Description
Embark on a truly unique mono-Bug adventure in the lush, varied Ecryus region! This fan game challenges you to join the titular "Bug Run" event, proving your merit by catching and battling solely with Bug-type Pokémon from Gens 1-9, including dozens of new fakemon and regional forms. Beyond combat, engage in resource gathering, crafting, and a mining mini-game, all while enjoying modern QoL like reusable TMs, increased shiny odds, and an optional Exp. All. Currently available as a substantial second demo offering 6-20+ hours of gameplay, this is a must-play for mono-type enthusiasts and Bug-type lovers!
Features
- Forced Mono-Bug Type Run: The core premise is a mandatory mono-Bug playthrough, challenging you to use only Bug-type Pokémon (excluding secondary types).
- New Ecryus Region: Explore a diverse new land featuring forests, deserts, volcanic slopes, ocean trenches, and glacial passes.
- Expanded Bug-Type Roster: Catch all Bug-Types from Generations 1 through 9, including new regional forms, convergent forms, and CAP project Pokémon.
- Dozens of Fakemon: Discover many brand new, fan-made Pokémon, with some having 10+ alternate forms to collect and use.
- Resource Gathering & Crafting System: Collect resources and craft new items for your adventure.
- Mining Mini-Game: Engage in a mining mini-game to find new items.
- New Tree-Shaking Mechanic: A fresh way to interact with the environment and potentially find Pokémon or items.
- Quest System: Undertake various quests throughout your journey.
- Stamp Progression System: Collect "stamps" instead of badges to mark your progress in the "Bug Run" event.
- New Moves & Abilities: Features newly created moves and abilities to enhance strategic depth.
- Increased Shiny Odds: Standard shiny odds are 1/512, with significantly higher odds for certain static encounters and resource-based encounters (mining rocks, plants).
- HM-less Field Moves: Pokémon that can learn an HM move can use it in the overworld without needing to actually know the move (after obtaining the corresponding stamp).
- TRs & Reusable TMs: Both Technical Records (TRs) and reusable Technical Machines (TMs) are available.
- Toggleable Exp.All: A Gen 6-style Exp.All system is available semi-early in the game and can be turned on or off.
- Speed-Up Button: Use the Q-key to toggle between standard, 1.5x, and 2x speeds (note: affects internal clock for time-based events).
- Multiple Save Files (Workaround): While no built-in feature, users can manually manage multiple save files by renaming/moving "Game.rxdata."
- Oops Button: An emergency item in your inventory for soft-lock situations.
