Pokémon Iterum

[Rex Ciphra]

Produced using RPG Maker XP and Pokemon Essentials

Birth of this Project​

Spoiler:

A couple months ago, I stumbled across an article by Smosh about some of the best Pokémon fan games. I was curious and didn't really have much else on my plate so I decided to give some of them a shot. I became captivated by them and soon I had a folder full of fan made games. As I continued adding games to the collection, I began to notice that they all had a similar theme, something called RPG Maker and Pokémon Essentials. After a couple of hours of trying to figure out how those programs worked, Pokémon Iterum began its slow rise.

Plot​

A couple years after the downfall of Cipher in the Orre Region, a small group from the criminal organization hatched a new plot in the Vershia Region, using the knowledge about Shadow Pokémon from their predecessors. You, an agent from the International Police, are dispatched to the Vershia Region to stop these new criminals. You are able to smash through the ranks of the organization with your elite team and eventually confront the leader. Along the way, you happened to catch the attention of a young Celebi. However, not everything goes according to plan. In the aftermath, you must fix what went wrong, but it won't be easy.

Features​

Spoiler:

Currently still in very early stages so definitely not set in stone
No Pokédex - an international police won't have time to fill out an encyclopedia for some old professor, there's plenty of 10 year olds for that
P★DA - or something similar, I think it'd be pretty cool to have one device that shows your ID but can also be used for your own reference. (plan to include the "Pokédex", messages, region map, shadow Pokémon status, and possibly more)
IV/EV screen - accurate way to keep track of your Pokémon
All 721+ Pokemon obtainable - at my speed Gen 7 will be released before the end of this project so I'll probably add those when they become available
Vershia Region - completely new original region ... ok the trees might have been taken from Kanto but that's it I swear. Anyways, can't just completely be hellbent on avenging yourself, there'll be plenty to explore along the way.
16 Gyms- Not necessarily for the purpose of collecting badges, moreso for training your new team of weaker Pok

​

émon to be able to face your nemesis
Removal of HMs - personally not a big fan of them in the first place, I think its a waste to carry around HM *****s there will be TM versions of some, not all of them are terrible moves.
Overworld sprites will resemble the inbattle sprites, why should a woman with red hair in the overworld suddenly have blonde hair in the battle?

Stay tuned for more
