Pokémon Sage is an upcoming role-playing video game developed by members of the 4chan board /vp/. Sage is a fangame of the Pokémon game series with an entirely new region, plot, and cast of human characters and Pokémon creatures.[1][2][3]

Gameplay

Further information: Gameplay of Pokémon

Pokémon Sage's gameplay is standard for the Pokémon series. However, it includes an entirely new Pokédex. The Starter Pokémon are the avian Grass-type Foliat, the goat-like Fire-type Kidling, and the reptilian Water-type Aguade.

Setting and plot

Pokémon Sage takes place in a fictional region called Urobos. Like many official regions in the Pokémon series, Urobos is based on a real-life region: Central and South America. It features a conflict between two villainous teams based on real-life inhabitants of these areas throughout history, such as the Aztec Empire and the Spanish conquistadors. Despite the general warmth of these areas, the town the player starts in is covered in snow. The player, named either Simon or Sofia by default, has a friendly rival as well as a more acerbic rival who steals the friendly rival's starter Pokémon.[2]

Development

The game's development began in 2011, when a group of Pokémon fans from /vp/, a board on the website 4chan dedicated to Pokémon discussion, decided to collaborate on a fangame. Developed for computers running Microsoft Windows, it was created using the software RPG Maker with the aid of Pokémon Essentials, a set of scripts tailored to Pokémon gameplay. The development team has sought out help from outside sources, allowing submissions for concept art and in-game sprites. The working title was CAPX, which remains the namesake of the game's wiki.[4] The game's development has been lengthy and marked by internal disagreements; by June 2014, even the villainous team had not yet been chosen from a list of candidates.[2] A demo was released in 2014; it lasts for around two hours of gameplay and includes three towns and two caves, with a limited Pokédex of ten Pokémon.[2]
