Well after many years of watching projects on MODDB, I am finally able to make my own. A little bit about myself first, I'm a tertiary level student studying Information Technology, well-versed in programming in Java and C# (hence why I chose Unity as my engine for the game) with basic skills in Cinema 4D and Maya (that explains the crappy textures and models in the game).
As a big fan of Pokemon since young, I've always wanted a comparable experience that I could play on my mobile phone on the go. Given the nature of the controls for the game, there wouldn't be any compromise for the user experience. In addition, I've always wanted to play a true 3D Pokemon game. Hence I started on this project in January, and after 3 weeks of work this is my current prototype. (I actually started on this before Pokemon X and Y were announced)
The game is utilising the Unity Engine and currently works on iOS (and presumably Android though I do not have a device to test it). Currently the game has one building, one town to explore and one field to engage in battles.

Features to implement

- Gym Battles
- NPC Dialog

However as I am a full-time student, I do not have the time or means to make this project a reality. Hence I am looking for talented Modellers, Texturers, Level Designers and Programmers to assist me in making this project a reality.
