Completed Pokémon Hegemony

This project is complete. Any future revisions will be bug fixes or small updates.
Project Status
Completed
Project Version
5.2.10
It's been 2 years since the end of a war with Hoenn. The Parthenia region has nearly finished reconstruction, and the region is slowly returning back to its normal routine. The region of Parthenia is returning to its more industrial ways, being the major exporter of construction materials and Potions to the other regions of the world. However, it seems no one really knows how the war ended. Some believe Parthenia was beaten but Hoenn left the Parthenians with their dignity to allow for more peaceful reconstruction. But the government has made no confirmation of anything.

However, you are just a student at the Pokémon Institute. And your path to graduation is to take on the Gym challenge in Parthenia. This Gym challenge is unlike many others, in that it chooses to adopt different strategies instead of adopting type themes. Along the way, you'll encounter the different military branches, as well as the military science groups that have developed Pokémon that were modified for war. And since you happen to start your adventure right as the Professor runs out of starters, you get to choose one of the Wartime Pokémon as your starter! Get ready to explore Parthenia and see what all kinds of Pokémon were modified for war, learn the story behind the Parthenia-Hoenn war, and find out what the secret Militia group is scheming as you travel to defeat the Gym challenge.

MAJOR UPDATE:

The game is complete through the main story! And now an expansive post-game has been added!

New Features in this game:

Warning: this game is meant to be difficult. It was intended to be played as a hard-core nuzlocke, and the lowest difficulty available still prevents item use in battle.

New Mega Evolutions
Wartime forms for Pokémon
New type: Cosmic - a typing discovered in Parthenia after the government attempted to expand to outer space to gain a military advantage.
New abilities and moves
All Pokémon up through Scarlet and Violet are now available! Post-game provides access to most of the Gen 9 Pokémon!
Updates to old Pokémon's typings, abilities and stats to make some less desirable Pokémon better, allowing for versatility in teams.
A stronger AI designed to make the Gym challenge an actual challenge
A few new weathers: Eclipse, Windy, Sleet, and Starstorm, as well as updating Storm and Fog to match Sword and Shield mechanics and Snow to match Scarlet and Violet!
HM Catalogue - no more HM Items or HM Slaves. Just have the move registered to your Catalogue and you can use it outside battle!
Changed Freeze to Frostbite to match with Legends: Arceus mechanics
EBDX with many custom move animations and some custom battle backgrounds

NOTE ABOUT THIS LAUNCHER:
This Launcher, by default, installs to your C: drive. If you choose to install elsewhere, ONLY USE THE SHORTCUT PLACED ON YOUR DESKTOP TO LAUNCH THE GAME! Anything else will likely launch something different, and until I can make a new launcher, this is just the easiest method to ensure you're playing the correct game.

================
Join the Discord linked here to download the latest version as patches will also be released as soon as they are completed, while updates will be more timed. So please come enjoy the Parthenia region!

I appreciate that! :)

Also, let me know if the launcher I included links to the right game. Some people report it linking to another of my games for some odd reason. I'll update the link here with a working link if I figure out the problem.

Question, If I play the game not as a hardcore nuzlocke, at the lowest difficulty, will it still be very hard. I'm not typically a kaizo player and stuff

If you want a frame of reference, think Radical Red. It can be played any way you like, you don't have to nuzlocke. However, regardless of what mode you play (with one exception), you will not be allowed to heal in battle. Other than that, the game is pretty open to playing how you like.

Hey, I downloaded your game a few days ago, and I'm really enjoying it! I am having one problem though: wild Pokemon wont spawn. I'm trying to grind to beat the second gym, and no wild pokemon will spawn. I tried using the dexnav, and I tried just running in the grass, but I'm not having any encounters. Any clue as to why this is happening? Thanks

If you hit the W key, it will Toggle the Infinite Repel. Test that and see if that doesn't solve your problem :)

hey how do i evolve kubfu? sorry for bothering you with this
No need to apologize :] I'm here to help. And Kubfu evolves VERY late game. There's an NPC that appears after you gain access to Victory Road that appears in 2 different places that you can talk to in order to choose which evolution you want. One is next to Gym 8, and the other is in Lake Chloros

I'm a bit concerned I'm missing something obvious since this is such a devastating issue no one else is talking about, but no matter what I do, I get softlocked at the very beginning of the game right before I'm supposed to choose a pokemon. Joseph walks up to the table to I assume put the pokeballs on the table, but doesn't move and no inputs work except for being able to press w to toggle infinite repels, nothing seems to work and even reinstalling the game and trying repeatedly doesn't seem to resolve the issue. I really wanna try this game out it seems right up my alley, but nothing I do seems to work.

Thanks for the quick fix! That did get me past choosing a starter, but very quickly I ran into the issue where the professor asks me to grab a pokedex off his desk? Which I can't find/interact with, and he won't let me leave without it, so I'm stuck again. Ironically, I COULD proceed because you didn't put collision on the right wall of the building so I could skip the roadblock, but something tells me proceeding without a pokedex would just cause more problems down the line.

I'll post a fix to that asap. I'm out of my house but I'll give it a shot pretty soon
