My first project, (over 3 years off and on in the making...) Pokemon ReDX!
made with the Pokémon Essentials GS base
Prof Oak has charged you three to beta test his life’s work, the Pokédex! Help take down the Team Rocket criminal organization. The Admins from HGSS now make appearances in their Kanto games. Looker has come to Kanto to try and uncover Team Rocket’s motives, he will meet up with you on occasion to lend a hand. Take on the Gym Challenge! Kanto's Champion's throne is currently vacant, the league has issued a challenge to all trainers to try and claim the throne for themselves!
ReDX features an expanded dex to the original 151 (coming in at around 300 species!). The Kanto region has received some minor upgrades to accommodate the new Pokémon. For example Routes 9 and 10 are now canyons and there’s a path split in Rock Tunnel that leads to a snowy mountaintop. New Mega Evolutions are being discovered too! There are side quests to pick up for extra rewards as you play through the game. Apex Pokémon are here to challenge you! A twist on Totem Pokémon, Apex Pokémon cannot be captured, but will drop loot when defeated. You will not find Apex Pokémon out in the wild, they each have a den they reside in. A Switch Battle style has been changed, now “Switch” style no longer tells you what the incoming Pokémon is. Hidden Grottos will allow you to find rare Pokemon and items. Wonder Trade unlocks during the story and allows you to find even more Pokemon! The Cable Club in Pokemon Centers is now the Trainer's Nook, where various services are provided for trainers. As you earn badges more services are unlocked! No longer do you need the move FLY! In nearly every major location you will find the Pidgeot Express, who will fly you to a place you've been to before (for a fee).
Grammar I need to go back through and work on re-writing a lot of text (I started this project 2-3 years ago and some of the older stuff is poorly written) there is also a lot of inconsistency on if Pokémon and people are written out as BULBASUR or Bulbasaur. Many instances of Pokemon or Pokedex instead of Pokémon and Pokédex that needs to be fixed.
Music Currently most all the music is MP3, I need to get all my music converted to looping tracks, low priority, but something I want to do to help with file size.
Balance I need a handful of “beta” testers to run through the game and test how well the difficulty curve is (I know what to expect so “surprises” won’t work on me as well).
Quests More quests to be added, existing quests to be polished up some more, that sort of thing.
Post Game There’s currently 3 Post Game story beats I have planned that are still in the works.
First is the dealing with the remnants of Team Rocket, this one is in 2 parts with Part 1 nearly complete.
The Battle Fortress is a mini post game facility that will have the player challenge the Battle King and his minions.
The Origin of all Pokémon will have the player explore the secret of Mew. Currently there is a Mew event that unlocks a Mew Battle in the Post Game, but that’s a placeholder until I can fully write the scenario for this event.
When the S.S. Anne plot starts and you can't leave the ship, don't lose until the Rival Battle (You'd have to go out of your way to lose there, but still, you CAN lose to your rival and be fine though, it's just a small window before that battle where the exit is blocked, and thus, the entrance too, working on this issue)
Some battle animations don't play right, main ones I'm aware of are Stealth Rock, the Terrains, and Bide for sure (despite everything in the animation editor showing they should be working right).
You may come across a duplicate TM I'm pretty sure I've made all the TMs one off, but just a heads up if you do find a duplicate. Mind you, there are some TR moves that are also TM moves.
Mega Evolutions don't have shiny sprites yet, so your shiny Black Charizard will turn into an Orange Charizard when it Mega Evolves. This is a fix that will be fixed easily enough. Mega Dragonite does not have a Back Sprite yet.
Some HM items might act funny, I was making them work off a key item at one point, then working off of just having the TM for the needed move in the bag, so a Rock Smash move might call for a Pokemon (like BDSP) or it just uses the move from the bag, either way they function the same. Eventually I will make it all work like BDSP's system. You still need to know Surf on a Pokemon in your party.
Apex Pokemon all have the "Apex Power" Ability which just provides various stat buffs. Eventually I want to make a new ability that combines Apex Power with the base ability of each Apex, so Apex Beedrill would have an Adaptability fused with Apex Power ability.

Visit the trainers School after you get the Pokedex.
All the added Beta Pokemon are Stone Evolutions.
Some Apex Dens open up after your 6th badge, including dens in previous areas such as Viridian Forest, where there were no den before. (Cinnabar Island has an NPC who can tell you roughly where these dens can be found).
The best time to explore the northern portion of Rock Tunnel is after you clear out Pokemon Tower
After you start off the S.S. Anne plot check back with one of the passengers to obtain a reward (If you had talk to them prior it will be obvious which one to return to).
