Pokémon Grimm
Early Demo


Made with RPG Maker XP and Pokémon Essentials V20.1

ZjC8ccp.png


Welcome to the Faerie Region!

Trainer school is finally over, and you have the whole summer to do whatever you want!
Of course, for you and many other trainers, there's only one thing to do in this period:
Take on the Pokémon League, and become Faerie's new champion!

Naturally, that won't be easy! You must travel through many different places, making
friends and meeting new rivals, all the while catching and raising many new Pokémon!

And of course, there's that group of ruffians, Team Riot, on the loose...
It seems that they have a bone to pick with NW Corp, the new sponsor
of the Pokémon League...

I wonder what that's all about...

-Features-

Limited Pokédex: 382 hand-picked Pokémon, from generations 1-9, alongside
some new surprises!

Old Pokémon, new forms: 50 new regional and ecologically similar
Pokémon, including new evolutions!

Sidequests: Throughout Faerie, you will meet many people that will give you
optional quests, rewarding you with money, TM's, and even exclusive Pokémon!

Difficulty modes: If you seek a greater challenge, you can choose to play the
game on Challenge Mode, where all trainers have stronger Pokémon, and
important trainers receive extra Pokémon and powerful movesets!

Configurable Autosave: Every time you enter or leave an area, the

game will automatically save for you! If it's not your style, you can
turn it off on the options box.

Pokémon everywhere: Wild Pokémon appear on the overworld,
and your lead Pokémon follows you outside of its Poké ball!

Evolutions that cannot be achieved in this demo are blacked out.
Most of the sprites have been graciously provided by various artists. Detailed sources can be found at the Credits section.

-About the Demo-

The Demo goes up to a little farther than the second gym, until the third rival fight,
totaling up to around 2-3 hours of playtime.
Originally, the first Demo would go up until the third gym, however, due to the lack
of playtesters in my end, I wasn't so sure about the difficulty curve, so I decided to
release the Demo earlier as to test the level balancing with a wider audience.
Hence the Demo being version 0.5 instead of 1.0.

If you have something to say about the game, just say it!
Any and all feedback is greatly appreciated!

-What's next-

After the feedback is taken into account, if everything goes well,

a new Demo should be launched in 2025, going up to the third gym
as initially planned. After it launches, I probably won't do any more
public Demos until the game is finished.

-Known Bugs-

-> After a long time playing the game nonstop, the framerate
may start to drop while the player is in tall grass. By opening and closing the
game, this issue will be fixed. Unfortunately, this is a glitch native to Version 20.1
of Pokémon Essentials, so I don't know if there's a way to fix it.
I'm sorry for the inconvenience.

-> When going up or down an diagonal stair, the Following Pokémon may
react strangely to it, and it's position compared to you will become modified.
This is purely a visual glitch, and can be fixed by changing maps.

-> Sometimes, the overworld encounters may stop working, even though
they are turned on. To fix this, simply save and open and close the game.
If this doesn't fix it, go to options and turn overworld encounters off,
open and close the game, and then turn them back on.

-Known Bugs-

-> When going up or down an diagonal stair, the Following Pokémon may
react strangely to it, and it's position compared to you will become modified.
This is purely a visual glitch, and can be fixed by changing maps.

-> Sometimes, the overworld encounters may stop working, even though
they are turned on. To fix this, simply save and open and close the game.
If this doesn't fix it, go to options and turn overworld encounters off,
open and close the game, and then turn them back on.

-Game Download-
(V0.5.0)

Download V0.5.0

I be honest at first i don't realize there new game because as you know sometimes post can get push down by older post if it get new comments.

My impression is the game look beautiful, i lie if i said it as beautiful as Spanish fangame because well they're just build different with all those animation and outworld map but i can assure you this game look good.

I don't know maybe it's only me buy i feel the route feel short.

I got some fps drop sometime after i play for 3 hours or when walk in grass try to see all pokemon here but i already kmow it's because Pokémon Essentials V20.1 have this bug so it's understandable.

I hope in future we can have both big city and big wild area to explore.

I can't say much because the game still short but i feel really good playing

Thank you. Hope this game can finish soon when if you're free but if you're not you should prioritize your life. Stay healthy and you can make post for beta tester recruitment

I've been enjoying it so far, I'm about an hour into the game and am about to take on the first gym. I'm curious about the regional forms I haven't seen yet and even the evolutions of the ones I've caught, so that's a good sign of engagement.

Other than the known bugs, I've also noticed a few typos--most prominently, sometimes NW Corp is written as NY Corp (or NV Corp? It's a little hard to tell with the font). I'm pretty sure this wasn't intentional and it happened twice over the course of my playthrough so far. It was definitely on the "main storyline" path, although I don't recall exactly where they were, unfortunately (I should've written it down).

I don't think the leveling curve feels too bad--I had a little more trouble with Illwyn (if I'm remembering the name right) than I was expecting to, but I still won, so no complaints here. I'll say I'm not used to having to go back and grind a bit before a gym anymore, but I think I've just been spoiled by the recent mainline games; I don't play a ton of fangames (this is actually my first classic fangame in years), so that might be normal.

Overall nice work so far! I'll let you know when I'm further and more of my thoughts, but I wanted to make sure I said something before I forgot while I'm taking a break.

