[Developing] Pokemon Arcus

[MonadoXY7]

I'm MonadoXY7 and I would like to introduce a new fan game that I want to work on for the new year. I want to create a fun game that will mostly be an original fan game called Pokemon Arcus, with the version of Pokemon Essentials that I have downloaded before it got taken down by Nintendo and RPG Maker XP. I have no skills and barely any experience in making fan games but I'm willing to try. Pokemon Arcus will loosely follow Ash's story through the anime and movies with a new story (up to Gen 7 if possible) and include two new characters that I want to create named Dahak Almest and Alfina Vermillion.

Story: You play as Dahak/Alfina who was raised, while after being separated from your parents, by Marowak (you call her Mama Mara) and her Cubone child in the outskirts of Lavender Town (on Route 10) in the Kanto region where you spent your childhood growing up. Mama Marrow had to steal all sorts of food from the townsfolk to feed you since she did not know what human babies/kids eat when they're young. As you grow up alongside them, you begin to understand the language of Pokemon (just like N from Unova anime series) that live near Lavender town and you grow up learning about how they live in the wild, how they see the world, and what they think of humans. You also begin to speak the English language too.

Time has passed and it is the anniversary of the day you were adopted. You go to Route 8 to pick some flowers into a necklace as a present to Mama Mara for all she has done with Cubone. When done with playing with the Pokemon from Rock Tunnel after that, you see two Team Rocket grunts attempting to steal your mother's skull for money. You attempt to intervene and then a battle ensues. Mama Mara is badly injured from the fight and wants you and your Cubone sibling to escape. You argue but then dash away when you get the chance; just as soon as you enter the town, Mama Marrow's cry can be heard and you and Cubone saw it happen. You turn around and see Team Rocket pull Marowak skull from her head and faint in shock. Team Rocket gets away...

Later that night, both you and Cubone wake up in a Pokemon orphanage owned by Mr.Fuji in Lavender Town. He told you of what transpired near here and nursed you back to health. You rush to the scene of the crime only to be halted by a talking Arcanine who is working with a female trainer of an unknown organization. As the conversation evolves, you want to get revenge for what happened. To do that, you must become a full-fledged member of Team Delta: the organization bent on stopping all evil organizations from each region from doing their dastardly deeds. But first, you must gear up and get a new Pokemon from Professor Oak in Pallet Town and start your life as a new Pokemon Trainer.

The offer of a lifetime with revenge to boot gives Dahak/Alfina and Cubone a tale of Pokemon no one has ever seen before...

Planned features include:
A new story that loosely follows Ash's story from the anime and movies
Poke Comm
Multiple save slots
Gen 1 to Gen 5 Pokemon only

Not to mention the new features I've listed above. too The development of the story has already begun and the prologue and first chapter are completed.

Do I have to show proof that the game I'm working on has started development?

I will start development at the beginning of January 2020. Right now I am finishing up some beginning areas for the game.

I like the concept of the storyline. I understand your early is development, but do you have any art of the Dahak/Alfina or Team Delta?

 

[MonadoXY7]

I made some changes that I want a good team of creators to help out with on this thread. Do I need permission to have it bump up to gain attention?

I did some checking on Pokemon Essentials and I believe I was too ambitious about every region being in the game. I would like to wait until version 18 of Pokemon Essentials comes out so that Kalos and Alola can be added to the game. I will have to also fix the story I am writing in order to better reflect what all of up to Gen 5 has to offer in terms of everything that can be included. At the same time, every feature will still be implemented into Pokemon Arcus. If anyone sees this post, thank you for understanding.

Right now, there isn't any artwork for the characters right now unless someone with great experience in any art style or just Sugimori style can join my team permamently. Anybody who can help Zorua-Chan bring his drawings of any character for the game to life is welcome.

Now that I see that there are possibilities for Gen 6-8 features in the new Pokemon Essentials update, it's too early to say that Pokemon Arcus will have Megas in the story. Therefore, the Mega Evolution feature will be removed until further notice.
