Hello there! Thank you for visiting this page! Feel free to leave a comment!

Currently i'm developing this game in which the idea of a pokemon game is totally different.
I am doing this with RPG Maker XP with Pokemon Essentials V19.1

Feel free to join the Discord page!
https://discord.gg/AMDr9QDDra



Update notes:
New Demo version 1.1 - Release of the 2nd badge! (Feb 22th 2022)
Here it is.. The release of Zoros Town, Nomalt City and the Eastern Shore! After obtaining the first badge you go back to the E.R.F. to receive your new objective. You are allowed to choose to what place you visit first, since this doesn't make a difference in the storyline. At both places a challenge occurs which you have to overcome. When both challenges are completed you'll receive the 2nd badge.

Beside these challenges there are a total of 8 new areas that you can explore. Some areas aren't reachable yet, these are prepared for a later stage in the game. The amount of obtainable pokemon has been raised to 55 evolution lines of which 45 can be obtained without limit! These 10 limited are either random gifted pokemon or trades that can be done.

Evolution overhaul
I've chosen to do a major evolution overhaul. Since you can literally buy your pokemon levels and money can be infinitely generated, most evolution levels have raised quite a bit. Trading and happiness Evo's are replaces and completely removed. Also other evolution methods have been defined. On the discord page is a link to the new evolution charts.

Demo ending
When you've obtained the 2nd badge, you can return to the E.R.F. where the professor will give you a score based on how many eggs you have handed in an hatched. Feel free to post your score on the Discord page as well as your final team!

Other minor changes:
  • Different Level encounters on some areas
  • Day/night (in)visibility of some events
  • New beach encounter type
  • Implementation of the new candy graphics
Future plans:
  • Battlebacks suited to all areas
  • Many more mapping!!!
  • 3rd badge will be in a nearby town/city
  • more trade possibilities
  • speed-up option
  • Moveset revision


Say hello to Zoros Town and Nomalt City! (Jan 20th 2022)
After your fight in Hillside Town, you return to Professor Rowan to receive your next objective. These two new places are where those are objectives can be completed. Within these two new places another badge can be obtained and more rewards can be received.

Please note that these images might not be the final versions of the map, i still am considering some changes..

Working on the storyline, mapping and creating tiles takes a lot of time. There will not be a demo version for every small update.
These posts are just to keep you updated and interested in the project!

Further plans:
  • More mapping, storyline and all that stuff
  • Major move overhaul (editing existing moves and adding new ones)
  • A lot of trading possibilities
  • More different types of eggs

Last release: February 22nd 2022



General Information:
The biggest changes to the regular kind of game:
  • Wild eggs which can be found in nests
  • Wild pokemons are rare
  • Pokeballs are RARE, i mean, EXTREMELY RARE
  • Selling Pokemon will be thing
Also, the basic routes are way bigger so it feels way more like an open world.
Most routes have at least 3 accessable connection points.

Ofcourse, not all pokemon are receiveable by finding eggs, a whole lot of them have to be obtained through a trading sequence.
This means you'll never be able to complete the pokedex in this game. It will contain 450 species from generation 1-4.

From the different eggs that can be found in the wild 76 different pokemon can be hatched! The eggs are shown in the introducing picture.

Also, since battles are unusual, each type has it's own favorite candy which can be bought in the market.

With the current progress right now i can say that next week the new demo will be there! I'm almost finished with the two new areas that we're added on the map update of Februari 16th. The next town will have to wait though. I'll provide a list at the patch notes of what's been added in the new demo

Have you considered making a Discord for this game? I find them to be much easier to communicate in with people, instead of flooding the comment section of games. This game looks quite beautiful, will probably try it out later, but I wanted to bring it up, since announcements, bugs and/or feed back would be easier to give. Keep it up though, have a nice day/night depending upon your timezone/when you read this.

Hi yall!

I've been out of the running for quite some time now. I hope that you're having fun playing the demo!
I'm going to pick the development back up again. For this, my first plan is to redo the entire tileset.

A lot of people advised me to keep the 2x2 pixeldensity as a standard while creating tiles, so that is what i'll have to do first.

While working on that, i want to set up a list of things you guys want me to improve, redo, have a look into, whatever...
For that i refer to the discord page set up for this fangame: https://discord.gg/66fyACdwRq

I hope you will help me with a batchload of ideas to get to the goal of 8 badges!

See ya!

Sad news everyone..

I've decided to give up on this game. All the work that i'll have to do remapping all the areas just is too much. I'm starting a new project similar themed. Random eggs, no pokeballs and one big open world. Just not as big and complicated, just not as many eggs.

I'm going to use the new tileset that i've been working on. I'm planning on taking the process really slow. Don't expect a thread soon..

I'd like to thank everyone who gave input for the game...
