AS OF THE 5TH OF AUGUST 2023, THE PROJECT HAS BEEN ARCHIVED.
The Story:
One night, you start to have a strange dream. You're walking up an unstable staircase, but...you can see glimpses. Glimpses of what may be. At the end of the stairway, you meet a man calling himself Professor Kanzan.
A Pokémon Professor.
It's your first interaction with the world of Pokémon, and it won't be your last. Your journey begins the next day as you find a doorway in the middle of your local glade.
You're tasked by the door's resident to find the scattered Axis items, the source of its power...Your goal is clear.
Welcome to the Azarium region, where people are disappearing, Pokémon are attacking the local populace, and a sinister force called Team Void lurks in the shadows...but are they the true threat?

Features:
- Level caps based on number of badges (7/14 badges in v3.1 for cap of 55)!
- Autosave button(F8) and fast forward button(Alt)!
- A large selection of Pokémon to obtain, now with a Trade Cable item for those pesky trade evolutions!
- Overworld encounters!
- Pokémon have Birthsigns that can grant various effects!
- A new, never before seen catchable Celestial Boss will be available. (Be warned, though, it's very strong. Save before you attempt it!)
- Sidequests that help flesh out the Azarium region!
- Your choices matter, and now have quite the impact...

Note from the developer:
Hi, Mashirosakura here! So, Pokémon Axis first released in March of 2017. Which is, uh, quite a long time ago, now that I think about it.
The game has evolved quite like the Pokémon within; sometimes to huge extents, sometimes in other, smaller ways.
At the start, I was just messing around with RPGMaker and Essentials, just breezing through the map-making and making a slightly half-assed story. And then it happened: the great bug purge of v2. Man, what a mess. And that honestly made me rethink how I was going about the whole game making process.
So progress on v3 started. I redid everything, the maps, the Pokédex, and most importantly the story. Now the story, honestly, hasn't gone through nearly as many changes as you'd think. The dialogue was mostly rewritten, but the events are for the most part the same as v2.
The update came out, there were a few bugs to start, and then the game slowly just stopped being checked. Sure, we had a Discord, and I was fixing small bugs, but for the most part I was just focused on slowly going through the rest of the leftover events from v2 that had to be remade for v3.1.
And then October 2019 happened. A fair few Youtubers had played the game before then, but this one blew it up. The Discord was flooded, I was getting bug reports left right and centre: it was pretty overwhelming for one guy just making a game at his own pace. Thankfully this flood sent a bunch of testers and even a fellow dev to help out. Hopefully, this shows in v3.1.
I also do have a Discord server you can join if you'd like!

well lets update this bug report any of the starter crash the game
Can I see the error message?

EDIT: Ok actually I've found the issue and I've issued a temporary fix which can be obtained HERE. To apply this fix either extract this into the game folder or drag the extracted files into the folder. Yes you have to override them. Normally this should fix the issue.

v3.0.3 has arrived. I've updated the post with the new download link. Unlike previous patches, this is a full reupload.
As a warning, I have to say that Gift Pokémon do not work, and I'll try to fix them for the next patch. Until then, avoid these following gift Pokémon:
The Litten on Route 1, the Rockruff in Imogi Gym, the egg in the Selinus Dream State and the trade for a Ralts in Ikuchi Town.
A small bug that also occurs with the Item Drop script (which is harmless dw) is that a message box pops up saying you've dropped your item when your Pokémon is knocked out. It isn't actually gone, it's still holding it.

Finally, I've added a changelog to the folder, so you can see what's changed and on which patch.

EDIT: Added two mini patches in, fixing a few more bugs, and fixing Gift Pokémon finally. Have fun with 5 new Pokémon!
First post updated.

v3.0.3.3 patch: another small one, but it's a game progression one so it's necessary. People are really good at finding these I guess. You can download the patch here.

v3.0.6.5 patch is now available, it's an add-on patch to the main file, so download that one then add the contents of this to that.
Fixes a few more issues. Would like to ask if anyone finds any tile priority issues, that they can tell me about them. Thanks again!

v3.0.7 has arrived. It fixes a few minor bugs, and compiles everything together so we don't need to patch.
I've also removed the v2 link, as people have clicked it by mistake in the past, and I think we don't need it anymore.

EDIT: v3.0.7.6 (patch) is here with a few more bug fixes.

v3.0.8, the Halloween update is now available. Using the new Password System found in Pokémon Centres, you can get a special gift in the month of October. See below.
136225 is the password for this event. It will give you a Murkrow with its hidden ability Prankster and the two egg moves Perish Song and Screech.

EDIT: v3.0.8.1 is now out. It fixes Rockruff not being able to become Dusk form, an update to the password system, and a few minor changes around Selinus.

v3.0.8.6, also known as the "I Nerfed Rai Into Oblivion" patch (INRIO for short) is now live. A few small bug fixes, a missing sprite added.
Today, Oct 31st, is the last day for the Halloween event, so pick up your Pokémon from the Password System located in any Pokémon Center before November 1st. 136225 is the code, again. Have fun!
