Hi there! After playing Radical Red about 500 times, I decided that I really wanted a similar game challenge wise but I had played too much Kanto. The only logical next step was to make my own game. So.... Welcome to Eire! A fully custom region based on Ireland. The game was made in RPG Maker with Pokemon Essentials v21. This was a solo project made over the course of 6 months, so shoutout to Thundaga for the amazing Essentials tutorials and ChatGPT for Ruby coding syntax.
🌍 A Brand-New Region
Explore Eire, a completely original region inspired by Ireland - towns, routes, myths, and landscapes.
A custom story with new teams, characters, and challenges.
📖 Story
I wanted Pokémon Eire to follow the classic Pokémon journey structure - collect 8 Badges, challenge the Elite Four, and rise to become Champion. I've always enjoyed the structure and wanted to stick to it. Along the way, you'll run into Team Droch, an evil group hell bent on exploiting the legendary Divine Six (Ho-Oh, Lugia, Arceus, Groudon, Kyogre, Rayquaza) for their own power.
Balancing against them is the Church of Solas, an influential religious order that plays a major role in the region's culture and story. But as your journey unfolds, you'll discover that things aren't always as simple as good vs. evil…
