I'm not sure how I didn't catch wind of this earlier, but damn, for a fan game, the polish on this thing is amazing.

Definitely gonna give this a try when I get the chance.

I can see just from the trailer that lot of dedication went into this, but geez, lot of these fan game have such ridiculous fanfiction-level plot points. "Save the wotld from irradiated pokemons"? I know main pokemon games don't have much of plot either, but at least they are light-hearted and don't leave you incredulous.

Of course, pure first impression so let's see if the game changes my mind.

i dont know, for a universe where pokemons toxic sludge and garbage can be alive. having a nuclear fallout setting seems plausible enough.

one of the main unrealistic things in pokemon is that somehow they have energy for their cities but they dont show any kind of waste or energy sources.

A-are those new mons that don't look terrible?

Also, bets on whether the site is down because of overload or Nintendo ninja lawyers?

for now the twitter says that its due to overload only. i guess that if they receive a letter from them they will notice the community...

Seems to be overload.  I've played it a bit (surprising because pokemon is not an activity I normally partake of), I like the fakemon a lot actually, they look good and a skilled player could probably use them far better than I can.  (All I've got is brute force here, the type weakness/strength web is just way too damn complicated.)

I understand why they do it, but I really wish Nintendo weren't such asses about people messing around with their big franchises.

Nintendo has long and glorious history of fucking programmers and fans, question it not.

Ooh, a pokemon game I can be disappointed by without spending money. Going to have a look at it.

The only thing that's getting nuked in this game is the dev team at the hands of Nintendo's legal department.
