The game is free. It will not appear on any store ever. We are doing it as fan art, the same way you might see an illustrator do a drawing of Mario. Pokémon/Nintendo/GAMEFREAK have the right to send us a cease and desist at any point, but we do not ever wish to make a profit from this or damage their brand.

Pokémon: Phoenix Rising begins with a player’s intentions to go to University. Having a father who is a teacher in Trinta University, it stood to reason why our hero chose to attend it. The player is given a gift of their first Pokémon to make their way to Romanti Village. Professor Lotus happens to be a good friend of the family and was eager to see our hero get involved with Pokémon research and battling. The player will attend university and choose a discipline. Events differ depending on which discipline is chosen and the overall qualification the player receives will be relevant to it also. The career path the player graduates in will affect their overall gameplay and buffs.

 

During this you end up getting involved in the affairs of "Team Chance" who are led by a man claiming to be a descendant of the old tyrant King of the region. The High Oracle of the region has seen your performance in the University and your ability to yield Mega Evolution, so she enlists your help her and the other Oracles prevent Team Chance's goal of causing the "Phoenix Rising". This is a myth which involves resurrecting Ho-oh, who the self proclaimed heir to the throne (calls himself King) feels will recognise him for the ruler he believes he should be.

 

The player will be heavily wrapped up with the affairs of the region's Oracles, and this will incorporate a bulk of their motivation to travel the region completing quests.

Without spoiling anything, we have something in store for Ho-oh to make it a more interesting experience for players within the story. However it will be a little while before we officially reveal this. You're onto something though!

Ah, I completely relate! Right now we have no plans, but I can totally see how this would be useful. I was thinking of doing something like this where the game displays a flashback or journal log if you haven't played in a couple of days.

 

With that in mind, the player will have access to a journal which shows all current and completed quests. At the very least this would be useful!

1) The desire to see my ideas in a Pokémon game some day. I love the franchise, and always wanted to be a game developer. Skip forward a couple of years and I've learned so much and am still developing and playing Pokémon!

2) Sure will!

3) We're working on it, single player is our priority, but we want to get some multiplayer content out there for you guys come release, or not too far after.
