What is Hazel?
I've been developing this game's dex, world, characters and story for just about seven years! Besides a few guest designs from a couple close friends, this has been entirely done by myself for this point in time. (Now with music contributions from the very talented RGBFrog/Tobias Roberts!) This game originally started as a romhack, but I migrated it all over to RMXP in 2019 and have been working on it since.
Pokémon Hazel has a regional Pokédex featuring both old favorites and over 100 new Fakemon crafted with love <3
My vision for Hazel has always been to make a game in the same vein as the classic Pokémon experience. Nothing too out of the ordinary, but with a few twists of its own to still bring out its own uniqueness! I also plan to finally bring the Gen 3 romhack look to Essentials, with a custom screen size, UI, and more!
This game also features:
A full storyline with a bit of postgame
V-powers, a completely rebalanced amalgamation of the mechanics of Z-moves and Max moves
Some branching story paths: A few gym leaders can be fought in different orders!
Region and Plot
Pokémon Hazel takes place in the Umei region, based on the California Bay Area, and experiences I've had with it growing up.
On your journey, you'll meet two very strange organizations in clash with one another: Slate Co., a corporation with a rotten rep for espionage, and the Fang Gang, a longstanding gang of environmentalist troublemakers. Who are they, why are they fighting, and what do they have to do with the mysterious Pokémon called Kujirath?
Pokémon
What's a Pokémon game without Pokémon? Hazel has 151 original Pokémon, about 100 returning favorites, as well as a few regional forms.
With that said, meet Umei's starters!
Your choice is between the Grass-type kitten Purrikly, the Fire-type beetle grub Fumigrub, and the Water-type cuttlefish Lovae!
There's lots more to see as well! Lots of other new Pokémon await you in Umei!
Characters
Umei's protagonists are called Cameron and Coraline. Whichever character you don't pick becomes a minor character in your journey.
