Introduction
Hey guys, I had a lot of fun creating my last game Chaos in Vesita and even before finishing I already had many ideas for this project.
Inspired by Pokémon Scarlet and Violet I had the desire to create an open world Pokémon game myself. A game where the players themselves decide how to take on their adventures. Gyms, story events, rival battles can be challenged in any order you want.



[PokeCommunity.com] Pokémon: Chaos Origins (Open World) [Recruitment]



Plot Summary
The gigantic Tamterra region offers you a diverse selection of biomes that can be explored the way you want. 11 in total.
Starting in the capital Genesis City you proudly receive your first Pokémon as a student at the Redstone Academy. A place where you spent a lot of time preparing for the wild vastness of Tamterra meeting your friends Aiden, Mona, Fred and Runa (pic above). Each a personality of its own...
You are tasked to travel the region and get as strong and knowing as possible to eventually beat the elite four so you can make your way into the Redstone Canyon.

It is a perilous place where danger lurks at every turn. A mysterious portal within the canyon has been emitting a dangerous virus that infects regular Pokémon, making them more aggressive and hostile. The origin of this portal, which appeared around 15 years ago, remains a mystery. However, a dedicated team of scientists and skilled trainers, operating under an organization called the Canyon Operation, is working to uncover the truth. The Canyon Operation, led by your mother, was founded after your father, the first and only scientist to study the portal, entered it and never returned. Today, the Canyon Operation continues to research these virus-infected Pokémon and strives to keep them under control to protect the people and Pokémon of Tamterra.

Will you as a newly minted student of the Redstone be able to uncover the secrets of Tamterras dark past and the origin of the virus-Pokémon?

Gameplay
In this game, every notable character has a role that enriches the world and enhances your journey. For instance, you'll encounter a wealthy, snobby Gym Leader who lives by the beach, spending their parents' money, a farmer whose Pokémon assist in daily fieldwork, and even an astronaut who will take you to space in the post-game. Gym Leaders have busy lives, so don't be surprised if they aren't in their gyms the first time you visit a town.

A key aspect of your adventure is visiting every Canyon Operation Base (C.O.B.). These bases are crucial for understanding the virus affecting Pokémon and learning how it interacts with different types. Each C.O.B. is filled with virus-infected Pokémon to battle. After defeating the head of each base, you'll earn special badges—six in total—required to enter the Tamterran League.

With your friends, you'll explore the region, challenging both gyms and C.O.B.s to qualify for the Tamterran League. Your ultimate goal is to enter Redstone Canyon, stop the virus-infected Pokémon, and uncover the truth behind its origin!

In this game, you have the freedom to challenge Gym Leaders, Canyon Operation Bases (C.O.B.s), and trainers in any order you prefer! The game features level scaling, so as you progress and earn badges, the teams of important characters will adjust and grow stronger, keeping the challenge fresh.

Pokémon can be encountered both in the overworld and in tall grass, offering diverse ways to build your team. Like in Paldea, Ace Trainers are present on each route, but they'll only challenge you once you've defeated every other trainer in the area.

The capital city features a subway system for easy navigation across its seven large districts.

While HM items will be available during the main game, they're not required for story progression. These items will allow you to access hidden areas or items, but you can explore the entire region on foot from the start. However, you'll need all the HMs to navigate inside the canyon during the post-league content, so don't overlook them!

The new Virus-type Pokémon present a formidable challenge, with minimal weaknesses, making them tough opponents.

The game will introduce Fakemon as starters and legendaries, along with regional forms from a curated Pokédex spanning Generations 1-9, including new custom Virus-Evolutions

How can you help?
This game sounds very ambitious at first but with the help of an amazing team I'm sure we will get there faster.
I have concepts done already but need people to finalize them and bring them to life/some fitting touches.

Therefore we need:
+A spriter for Trainer Sprites/OW Sprites
+An artist for UI and title screen
+A Balancer would be very much needed
+Sound artist for Pokémon cries
+Writers for main story, characters, NPC's and Trainers


Of course were going to help each other out so no one has to do things alone :)
Our team right now
-Delta (Writing, Balancing, Testing)
-ChaoticEnergy (Writing)
-Jbsundown (Scripting)
-pizzataco890 (Testing)
-Kyatra (Spriting, concept arts)
-arandomperson (Artworks Characters/Pokémon)
-Chappie (Team Management, Spriting)
-UnOvA (Mapping, Eventing, Writing, Spriting)

Essentials
+Working with Essentials V.20 and BW tilesets mainly by UltimoSpriter and many other artists (which I have credit for)
+RPG Maker XP

As I said the concepts are mostly all done and I need your help to finalize and make it better than ever! :D
