Scratch

Um... I signed up to be a spriter, so when do we start this? Or did you already finish it? And how do i design sprites for this?

Well, once we get a full team of at least 1 spriter (which is you.), 1 soundtrack artist, 1 idea manager, and 1 scripter, we'll be all set.

For now, we just have to wait.

Sweet, so it's a good thing i signed up now. Hope more people join soon, i can't wait. But what exactly is this? A game for that website? Or just an RPG? And how would i design the sprites?

This is a collaboration for a Scratch RPG in the form of a Scratch Project. The website was just for the form. 

And you can design the sprites like normal. Just make a rough draft, an post it on the forums (as an image.) so you can get other's opinions.
What I'd recommend is making an IMAGE of the BattlMon first rather than just making it in sprite-form.

So i decide what the battlemon look like?
If so, i'll make some new ones up, i won't use the ones i've been drawing forever, LOL. But you're sort of stealing my name for it... T_T you know that right? (just kidding---slightly)

So Sparky, just a question:
Would you like to work on the BattlMon or the Main(ish) Characters (Like human characters.)?

I just did a form, dunno why I'm posting this but just in case you didn't get it 

Well, in that case, I guess you don't need to confirm yourself.

Well, I'd like to do the BattlMon but if I can could I maybe work on the characters too? (if I'm the only spriter) Also, this'll be a little hard cause I'm not allowed to download projects and change them, in case theirs a glitch that'll get in my mom's laptop cause last year i got a virus in mine.... terrible indeed.
Anyway, here's my questions:

I'd like to make BattleMon but could I also make humans if I'm the only spriter?
Will I have to download and remix projects?
And what kind of design do you want? Like the Pokemon video games or something else? Cause I might be able to make them slightly like the Pokemon DS game graphics.

Oh and I won't be too active cause I'm really busy with catching up on homework (and during winter break!!!!) and helping my dad fix some stuff in the house. But I'll work on them whenever i can.

Oh, um Pro? I played a test for another collab yesterday and the controls were WASD. Could we please make our controls the arrow keys? Cause by instinct my fingers go directly towards them. Maybe cause I'm right-handed, but could we please? Maybe once we get more collab members we can have a vote for it.

Yes, you could also make humans. Even if you weren't the only spriter, you're the head, too.
Hm, I don't quite know what you mean by remixing projects. What I plan first is to have the story line, graphics, and everything set up and then script it afterwards. Of course, we can have a few wall detection tests and stuff. But other than that, I'm guessing no...
And, yes, I do want the graphics KINDA like the Pokemon games. I want them kinda like them, but with their own unique twist, maybe. I can't explain it much more...

Now, I want to see everyone's opinion on this story line (It's not the official one, but it may if it get positive imput.). Especially PlasticToad, because he is our head Ideas Manager as well as our only as of right now. I hope you like it, because I put a lot of thought into it. 

So you're a teenager (again, don't have characters so I can't specify.) on a cruse from your home region to explore the vast region of Neovia (Good enough name? I thought it was cool.) in attempt to learn about creatures called BattlMon. You arrive, and are welcomed by a professional ranger. He shows you where to go, and you go to a lab owned by a scientist that studies BattlMon (I REALLY hope I can change the professor thing, too close to Pokemon. But it's a filler for now I guess.). You meet your cousin, who plans to stop a villainous team called _____ (Don't have a name yet, I think we should try to make one without "team" in the beginning.). You decide to help and stuff. 

I don't have a continuation of that, but that's a good beginning-of-the-story to shape upon.

And what do you guys think of this name for the first (and maybe only) game?:

BattlMon: The Guardians Of Neovia

If you like that but the region name is changed, we can just change the title around a bit.

It's good, i usually use latin words to amke up names. I think i can get an evil "team" name but i like the storyline and yes, we need to get something other than a professor.
How about Pyro Galactic for the "team" name? It pretty much means Fire Galactic and is much better than Team Pyro, what do you guys think? Too close to Team Galactic and Team Magma?
The region name is ok but i think we can work on it to find a better one, if not i like it. Guardians of Neovia though... Lets try something else

I like the "Pyro" part in Pyro Galactic. But maybe, just maybe, we can choose something other than "Galactic", because you're right, they're too similar to Team Magma and Team Galactic.

Any ideas for the game's name, then?

How bout,
BattlMon: Masters of the Battle
or
BattlMon: Battle Lords
or
BattlMon Crimson Version, BattlMon Copper Version, or BattlMon Bronze Version
I like the Bronze Version name, then if we make a sequel it could be Iron Version, then Pyrite Version. What do you think of any of these?
PErsaonally I like the last three names.

Here's the first starter test i made: http://scratch.mit.edu/projects/sparky2008123/3002795 And this one:http://scratch.mit.edu/projects/sparky2008123/3002868 has the possible starters outside of their capture devices and a possible trainer sprite

That's a good plan... 

I had this idea, why not be introduced to the legendary (if you're having legendary BattleMon), at the beginning(ish) of the game? Instead of at the end, like in Pokemon. I think it would make a nice twist!
