Blurb

Former Hoenn Champion, recently dethroned by Steven Stone, you were recently invited by Diazoc Champion to move in to his region and help him investigate strange time-related phenomena. Your timeline is in danger and the only one who can save it is you and the Time Travel Pokémon Celebi who has recently disappeared.

Concept

A fangame made by oldschool Pokémon player for oldschool Pokémon players with some revamped mechanics and some focus on competitive aspects.


About the project


I have grown up in the Brazilian 90s-00s playing the first three generations of Pokémon. I have played every generation ever since but I still keep coming back to Kanto, Hoenn and Johto. This game doesn't intend to reinvent the wheel and aims to give what would feel like a "2000s Pokémon Experience" with some modern mechanics. I always dreamt of making my own game, but never having enough time (full-time worker) or knowledge (Social scientist here...), I found in Pokémon Essentials the perfect opportunity to do so. I have been working on and off on this game for the last year or so. It is meant to have everything you would expect from a 3rd gen mainline game with some minor twists for a more challenging experience: 8 dual-typed gyms scattered throughout a diverse region, a Pokémon League you have to beat in order to be the very best and an evil team who has its own worldview and objectives.

The project is currently in a very rudimentary state and is only playable until the first gym. In order to upload a demo, I want to rewrite the whole intro and continue the story until the second gym. My whole life I have defined myself as a duck - a versatile animal which can fly, walk or swim, but can't handle any of these skills very well. I try to sprite, map and write and can only do so in my very limited free-time. Again, the idea is not to be a groundbreaking game. Like most of you, I just want to share my love for Pokémon and tell a story.

Made using


Pokémon Essentials 18.1

Also, huge thanks to Thundaga and all the wonderful videos that taught me everything that I know about Pokémon Essentials or RPG Maker.

Please! If you some use of a resource that went uncredited, please let me know! I try to be as throrough as possible but sometimes proper credit giving is slippery, specially if someone sent me over a resource through a PM somewhere.



You want to help?


That's lovely and I thank you from the bottom of my heart. I am always glad in taking help from other aspiring makers, sprites, composers or whatever you find that would be an asset to this game :) Whenever I release a first demo, I will also be very thankful if someone could playtest it and help me with spelling or grammar mistakes, since I am not a native English speaker. Also, if you went through the trouble of reading a little about my project, I would very much like to thank you :)
