Hey! I'm almost finished with the demo (and overall first area) of my Elden Ring Pokemon fangame! Wanted to share some of the art and concepts I've come up with so far :)
Overview
The World
Pokemon
Grafting
NPCs
Bosses
Pokemon Centers
Credits
Overview
- Pokemon game set in the Lands Between, combining elements from both games
- Pseudo open world with optional exploration
- More difficult than a traditional Pokemon game, less punishing than a typical Souls-like
- A LOT of customized Pokemon and trainers
- "Gym leaders" are bosses from the game with themed gyms instead of type-based
Spoiler:
The World
- Creating by area (Limgrave, Liurnia, Caelid, etc)
- 3-5 routes per area
- Optional routes and areas - Route to Misbegotten Castle, Castle itself, and the following route are all optional but will have NPCs and exploration
- Torrent will be your 'bike,' granting a quick way to travel from the start of the game (Not a fighting Pokemon, can't be used in battle)
Pokemon
- Some normal Pokemon, some Eldenmons, plus Grafted and Spirit Ashes (more on them later)
- Changes to the Pokemon will also affect typing
- Ex armored Ponyta will be fire/steel
Grafting
- New NPC can Graft certain Pokemon to make them more powerful (and freaky)
- Ex. first quest will be to collect 3 zubat, which she'll graft into… this
- Some bosses will have unique Eldenmon that can't be found or made elsewhere, other bosses will be their own "ace" and join the fight
- After defeating them, you can claim the Spirit Ashes of the final boss (Eldenmon or Boss)
- Spirit Ashes must be leveled up through an NPC, Rodericka, to prevent them from being overpowered and discourage a team of only Ashes
NPCs
- Features most of the NPCs from Elden Ring, plus some new ones
- Each NPC will have a dialogue and full body sprite
- Full body sprites for battles, shop menus, etc
- Dialogue will mostly be by choice
- Once they give you the bare minimum to proceed, you can end the conversation
- Option to ask more for information, hints (esp for the non elden ring players), easter eggs, hidden jokes
Bosses
- Some will have multiple phases, meaning they can exceed a team of 6
- Each ace Pokemon will be completely unique and unavailable anywhere else
- Boss teams will be based on theme, not typing (lunar queen Rennala will have Lunatone, Umbreon, Musharna, etc.)
Pokemon Centers
- Sites of Grace will take over Pokemon Centers for healing and as a fly points
- Melina, your guide, will stand by Grace and can heal your Pokemon
- Or use the site of Grace to teleport to the Roundtable Hold
- At the RH, Melina can heal, act as a PC to change out Pokemon
- As you 'collect' NPCs, many will move to the Roundtable
- Others, like Miriel, will stay where they are but will be right next to a site of Grace for easy access
