Pokémon GCL Version

GCL Version

GCL Version is a fan project being worked on by the staff of Glitch City Labs. It is a pokemon game built from the ground up, and is currently VERY unfinished. As in not being worked on.

Gameplay

It's a pokemon game. DRAW YOUR OWN CONCLUSIONS.

Except for, y'know, the Glitches. They cause a bit of a change.

The specifics are yet to be set down, but the effects of Superglitch are NOT going to be like they really were (Game-breaking). Instead, they'll be more like status effects. Unpredictable, devastating status effects, but nevertheless, they can be cured.

Story

As the story develops, this will be expanded.

The Legendary Wars

Several years before the start of the game, the world of Pokemon suddenly became a dangerous place. After several economic depressions and a cataclysmic earthquake that seperated the countries Kanto and Johto by a new sea, the relationships become understandably strained. When a freighter, determined to cross the border, bulled towards a Johto cruiser at high speeds, it was blown out of the water as the crew panicked. The resulting chain of events set off a massive war, essentially a brawl of countries as all continents battled for control. Near the end of the war, the countries began using the famed Legendary Pokemon, possessing of awesome power, as WMDs. The resulting absolute worldrape convinced them that peace was needed. A treaty was formed- The Allied Continents was born.

Heiko

One island, a province of Kanto called Heiko, was spared. It grew in population as the economy recovered. This is where the game begins.

The Glitch World and Glitches

Shortly into the game (Heiko isn't too large) you find the Glitch World, a terrifying realm of data and monsters called Glitches, which serve as a more unconventional Pokemon. The hostile environment is attempting to be settled by the Allied Continents, who tout it as the Next Frontier, and charge high fees to enter it. The death-to-entrance rate is 1:3, for now.

Characters

INCOMPLETE LIST

The Protagonist: The main character. As usual, they're probably a silent protagonist, and they are good friends with the 'Professor', Professor Yew.

Yew: The person who gives you your pokemon. Also plays a larger role in the story then most do.

Jacred: Leader of an army hailing from the Glitch World, they are trying to take control of everything. Made up of the misfits and criminals of the older times, they have willingly sacrificed their bodies and sometimes even minds to strike back at what they see as an opressive regime. Jacred himself has other motivations, but what they are remain to be seen...
