Ooooh, Uprising? Really? Can we use some music from that? I love its songs, srsly (that flight to the Reaper Fortress, my god).

Haha, great minds think alike, then! Those BW nurses were so convenient, I'm surprised more games don't use them. Any updates on Demo 2 yet?

Trains could be easy. Maybe. A little bit of manipulation on the SS Anne or another ship's tiles could serve as a base. As to all of the music: obviously using remixes and asking the people who made them is fairly easy, and checking copyright complaints from game companies should probably be... not difficult, if you use teh google? Either way, I'm sure certain artists would be fine with letting us use their remixes, especially if they get credited somewhere (outside of the Credits.txt file, even; if we put in the Pokegear MP3 player, it'd probably be easy to add credits there as well), since, hey, free advertisement. We just have to ask nicely, and phrase carefully.

Aww, I hope you feel better. Being sick sucks.

Just had a thought about the trains: could they be a version of the SS [whatevers] of Pokemon past? As in, the first time around, you get a room with healing and a computer, plus a corridor of willing trainers, ripe for exp. Every subsequent trip is just a speedy little graphic, but, hey, exp! (And possible showcasing of Pokemon available in the new quadrant) Or not. It doesn't really matter; I'm just tossing out ideas.

Yas~~~ I'll make her a candy-themed Magical Girl (Marzipan/Shugari?), possibly with Slurpuff/Kyubey Sylveon as an Ace, if only for the obviousness. I'll probably have her out by tomorrow, or later tonight, if I can.

Oh, I know, I was just going by textual or visual, in terms of what our director wants. Edit: I just thought those would be a neat little indicator, you know? Not necessary, but adding to the atmosphere.

I was thinking stamps on your train pass (as a Key item) or Trainer Card (which doubles as said pass), kind of like how you unlocked more Sevii islands in FRLG, mixed with the color-changing trainer cards from the main games. Still via Badges, tho.

Granted, but it's a Harry Potter style dodo (a driricawl), and it decides to poof away, leaving you alone. I wish my sisters stopped liking friggin Gossip Girl.

Ooooh, Spirit Tracks, I like it! Will there be trains to take you to the main cities of each quadrant, too (after you unlock them, obviously)? That would be very cool.

Granted, but it turns out it's way less then you were expecting. I wish my cat stopped meowing for water from the tap at all hours.

Yep, it's always good to have even a rough idea, and I do, in fact, like this order, so it's all good.

Okay, cool. When you're finished, you should probably show everyone, so they can pick out their cities/order of appearance-- well, unless you want to do that yourself. Still, showing off the basic map will probably good, if only to get suggestions. Can we possibly get a teaser of what if might look like? Will there be islands, or is it mostly a mainland? Mountains? Caves? Other geographic features? Are you going the "mainstream Pokemon game" route, and basing it off of an actual place, or making it totally from scratch? The people want to know~! Edit: Oh, didn't see that. Thanks, that's actually useful! Edit 2: Although, looking it over again, it may be a little outdated, considering new content -- like Rochelle and the Mega Stones thing. No biggie, but still, a little revision never hurt anyone.

You can also hit me up if you need characterization. I'm pretty decent at that. I'm sure you have it covered, but still, if you don't...

Nope, that was not a joke. He's actually a pretty cool guy, all said. Really funny, too. Did you know John Travolta apparently used to hide behind a door near an open window, and scream like he was falling when they were kids? Because he apparently did that. Do we have, like, an in-depth plot yet (I mean, beyond what Ultima's doing)? Or is thwarting Ultima's plans going to be the main story (rather like Reborn after the Orphanage)? What about the order of the Gyms? Or even a map of the region? I think knowing the order (and names) towns and routes, plus what they look like, would be helpful in plotting. Heck, even if we don't have the cities just yet, known roughly what the region looks like can be a huge help in figuring that out.

Have to admit, I agree a little bit with Commander-- at least in the sense that there's a lot of things left hanging. But then again, this mostly seems like a sort of planning, pre-dev sort of thread right now. Nothing's really set in stone yet, and everything's just being tossed back and forth, a bit like Pokemon Sage/CAPX. And if hundreds of random people can actually get to the point where their game has a demo, even if they don't even really have a plot finalized... well, I think we're doing okay so far. A lot of things will go smoother (probably), once we get characters in, and start to form a coherent plot. Which, in my experience in making (short) movies, can take a little bit of time. We're still in the story-boarding mode, and I think we're fine for the moment. That said, other then characters and random ideas, I'm gonna officially offer my services as a part-time writer. Never actually done this for a video game but, like I said, I have experience in the movie making biz (there's a camp in my city ever year, overseen by Joey Travolta--yes, that's John Travolta's brother, and he's an actual director), so I kind of have an idea as to how this might work. I'm probably gonna be a little bit flaky, I'll say that up front, and might procrastinate a little, but I promise I'll try my best. Just shoot me ideas, and I'll try to make them a coherent whole (that was basically my self-appointed job during camp--broke up a couple of fights that way, heh). ...I mean. If you want me to.

SO. MANY. So, so very many. But, if I had to choose, I'd say Whimsicott~! It's so fluffy! Or maybe the Eeveelutions. All of them. Oh, and Dratini! How can you not love that tiny dragon??? The Flabebe line is pretty darn adorable, as well. And Absol! And Mew! And Litwick! And Mawile, dear lord Mawile. And Meowstic. And--and-- And a goodly amount of every Pokemon ever. I <3 them all~~

Oh, wait, are we choosing names for our towns/cities? If so, are there themes (like Kanto is all colors, and Johto is plant-themed)? If not, I'd like to submit Swallowtail/Imago City as Seren's town, and Zoisite Valley as Rochelle's.

Granted, but ONLY Wasteland Post now count. I wish the new Pokemon games (gen 7?) were announced already.

It's a fake radio show about "a charming little desert community". It's also incredibly odd. And amazing. Let's just say, for Night Vale, having a seven-headed dragon run for mayor is normal, and most people may not actually be human. Would you consider listening to it? It's free~~

^Is secretly working for the NSA.

Hmmmm. Well, last I fought Julia was episode 14, so I don't know much about the changes... Lead with Toxic Spikes Trubbish if you can. Maybe catch and raise a grass type?

What is your team?

Granted, but it's actually a lethifold from Harry Potter and eats you. I wish I had ESP beyond randomly predictive dreams.
