In Development Pokémon Seeker - Chapter 1

From afar, a researcher arrives at the Isone region, tasked with researching the ancient legends of the land. Upon their arrival, they're met with catastrophe and must try to survive in this unknown land...

The game is highly inspired by the GBA aesthetic and tries to restrict itself to most of the limitations while still creating something unique and new.
​

• The game is very story heavy, with the actions of players altering the world around them, and is meant to be difficult.
• The game includes not only new regional forms but Fakemon, so even if you aren't the biggest fan of story, there's lots to see.
• There are options to enable Nuzlocke mode, a Randomizer, and you have the choice to enable or disable profanity.
• As a researcher, instead of the traditional Pokédex, you have a notebook that you can write notes in and make your own entries for Pokémon.

The game only goes up to Chapter 1 at the moment. It'll take about an hour or so, depending on how you play.
The game is made in RPG Maker XP and uses Pokémon Essentials.

You should consider reading the page

...Also , since the game aims to be difficult. Is there a way to change natures , IVs, EVs , etc...Or does it aim to be difficult on the ressource management side rather than the battles ?

Also , bugs for now :
-Neither do Sproutrap or Paraspore have a cry.
- Spoutrap's moveset and abilities seem like they've been copy-pasted from Noctowl , which doesn't make sense since it seems like a Carnivine pre-evolution.
Also , I think the latter was quite uneccessary : Paras already was a pretty bad Pokemon , and making it avalaible later by making it have an evolution requirement isn't helping it's case.
The Isonian Hootoot seems like it got the exact same stats and abilities as Alolan Raticate , according to the PBS , and also has the same Pokedex entry
-The event in the Cent Cavern after you talk to the mayor doesn't work , leading to players being unable to progress
-Yungoos' sprite is a bit too high

Thank you for your feedback. I swear I fixed some of the issues so that’s embarrassing! I’ll work on releasing an updated version later today :)

Also, to answer the question, there will be options to customize your Pokémon later on, but as this is the first chapter and there is only one Trainer, I decided to not include it atm.

What is the script error? We can't solve it if you don't give us anything more to go on.

 

[Nomi]

Update is out. Fixes some stuff and adds something.

 

[Aayan Ali]

Grimfowl is our pokemon ???

Yeah they copied your pokemon from pokemon infinty

 

[Nomi]

Nothing was taken from Infinity. The name Grimfowl could be seen in screenshots of the game from months ago, it's just a really weird coincidence.

Script error is an error which occurs and my game crashes

That's not what I asked.

 

[Aayan Ali]

This is the error

 

[Nomi]

This is the error

Redownload the game, it should be fixed. If a script error instantly appears regarding the Pokédex or such, delete your save file and start. new one.

 

[Aayan Ali]

ok

 

[Nomi]

Update fixing stuff, eat up!

Includes bug where if you saved the scientist, it would come back to bite your arse and not let you progress the story for... some reason.

 

[Ray2064]

Moral of the story : Scientists don't deserve to be saved smh

We took "your actions have consequences" a little too far...
