By Theorem on August the 17th, 2008 under the Ekaiyo project
Here I was playing a little bit with the GUI elements, which were drawn by bezet, using a similar style as etix's design.
In this picture you can also see some new elements, such as palms at the far end, and a couple of pokémon standing around the grass.
Btw, that's TylerOfBodom's Nidoran, over there. We're glad to have people from the community helping us, it helps speeding up the whole process.

ya'll are doing great and awesome, keep up the good work \nn/
Humain said, on August the 18th, 2008:

Mannequin said, on August the 18th, 2008:
Looks pretty cool, I'm not used to a Map on the left hand side, but I love how it's all coming along.
Also, Yay for Tylers Nidoran, hehe. I'm sure he'll be glad it was used.

Like Theo wrote, it's just a test of gui elements ( sizable boxes, transparency, etc). Nothing is final look - that's why it's called 'Preproduction' we're preparing all the elements of the engine so that we can make a game.
Ubiquinone said, on August the 18th, 2008:
It's coming along great. I love it. And the rattata.
deomew said, on August the 18th, 2008:
this is really going into the good direction ^^
the interface is really awesome
Magmar101 said, on August the 18th, 2008:
OMG i canno wait. I would play this game right now if in preproduction stage if i could
Squidlah said, on August the 18th, 2008:
I will love you forever if you make me a Zangoose.
Just add click, drag, lock and unlock to GUI, so's people can choose where to have the map etc etc.
Have been watching this project for a while now, and think you guys are doing a wonderful job!
Fedelho said, on August the 18th, 2008:
hey I wanna see my chinchou there. It's getting awesome guys, keep it up.
TylerOfBodom said, on August the 19th, 2008:
Fuck yeh! My nidoran!
Mantis you've made my day.
And this looks great (not just because my model's in it)
ManTis said, on August the 19th, 2008:
This was made by Theorem, do pay mind, willya :P
TylerOfBodom said, on August the 19th, 2008:
My bad.
Same thing, but directed at Theorem.
I guess I was too proud to pay attention XD
No. said, on August the 19th, 2008:
Make the lower level of grass a bit more detailed in future. The trees look like blobs right now, fix that. Apart from that, all looks pretty decent. Well done.
ManTis said, on August the 19th, 2008:
The trees are SUPPOSED to look like blobs. We had detailed trees and we didn't find them fit the style we aim for. Lower level of grass will be pretty much like in Oblivion (not the same style though of course, again, cartoony). We looked at Pokemon XD and we didn't like making 'realistic' pokemon world. So we're not.

