Story:
If you've lived in Scarabia your whole life, as I have, then you know about the monumental changes that came about four years ago. Before then, the government was terrible, cruel. Corrupt. The government enjoyed hunting down people it branded "exiles". Blaming the problems of society on them, publicly ridiculing and mocking them, capturing and torturing them, slaughtering them.
The worst part is that most exiles had done no wrong to earn the status. If one man commited a crime against the government, he would be branded as an exile. All the male members of his family would be branded and exiled as well. Don't ask me why- but it's been that way for hundreds of years.
Until four years ago...
Summary:
Currently a very early view at the game, but still worth a look. It features custom graphics, a custom battle system and much more!
The battle system was relatively easy to figure out, but still provided a few minutes of entertainment.
However since it is a very early version (made for SandGolem's Weekend RMXP Contest, as stated in-game) I can't rate it as such and have therefor decided not to.

Avatar: How long have you been developing games?
Firemaker: Since January 2005
Avatar: What program (or language) are you using to make your game?
Firemaker: Pokemon XP. I’m not sure if it will come out though
Avatar: Could you tell us a little about the planned features?
Firemaker: The features are mostly like a regular Pokemon game.
Avatar: What do you think makes the game unique?
Firemaker: I will not give up on this game as everyone else does
Avatar: Any estimate of the progress on the game?
Firemaker: About 1%. The mapping program isn’t out yet so I can’t do that. So I can basically only make Pokemon.
Avatar: Any final remarks?
Firemaker: I need all the help that I can get. I will probably not turn down anybody as long as they have something to give.
Firemaker: You can visit my site here www.geocities.com/pokemon_trade_cards/phome.htm
