Pokémon PokéSouls - Mechanics
Category: GBA
Author: Skili
Date: 2025-08-29
Description
I always felt that Pokémon and Dark Souls already have a lot in common, so I sat down and tried to bring over Souls-mechanics that Pokémon was missing to get a full soulslike experience. Primarily to start a full DS inspired region, but for the (very likely) possibility of me never finishing a huge project like that, I thought I could at least release the implemented features.
Features
- Souls-like Leveling System: All EXP is converted directly into money. You must then spend this money at a Pokémon Center nurse to manually level up your Pokémon.
- Trainer Respawn: Healing at a PC or fainting in battle will reset all previously defeated trainers, allowing you to battle them again for experience and money.
- Death & Recovery Mechanic: When defeated, you lose all your money. It can be recovered by defeating the same trainer who beat you, or by picking up a spawned item at the location where you lost to a wild Pokémon.
- Potion Flask (Estus Flask): You start with a "Potion Flask" key item that has three charges. Each charge can be used to fully heal your entire party, and charges are replenished by healing at a PC.
- Running from the Start: The ability to run is available by default from the beginning of the game.
