"Interesting" is certainly a word. But not the first one I'd use to describe this puzzle. Six thorough searches of the Dream World artwork haven't turned up the answer. Edit: After a seventh search, I am forced to conclude there is no solution, because nothing that even remotely matches the...

Ack. I only just saw this puzzle 'cause I don't keep track of the main thread. >_< Gonna get my answers in for 86 and 87 ASAP.

You say that, but I've gone through the set of artwork twice now and not found it... =/ Edit: Found it on the fourth time looking through them all. That took far too long for me to figure out.

Instead of asking what everyone else wants from your game, I think you need to ask yourself what kind of story and setting you want to show us. From there you can decide what elements you want to include to progress both the story and the gameplay.

Transparent in this context means there is literally nothing there, not even white. Paint can't do that for you - it fills in empty spaces with white automatically - so you need Photoshop or GIMP as SpartaLazor suggested. (GIMP is free.)

After reading some posts in this thread, I think we need to expand on the original topic a bit more: I think we need to help fangame makers avoid the points that folks are posting here. 'Cause right now, I'm mostly seeing a list of problems people have with very few ways to help resolve them. To...

I think it depends entirely on how strong you want your players to be in the early game. How powerful do you want the player to be when they meet their first major challenge, such as a Gym? The main series games usually use the first few routes to give the player an idea of what kind of Pok?mon...

Personally, I'm less interested when the designer-developer/creator aims to include more than one region, and/or every Pokémon in the National Dex. Thoughts on Regions: Quite apart from being a lot of work, I believe using multiple regions adds needless complexity to the game, especially if...

I don't think you should change any types unless you can give a solid reason for doing so. As Worldslayer said, types and abilities are some of the core components that define a 'mon. Why change that which doesn't need to be changed? I'm also going to go one step further and say that I don't...

If you want the game to recognise the event as a person who will challenge the player if s/he moves into their line of sight, the event has to be named Trainer(X). You can give the Trainer themselves a proper name when you set them up in trainers.txt. Again, refer to the wiki.

I use the FR/LG graphics, partly in thanks to FL's Extended Tilesets. Mostly because I find them super easy to edit and rearrange as needed, but also because it'd be so much more work to source everything for a project that looks a bit newer. I like what I use, and I think I make it work with my...

Magnifying the image, as per the challenge requirements, obscures it a little as part of the process. I believe the sample image is still accurate when scaled down to its normal size.

I'd prefer to learn more about the Alola region and the new Pokémon that can be found there before jumping on the 'hype train'. Gen 6 only added 71 new species - that's a small number when compared to the other generations. That being said, I like the little I've seen so far.

You're going to get a lot of different responses with a vague, open question like that. I think you need to refine the question, impose restrictions in the same style as the main series: • First in a three-stage evolutionary line • Can reach its third form without the need for items or trading •...

There should be a Notepad file in your project folder, named extendtext.txt, that explains what extendtext.exe does and how to use it.
