Project Description:

These games are, simply put, my love letter to one of my favorite game franchises ever. They are relatively basic in their structure, with 8 Gyms, and a League Tournament and Elite Four at the end. This game attempts to capture everything that made the DS and prior eras of Pokémon so great, while adding in extra content and quality of life improvements seen in modern Pokémon titles. As a spiritual sequel to Pokémon Sun and Moon, it will feature many challenging Totem Pokémon Boss Battles to really put players' game knowledge to the test! This game in general will be quite a bit more difficult than most mainline Pokémon games, without being overly punishing or unfair. I wanted the difficulty to be a breath of fresh air for veterans of the series.
Made with Pokémon Essentials v21.1

This demo will feature the first gym, the first Totem boss, along with a handful of the 120+ Fakemon I created for the full game! I updated the demo to v21.1 for compatibility with plugins that will allow me to add more depth to boss battles and further fine-tune the game's difficulty. If you find any game-breaking bugs, please report them immediately!


Story:

Several strange and exciting events are shaking up the status quo in the Vagon Region! A new Pokémon League has been established to replace the old, corrupt one, Z-Power, an energy thought only to exist in Alola, is spreading throughout the land, and a gang of misfit archaeologists known as Team Plunder is raiding Vagon's many ruins and tombs.

You are a 16-year old teenager starting your Pokémon journey throughout the Vagon Region. Your mother, Professor Sequoia, specializes in Pokémon psychology. Along with your best friend and your father, Robert, she sends you to explore the region and uncover the secrets of Mega Evolution and Z-Power!


Characters:

Quincy and Taylor: The main protagonists of this adventure! The opposite gender character will be your main rival! As your best friend for as long as you can remember, he/she is bursting with excitement to finally become a Pokémon Trainer long after the initial Trainer's starting age of 10. Unsure of what he/she wants out of his/her future, he/she decides to register for the Vagon Gym Challenge. His/her passion, conviction, and strong sense of justice make him/her an ideal comrade to have along for this journey!

Professor Sequoia: The resident Pokémon professor of the Vagon Region and an expert in Pokémon psychology. In her practice, she's helped many Trainers and their Pokémon resolve issues in their relationships and work together optimally as a team. Mega Evolution and Z-Power have been major influences on her studies as of late. As your mother, she's eager to give you your first Pokémon and set you loose to pursue your goals (and hopefully uncover some answers as to how Mega Evolution and Z-Power affect the minds of Pokémon.)

Robert Sequoia: Your father and husband to Professor Sequoia. He is also a researcher for the Devon Corporation branch in Vagon. Underneath his macho exterior, he's a loving parent who has always been there for you throughout your childhood. As a child, he never got to go on a journey with Pokémon, so now he's determined to win the Vagon League Conference and make his childhood dream of becoming a Pokémon League Champion come true!

Catalina: A 17-year-old employee of the Silph Co. branch in Vagon. Highly intelligent and relentlessly determined, she will stop at nothing to become the Vagon League Champion. Having been a loner all her life, she finds it much easier to connect emotionally with Pokémon than with humans. There are also rumors floating around about her past with one of the Elite Four...and her entanglement with a Team Plunder executive...

I have never attempted to make a fan game before, and this is definitely a huge project that would be made easier with some extra hands on deck! If you are willing to offer your talents, such as scripting, sprite art, concept art, tileset art, or anything else, I would appreciate it more than you know!
[/SPOILER]

Thank you so very much to those who decide to give my demo a try! Please consider taking my survey and giving feedback on how I can improve my project!

So, time for a bit of a progress report. I'm going to try and start doing these more regularly as I don't want to just leave the thread hanging for months at a time like I have been. Recently, my main focus is finishing spriting all the Fakemon I have planned for the main story. Right now I have 53 more to go, not including alternate forms. Working by myself, I hope to have them all done by the middle of August. I will work as fast as I can given that I have other day-to-day responsibilities to take care of, as most adults do, but I will be sure to keep anyone who may still be interested updated on how things are going.

I also hope to start uploading devlog-style videos to my YouTube channel very soon. I'll be sure to link it here once that gets started. Again, I thank everyone who has played the demos and have supported the project in any way. I won't let you down.

To be honest I'm pretty suprised myself despite how the sprite look the game actually fun and not really different from original pokemon game. I hope more people give chance. Stay healthy
