Story

After a mysterious mass extinction in the Cyniir region, Pokémon were sparse for centuries. Seven years ago, Supreme Leader Gharal initiated Operation Migration, sending his ruthless Pokémon Rangers across the seas to other regions to migrate hundreds of species by force. Tensions with Paldea halted the operation, so the second phase has begun: bringing in Pokémon from other dimensions.

Scientists on Neon Island have discovered how to remotely harvest bits of DNA from extradimensional Pokémon. But their experiments have led to unusual anomalies in the region that some think are full gateways into those dimensions. And an ancient cult has resurfaced, believing these anomalies to be signs that their ascension to godhood is near.

All this has led to a scientific boom throughout Cyniir. The eccentric Professor Ginkgo is developing a new lab in Bismuth Village, and as top of your class at the Naranja Academy in Paldea, you’ve been sent to Cyniir to help. The biggest questions he seeks to answer: why did Pokémon in Cyniir go extinct? And could it happen again?

Discovering seemingly endless floors beneath the lab, Ginkgo decides to fund your scientific endeavors by turning it into a service hub that will revitalize Bismuth Village. But rumors say the town is cursed, and there may be more secrets hiding deep beneath the lab…

Features

  • 950+ Pokémon available; all through Gen 8 (plus some Hisui, Gen 9, and Fakémon evolutions), start the game with a National Dex; Mega Evolutions and alternate forms available, with a plot-related reason why so many Pokémon are present in one region (~641 implemented in v0.3.1)

  • New region with 8 Gyms + 8 Dojos, using challenging custom movesets and a tough Elite 4, plus rematches for them and most trainers (5 Gyms + 5 Dojos implemented + rematches for Gym + Dojo 1 & 2)

  • Reputation system, 6 factions that affect the plot and your rewards - work with the anarchist Team Autonomy, the communist Team Unity, the capitalist Team Fortune, the fascist Pokémon Rangers of Cyniir’s government, the mysterious Fellowship of the Ascendants, and/or another secret faction lying in wait…

    iNycCN3.png


  • Recruit system to build out a gargantuan hub and home base for shops and services, inspired by Suikoden and Legion Saga; upgrade it in a variety of ways; unlock deeper and deeper basement floors of your Research Lab as you progress, renovate them, and populate them with 40+ recruits (20 available in v0.3.1)

    4CuymNF.png


  • Crafting system with 100+ unlockable recipes (62 available in v.0.3.0); many Pokémon hold (and drop) crafting items

    DSWcHHG.png


  • Study system that provides your character with new perks and other benefits the more you learn and experience in the world, ex. expertise in Hacking lets you break into computers, Negotiation gives you a word up in negotiation events, Botany gets you extra Apricorns, Finances gives you access to investment machines, etc.

    dLuVHB4.png


  • Built-in quest log to keep track of hundreds of quests and side quests (124 currently completable, many more to come); some have multiple solutions (ex. unlock a locked door by bringing a Klefki or a Pokémon that knows Thief, crafting a Lockpick, or negotiating with the person holding the key)

    fmccAey.png


  • Combat updates including Z-Moves, new Mega Evolutions, Strong and Agile Styles, statuses from Hisui, and 70+ new moves and Abilities

    pRlOpCa.png


  • A variety of useful Pokégear apps to discover, including ones that show type matchups, access an array of Move Tutors, track available wild encounters, connect with NPCs for bond bonuses, and access a portable PC, plus customizable themes for different Pokégear displays

    1GnoWOa.png


  • Every NPC has something to offer, no more useless one-liner NPCs - my least favorite quality of all RPGs!: get usable advice, quests, items, Pokémon, crafting recipes, new mechanics, Pokégear apps, faction reputation, recruits and upgrades for your lab, eggs, battles, clues to help solve quests, Move Tutors, and more; if an NPC seems like they provide nothing, they’ll likely offer something later (or you’ve made a choice that’s closed them off from you!)

  • Interacting with items that normally gave nothing of substance may now provide new benefits (ex. books, TVs, sinks, fridges, binoculars, etc.)

    YZ2dXFy.png


  • Choices matter; many different decisions you make will affect the plot, your standing with the six factions, how tough battles are, what rewards you’ll earn, how negotiations go, and what ways the world will change: Will you privatize the Poké Centers? Will you support the Poké Ranch strike? Will you insult the Supreme Leader on live TV?

    Ou5ksiA.png


  • 100 TMs, 100 TRs, and 100 SMs to customize your movesets even further, with revised eligibility so more Pokémon are able to learn more moves; SMs are all former signature moves that were previously usable by only one or very few Pokémon

    kw6zSNo.png


  • Reworked HM system; some obstacles only require an HM Device, but others require consumable HM Charges, offering limitations to HM field moves but without requiring HM slaves or entirely blocking progress

    cRSaBuf.png


  • 7 new types (Sound, Cosmic, Food, Mystic, Slime, Chaos, Dream), adds a variety of new moves, new evolutions, move type changes, and type changes for 250+ Pokémon; there are far fewer single-type Pokémon

    9VwVr19.png


  • Some Pokémon type changes and rebalances, boosts to weaker Pokémon like Magcargo, Ledian, and Tropius (among others), expanded movesets for many Pokémon, as well as overall type rebalances, including buffs to Bug, Ice, and Psychic and nerfs to Water, Fairy, and Steel; nearly every type combination is represented

    xi7AINX.png


  • Weather system to keep battles interesting, using seven location-based biomes that ensure certain areas only get certain types of weather

