Pokémon Reflection official topic
Hey there, it's Cyaloom!
So, I've been wanting to create my own Pokémon fangame for about two years, and Reborn has to be "blamed" for that. In fact, I'd just started playing Reborn at the time, and I used to get lost in Reborn City fairly easily. It was a lot bigger and diverse than any other settlement I'd seen in any Pokémon game. An entire Pokémon game might have been set there without too much trouble, I thought. At that point, many ideas came up into my mind regarding the story and the setting of the game. After coming up with many other contrasting ideas, trying to develop them, and playing other fangames like Rejuvenation and Desolation, I've settled on this: a game with Manaphy as a mascot, set mostly in one big city, and that is based on a new concept about what Pokémon really are.
what a mess

The new concept of Pokémon
A very interesting trait of all Pokémon is to fit inside a small Pokéball, and even be stored inside a Computer.
In the anime there is already a hint about this: Pokémon, in fact, get out of the Pokéball as some kind of "red energy" before turning into the actual Pokémon, and Pokéballs themselves have the inner side covered in mirrors, probably to keep the energy inside.
On the other hand, we have Porygon, a Pokémon created and programmed artificially - which supports the idea that Pokémon inside of a Computer are nothing more than data, like every other file, and can be edited from there.
Research projects about this are still in progress, but imagine the consequences after their completion: even the most new of trainers can catch a random Rattata in the wild and turn it into a top percentage Rattata just by messing with a computer, for example.
Story and setting
Azurine City's fame is increasing, and is now regarded in many places as the Trainers' heaven: a strong and recently revamped League, many research facilities and services for trainers, and an interesting history to back that up. But, in the clothes of a trainer from a faraway region seeking new challenges here, you’ll see that this place is not exactly like you’ve imagined. The government is being put to the test by some troublemakers, and dissent spreads among the people. But the more you know, the harder it’ll be to choose a side.
Characters
Objectives and features of the game
Like I said before, I'd like to focus on the plot rather than on additional features. But at the same time, features like seasons, different storylines, and dialogues would rise the replayability of this game - and that is another thing I'd love to have in this game.
Therefore...
