What is Pokémon Aurora ?
Pokémon Aurora is a Fanmade Pokémon game (like many can be found here) done with RPGmakerXp and Pokémon Essentials (and EBDX mod in particular). The set is in the Nordea Region, a cold but friendly region with many environments.
How is the game built ?
The game has been built like a classic Pokémon game : choose a starter, defeat an evil team, gym leaders and make your way to the Pokémon league. Contrary to some fangames, this is for all ages and players: this means experienced players will enjoy some challenge at the end of the game and post game and love new Pokémon and Pokémon references. But people who never played Pokémon can also learn thanks to a well thought difficulty curve and tips. Indeed some of my friends never played Pokémon and I wanted to share the game with them. But as an experience player, I also love fun gimmicks and challenge, and the game does deliver ! Be ready for between 10 to 16 hours (main storyline) of gameplay depending on your level and reading. (Game in English)
The storyline is similar to Pokémon games with an evil team (though no adult themes) but contrary to most Pokémon game, the scenario is slightly more realistic and secondly it was important for me that all characters, including gym leaders, have roles. So backgrounds are more significant in this game.
Are there Fakemons ?
Yes. At least a dozen unique Fakemons and a dozen more regional fakemons. All animated and with following sprites. Some are in the trailer, others in some art that will be posted in Twitter, the rest will be for you to discover !
What are the features ?
EBDX is used as main mod but there are others. You will find almost every Pokémon from gen 1 to 5 available as well as a few from gen 6 and 7. Unique moves, abilities and objects are also featured.
Musics comme from various Pokémon games.
List of “unique” features:
Dozens of unique fakemons and fakemon regional variants
Obviously a brand new region of more than 150 maps with unique assets as well
Unique characters and story development
New moves and abilities
Animated sprites for all Pokémon, Fakemon and trainers.
