Released Pokemon Nova

Introduction:
Pokemon Nova is a fan game created by myself using Pokemon Essentials & RPG Maker XP.
I wanted to create a game which reminded me the original RBY games but with updated graphics, mechanics and my very own Fakemon.

Plot:
The player moves to a new region known as the Mahalo Region. Upon arival the player meets of the lab assistants who invites you to the lab. As from there on out the game starts up and the player must travel across the region, catching and training Pokemon. Testing their battling skills against the 8 Gym Leaders of the region to one day challenge the Mahalo Elite 4.

Along the way you will meet various characters, both friends or foes. And in true Pokemon fashion, be the kid who may have to save the world from an evil team!

Features:
- Over 200 Fakemon
- Mega Evolution
- Edited 3rd Generation graphics
- New Moves and also moves that have featured from later generations i.e Leafage.
- No HMs
- 2 Rivals
- 8 Gym Leaders and Elite 4
- "Evil" Team
- Choice in the story which can lead the player down two routes

Progress:
The original version has all 8 Gyms, and Elite 4 but is missing the story due to me wanting to revamp the region. However because of this I have a clear plan of how the game will go and so I can quickly progress with updates and such.
So far I have re mapped the region and there is now:
- 7 Towns
- 3 Gyms
- 8 Routes
+ a few extra like caves, forests, etc...
The Demo stops just after route 8 but I am working on getting to a few new gyms for the next update.

I tend to update with screenshots/Images/Maps on my twitter page:

Please note that this is a very early version of the project and things are set to change.

Screenshots:
The starters are slightly different now and I will get a new screenshot of the three of them very soon.

Playthrough:
Here is a previous version of the game, some maps have now been edited to look better.

Just because people are commenting about it I feel I should make a post to say that the starters have been changed up slightly, the grass starter no loner has the black as the outline colour. I'll update the original post as well so people know.

------------------------

I'm going to take that you don't like the designs? How do you think I could make them better or do you just think I need to scrap them and make new ones?
As for the consistency in the sprites, I am working on getting them to all look decent. In the final or even the later releases I'll work on refining them all to the same style.

I actually like the designs tbh, the grass starter looks better now without the black outline but one thing that still bothers me is the bird starter looks like it should be a second stage evolution. The other two look like true 1st stage pokemon, maybe it was that that bothered me about them.

Hey, loving the game so far. But the fisherman that gives you the old rod doesn't actually give it to you. You get an error and the game quits. Might want to fix that.

Yeah, i've fixed it now, should be ready for the fixed update
