Description
Update III: I've completed the PokΓ©dex info and party info screens, which took quite a long time to do considering they were originally designed for a much taller screen. The rest of the menu has also had some minor changes made to it which make it even better than before.All of this took a lot longer than it should have. Since I had to switch the version of essentials I was using, I needed to redo all of the scripts as the old ones weren't compatible. It took ages, to say the least.
What do you think of the new parts?
Update II: Added the final part of the menu, the party screen. So it turns out I didn't actually need any help in making the menu, despite the fact I left it for eight months waiting for a scripter...
Update: Added the bag part of the menu, which was surprisingly easy to script.
An update to XENOTIME's existing menu system, which you can find here: [link]
I'm really happy with how this turned out, it looks far better than the old one in my opinion.

2 years have passed, what happened with Xenotime?

Hey man, not too much honestly. I kind of lost most of my motivation to actually complete the game a couple of years ago, and any progress since then has just been minor changes to the maps as that's what I've always enjoyed doing the most.Β
I do still plan on using the assets from XENOTIME, such as the maps and the menu system on a couple of other much smaller projects, but I'm afraid to say there's almost no chance of XENOTIME itself ever being released anymore

Looks great, but I still think you need to move the pokemon icon's across slightly - especially the one's on the left, as they overlap the purple bit.

Thanks! That was mentioned before, and I did fix it, but since I've redone the menu system again the error has returned. I'll have to fix it again.

No problem, it was me who mentioned it before too :L

Looks nice, more traditional and detailed than my menus but that's okay since I'm not good at building menus. So great job.

My only issue is the party script where the writing blends into the background too much, i'd make the shadows darker and possibly outline the pokemon in white? I don't know what to suggest but rattata is also fading into the background in his tail. :3

I actually still need to change that to be the same gray colour as the rest. And for the Ratatta, in-game they're all hopping so won't fade.

If I am a scripter so now I could make a cool bag system.

loving the white space. easier on the eyes than those scanlines. dont get me wrong the scanlines were nice but these are..neater.

Yeah, they weren't that nice honestly.

The completed menu looks beautiful
I like the choice of purple you've used
If I was you I'd change the Icon's :/
So the Pokeball matches pokemon B/W and the Pokemon animations (Cyndaquil etc)
Could be the Pokemon Mystery Dungeon one's?

Thank you!
Yep, that's my personal favourite colour.
I haven't seen what they look like in B/W, mind linking me? xD
And sadly I don't actually have enough time to change every one of the icons

There's the sheet with the Pokeballs on them
Also Cyndaquil's nose hangs over the box
Good Work though

Thanks I'll consider using them.
Oh I didn't notice that, I'll try and fix it now xD
Thanks again!

They background of the items (like where the words are) is very plain and boring. do like you did on the trainer card maybe?
and i think you should move the item image down to where it is originally, where the X is now. That would make the most sense.
Just my opinion thought! It all looks great!

To have the same border on the menu as on the trainer card I'd need to make the names of the items closer together. But I don't know how to...
And thanks for the suggestion, it does make more sense!
No problem at all, I love constructive criticism xD

what? no i mean the background. like how there's grey behind the words! i think it would look nice if you did like, bars for each row or words... if that makes sense.... on the items... idk haha

Simple, but effective
You see all these fangames, with flashy screen's and whatnot :/
But this truly shows, how simple a Pokemon Game can be , but be attractive, and draw in the audience
The colour's are nice, reminds me of R/S/E .. Also it doesn't look photoshopped, which is a good thing 
Good work

Yeah, when making the menu system I was trying to go minimalist, but also show some nice colours. The whole game is actually very inspired by R/S/E, my favourite PokΓ©mon generation.
Well, it is a PokΓ©mon game, so has to be pixel art in my opinion xD
Thanks!

No problem
I just like to see original concepts
And me too
Good luck with Xenotime
