Lead developer of vanguard here, thank you for showcasing the game! It was updated a couple weeks ago and features a few things that weren't mentioned here: 30 starters (gen 1-9) Gen 9 pokemon 150+ regional variants
I really like the fakemon designs but there are a lot of bugs and wrong English translation for a lot of the dialogues Hopefully the bugs will be fixed because I really like this game!
Hey Rowlit, love the videos, but the screen movement makes me a little sick sometimes. I'd love to finish watching the videos, but I think this is the second or third one I've had to stop because of it. Much love, thank you for the content
I really like the future one and the French one at the end. I watched you play your own on the deserted island a while back on your channel it was a pretty cool experience
I guess I'll answer my own question then. It's nowhere near complete, only 3 badges in up to Vermillion City. For a game that's been in the works since 2012 I thought it'd be further along. It's got good graphics & decent fakemon though. The story is like the first red & blue game with some twists.
i get what you are saying my guy, but please be more respectful sounding, the reason that there are not that many completed projects is because the people making these fangames are 1. not getting paid a dime and 2. not feeling appreciated so they burn out on their passion projects due to the overall stress. it's important that devs feel appreciated at all times, not just when they finish the project.

Great video, but oh boy is the ever moving screen making me sick. Maybe make the looping animation a bit slower could remove the problem, or just make it static.
loved this gym of mine... at least for the 10 minuets it let me enjoy it for before soft locking me after talking to the mayor of the town you will be the gym leader at. is there a way to fix the glitch? (I tried with 2 different types but the same thing happened). maybe I downloaded an incomplete version. any help would be awesome I miss my dragon and fairy teams.
Something a bit... different I'd recommend. I say different, because it's not a fan game, it's a mod to a fan game. Which is the content mod for Pokemon Empyrean, Edge of Eternity. While Empyrean was completed like a year ago? maybe more? now, and Edge of Eternity has definitely existed for 4+ years, Edge of Eternity 2.0 was only released a few months ago. EoE 2.0 is complete, and was redesigned for Empyrean's final update. So... a word of warning here. Edge of Eternity is NOT an easy experience, nor is it a traditional experience in most regards. Pokemon Empyrean contains a pretty expansive postgame, with 3 quests in particular that really stood out. The fight against Grimm, which is a gigantic puzzle fight where his team is quite literally custom made and unfair, the developer battle, which is just... straight BS, in the fun way, or not so fun way, ;) - and lastly, what is known as The Rainbow Quest. The Rainbow Quest is essentially a hidden quest. And it's super cryptic and obscure. This quest rewards you with what might be the strongest "pokemon" ever created. (quite literally. It can get in the tens of thousands in stats.) This quest requires you to do stuff like solve ciphers, morse code, fight insanely overpowered trainer battles, etc. Competely different from normal pokemon experiences. Edge of Eternity is essentially a nearly full game sized content expansion mod that is entirely based around the gameplay experience of the rainbow quest. It has insane puzzles. It has unfair bosses. It has extreme challenges. And it doesn't give you jack in terms of hints or instructions for most of it. Edge of Eternity is probably the most genuine fun I've ever had playing a Pokemon game, period. It's unfair and insane in the best and worst of ways. You'll go from enjoying a nice, easy section of neat wild pokemon and easy not-level-capped trainers.... to being stuck solving some god awful insane puzzle for 4 hours to fighting a level capped borderline cheating trainer boss fight that has a full team of legendaries with custom movesets that are absolutely busted. You'll go from looking for npcs for a hide and seek quest, to traversing a god awful water maze that's just pure suffering, to grinding for already maxed out legendaries with a like 1/10 shiny rate to playing sudoku. As someone that has played just about every form of pokemon experience one can think of, and who used to be extremely competitive professionally, I can solidly say that I haven't enjoyed a pokemon experience to the extent I've been enjoying my EoE playthrough (even if it makes me want to uninstall it at times...) at any point in my life. Pokemon Empyrean itself is a great game. 10/10. One of, if not actually my all-time favorite, fan games. But Edge of Eternity just skyrockets it up there. Because what Empyrean was missing was that unfair [redacted] that you experience when doing Insurgence hard mode's first gym. That sense of "wtf am I supposed to do here?". It only has that in like 3 fights. EoE has that in spades. I still don't even know where to start with some of the fights I've found. Like this one that just removes 90% of your entire team's health and has a marshadow with a priority move. And btw, on hard mode, you can't use items during any major trainer battle. So no, I can't just waste a turn on a full restore, even though I have 1500 of them. It's an amazing experience. It WILL make you better at Pokemon. And it WILL make you better at math and logic puzzles. And it WILL make you rage at it. And it WILL make you laugh and cry and smile and have genuine fun. 12/10, can't recommend enough. Just don't [redacted] spoil stuff for people. ;) It's part of the fun not being able to find answers to literally anything anywhere~ Even if some of it really should have answers because screw calculus.
imo Rocket Red is pretty solid, as the name suggests it's fire red but you're a team rocket grunt. Its got a pretty fun alternate story. Besides that, id also recommend advanced difficulty catch em all hacks like Inclement Emerald. Tho these kinds of hacks tend to buff/rework a lot of pokemon and tend not to touch any story elements, so it might not be your cup of tea.
@@theonlyshinyumbreon i really liked Crown a lot, though a new story/region but with existing Pokemon/no mega’s is maybe too much to ask for. I’ll check out Rocket Red though cheers
@@TG-qo6rx a few hours after my first comment I decided I'd start playing through pokemon floral tempus, and so far it seems to fit what you're looking for. So far every pokemon has been vanilla, and npcs in some of the early towns say stuff that basically boils down to "yeah this region has every pokemon." It _does_ have megas, but it seems to just be the vanilla ones.
