I have posted this on the recent Site News but it's certainly worth an announcement. We are now affiliated with
Pokémon Topaz as can be seen on our
main page. This is a good, solid community with some excellent people and a very promising project in development to which I have personally pledged support and services.
I'm hoping this affiliation will be mutually beneficial to each party, and I hope some members here who have never seen the Topaz project will be willing to show it the same kind of support that we get at Acanthite.
EDIT: This is not a thread to ask if you may affiliate your site with Acanthite, Topaz&Acanthite discussion only.
Cheers,
Charlie
:o It's amazing. I don't like the skeleton Pokemon, but the rest are awesome. You're a programmer there, Fang? :P
That is quite a collection of Pokemon, but although I personally favor Acanthite, I can see an equal amount of effort goes into Topaz.
If it weren't for this affiliation, I don't think I would have ever checked Topaz out.
I remember coming across their site quite a few times, but I lost the site and had a hard time finding it again.
All their Pokemon ideas are pretty cool, but Acanthite is #1 on my list. :D
It's true that Acanthite has some awesome pokemon, but we try our best at Topaz too.
Thanks for the praise, and we hope that this affiliation will be good for both projects!
Meh. I like their Pokemon... at lest 3/4 of them. I think 3/4 of their sprites need to be redone. It's nothing like Acanthite. Yet. It looks like it will be perfected if the owners are willing, which I'm sure they are. I don't think I really want to join the community yet. But being affiliated with Acanthite will surely get Topaz and Acanthite more views, which leads to a bigger community, which leads to better games. It shows promise to be a rival of Acanthite ;).
I think with each new sprite produced, Topaz's quality is rising - the recent stuff is very impressive. The steps forward have been really excellent and IMO it's always had great potential.
I agree. They are looking better!
Some of your Pokemon do need work, but I'm sure that they will be improved. The Skeleton Pokemon I think needs a bit of work, in my opnion.
Mostly because the community of PokeRealm has died off and all that's left is the project and the people who want to work on it, so there're less distractions and more progress. It's a good thing, because I really hated how the community was, and now it's made more progress in a couple months than it had in an entire year previously....

EDIT: I guess the Atlaxa line could use a bit of work, but personally I like the concept a lot....
This is really awesome news, as Pokémon Topaz was the only real rival of Acanthite due to its quality and presentation. Welcome to the group.
The Topaz Group seem to have worked hard on the project, yet there is no Sinnoh Pokemon at all in the game, and that's a real shame tbh. Some of the sprites again need re-doing but that will come with time with the more support they recieve. Not every game starts off fantastic straight away, yet I can see the potential in this project.
