Description
In this story, set roughly 20 years before the events of Pokémon Red and Pokémon Blue, you play as the childhood friend of Team Rocket Boss Giovanni.
Growing up in Saffron City, you and Giovanni will traverse Kanto and Johto together, challenging for gym badges and championships along the way. You will witness firsthand the backstory of Giovanni, watching from the sidelines as your friend ventures down a dark path, turning to a life of crime.
As you explore Kanto and Johto, you will see the vast difference 20 years can make to a region. You will find characters and references to future games hidden everywhere you look. Enjoy exploring the Pokémon world long before the stories of legendary Pokémon trainers such as Red and Blue.
Features
- Set roughly 20 years before the events of Pokémon Red and Pokémon Blue versions.
- Explore both Kanto and Johto (current release includes all of Kanto, eight badges & Kanto League)
- Explore the regional differences between the Kanto and Johto you know, to the Kanto and Johto of old!
- Explore various areas before their demise, such as Pokémon Mansion and the Kanto Power Plant!
- Seek out the original 16 Gym Leaders and Elite Four, hidden around the region as Easter Eggs.
- Predominantly Kanto Pokémon, with other Pokémon from all other regions available in limited numbers.
- Find out the backstory of Giovanni, the criminal mastermind behind Team Rocket!
- Boss battles! Hunt and beat powerful wild Boss Pokémon for special rewards!
- Side quests – talk to NPCs to discover various side quests with various rewards.
- Generation 1 and 2 soundtracks, including soundtracks from other Pokémon games.
- Speed up button – press Q to accelerate the game. Please use it sparingly!
- Level Caps to prevent over-leveling, and late-game repeatable trainers within Victory Road for late-game grinding.
- A big plot twist to end the game!
- DaleFails developer house! Find and battle me once you’ve beaten the Kanto League!
The current release features eight gym badges, the Kanto league, and all of Kanto – feedback wanted!
I do plan to include Johto with a full continuation of the story, eight more gym badges, more boss battles, and a new league challenge, but this will take a long time to produce. Please enjoy the Kanto release of this game, as I am unsure if I will return to complete Johto in full!
