Summary
You may be surprised by how manyPokemon fan gamesexist, considering how famously litigiousNintendois.
The latest obsession forPokemonfans is surfing app game PokeRogue, a Pokemon roguelike that focuses entirely on battling.
Theres no exploration no overworld at all, actually no gimmicks, just battling.
And thats what makes it so moreish.
PokeRogue might be better than both.
How To Play PokeRogue
Lets start at the beginning.
First, you have to pick your team.
Each starter is worth three points, and your starting party cant exceed ten.
So, three starters to begin.
But every Pokemon you catch on your run becomes available for selection on your next.
it’s possible for you to start with it next time for two points.
Pikachu will set you back four points next time around.
Each battle acts like a level.
Win ten battles and youve cleared a floor.
This is the only time your team will get fully healed free of charge.
PokeRogue cleverly implements items from many Pokemon games to create interesting interactions.
My favourite starter to date is Doduo.
However, your buffs are reset before any trainer battle.
Whats The Deal With Shinies In PokeRogue?
In PokeRogue, shiny Pokemon are even more important than in main series games.
The eggs are nowhere near guaranteed to hold a Legendary or shiny respectively, but its your best bet.
Everyone knows how Pokemon battles work.
If not, its not difficult to get your head around.
PokeRogues gameplay is simple, and theres beauty in that simplicity.
PokeRogue is a labour of love.
Now all I have to do is work out how to make this Xurkitree broken beyond belief.
