In Development [Unity Engine] Pokémon Lets Go Unity

This project is a work in progress. The content is subject to change, and not finished yet.
Project Status
Discontinued
Hi! I'm here to present the project I am making with a friend: Pokémon Lets Go Unity

postprocessing_by_hydregonart_ddimhig-fullview.jpg


Introduction:

Pokémon Lets Go Unity is a recreation of Pokémon Lets Go in Unity Engine with C# adding all monsters from generation 1 to 8 and all battle mechanics (Shadow Pokémon, Mega-Evolutions, Z-Moves, Dynamax, Gigamax...). All Pokémon animated models (until gen 7) are extracted from UltraMoon and overworld models and textures (and audio) have been extracted from Pokémon Lets Go Pikachu. Gen 8 pokémon are from Sword and Shield. Everything else (Shaders, fakemon, trainer animations, events, coding, scenes...) are made from scratch.

Story

Pokémon Lets Go Unity aims to recreate the original game adding more features, so the story is the same as always.

In the future, I would like to recreate Johto in Lets Go style, creating Pokémon Lets Go Crystal.

Added features

Well, the game is not the same as Lets Go. It has some cool new features such as:

  • Mounting and Following mons
  • Rendering options
  • Upscaled textures for HQ Graphics
  • All monsters
  • All mechanics
  • Fakemon (I have a 130 designed fakemon with some of them already included in the game)
  • Game Boy emulator where you can play GB ROMs (not included with the game). There is an extra for this where Pokémon Blue, Red or Yellow ".SAV" file can add Pokémon and items to Lets Go Unity save file data.
  • Minigames: Slot machines, Voltorb Flip, Pikachu Surfing minigame(Pokémon Yellow's Pikachu with Surf is needed), Pikachu Music Run...
  • Fishing Minigame (if the option is toggled) similar to PokéPark Fishing Rally DS.
  • Some extra events like Giovanni story and Armored Mewtwo related to Psinergy (MegaEvolution and Shadow Mewtwo).
  • Pokémon Snap mini-game.
  • Mystery Gifts
  • Multilanguage

Planned features (after LGU)

  • Johto and Crystal demo
  • Online Features (this will depend mainly on Nintendo as it gets really upset with online projects)
  • Battle Tower
  • Pokémon World Tournament

Progress

I have already done about 80% of all scripting core (movement, battle, save, menu, database...) with playable gameplay from Oak's Intro to Brock in Pewter City. Some fakemon have been already created and included. All monsters from gen 1 to 7 and all gen 8 models (excepting animations due to the lack of gfpak parsing). All minigames are done, including Snap mechanics.

Video

Here you have an old video showing up how the game loads chunks seamless.

Demo

I need to fix some stuff, but I home to be able to release a demo soon (Only PC and maybe Android).

Performance

From my experience, you can play on any platform without many issues (you will need to set rendering settings in options, according to your device).

Tested on PC, Android, iOS, and Nintendo Switch with 60 stable fps.

Wow, looks great! I can't wait for this! I know sometimes the battle system is a big pain for development---any progress with that, dare I ask?

The battle is mainly done for regular trainer battles and wild battles with regular monsters, shadow Pokemon, Mega Evolutions, Z Moves and Gigamax + Dynamax. However, I need to do the animations. For now, they change stats (and attacks). I need to end double battles, triple battles and hordes.

I can't wait for this!!! Will this be a game or will this be an engine?
If engine or game, both are great and I can just thank you for doing this!

This looks amazing I'll mainly play it on the PC, if I'm able to get it to work for me, then my switch because I don't want to take any chances on it on there. The Armored Mewtwo looks really cool.

The Switch build will be only for me. I will launch it for PC and Android (and iOS if I ever get a mac). It doesn't run pretty bad on mobile.

And thanks!! :D

You can import any Pokémon from your official games (with your .SAV or Pkhex .PK) to PLGU and use them in the game.

Problem is I'm not all that computer savvy so I'm not sure if I'll be able to do that so I'll just enjoy it as a brand new game to play.

Mobile port will only support virtual pad (which is not the most comfy thing)

Even after tons of hours of work rigging and animating, now that I can, I'm gonna export and use all the original animations:
