I've been working on this fakemon, Water/steel type, based on a minnow that has taken residence in a discarded can featuring a pokeball label.



Quick sketch, Not final Sprite. Is first evolution, temporary name is Aluminnow.
Base stats:
35 Hp
55 Atk
80 Def
30 Spatk
65 Spdef
30 Spd
Total: 295

Evolved form of aluminnow. Temporary name is Alumisteel. Not final sprite, will update when I finish it. Based on an Eel living in a water mine.

Base stat total:
70 HP
95 Atk
120 Def
50 SpAtk
100 Spdef
70 Spd
Total: 505

Currently, I need to finish it's moveset, Sprites (Front, Back, party, and possibly overworld) and all the other details I may be missing. Feel free to give input, And, this is not a suggested fakemon to put into the game, just something I've been working on.
EDIT: Added basic shading and changed alumisteel's shell some

I was thinking that for the minigames, you could have various minigames for each type of pokemon that used 8-bit graphics and had to use game tokens to operate, but would produce arcade points for every 100-or-so points you got, depending on the amount of points given out in games, which could change the amount of Game points required to obtain Arcade Points. If, in the game, you managed to lose all your tries, you could insert more game tokens to retry without losing your game score, but this price would double every time you lost, so someone couldn't just manage to beat the high score on a game just because they managed to obtain 5 billion game tokens. You could use arcade points to buy various furniture, items, tms, etc. as well.
 
         There could be a simple 1 color sprite with graphics similar to graphics in the NES games. A game idea for four legged pokemon like ponyta and jolteon could be a hurdle jumping game with a sprite resembling a dog like animal similar to ninetales, with only one tail, where all you did was jump over a bunch of hurdles with various frequencies, heights, and speed at which you approached it.

        Another game would be a flying game for bird pokemon, where you pressed a button to make the pokemon flap, which sent it upwards a little, in a similar game to Balloon fight. there are object the player has to avoid, and when the player gets later on in the game, the objects the player must avoid start moving. The player can change directions in flight, and if (s)he gets too low, the game will end. Pokemon in this game would be pokemon like Pidgey and skarmory, and the color of the flying sprite still would change depending on the pokemon being used.

      A game for bulky pokemon who don't seem very fast like Golem and Machoke is a Block breaker game which involves moving a panel held by the pokemon to reflect a ball to clear all the blocks. as the game goes on, the ball would start moving faster and the panel the pokemon is holding would get smaller. the Blocks would be in varying formations, each time including more blocks and eventually, the blocks would scroll side to side which would make it harder to hit.

These are all the game Ideas I could think of, But im sure the team could add to my idea, and could probably find a game suitable for fish and plants and small pokemon like magikarp, cleffa, and bellsprout.

This is where I will be posting recolors of pokemon, and maybe some other pixel work I manage to make. I make my recolors with Pixen, a pixel art program available for mac osx computers. Download link is here: http://opensword.org/Pixen/ the download is completely free, which is nice.

Here's my first recolor and the original sprite:

Yes, well, I was just thinking about this the other day while i was playing pokemon red. What is your preferred volume while playing video games?

The Game many of you remember is back! Yes, it's Corrupt a Wish! Basically, you make a wish and then someone else corrupts it.

Eg.
Person A: I wish My Cat would stop sleeping in my computer chair.
Person B: Your cat stops sleeping in your computer chair, but now I do it instead.

Ill start it off.
I wish I could fall asleep.
