Pokemon Land and Sea is one of the longest running Pokemon collaborations on Scratch and has a group of extremely talented people working together to create a truly unique game. Applications to join are open, so don't hesitate to sign up!

The Game
Pokemon Land and Sea is a mini Pokemon Game with four gyms, a smaller pokedex, and the elite four, taking place in a region based off africa. This won't be a full-scale game but we intend for it to be a good one! The collab is being restarted and the programming has been scrapped and will be started from scratch- as well as some sprites. The game itself has 3+ years of development but very little progress.

Members
The members of Pokemon Land and Sea are located all around the world, each with a special quality and a great skill!

Applications
Pokemon Land and Sea is a selective collab, so not all people will be able to join. Anyone can submit as many times as they want, but please understand we are trying to create a quality game! We prefer that members have 3+ months of active experience with the specific skill and supply examples to back up their application.

Application Form wrote:

Name: (NOT YOUR REAL NAME- YOUR USERNAME)
Nickname: (if applicable)
Desired job: (pick from above)
Experience with job: (1-10)
Examples:
Materials: (Do you have any materials to help you with your job? i.e. A Drawing Tablet. Not 100% necessary.
Activity: (1-10)

Please note that no plagiarism will be accepted. If you are caught stealing someone else's work, you will be immediately removed from the collaboration. No credit will be given to you, and you will not be at all credited in the final project. This is the one and only warning you will receive.

Artists must show an example of Pokemon Creation in bitmap, using no actual shapes (no circle tool or line tool)
Programmers must show an example of their skills illustrating what they are best at so they can help the most at a specific job.
Idea Makers must show a liberal amount of forum activity.
Spriters must know how to splice.
Map Makers just need to give a good, hard example!



What if I can't be active all the time?
We don't expect you to be. Most of the collaboration members are not able to fully operate during the school days. As long as you make a post once in a while (during the school year) and you are active during the summer, there will be no punishments.

How long does it take you to make sprites/maps, and what programs do you use?
Sprites and maps can take varied amounts of time depends on your skill level. Programs can vary from a simple Microsoft paint to GIMP!

Who are your leaders?
Currently the leader of the collab is -tobor-.

Does every pokemon have to be original? How about every map?
We plan to make this an original pokemon game, so yes, all of them must be original. We use a method called ‘splicing’ were we take old pokemon's parts and create new ones out of them. Every map must be original as well.

Can I use your sprites for my own game?
No. The sprites we make are meant for this collaboration only.

Why did I get denied? Why is there even selection?
We've had problems in the past with inexperienced spriters making 5-6 very badly made sprites in one day. If you get denied, you are welcome to try as many times as you want and you can join as idea maker until you get accepted.


Thanks for reading and thanks for visiting Land and Sea!

TO-DO LIST

• Mapmakers will sprite each map using turkey3's map maker, compiler, and tester.

Your stuff looks good! Keep in mind that things like rocks and NPCs will not be part of the maps but instead will be separate sprites. I think you're accepted, but I'm going to wait until the team regroups here.

I also have a separate image without rocks and npcs.

That's good! Because you are new to scratch and only have a few posts, could you show me any of your other work? It's not likely a map that big could be imported into scratch, so try to keep them small-ish.

I'll make a new map just for this occasion.
(And I'll try to keep it “small-ish”)

While your ideas are cool this isn't the type of spriting we're looking for. If you want to make Pokemon IDEAS- sign right up! But I don't think I can accept you unless you learn how to splice.

Updated post for Spectaculargames. Welcome to Pokemon Land and Sea!

Alright, does anyone have a cut and paste of the storyline? We can get it out of the way from there.

Wanna join:

Name: Adrien [Removed - don't share full names please]
Nickname: adri326 (it's written)
Desired job: programmer, more specialized in algorithm
Experience with job: 8 (why does I must complete that?)

Frequently connected in the week-end, and the wednesday.
I prefer correct buggy things, I think it's more funny to try to understand other's people errors.
I can't draw something bigger than 16x16 pixels. To this you should contact @mot123.

Hope you'll accept that.

I don't have it EXACTLY memorized, but it goes down somewhat like this:
Your father was a pokemon trainer when he was young. He loved his starter pokemon ________ more than almost anything else. One day while walking along a cliff that overlooked the sea, the Pokemon of legends known as Serpencia attacks. Serpencia resides on a ledge on the side of the cliff and is very protective of it's home. It attacked on and on until the father lost all of his pokemon. But Serpencia didn't stop attacking. Just before the attack would have hit your father, his barely conscious starter gets up slowly and takes the hit. As Serpencia draws away, your father realizes something. His beloved starter perishes from the blow, and he is devastated. For the rest of his life, he would mourn the death of that starter… until…
he forms a plan. Serpencia caused him so much pain, your father wants it to pay. Serpencia has the ability to heal any wound, and your father wishes to bring his starter back. If Serpencia (Maybe I should stop the italics XP) revives your father's starter, Serpencia will have lost most of it's power. Using the revived Pokemon's power, he will kill Serpencia and be reunited with his starter. He forms and leads a company that produces Pokeballs (this is just a detail I thought of just now ), called “Chaos Supplies ‘Where you can stop the Chaos of battles with Potions and Pokeballs!’ ”. He uses the money to hire people and they join the new Team Chaos. They work on a special Pokeball just for the preparation for the revival of the dead starter, but it is special. Your father doesn't want anything like this to ever happen again, so he creates a Pokeball known as the “Cybernetic ball”. It contains a bunch of tiny robotic chips that go into the pokemon's body when returned or captured. This causes the Pokemon to become infected with these chips, but this infection removes pain. Unfortunately, even though your father stole most of the current professor's (your mother) research on a Pokemon's energy, he didn't steal a very important paper. The part of the brain that the robot chip thingies will deactivate to remove pain also will end up turning a part of the brain off that pokemon require in order to understand language, feel emotions, and to be able to restrain their power.
A pokemon with such problems would be heartless and dangerous. And there is one more problem. The device also works on people.

Woah, pretty impressive. However, is that project originally yours?

Very impressive! I think you're accepted, but until we get to the battle mechanics there won't be a whole lot for you to do.

As for the storyline… we need to make it a little more basic
