[Developing] Pokemon Genetic Version [RECENTLY BEGUN, TEAM MEMBERS WELCOME]

[Dionysus-Lion]

PROJECT ON HIATUS INDEFINITELY AS OF 6-11-2016​

Unfortunately, due to being super busy with other commitments, I'm putting this project on hiatus. I will definitely recommence it as soon as I have some time off.

STORY​

Ever wondered what it would have been like to push the limits of science and ethics, all in the name of the harrowing scientific enterprise that was the creation of Mewtwo? Ever wish you could have been the one to have first sighted Mew on that fateful expedition? Ever wanted to try a completely different kind of Pokemon story?

Pokemon Genetic Version is a game centring around Mewtwo's creation, and subsequent events leading up to Pokemon Red/Blue/Yellow. You play as a scientist on Dr. Fuji's elite team, a young but well-respected Pokemon researcher. Your task is simple: negotiate with the local people (and Pokemon) of the jungle, capture Mew, and participate in the cloning of Mew to produce Mewtwo.

Fuji's client has other ideas, and your team is pushed to make more and more extreme modifications to Mewtwo. Everything goes horribly wrong, and Mewtwo's vicious nature forms the catalyst for disaster after disaster.

This game is being created using RPG Maker XP, and the Pokemon Essentials kit v16.2

FEATURES​

Spoiler:

• A whole new Guyana-inspired region, as well as
  [*]Lots of action in the Kanto Region, particularly inside lavishly furnished pre-destruction Cinnabar Pokemon Mansion, the birthplace of Mewtwo
  [*]Pokemon from Generations I-VI (perhaps VII)
  [*]Custom graphics
  [*]Custom music (I am a composer/musician by trade)
  [*]Choose from Charizardtwo, Blastoisetwo and Venusaurtwo (similar to those seen in Mewtwo Strikes Back) to aid you in your final battle against Mewtwo
  [*]A fast-paced, story-driven plot
  [*]Battles with other scientists and indigenous elders/leaders in lieu of a Gym-style storyline
  [*]Psychic/Poison/Bug Starter Pokemon
  [*]"Easter Egg" Pokemon such as Feraligatr, Typhlosion, Meganium and more
  [*]A game for all ages, but with a particular appeal to older Pokemon fans, with a clear hark back to Gen I
  [*]More to come

CURRENT PROGRESS​

Spoiler:

Looking for team members! Progress is coming along nicely, however I am currently a one-man-band.
At present, the game exists in the form of some RMXP maps, some custom sprites and tiles, some custom music, and a very big Word document detailing the entire story and events.

WANT TO HELP?​

Your help would be so welcome on this project. I'd be grateful for the assistance of anyone with literally anything to contribute. While I'm quite artistically inclined, sprite/tile-making is quite new to me, and I would love some contribution to the graphics, to make this game as aesthetically memorable as possible. Drop me a PM and include a link to your previous work!

Ooh. This is a neat concept. And your spritework is nice.
Frankly I'd love to help you but I'm working on a game of my own and even then I don't have too much free time.

Awesome music and sprites! With a good development of the story, this can be a great project

I really like the idea of this game!
And the new (younger) Oak Sprite is my favourite :D
Keep up good work! xD
