Pokemon Underground: Roaring Flame, Howling Thunder, and Rumbling Ice

Well, going off of the Poll above, first I'd like to post the Three Legendaries to choose from that will go into this Hack.

The first choice is Leoblaze, the Roaring Flame:

The second choice is Mingark, the Howling Thunder:

And the thrid choice is Arctilla, the Rumbling Ice:


As some of you may know, I started this project some time ago, on the original LV site, but as that one had issues we had to move. For a time I've been busy with other things, and haven't had time to re-post this here. I've added a few ideas here and there, but it's still the same project. I am looking for a willing tea who would like to take part in this project of mine, as I'm hoping some of my team will return to help out this go around.

As you can see here, I have a draft made up of what the mpa/region will most likely look like...but like I said, it is just a draft made in MS Paint, and needs tweeking. I'm hoping that someone can take this idea and recreate it into an actual Pokémon Map.


This region is different from other regions for a few reasons.

1. Instead of an ocean of water it is magma, due to this region being located deep underground.

2. instead of towns there are villages, because this region lacks technology. This region is in a war, by it's Prince wanting to conquer, so instead of gyms and leaders you have Outposts and Generals, as well as the Pokémon League being substitued by taking on the Empire's Elite Guard, and then the Prince himself.

3. Pokeballs are still somewhat available, but are substitued by a different form, as crystal orbs that don't open, but instead transform them into the energy and suck them through the crystalized stone, which is tinted dark, and then becomes a tinted color that represents the type of the pokemoin that rests inside. In the game itself the pokeballs will just look like round crystal orbs, the action that occurs with catching a Pokémon doesn't have to change.

HMs:

1. Rock Smash (Would be useful alot during the journey; unlocked after beating General 1)
2. Cut (Used somewhat, but not really required much after getting past 4; unlocked after beating General 2)
3. Strength (Would be used quite often, and is required to get through; after beating General 3)
4. Dig (Not required to get through, but help when trying to enter deep cave tunnels) & 5. Shadow Crawl (Required to sneak past guards and through tough areas) (Both unlocked after beating General 4)
6. Fly (Useful, but not necessary. Won't acquire this HM until aftr beating General 6; unlocked after beating General 5)
7. Surf & 8. Lava Flow (Will acquire these HMs right after beating General 5, but cannot be used until after beating General 6)
9. Dive (Required to reach Outpost 8, and can be used to reach certain areas within the Empire Castle; unlocked after beating General 7)
10. Rock Climb (Require to get through the Empire Castle; unlocked after beating General 8)

Now, I know some may complain about the HM system, but seeing as this is a new hack, and my first go at trying to make one, it's best to leave the system how it has been for now. If we can change things around a bit later on then we will do so, but until then this is how the HM set will stay.

I also have sets of pseudo-legendaries. One is the Draconian Trio:

Hawdrex the Draconian Bird


Gladigantrus the Draconian Gladiator


Pydravorm the Draconian Worm


And the other is the Mystic Triangle:

Monsooki the Forest Trickster


Anubitsune the Spirit Walker


Kapawatiki the Swamp Child


There is another Legendary thta isn't one available for catching, and in some cases isn't considered a Pokémon at all.
Volnecross

True Form


For anyone wishing to join this priject feel free to apply, any and all are welcome, even if you only plan to be a game tester or a spectator. My main concern is that I need a programmer/hacker to deal with the coding, if anyone who views this is or knows a game hacker, please let me know. Thank you and enjoy.

 

More to the project, those of you who are not familiar with our DeviantArt Group profile I would like to give you the chance to check out the works we have there: http://pokemon-underground.deviantart.com/

This is all I have so far, and I don't have names for the villages/towns, the Generals (gym leaders), or the seals(badges) that you receive from them. I also don't know what themes I'm going to use for each Outpost (Gym). If anyone has any suggestions I'd like to hear them.

 

There isn't one, it's still in progress. We don't even have any programmers for it yet.
