Pokémon Miracle [Updated November 24]


Recommended Posts

  • 3 weeks later...

It's been a while since the last update, hasn't it? Progress on Miracle has been going at a good pace, so the beta version will most likely be released around mid-to-late September.

I haven't talked much about the overall story even though Miracle is quite plot-heavy, so this update is pretty much about the game's lore and some foreshadowing. So, without further ado...

Atlas' deities

Atlas' most important myth is centered around four guardian deities that protect the region. They are the main mystery of the game and what the player character is initially supposed to research. The guardian deities are, respectively:

The embodiment of the sun, inhabiting the Solen Volcano in Atlas' northwest. Its domains include proactive behavior, foresight and scientific progress. As such, it has little regard for conservative behavior.

The avatar of the earth, residing in the opposite side of the region in the Gaia Temple. A very traditional god, it's associated with wisdom through hindsight, reactive behavior and protection of the region's culture.

The personification of the moon, dwelling deep within the Selene Lake in the region's southwest, close to the player character's hometown. Revered as a peacekeeper, its main traits include clarity of mind, empathy and flexibility.

The incarnation of the void, living in the depths of Umbra Island in Atlas' northeast. A mysterious, feared god, its domains include self-understanding, caution and protective behavior.

As it's your mission to study about Atlas' gods, you should look for someone who's informed about the subject. That's how the guardians enter the plot, of course. However, there are more people who research about them, each for their own purposes. The one who's the most accessible? Your senior, of course! Blake has been doing this for much longer than you, so he already knows lots of things about the region's legends. In fact, proving yourself to be a reliable workmate is the easiest way to bond with him. Proving yourself to be unreliable, though...

The guardians

Each deity has their own guardian, tasked with serving their god and passing down their knowledge through the generations. In a lot of ways, they're similar to priests and Lorekeepers. As the Atlas region became more and more militarized, they were given important political positions, though not all of them are Gym Leaders. The four guardians are central characters in Pokémon Miracle, so you'll hear about them quite often.

The evil team

While their identity is a spoiler, Miracle's evil team has already been foreshadowed. After all, Atlas's backstory involves a war that completely changed the region, right?

Time for a new character! She's not very important early on, but as the story progresses she steadily becomes more prominent. This may sound a little weird, but it's fairly easy to understand once you know what her role is.

Carina Mont'alverne

jzhln7w.png

Age: 31 (Born on August 9)

Ranking: Fighting-type Elite Four member

The Gym Leaders rule over the towns they reside in. However, since the number of leaders and the number of towns don't match up, some cities are governed by other members of the league. Carina used to be the Gym Leader of Cepheus City, but her promotion would leave the city unattended. So, as a way to get around this issue, she still resides in her old Gym as the unofficial leader.

Carina is a wise leader who looks out for those under her command. However, she's somewhat withdrawn and rarely interacts with people other than in a superficial level. While this earns her a reputation as a secluded, mystical sage, it also makes her very intimidating.

Along with Elite 4 members, you will also be able to see high-ranking trainers whose talent is recognized by the league and, as such, are regarded as Gym Leaders in training. The first five successors, ranked by their talent as both fighters and rulers, will be featured quite prominently in Pokémon Miracle, since all of them are main characters.

this sounds really good, specially some of the changes like the chikorita one, i like chikorita's looks, but it's set left something to be desired to it's kit, i think your changes might have nailed it, specially making it fairy.

61%! I should have included that on the main post a while ago, but now it's been taken care of.

This looks so awesome! The love the idea of the four gods and not to mention the new typings and changes to the normal Pokemon! If you ever need another tester I'd be happy to help.

Hello, everyone! It's time for a small update before the demo gets released. It was supposed to be finished around September, but some personal stuff got in the way. But, now that these issues have been mostly solved, let's get back to business!

V1 will feature 6 terrains. They should all be familiar, since 4 of them are based on the canon ones and the other two are based on common RPG scenarios. The last terrain might be a little spoilerish if you're not up to date on Sun/Moon content!

V1 Terrains (Small Generation 7 spoilers):

Electric Terrain

A rather basic terrain that benefits the Electric type. Electric moves are powered up and Pokémon on the ground can't fall asleep. Additionally, it powers up moves and abilities that involve magnetic fields.

Grassy Terrain

A terrain that benefits the Grass type. Grass moves are powered up and all Pokémon on the ground are healed by a small amount on the end of each turn.

Misty Terrain

A terrain that benefits the Fairy type. It weakens Dragon-type moves and protects all Pokémon from status. A very volatile terrain, it can be removed or transformed in many ways.

Forest

A terrain that benefits the Grass and Bug types. Moves belonging to these types, or associated with them, are powered up.

Water Surface

A terrain that benefits the Water type. Water moves are powered up and all grounded non-Water Pokémon without the ability Swift Swim have their speed halved. While very common in water routes, it's quite rare outside of them.

Psychic Terrain

The new addition from Gen 7 is a terrain that benefits the Psychic type. Along with powering up Psychic moves, it prevents priority moves from working.

If sprites have anything to say about how well-made a game is going to be, this game is going to be one of the best fan-made projects I've seen in a while. I'll gladly beta test if you still need people, and if you don't, I'll be excited to play when it's released!
