Released Pokémon Rainbow: Arc 4 released!

Pokémon Rainbow!
​

Introduction
A fangame made with Pokémon Essentials, with a focus on exploring expansive routes, getting to know colorful characters (and yourself) and whatever silly features I can think of. Find and train rare Rainbow Pokémon with unique and powerful abilities to defeat the seven Arc Angels and stop the plans of Team Spectrum while you're at it. The Prisma Region is waiting for you!

You can download the game here.

Features

• Certain Pokémon have received Rainbow forms with completely new abilities!
• Instead of Gym leaders, fight Arc Angels with color-based teams!
• No HMs needed! Instead, you can use a wide variety of moves and abilities to get through the obstacles in your way
• Other Quality of Life features like a portable box system
• Gen 8 Pokémon, moves and abilities
• Routes full of hidden corners and caves to reward eager explorers!
• Unlock special abilities by developing your character's personality

Story
When you wake up in the ruins of an abandoned island, your brain is a blank page. The only thing you have is a burning, inexplicable need to collect the Arcs, the marks of success in the Prisma Region. So, you set out on that journey, quickly finding a starter and a kid eager to call themself your rival. Soon, you cross paths with Team Spectrum, an organisation that seeks to put Rainbow Pokémon above all others.
As you grow stronger and get more and more deeply entangled in their plans, you'll need to team up with the Arc Angels to defend the Region. And meanwhile, in the back of your head, questions remain: Where do you come from? Who is that clown that seems to follow you around?
And who are you?

Progress
My current intention is for the game to have 10 Arcs, seven for the Arc Angels, 2 for the rest of the league and 1 for postgame things. This current release includes the first three Arcs.

Changelog
Patch 22/06/2022: Fixes Storytime rewards, Golurk foms, certain rainbow abilities as well as a variety of other stuff

If you have questions, think you found a bug or just want to talk about the game, I recommend coming over to the Discord server! I'm usually not great at keeping up with forum threads, so that's the fastest and most reliable way to contact me.

If you're wandering about playing this game: play it.
It's a good game =)

Hey everyone, got a ton of great feedback a bit ago, so the game is now updated with a lot less bugs, some updated dialogue and graphics and a few changes to rainbow abilities. It's probably a good idea to download it (again)!

Just so you know, in the beginning of the game, there's a sewer pipe you can only access via jumping on little platforms, but there are a bunch you can't physically jump on (thereby making progress impossible) as blocks directly south of the fencing cannot be walked onto, anywhere in the sewers, as far as I could tell.

Yes, sorry about that! Apparently I'd changed some of the passage settings without checking the results. The newest upload should fix that. You might have to leave the room and come back to make it work.

OK, I'm impressed with the map. It seems it has a dark story too. (Tell me that i can play as a girl).Unfortunately i have to wait because i don't know how to patch.

You don't have to patch it yourself. The patchlog is just the list of differences between versions, the current download link has the patch included.

I'm not too far in the game just yet, but I have to say from what I've played, I seriously have to recommend this game. You all have done wonderful work! :D I can't wait to progress farther in this game.

 

[Cervys]

Hey everyone, I've been making some good progress for Arc 4, so I thought I'd do a little sneak peek at the things that are happening in the next version.

New Routes!

New Towns!

Minigames!

...Other Things!

And that's it! See you (hopefully) soon!

 

[Cervys]

It's finally time, folks! Arc 4 is here and waiting to be explored by you!
