Summary:
According to ancient Forsian legend, 3,000 years ago the region was ruled by 2 tribes: Luna and Spirit. They would constantly war with each other, in constant disagreement on whether the people of Forsia should seek new technologies and power or stick to what they knew and honor their pasts. Wanting to finally put an end to it and win the war, both tribes sought immense power from the Pokémon of the region. However, in the end, the two both achieved their power, awakening the forger of paths and innovations Modinidae and the keep of sacred traditions Runian. Neither side won and a great cataclysm occurred that day.

Enter: You. You have just moved into Trajarn Town as your new neighbor Lydia comes to introduce herself. She insists you meet the other kid in town, Oliver, coincidentally right before he embarks on his first fieldwork mission. One thing leads to another and you are on a new adventure with new friends, foes, and places with a new Pokémon pal! However, a conflict will soon be brewing in Forsia as the megatech Moon Corporation and tradition-honoring Team Soul start to hatch plans eerily similar to what happened 3,000 years ago... Maybe you can be the one to stop it?

Pokémon Variance will be a fangame that honors the traditions of main-series Pokémon games, pulling from its friendly atmosphere and simple-on-the-surface attitude, but will also change when it makes sense. It will include a storyline with a cast of mostly new faces, as well as a few returning characters from main-series games, and feature EBDX(with animated sprites), a large Pokédex of brand-new Fakémon, and entirely original assets, including overworld tilesets and sprites and a full soundtrack.


Progress

Update/Bump: Animation of battle sprites is in full swing, animators are also wanted now!
 
Hello! I am Spectrillium. A video game composer looking for projects to hop onto! I do have the generation 4 and 5 sound fonts and I'm interested in this project. You can contact me through my Discord: Spectrillium#9000, or my Twitter: @Spectrillium.

Thanks!
 
Hey, I’m Revose! I’m also a composer and I’ve in fact been working on my own FakeMon soundtrack just as a hobby. While I don’t have the generation 5 soundfont, I am more than willing to learn how to use it. I’d love to work on this project, as writing is a deep passion that I have, and I look forward to working with Spectrillium and other potential composers! My Discord is Revose#5830

Thank you!

Coolio, I sent you a friend request on Discord and would love to hear anything you've done so far as an example of what you're capable of! I do have to head off for work in a short bit, but if you can't get back to me in the next 20 min or so don't worry about it, I'll get to you as soon as I can!
 
Update: The bottleneck in our team is now writing. If you are even slightly confident in your writing abilities, please apply. The worst-case scenario is you just aren't accepted on the spot. If you want to try to see if you're a good fit for the team, please DM me @Ekulchu#4227 on Discord or respond with a way to contact you and we'll get in touch ASAP!