  • Social bonds with 25 NPCs, granting you XP, catch rate, and shiny rate bonuses for each of the 25 types as your choices and actions connect you with certain characters

    PFolWs3.png


  • No day/night system; no more limitations to when Pokémon can be caught or evolved, play whenever you want

  • New ways of acquiring shiny and other different-colored Pokémon

    aTfxONG.png


  • Loads of collectibles; not only can you catch 'em all, you'll collect charms (and slots for your Charm Case), recruits, Mega Stones, Z-Crystals, plushies for your room, Diancie Jewels, Move Tutors, birthsign beads, Berries, Triple Triad cards, and more - and get rewarded for it!

  • An assortment of QOL upgrades including quicksave, multisave, and autosave, egg groups in the UI, new evolution stones for easier evolutions, a name randomizer, IV/EV indicators, unlockable happiness tracking, text skipping, in-battle move and stat change details, and a turbo speed toggle

    JBi46zH.png


  • Legendary breeding (with plot-related reason), new Natures, moves, and Abilities, a BerryDex, a Charm Case, Triple Triad, and numerous other special concepts and features!

Notes

This is a one-person project, and I don’t have a strong eye for design. This may not be the game for you if you’re looking for exceptional graphics or mapmaking, and I know there are mismatched sprites and some bad recolors, but my hope is that it’s feature- and content-rich enough to make up for what it’s missing in visuals.

There is a lot of additional content planned - so it’ll be a long while until this is in its finished state.

ALSO: with the new type changes, rebalances, and new moves, I strongly recommend using the new battle info screens liberally (press M when selecting a move to see type effectiveness and press N at any time to see the types of all active Pokémon).

I frequently have new ideas that have me revamping earlier content, and there’s more story content to be implemented - so expect that save files won’t be compatible after updates.

I'm not currently looking for additional dev team members, but I may be open to that further down the line.

I'd love to hear any feedback that anyone has to offer, good or bad. Especially if you find any bugs!

If you get stuck anywhere, want to know something about the project, or want any specific guidance toward completing tasks/catching Pokémon/finding Crafting Plans/etc., let me know here or in the Discord!

on which version of pokemon esstinals this gameis made
 
v0.1.0 is now available! 9-14 hours of game content that lets you play all the way through Gym 3 & Dojo 3.

Let me know if you have any feedback!
 
This looks incredible and very ambitious! Will try out the demo sometime soon and drop feedback here, unless you have a discord which would likely be easier to manage.
 
v0.1.1 is now available!
Incorporated a lot of feedback, rebalanced the leveling entirely for every trainer and encounter, added new QOL changes, fixed a ton of bugs (including a few game-breaking ones), plus a new area beyond the third Gym and Dojo with additional quests, Pokémon, and trainers.

Join the Discord if you have questions, additional feedback, or bug reports.

I'm aiming to get a v0.2.0 demo out before summer that will play through the fourth Gym and Dojo, but I'll continue to make updates as I find bugs and further develop the existing content.

Thanks for playing!

  • Fixed the movement speed of some Silicon City citizens

Misc.:
  • Moved NPC from Terbium Crossing Poké Center to Selenium Town
  • Moved items in Bromine Mountain
  • Removed some purple rocks
  • Made rocks broken by Rock Smash Charges permanently stay broken
  • Added the beginning of a new quest in Silicon City
  • Made it easier to break into Lucius’s shed in Silicon City by adding another entrance to his garden
Known issues:
  • Rematches have not been rebalanced yet and may be extra difficult
  • No colorblind fix for the third gym - DM me if you need the puzzle solution for now
  • A couple invisible tiles that you can bump into near the lake in Silicon City - I have no idea what’s causing this

v0.2.1 has arrived!
I've been working on this a lot, and there's plenty of new content, but the game ends right before you get to the city with the 5th Gym and Dojo. When that city is complete, I'll release the full v0.3.0.

But I'm releasing this now to address a lot of bugs and show some major updates to the game - the biggest being the handful of new types I've added. I realize new types can be controversial, but I really wanted to mix things up and have fewer monotypes - plus, if you haven't noticed, I really like to overdo things.

Join the Discord if you have questions, feedback, or bug reports.

Check the Pokédex and the type chart to learn about everything that's changed. But beware of spoilers!

Thanks for playing!

v0.3.1 is here!
There were quite a few major bugs, including some that were blocking content toward the end of the demo, so I've decided to release an update.

I've also added a lot of new content: a revamped Pokégear with a bunch of new apps, graphics that indicate new quests, social bonds with NPCs, a total update to Move Tutors, new study bonuses, new Abilities and many more Hidden Abilities, plus some new areas, including a fully new town.

Can't make it to the next major city or Gym yet - but most Gyms and Dojos have had their teams entirely reworked - and now there aren't any bugs blocking your progress toward the rematches (or the Safari Zone Challenge).

Because of all the changes, particularly to the Pokégear and Berrydex, previous saves are unfortunately not compatible.

Join the Discord if you have questions, feedback, or bug reports.

Check the updated Pokédex and the type chart to learn about all Pokémon changes. Beware of spoilers.
