Released Pokémon Samba ReBirth [3 Gym Demo]

Pokémon Samba ReBirth is a revitalized take on the original Pokémon Samba fangame, bringing a fresh coat of polish to the "Brazil inspired Pokémon game". Revisit the vibrant Samba Region as you embark once more on a journey to collect 8 badges and challenge Champion Armstrong — now with enhanced visuals, updated mechanics, and a host of new features that elevate the experience while staying true to the spirit of the original.

Many legends still echo throughout the Samba Region — tales of a chimera that watches over the Evergreen Jungle, or magical faes that are said to have been blessed by Arceus itself. These stories, passed down through generations, serve to guide the hearts of the goodwilled citizens and warn those who stray from the path.

Though folklore plays a key role in shaping the region's identity, the people of Samba also rely on the strength and protection of the 8 Gym Leaders — powerful trainers elected by the people, tasked with safeguarding the region and challenging trainers who dare take on Samba's Pokémon League Challenge.

Your journey begins at a special date — it's your 16th birthday, and with it comes the opportunity to become a Licensed Pokémon Trainer. Joined by your childhood friends, Marco and Clara, you'll travel across the Samba Region to take on the Gym Leaders, meet new friends and foes, earn your place in the annual Pokémon League Tournament, and perhaps even challenge Champion Armstrong himself for the title.

But not all is as peaceful as it seems. The shadow of Team Gold looms over the region. These shady profiteers seem to be plotting to dominate the Samba region by disrupting the sacred Hidden Masters. What is their true plan — and can you stop them before they reshape the future of Samba forever?

The Samba region returns in this remake as a vibrant, diverse land, filled with deserts, mountains, jungles, and more — each home to unique Pokémon. Its cities are just as varied, from the academic hub of Solanum to the battle-hardened Nanuza. With a growing mix of people and cultures from around the world, Samba has evolved into a rich, multicultural region, with 158 new Pokémon to be found.

Just wanted to know, are the back sprites useing the front sprites normal?

now here some extras text cause i need to have 100 characters

 

[amandacurvelob]

I love the fire starter, he's the cutest in the world!!! This game is so colorfull, i love seeing all the details and references to Brazil in the cities and little houses.
Amei os detalhes e cuidado de ter posto algumas mecânicas, que as vezes deixaram a desejar nos jogos de Pokemon. Além do estilo que ficaram as batalhas ser diferente, e muito bem feito!! Os Designs estão lindos e dá muita vontade de ver logo as evoluções e shines. I'm really loving this demo!!

Yup! Being a one person team, I've had to cut a lot of corners when it came to spriting and animation, and therefore there's only front-facing sprites for the Pokémon.
