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-

-> 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.

Yeah it's pokemon essentials bug. We can only hope the next version or full version maybe use version 21. It's not game breaking but annoying
While it would be nice if the full version at least got it, we might still be just fine with the starters by that point. A post game might have a way to increase IV's after all. Either that, or there could always be a certain mon in the late game with a rare item drop that does the same. Also, does this bug affect bred starters as well? If it's a yes, that certainly is very annoying.
