Description
Pokèmon Minimal is a rogue-lite Pokèmon game. This game is designed to be fast paced and all about battling. Your goal is to rebuild a town by battling through hordes of trainers and gym leaders on your adventures to fight the Elite Four. Each adventure is akin to Mt. Battle but it’s not 100 trainers.
There of course is a catch. Lose one battle and it’s back to the start with you and if a Pokèmon faints it’s fainted for good! There is no grinding on your adventure, it is a simple flow of encountering a wild Pokèmon and getting into a battle. Rinse and Repeat that till you find yourself in front of the Elite Four!
The Pokèmon in this game were all completely rebalanced. Now that’s a monumental task that would have taken an extraordinary amount of time. So instead I spend twice that time writing an AI to rebalance all of the Pokèmon. This of course has led to some completely silly things which you will get to explore on your adventures.
Pokèmon Minimal has 4 different game modes for you to discover, all of which can be completed in single or double battles. 85 unique passive items to help you on your various runs. 13 upgradeable buildings that will help you on your future adventures. Around 12,000 different trainers for you to battle which ensures that every run will be different from the last. About 300 different gym battles to partake in with you getting the choice in what gyms you fight and what order you fight them in!
