Pokémon: Trick-Or-Treat
Made with Essentials v20.1
Player beware! Pokémon: Trick-or-Treat is a delightfully spooky Halloween-themed Pokémon adventure set in an alt-universe town called Solum. Meet old friends and foes alike as you traverse from house to house collecting Pokémon, candy, and adventure on one of the most magical nights of the year: Halloween. Featuring 251 hand-picked fall- or spooky-themed Pokémon for you to collect, 8 pieces of extra-rare candy to find, guest apperances by a variety of gen 1 to 5 characters, and... zombies? Really, zombies? Who put zombies in this game?
Anyway...
Three plot lines intermingle in this adventure: there's the player's, where you go around collecting rare candy (and also Rare Candies) while trying to solve a mysterious sleepwalking sickness affeciting the town. Then there's the game's generic evil team plot... except there are two teams! Team Treat and Team Trick are both vying for control of the city as they
race each other to amass as much candy as they can before the end of the night. Finally, as you adventure, you'll hear updates from Fantina as she tries to throw The Best Halloween Party Ever. Will she succeed?! Come find out!
Currently the game includes up to three "gyms" of content, mostly because I wanted to get a release out in time for actual Halloween. But the game is currently being actively
developed, so stay tuned for further updates!
- Welcome to Solum!
- This game is set in the town--yes, town--of Solum, a place with quaint coziness, historic charm, and a bustling downtown. Though treated as the game's "region," the intent is to have the player feel like the adventure takes place at the city level, meaning smaller, tighter maps filled with interesting characters and beautiful environments. Everything should be comfortable for the player to traverse by foot; who trick-or-treats by bike?
- The setting takes inspiration from the American northeast, Salem/Boston area, and my own childhood memories growing up celebrating Halloween. In the finished game, expect apple pie and hayrides as much as jump scares and pumpkins.
- Unique "Gyms"
- While gym-type buildings exist in this game, they're not quite the same as gyms of games prior. First, there's no specific type theming; gyms are instead themed around particular Halloween archetypes, with mechanics to match.
- Wander through a haunted house, solve a murder mystery, brew potions, take part in a costume contest; these are meant to be different enough from ordinary gyms to be fun and exciting, yet still fill the gym/dungeon niche.
- Gotta catch 'em all!
- This game features 251 Pokémon that most closely fit in with the mid/late autumn theme. You'll find Skwovet busily gathering and storing food for the winter; Applins and Pumpkaboos hiding amongst the region's farmland; and a plethora of ghost-, dark-, psychic-, poison-, and fairy-type Pokémon!
- Expect to find some from all generations: Beedrill, Murkrow, Claydol, Pachirisu, Swoobat, Pumpkaboo, Dewpider, Applin, and more!
- And more:
- Costumes for you and for opponent trainers, made by yours truly!
- Start the game with your very own Furfrou!
- No need to worry about natures/IVs/EVs/etc: relevant items will be sold (for $$$) in mid-to-late game
- Not one but TWO random enemy teams to beat up (coincidentally named "Team Trick" and "Team Treat")
- With the full game, I'm planning on adding some new halloween-y minigame modes too (Pumpkaboo catching contest? Bobbing for Applins??) plus a "battle frontier"-esque area complete with a variety of interesting battle modes so look forward to that!
