  7. So the new movie debunks the theory that the eeveelutions became the legendary beasts which kinda pisses me off because thats way cooler than them representing water, fire and thunder

  8. @returnofdicie:disqus, I’m replying to you here because of the late response (sorry about that!). I don’t have a DeviantArt, but I made this instead 🙂
    Everyone, I’ve made an imgur album containing all the artwork I have for my game so far. This also includes the region map and some character mugshots, which I’m not sure I’ve posted in the past. Enjoy! 🙂

      • I’ll have to get back on you for that. If you see any of the maps and feel drawn/inspired to making something, the go for it! Right now my roommate is doing all the music composition, but he hasn’t done much b/c his laptop broke. I’m not sure what you use to compose, but he uses a program called Finale

        • Hi, I use logic pro x – i can definitely choose a map that I like and make something for it – do you have anywhere i could send you the file when im done? I can convert it into .wav, .mp3, .aif etc.

          Thanks!

        • How will i get the music files to you? Also, do you want a realistic sound, a synthy sound or a sound similar to the gameboy Pokemon games

          • Hi! Sorry for the late reply, I was busy w/some work. You can contact me at [email protected]
            .wav works fine.
            I had wanted the music to resemble that of other Pokemon games, but I’d prefer consistency. Because of that, I’ve linked the one theme I have so far that my roommate made. I don’t know much about music, but I guess you’d call it realistic 🙂

          • From what i hear it sounds pretty soundfont based or at least more similar to music from a game than realistic. When i said realistic I meant like XY or Sun and Moon realistic, but i’ll try to get as close to this as possible
