Godra is a hint at what a Pokémon fan game could become. I won’t spoil it for you in case you want to check it out for yourself, but it’s interesting, to say the least. Almost every fan game has an original story, but few are as unique as what the Rejuvenation writers came up with. The story, I’ve found, is a little hit or miss. There are over 70 hours of original content to dive into here, so you might want to book some time off work.
Rejuvenation is an absolutely massive fan game.
To make a long story short, it’s a laboratory where competitive players can check out their rosters before jumping into battle Wolfey in ranked.
You get to pick your nature, ability, IVs, and EVs for all of your Pokémon. What it does allow you to do, though, is handcraft an original competitive team following all the conventions of the main games. If any of you out there have ever played competitive VGC, then you likely already know about this particular game. Putting Showdown on this list feels like I’m cheating, but it’s technically a fan game, so I’m doing it. It’s also got every single Pokémon from Gen I to V up for grabs so that obviously earns some bonus points. It’s not an idea that is completely new (looking at you, Cyrus), but it is well executed in the fan games. Zeta and Omicron take the conflict to the next level with the original story, in which you’re trying to prevent the big bad evil guy from using Pokémon to become a god. Zeta and Omicron are very much two sides of the same coin, much like titles in the official series, hence why both games share the same slot here. You don’t get to bring your Pokémon from the other leagues with you at first, which completely derails the game’s momentum, in my opinion. However, any notion of progression to become a Pokémon master is halted every time you enter a new region. It’s got an original story and a large Pokédex that really helps bring the living online world together. It’s an MMO that features the four 2D era regions, those being Johto, Kanto, Hoenn, and Sinnoh. Revolution Online would be a lot further down on the list if it weren’t for another entry we’re going to get to in a bit. The fact that an unofficial fully-fledged 3D Pokémon game could even be created in the first place is impressive enough to warrant a spot. That being said, Pokémon 3D is still one of the best Pokémon fan games that have ever been made. Pokémon 3D isn’t going to be for everyone, I’ll admit, and it’s lost some stock on account of the 3D advancements that have been made in the main series titles.
