2. Quick Update
====================================

Lately, development has taken a backseat to real life, as the majority of the team is working diligantly at school, but not to worry, as when Christmas Break rolls along, Minor will be free to code, and the rest of us will be free to do what our specialties are.

Check back at this section, as we will post in here about the updates we make to the topic.

====================================
3. Introduction [An Exerpt from PokéCommunity Forums]
====================================

I'm sure that the name Pokémon Scarlet is a name that most of you are familiar with, as well as I assume that most of you have heard of Pokémon Iridium. My name is Minorthreat, and I am the creator of Pokémon Iridium. Not too long ago Houdoomed asked me if I would take over the reigns of Scarlet and help him by continuing his wonderful project. At first I was skeptical, Iridium was important to me, I wasn't too keen on giving it up completely. I spent many days contemplating the prospects of the deal, and I ultimately realized, why not take what was superb about Iridium, and incorporate it in the my own version of Pokémon Scarlet. This version of Pokémon Scarlet is what you see here today.

Enough about me, lets talk about Pokémon Scarlet. Pokémon Scarlet began way back in February 2007, and has suffered the same fate as Iridium many times. We have gone through many changes and many losses, the struggles that Pokémon Scarlet has faced has only made it stronger. The project has been handed around many times to many developers, but none of them have been able to breathe life into the project. However, this time is different, we have made a lot of progress in the short few months that I have been part of the project. I look forward to your support, and I hope to have you all itching for updates by the end of this thread.

And me? My name is Eebit. I used to frequent these forums, although I was something of a wannabe game designer, sticking mainly to the Request forums. I found Scarlet when it was still a fledgling fan game, being developed by Asuran and Houndoomed [or Nitro Typhoon, as he was known back in those days]. I followed a link over to Scarlet's forums, and asked to join the team, coming on board originally as a Pokémon Concept person. Now, I've taken up the role of coming up with general ideas for the storyline, so I guess that makes me our "writer". I also organize the Pokédex, but that's really no big deal.

Now, why have I brought such a fangame back to hbgames.org? I believe that maybe Scarlet needs some more support, as we don't see many faces around our forums anymore. It would be nice to get some moral support, so that the team has something to strive for... But enough about us; you're here for Pokémon Scarlet. And that's what I will give you.

Without further ado, Pokémon Scarlet!

6. The Story
====================================

Pokémon Scarlet takes place 15 years before the events of Pokémon R/B/Y (even though new Pokémon feature in Shiozu, they do not appear in any other region). You play as a young Lance, who grows up to be one of the world's most famous Pokémon Masters, and one of the Kanto Elite Four. Lance’s cousin, Clair, is also a character in this game. Clair grows up to be the Gym Leader of Blackthorn City Gym. Both Lance and Clair move to Blackthorn City when they are older. Pokémon Scarlet expands the history of these two characters in an exciting and new, not used before in a Pokémon game, way.

Now before you knock the story for being so cliché, I'd like to remind you that it will end up being a little more mature than the Nintendo Pokémon games, but it will still contain the child-like playfulness of the Nintendo games. We have to keep inside of a certain "guidebox" of the Nintendo storyline, so please keep that in mind. The story will likely end up being changed, as this is a rough idea.

So without further ado, I present the story of Pokémon Scarlet.

----

Your name is Lance*. You live in the town of Risehome in the region of Shiozu, along with your Aunt and Uncle, and your younger cousin Clair. You have been living here for a long time, and things have always been more and less peaceful... until now.

You and your friend Giovanni are out on Route 297 and he is showing you how to battle. Giovanni has been like an older brother to you for several years, since your parents left to journey faraway lands. Giovanni was also a traveling trainer, but he would always return to Risehome Town to spend the Winter with you. But recently Giovanni took a position as assistant to Prof. Maple, who has a lab in Risehome. After Giovanni finishes your lesson he tells you to head home and that he will see you in the morning, on your birthday.

You wake up the next morning to your cousin yelling for you. She says that she was up in Steadytree Town and she saw some shady looking characters hanging around. She decided that you and her would go talk to Prof. Maple and see if you could get your first Pokémon.
You head downstairs, where your Aunt is waiting for you. She allows you to go and get your Pokémon from Prof. Maple. Once you arrive at Prof. Maple's Lab, one of her other Aides says that she and Giovanni have gone to the Dragon Shrine in the eastern part of Risehome Town, and that you should go there if you needed to see her. You and Clair make your way to see Prof. Maple and Giovanni, you ask her about getting your first Pokémon, and she says that you are in luck because she has brought three Pokémon with her. You insist that Clair chooses first, but she declines, because it is your birthday, and you should choose first. You choose first, and then Clair chooses hers.

As soon as Clair made her choice the three of you are ambushed by two shady looking characters. You and Clair use your new Pokémon to battle the two shady characters, however in the excitement of battle you and Clair fail to notice that Prof. Maple and Giovanni are now missing. You and Claire look around, but can only find Giovanni’s hat, which must have fallen off when he and Prof. Maple were taken.

