In Development Pokémon Solar Eclipse

​

---

Features
​

A regional dex containing 374 handpicked Pokémon up to generation 9. Completely customisable difficulty and gameplay settings; level caps, little cup, or simply more exp., tailor the game to your wants and needs anytime. Share your Trainer with other players to appear in their game to battle or chat. Ability to send gift Pokémon to other players. Take pictures of you and your party and edit them using frames, effects, weather, etc. A Game Corner featuring a variety of mini-games such as jump rope, a trivia quiz or even a good ol’ card game. Many different Battle Facilities, including a tournament and roguelike colosseum. Built-in Speed Up. Quick Save, Auto Save and Multiple Save Slots. Remappable controls. A focus on capturing the feeling of the main series games, especially the DS-era.

Rebalance Changes
​

Many Pokémon have received changes to their stats, typing and abilities. There is a healthy balance between popular fan-made changes as well as our own.​ Type chart changes; Bug- and Ice-types have received buffs to let them keep up with other types.​ Certain abilities have had their effect changed to be more useful, such as Swarm now always being active.​ Certain items have had their effect changed; most Poké Balls are now more straightforward to use or offer different effects.​ Many evolutions now take place at a more reasonable level or had their method changed; any trade evolutions either require only their respective item or a Linking Cord.​ Freeze has been changed to work like Frostbite from Legends Arceus.​

Quality of Life Changes
​

No need to teach HMs. Field moves, like Surf, Rock Smash, Dig and Fly, can be used without taking up a move slot.​ All Trainer battles can be forfeited, and running from wild battles will always succeed.​ IVs and EVs are visible on the summary screen.​ All your difficulty settings are visible on the back of your Trainer Card.​ The Advancepedia, an unlockable add-on for the Pokédex, will give you detailed information on any caught Pokémon such as stats, moves or weaknesses.​ The DexNav lets you easily search for a specific encounter, with the ability to also search for hidden abilities or with higher shiny odds.​ A Day-Care that lets you find eggs with specific qualities, like specific gender, hidden abilities or better IVs.​ Stat changes are visibly displayed during battle.​ Move effectiveness can be displayed during battle to see how effective your moves are against the opponent.​ ... And a lot more to make your life much easier.​

Plot

Welcome to the Solaria region, a region with rich history and a vast and varied landscape. You'll be exploring grassy plains, mystical forests, ruined wastelands, towns of forever fall, magical swamps and much more. In ancient history, the region was ruled by the Solar King and Sunne Hero. That age has long passed, but their influence can still be felt; it is believed that the cosmic energy of the Sunne Hero still flows through Solaria to this day, influencing the region and granting its Pokémon enhanced strength.​

​

You are a graduate from Gardenia Academy. Having graduated at the top of your class, you have been honourably chosen as a Gym Challenger to partake in the region's traditional Gym Challenge. Your goal is to obtain all 8 Gym Badges and become the region's prestigious Solar Monarch.​

​

Giltbert is your childhood friend, classmate and fellow Gym Challenger. He has a strong positive attitude and is always willing to aid the people around him.​

​

Diana is another Gym Challenger and the top student of your rival class. She is a bit distant, has a no-nonsense attitude and is serious about her ambitions of becoming the next Solar Monarch.​

​

As Gym Challenger, many people will be eager to lend you their support, including Sol Inc.—known informally as Team Sol. They are an organisation dedicated to helping the Pokémon of Solaria awaken their power.​

Development Details

Pokémon Solar Eclipse is a Pokémon fangame developed in RPG Maker XP using the Pokémon Essentials v19.1 starter kit and MKXP. This game started development in 2022 by two friends wanting to make something based on an old RP group we had. We originally only wanted to entertain our friends, but now we hope to deliver a fun and polished experience that captures the same joy we have for this series.

Currently there are no plans to release a public demo and we will instead release the full game when it is complete. We’d highly appreciate people willing to playtest and provide feedback; if you’re interested then feel free to send a message! (Discord: @petibuns)

I see many game in development get posted with amazing graphics like this but in the end keep in development. I only can hope you're stay healthy and good luck

 

[safr]

Because you use Pokémon Essentials v19.1 there known bug that make the game have fps drop after long time of playing when walking on tall grass. Usually when playing more than 3 hour. Good luck on the game

Thank you for the compliment! The main game is pretty much complete, so we're currently working on the post-game and fine tuning. We're hoping to release the game soon

Thanks for the heads up! Yeah v20+ seemed a lot more smooth when it comes to performance and we did consider upgrading, but with the plugins we use and the progress we've already made it'd be too much sadly. Hoping it won't be too much of a problem!

 

[adamcerious]

Wow, so many features! This looks cool as hell AND it's almost ready for release?! Damn, very impressive.

 

[Jona1]

I cant wait for this game to be out too woo!! i am happy this fangame sounds so awesome I will enjoy this fangame too
