Because this hack has been slow lately, there are some members who may or may not really want to help out. This may be my fault for not handing out requests, but some haven't logged on in some time. So for now, unless they come back, I'm the only map editor.
*SCRIPT EDITORS WANTED(pros)*
*GRAPHIC EDITORS WANTED*
So far we've got these:
PLOT
Like every other kid who turns 10, the protagonists of the Sinja region go on a quest to collect all the gym badges and become the champion. However, in the middle of their adventure, they find a gang named "Team Mercury", full of people who call themselves "the Mercurists", who plan on creating a duplicate of planet Mercury. The founder of the gang, Merchrome, is doing this because he wants revenge on Arceus, and with the help of his uncle, Samuel, it's bound to be a success...
SO, in order to end their schemes, making sure their plan is a failure, you have two people on your side, trying to put an end to Team Mercury:
Neptine:
A long-time friend of Merchrome, and has tried to convince Merchrome that what he's doing is wrong. With Merchrome refusing to listen, Neptine has no option but to thwart the plans of Team Mercury.
Samuel Jr.:
Son of Samuel, and cousin of Merchrome. Samuel Jr. is four years older than Merchrome. Samuel Jr. and Merchrome used to be best friends as well, but when Merchrome, Merchrome's mom, and Merchrome's sister went homeless, Samuel and Samuel Jr. had completely lost touch with them, until 20 years later, Samuel Jr. noticed Merchrome was broadcasting commercials saying he will help everyone change the world. It wasn't until later that Samuel Jr. found out that Merchrome was lying, and decided to help Neptine put an end to their plots. After the fifth time you meet up with Samuel Jr., he completely goes missing without saying anything.

I had a lot of ideas for this project. A lot of ideas in which I found to be very chilling. Although I for one did enjoy the majority of the ideas I'd come up with, it seems as if they will not see the light of day.
For all of you who contributed to this ROM hack, I sincerely thank you for devoting some of your time to do so. I'm angry at myself for making you do that. It's mostly my fault because I haven't thought of any ideas since November, or for that matter, I haven't even thought of this project in general.
I am canceling Pokémon Mercury Version. Mostly due to the fact that I really just do not have the time or opportunity to even open any of the tools I use to modify. Also because, again, I haven't enough contributors. I had enough for a while, but I never handed out requests to any of the said contributors, which led to a lot of them forgetting about the project. Hell, one of them just left VR completely.
I am very sorry to everyone who I made do any of this. If I could repay you for even deciding to work on this with me, I would.

By any chance were you playing a ROM of Platinum on your computer? |
Ugh, I have to quote everyone! Screw it, I'll skip that.
@Sableyed
I'm using some existing Pokémon as my own custom Pokémon and some you can make yourself. Since Gordon trains Ground type Pokémon, any Ground type is fine. You can be creative enough to make your own Pokémon, right? Gordon is aggressive, and thinks he's overcome the world because he's the weakest Gym Leader. We're not only talking spriting, we can talk personalities.
@Yoshizard
I think it looks great, and matching for a Ground person. I need to work the palette is all. Any Unlz professions?
@Sableyed again
Yes, I need Pokémon, Gym Leaders, and trainers. Can't forget the Elite Four, and most important, the champion.

Excuse me for double-posting, but I have a couple things to say.
@Yoshizard
Your sprite of Gordon is in the game! Palette is fine, now to make his personality! Thanks! Also, your name is in the credits.
@Sableyed
I don't know how people will pass the 7th Gym Leader unless they have a strong dragon themselves, but a nice challenge.
Well may I suggest some pokemon?
Starters: Fire/Psychic, Grass/Dark, Water/Fighting. The fire type is a living ball of fire. The Grass type is a plant. The water type os an amphibious fish with fighting moves.
A caterpillar type that learns explosion at level 50. Its evolution is a green moth with big eyes and a wide mouth.
A three stage Steel-Fighting pokemon who's main gimmick is having a giant sword for a hand. Human-like. Goes from small an child-like to sleek and with a lance, to bulky and with the sword half the size of his body.
An evolution to Sableye and Mawile.
A dragon evolution to Eevee.
A Girafarig evolution where the bottom head has taken over half of the body.
A Kangaskhan pre-evolution: the baby in the pouch. It can be either gender. If it is female, it is kangaskhan. If it's male, it turns into a quick fighting type kanagaroo.
Heracross and Skarmory pre evolutions.
A Spinda evolution that is a giant hulking panda.
Again, only take what you like.
Still working on pokemon, but here's my general idea of the land:
In the center is a giant volcano that works as a giant mountain. There is a forest to the east. Draglok rules on a fairly big island to the west. There is a lot of rural area where Gordon lives, and where the day care is. The Region's main attraction is it's three big cities of Knowledge, Commerce, and Entertainment. The city of knowledge has an academy where scholars meet, a rocket science laboratory, and is the home of Avery. The city of commerce has the department store and lots of tall buildings, and is the home of Richard. The city of entertainment is home to the contest hall and gambling house, and is the home of Jeremy. In the Forest, Volcano, and Sea live three spirits representing Fire, Water, and Grass. They may or may not affect the plot.
That's what I got. What do you have in mind?

I like the Grass starter. I think the last one has to be really evil.
For the Fire starter, I'm thinking a thing that evolves into a living ball of flame. In the center of it's head it has a giant diamond where it's mind is.
The Water Starter is a sort of fish that stands on two fins. It lives on the land and is trained in fighting. It is colored blue and is koi-like.
Your ideas.
Magmiby's definition:
MAGMIBY is a small fire that melts into magma. It
can be found near Valcanos and caves. Sometimes
it can be found in the shore of beaches.
It can stretch its arms and start a fire in a quick
snap!
Bubblot's definition
A tiny blue fish that can spit bubbles. The rest is
undone. I need ideas for this one.

If a "Wild Mario appeared" and the sprite looked like this, it would stand out because it is a different style.Anyway, I think players should get Eevee towards the beginning of the game to help balance out teams. Vaporeon, Jolteon, Flareon, Espeon, and Umbreon would evolve as usual. Leafeon and Glaceon would evolve by toughing stones at the academy. There should be a dragon Eevee added, but I'm not sure what to name it or how it would evolve.
