Tldr: Please come work with me if you're interested in spriting fakemon (regional forms) or trainers! Our game's Eevee Expo thread can be found here and you can find a video showcasing the game here.
Description: Pokémon Hollow Woods is a fangame that I've been developing for some years. It's a labor of love to the DS-era Pokémon games and tries to capture the feel of those games while adding a fresh take on the story and lots of QOL features. The game has a playable demo with 7/8 gyms, and is getting close to complete behind-the-scenes. I have done a huge chunk of the sprites for the game, with the rest coming from public resources. However, I'm not the best spriter, and the game would be done faster and better if some spriters were interested in working together. I'd love to work with you!
This is likely a good fit if any of these apply to you:
The rest of this thread is a condensed version of the game's main thread, found here.
Summary
Welcome to Oblar, a Pokémon region split between two factions.
Your mother, the leader of the Lavender Faction, tasks you with researching Oblar's unique Pokémon species.
But you find much more: an ancient and mysterious Pokémon, an organization with questionable motives, tales from Oblar's past, and plenty of intrigue...
...all centered around Oblar's Great Forest, where a powerful force is said to lurk.

This is likely a good fit if any of these apply to you:
- You're a spriter with completed sprites for trainers or regional forms that you would like to see featured in a completed game
- You want to work with a fun team to create completely new ideas and sprites that fit into existing lore
- You see the sprites in the current version of the game and feel compelled to fix the errors (I'm sorry!)
- You want to work on a game from scratch - while I'd love to get someone with creative ideas to improve the game, the story and the gameplay are mostly finalized
- You want to sprite entirely new fakemon - this game just has regional forms and custom mega evolutions
- You don't make sprites

Features
- A carefully curated regional Pokédex, featuring Pokémon and moves from the first 8 generations.
- A balanced experience crafted by a team of competitive Pokémon players. Though this is by no means a "kaizo" game, it should be difficult enough to provide some challenge to even experienced players.
- 65 regional forms of existing Pokémon and custom megas currently obtainable, with more planned for future releases.
- 57 formal side quests, plus a variety of smaller content unlockable through player interaction.
- "Secret Spots" - areas accessible with a special item that contain rare Pokémon and/or items.
- "Super trainers" - extra-challenging trainers that will challenge you only if you battle every other trainer on a route.
- A variety of new game options, including Nuzlocke mode and level caps for those that want a difficult experience, as well as infinite rare candies and autoheal for those that want a more casual playthrough.
- A custom soundtrack featuring remixed versions of existing Pokémon tracks, with more to come in future updates!
- Exp. Share options - experience sharing can be disabled entirely, enabled from the Bag to give Exp. to all Pokémon, or given to one specific Pokémon to share Exp. with just that Pokémon.
- In-game time cycles with no relation to real time, enabling the player to find different Pokémon available only at certain times of day.
- Some of your favorite characters from canon Pokémon games have cameo appearances.
- A special Battle Tower-like challenge pushes the limits of your Pokémon team!
