[Developing] Pokémon Umbra

[buttjuice]

Made by:
@Invatorzen, @PickyPixelArtist, @Sapphire, @Jerry
@Adar, @Rhyden, @Sleep, @Omega, @LuxDiablo
@Antiant, @Squip, Sniper, & Rpaar

Made using PSDK

The story:

The player comes from a family of successful trainers - two of your cousins, Martin and Mariana, have high positions in the Vereshad region. Martin being one of the region's gym leaders and Mariana being the champion, your parents would often compare you to them. Finally deciding it's time to become a trainer and prove yourself, you meet with the new temporary Professor, Professor Sakura, to get your starter Pokémon and begin your journey. While there you meet with your childhood friend Damien and someone entirely new to this region, Eva!





During your adventure you'll learn more about your friends, but more importantly you'll be learning more about the region and it's rich lore. How did Vereshad become this melting-pot of culture? Where is the original Professor - Professor Ilex? Why is Sakura sitting in for Ilex? Who is Team Radiance? What is their motive?


Who is the legendary Pokémon, and what is it's power?

Unique starters:

During your journey in the Vereshad Region you'll be aided by one of three Pokémon that Professor Sakura has brought back from her journeys as a researcher.
These three are known as the Psychic-type Psypole, Fighting-type Boxeroo, and Dark-type Seijitsu! All coming from their own unique regions.

Which will you pick?

This will become the best pokemon fangame there is.
They put so much care into it already for years and the results show.
