I had a project I worked on for a bit to try and make a moddable Pokemon game. It started out as a desire to make a Pokemon game with all the regions but after I learned that all the fan games were made with RPG Maker (a $20 product (which can do more I know) to make a game that would have to be given away for free) I wanted my game to be able to do more. It would have a Region API and would ask you if you want to deposit your Pokemon into the PC when arriving at a new Region for the first time. I was making decent progress but then Pokemon Uranium was shut down, so I decided to stop working too. I didn't want to spend all that time on a passion project just to be sued by Nintendo. If they ever had a change of heart, I'd still like to do it, and keep the files to this day