You and Clair rush back to your house to talk with your Aunt about what had just happened. You tell her about the horrible thing that just happened. After you tell your story you decide to check around town to see if there are any more clues to who took Giovanni and Prof. Maple. Near the entrance to Route 297 you find a note which reads: “Capture the Professor, and bring her to HQ. I will follow.” It seems that this plan was orchestrated by someone, but whoever wrote the note did not sign it.
Clair comes to the conclusion that Prof. Maple must know something that these people want. You two decide that you will try to find this ‘HQ’ and rescue Prof. Maple. Clair says that you can still be a Pokémon Trainer at the same time. She believes that if you train your Pokémon by defeating all of the Gym Leaders in Shiozu, you would be strong enough to defeat the people who kidnapped Prof. Maple and Giovanni.
The two of you return to Clair’s house and tell your Aunt your decision. She is proud of your decision to rescue Prof. Maple and Giovanni, and gives you permission to go. Your Uncle then gives you a pair of Running Shoes as a birthday gift.

And with that, you and Clair begin your quest for rescuing Prof. Maple, but with many questions, the most important being why exactly these people want Prof. Maple. What would she know that they were so desperate for that they would be willing to kidnap her? You won’t know until you find this ‘HQ’ and rescue Prof. Maple.

* Note that you can choose any name for yourself. Lance is the default name.

====================================
7. The New Pokémon of Shiozu

The land of Shiozu is a large and populous region, known for its warm tropical climate and several attractions. But it is also well known for the many mysteries and folklore surrounding it.
For generations, there have been several tales about the Dragon Gods and the balance of Dark and Light they have provided for the region ever since it came into existence. Tragony, the Dragon of Pain and Sorrow, and Luciter, the Dragon of Peace and Harmony.
There is also an ancient tale of a legendary city that was lost to the sea centuries ago, and a Pokémon so powerful that could destroy the entire region if ever awoken that rests there - Atlantia. It is also said that it was Tragony and Luciter who caused the fall of Atlantia, and who caused the lost city to be plummeted to the bottom of the sea in the first place all those centuries ago, solely to prevent Atlantia from destroying the region. And surely, if Atlantia was ever awoken from its ancient slumber, all hope would indeed be lost.
Are these legends true? Or simply just myth...?

Thanks a bunch, to all supporters of Scarlet! We look forward to your continued enthusiasm!

If you would like to receive any further information about the game, go ahead and join us, over at our forums. There is a link in my signature, but here is the link anyways.

We're always looking for new faces around there, and don't let the lack of activity get you down. We have just recovered from a server crash, so we're just hoping that someone will pop on by and offer their talents.

====================================
13. Want to help?
====================================
We are currently looking for a spriter who can help us sprite Trainers in DP style, and a Talented RGSS scripter. Also, we are looking for some musicians for the game, since we would LOVE to use custom tunes for Scarlet.

Thanks to everyone for their endless support. We'd be nowhere without you. On behalf of the Scarlet team, I hope you enjoy Pokémon Scarlet!

 

[gRaViJa]

Wow, this is utterly impressive!
One thing: you have to add online multiplayer battles. it can be done with netplay and it would make this fangame a huge succes if released. About when do you think you will be releasing this?

 

[gRaViJa]

By the way, this project has screenshots and has been worked on a lot, which means this project should be in project discussion, not concept development. That way, this project will bet much more attention.(which it deserves).

 

[eebit]

Say, there you are topic~ I thought I lost you... ;3;
I thought I did post this in Project Discussion, how very odd. Oh well, if a mod sees this maybe they could move it for me? That'd be lovely.

Thanks so much for your comments, gRaViJa! Although I'm not head of the project, I can tell you that online multiplayer is something we are looking into... Although, on a release date, I can't really pin something down... We've barely started the game! [This is probably the... third restart Scarlet has gone through.] I will ask Minor for you if NetPlay would be useful for multiplayer.

 

[yuoaman]

Nice job with the topic eebit. :P

For those who didn't read the team roster, I am Yuoaman, one of the mappers/writers for Scarlet. I'm the one who took all of the ideas thrown about by the Staff and formed it into the story you see in the original post, it actually wasn't that hard, as the staff was very thorough with their ideas.

I also mapped the town with the first gym in it, which you can't see in this thread at the moment.

I'm glad to see others like how Scarlet's coming along. :D

 

[Pokémaniac]

Your sprites are really blurry... Not even JPG blurry, just blurry. ;_;

This looks like a good project, if not a bit ambitious. I wish your team good luck!

 

[yuoaman]

I don't see any blurring... :\

Could you explain a little more clearly, I'm not understanding what you mean.

 

[Jason]

Your sprites are really blurry... Not even JPG blurry, just blurry. ;_;

This looks like a good project, if not a bit ambitious. I wish your team good luck!

Uhh, I'm not sure you understand the concept of blurry, they don't have a hint of it at all, and they're .png files anyways...

Care to point out where it is...

