Hi guys, people, human beings, etc.
Currently, i'm learning how to hack old pokemon games, like Pokemon FireRed and LeafGreen, to make my own pokemon games, that anyone can play as a Game ROM.
If you've lost me already, and you want to find out why i want artists already, carry on reading, because this is why i want artists, i'm explaining myself slowly.
hang on.

I had this cool idea to make a pokemon game where you run around like usual, just instead of catching pokemon, you catch characters from the much-loved Warrior Cats series.
basically, you play a warrior cats computer game.
If you're wondering ‘What on earth?’, It has been done before with My little Pony Friendship is magic- Here.

Ponymon is the best game ever.

Okay, anyway, i'm getting on fastish with the text, the maps, and quickly learning how to do all the rest, but i am short of artwork.
I took the book Forest of secrets and basically took all the names from it and used them as characters-
so every cat (let's take for example Yellowfang), has 3 evolutionary levels, kit, apprentice, warrior.
I am yet to work out how to deal with characters that go beyond a warrior (for example bluestar).
I need every character anyone can find over the first 6 books as a kit, apprentice and warrior, and for each one of those, i need a view from the front, behind and as a tiny little 8 pixel by 8 pixel tile.

If anyone can help with this, i'd be very very grateful.
Also, if anyone considerably more experienced at ROMhacking than i am (more experienced than about a month), i'd love your help too, as i'm not sure how to do a lot of this. A lot of this i haven't even planned though (like what to call it, what are the starter cats, Who to have as legendaries, gyms, types, etc) so if you can't do anything else, but you're willing to help plan, because you know the pokemon games very well and you know the first 6 books very well too, then i'd love your help as well.

If i get more than 2 more experienced ROM hackers, we might consider helping other people learn, and if this just ends up as trash at the bottom of the making and creating forum, well, at least i tried

Also, if this becomes a sort of collab, then that's fine too.


PS, i'm working off of FireRed

Update:
I'm working off of emerald, and i have the final 150 cats decided.
The starters are Leopardkit, Bluekit and Nightkit.
The Groundon/kyogre replacements are Tigerstar and Firestar.
The Regis are Tallstar, Brokenstar and Crookedstar.

So do I draw them with computer graphics or by hand? I can draw cats pretty well, but I don't do manga.

BTW can I get the full list? How do I send it?

This is too advanced,people only usually make pokemon rom-hacks with other Nintendo characters.

You will be able to use a Pokeball on cats?
And cats will have Trainer Cards?
And bags?!?!?
And random moves like Flamethrower, Vine Whip, Earthquake, Water Gun,and others?

Really doesn't matter, but i'd recommend a computer- all images can only use 16 colours and must be 64 by 64 pixels.
Put them in a scratch project and put a link to the scratch project in this topic. Then i can download the images off of the project.
I don't mind if it isn't manga.
To start with, Nightstar, Leopardfur and Bluestar as a kit, apprentice, warrior and leader.

Google Ponymon.
Download Ponymon.
Play Ponymon (Trust me it's addictive, it's also a real downer when it ends)
Then tell me if it's too complicated.

No, a normal person is walking around, catching all the different cats, and a cat using flamethrower isn't stupid, it's not only random, it's funny!
But i'll change the names of the attacks, so it sort of makes more sense.

Guys, this topic is over 2 years old and I reckon that the OP has lost interest and moved away from this production. Please read the post date and check for reverence before posting.
