Pokemon Aether and Chaos

About the game:
I set out to create this game for two main purposes.
The first was to write music, specifically focusing on guitar, bass and drum. I wanted a challenge to write pieces I wouldn't usually try, ranging from heavy to ambient styles.
The second was to create a Pokemon experience that I always wished the games would provide. Some of these being:
The ability to use any line of Pokemon in your team and have them be viable for the entire journey.
Allow almost all Pokemon lines to have three or more evolutions.
Create a difficulty in which you cannot simply just over level to breeze through the game.


Story:
The story is linear and was not my main focus for the game, so don't expect anything fancy. Simply put, you are a young trainer aspiring to become champion of the realm. To do so requires obtaining 8 gym badges and defeating the current champions. On your journey, a local professor asks you to collect data on Pokemon as he has noticed a disturbance in the aether, that being a rise in chaotic energy. The realm and all living things rely on the balance of the aether and chaos to live. As you progress, the chaos energy seems to be growing in large amounts and not through simple natural means...

What's different?
A whole new region to explore, the region of Thion
357 total Pokemon with many totally new creations, both pre and post evolutions
Uses the original Gen 1 & 2 Pokemon lines
Many Pokemon have been given different typings
Two new types: Aether and Chaos
All Pokemon lines can be caught in the wild
Gen 8 battle mechanics
Super effective damage reduced to 3.3 and Not very effective increased to 1.15
A level cap for specific points of the game (can be turned off)
An entire soundtrack of roughly 80 tracks specifically created for this game

Potential issues:
I have play tested this for several months now.
The only issue I have not being able to fix is looking in the 'area' section of the Pokedex for some Pokemon. If there are more that people find, I'm happy to fix them.
As this has been a solo project their may be more minor issues to which I'm sorry if they impede your experience.

Hey, thanks for the kind words, I'm glad you're enjoying it.

There's no discord, just these forums and a reddit page on the pokemon fan game reddit.

I'm currently working on a new game which will include another new soundtrack of a similar type. It's an open world style, no new Pokemon or types like in Aether and Chaos, but I'm trying prioritize it to be fun and immersive. Basically building upon what I learnt from Aether and Chaos.

As for Aether and Chaos, and questions, feel free to ask here. It was a first attempt, so there's probably a lot of things which I missed along the way. Regardless, hope you keep enjoying it!

Also, sorry, I didn't see this message until now.
