  • The Fairy type and the new weaknesses to the steel type from the 6th generation have been added.

  • New Pokemon : Arceus, Vulpix Alola (starter), Ninetales Alola and Sylveon.

General Jam rules: - The topic of the jam is An Unlikely Team. We need to see this interpreted in your game somehow. - The gimmick of this jam is Have a Pokémon not present in the base game take an important role. You should really try to include this in your game. - There are multiple categories your hack can receive awards for (see below). - A team of volunteers judges the hacks for each category. - Hacks must be first submitted for the jam / made for it. - There is no minimum length, but it must be playable, meaning by selecting "New Game" it starts. - The games must be in English.

Award categories: - Best Hack - Best Use of Topic - Best Use of Gimmick - Best Gameplay - Best Narrative - Best Cutscene - Best Dungeon Design - Best Custom Graphics - Most Unique / Creative

Prize: Each award is worth 30GP; "Best Hack" is worth 60GP.

commisions

  • emmuffin#2837 shared her commision sheet

While I'm here, and paid work is a serious subject, I'll also put older commition sheet :

Smalusion#3531

Extra notes: - Portraits for a Pokemon with an existing Normal portrait are $12 each. - Giving an existing Pokemon the full set of animations a normal starter has would be around $300. This includes all 22 animations, offsets, and the xml file. It's a lot of work! - Questions? Feel free to message me

DunkingDucks#9030 (aka DonkinDo)

Well, i do spriting, i'm more experienced in FE and PMD but if need something else, can help (with reduced price of course, because of the inexperience)
