Pokémon Sage is an upcoming role-playing video game developed by members of the 4chan board /vp/. Sage is a fangame in the Pokémon game series with an entirely new region, plot, and cast of human characters and Fakemon.[1][2]
Gameplay
[edit]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
[edit]Pokémon Sage takes place in a fictional South American-inspired region called Urobos, with the player being named Simon or Sophia, depending on gender. Starting in a snow-covered mountain town, a cowboy-styled rival character named Ricardo steals a different, friendly rival's starter Pokémon and challenges the player to a battle.[3]
Development
[edit]The game's development began in 2012, 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.[citation needed] The working title was CAPX, which remains the namesake of the game's wiki.[4]
