>>51649455Island has a lot of lore to it that explains why there's no town, why it's shaped like that. Play X/Y.
>>51649456Hoenn won't be release for about 6 more months. Kanto is much smaller in scope so we figured we'd do both and recreate the feelings of gen 3 coming out all over again.
Over 45 new pokemon in an reworked national dex.
Checkout the romhack Pokeluv which is a sort of pseudo prequel to this hack in terms of some of it's ideas, and the developer is one of the lead devs for this project.
I mostly play older RPGs and games with a strong focus on questing and worldbuilding. Other developers have backgrounds in tabletop. We're trying to add those elements to Pokemon because frankly the whole series is lacking. Check a bookshelf in the pokemon center and get told "There's some books here." is not world building, instead you might get more context about the town, a small story, a tip, etc.