Hey, thanks for the feedback! I'm glad you've been enjoying my game!

Thank you for notifying me about the misspelling of NW Corp, I'll fix it right away!
Originally, NW Corp was called NY Corp, but I decided to change the name fairly deep into development (I'm a english isn't my first language, and I had forgotten that NY was also used as an abbreviation of New York until a friend said so). I thought I had changed all of the instances of it being said, but it seems some slipped past my radar.

Can I continue my save file when there is a new update?

Yes! The saves are stored separately from the game, and can be shared among games if they have the same name, which they will!
So you can play the Demo without any fear of losing your progress.

Just finished the demo, and I'm really loving it so far and I'm looking forward to the updated version. Just one question, does Riolu evolve differently? Because I got it at max happiness, and it still doesn't evolve at all. EDIT: Nvm, I got it to evolve. I forgot it was one of those evolutions that had to be done during the day. Sorry about that.

Not many can be commented because the game still really short but i can say you need to include options for exp all because some people might not like to grind, i personally don't mind although i don't have much time i enjoy it ( some call me masocist because of it lol) other than that maybe city and town have some empty spot that can be filled with something maybe npc or building or landmark. In the end this is good short demo hope see you soon on 3rd gym demo

I also got some fps drom in grass because Pokémon Essentials version 20.1 but this not your fault more on pokemon essential bug

Hey, thanks for the feedback!

About the Exp. All, it should have been given to you after you give back the stolen Z-Generator in Pontypritt's train station, before you take the train down the mountain, and it should be ON by default. Somehow, it seems that you didn't receive it, so I'll have to look into it.

Just finished the demo. Whew! Really cool!

While I know you used a ton of plugins to achieve the QoL, it was much much appreciated to have stuff like the overworld encounters and the quest system working smoothly. In my playthrough, I was constantly excited to see the new Pokemon and I ended up prioritizing them for my party.
Frostrix
was my favourite. My only real nitpick is that I almost quit before getting the EXP All since I'm the type to take it slow and try and get my party evenly levelled before taking on the first challenge and there wasn't any signposting (that I saw) that you were going to get it beforehand. I'm glad I didn't! The environments were very pretty and I loved the choices for the battle screen for each location. The charm system is very cool, and I'm not sure if it's yours originally, but it's implemented well here regardless. I look forward to seeing what other charms may come up!

EDIT: I FORGOT TO MENTION it was really nice to have appearance and pronouns separate and a they/them option, thank you for that one. I know it's common but it's sooooo soo always nice

The writing is fun and typical Pokemon fare, with lots of funny NPC one-offs and such. I feel this aspect is stronger than the main plot so far, as the major characters from the Corp and Team Riot (The first admin... Lolrandom humour is never a hit with me, but that's personal) are less to my taste, but there's plenty of time for me to be wrong! The rivals are both very funny and I have no complaints with them, too. The "training arc" vernacular sounded like a real teenager so that made me smile. I almost want more time to hang out with the friendly one...

The battle with you at the end was very charming and I almost lost lol

As a closing thought, this is overall one of the most enjoyable fangames I've tried in the last year. I'm not a huge connoisseur, but it's a damn fine execution of all the things that really matter in a traditional Pokemon game and I like your funny fakemon, magic person. I'll definitely be watching for a next release!

Bugs noticed:
  • Sometimes on bridges, follower Pokemon would sink into the bridge.
  • Some sprite flickering when overlapping with benches and such.
  • One of the walk cycle sprites facing upwards has stray black pixels floating to the right of it on one frame.

Recommendation:
- Auto-run, if I may be so bold

Wow, thanks for the feedback! I'm glad you enjoyed my game!

First of all, while I'm pleased to know you enjoyed the Fakemon, most of them weren't actually done by me! They've all been collected from Game Jam packs and free use sprites, so if you liked them, I recommend looking at the credits section to see where they're from! I specially endorse you search for Pokémon Legends: The Darkest Day here on the forums, since it's were Hoothoot's new evolution is originally from.

About the Exp. Share, you're not the first person to talk about, so I'm considering giving it earlier to the player. At the very least I'll make it clear that it's obtainable in the game, even if you don't start with it!

Concerning the black pixels on the walk cycle, could you specify where you've seen it? I'm guessing it's on the main character, but it could be on one of the custom npcs too.

I'm glad you've enjoyed the characters! On the Riot Admin, her first version was pretty boring, so I deviced to spice up her character; I may have gone a bit too far with it, but hey, she did make a strong impression in the end. I hope I can make you enjoy the plot as much as the characters in the full game! (And don't worry, there'll be more Dorothy in the next demo!)

Thanks for the compliments!

And yes, the starters have a fixed IV value of 15 in all of their stats and a neutral nature.

Ah that why. Hope full version will be different. I forget to say there's severe lag and fps drop in tall grass when playing for long time, i play more than 3 hours and i got lag in tall grass after that i restart and the lag gone but appear again when i play again for long time, i think this is the Pokémon Essentials ver 20 and below bug

Yeah the tall grass is pokemon essentials bug. We can only hope the next version or full version maybe use version 21. It's not game breaking but annoying
