Description
A short cozy puzzle hack, from the perspective of a Pokemon Breeder. Find the best matchup for Pokemon and Trainer!
About this hack
Play as Millie, a novice Pokemon Breeder who has a dream to help with Pokemon conservation. To do that however, she needs to pass a test given to her by Professor Elm; Pay attention to the personality of her Pokemon and the requests of the Trainers she meets to find the most suitable pairing! You can complete the entire game in around an hour. The game is not meant to be too difficult, so anyone can pick up and play!
Pokemon Homestead is inspired by various pieces of Pokemon media and games that depict the more slice of life, casual side of living alongside Pokemon, such as Pokemon Breeder Mini, My Pokemon Ranch, Pokemon Concierge, etc!
There are no battles here. Instead, the focus is entirely on caring for your Pokémon, keeping them happy, learning about their individual personalities, and finding the right companions for them.
Note
This hack was made as a competition entry for TARC3!
