Introduction:
Hey! I'm WaterTrainer, you might know me from my almost completed game 'Pokemon Solar Light Lunar Dark' I'm already onto my next project called 'Pokemon Theós' (Theósis the Greek word for God) which is currently in the early stages of development! I'm gather up everything I need for a demo release within the next few months. Here's how the game goes!

Story:
You start your adventure in the Greek inspired region of Thrylos (Greek word for Legend). The game has you start at the end of your Trainer School Graduation, there you meet your friends/rivals who have also graduated Trainer School, having graduated, you are now legally allowed to become a Pokemon trainer! After everything settles down, you head to the Pokemon Lab to get your starter Pokemon, just before you get there you meet a boy named Calidan who is there to get his starter Pokemon too, with him, his twin sister Callista who already has a starter Pokemon. Going inside you meet Professor Carob - a young professor that is studying myths and legends, after talking to the professor you find out that his assistant who was delivering the starter Pokemon to him from Dentro Town hasn't arrived yet, even though he said he was almost there an hour ago, he asks you to head to Route 1 to find him as that's the last place he heard from him, you, along with Calidan and Callista head to Route 1 and see that the professors assistant has been cornered by 3 wild Pokemon called Possy! He asks the 3 of you to help, Callista is ready to go but she can't handle all 3 Pokemon herself so the assistant tells you and Calidan to take one of the Pokemon from his bag that is laying nearby, you do so, this is where you choose your starter Pokemon and battle the wild Possy to save the assistant! After you save the assistant, he asks you to head back with him to the lab, there the Professor thanks you and gives you and Calidan your Pokedex and tasks you with discovering the legends surrounding the Thrylos Region and uncover ancient ruins and myths. This is where the adventure begins!

Features:

  • Over 200 brand new original Pokemon!
  • Some old (real) Pokemon will be found in Thrylos
  • Regional Forms of older Pokemon can be found!
  • Many characters to meet and battle
  • Hidden Grotto's make a return! And this time you can find Pokemon Eggs!
  • Quests - Help trainers and people with things they need and you will get rewards!
  • And many, many more to be included!
The 12 Tasks
Like the story of Hercules and the 12 tasks he was required to complete, Thrylos has something similar. The Thrylos, trainers can take part in 'Thrylos Tasks' throughout the region you will encounter a Task Leader who will ask you to complete a challenging task, whether it be clearing out a dungeon of wild Pokemon or traversing a tricky maze, once completing the task, you must battle the task leaders 2 understudies to prove you're worthy of battling the Task leader, once defeating the task master, you will receive a Task Medallion and a rare item. Once you have collected 8 Task Medallions you must track down the 4 Task Masters scattered throughout the region and battle them, afterwards you can enter the 'Task Trainers Championship.'
Essentially this is the gym system and trial system blended together.

Pokemon:
Thrylos is chock full of new Pokemon

Recruiting!:

  • Mappers! - I can make maps myself but I actually need someone to but them into the game.
  • RPGMaker experts, someone who actually knows how to work RPGMaker and how to actually event and put things together.
  • Wikia - I need people to help with stats and movepools etc for the Pokemon, I'm not the best at it so someone with this knowledge would surely help!
I have most of the art side of things done and have also finished the script for the first demo so I just need someone to help me put it all together, if that's you, hit me up!

I hope all the fakemon aren't so cutesy and that there's some real tough looking ones in your pokedex, other than that this looks A++.

I've tried to balance out the 'cute' and the 'cool' ones, there's a mix of everything, I think people will be happy with what I've come up with :)

The overworld and the sprites look so plain yet so beautiful.
Thanks! I like to keep things simple and not over overly complicated, keeping the Pokemon with a Gen 1&2 feel in their designs.

The Grass starter is actually the one I had the hardest time coming up with, I previously had 2 other Grass starters made before coming up with Steggle, Steggle's evolutions are pretty cool too.

Oh, wow!
The Fakemon look great, and the overworld looks immense <3
Haven't seen a project that looked so appealing to me in such a long time!

Thanks so much! I've been doing a lot of practice with tiles so make them all fit together, games like Ethereal Gates and Spectrum gave me some inspiration. :)


Side note - Still looking for people to join me on making this into a proper game :)

Any idea when we'll get info on the demo? If you are still looking for someone to do movesets and or mapping, I'd be happy to give it a go. Though I am working on my own game, I really want to see this game become a realitycause im a sucker for fakemon.

I'm getting everything together/made for the demo as well as making a team so I'll be doing all that before putting a demo together, I'd rather have everything done first before having to do updates all the time :)

This game looks super cool! I played a bit of Solar Light/Lunar Dark and really enjoyed the experience.

The Tasks sound really neat and I like the originality of the concept, it's nice to have something different. I'm also a fan of the Fakemon, with Kelpony being my favourite.

If I had a shred of talent/experience in fangame development, I'd lend a hand. However, I'll be following this closely. ^^

This looks really promising! I'd gladly help out with any RPG Maker issues, but I'm not too familiar with the Pokemon Essentials Kit... but I do know my way around RPG Maker itself.
Regardless, my only criticism so far is that the male protagonist looks a bit strange. Hoping that there's gonna be a female protag. Other than that, this looks really cool, and I'm really excited to try out a demo!

Hey, I've got someone helping me out with RPG Maker now and we're working on the demo, as for the male protag, I'm hoping to add in trainer customization so I tried to make him look bland so that people can have them how they want.
Yes there is a female protag, at the time of the screenshots, there wasn't a overworld for her so I just used the male one.
