Hey everyone,

Here is Pokemon Elect! The concept is simple in thought but far more complex in realization: To change standard Pokemon games to allow them to feel more like a personalized RPG rather than just a generic top-down premade storybook. So as a result you will get to CHOOSE everything that happens in your journey.

Features Include
  • Catching your first starter Pokemon from one of 36 possible choices!
  • Choosing 1 of many various professions. Said professions each have pros and cons to them and have their own customized dialogue/actions throughout the game.
  • Trust based system with every NPC that leads to gift Pokemon, trade possibilities, item gifts, and side quests
  • Scaled profession challenges meaning you can explore the map in any way/order you like in its' entirety.
  • You can change professions at any time.
  • Generations 1-7 included.
  • Updated Moves, Abilities, and Types
  • Profession Master Perks (Elite rewards made for achieving the highest rank of a profession)
  • Brand New Region to fully explore
  • MANY interesting NPCs all of which have information, professions, and ideas of their own and may agree or disagree with your path and will act accordingly
Professions

I wanted to give a bit more information about professions and what they are. Professions are how you come to be known in the Pokemon world. You can be a variety of professions such as a Pokemon Trainer, a Pokemon Doctor, a Breeder, a Police Officer, a Pokemon Thief, etc.

Said professions will each have a rank completely unique to them and you are free to change professions at any time during your journey. However rank progress does not carry over to NEW professions. This means if you're a rank 4 Trainer and you want to switch to being an Officer you will go back to rank 1. If you do go back to a previous profession it will revert to whatever your rank was at its' highest for that specific profession. This means in the above example that if you got to rank 6 as an Officer and then swapped back to Trainer you would be at rank 4.

Your professions impact how the world around you will treat you. This means things like if you are a Doctor instead of battling you on a route Trainers may ask for your help in healing their Pokemon through various ways. If you're a high ranking Thief, Officers in the world may attack you on site prompting a battle which if lost means BIG trouble for you. If you're a renowned Breeder NPCs may ask for your aid in getting a certain result of pokemon, etc.

The NPCs in the world will ALSO have professions of their own and your profession may align or misalign with theirs. If so they may make comments of it or trust will be gained less easily with them. (Doctors for example don't really trust Trainers due to them constantly putting their Pokemon in harm's way without much hesitation, though they still happily help trainers regardless).

The higher your rank is on a certain profession the more the world around you will recognize you for said profession and the more profession-related concepts will pop up. Once you get your rank up high enough you qualify for the Master Rank challenge in each respective profession. To relate this in normal terms the Pokemon Trainer's Master Challenge is to beat the Elite 4 BUT in this game the E4 actually live up to their naming being 4 of the most elite Trainers in the region.

Once you achieve Master Rank in a profession you gain a Master Rank Perk. These perks are VERY rewarding but rightfully so as they are also VERY difficult to obtain. As an example the Master Rank Perk for the Doctor route is something along the following:

"Pokemon Centers? Pfft not for a Master Healer, you have the ability to heal your entire party anytime, any place. Additionally you have FULL access to all healing items in the game at a 100% discount from the store as a sponsor for you to use throughout the region as you heal others."

This game is in VERY early stages but I am currently working towards getting a demo up to the end of your First profession challenge for a small selection of professions just as a trial run.

Profession List (Subject to Change)

So I know you all are curious on what professions made it and what did not. We are exploring MANY options but keep in mind professions aren't just added to be added, we want storylines behind each and every profession (though some professions will naturally be larger than others in terms of story). In addition to this we also want every profession to be a quality one that has meaningful and impactful responsibilities and perks behind it. We want the interactions to feel special when you choose that profession. So here is where we are at so far:
  • Pokemon Trainer
  • Pokemon Ranger
  • Pokemon Breeder
  • Thief
  • Police Officer
  • Pokemon Doctor
  • Pokemon Researcher
  • Astronaut
  • Diver
The Guyre Region

Your adventure awaits you in this large open-world region. It is approximately 150% the size of the Johto region and offers you access to 5 very large cities, 10 unique and special towns, over 22 unique dungeons (think caves, forests, etc.), and over 30 routes. The terrain varies and you will have many tools at your disposal to completely traverses this sprawling terrain. Best part? Once the main game hits you will be able to go anywhere and do anything in whatever order pleases you. The world will completely scale around you so feel free to explore at your pace, your way!

Yes and no. Each profession will have a rank to it as a milestone of progress with 8 ranks for all major professions. In that sense there are gyms. These ranks will have various tasks required for promoting. If you want a gym-like experience the pokemon trainer profession is for you. Not every rank promotion is a gym battle but something is battle related. They have to be rank leaders (gym battle), win various battle tournaments, get properly equipped with proper battle items, moves, and teams, and show advanced battle strategy by the last rank.

In terms of game length that will vary greatly depending on the player and what they explore. The game is built around giving you the player the power to choose what and how you do everything. In some cases you may be able to "beat" the game without ever touching a good chunk of the region. It genuinely just depends on how you want to play. If you just do the minimum for a single profession and don't do much exploring or interacting with the world you're probably looking at 10-15 hours total in the game, but if you explore each professions storyline and work towards building trust with everyone and do sidequests and such you'll have about 150 hours of gameplay give or take by the end of it.

Let me know if you have any other questions!
