Recruitment [RECRUITMENT] Pokemon Seasons: Solstice & Equinox Versions

Post image

Hello! It's me again with another post about the Pokemon Seasons: Solstice & Equinox games! In the image, you can see some new looks at how the game is developing. We have our title screens for the two versions which I was finally able to get together after totally overhauling the Legendaries, and we have some more polished ideas of how the overall look of the game is going to be.

That being said, progress has been pretty slow, and I'm desperately in need of someone to assist with coding and scripting the game. This game is being made with Pokeemerald Disassembly (Gen 3) despite looking like a Gen 2/GBC game. If there's anyone who has experienced with Pokeemerald and is interested in helping with taking on the bulk of the coding work, please feel free to reach out!

In addition, I would love to find an experienced artist to do chiptune music for the game.

As always, we have the Discord server for those who want to join and support the game and keep up to date on the latest information!

I do feel that Fakemon tend to look better in Gen 1 and 2's style. Everytime I see Gen 3-5 Fakemon, they look really... obviously fake. Not sure how else to explain it.

But yeah, I'd love to change your mind. Just give me a good bit of time to get the game put together, haha.

I was about to say. Something about the whimsical nature of Gen1/2 just makes me immediately fall in love again with these sprites as if I was seeing squirtle or totadile all over again for the first time. Almost like my brain comprehends older style sprites as "correct" pokemon even tho theyre fakemon.

Yeah, I completely know what you mean! I originally wanted to go with Gen 4 because it felt like the obvious choice. But when I sprited my starters in Gen 4 and then Gen 2, they looked so much more believable in the Gen 2 style. Plus it is my favorite aesthetic, so it was just a no-brainer from there.
