Does this work on Mac too? This is my first time downloading a game like this and it sounds really interesting so I'd love to play it. Been wanting a gym leader game forever

@Omegas
Thanks for such a fun game!

If you happen to still have plans for an update, would it be possible to give the "Modest Mint" a "USE" option like the other Mints have? It might be the only Mint that only has the "GIVE" and "TOSS" options...

The number of available psychic types is painfully low. :(

After 4 hours of playing this, I am still unable to start battling at the gym. I started as a Dark gym, and have not found any Dark pokemon, none that can evolve to be dark, and none that can learn the Signature move. I have deleted the game now

I don't know if the decision for 5.0.0 has been made, but I'd suggest option three as it seems its what you'd prefer and also be the best route as an improvement to the game. Best of both worlds, if you ask me

chilpanda · Oct 5, 2023

i cant make the game go full screen ive tried f11 but nothin

Rev · Oct 5, 2023

Gonna be honest, I went in to this with really high expectations, and was... slightly dissatisfied.

...BUT.

Not for the reasons you'd think. This fangame is great, don't get me wrong. It's just... missing the mark. It has a LOT of potential, especially since I don't think this concept has been explored a whole lot by other games. The idea of playing AS a Gym Leader is really interesting and could make for an INCREDIBLE experience, and 'Pokemon: This Gym of Mine' certainly delivers in some aspects of that.

The main issue I have is the music. Or, more accurately, the lack thereof. As someone that makes music as a hobby, I was kind of upset that nothing was done to the default music that comes with Essentials. Hell, even ripping some of the music from HeartGold and SoulSilver would make SUCH a noticeable difference for the immersion. It's not even that hard to do, since you can just go to TheSoundsResource, I'm pretty sure they have all the music there (although don't quote me on that).

Another glaring flaw is, once again, the lack of something. Namely trainer variety. There is a very disappointingly small pool of trainers you can end up fighting early on, and it feels kind of... empty. Which is fair, nobody wants to visit the town due to past events that started the game's story in the first place, but you'd think there would be a few more people looking to finish their quest for the 8 badges.

One thing I WILL comment on is the story. I personally haven't (from what I know) gotten terribly far, only around level 37 on average, but honestly? I kinda dig the plot! 'Pokemon: This Gym of Mine' puts you in, as you probably gathered already, the position of Gym Leader in the not-so-bustling Umbal City. The last Gym Leader was apparently not very well-respected, as he neglected to help the people of the city he was so important to. As such, the people's visions of Gym Leaders are very warped, and at first they don't take very kindly to your arrival. However as you gain 'reputation', the people begin to trust you more and more, and as time passes on more people start visiting Umbal City. Unfortunately, that doesn't stop Umbal City from being a crime-free place. The Rough Riders often cause havoc and even go as far as to

kidnap you and smuggle you into their hideout

, and it's up to you to protect the city from their misdoings and whatnot. Sure, it doesn't rival the plots of some of the other Pokemon games like the 5th generation's "Black and White" and it's sequels, but I really enjoy the story and how it's expanded on as you progress through your career.

I could go on and on about the good and the bad, and maybe at some point I will. But as it stands right now, 'Pokemon: This Gym of Mine' is a glimpse. A gaze at what could be. I genuinely hope this game goes far, because like I stated before, it has so much promise.
But.. that's just it. That's all it is. It feels more like a canvas than a demo. There's a lack of places to venture to, and it really shows, especially later on.
There's so much that this game can become, and I genuinely cannot wait to see what this magnificent sculptor does to this beautiful slab of marble that is 'Pokemon: This Gym of Mine'.
Omegas, I wish you nothing but the best of luck with your project, and I hope that this shining chunk of marble comes out to be an amazing sculpture one day.

(Now here's to hoping Nintendo doesn't call down the might of Miyamoto and subject this game to the same fate as some certain OTHER Pokemon fangames)

Is Zebstrika in the game?

NOTICE:
I am aware of a ROM hack version of this game is circulating around. This is NOT that. This version requires no emulator to play and is exclusively for PC. To play, just download the ZIP file from one of the links below. Extract the file and run the game file. I have no affiliation with any of the ROM hack versions of this game.

