Loving facial markings!

Nightmares that are dreams to him.

Same.

I would say he has more info about this character, but like I said, he's inactive. And most of his comments regarding the character are deleted. All I know is that he was originally a Pokémon Mystery Dungeon fan character.

Ixora and Tsubaki, the Roserades. These characters were actually created by another person who goes by FoxGalah (or @foxgalah.bsky.social ). She also created another character, Hyacinth, the Meowscarada. She has more information about them.

Seth, the Lucario. He is sort of an important character to the story, and has his own arc. This character was actually created by another person who goes by FishronCatSalty (or @FishronCatFurryBoi) on Youtube, who seems to be inactive now, so I'm not sure if he still wants him in the game or not.

Ren, a Nincada. He is the one who warns the player of the main conflict, similar to Buzz Buzz in EarthBound. Unlike Buzz Buzz, he doesn't die and remains a permanent party member.

Sushi, a Tatsugiri. She's sort of a Kumatora esc character. That's all I got for now.

This is a good moment to talk about the party members who'll join the player.

My idea now is to have Cubone as the protagonist to keep the continuing theme of thr MOTHER series's protagonists, with Cubone being sort of a Lucas expy, similar to how Ness in EarthBound is an expy for Ninten in EB Beginnings.

I did reconsider some ideas for the protagonist Pokémon. First I thought Eevee with the idea of Eevee's evolutions being similar to the 8 Melodies of EarthBound. Another idea I had for a protagonist was Toxtricity, with the player given the choice of either one. I scrapped both for a different idea.

Mega Salazzle should've be a thing in the first place.

This is really cool

Here's an even earlier version of the start location, being the player's house. I don't know why, but I used 20x20 tiles for this instead of the traditional 16x16 tiles. This was fixed in my newer tilesets.

This room is still a WIP, along with the rest of the level, but there is an earlier version of it. Originally, MOTHER:SoA was supposed to have a top down perspective similar to MOTHER 3. Though I decided to go with the cavalier perspective the previous MOTHER games had because I liked those better.

Status ailments can be inflicted on your character, which are taken from both MOTHER and Pokémon. represented by these orbs with accompanying icons and colors. They were originally banners that wrap around the side of the box, but that was scrapped as they blocked off the HP/PP counters.

It should be noted that the "PSI" option is replaced with "Moves", as this fangame is a crossover between MOTHER and Pokémon, and the protagonist is a Pokémon. Though late-game enemies will be able to use PSI.

Here is what the combat system will look like.
