Do you like custom Pokemon games with original designs? How about surreal horror-esque indie games? Well boy do I have great news for you.
Pokemon Obscura is my latest project. It's loosely a spinoff sequel to my first Pokemon/Yume Nikki-themed game, Cyclical Recurrences, but this one more heavily focuses on the Pokemon aspect. Featuring 100 new fakemon designs that range from "could be a Pokemon" to "surreal abomination", there's bound to be something for everyone.
Pokemon Obscura takes you to the region of Limbo, a place where departed spirits go before their eternal rest. One lucky soul is promised to be reborn if they can fight their way to the top. Corruption, a fierce roster of competition, and an evil team all stand in the way of you making it to #1. But is your rebirth guaranteed, even if you do make it?
CURRENT AND PLANNED FEATURES:
Spoiler:
- 100 brand new fakemon, some with multiple forms! Complete with custom-made cries too :)
- 8 gyms, Elite Four, and Champion
- Several legendaries to track down and catch
- Custom and updated tilesets
- Fairy type, updated move pools, movesets, and abilities from later gens
- Trackable EVs/IVs on the summary screen
- Visual PC boxes (ie no gen 2 storage! You can see your Pokemon!)
- Increased shiny odds (base rate 1/1,024)
- Hidden grottoes like in gen 5, and wild Pokemon have a 1% chance of just having their Hidden Ability
Here are the starter choices :)
Pokemon Obscura is being made in RPG Maker XP with the Pokemon Essentials GSC (v1.3) base expansion. It's a gen 2-styled game with updated mechanics and quality of life features seen in later games. The music is all from the GBC era, borrowing from other Pokemon games and RPGs. It's still quite early in development, so more screenshots and fakemon will be posted later, but progress is being made!

Introducing Variant Forms to the game! Much like shinies, variants can appear in the wild with various odds (as depicted above). Each Pokemon will have 0-3 alternate forms, and if you're lucky, you might even find a shiny one!
Deltas show the most promise for being useful, as they add some extra type diversity and even come with tweaked learnsets. Glitches end up with really bizarre moves, some of which may be more helpful than others... And Poke Balls? They do nothing, they're just for prestige :)
I like the concept of alternate forms of the little critters! Especially the delta ones, even if they aren't the rarest form of the bunch, since they seem so cool to collect with how different they look to the original in more ways than one! This also gives me the vibe of an underworld, similar to Giratina's realm but with more of a twist leaning towards absurdity and dark design. I can't wait to see this game come to fruition, since it seems like it would be fun for a creature collector! Also poor narwhal ;w; It clearly is the outlier of the bunch with it's tearful yet adorable face.

Ahh thank you so much! I wanted to make the deltas something that a casual player would probably encounter a couple of per game, just to spice things up and encourage encountering wild 'mons :)
I'm glad you're excited for it! I'm a huge creature collector at heart (especially a shiny hunter), so it's gotta appeal to that haha.
(It's okay Narwail baby, you'll turn into a beautiful creature some day :') I promise)
Spent the afternoon spriting out Limbo's region map! Originally made it too large for the GSC Essentials-sized screen, woopsies. But after some retooling, we're back in action :)
