Pokémon Little League is looking for players to test and give feedback on the latest build!
This update includes a vast amount of new content compared to the demo, so new player or old, please give it a shot and tell me what you think!
(There's also a speedrunning event in the discord with a MONEY prize for fastest time to beat!)

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Being a Pokémon Ranger is hard work, so why not take an island vacation? In this new roguelike adventure made with Pokémon Essentials, you take the role of a Pokémon Ranger assisting the enigmatic inventor Bill with testing out his new invention: The Nine Island Little League! Explore Nine Island with your fellow intern Coral; battle modernized takes on the classic Kanto gyms; and train over 120 Pokémon lines in the current demo alone!

Pokémon Little League revolves around battling, so good teambuilding and resource-management are key to a winning run. Multiple weaker or dissatisfactory Pokémon have been given various buffs to become niche or even core members of your team if given the chance. Make sure to pick and choose your team wisely, however, as your money for Pokéballs, Potions, and Rare Candies is limited.

Being a roguelike, every playthrough of Little League is different! Not only are the gyms shuffled around and encountered in a random order, but I've handcrafted teams for each iteration (for a more balanced experience). Additionally, there are six random events that can occur after each gym in this demo, with more planned for the full game. These can range anywhere between battling with Blue to playing Three-Ball Monte! There's more that I'd love to tell you about, but I think that may ruin some of the surprise... so if you want to know more, click on the spoiler below at your OWN PERIL!!

Public Test Build 2 - 6 gyms; 10 events; 248 Pokémon; plenty of ability, move, and Pokémon reworks; story & freeplay modes; and Celebi gacha.
Next Public Test Build - 8 Gyms; 15 events; ~300 Pokémon; possible gameplay restructuring; and more system polish.

What's new between the last build and this one? Well, I'm glad you asked!
There are two new gyms, a PROPER random encounter pool system to guarantee replay variety, a gacha shrine to Celebi for Pokémon & item rewards, and proper distinctions between story & freeplay mode. There's more too, like Pokémon rebalances, bugfixes, etc, but we have changelogs in the files now so you can read about that to your hearts' content.

So that's my sales pitch. I made this game on a whim for my roommate Ben to play, since he said he'd never played a fangame before. Bluntly speaking, I've had a hell of a good time making Little League (staying up until 2am working on a title screen will do that to ya), and I'd love for you to give it a shot. As stated, this is only a taste of what I have to offer, so if you have anything you particularly like or dislike about it, PLEASE let me know! I'd love to hear your feedback.

And trainer, don't forget to have some fun while you're at it. After all, that's why we do this.
Without all that being said... DOWNLOAD TEST BUILD TWO!

I'll be releasing updates to the demo as issues are reported. I've released a day one patch to fix one minor and one major bug (which I didn't encounter while testing). If you find a bug, please report it so that I can fix it as soon as possible!