 

[Pokémaniac]

See how the body all melds together in a blurry mess? It's not technically blurry but that is certainly how it looks.

 

[eebit]

I can't say I really see it... But we've since changed both the trainer sprites and the overworld sprites. Guess I forgot to show them here, but they are at the forums. (The forums DO however seem to be very slow... It'd be nice to see some new faces... *winkwinknudgenudge*)

Here we see the new Lance trainer sprites. This makes him have an older appearance, which is what we're going for.

 

[acrox999]

Looking good so far. Good luck!

 

[Jason]

See how the body all melds together in a blurry mess? It's not technically blurry but that is certainly how it looks.

No, no I do not, I think you need your eyes checking or something to be honest... o.O

@eebit, the new trainer looks pretty cool, although the first did seem more of a trainer, he looks like he;s just come out of an 80's bar, haha, maybe it's the jacket o.O

 

[Glitchfinder]

Based on the usernames I see as team members, I have a question for you. Was this project originally posted at The Pokecommunity Forums? Before I stopped posting there, Poccil's kit had led to a thriving group of RMXP projects, and I wouldn't be surprised if this was one of them. Incidentally, good work on what I can see so far. Much better than the generic games that forced me away from pokecommunity.

Edit: Actually, never mind. Just did a quick check, and managed to find it on the second page at pokecommunity. Looks like you are doing better than the average project over there, though.

 

[Pokémaniac]

Hmm... I think it must be Firefox screwing it up. It doesn't look blurry on Paint/Gimp. =/

 

[acrox999]

It doesn't look blurry, viewing it in this page via IE8.

 

[LordGawain]

Ive got Firefox and it looks ok.
This looks a good project, im liking the story line set before RBY. The story is compelling, we all know Giovanni turns out bad. That is an interesting twist
Are all your pokemon going to be new ones, or are you going to include others? (IE Geodude, Eevee etc)
Also your last gym leader is a master of light Pokemon, you include a new type?
What other features are you gonna include, that make it unique?
I hope this turns out well, it has the potential to.

 

[eebit]

Thanks for the kind comments, everyone!

Just one more day until the majority of our team gets into Christmas Break, so you'll be hearing from us a lot more after that. Minorthreat will resume his work on the game's development, and hopefully we'll have a little more than just screenshots to show off...

But for now, allow me to show off a screenshot from our game...

This is our Pokemon Status Screen. It's been given a new look, seperating it from other fangames, as well as the official games. The hook of this is that the background colour of the status screen changes to match the primary type of the Pokemon that is being displayed. [In this case, Green for Grass, which is Stipoldos' main type.]

I've also updated our Pokedex, which has recently had a couple changes made to it. New Pokemon are now in the Pokedex, such as Slushpy and Nymphin, courtesy of Riceeman.

Based on the usernames I see as team members, I have a question for you. Was this project originally posted at The Pokecommunity Forums? Before I stopped posting there, Poccil's kit had led to a thriving group of RMXP projects, and I wouldn't be surprised if this was one of them. Incidentally, good work on what I can see so far. Much better than the generic games that forced me away from pokecommunity.

Edit: Actually, never mind. Just did a quick check, and managed to find it on the second page at pokecommunity. Looks like you are doing better than the average project over there, though.

Yeah, this project has been posted in a number of places, including Creation Asylum, RPG RPG Revolution, and PokeCommunity. We're really trying hard to bring our own community back, and raise awareness for our project. It's an exciting thing for us!
Yeah, we're using Poccil's PokeEssentials. It's a phenomenal starter kit, and it really helps us out with what we're trying to accomplish.

This looks a good project, im liking the story line set before RBY. The story is compelling, we all know Giovanni turns out bad. That is an interesting twist
Are all your pokemon going to be new ones, or are you going to include others? (IE Geodude, Eevee etc)
Also your last gym leader is a master of light Pokemon, you include a new type?
What other features are you gonna include, that make it unique?
I hope this turns out well, it has the potential to.

Thanks! We hope we can please the people that follow our project.
Yeah, Light is our new type... It's kind of overdone, but it's a welcome addition to our game.
I can't really say what we plan to have, since some of it gets wrapped up into hidden features of the game, but we hope to have online, if we can get it working.
As for other Pokemon; yes, I do believe we plan to include them all... I may be wrong, however, so don't hold me to it!

eebit:"We are currently looking for a spriter who can help us sprite Trainers in DP style"

Hi eebit, I'd like to help out in this department. I sent you a PM a while ago. Please check it!

Sorry for taking so much time to get back to you, chibi and Skaylea, I've just replied to your PM's. Sorry for the delays!

So anywho, onto game news...

Pokemon Heart Gold and Soul Silver have really changed the designs behind Lance and Clair, so likewise we here at Scarlet have been forced to reconsider our designs of both Lance and Clair, and guess what!

This is the outcome! Included here are the new frontview trainer sprites of Lance and Clair, as well as a sample of the overworld style we are using at Scarlet.

Tell us what you think about these new designs!
