This game acts as a third act in the Pokémon Colosseum/XD sub-series of games. This project idea is a complete reimagining of an old project of mine that kinda died a little while back using RPG Maker VX Ace. I've now decided I want to bring it back using Pokémon Essentials 16 using Luka's Elite Battle. Credit for the idea goes to PhantomBima.
A stranger plot is afoot in the Fodna Region. The criminal syndicate Cipher has re-emerged after 9 years of inactivity. This time, they've got a new trick up their sleeve, a weaponized version of Pokérus, which transforms any infected Pokémon into Shadow Pokémon. In addition, Cipher is seeking out the mysterious Order Fragments, shards of a strange cube connected to the Pokémon Zygarde.
You're job as the player is to set out and explore the Fodna Region capturing Shadow Pokémon from Cipher members as well as helping find the 8 Order Fragments.
Protaganists:
A young man/woman from Kuipa Town in the outreaches of the Fodna Region. A shy and reserved individual he/she is initially hesitant in choosing to depart on a journey and is initially indecisive about what to do. It is not until his/her first encounter with Cipher where he/she chooses to join the Pokémon Rangers and save the Fodna Region from the threat of Cipher. He/she always seems to be holding something inside, refusing to reveal it to anybody.
The childhood friend of the protaganist, Julia/Caesar is everything the hero is not. A confident and decisive person who already has her/his goals set out. While the player is busy saving the Fodna Region,
she/he is busy training in attempts to become the strongest trainer in Fodna. As a result she/he will constantly challenge the player thoughout his/her journey to track her/his progress.
An aspiring Pokémon Ranger, Blake is a kind and tenderhearted boy with a lot of energy and passion for nature and for what's right and good. He is always looking out for his friends and won't hesitate to charge into battle to do the right thing, even if it gets him into trouble. Sometimes however, that recklessness can get others into trouble as well.
A young upper-class woman who is has grown tired of living the life of the social elite and seeks more adventure in life. Her desire is to explore the Fodna Region to learn as much as she can about the world and the people who inhabit it.
A professor of Pokémon distribution and biology, Juniper is the Uncle of the protagonist and the brother of the player's late father. He has spent the last couple years going back and forth between Fodna and Unova in order to keep and watchful eye on the player. He is always there to tell the player about his/her current location when called.
The world famous Professor Oak from Kanto is visiting the Fodna Region to collaborate on some research with Professor Juniper. Upon arrival, he thanks the player by giving him/her a Pokédex for his/her journey. Throughout the journey will, offer special rewards to the player for catching Pokémona and filling the pages of the Pokédex.
A regional leader for the Pokémon Rangers, Eldes seeks to make the world a better place, as a means to atone for a prior crime, or so he says. He plays a major role in assisting the player defeat Cipher for reasons that he refuses to share.
Once the King of Team Plasma, N has now since left the organization following the revelation of it's corruptions and a newfound awareness to the bond between people and Pokémon. His mission statement is to find and rescue Pokémon who are being abused by their trainers. In addition, he encourages the player to catch and purify every single Shadow Pokémon to ease their suffering.
A scientist studying the potential of Pokémon, Colress seeks to discover the nature of Shadow Pokémon as well as the power of Z-Move and Mega Evolution. He will assist the player when necessary and will occasionally employ his/her help to further his/her research.
An aviator and mechanic, Cid is the proud owner of an airship that can fly at incredible speeds.
He, however, does not lend his services for domestic flights, he only provides his services for long voyages to and from other regions, such as the mostly uninhabited Frontier Isles.
One of the original four Cipher Admins, Miror B. is back and groovier than ever. This flamboyant dancing king will stop and nothing to achieve Cipher's goals and look fly doing it.
Despite her tender and motherly appearance, Aelia is a rutheless agent of evil and has few qualms about doing harm to people and Pokémon who get in her way.
A former member of Team Rocket, Edea is working on excavating the ominously named Ruins of Death. She however, has no regard for preserving the history of the ruins or for the health and well-being of the inhabitants of Scorpious Town.
A seeker of Powerful Pokémon, Jack has goals to awaken the many Legendary and Mythical Pokémon in the Fodna Region in order to capture them and turn them into unstoppable Shadow Pokémon.
Another one of the original four admins, Ein has continued his Reseach and Development of the Shadow Pokémon creation process to where it can be spread from Pokémon to Pokémon like a virus.
He, in addition, has begun work on continuing Lovrina's XD-Line of Shadow Pokémon who are impervious to purification, even to the way that XD001 was purified.
Shadow Pokémon: Shadow Pokémon are Pokémon that have had the door to their hearts closed by artificial means. This once used to be only possible in Cipher's sinister labs, but now can happen anywhere due to Cipher's new little virus. To purify a Shadow Pokémon, the player must battle with and carry a Pokémon on hand intil it is ready to purified. Once that point is ready, a Shadow Pokémon can either be purified via the Purify Chamber or at the Lake of Purity.
Poké Pager: The Poké Pager acts as the replacement for HMs in the Fodna Region. It allows the player to page Special Help Pokémon to help clear obtacles in his/her way.
Birthsigns: Pokémon now have special Birthsigned based on which month is was born in. Each birthsign grants special benefits to the Pokémon.
Pokémon Following: Pokémon can now follow the player around like they did in Heart Gold and Soul Silver. The following Pokémon can find items for the player as they travel around the Fodna Region.

Known Bugs:
Known Bugs:
- There is a slight graphical hicup when the player player crosses a map boundry with a following Pokémon
- Generation 7 and Alolan forms do not have sprites and will not display correctly as followers, this is due to not having sprites for them yet.
- When
crossing a bridge ortraversing up and down stairs there is some issue with the following Pokémon following behind the player. The game may occassionally crash upon start-up citing an error in the script "Resource_SmartDownload." Ignore this, it occurs randomly and can't be traced easily.(I think this is fixed, but I'm not 100% sure)
