Pokemon Silicon v0.4.2

Information about the game​

• This game was made with Pokemon Essentials v21 in RPG Maker XP
• This game was balanced mostly around the “Hard” difficulty, but hopefully the Easy and Medium ones are still fun and approachable.
• This demo covers the first 3 gyms plus a story section afterwards
• The structure is mostly similar to the mainline Pokemon games, but with some twists - more story, 2 type gym leaders, side quests.
• Hopefully the message of this game is Fascism is bad rather than regulation is bad.

Mechanics​

• Gen 8 mechanics are used with some alterations (e.g. snow+hail are combined)
• Non-easy difficulties have a level cap that increases with major milestones in the game
• Difficulty descriptions:
  • Hard - Level cap of the next major battles Pokemon, all in-battle events are enabled which further increase the difficulty, SET battle style only, EVs disabled (vitamin items still work!)
  • Medium - Level cap of the next major battle’s Pokemon + 2, some in-battle events are enabled, SET or SWITCH battle style allowed, EVs disabled (vitamin items still work!)
  • Easy - No level cap, no in-battle events, nearly infinite out of combat healing, SET or SWITCH battle style allowed, EVs enabled.
• Trainer Pokemon from all generations are in the game, and trainers have very diverse sets of Pokemon (which are sometimes illegal)
• HMs come in the form of “Government Permits” and do not require any Pokemon to know the moves (still need the permit though!)
• Fast travel using trains in various cities
• Some Pokemon have been altered for balance reasons or personal preference (starters have been altered to have same BST/evolve at the same level)
  • Trade and happiness evolutions now happen at specific levels
  • Held item/use item evolutions are only available passed a specific level
• The game autosaves and has multiple save slots

Bugs/Issues​

• I tried to give credit to the various artists/people I used assets from, but I didn’t actually do this until about halfway through development, so some names are likely left out. If you see someone missing in the credits.txt file, please call it out.
• Gastlys past Route 4 might crash your game? I was not able to reproduce this though
• Playing as the Bidoof might have some unintended side effects
• Currently do not have a region map, but it looks something like this
