Hey! I'm Boredom, The Niche as soon as I figure out how to change my username, but anyway.
Pokemon: Elemental War III
Don't get confused by the title. This'll be the first title in the series, if series it will be. The three is just representative of the fact that it is the third Elemental War.
Background:
Three years after Emerald, Archie had a sudden change of heart. No one is entirely sure what caused it. Archie figured out that there was only one person in the world who could stop him: Brendan. He waited until Brendan left Hoenn to visit his friends Dawn and Lucas in Sinnoh. Then he stormed Mt. Pyre in a wave of blue and seized the Blue Orb. However, he noticed that the Red Orb was already gone. In its place was a note from Maxie, scolding him for breaking his promise.
Kyogre was reluctant, but Archie had the Blue Orb, so she was forced to respond to him. The entire world was flooded as the skies opened up and cried out their sorrows. Maxie was caught and frozen, but he tricked Archie into freezing him together with the Red Orb. Groudon was imprisoned in the centre of the world, under a mountain of rock. However, Groudon was left with just enough power to keep the region where he was being kept above sea level.
Now, seventeen years later, there's only one region left above the watermark. This region is the house of Groudon, Plusia. Although it was never noticed before, it is now the congregation point for all the best trainers in the world. This is where the Earth revolution is based.
Plot:
Brendan's about twenty three years old and he needs a new pair of shoes rather badly. Where our story begins, he's meeting with Arceus at the very gates of heaven. Because life just isn't that easy, Arceus rejects him. Brendan and his torchic, Razablaze, are teleported to the inside of a pelipper, which takes them home.
They return home to the Millhead "mining" outpost, where the revolution is based, under the protection of Mt. Ares, Entei and Moltres. Brendan is greeted by the "hats", the leaders of the outpost, who Brendan despises with every fibre of his body. They order him to return a charizard to prof. Ash (yep. Ash.). When Brendan is there, he pits Razablaze against a pokemon that Ash discovered. While they're fighting, Brendan is suddenly kidnapped by the Water faction.
Razablaze is joined by Charzo, a child of Ash's charizard. The duo venture deeper into Mt. Ares where he meets Phloj, a cyndaquil who tells him that the kidnapper is long gone and guides them to Entei. There, Entei requests that they wake up Groudon and the world moves towards war once more...
Characters:
Brendan
Species: Human
Race: Hoenneese? I don't know.
Age: 33
Height: 6' 7"
Eyes: Purple
He really isn't that important
Razablaze
Species: Torchic
Race: Tundra
Age: 15
Height: Small.
Eyes: Yellow.
Razablaze is our hero. He's full of himself and utterly insane. Brendan met him while exploring the tundra of Plusia. They've been friends ever since.
Charzo
Species: Charmander
Race: Beach
Age: 13
Height: Small
Eyes: Turquoise
He's violent, approaching sadistic, but he's not in it for the killing, just the fighting. He's the clown of the bunch when he's not scratching the hell out of something and he's always willing to make someone smile. Or stop them smiling for good.
Mira
Species: Mudkip
Race: Bog
Age: 14
Height: Small
Eyes: Blue
Mira is the shifty one in the crew. She's got a past that no one really wants to know about and she's perfectly willing to rob the entire crew blind. Except perhaps Razablaze, but she'd rather you didn't talk about that, ok?
Shellshock
Species: Squirtle
Race: Lake
Age: 15
Height: Small
Eyes: Green
Shellshock is extremely resourceful, if slightly reckless. She's committed to removing Kyogre's hold over water pokemon by any means necessary and if you think you can get in her way, I bid you good luck. She's more than capable of bringing out Charzo's soft side, which he consistently tells Razablaze he's not happy about.
And there you have it. The four most important characters and an extra one who I stuck in for the laugh.
EDIT: Because I'm nice, you guys get to learn about a few other characters.
Lucifer
Species: Riolu (Lucario)
Race: Cave
Height: Tall
Eyes: Yellow
Lucifer isn't someone you should piss off. He's one of two people who have ever managed to hold their own while fighting against Razablaze. When he isn't sticking the spikes on his hands into someone, he's usually drunk. Or with Tate, but when he's with her it's usually because she's beating him to a pulp without even blinking. ("Raz, my head hurts!" "That's what you get for having a psychic girlfriend,"
)
Tate
Species: Meditite (Medicham)
Race: Dark
Height Medium
Eyes: No one's sure, they're always closed.
Tate is the worst person in the world for mood swings. rub her up wrong way and she will first beat you to a fine gooey powder, then drive you insane WITH HER MIND!!
Features:
Blizz ABS (Sparkle sparkle!)
Blizz's bestiary and time system. I'm probably gonna add in some more scripts if I find ones that are useful. Or if I get a scripter.
F*ckloads of cool scripts that make it epic! I realise now that games are story driven.
Layered villains, for the first time ever in a pokemon game! Actually, I'm not too sure about fan games.
Pokemon becoming believable instead of the dumb animals they were previously!
Individual pokemon species have different races now, just like actual animals!
A few more pokemon, depending on how good at spriting I can get.
Edit: Systems:
Psionics system allows multiple solutions to puzzles and enemies.
Movement system allows for accessing areas through unconventional means (sliding on vines, anyone?)
Player owned house that can be used to endlessly customise the party, as well as train and several other niceties.
Right, well naturally, the game is way way away from its omega stage. Anyone who'd like to help, there's room enough for all of you! =)
The world map
The first map, where Brendan converses with Arceus (Director: ARCEUS! FACE THE F*CKING AUDIENCE!!!)
Subsequent montage with Brendan and Razablaze in an ocean pelipper. If I can get a spriter, I'm gonna smooth out my enlarged sprites.
The outpost dormitory
The outpost kitchen
The outpost meeting room
And at last, somewhere outside the outpost. Literally, in fact. Millhead
Finally, I'd like to show you two of the new pokemon, cottofly and serpulus. It's typing is: sky. Serpulus is dragon.
Sayonara!
