>>56454779Only ever lurked but I wanted to share this idea from my younger, more dreamy years, specially since it was a bit of a start to my writing career I have been running for years now, even if it never got made. Me and my sister were coming up with ideas for a new pokemon fangame when we were like 14-15, I wrote a entire amateurish script draft.
It would be a pokemon prequel set around the 1920s, in Unova, originally we wanted it to be Wild West themed but I walked back on it. It would be a noir detective-like full course adventure that dabbled with crime and mafias in NYC, and would be about how the first and oldest pokemon league was forged in Unova. Pokemon fighting was considered a retarded mudsport like chicken fights, and pokemon were mostly used for all types of labor. The fangame's plot revolves around a detective consistently trying to get a hint on a pokemon mafia's operations just to find out all their meddling was in a attempt to lead the new city planner into finding Zekrom, since they got paid by him. He has a new idea to turn the entirety of Unova into the biggest shiniest metropolis in the whole world, that just happens to evolve attempting to enslave a legendary pokemon for all he's worth for brand new electric advancements. My sister came up with all types of crafty and fun designs back them but they slowly got lost to time, albeit I have them in my memory and she wants to redraw them. I only remember some of the characters like the main mobsters, some Nikola Tesla inspired schizo guy, a jazz singer who only had pokemon behind the stage doing her whole act becauuse she never could sing and a raging Rotom who would constantly try to assault the MC in various types of electric equipment as a bit of a pseudo rival.
Sorry if this sounds like nonsense, im kinda drinking rn and thought this would be cool to post, if yall want more info just ask me.
