Hello.
This is the first Pokemon game I've ever done with Essentials. It is nowhere near to being completed, as there are a lot of things that still need to be finished (spritework, looping music, the story etc.) but I still want to release a demo that goes up to the 4th gym badge to receive feedback on how the game feels in terms of difficulty, story, changes to the pokemon and anything else.
The Story
You are a 15-year-old from the Nores City of the Celia region. You are currently living at your best friend's house, but, now that you have got your first Pokemon, you will embark on your very own journey to become a Pokemon Champion. There are two evil organizations in this region, one of which you are more familiar with than you'd like to admit.
Features
- You can choose from a large variety of wild Pokemon to catch from Gen 1 to Gen 7.
- New bosses have been made, called "Expert Breeders", who specialize in one certain Egg Group of Pokemon.
- Help out the public and complete Ranger Quests.
- New items have been introduced that change the nature of your Pokemon.
- The "Frozen" status has been changed to the "Frostbitten" status, which is the special version of the "Burned" status
- Rematch gym trainers any time you want before facing the leader of a certain gym.
- A new item has been introduced which makes breeding Pokemon much, much faster.
- Recolored shiny forms.
- Many Pokemon have been buffed through new stats, new abilities or new fanmade evolutions.
- And much more!

Changes
Pokemon Changes (includes changes such as abilities, stats, evolutions, egg groups and new pokemon introduced)
Learnset Changes(includes new moves a pokemon can learn by leveling up, through TM's or Egg Moves)
Other Changes
Note:If you dislike the changes made to the pokemon's typings or the changes made to the type chart, there will be a version of the game that has the standard type chart and all the pokemon with their official typing.
Known & fixed bugs
- (IMPORTANT)Because I updated the demo with a few new Pokemon evolutions, the Pokedex may crash when opened(this only occurs if you already downloaded an older version of the demo and replaced it with a newer one). To fix this, you will need to create a new game that will delete your older save file. I apologize for this error.
- Gave Maulord, Sungardia and Calfeine icon sprites so they wouldn't crush the game whenever the player opens up the party with them in it.
- Fixed the smashable rock near Tunelia's nothern entrance.
- There was a glitch with the trade in one of the Shurro City houses that would break the game. I updated the Mediafire download with a version that fixes this.