As for the information relating to v5.0.0, I have run into a major snag in development. To recap, I have been attempting to update this game to Pokemon Essentials v20.1. I knew this would be a bit risky, as Pokemon This Gym of Mine runs on Pokemon Essentials v18.1. And, lo and behold, I ran into an issue. When attempting to load my save, it threw an error after compiling and proceeded to delete my save file... I attempted to run the 20.1 version as a brand new game and it did not throw an error, meaning the issue comes when it tries to load the save.

I know I said that if previous saves were incompatible that I would continue on with version 18.1. However, there are still a number of reasons that I want to update to v20.1 Essentials. So, I decided to ask you guys how I should proceed. At the end of the day, you guys will have to play the game and wait for the update. As such, I want to hear your thoughts. How I see it, there are three ways I can go forward:

1. I can stay with v18.1.
This will require no additional dev time, but glitches such as the weather glitches and level-up glitches will, likely, be permanent issues in the game. In addition, I will lose out on the updated encounter capabilities of v20.1, meaning that any new Pokemon will be limited to newly added areas, and the new Pokemon I add will be limited. In addition, this may cause some Pokemon to be unnecessarily rare, as I cannot directly alter encounter rates in-document.

2. I commit to updating to v20.1, keeping up an updated version of PTGOM 4.0 as a legacy version.
This will require more dev time, but this will deal with glitches such as the weather glitch and the level-up glitch. In addition, this will allow for more robust encounters, potentially balancing out types such as Bug and Steel, which have been reported to be a bit underpowered. Also, I can look into allowing for multiple save files, as doing multiple playthroughs is quite popular in the community so this will make that easier. However, this does mean that this version will NOT be compatible with old save files.

3. I use this as an opportunity to completely overhaul Pokemon This Gym of Mine.
Let's face facts. This game was made 3 years ago, in a rush, and by an amateur game dev. There are a lot of things I had to bandage over just to make the game playable. Even with all the updates, there are still plenty of holes, such as the crazy amount of revenue buildings can generate, the point of reputation and reputation growth not being made clear, some dialogue needing a bit of refinement, and the fact that half of the game's ranks go by over the span of a minute. I could treat this as a chance to truly refine this game. Rebalancing encounters and buildings, giving a reason for ranks 5-7 to exist, amongst other things. In addition, I could look into plugins and resources, such as multiple save files, that could only be added to v20.1. Personally, this would be the route I like to go, but it would add quite a bit of dev time and would not be compatible with old save files. Just like with option 2, the old version of PTGOM will be kept up as a legacy version.

These are the three routes I feel I can go. No matter what, version 5.0.0 content will be included with the update and version 6.0.0 will come some time after. I want to see what you all think, and I am eager to hear your thoughts.

Notes:
It's random chance that goes into deciding who you face at the Gym. I've done everything I could think of to keep it interesting and avoid repetition, but it may happen once in a while, especially early on. Also, some early-game Trainers get stronger if you leave them be. You can only fight each Trainer once, so make it count!
Finally, there is no barrier between areas. You can access areas containing Pokemon five times your strength straight out the gate!
Have fun you guys!

Okay, due to a lack of response on if this project is still being worked on I'm assuming it's a dead project. Thanks for not interacting with people the audience on a regular basis.

I also get frustrated by Omegas not responding to questions on the thread, but you can't really demand engagement from someone working for free on a passion project. People have lives outside of here.

It's only been six months since Omegas announced he was planning on upgrading the game to the latest version of Essentials. That can be a while to wait for a response, but it's not uncommon for game updates, especially ones intending to overhaul a game.

Just because a creator of a fangame doesn't respond to people on a regular basis, doesn't mean it's a dead project. You're basically forcing somebody to answer, when Omegas doesn't really need to. It's really rude to say what you said.

Creating fangames can be a lot of work, especially when you're the only person working on it, and fangames are passion projects, something people do on their free time, which some people don't get enough of, because they got lives outside of their time to work on fangames. When Omegas is ready to drop an update, he will, but he's not gonna force himself to do it, when he isn't ready to share it.
