[Developing] Pokémon Fantasy Version - A whole new world to explore - Literally!

Hi there! I am Gajeel! I am currently creating pokémon fantasy!
If you have a spare Mega Purugly sprite lying around, or are willing to make one for me, message me please! I will be very greatfull!

[S-HIGHLIGHT]Why I decided to create the game[/S-HIGHLIGHT]

I see a lot of popular pokémon games around nowadays, and I play a lot of them. But I always have one issue: Grinding. I find it saps the fun out of the game having to spend and hour or more getting your pokémon to a level at which they can stand a chance against enemy trainers, so that's what I strive to do in my game! There are normally quite a lot of trainers per route, and all wild pokémon are around the level you should be at to save training them up.
Pokémon Fantasy also gives you a hole new world to explore! It gives a sense of freshness, knowing that you're travelling through a different world!
Pokémon Fantasy uses RPG maker XP and Pokémon Essentials

[S-HIGHLIGHT]Plot[/S-HIGHLIGHT]

Pokémon Fantasy version doesn't take place in your rock of the mill pokémon world, it takes place in a world called Utopia. Utopia is inhabited by three intelligent life forms: Humans, Angels and Demons, each specie have their own home turf, called their sector. This means that each trainer class has three forms!
A hundred years prior to the protagonist; you, starting your journey a great war raged in Utopia, between each of the three species. But then pokémon mysteriously appeared, halting the war due to each species interest in the new life forms. In the end, the angelic realms ruler at the time used pokémon as an excuse to stop the war entirely, and to ensure peace created the pokémon league. Angels teamed up with humans to create a spherical device called the 'pokéball' which was enchanted by the Angels to capture pokémon. The Demons were ordered to manufacture potions to heal injured pokémon, and soon pokémon centres popped up in every town, inside the buildings you could purchase pokéballs, potions and other items as well as heal injured pokémon. Gyms were set up for people who trained pokémon, pokémon trainers, to attempt to become the best in the world. There are five gyms in each sector, giving Utopia fifteen gyms overall. After you beat all fifteen gyms, you get the chance to challenge the 'Final Stretch' where you have to face all fifteen gym leaders again, with stronger teams, consecutively (You get a rest after each five). After completing the final stretch you get to face the reigning champion, and after you defeat them you get crowned the champion yourself.

Soon after arriving in Utopia, some pokémon were corrupted into Angelic and Demonic pokémon, suffering a change in look, moves and type, into Angelic and Demonic type respectively, Angelic pokémon showed a change in defences, while demonic pokémon exhibited a change in attack force. This could weaken or strengthen the pokémon.

Your journey in Utopia starts in the deepest parts of a forest, where the mysterious Professor Eden gives you a corrupted version of a Unova starter. From there you trek across Route 1, where at the end you meet a mysterious Angel, called Harrison. Harrison is quite cocky in his mannerisms, but can't bare to see an innocent person get hurt. He holds the power of all three Kanto starters, but his ace is decided by your starter. He always picks the one strongest against you.
After receiving a Pokédex, a book enchanted by angels to record every pokémon you see, from professor Eden, you encounter your second rival, the shy Anne. She uses the Hoenn starters, and will always choose the one strong against your starter.

Around the same time as you begin your journey, a new crime syndicate rises, called team Warhead, who claim to want to abolish pokémon battling in exchange for the old style of hand to hand combat. The team specialises in fighting type pokémon, but sometimes fight your pokémon themselves, in a rather suicidal attempt to get their goals across. You will have to fight the team at quite a few turns in your journey.

[S-HIGHLIGHT]Starters[/S-HIGHLIGHT]


These are Demonic Snivy, Tepig and Oshawott! They have re-vamped move sets, and different abilities!

Demonic Snivy is a Demonic-Grass type, and has a new focus on dark and grass type moves! Armed with the ability Rough skin it could be a valuable ally to your team!

Demonic Tepig is a Demonic-Fire type, and has a new focus on rock and fire type moves! With the ability Bulletproof, it can block quite a number of attacks, meaning it could be a must have for your team!

Demonic Oshawott is a Demonic-Water type, and has a focus on ghost type moves! It owns the ability cursed body, meaning it could disable hard hitting moves from the more powerful threats!

[S-HIGHLIGHT]Features[/S-HIGHLIGHT]

Two new types: Angelic and Demonic!
A whole new world to explore!
An evil team who's grunts might actually fight your pokémon themselves!
The ability to swap team members without opening the menu!
Three types of each trainer!
A new form of evolution: BREAK!

[S-HIGHLIGHT]Angelic and Demonic types[/S-HIGHLIGHT]

Angelic and demonic types are features in Pokémon Fantasy. There are no fakemon, or pokémon just re-typed, but corrupted pokémon, who will be given the angelic or demonic typing, added onto their current one, e.g. Demonic Snivy is a Demonic and Grass type. Angelic and Demonic types are super effective against each other, and weak to grass, water and fire. Angelic type resists flying, poison and psychic, and is also super effective against these types, and Demonic resists ground, poison and fairy and is also super effective against these types.
There are some angelic and demonic moves, but the movesets of demonic and angelic pokémon are also drastically changed, giving demonic pokémon more fire and ground moves, and Angelic being given more flying and fairy moves.
Corrupted pokémon's stats are also changed: Demonic pokémon have better special attack, attack and speed, but lower special defence, defence and HP, while Angelic pokémon have higher defence, special defence and HP, but lower attack, special attack and speed.

