In Development Pokèmon Detectives

POKÉMON DETECTIVES
Made using POKÉMON ESSENTIALS v20

STORY
In this mystery-solving puzzle like game, you play as a Braixen solving mysteries across the Tikal Region. You have recently been employed by your boss and longtime friend, Mr. Blastoise, as a Pokemon Detective. In other words, to make sure nothing bad happens, and that there is peace and prosperity in the region.

But of course something bad has to happen.

So when your best friend, Espi The Espeon is mysteriously and gravely injured by an unknown individual, you must solve the clues and puzzles that will lead you to the criminal who committed this foul act. Team up with allies along the way, discover hidden secrets, find out who and why this mysterious enity decided to do all this, and most importantly, make friends along the way!

A NEW SPIN ON POKÉMON BATTLING!

Now of course, every Pokemon game NEEDS battles in it, but we've taken it a step further! Now instead of playing as a trainer with their own pokemon, you battle as the Pokemon yourself! Battle other Pokemon in the region, whether it'd be your companions, your foes, or anyone else! Get as strong as you can, because you never know what might happen next! (Gameplay footage may not resemble the actual game after release)

FEATURES!​

• A new battle system: Instead of being a trainer sending out your Pokemon, you battle as the Pokemon yourself!​
• Team up with your allies; they will follow you around the region, and they will give you hints on how to solve a mystery if you're stumped or if you're confused in where to go next when you interact with them.​
• Overworld Pokemon Battles: You will find other Pokemon around the region who are willing to battle you. This was implemented for you to earn XP to level up, since you will need to be high leveled as the Pokemon will get harder and harder as you progress through the game. Some Overworld Pokemon Battles are not optional, as some might involve in a mystery, or they might be blocking entrances to progress. Your allies will also occasionally challenge you to a battle during the storyline.​
• Overworld Pokemon Boss Battles: In addition to Overworld Pokemon Battles, certain Pokemon will be avaliable as Boss Battles, more frequently in the post game. They can extend from Boss Battles vs your allies to Legendary Boss Battles vs legendaries!!​
• Post-Game Adventures: The story dosen't end after beating the game! There will be a post-game where you can accept and venture on quests givens by your allies, solve smaller but still exciting and fun mysteries, and of course, challenge yourself to even tougher Pokemon battles! There will also be smaller side-stories featuring each character, but the feature is still in development!​