Sir, yes sir! Wait, it's just you. I don't take orders from trolls.
gamefreak2kx said, on August the 19th, 2008:
This No. kid is just one of those losers who wants speed up process by saying dum thing about ekayo, it's just another incarnation of ekaiyoisdead. The kid is gonna join ekaiyo with a differnt name. He's actuall quite impressed and that's why he keeps on crawling back and it's getting pretty annoying to hear crap stuff from someone whos more of a split persoanlity. I foyu wanna come back at least have the etiquttes to apologise to ManTis and core crew >:(
@ManTis:
I think I can see some ripples in the water has ther been a change or shader implement since the last screenshot?
TylerOfBodom said, on August the 19th, 2008:
I love the trees.
Although now that I take a better look, I personally think the grass texture should look a bit different.
To me, it looks like the camera is kind of zooming along.
gamefreak2kx said, on August the 19th, 2008:
It seems like it's going to be similar to fifa 07's feature in which the closer you zoom in, the better the quality gets.
kh said, on August the 19th, 2008:
I love pokemon
Awesome job guys.
ManTis said, on August the 19th, 2008:
No, it's just all the level is currently model exported from editor just so the players don't fall through the sky. It's fairly low res and undetailed. Level editor, as you can get to know from my newest post is still underway.
Rujak said, on August the 19th, 2008:
Maybe it's just my eyes playing tricks on me, but Red's arms look like they'd go down to his ankles if he didn't have them stretched out. Coming along great, though.
Squidlah said, on August the 19th, 2008:
About the grass texture thing and the tree detail.. The grass could be little ^^^^s instead of lines, and perhaps add some dark green squiggles to the trees? I get the feeling that it wouldn't look right if it looked too detailed. I think it looks good. Consider also it's preprod, and there will probably still be many changes made anyway. I for one am convinced it'll look perfect when it's released properly!
Theorem said, on August the 19th, 2008:
Thanks a lot, TylerOfBodom.
Magmar101 said, on August the 19th, 2008:
i hate how people are complaining about this and that. I can understand the constructive critisism but it's like they aren't satisfied enough just to see this. I think it looks great, and they shouldn't over analyze the game. Games are made for entertainment, if you want to analyze something go get a group of friends and compare nintendo DS to PSP =P.
Ghirul said, on August the 19th, 2008:
U guys r better than nintendo. your making a 3d pokemon game online, and all they do is make 2d pokemon games.
pokeDEStiny said, on August the 20th, 2008:
True. but, if we haven't nintendo, we won't have now pokemon :/
Humain said, on August the 20th, 2008:
true for the rpg type games but
pokemon battle revolution is a 3d pokemon game and it can be played online.
Haze said, on August the 21st, 2008:
I just want to say that this looks awesome. I really like the direction that the developers are taking with this game. Honestly, these grapics would be just fine the way they are, especially with gyms, houses, and pokecenters/marts around. The cartoon look is just perfect and the pokemon look great too. The music I have heard so far really takes me back. And the pokemon voices are great! Thanks for the screenshots! Keep us posted and keep it real guys!
Axmand said, on August the 21st, 2008:
@Humain
True but its not a MMORPG
@Haze
The screenshot its taken from the preproduction phase.
Redblazin said, on August the 22nd, 2008:
can you grass something like this http://i210.photobucket.com/albums/bb148/kittems_photos/mabinogi_2008_01_31_001.jpg
Fayt said, on August the 24th, 2008:
It's now becoming my hobby just to read the comments to see what No will say next. XD Also I wanna see a Caterpie. Some reason I've been obessed with Caterpies lately. Anyways Nintendo didn't make Pokemon, they publised it but GameFreak is what made it...or was it the other way around? Ontopic: This is comming good. I'll expect great things.
Shydow said, on August the 24th, 2008:
@Ghirul
pokemon diamond, pearl, and platinum are 3D based except for the battling retard. go to www.serebii.net and look at the platinum screenshots. looks pretty #$!@ing 3D to me!
@Axmand
dont be so quick to judge on the mmorpg thing
@Redblazin
Get the $%@! out of here with your bull@#$! mabinogi crap
@Ekaiyo Team
good job guys, get cracking and produce the world a good game
numel said, on September the 7th, 2008:
2 problems with this....:
The guy is waaaayyyy to skinny and y r hius arms out stretched?
Reli said, on September the 9th, 2008:
This game looks awesome so far, I really can't wait. It reminds me of Pokemon Snap with the pokemon being seen in their natural habitats and it's really awesome to be reminded of such a great game for the N64! I can't wait until you guys get this going in beta and I wish you the best of luck.
diablos_blade said, on September the 11th, 2008:
@numel:
2 responses for you:
1) last i checked theres gonna be a character create... so who cares if the temporary guy theyre using is too skinny?
2) "hius" arms are out stretched because hes not animated.
Slipknot said, on January the 28th, 2009:
WHY DOES HIS ARMS STICK OUT!!??
Jen_10 said, on February the 19th, 2009:
@Slipknot
That's the default position it helps makes the game faster like that it will change later.
@Screenshot
I like how you make the pokemon roam around don't forget the trails.
Kjellke said, on March the 2nd, 2009:
Are you still working on it or has this project been shut down just like all the other Pokémon-MMORPG's? Look's really nice though :)
poke-maniac said, on March the 6th, 2009:
hey i those arms i hate them make them move like a real arm would... but anyways good work and how can you catch pokemons and have battles?
Tiger said, on March the 11th, 2009:
Kjellke, the project is still running,
I asked the same thing, because my curiousity blew, so i had to ask..
I got a clear yet understandable answer.
The game makers, as most know, are adults.. Meaning they have a life to care for too, some has school and other important things are keeping the project to run slow, but not canned.
They said that they might be able to work alot more in the summer..
Thats all i know =3 Check forums, there is a thread under general section which mentions it all.
Designer said, on April the 5th, 2009:
well i created and help on some mmorpg games before and i can say not digging the graphic, but hey its a start i can say though i dont like the 3D map it seems kinda fake. Not in a good way but for this being a project, great job and i loved that unlike other pokemon mmorpgs you guys stuck by yours. so if you ever need a map (better one) free of charge just add me on aim or xfire, both are "tri407tiny".
GREAT JOB/WORK
pie brains said, on April the 23rd, 2009:
it would be nice if you released a beta-tester area for a small comunity.
I DONT CARE IF IT IS NOT GOOD YET
I WANT BETA TESTING EVEN IF YOU CAN'T BATTLE
