Elagune's Art V2

First off: I love the art. It's amazing.

About Lumiere, I think you made her back story I bit too dark. Pokemon is generally a very innocent game (sometimes overly so); importantly, no human being is killed or even mentioned as being killed throughout the gameplay itself.

Furthermore, if you look at all the bosses and criminal organisations from existing games, they are mostly portrayed as good people led astray by a clearly insane objective that the player should not be able to accept. In this case, the search for a Life-Giving Pokemon (so she can return to living a normal life with a normal family) just seems like too noble a cause for an overall evildoer. But I love how you are trying to make the players pity her plight. It would be great if that could be explored that from a different, more lighthearted direction.

Final note: couldja make the eyes sleeker and give her a harder expression? She'll look more experienced and mature that way.
 
Lumiere is really cool. Anyway, this is a fan project, meaning the backstory can be as dark as it wants. How is she supposed to use pathox without a sad tale like that?

Anyway, the CAP Version forum is here. Look out though, some of the mods there are a bit...

Team Lux and Lumiere look great.
 
whoah..I love Lumiere...She looks like she has too much problems in life..I wonder what she looks like if she's not sad..and what her pokemon's are..
 
Haha, looks like Lumiere's getting some positive responses.

Anyway, Team Lux is a team filled with two kinds of people, people who are in it because they believe in Lumiere's ideals of creating a world without death (these guys are the ones with lost loved ones, who want to bring them back), and the other type are the ones that are in it for the crimes. Lumiere's backstory is pretty dark, but it's not like the subject of death hasn't been touched upon in other games. The Lavender Tower's a pretty good example.

Anyway, chom, you're quite right about the whole goal thing. I'm thinking there should be a drawback to that; something that has to be given up in exchange for life, or maybe it's just a myth, and the Life Pokemon's abilities have been greatly exaggerated.

More Lumiere backstory:

lumiere3.png


Seven years ago, she was immigrating from Sinnoh to the continent on which this game is placed. During the journey, the ship they were on was sunk due to a tidal wave caused by the legendary Memory Pokemon. Lumiere washed up on shore, her hair turning white as a result of the shock, going through an amnesiac period before regaining her memories after coming across an Eevee (the family's favourite Pokemon were Eevee. She owns an Espeon and her husband owns an Umbreon. Her son owned a Shinx and an Eevee egg). Afterwards she learned of the Life Pokemon's myth, and gathered up a group of like-minded individuals who want to bring their own loved ones back from the dead. This becomes Team Lux.
 
oo i like this! i definitely could see some sort of combination of ghost and electric pokemon for team lux. does she lose her husband as well?
 
Wow....I cant wait to see the E4, we still need other 4 pokes (3 once we are done with the CAP9) but God, this guy is awesome, I cant beleive this is the first time I´ve heard about you(then again, Im really new in the forums)
 
I really think that Lumiere should figure out that what she is doing is wrong and join the side of good while Team Lux is taken over by someone else, one of the evil peoples that she thought was on her side. Go cliches!

Yeah.....I mean, she is not necessarily evil, she just wants her family back....just please, please, dont make her be the rival´s mother, that would be really stupid.
 
I really want to play this game now. O_O Gogo, Elagune.

I like Teal's fez. X3 Lumiere looks good, but I want to see what Pokemon she'd have! The gym leaders are great, too.
 
Is there only going to be one major legendary for this game? (I.e. the 'Pokemon of Life')

I think there should be a counterpart to it somewhere; A Pokemon of Death would be nice, if we're going by the Nintendo standard of 'let's make every next generation's legendaries even more powerful than the last'.
 
it could be like a mono type ghost legendary that watches over the dead pokemon spirits! this thread is exciting haha

Agree....althought that would probably mean the last generation of pokemon, I mean, what would come up next? The cyber-space Legendaries? nintendo is obviously running out of ideas

That wouldnt make sense....I mean, a trainer who has defeated criminal organizations, captured a lava pokemon, meet the beings that control the very time and space and saw a GOD with his own eyes drowning? (then again, logic in pokemon?)

it was diamond. dialga sank. and died.
 
How about rather than him drowning in a Tidal Wave a pokemon attacks or something and he dies protecting her, but she falls off into the ocean etc. etc.

And, really cool drawings! But the name Team Lux doesn't really fit, as Lux isn't a real word.

Rocket
Aqua
Magma
Galactic
Lux?

And they have always (with the exception of Rocket) had to do with what legendary they were hunting. For this reason, Lux should have to do with Life of some sort. Team Light would even work.
 
:( I don't want her to hate the Pokemon, nya~ It would be thrilling to see that she's the sole reason why her family got....well, don't look at me! Hating herself, she will do anything to bring her family back to life...then 3 persons came to her and proposed to her to be their leader. 1 leader and 3 members, they formed Team Lumine. Nya-daa~ Nya-daa~...
 
Haha. Lux is a great name that is very relevant to both the team and the legendary pokemon they seek.

I personally love the more dynamic "evil team" you have created. I also enjoyed your gym leader art. I've spent a lot of time thinking about how I would make a pokemon game and I think you are doing very well so far.
