You awaken in front of a girl named Destiny, who claims to have found you unconscious in a nearby forest. Other than your own name, all of your memories seem to be lost. With no other options, you accompany Destiny to the Vanguard Academy, a school designed to transform novice Pokémon Trainers, into professionals with the goal of defending the region from threats known as Renegades, Pokémon Trainers who refuse to abide by the new laws set in place.
While attending the Vanguard Academy, you'll meet and befriend a variety of different characters!
Powerful and Professional Trainers will guide you through your journey!
Renegades and Rivals will stand in your way, overcome them and prove your worth!
Uncover Truths you would've previously thought impossible. This world is filled with mysteries that are more than meets the eye.

Thank you, I have all the maps and events completed up to the first gym just polishing up things such as Custom overworld sprites, Region map, Custom trainer sprites etc. I would expect a demo no later than 2 weeks from now but that could always change.

Very nice. I'm definitely gonna check this out.
Any plans to include the PBS files? I'm giving my own hand a shot at development and I've learned a lot from peeking through PBS files on other fangames and comparing how they do similar things.

Well if my opinion matters for anything, I'd suggest leaving them in. Locking it all down and hiding the information from others goes against the spirit of Essentials. It's open source and developers should be open to sharing things with others in the community, not hiding things away out of fear that other people might benefit from it.

Not worried about people being able to see the PBS files just worried about people having the ability to go in and change things around.

Why would that be an issue?

Changing things in the pbs files could screw with some things in the game which I guess wouldn't be a problem on my side but still just not entirely sure about it.

I'm not seeing how or why that would be a problem though. Giving the players that would like to modify the game to further their own enjoyment the ability to do so at their leisure could only be a net gain, I'd imagine. The few people who want to edit things or study them are free to do so and the people who are interested in playing the game are free to do so. I can't see any reason to cut off the people who would like to mess around with it except for petty authoritarianism.

A mysterious organization terrorizing the continent.
A government that almost refuses to anything about it.
Is this political commentary?
It's rare to see such a thing in a fangame and rarer still to see it done well, I'll have to keep a keen eye on this.

I've been working on it on the side a bit and also have been practically redesigning the game. Gonna try and release a version of the game before the month is over though but can't say for sure

I have updated the games thread as I've made decent progress on it. I would however appreciate some help when it comes to Character art and overworld sprites. If you are interested in helping me please contact me on discord @Ayrei#5764 or on pokecommunity :)
