I'm part of a fan-made game, pokemon scarlet version, which released it's first demo in July. The problem is, the number of members online has unfortunately started to decline, and we are worried that we won't get further unless we can get more actively posting members. Although it'd be nice to have more spriters ect, that isn't actually what we're after, we're just after more normal members.
Scarlet will have it's own URL sometime soon, with a main site ect. but for now we just have a zetaboards forum.

I'll edit some related stuff to the game later.

is this game ever going to be released.

Its not an official nintendo game, so no.
If you mean if the forum will release it, probably.

It's a fan made game, so as SH07 says, it's not going to be sold in shops or anything; it'll be downloadable and playable on the computer. But the demo has already been released; it's just off the site now because about a week ago ZetaBoards lost a load of files, including the past six months of posting.
