Plot

Five years have passed since the Metropia region was liberated from the tyranny of the villainous Mr. Apocalypse by the current Pokémon League Champion, the heroic Pokéman! People have adapted to this new era led by the Pokéheroes, Pokémon Trainers who focus their efforts to protect the citizens from evil doers with their Pokémon.

However, absolute peace is still far away, as many trainers known as Pokévillains remain at large, waiting for the right moment to take over the region again, highlighting among them the Team Kaiser, formed by the followers of Mr. Apocalypse who remained in the region after he went into exile.

Play as a young aspiring trainer to become the next Metropia Champion and, consequently, the new #1 Pokéhero, facing all kinds of dangers along the way on a journey to save the region from its doom!

The Region

The Metropia region was ruled by a villain who managed to win the Pokémon League Championship back in the day and had been enforcing his will on the citizens with his powerful Pokémon. It wasn't until Pokéman defeated him five years ago that he was forced to leave the region in order to avoid getting imprisoned.

The Starters

You can choose one of these three starters before starting your journey: the Chameleon Pokémon Hiteon, the Flame Moose Pokémon Blazebi or the Drop Fish Pokémon Childrop. Each one of them excels at one way of battling.

Characters

You can choose to play with a male avatar or a female avatar. The avatar that you don't choose will become one of the rivals you'll encounter throughout the game.

Trevor is the other main rival in the game, a shy and humble young trainer, who starts his journey at the same time as you in order to become braver.

Team Kaiser is the biggest threat in Metropia since Pokéman became the new Champion. It is formed by Pokévillains still loyal to Mr. Apocalypse's and want to turn the region into a villain paradise again.

And many more!

Thank you! Glad you like it!

Okay, I've been informed the hud is still in spanish because of it being made of images. From now on, the download link will lead to a new version with the battle hud in english (along with some minor translating fixes). For any more things and feedback about the translation, feel free to let me know.

Ah, that's a crash that happens when you change the screen size of the game. Because I couldn't find a way to fix this, I put a warning about this in the "BEFORE YOU PLAY.txt" file. Now, the only way to fix that is to go to your users folder in your pc, find the folder with your save files inside it and erase the file of the fangame an start a new game without touching the screen size. Sorry for the inconvenience but right now that's the only solution that I know

Ah okay then I'll do that and I guess I'll just put up with the small screen then or put it back to small before I save the game and close it that way.

You could try do the screen size change and then change it back before closing the game and see if that works. I personally would recommend to stick to the small screen, so you don't have to remember every time to change it before closing the game, as this problem destroys your whole save file.

Okay then I'll just keep it that small size btw what natures do you recommend is best for the starters so I know what to look for it and can they come out as shiny?

I think I already set them the best nature they could have according to the type of fighters they're designed to be. As Hiteon ends up becoming a physical attacker, I gave it the Adamant Nature, Blazebi is a tanky Pokémon, so I gave it the Impish Nature and Childrop is a special attacker, so I gave it the Modest Nature. And yes, they should be able to come out as shiny if you're lucky (Hiteon turns cyan, Blazebi black and Childrop pink).

Okay and oooh those are pretty colors for them though pink is pretty normal for the water types. I'm going with Blazebi so I'll just keep soft resetting until he comes out shiny which hopefully won't take too long but there is no telling.

 

[Lgarabato]

pink is pretty normal for the water types.

Yeah, that's why I made it that way, a bit for a laugh. Anyway, shiny Blazebi also has blue flames instead of red. If you want to pick shiny Blazebi, I wish you luck and a good playthrough.

lol thanks and will the shiny show when you first pick the starter or will it only show when you look at the summary?

Only when you look at the summary.

 

[SunGoddess23]

Okay then thanks Lgarabato

 

[SunGoddess23]

Sorry for the double post but I got the shiny yay took about 20+ soft resets so I guess I got lucky.

Blazebi ends up exceling in both defenses.

 

[SunGoddess23]

Okay and I think I can make him pretty speedy as well which I always seem to do with my Pokemon at least those that require the speed evs
