Pokémon Distortion Black
Well... this one has been a long time in the making. Originally conceived in 2013 and announced in 2014. So much has changed since then.In 2015 I started working on a remake of this game that did eventually get cancelled officially in 2017. But now I'm back with it and it's better than ever.
I have re-imagined the entire game and it's story while still keeping beats of the original version(s). And with the CFRU I feel like I can finally realize
the vision I have for this game.
Story
Spoiler:
Eight years ago the people of Sinnoh have witnessed a disaster like never seen before.
The leader of the now disbanded Team Galactic, Cyrus, has summoned the legendary Pokémon Dialga and Palkia into this world.
The masters of space and time. With the legendary artifact, the "Red Chain" he forced both Pokémon to bend to his will.
As Cyrus ordered both Pokémon to create a new world, his ultimate goal, there was a sudden interruption.
A shadow with tremendous power emerged from the ground and freed Dialga and Palkia from its chains.
The shadow proceeded to attack Cyrus and he... disappeared with it.
Word has spread far and wide about this event, no one is exactly sure what happened.
Eventually an organization emerged that plans to capture this Pokémon and perhaps there is a way...
You start out your adventure in Sunshine City.
Your good nights rest is being interrupted by your friend Cheryl, as she knocking at your door full of excitement. As you open the door she tells you that
she has found a weird stone plate in the forest... what could this be about?

FAQ
Spoiler:
- Can you add this feature/add this Pokémon..?
No, don't bother. I'm not interested in adding all these things from newer generation that I don't care about. - Can I be beta tester?
No. I have gotten to know more than enough people over the years that can fulfill this task. - When will there be a release...?
When it's done, no release dates will be annouced as my work schedules are too unreliable. - Are you still working on it?
If I don't - I will announce it, like I did the last time. - Is there a discord channel for this hack?
No, and there won't be one. I simply do not have the patience for something like this.
Bugs
- Will be listed once theres a release
Download
None.Whenever I feel like a release is ready there will be one - but for now its still far off. I do not plan on releasing a half baked game.
