Released (Kanto complete!) Pokémon: Giovanni Origins

Welcome to Pokémon: Giovanni Origins

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 first hand 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 the future games hidden everywhere you look. Enjoy exploring the Pokémon world long before the stories of legendary Pokémon trainers such as Red and Blue.

Key features:

Spoiler

• 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 soundtrack, including soundtracks from other Pokémon games.
• Speed up button - press Q to accelerate the game. Please use sparingly!
• Level Caps to prevent over-levelling, and late game repeatable trainers within Victory Road for late game grinding.
• DaleFails developer house! Find and battle me once you've beat 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 unsure if I will return to complete Johto in full!

Thank you again to all the above - these are some incredible resources.

Hey all, I'm still around!

Thank you so much for the kind words, glad to see plenty of fellow Pokémon fans enjoying my work

Here's a few screenshots from the Johto portion of the game (work in progress, screenshots are subject to change!). Bonus points to anybody who recognises the boat...!

How can I find Lapras? The only in-game mention was from the old lady in Celadon, and I can't find any other clue than that

Lapras is a time limited mission - head north of Lavender Town. If the Rocket Grunts are gone... you're out of luck!

I'm trying to play this game on Joiplay but when I first battle Giovanni it starts the rival music but the battle doesn't start is this fixable or is pokemon Giovanni origins not playable on Joiplay

Not sure tbh but others have played it the game using JoiPlay. I don't use JoiPlay so I can't help further...

Yea I asked you a while ago on Instagram still thank you so much tho, great game to play really enjoyed it

Looks like I linked to my old project! Whoops!

Linked is fixed.

I promise the game is less buggy than my linking of files

How do I get past the fight with young Giovanni after we got our starters? The rival battle theme plays but we just stare at each other.

Hey! Thanks for playing! I'm going to guess you are playing on JoiPlay? This is not a bug in the game, so it must a problem with the system you are using or how you are playing the game.

It's looking great man! Looking forward to seeing it progress

For the ship, the only thing I can think of is the

Spoiler

S.S. Cactus, which was the wrecked ship in the Hoenn games, though the layout looks a tad different. I can't think of any other ships in the series where you can travel outside of it like that, but I could be wrong! If that isn't it, I give up haha.
