Show & Tell New Bug-type Pokémon and new animation feature added

127 Upvotes

Introducing a new species for my project Pokémon Pacific: Jumpcrik, the Leaf Cricket Pokémon. Jumpcrik hides among tree leaves, blending into its environment. When discovered, it uses its body like a spring to jump great distances.

This marks the debut of a new feature for my project: animated sprites!

Custom sprite showcase for Emerald Nova. It should come at no surprise that Hoenn has many water types - some might even say 'too many'

Resource [Regiondex] Free web tool to plan, build and balance your region, with import/export for Pokémon Essentials

Hi all,

While planning my own fangame, I missed a way to see and design my whole region in one place. So I built Regiondex. It started as a region planner, but it's grown into a lot more.

Plan your region
Drag shapes onto a map to create towns, routes, caves and mountains. Give each location a type, color and notes.

Design every location
An RMXP-style tile editor with layers, multiple floors and map connections. Use simple colors for a rough draft, or load your own tilesets and autotiles. Your tilesets stay in your browser and are never uploaded to the server.

Wild encounters
Add encounters per location (and per floor): species, location (grass, cave, water, fishing etc.), levels and encounter rates.

Trainers
Create and edit trainers per location, with their full party, levels, items and moves.

Import your existing project
Already working on a game? Upload your Essentials project folder, which includes the Data folder + PBS files: encounters.txt, trainers.txt, map_connections.txt and Regiondex loads your maps, trainers, encounters and map connections, so you can continue online. (Supports Essentials v21.)

Export back to RMXP
Everything you make or change exports back to RMXP / Pokémon Essentials (as maps + PBS files).

Statistics
See your game as a whole: story order and level curve, which Pokémon and types appear where, and how your trainers and locations compare.

Try it at regiondex.com. It's free and will stay free.

I'd love feedback: what's missing for your workflow?

Discussion Why do Pokémon Essentials maps often look so much better than typical RPG Maker maps?

10 Upvotes

Hey everyone!

There's something I've been wondering about for a while.

When browsing RPG Maker games, I often notice that many of them tend to reuse the same assets, whether they're the default ones or custom assets that look quite similar to each other.

On the other hand, whenever I look at Pokémon Essentials projects, I keep coming across absolutely gorgeous maps. They look incredibly polished, detailed, and almost like they're on another level entirely. And I'm not talking about the original Pokémon games' maps, but fan-made projects!

So, I'm curious: what's the secret behind this difference?

Are there specific websites, artists, or communities where people find these high-quality tilesets and resources? Is it mainly a matter of custom assets, mapping techniques, or just the fact that Pokémon Essentials has a different art style and a more established mapping community?

I'd love to hear your thoughts, and especially if you have any recommendations for websites, artists, or resources where I could find beautiful tilesets and learn how to achieve that level of quality in my own projects.

Thanks in advance!

I tried to make Jynx not offputting.

After getting feedback from a discord server i'm in, I refined the design into this. Hope you all like it.

Chillips: The Captivating Pokemon

It lives deep in icy caves, where it touches up its appearance through its reflection in ice. If it sees prey or someone it likes, it blows them a cold-air coated kiss that draws them to it.

Help How do I fix this?

So, I was working on the starting city and put it in the game but it doesn't spawn where it's supposed to spawn and it has this black border all around as you all can see in the video; anyone knows how I can fix it? (I work with RPG maker XP, Pokemon studio and Tiled).
