STORY
You're one of your Professor Magonlia's assistants in the Drosera Region, helping her with her research into reviving old fossils. When going to one of her dig sites, you found an evil group is stealing the Professor's reviving technology and modifying it to allow them to fuse Pokemon together to make them even stronger! During your adventure to stop Team Nexus, you'll be exploring the world, challenging the gym leaders, helping strangers, eventually to become the Champion of the Drosera League! Even after you've completed the League, that's just the beginning! There is a ton more to explore and accomplish after becoming Champion!
FEATURES
Open World
Once you've gotten through the introductory portion of the game, the Drosera Region is entirely open for you to explore in whatever way you like, with new and unique areas. You can beat the gyms in whichever order you choose, as the gym leaders will match their team's strength to your team's depending on how strong you are as a trainer. The general story line for fighting the evil team stays the same regardless of what order you decide to take on the League. Trainers around you will get stronger as you progress as well!
Tons of Side Quests
Axiom will have tons of optional side quests that will take you into dungeons and overworld areas that the main story line won't take you. They can range in rewards and difficulty, easy quests can earn you accessories or foreign Pokémon, while the more difficult quests could reward you with battle items, special moves from a move tutor, or even Legendary Pokémon! Own a house, run a farm, compete in tournaments, there are tons of different activities to explore!
Decreased Random Encounters
To make exploration, a key portion of this game, less tedious, a few key changes have been made. Unavoidable random encounters in caves have been removed, instead you will have to avoid the most dimly lit portions of the cave if you want to avoid Pokémon. Water routes have been overhauled, instead of surfing on the backs of your Pokémon, you will find yourself able to own and operate your own personal boat to traverse deep water, and your own inner tube to assist you travelling across shallow water!
Expanded Pokedex
Eventually I hope that Pokemon will be attainable in this hack through a variety of different means. That being said, t's very important to me to make sure the region doesn't feel cluttered, so to catch many of the Pokemon you will need to talk to Exotic Fish Breeders, Fossil Maniacs, and Pet Shops. You'll also have to look very deep into the caves and forests to find secret places to catch certain Pokemon, and you will have to employ different encounter methods like Rock Smash, Sweet Scent, and using bait. While many will be obtainable, do not expect to be able to find more than 2 or 3 distinct lines of species per area per encounter method.
Removed HMs
I've gotten rid of HMs in favor of giving the player items throughout the story that will allow you to accomplish what HMs previously would. A boat, an inner tube, rock climbing tools, and other tools will be put to use to explore the entire region!
Fusion Pokemon
Team Nexus, the evil team in this hack, uses Fusion Pokemon, which are fusions of similar Pokemon with buffed stats and move pools! They can be incredibly difficult to beat, but if you can figure out what the original Pokemon were then you can probably figure out their weaknesses!
(note: Fusion Pokémon will not be obtainable by the player. With base stats almost double that of Arceus, it would be unreasonable and would invalidate every other Pokémon. they're just boss battles.)
Customizable Character
Although not on the same level as XY and SuMo, this hack will allow you to choose from a variety of different outfits that you can wear throughout your adventure! While you will start with a basic three options to choose from, you can acquire more and more as you explore the Drosera Region.
Updated Battle Mechanics
Physical/Special Split, Fairy Type, BW Repel system, Gen 7 EXP share, etc. As the opponent trainers get stronger, they will begin to use more competitive movesets, EV train their Pokemon, and improve their AI.

CURRENT STATUS
I have up through the first few major plot points completed, but I don't want to release anything until I am sure that the sava data will be future-proof. Once I've talking to some other ROM hackers about this and made sure players won't have to reset progress if I change how certain things work in upcoming updates, I'll look into releasing an alpha build.
If you have any questions ask me on here or on Discord, I'm pretty much always lurking on here, and I'm always active on Discord.
