Hello, and welcome to...
![[PokeCommunity.com] Pokémon Abyss - Developer Applications Open!](https://data.pokecommunity.com/attachments/90/90509-af23fd9d6cdecf0315cbec97b2443ec1.jpg "[PokeCommunity.com] Pokémon Abyss - Developer Applications Open!")
Our Concept!
Welcome to the Pokémon Abyss Project, or Project Abyss for short - A prospective Fan Game which has been inspired by titles such as Pokémon Reborn, Pokémon Rejuvenation, and the Lost television series. The Pokémon Abyss Project aims to tackle a unique niche in the RPG genre as a whole with a peculiar setting: surviving a crash landing in the region of Espira, which for months has gone dark with their communications, all attempts to contact or investigate them resulting in yet another missing vessel or research team.
Espira is an ...odd... region with a tumultuous history behind its founding and resettlement. Strange events occur at seemingly random intervals; with recorded esoteric happenings including storms that mysteriously disable electronics, settlements appearing and disappearing as if they had never been, shifts in weather that result in the entire island undergoing changes in its geography and navigability, and thick fogs that coat the horizons - obscuring the island itself from approaching ships until it is far too late to divert course.
Even with the odds stacked against them, somehow a small selection of other regions have found a way to make their own fabulous vacation spots and business centers on this hostile stretch of land… at least the small parts of the island that do not outright refuse attempts of development.
Objective: Survive.
You play as the main character, a not-so-blank slate with just enough secrets and a history with history itself. Having crash landed on this island with your mother and the rest of the survivors, you find yourself driven by a hunger for discovery and a need to confirm what you saw: a massive, moth-like figure that split a passenger jet in twain as if waving a hand…
Meet incredibly deep characters, much more than their stereotypes and generalized assumptions, charming them into being your best friends… or pissing them off enough to have them actively work against you. How you interact with these folk will heavily impact how your story is written and who remains on your side when you face off against the island itself, at times.
Espira poses unique challenges to the player; where other regions would run you through a gauntlet of gyms and trainers, this strange island will test your skills of survival, your ability to work with others, and your overall constitution when faced with deadly and remorseless entities entirely hellbent on removing you from the equation.

The Forests, The Trees, and The... Zombies?
With over 170+ planned new Pokémon, you're sure to find your favorite new partners in the deep jungles, crystal caves, strangely pink ponds, or ancient ruins present in Espira. Each one crafted with love and a MUCH deeper lore than what is usual and expected for the Pokémon format.
Tired of plot convenient lakes and lines of obese men blocking your path for seemingly no reason? Allow yourself to engage Abyss' Unique Skill Tree Progression System in which not only the ways you traverse the lands and skies of Espira are a modular and improvable experience, but you can also gain unique bonuses to Training Pokemon, improve the stats and match-ups of your Favorite Types, and learn New Ways to overcome those pesky waterfalls, fellable trees, and rocky walls without the need for strange devices or an HM slave.
Encounter Cordian Events featuring Pokémon of the new Zombie type, strange creatures which seem to not be in full control of themselves - somehow influenced by an outside source. You'll also face trials from the local clans and the Pokémon Rangers geared towards proving your mettle and worth on this wild island, which only upon success will they allow you to pass through their settlements or grant you their boons.
This, and much more, will attempt to block your path of discovery in this brutal and challenging game.
Nothing is as it seems in this strange land, as the changes in the entirely revamped Weather System can, and will, entirely reshape the environments of Espira, opening new paths of exploration, progression, and encounters.
…Maybe the right mix of conditions could make something unique appear?
All of this and more are planned to be present in Pokémon Abyss, so join us while we raise this ambitious project from the dead!
