Welcome to TalixCon 21'''
 
<BR>
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Welcome to the tenth annual announcement event for TalixArts. It will showcase several new announcements for upcoming games, new ips, movies, and more. Similar to last year's event, everything will be covered under a single-day format.
Pokémon Arena Online
Pokémon Arena Online is the first reveal and a semi-reboot to the popular Pokémon Arena series. It is a combat massively multiplayer online role-playing game (MMORPG) a first for the series and a radical change from previous installments. Arena Online will set primarily in a massive land known as Battlefare Island. Battlefare Island will be the most expansive open world yet with room for expansion in future updates. Battlefare Island will host almost all 500+ Pokémon from every generational region and more. The island will also host ten arenas located in puzzle-like towns designed to test the players; players can team up with other players not just to fight but to help solve puzzles just to get to the arena. Players can interact with other players through the Switch Online/PC/NX2 as they explore the island and battle their way to become the Battlefare Island Champion. With the set goal of the game to collect and train pokemon, compete in various arena tournaments, and get the best rating to earn your ticket to the Grand Tournament.
The player can customize their trainer from head to toe in the most expansive create-a-trainer mode yet; with male/female various themed outfits, hair types and colors, eye types and colors, skin colors, size adjustments, to even age adjustments (child to teen to young adult to adult to elder); plus more customization including accessories. Along with that, there will be a rank progression tree where you can set your trainer in one of three different rank classes: the Meek class, the Heroic class, and the Infamous class. Choose one of the rank classes for your customized trainer and as your battle your way through the different battles, arenas, and etc. where your rank will evolve based on your selected class. Will your trainer be the tamest, the most bold, or the most feared. 
Along with that, once you collect your pokemon; there will be a skill progression tree for your pokemon where the different branches will unlock secret abilities and moves for your pokemon; including new moves like "Duo Strike" allowing two different pokemon to combine their powers into one single blast against your enemies. Another new move that can be unlocked is "Battle Fury". With Battle Fury, your selected pokemon's existing abilities will be enhanced five times increasing their agility and improving your chances to win the battle. Yet Battle Fury will have a gauge and if you use the Battle Fury quickly, the gauge will empty out and will disappear; the player can only use it once per battle. So strategy for which pokemon gets to use it, and when is the right time to use in battle is key in your player's ultimate quest to become the Battlefare Island Champion. 
Other features include the first time PokeBall customization. When you collect your pokemon in a pokeball, you can customize the pokeball uniquely for your pokemon or to differ from other players; with various color skin types, power type-skins, texture skins, and more. Another bonus is that you can share the customized pokeball to other players to use; upload and download various designs. Another feature key to the game will be Factions. If you like or dislike Team Rocket, Team Magma, and the other rival teams that are famous in past generations, your player can start or join a faction team based on your rank progressions and/or pokemon. Factions will not have a role in the Grand Tournament though can influence the other arena tournaments and side quests. There will also be side missions and puzzles specifically made for the factions to solve; teamwork is key. Another part of factions is due to the rank class, if your trainer is tamed, they can be loyal to fellow faction members; if your trainer is heroic, they can climb to leadership roles; if your trainer is feared, they can take the leadership by force or betray your faction and work with another.
The last feature that is very key to the game landscape and other games is the introduction of the PokeLocker. The PokeLocker is a unique storage feature where once you collect your pokemon, the pokemon will automatically be synced into the locker for access. And the brilliant part of the PokeLocker, it functions like a cloud drive and Pokedex at the same time; so in your existing Pokémon games (like Sun and Moon), pokemon that are native to those regions can be uploaded to those games; and you can use those same pokemon you collected in Arena Online and use them for battle in those generation games and vice versa.
Pokémon Arena Online will be released in June 2022 for Nintendo Switch, Switch Pro, Notus X2, and PC.

Pokémon Twilight and Starlight
Pokémon Twilight and Pokémon Starlight versions are the third TalixArts version based off the franchise. Twilight and Starlight will be set on the region of Lactea. The two versions will feature 150 new pokemon; unlike Arena Online where it will feature a extensive customization system for your trainer, the Twilight and Starlight versions will have a smaller customization one. Lactea will also be a wide open map and for the first time, will allow your trainer to aboard a spacecraft from the region's Professor Comet to journey to a space colony to find the elusive celestial pokemon: Twilon (Twilight), Stelix (Starlight), and other. 
The two versions will be similar to other previous generations; a customized day/night schedule; a return to the breeding system. There will be more in the near future, but the pokemon seen in these two versions can be stored in the PokeLocker and the pokemon you store can be added in Arena Online.
The Pokémon Twilight and Pokémon Starlight versions will be available for the Switch and NX2 Fall 2022.

The Legend of Zelda: Year of Fortuna
The Legend of Zelda: Year of Fortuna is the next entry and a semi-sequel to The Legend of Zelda: Nurule Guardian. Year of Fortuna will be set a few years after the events of Nurule Guardian.
After the Link defeated Favia aka the Nurule Guardian with the reluctant help from the Auric Fierce Deity, Link embarks on a journey to restore Hyrule to its former glory and must venture back to Nurule to locate the mysterious Fortuna. A ancient force that can reset time. As Link seek the Fortuna, he must battle a dangerous bounty hunter known as Bak while learning an ancient evil will return for revenge.
