Pokemon: Ruins of Alvaron

Welcome to the Pokemon: Ruins of Alvaron Thread!

Hi there, I'm Valora17. I'm currently a Senior in High school, a Cheerleader, and a Theatre Kid. There isn't much to say really, but this is my game: Pokemon - Ruins of Alvaron. As you might have inferred, this is a Pokemon Fan Game. I'm currently leading the project with some help from some friends on other forums, though we could always use the extra help. Originally this project started in February 2010 as Pokemon Abysmal Summer and Primordial Winter, but I scrapped the old idea and created this one anew. A lot of the info is posted below with few pieces left out for suspense purposes --actually, it's not much that's left out. Anyway, I'd love some feedback and help if anyone is interested..

This here is the Alvaron Region where your journey begins. It is a region forged originally by the four PokeGods of Seasons. It is formed from several small islands which maintain a wide variety of terrain and habitats in which pokemon thrive. On several islands are the Ruins which are home to the legendary PokeGods and their servants, the Storm Guardians. (And there you have it, seven legends so far. :])



Welcome to the region of Alvaron where pokemon and humans leave harmoniously with one another on a day-to-day basis. The people of Alvaron are best known for their exports to other regions as well as their broad array of skilled workers throughout the region. The people and pokemon of Alvaron are highly, as one might call it, religious; they praise the four legendary PokeGods who maintain the natural stability in their large island paradise. For as many generations as anyone can remember, a story has been passed down which foretells a forthcoming disaster that the deities would ensue when the world needed punishment, so the people of Alvaron have always taken it upon themselves to keep the deities happy by providing offerings at the start of each season to the Ruins of Alvaron.

The general populace of Alvaron does not battle and would rather live with their pokemon as friends, however there is still a relatively large amount of men and women who befriend pokemon for battle as the law states must be done. The region itself does not possess a lab, nor are there individuals who freely give trainers pokemon; a trainer must befriend a pokemon who will then become his or her partner and from then on can freely roam as a trainer.



The intro of the game is very Pokemon Mystery Dungeon like in the sense that you MUST watch it at least once because it's the intro to the game itself. After that you can save in-game and skip whenever you like. Regardless, the intro is a video which shows you whats going on in the region, explaining that the following day is the start of Summer and showing the PokeGod of Summer, Ete. The "player" then goes to sleep and you enter the creation process, which we won't go in to right now.

As you enter the game it starts with you going to work an befriending your first pokemon. You then are introduced to your "Rival(s)." Your character has /always/ wanted to travel, though his parents would not let him/her without protection, and once you acquire your first pokemon they agree to let you travel the region, but you are not allowed to leave Alvaron by any means. Of course, as a child raised in Alvaron your character's main priority is not the endangerment of his friends through the Gym Circuit. His/her main goal is to create a home for his friends, a ranch --so to speak. You can increase the size of your ranch by moving through the region and finding shops that allow such, as well as items and what-not; however your ranch remains very plain with only the basic necessities for your pokemon if you do this. If you enter the gym circuit you are rewarded with additional add-ons such as ponds, forested areas, etc.

However, you soon find that Ete has not awoken from his slumber and Printemps, the PokeGod of Spring, as well as Automne, PokeGod of Autumn, are both aware of this. Automne and Printemps --Opposites-- wage a war for control which highly disrupts the natural flow of things in Alvaron as sections of the region have undergone strange transformations.

--This is all I'm willing to leak right now.--
