Being a Pokémon Ranger is hard work, so why not take an island vacation? In this new roguelike adventure made with Pokémon Essentials, you take the role of a Pokémon Ranger assisting the enigmatic inventor Bill with testing out his new invention: The Nine Island Little League! Explore Nine Island with your fellow intern Coral; battle modernized takes on the classic Kanto gyms; and catch over a hundred and fifty Pokémon in the demo alone!

Pokémon Little League revolves around battling, so good teambuilding and resource-management are key to a winning run. Multiple weaker or dissatisfactory Pokémon have been given various buffs to become niche or even core members of your team if given the chance. Make sure to pick and choose your team wisely, however, as your money for Pokéballs, Potions, and Rare Candies is limited.

Being a roguelike, every playthrough of Little League is different! Not only are the gyms shuffled around and encountered in a random order, but I've handcrafted teams for each iteration (for a more balanced experience). Additionally, there are six random events that can occur after each gym in this demo, with more planned for the full game. These can range anywhere between battling with Blue to playing Three-Ball Monte! There's more that I'd love to tell you about, but I think that may ruin some of the surprise... so if you want to know more, click on the spoiler below at your OWN PERIL!!
Demo - 4 gyms, 6 events, 168 Pokémon, A handful of ability and move reworks / buffs, minor Team Rocket involvement, and a glimpse at postgame content
Full Game - 8 Gyms + Elite Four + Champion, 20 events, 200+ Pokémon, planned deeper involvement with bad moves or abilities, Story Mode (with more fleshed-out Team Rocket plot) & Freeplay Mode, Postgame Tournament & possibly more (focusing on main game first)

And so you don't get blindsided by this, Pokémon can only learn two moves each! Don't worry, this goes for opponents too. I decided this would be a challenging yet fun way to test not only my own team building skills, but also those of my players. I'll likely give you the option to disable this in the full version if it really isn't your thing. But give it a shot, you might find that it's quite fun to play around!

So that's my sales pitch. I made this game on a whim for my roommate Ben to play, since he said he'd never played a fangame before. Bluntly speaking, I've had a hell of a good time making Little League (staying up until 2am working on a title screen will do that to ya), and I'd love for you to give it a shot. As stated, this is only a taste of what I have to offer, so if you have anything you particularly like or dislike about it, PLEASE let me know! I'd love to hear your feedback.

And trainer, don't forget to have some fun while you're at it. After all, that's why we do this.

I'll be releasing updates to the demo as issues are reported. I've released a day one patch to fix one minor and one major bug (which I didn't encounter while testing). If you find a bug, please report it so that I can fix it as soon as possible!
