Introduction
What if the player worked for the region's evil team before eventually turning on them, instead of battling against them from the start?
This was an idea that eventually became Pokémon Willpower. While it is probable that other Fangames and Rom hacks might have a similar concept, this was my approach to it.
Pokémon Willpower was created by using the Pokémon Essentials v21.1 toolkit.
Backstory
The player and their childhood friend, Hazel, resorted to thievery due to living without a home during part of their childhood until they were taken in by Professor Beech, Senoden region's most reputable professor. In return for a place to live, They aided Professor Beech in his research, whether it was information on a Pokémon or an item such as the Master Ball. Several others who were helped by Professor Beech helped in his research too, while in exchange, they get to live in Merton Town, a location where there is no reason for any normal trainer to go to. The group that remained in Merton Town would eventually become publicly known as Team Promeno.
Hazel and the player's time there did not last forever though. Due to an accident in one of Professor Beech's laboratories, they grew more suspicious of him, eventually leaving Team Promeno and once again, relying on stealing to survive.
This did not last long however. In one of their thievery attempts, they were caught by the police, but they were saved by a familiar face. Professor Beech welcoming both of them back to Team Promeno. This is how our story starts.
Features
-283 Pokémon Available
-Mega Evolutions
-No Trade Evolutions
-Buffed Pokémon (A few of these were inspired by the likes of Inclement Emerald and Radical Red)
-A few New Moves
-3 Rivals
-Unlimited use TMs
-No HMs Needed
-Early access to important items and NPCs (Move Reminder, Nature Mints, Ability Capsule/Patch available as early as before gym 2)
Also, while not in the game itself, there's a documentation inside the game folder with all kind of information like Pokémon Locations and Main Character Teams.
Progress Report
All 8 gyms, the Pokémon League and Postgame Battles are finished. So what's missing? Hopefully nothing, but it's possible there are still some bugs and typos I missed, in which case, this would not be the final version of the game.
