About
I’ve been thinking about making a Pokemon game for a few years actually, since I always enjoyed playing fanmade games, but I never really had the time to do anything of sorts. But then 2020 happened and we all suddenly had an overabundance of time. The original concept of this dates way back and it started as a theoretical sequel to X/Y. Originally I would’ve wanted to map the entirety of Kalos for this, but then I realized Lumiose City is a thing and also that Kalos’ entire geography was really bad for what I wanted to do with it. I eventually decided to port it into a new region and over time removed all the references to X/Y (well most of them anyway).
This is my first forray into Pokemon Essentials and as such this game is very basic when you break it down, without any groundbreaking or dazzling features. My main focus was the story as well as, well, getting the whole thing to work. I might stop this paragraph right here though, I realize I’m not making the best (hypothetical) sales pitch here.
Features
- All Pokemon Gen 1 to Gen 8 are included
- Almost every Pokemon is obtainable
- New Region to explore
- New villianous team, the Pokemon Paladins
- Gyms don’t focus on Types, but rather mechanics, gameplay concepts or certain subgroups of Pokemon
- Fairy-Type and Mega Evolution included, every Mega Stone is obtainable before the Elite Four (except for Mewtwo and Diancie)
- Level scaling is balanced around the new EXP-Share (EXP All, if you will) (it’s effectively a 90° angle at some points due to this)
- A rather high difficulty in battles (at least for me it is)
- Special Trainers in every Pokemon Center to help with grinding
- 120 TM, that serve as a condensation of Gen7/Gen8 TMs and TRs
- Every Route and City has an encounter or Gift Pokemon of some kind (for Nuzlocke purposes)
- Full Plot, 8 Gyms and Pokemon League included in the current version
- Post-Game includes legendary encounters, a plethora of difficult double battles and lots and lots of pseudoscience
- Speed-Up Feature is bound to the Q button by default (I dunno where else to put this in this post, but I gotta mention it somewhere, so here you go.)
