Released Pokémon Hibernation

This project has a release available. The full version is still a work in progress.
Project Status
Demo
Project Version
1.5.0
HAnUDTg.png


Story Info
You mysteriously find yourself in a forest-based maze of a region you've barely heard of with no recollection of your past besides two voices who seemingly sent you there. With few items in hand, you seek to explore the region of Hibernia to unlock your past, newfound goals and just where you were sent to.

WARNING - If you have a save from V1, it is not compatible with V1.5 & beyond!

Features
  • Very curated & small regional Dex & new Pokémon and forms from the Hibernia region as well!
  • There is a gym-trial equivalent but not quite in a 'traditional' form. Play to find out what I mean!
  • 1/128 shiny rate.
  • Choose between hard and soft level caps!
  • Revised learn sets through Level Up, TM and Tutor. New moves & refined move compatability too!
  • Choose between Hard & Soft Caps along with an item to check the current cap!
  • Multiple saves & backup saves.
  • Time is unreal/ingame based rather than your clock's system.
  • Infinite Repel & PC system added to the PokeGear.
  • Hidden abilities are 1/6 (if wild) & 1/3 (if gift).
  • 96 total TRs (called TMs ingame) currently. More may be added later and are now craftable with an obtained-very-early item too!
  • The player can speed up with :AUX2 (correlating to W by default) & edit move sets, items+ in a Pokémon's summary with :USE (correlating to C, Space, Return by default).
The demo currently ends at the first 'trial'.

I'm guessing I finished the first trial and it really leaves me wanting to play longer( it's a positive thing). So far, I really like what you have. The new forms of pokemon are great, especially the new tyrunt(tyrunt is my favorite fossil pokemon and seeing your variant is awesome.). I like how your negative answers are allowed and reacted to, not just glossed over or forced to reply in a positive manner. I like seeing the double battles where possible because I can actually utilize pokemon that typically aren't great battlers like audino-who was really helpful in a certain battle. All in all great job!

V1.0.3 Changelog:
  • There is now a party page showing a Pokemon's IVs & current states.
  • The player now starts with a Hex TM instead of Hypnosis.
  • After defeating Cerise, the guard disappears & she gives you the TM Crafter instead.
  • Minor graphical issues.
 
Just played through the demo! I had fun with it, I think for sure the big standout for me was the fakemon designs. The designs themselves and the actual spritework are both amazing, so great job to the team! Personally I was a bit lost with the story, it felt like things kept happening that didn't have any reason to them yet, so it just felt random. But I can see that the game is building up a mystery. I think if some of the way the story is presented is just smoothed out a bit and not as rushed, it would improve a lot.

Great potential here, and once again, really stellar work on the fakemon. Looking forward to how this project evolves.
 
Still my fav fakemon design, I'm not a big fan of fakemons but you've managed to change my mind, keep up the good work bcz I know u guys work really hard at everything.
 
V1.5 Changelog:
  • Almost a complete dialogue overhaul
  • Added a new location (Rush Railway).
  • Huge sequence revision, and with it, Karrie's segment has been expanded a little.
  • Edited music for various areas, including the intro.
  • 3 custom Pokemon added in!
V1 saves are not compatible with V1.5 nor will be with V2.
