Welcome to the Marden region!
The Marden region is a popular tourist destination. A lot of people travel to the region, ranging from people who aren’t trainers to people who are powerful trainers from across the globe. Maybe you’re going to be familiar with some of the tourists already?
You’ve grown up in the small town by the name of Waterlil Lake, which has been thriving due to rich travelers renting vacation homes and yachts to take on the lake. However, due to competition from other cities that are more accessible, the tourism flow into the town has been slowly declining. One of the richer residents had an idea to help with the town’s economy, and that plan involves you starting your Pokรฉmon journey. How will your journey help Waterlil Lake? Are you going to be able to save your small town’s economy?
Features:
Completely new and unique story:
The server takes place in the Marden region, a new custom region based on tourism, with its own unique story. Explore a brand new place, with a lot of similarities to a new Pokรฉmon game.
Difficulties:
Perhaps, you’ve played through every main game of the series, and at this point, you find the journey too easy? Do not worry! We have someone who’s qualified for the Pokรฉmon World Championships multiple times working on the trainers, making them a good challenge for experienced players! Perhaps that sounds too intimidating to you, and simply want to enjoy the game without having to struggle too much? That is not a problem either, as the trainers’ difficulty can be changed at any time!
Music system overhaul:
One of the things that make the Pokรฉmon games so immersive is their use of music. Like other servers have done before, we’ve put music that changes based on which areas you’re in. Each route and town has their own unique theme! However weโre not satisfied with implementing something as good as other servers, so the music system has been pushed even further! Battles are also going to have their own themes, with different themes for trainer and wild battles. You might even see more music transitions that are normally seen in the Pokรฉmon games, but aren’t seen in Pixelmon servers.
Customization items:
Have you ever wanted to wear a Ludicolo hat? No? Perhaps you’ve always wanted a Shaymin on your shoulder! Even if you’ve never wanted either, there’s probably something that you’ve always wanted to wear that’s on the server, since with the use of the Armourer’s Workshop mod, we can make just about anything a customizable item! Perhaps there’s something that you really want, but isn’t on the server? Feel free to create it if you’re able to! We’re completely open to taking item submissions from people and giving them access to them!
Pokรฉhelper:
The Pokรฉhelper is one of the useful features that are going to be able to help with your adventure a lot! Since a lot of the features on the server are unique to us, tutorials with how they work are included in it. Other neat functions include information on the different areas, and config options for features unique to the server!
Player and NPC gyms:
We believe that player gyms should be given tools to have a good chance to win against most trainers, as being too easy makes it boring for them. However, we also know that you might not be interested in waiting forever for a player leader to be online, or be stuck at Trainer leaders that are too hard in order to progress. To prevent those issues we will have NPC stand-ins available for both difficulties!
And more!
We’ve got 2 people experienced with programming working on the server, who are always adding new features to the Marden regionโs experience! Perhaps there’s something that you didn’t see on the list that you’d like to have implemented, or maybe something that isn’t in the games yet that might be fun, feel free to suggest it!
F.A.Q.
Why can’t I get on the server? It says it’s whitelisted!
Yes, do not worry. We are currently getting to our closed beta phase, and are now currently looking for beta testers! Feel free to apply for that here: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSceTgu2AIwRId3PyN9eikFTy3BrjhIzOmBiuwZkc5jPyqAziA/viewform
Is there any place where I can keep up with updates on the server?
Yes! We have a discord here: https://discord.gg/MFspkne and our website can be found down below. We will be posting weekly progress updates on the server on different things that are being worked on until the server releases.
Is there any way I can contribute to the server?
Yes! In several ways! As mentioned in the features section above, we have the Armourer’s Workshop mod on the server, and we’re always more than happy to take submissions from the community to add to the server! On top of that, we’re also looking for people who are able to make skins. We’re interested in having most of our trainer skins being custom, so we’ve got quite a list to tackle, and having people help us with that would be appreciated! If you’re interested, feel free to contact me on discord (JeanMarc#1252) and I’ll be happy to discuss where to go with this!
