Pokémon Fuchsia



Pokémon Fuchsia (Japanese: Pocket Monsters Fuchsia) is a soft reboot of the Pokémon series, developed by TimeStrike and directed by its president Athena Panacea. It is the first entry of Generation Alpha and was released for The V² on November 21st, 2024 for both retail sale and download. Fuchsia reinvents the series from the ground up, completely reshaping the core gameplay and overhauling the formula.

Changes
This section is temporary while I finalize the game concepts.

Gameplay

 * Battles now occur in real-time, meaning there's no slouching.
 * Double- and triple- battles are more frequent than before, and rotation battles are sometimes in play.
 * Each Pokémon now has up to six moves they can use.
 * No moves are permanently forgotten, and you can swap around which moves a Pokémon has.
 * Likewise, Pokémon can now learn alternative abilities through a tutor and you can have more than one enabled.
 * You now partake in trainer battles by talking to them.
 * However, if you're caught by the eyes of the villain team grunts, you are forced to defend yourself.
 * Trainers routinely switch in and out through night and day, showcasing they actually have lives.
 * Legendaries can no longer be caught, serving as boss fights instead. As such, they are not registered by the Pokédex as normal Pokémon and are registered as "special Pokémon".
 * Every Pokémon that is the final stage of an evolutionary line or is the only one in its line has a Mega Evolution.
 * Z-Moves and Gigantamaxing do not return.

Story

 * Your main player character is an adult, and you can customize them with clothes and the like.
 * You start off as a member of the game's evil organization, and make friends there you'll meet later on. The game's main antagonist teaches you how to use your Pokémon. By being a member of this organization, your reputation is damaged.
 * The authorities will attempt to catch you, so you'll need to slip out of their sight as much as possible.
 * As you eventually betray your organization, you'll need to watch out for them too.
 * Luckily, you can use specific outfits and change up the way you look to hide yourself from capture and participate in town events and trainer battles without raising eyebrows.
 * Gym leaders have been replaced with Temple Guardians, which don't specialize in types but instead abilities and strategies, requiring you to come up with some sort of strategy against them.
 * Upon their defeat, you receive a badge-like stamp to your ID card that allows you to access new, stricter areas of the region. You're locked from further exploration from time to time because of the authorities attempting to be protective of their citizens.
 * You won't always be having to do things the way you're supposed to; sometimes you'll be able to access new areas of the region without beating specific Temple Guardians, but you'' need to keep yourself low.
 * You receive a single starter Pokémon, a Normal-type lab rat Pokémon. You can evolve it into a Fighting-type, a Poison-type, a Psychic-type, or a Rock-type dependent on the tag item you give it. Each of these forms can evolve into another Pokémon with an added dual-typing.
 * These tags can be purchased from a special store in one of the game's earlier towns, typically around the time this Pokémon is expected to evolve.
 * Inspired by Tesserat or whats-its-name from Exotoro's Pokémon project on Fantendo.

Region

 * Inspired largely by Greece and split into individual islands, which you can bike to and from via bridges.
 * The Pokémon in this region are largely inspired by Greece's animals, myths, and culture.

More TBA.

Trivia

 * This is the first core series Pokémon game to be developed exclusively in the United States, with little involvement from The Pokémon Company (or Game Freak) for that matter.