@lunitunesofficial I'm trying to play your game on Android with a controller problem is the d pad and analog stick doesn't register can you help with the mapping settings on Joi Play please
nvm I commented on the wrong video lol, thought this was the romhacks one. not sure about these, but you can run all non-exe pokemon romhacks using open emu on mac
Got some more ideas for Pokemon fan games. Pokemon Sheff: based on all the cooking game mechanics of all Pokemon games. You play a Sheff who must use his cooking skills to impress judges in cooking contests. Pokemon Farm: This game you build an run a farm. Pokemon Turbo: A Pokemon game where you also drive a car. Pokemon Afterlife: You play a recently deceased Pokemon trainer who is taken to the afterlife by the Pokemon gods. They allow you one last Pokemon journey before they decide your fate. (The Pokemon gods take on human like forms and fight like Pokemon trainers).
The problem with pokemon fan games is that they are way over featured. The fans that create them have no control and do not know when to limit themselves. Everyone wants all the pokemon ever to be in the game, all the game mechanics, they want the best sprites for characters pokemon and map, they want quests sub quests puzzles space or time shenanigans etc. What makes official pokemon games better is the simplicity and the art of not having everything. Think about this for a second before taking trash on this comment like I know you will.
I'll not disagree nor agree with you, just see through the point of view from the community, all of what the fans wanted is the national dex to be completable, since the official games recently just deleted that feature and it's understandable for the amount of pokemon to animate in such a short time. Anyways! The fans just want to ALL OF THE FREAKING 1008 POKEMON to be obtainable to create a custom team and all...and about the other shenanigans that you mentioned..I don't have anything to say, just wanted tell something I was thinking, idk the loneliness is killing me, how's your day?-
@@angrynoises8762 Pretty good day so far, hope yours is at least as good. And about the national dex, who knows, maybe one day in a special official pokemon game we will see it return. I understand both the for and against arguments for the national dex, as it is nice to have but at the same time having so many pokemon will only overcrowd the game and only few people will actually have the urge to catch them all.
@@gemodemplay415 Mine's going pretty good as well, and yeah, if they think about a game with national dex feature, it's going to take a lot of time and that is good, since anything rushed isn't great..not to mention the "time is money" thing
@@tufungagreen5571 If the official games are thrash or not it is irrelevant for the fan games. The official pokemon games being bad does not justify the fan games being bad as well, on the contrary it should be a reason for the fan games to be better.
I just wna say i am done with pokemon game and i am sad because combat is same old boring thing. There is barely any mental challenge. I would rather play chess. pls make a new combat system. WE can't feed of same bullshit forever. wake up pls :(
Got some more ideas for a Pokemon fan game. Pokemon Jenny and Joy: This game covers the origins of the first officer Jenny and nurse Joy. Two sisters go on a Pokemon journey, one wants to be a healer while the other want to catch rouge Pokemon Trainers. Both are in pursuit of a mysterious garden containing very rare Pokemon berries, and it was also rumored that those how eat the rarest berries in the center of the garden will have immortality (meaning you will give birth to children that will share your image, name, and passion).
I want a rom hack with RTS elements. Build a town, manage citizens, building's, income, etc while adventuring around the region. Think Medieval Dynasty meets Pokemon lol
good day ruffled! i am mari and im a part of The manegement team of pokemon myth! and i want to thank you for your recommendation on this video! were working hard to complete the ravamp of the game so much more is to come!
Only one ive played so far fan amde wise was Pokemon Uranium and it was fantastic. I was hopeful for pokemon phoenix rising but I think that one might have been bailed on.
i dont play a ton of roms, but me personally idk, i dont really like having mega evolutions, z moves, super hard difficulty, pokemon fusions, fakemon, i just want a really good story, with up to around gen 1-6 pokemon as i grew up with those, the ones that really interest me are the cool premise ones like pokemon crown being in like an ancient time, some of the post apocolypic ones, and the ones that are just really narritive driven but aside from that not too many features, also the ones with really beautiful D.S./GBA graphics are cool to see, what should i play?
Give Pokémon Unbound a try. It's like most a romhack of FireRed, but completely unrecognizable. Totally new region with a decent story. You can even customize your character to some degree. Somehow the graphics are a mix between gen 4 and gen 5, despite it being based on gen 3. Difficulty settings are highly customizable, so it's as hard as you want. Almost all pokemon up until gen 7 are available, and they are spread out quite well. As for the stuff you probably don't really like, there are Mega Evolutions. But they're not THAT important and you don't get them early. There's also sidequests, but those are optional and automatically tracked. Easily the best romhack I've played.
I got some fan game ideas someone could try. Pokemon Breakout: Where you play a jailbird in prison who is involved in a jailbreak plan. It mostly involves special jail pokeballs made in secret. Pokemon Sticky Glob Run: This game is where you have no Pokemon to battle for you. Your only weapon is the Sticky Globs (from Legends of Arceus). Pokemon Fatherhood: You play as someone who has a wife that is pregnant. And you go on a journey to help provide and improve the conditions of your growing family. Pokemon Beinka and Lateas: You play as Beanka and Lateas as they go visit Ash Ketchum. Pokemon Wednesday vs Pugsley: This is the Addams Family in the Pokemon World. You choose between Wednesday or Pugsley as they gear up for the Addams Family Pokemon tournament. Pokemon Gilligan's Island: You play as either Gilligan or Marry Ann as the castaways us Pokemon battles to make due to their dire situation. Pokemon Fairy Tales: A reenactments of the classic fairy tails but as Pokemon Trainers.
