[Released] Pokémon: Dregs Demo Version 2.0 is complete!

[grit3694]

A while ago, we shared our first official demo for Pokémon: Dregs. We got a ton of wonderful feedback, and I am now proud to announce that the next version of our demo is complete!

If you've ever seen a trashlocke, completed one yourself, or just wanted to play with only terrible Pokémon: here is your chance with Pokémon: Dregs!

That's right: all the terrible, useless Pokémon that we've come to hate and disregard, all in one place. In this game, the only Pokémon available to you will have a base stat total of 475 or less (some exceptions may apply). Only a few have had their stats changed, mainly to incorporate some Dragon-type Pokémon and a couple fan-un-favorite worst of the worst. Taking place in a brand new area called the Detritus region, you set off on a novel adventure that is full of "fun" and "excitement" the likes of which you've never experienced! And hopefully never will again!

But be careful...Some people aren't too happy with their terrible native Pokémon; they might want to import some from different regions in order to take control of the Detritus region and exterminate all the crap, including your team!

Can you assemble a party to be the best of the worst in the Detritus region? Are you able to utilize all those that have been cast aside and neglected? And will you be able to harness the power of friendship to overcome the sheer statistical power of Team Supreme? Good luck!

Features include:

Spoiler:

- Everyone's favorite trio, the Elemental Monkeys, as the starters!
- Movesets and stats from Gen 7!
- No HMs other than Surf are required to progress through the game, so no HM slaves (I figured that your party will be handicapped enough without having one be even more useless). However, hidden goodies can be found using HMs in some places!
- Tough Gym Leaders that use a team of 6 Pokémon, having their main type mixed with a variety of secondary types, and held items!
- Brand new region. the Detritus region!
- Team Supreme, a group of tryhards that want to exterminate all the terrible local Pokémon and replace them with top-tier ones! They almost all have teams of 3 with competitive movesets, stats, items, and abilities, along with a heightened AI to make for an incredibly challenging adventure!
- Two of the worst Legendary Pokémon can be found in the Detritus region, can you guess what they might be?
- A (hopefully) compelling story that makes you question whether or not some Pokémon are born bad, or if you've only been conditioned to believe so...
- An expansive postgame with two types of Battle Towers; this feature is coming soon!
- Jokes galore!

Updates from the previous demo:

Spoiler:

- Multiple bug fixes and balancing changes
- Improvements to Gym Leader and rival teams, including the addition of held items for their whole party
- Storytelling improvements and expansion of the plot and local lore
- Progress through SEVEN gym badges and the main Team Supreme base
- EXP yields adjusted for Team Supreme Pokémon