[S-HIGHLIGHT]BREAK Evolution[/S-HIGHLIGHT]

BREAK evolution is a new form of evolution, only descovered during your travels through Utopia! Did the old Pokémon world even know about this new and interesting form of evolution?
BREAK evolution is present in the pokémon TCG, but not in main series games. Pokémon Fantasy gives pokémon the oppertunity to BREAK, like Raichu, or Delphox!

As you can see above, BREAK pokémon turn gold when BREAK is initiated! If the pokémon is shiny, it'll turn silver, and if it's Demonic or Angelic it will turn chrome red or chrome white!
BREAK pokémon have slightly boosted stats, and special BREAK abilities! e.g. BREAK Raichu's BREAK Electrifier, which turns normal type moves into electric type moves!
BREAK Pokémon evolve with BREAK stones, but these stones are very rare, you'll be lucky if you find one on your journey throught Utopia!
BREAK pokémon are permanently in their BREAK forms, meaning after you BREAK your pokémon, you can't revert it back to normal.
You'd think that if a Demonic or Angelic pokémon can BREAK, it's normal counterpart can too, but no! A few Demonic and Angelic pokémon can go above their normal counterparts, and achive something their originals can't: BREAK!

[S-HIGHLIGHT]Protagonists[/S-HIGHLIGHT]

Emory:



Emory is the male protagonist

Zena:



Zena is the female protagonist.

Cameron:



Cameron is the gender neutral protagonist.

Harrison:



Harrison is one of your rivals. He seems to hate trainers who he perceives as weak, causing him to constantly ignore Anne. The only time he will side with anyone who he believes are under him is against team Warhead, who's goals he strongly opposes. Harrison fights for his ideals of becoming champion and destroying team Warhead.

Anne:



The shy but sweet Anne will be your other rival in this adventure. She is constantly dissed by Harrison, but even though she still believes him to be kind at heart. Anne searches for her truths, the truth of what she should do on her journey.

Your images are broken....just saying. but I also like the ideas of having demonic types and Angelic types. can you give examples of the Pokémon who become those types and what their strengths and weaknesses are?

Click to expand...

I fixed the pictures, and added the weaknesses and strengths of Demonic and Angelic types. I'll give more examples after I've got the sprites for the corrupted pokémon, but there are Demonic Unova starters, Buneary and Lopunny, and Angelic Sinnoh starters, Stunky and Skuntank. I've got around fifty different corrupted pokémon planned, and I want a hundered overall, due to demonic and angelic pokémons common appearences in routes in their sectors. I will only leak a few, and leave the rest for the player to find themselves, but do expect to see some sprites on the thread soon!
Have a good day ~ Gajeel

your game looks great please complete it

Progress Log:
Still alive!
Redone protagonists! The new playable characters are ready!
Ironed out most bugs from the Alphas! 0.4 is roughly bug free, but I only intend to release the first beta after the fifth gym, so there's a nice amount of content
Had a LOT of thinking as to where the game is going, I feel like I've got the main plot line of the game, and a whole lot of backstory to Utopia, but most of the history of Utopia and Pokémon in the region will be in the game itself, so you can find it out yourself!
Because of the long break from posts, here are two of the maps!
Route 1:


Northmanni city: (The location of the first main team Warhead encounter, and home of the first Gym, a normal gym ran by Filimena)


Have a good day ~ Gajeel

I must say, I love the idea of a Pokemon game without needing to spend hours upon hours grinding, the idea of the angelic and demonic Pokemon sounds awesome, and the maps look beautiful. Will this game have all 721 Pokemon in it?

Thanks!
The game should have all 721 pokémon, fakemon, demonic and angelic pokemon and BREAK evolutions available, at least in the post game. The lack of grinding might make you bored with the large amount of trainer battles though, but after finishing the first batch of fakemon, I intend to give each trainer some unique information about Utopia's in depth history, so you don't start to get bored. There will also be optional battles throughout the pokécenters and houses in the towns and cities, so if you fall a bit behind, you can still catch up!

Sounds great!

this sounds really cool and I really want to test it out sometime! do you know when you can release the beta? :)

Thanks!
I'm not really sure about release dates, sorry... I hope to get it out before Sun and Moon, but I can't guarantee that...
There are multiple problems that'll delay release, including fakemon and demonic/angelic pokémon spriters, which I have to search for due to my abominable spriteing skills, and many other issues.

Quick side note, asking for release dates is considered spam in the game dev section, so be careful. I'm not going to scold you or anything, just warn you so you don't get banned or something.

Progress Log
I have coded in more BREAKs, and abilities
I have decided against fakemon. There will be enough new things to find with BREAKs and Demonic and Angelic pok?mon (There may be one fakemon though...)
Officially announced BREAK evolution on Instagram and Twitter. I intend to release new info every week on the websites.
Also, Noivern BREAK!

Demonic Lopunny!

Progress Log:
Sorry for not updating in a while!
Finished BREAK Pokemon for the beta!
Almost finished Demonic/Angelic Pokemon for the beta!
I'm not sure end of September is a realistic release date anymore, unless I completely forget my personal life and Animal Crossing(though they're basically the same thing), so I'm aiming for early October, but I can't confirm that completely... I'll try though!

Demonic Alakazam
