Recruiting Pokemon Epitaph - Looking for Writers and UI Artists

[WispyShrooms]

Engine: Pokémon Essentials

About
Welcome to Pokémon Epitaph! This brand new Gen 4-style Pokémon Essentials Fangame has you explore a Scandinavia-Inspired Region known as the Fimbul Region, which is known for its deeply rooted culture and connection to nature among both people and Pokémon.

This game is currently in Early Development, but we plan to have a cast of 120 new Fakemon, a host of which are new Regional Forms, an expansion on Exploration Mechanics such as Diving and Hidden Grottos, and a new battle mechanic in the form of Rune Forms.

Story​

Pokémon Epitaph's story is one of Traditions vs Advancement as you find yourself trying to find an identity within a constantly evolving world where You, your Sibling, and your Best Friend get accepted into the League Program as the day your journey begins within your hometown known as Steingrove as your graduation is met with your Mom, Professor Pines, who gives you: known as Berkana Town with a gift:

​

The gift of three starter Pokémon! The Water Snake Pokémon Vansaic, The Fire Pup Pokémon Inferdur, and the Grass Pony Pokémon Ponush.
With this gift her only request is for you to assist in completing the Pokedex and strongly encourages you to follow the Path of Champions to claim the 8 gym badges and face the Region's Undefeated Champion, Leif.
Yet, beyond your small town, you'll find there are a lot more challenges awaiting you as an ancient, forgotten prophecy begins to come true. Do you have what it takes to pick up this vast region's forgotten Epitaph?



The Evil Team of the Game, Team Berserker.

Team Berserk is inspired by the Vikings and is an organization known for its brutal methods in battle as they collect powerful Pokémon for some unknown goal, though there have been some theories. Some people believe they want to take over the region, while others believe it is something much bigger. What is known is the Pokémon they use tend to be as wild as the people in the team themselves, with some even blaming Team Berserk for a recent phenomenon known as Rune Pokémon. These energy-infused Pokémon tend to be far more powerful than the average Pokémon, yet also are much more untamed, making them especially dangerous.






The Aurora Energy Corporation

Throughout your journey, you'll encounter The Aesir Foundation, a newly-formed organization run by

Professor Bristlecone and the Champion's brother, Ivar.



The goal of the Aurora Energy Corporation is to bring the region into an age of prosperity through the advancement of technology and, secondarily, investigating the various ruins throughout the region. Their research has uncovered a possible connection to the "Rune Phenomena" in the form of rifts opening in certain spots within the region to a new dimension known as the Astral Realm.

This strange Ultra Space-inspired land is almost a parrel to the region and is meant to act as an "open world" esq section akin to the Wild Area or Safari Zone from the base Pokémon Games.

Now, what do we need?
