Spectrum Wiki
Introduction:
Pokémon Spectrum is a fan game being made by myself with Essentials and some other resources. I've been working on this on/off in my spare time since February 2014.

Plot:
You are a person in a little known region, living in the small town of Lildune. However, an opportunity arises and you decide to go explore the region with all its native Pokemon that can't be found in other regions. There is an unknown world out there, with Gyms and Pokemon Trainers just like many other regions, along with myths and lore you must learn about for yourself. Can you catch them all, defeat them all, and rise to the top?

Demo Features:
  • 100+ fakemon
  • Spectrum forms of official Pokémon
  • 3 Gyms
  • New region
  • Animated sprites
  • Trainer customization
  • HM removal and misc QoL changes
  • Increased shiny rate

(Follow Instructions below first if you are using a previous version)
Updating instructions for people who want to keep their save file intact
Ver 1.3.x/1.4.x -> 1.3.x/1.4.x
Save in the middle of the Pokémon Center as shown in the screenshot for Ver 1.2 -> 1.3

Ver 1.2 -> 1.3
Before going to 1.3, do the following in 1.2 first and then save:
-If you are using an outfit other than the default (i.e. the one given from the woman in Sahara City) change it back to the default outfit first. (You can regain this outfit by talking to the woman again after moving to 1.3). This step is only necessary for 1.3.0. Ignore this if going to 1.3.1.
-Open the Pokédex and move the cursor to the first value in the Pokédex list (i.e. Kokoala). This step is only necessary for 1.3.0. Ignore this if going to 1.3.1.
-Make sure you save in this specific spot in a Pokemon Center to prevent passability issues with the map changes.

Ver 1.1 -> 1.2
The first thing to do is to set all the options back to their default settings. Some options in 1.1 don't exist in 1.2, so having contradicting settings will cause an error if you don't change these back.
Second, make sure you save in this specific spot in a Pokemon Center before going to the new version. There are so many map changes everywhere that this is the easiest way to make sure you don't end up stuck when you load up the new version.

When you load up the new game from a Pokemon Center, you should end up here:

Refer to the man in the black clothes:
IEQyvea.png

That guy is Mr. Compatibility Man. I made him specifically to help solve changes I made between versions. Talk to him to initialize your following Pokémon. Kalahari Gym also gives out a new TM of a new move now, so if you're in Kalahari City, talk to him in the Pokémon Center to exchange your old TM for the new one. I made the event in way so it'll only work for players who beat the Gym before this release.

Ohhhh man this is looking better than ever. I played this game a while back, and I love the vibrant colours of both the maps and the Fakemon, which are wonderful. I like the features you've added, such as following Pokémon and outfits!

Wow - this looks super cool so far. The plot seems nice and simple, which I like and the effort that's been put into the fakemon look amazing. I love it when people animate fakemon because it looks so much better than just having them static. I love the upgrade given to EBS. I think it gives a nice touch on the system and I really like that.

I will say that some of the maps in the development section look a bit empty, especially the first one. I feel like that looks kind of boring and plain. I'm also not a big fan of the Trubbish and Garbodor for one reason - it may confuse the player to see a totally different Pokemon. If you are going to change the way something looks, let people know about it, otherwise, it will lead to confusion.

However, with that being said, the game looks amazing. I can't wait to see where it goes.

Beautiful quality stuff as always kojo. The new forms feature is awesome, I also loved that you added a new fakemon to the Pan trio(Pansurge and Simisurge are now my favorites) I hope you do more of that for other pre-existing pokemon.

This is honestly one of my favorite fangames I have ever played. I even wrote a review expressing exactly how good I think it is, and with the upcoming update I'm positive it will become far better than before. The animated sprites, cool and creative fakemon designs, diverse and interesting region and excellent re-imagining of classic Pokemon elements make this an outstanding game that's both cool and fun to play. The fact that it's almost all the work of just Kojo makes it extra impressive.

Great work, and I can't wait to play future updates and explore more of the Kroma region! :D

Glad to see to that Pokemon Spectrum is going to continue being and is still in the works. Can't wait to see what the new update brings in person and looking forward to your progression on the project. The animated sprites are a really nice touch in the game and I love some of the designs in this game with Pyroo being one of my favorites. Fire starter for the win!
If I could make one suggestion on a pokemon could Pajambaz be one of those pokemon that changes its design between a pool of randomly generated patterns like Vivillon. I think it would be a clever thing to have quilt or design variations between Pajambaz and it would be one of those pokemon that will offer collectors a fun little sidequest to catch all the designs.
Also could you possibly send data to me or Techskylander about the pokemon in Spectrum to help us with updating the wikia with more precise information. Keep up the good work Kojo and look forward to the next update as Twitch said I can't wait to play the future updates and explore the Kroma region more.

I loved playing through this game when I did (probably about a year ago), all the inspiration for areas and Pokémon that you can get from Australia.

Usually I'm pretty iffy on Fakémon, I think the idea is nice but the execution is not so nice. This, along with how they tend to not blend very well with existing Pokémon, can make a game pretty iffy in terms of its monsters. However, I really like most of the Fakémon that are present in this game. I'm also pretty excited to see the sorta middle-ground you've introduced with having Fakémon alongside regional forms, it makes the line between your Pokémon and existing ones that bit more blurred which is nice.

Overall, I really like this game, I'm looking forward to seeing future updates.

I've never played a game like this before, its so reminiscent of the original pokemon, and totally nails the aesthetic of being on an adventure and playing an actual pokemon game.
a lot of games try too hard to be something they're not, but this game nails it with the original sprites, the sounds, and the UI design, everything.
The work you put into this is truly amazing, it's hard to believe you did all this without a team

The difficulty curve is very very steep, and I would consider lowering the encounter rate, the route with the flower patches and fences was a nightmare to traverse, and the gymleaders were nearly impossible (not to mention there was no place to grind properly)

The game was so much fun and I really enjoyed everything you did, and I can't wait to see what you do with it!
(also I thought the grass type was going to have a cool healing ability, not just some healing move...)

Yo when I saw that development was continuing on this game I was super excited, loved this game the first time I played it! I agree with @Radical Raptr on the difficulty scaling, I only just beat the second gym by the skin of my teeth, but the environment and Pokemon all made up for it for me in the end.

Also the kangaroo being fire/fighting is the one time I can't get mad about a fire/fighting starter.

How were you able to animate your sprites?

They use Luka's Elite Battle System plugin to make a more Gen 5-esque battle scene. To animate the sprites, the image files for the Pokémon are composed of strips of the frames of the sprite. I couldn't find an example of a spritesheet file online, but here's what the spritesheets would look like without EBS.
I know that, but how do they animate custom sprites? I have only gen 1 to 5 sprites animated and need to know how to animiate other ones

Made an account to just say that this is a pretty epic demo, had fun all the way through it and nabbed a few random shinies :D Looking forward to future updates!

Also quick question to anyone, does Parabox just evolve into Charmeow, or am I doing something wrong?

Still working on it. Hoping to get an update out sometime in the next few months. Still some maps and events to finish. Battle sprite updates are pretty much done.

O thank god, I had feared the worst for this masterpiece. It's good to see it is not only still in development but the fact it looks improved and more polished than it was already is amazing.

It's not common to see a fangame with fully animated sprites, including pokemon from gen 6 and above and fakemon. So far this project is looking nice and I'm excited to see it grow in the future. :>
