​
Explore the Makya region, where old and new collide. Host to dozens of ancient caves and tunnels, Makya was settled anew by the disbanded members of Team Chasm, who 20 years ago sought the power of the Regis. When a strange new group puts those plans back into motion, the people of Makya need a newcomer like yourself to delve deep and find the truth. Can you keep Makya from repeating its past?

Features
​
No Pokémon left behind! That's our guiding philosophy for Pokemon Tectonic, which combines the best aspects of fangames and romhacks into a fresh Pokémon adventure experience.

➤ Capture Pokémon up to generation 8, and even Hisuian forms from Legends: Arceus
➤ Wield 20+ regional forms unique to Makya, and 30+ new evolutions to existing Pokémon
➤ Love Pokemon like we do by cherishing a unique move or ability for every single Pokemon

3.0, the content update for Pokémon Tectonic, is now live! After nearly 3 years, we've finally made a feature complete game with the most extensive rebalance in fangame history.

You can view our changelog here. We've also already included a bunch of bugfix patches and updates as well, thanks to our wonderful playtesters.

The fourth patch of 3.0 is now up on the Tectonic Launcher!
You can also download the full version: Here
Or just the modified files: Here

3.0.4 is larger than a typical patch. Better to think of it as a minor update! Check out the changelog: Here

This update includes some possibly save destabilizing changes. We've ran thorough tests to make sure they work properly, but I'd still recommend taking a backup of your saves, just in case.

Hey I noticed the official website is down, and the discord links I can find are invalid. Wanted to join discord to talk about it. Thanks if you can help!

We are pleased to announce that we've reached a major milestone: The download link for Pokemon Tectonic's most recent release has passed 10 thousand clicks! At the same time, our Discord server has passed the 4k members mark. The Tectonic team is very excited that so many people are enjoying our game, and that so many of you have chosen to spread the word about the good times you've had with it. Thank you!

Good news! The work on 3.0.5 has expanded so much that it has evolved into 3.1!

We're targeting a tentative release date of March 15th. Feast your eyes:

Make Some Noise
We're always looking to add new tools that help you shape your experience. 3.1 introduces a new tool item called the Noise Machine. A modal item, it will let you repel wild encounters, or make them much more likely!

Out of Sprite
Our new spriter @M1ntyFr3shD4n has taken on the challenge of respriting some of our oldest regional forms. We'll be drip-feeding the results to you across the future update-feed posts. Today, take a look at a remade Makyan Tangela and Tangrowth!

mtangela_line_preview.png

Infomatics
Speaking of re-spriting, we've finally completed an important makeover: The Battle Info screen! Both the main screen and the individual battler screen were originally designed during the Pokémon Tectonic alpha. They should now be a lot more readable, and therefore, a lot more useful.

¡Mejorando!
Through hard work and close collaboration with our Spanish translator @Valrex, Furret Enjoyer, we've stamped out dozens of issues that affected the Spanish version of Pokémon Tectonic. We're very grateful for all the attention we've received from the Spanish-speaking community, and also for the feedback they've shared that's made these improvements possible.

If you're interested in translating Pokémon Tectonic to another language, please send me a direct message!

3.1 Update Post!
Community feedback matters! Today's update post features changes made by members of the community, as well as changes spurred by community feedback.

Refreshing
Second in our suite of regional form resprites are Makyan Sinistea and Polteageist, again courtesy of M1ntyFr3shD4n. Don't they look delicious?

Is it Dark in Here?
Rejoice, those who value their eyes, for LunaFlare, Number Cruncher has saved you! She put in the work to create a mod that expanded Dark Mode to cover nearly every menu in the game. Come 3.1, this mod will now be included in the base game. Want to put your own touch on Pokémon Tectonic? Come on down to ⁠our discord and learn how!

2024-03-04_15_29_46.976.png


Stock in Trade
In a game with as many Pokémon trades as Pokémon Tectonic, its important that they be fun and streamlined. Coming in 3.1, you can now select the Pokémon to trade away from your entire PC (or your party, as normal). This will also apply to NPCs that ask you to merely show them a 'mon. We'll be taking advantage of this by adding 2 more of those in 3.1.

Potpourri
Random updates, go!
  • A cute little popup with jingle will now play to mark when you've unlocked a boat travel location
  • The "interact with a television" segment of the Tri Island quest should now be obvious due to a new visual effect
  • The ribbons tab has been removed from the Pokémon Summary menu to make it clear its not used
  • A new NPC in the Novo College Fossil Hall will now tell you about the Galar Fossil Reviver in Team Chasm HQ
  • Moved some Medical Upgrades around to make it less likely you'll end up with very few even into the lategame
  • Abilities that set field effects now play the animation for that field effect when they activate
  • Added custom sprites for all items that were lacking them
  • "Avatar narration" now displays with a custom window located in the center of the screen

Honestly, I really like the game at its core, but I'm not personally a fan of forced level caps or the way the exp system is handled. I get that a lot of fans want that sort of stuff to make games "harder", but to me it always just ends up making things feel more tedious, and makes it annoying when you're one level away from getting a new move or evolving. In my book, that sort of thing should be left as an option, not the default. It's not the worst, but it does bring down the experience a bit in my book.

The third patch of 3.1 is now ready to download through the Tectonic Updater.

You can also download the full version manually here.
Or just the modified files here.


Patch 3.1.3 is a moderately sized patch:
  • Added a new hints system to the Condensed Lights quest
  • Reduced the amount of EXP gained from Valentina's collection rewards
  • Made the trainers of the Eleig Stretch significantly easier, to ease difficulty curve issues at that point in the game
  • Split Prizca Sewers West into two separate maps
  • Added "Perfect Fight" and "Cursed" icons to team snapshots for easier bragging
Check out the full changelog here.

Just finished, and wow. Definitely one of the top tier fan games out there.

First of all, great job with the rebalancing, and making all mons both unique and viable! Secondly, interesting story and characters. The premise "what if you started your journey after the champion already defeated the villain team" isn't one I've seen before, there are some plot twists you really don't expect, and the characters are memorable right down to the optional side quest ones. As for the battles, it's nice how you have to think up strategies (of which there are several, thanks to the tribe system) instead of just sweeping through with the same move over and over again. Just the right level of difficulty imo, challenging without being frustrating.

One of the only issues I had with it was it's a bit laggy, although that might just be my computer. The other was the lack of a quest log, I have the worst memory so had some trouble finding the optional trainers even after the hints they dropped.

Still, this game's popularity is well deserved. Feels a little bittersweet that I've completed it, but at least there's the battle monument!
