Story
This started as an art project by spriter and artist DazzyDeer back in May, where he began designing a Fakemon dex based off of randomly rolled prompts (the “QuarantineDex” project on 4chan’s /vp/). The goal of the project is to make the most out of the nasty situation that global quarantine is, so the project started small in scope – just replace gen 2’s roster with the fakemon – but grew to add features like the phys/spec split, and became a collaborative effort with randoms on /vp/ who contributed minisprites, assets, and more. Experience a region with completely new Pokemon! You never know what you’ll find next!
Features
- 200+ new Pokemon, complete with unique cries and icons.
- New trainer classes to challenge, new music to listen to, and new areas to explore.
- An entirely new, revamped tileset.
- New quests and collectibles, such as Trading Cards.
- A revamped HM system, learning the moves is no longer required for traversal.

FAQs
Why are the people blue?
You can’t just ask someone why they’re blue…but Gen 1.5 style, ala Spaceworld demos.
Why is it called Quarantine? Is this political?
This project started during the global quarantine, the name stuck.
Why isn’t VBA working?
Please use BGB or something.
How much content is in the demo?
Well beyond the Elite Four. Johto is packed with much more content, and there’s loads in Kanto to do as well.
Where is the move reminder?
In Cherrygrove City. Be sure to bring Poke Dolls.
Where is the move deleter?
There’s an extra move deleter NPC in the Ecruteak City Pokemon Center
Why did Constrict deal super effective damage?
Please look at the “important move changes” listed above.
Why is there this one very specific high-level wild pokemon early on?
Talk to NPCs 🙂
How do I get rid of the goose?
It functions like the Sudowoodo in vanilla Crystal. If you haven’t played Vanilla Crystal, talk to all the NPCs south of the goose. Then go to the flower shop and make sure you have a bike.
