Pokémon Predator & Prey

Pokémon Predator and Prey is a fan game set in the Pokémon universe created in conjuncture between Nintendo, Game Freak Inc and Lunatic Entertainment. Unlike most other Pokémon games, these games follows a darker, though not necessarily gritty, storyline. Several new and unique features are introduced in these two games.
The game's main attraction was the idea of Pokémon consuming one another, but the secondary feature was various subspecies of existing Pokémon. However, with the release of Pokémon Sun & Moon and the Alola Forms, Predator & Prey went into hiatus status. Three other features included new evolutions for "orphaned" lineages such as Farfetch'd (though it is no longer orphaned as of the release of Sword & Shield), an attempt to cover all type combinations that had not yet been touched upon by other Generations and the use of scrapped Pokémon that never made it into the games.

==Unique features==
New to the game is that the games follow 2 non-conflicting related storylines, with each game following a similar path of two individuals attempting to accomplish the same overall goals. This allows a player who plays one game to more readily be willing to access the other to fully tell the complete storyline.
The game also introduces a new nation, which currently remains unnamed. In this region the usage of Pokémon is more controversial than in other locations, and protesters can be seen picketing here and there, primarily in major cities. The region also allows Pokémon to follow their natural dietary instincts, and having one's Pokémon eat wild Pokémon is neither illegal nor uncommon. If the player's Pokémon is battling against the correct type of Pokémon (not necessarily battle types but more specific such as types of insects or plants) than they have an option once the opponent has been weakened to eat the opponent (for predator Pokémon) or kill their predator (for prey Pokémon). Doing so will give the Pokémon stat increases, or in the case of predators will recover health. Instead, prey killing their foe won't increase health but they can instead graze in grass and tall grass. Canonical Pokémon who have had descriptions indicating their meal preferences will remain true to these revelations.
The two games also feature different starters, with Predator featuring three predator Pokémon starters, and Prey featuring three prey starters.
==Development==
Initial conceptual development for Predator & Prey started not long after the release of Pokmon Emerald Version on the Game Boy Advance -- roughly around June 2005. The game was always a "backburner game idea" for Lunatic Entertainment, though several factors were quickly decided upon:
*Pokmon would be able to eat each other, not only because they are effectively animals and it'd make for an interesting mechanic, but certain Pokémon already had Pokédexes that referred to their predating upon others, such as Pidgey feeding on Caterpies.
*Due to game director Thor Steinbach's background in biology, the idea of subspecies were brought into play. These would be the same Pokémon you would know in terms of stats but their physiology would be altered slightly to show regional variance. This was intended also as a sensible "next step" in showing the evolution of these mystical creatures. When Alola Forms were introduced with Pokémon Sun & Moon 11 years later, this concept was temporarily dropped to not appear to be copying the concept, but was later brought back as it was a "favorite" feature of the director's and he wanted it to still appear in the game whether it seemed copied or not.
*Several Generation 1 Pokémon would be given evolutions, as Steinbach always found these Pokémon to be "disappointing". This was centered around Farfetch'd, despite knowing that this sort of ruined the in-joke behind that Pokémon's existence.
===Scrapped Pokémon===
Like some official games released before it, Predator & Prey had a few Pokémon currently cut during development for various reasons. These include:
*A "Scrubbing Bubble" Bug Pokémon that had appeared in the manga, for the sake of not knowing which route to evolve it.
*The removal of several formerly cut Pokémon initially planned to appear, including the "Unnamed Sheep", the Beta version of Hoppip, the Raikou/Suicune hybrid, as well as the Beta design for Treecko and Groudon. These were all removed for the sake of having more original Pokémon to fill the Pokédex without extending the game's roster too much, having the intent of returning the game in some fashion to its roots with smaller numbers of creatures to collect. They are still held on the sidelines though, with the idea of bringing them back into the roster should the Pokédex numbers get extended.
*The removal of an original lineage of Poison Types based on the idea of royalty combined with nuclear power plants. This consisted of a possible pre-evolution that had gone unnamed (though considered to likely be based and named in some manner after Three Mile Island), followed by a Russian-themed one named Chernoble, and finally a Japanese-themed one named Fukushogan. These were ultimately scrapped before announcement due to the painful memories it may bring back to some survivors of the disasters, especially Fukushima.
