

Good ideas, but I was thinking of something cuter for the first stage, like most are. I like the bomb face for the third stage though...

[belnumcree]

I love the cloud concept. :-D

Bonus for the FF reference. lol :-D Though those things were always irritating in game.

Yeah the Bombs were the only thing I could think of that looked like a cool cloud he-he.

[Jawz3920939]

Hey, I'm making some crappy pictures of my ideas on appleworks. They'll be here in a sec, so stay tuned!!

[BugCatcher6]

No need to be a Picasso. I am no artist, so don't worry about how they look.

[Jawz3920939]

actually, I used to take appleworks classes in Elementary school, back when they offered cool stuff like that, so they will look pretty epic.;)

[mikona]

Sweet. I can't wait to see them.

I like the FF reference too. In tactics they're annoying with the exploding thing. And then there's Crystal Chronicles where they often explode after you kill them...but I'm getting off-topic.

I started filling out the form you put up Buzz, but I'm not sure on everything. I need to decide on the names, I tried using "Cirrus" and "Cloud" together for the first one, and it came out "Sirroud", which sounds kind of like "Shroud" which is actually a synonym of "Cloud" (different meaning, but hey). I've yet to come up with something that's anything like that for the others yet.

[Trombones13]

To anyone building names, I recommend looking at lists of synonyms. That way, your names sound better than just using the same word every time. If you don't understand (I can see why; that didn't come out right at all like I wanted it to...), PM me and I'll show you some names I made for my dex last year.

[BugCatcher6]

Yeah names can be tough. I looked at ant websites for days ant I came up with Anvae and Larnt. Combos of Ant and Larvae.

[Trombones13]

Yep; that's sometimes what you gotta do. The ants I had in mine were named Minant (mini + ant) -> Coonusk (cocoon + husk) -> Rougante (rogue/rouge + ant). Yeah, the names could be better; after all, the 1-year anniversary of my finishing the naming of all of them just passed on the 30th.

[Jawz3920939]

stay tuned... till tomorrow.:(

[mikona]

I managed to make an image of the first stage:

http://i306.photobucket.com/albums/nn250/mikonaia/sirroudprototype.png

By no means is this the final sprite. In fact it's the gases off of Ghastly colored blue with a face added to it. I tried to have the look of faint mischievousness, but have it look kind of cute still. It turned out like a jack-o-lantern. I was mostly trying it for inspiration. If anyone has any ideas I'd love to hear them.

That is cool. I wonder about Altaria wings with like Cleffa's face?

[Kiwi]

I just saw this and I'm thinking that if enough people were intersted we could have groups of 3 people, we have to think of a new set of starters and we each do one. So it would be like the starters now (Fire beats Grass, Grass beats Water, Water beats Fire) except maybe different/new types??:cool:
So we would each get a while to discuss and decide what types, then we would say what we are going to do, and get working. :cool:
What do you guys think??

Groups, that is an awesome idea. I posted some types that follow the suit of Grass, Fire, and Water in the first post I think or maybe on the first page.

I would like to get the starters figured out before really getting into other Pokemon, but I would like to have each idea put up for a vote and see what people think before adding to the FakéDex.

[mikona]

Groups might be good...and as for starter types, I kinda like Fight/Ice/Flying. Not sure why. Maybe 'cause I like Ice and Flying (Fighting is pretty good too, but not one of my favorites).

[BugCatcher6]

Maybe a poll is in order,

Ideas


Fire/Water/Grass
Steel/Ground/Ice
Rock/Ground/Ice
Fight/Ice/Flying
Fight/Dark/Psychic

Do these all follow the theme of Fire/Water/Grass? Any other types that would? Also please no sets with Fire, Water, or Grass types.

[mikona]

Hmm...I can't think of any more off the top of my head...

Oh, I tweaked and tweaked with my sprite and finally I got this:

http://i306.photobucket.com/albums/nn250/mikonaia/sirroudproto4.png

Or, if you'd like the colors off of Altaria's clouds (I had to add another shade though):

http://i306.photobucket.com/albums/nn250/mikonaia/sirroudproto4alt.png

I have yet to decide on names for the others.

EDIT: Actually, I did. Although they're not very good names, so they're subject to change.


http://i306.photobucket.com/albums/nn250/mikonaia/Shiwinproto.png
Shiwin

http://i306.photobucket.com/albums/nn250/mikonaia/Elacloud.png
Elacloud

Both are first try prototypes, but anyway.

[Trombones13]

Aww! I like it. :) Maybe the blue one could be the shiny version...

[Jawz3920939]

I'm not sure if this will work but here goes;
Quatchit and Sasquen

they are in a draw format, and only rough drafts. I'll sprite later.
EDIT: didn't work.

[Trombones13]

How are you uploading them? I like ImageShack. In order to upload, they have to be saved to your computer; just press Browse and copy the last link in between IMG tags. :)

[BugCatcher6]

O.K. I have been neglecting this project for to long. Let's get it rolling.

First thing, every game has a region to explore, so let's name ours.

Over the next couple of days post your selection for a Region name and then I will put them into a poll.

My choice is Rcadia. I know Pokémon follows a Japanese island naming system, but this is our game he-he™.

[Taylor Rose]

Buzz,
this is my first try at something like this. do we post are ideas or do we pm them to you? also you want us to make up three starters with abilities and everything correct?

[BugCatcher6]

Starters will be decided on later, let's concentrate on a region first.

I would like them posted so everyone can see. That way there is no, I PM'd you my idea and you did not use it or mention it. I like to keep things upfront and open so everyone knows what is going on.

[BugCatcher6]

Anyone else have any ideas for a region name?
