FAQ - Please read

[Dex]

To those of you just joining us, please read the following before asking any questions.

General information
The region is based off of South and Central America, but not everything needs to be Latin American in nature. Yes, we are making this a game, and we're using RPG Maker to do it.

The dex posted in the threads has low quality images, check the wiki for better quality.

We are not trying to duplicate GameFreak's mistakes, if your reasoning about anything is that "GameFreak has done it and we should do it too" instead of "This is a legitimately good idea that we should incorporate", think about your idea a little harder. But this also isn't an excuse to to disregard every idea that is thrown out though. This said, we are really trying to capture the spirit of pokemon games. We want to make this a fun and enjoyable experience for any pokemon player.


I want to help!
Everything gets done here or in the threads.

Art: If you can sprite, we need spriters. If you don't like spriting, you can take a try at redesigning pokemon. If you take a look at the dex picture, you'll notice some have green arrows next to them. These are finalized, and you should concentrate on redesigning ones that do not have the green arrows. Take a look at the Surveys subforum for comments and critiques. Designs are finalized with surveys. Please note that we are no longer accepting any new pokemon designs.

Moves and Entries: If you have an enormous amount of patience, nearly all our pokemon still need TM moves and Egg moves. If you're creative, they all need dex entries too. Inquire about a pokemon's backstory/lore before making a dex entry though, some have quite a bit, some have none. Don't edit the wiki without running it by us, we tend to lose our shit when that happens.

Mapping:If you have or are willing to pirate a copy of RPGmaker, we could always use more mappers. And various other odd jobs need to get done.

Music: Make some! Check the wiki and subforums for the map of the region and make some music for the routes/locations. There have been some music already made, but it doesn't mean we can't have multiple versions and vote on what sounds better.


I still have questions
Lurk the threads and discuss shit. If you have a question, there's a good chance you can answer it by browsing the wiki. If you see something that needs doing, do it.

Remember, always do a bit of research before asking a question, and always lurk more.

RPG MAKER DOES NOT WORK ON A MAC.

You will have to get one of them fancy windows-operating tools like Wine or Bootcamp.work. But RPG maker runs on .exe and is Windows only.



When you download the file, extract it somewhere find-able, and click on the ORANGE GEAR labeled GAME.



Are we adding Fairy types?
Answer: No

What about Mega Evolutions
Answer: No

[Dex]

It's come to our attention that there's been some incorrect information spread around regarding the game.

• There has been no consensus on the villainous team yet, and there are no plans to make two teams.
• While Aztecs and Conquistadors are potentially sources of inspiration, there are no actual Aztecs or Conquistadors.
• The start of the threads began in October 2012.
• The original purpose of the threads was supposed to only create a Pokédex.
• The game has never sought outside help, not even from other boards. In fact, surveyors enacted filters to ensure participants had at least some prior knowledge of the game before voting.
• The working title was never CAPX, CAPX stands for Create A PokédeX.
• The game is not developed internally, so while 'internal disagreements' happen, confirmations of what happens in game all draw their roots to surveys and voters.
• The number of Pokémon in the demo is 32, not 10.
• The game is not set in Mexico.

Hopefully this is enough to clear up any misinformation.
