Oh wow, the game is so well made that first I thought that this was made with a video editor as a "parody video". But it is an actual game, wow! Impressive!
I don't usually like how most new Pokemon-esk games look, but this has something to it. If there's some quality of life features like being able to select attacks for the next turn while attack animations are still playing or just otherwise adjustable animation speeds, I would definitely be into this.
We have SO many QoL features coming down the pipeline. A way to speed up battles the way I like to in Pokemon emulators or toggle them completely is definitely one of them. Choosing moves for future turns sounds like super cool idea, but would be crazy hard to implement since it's hard enough keeping the current battle system running smoothly.
I remember beta testing something like that for this game too. I'm really glad that the game has been released, instead of it becoming one of the things that would never be...
i hope these ponies are legally distinct enough to not get the game struck down because man this is good, good to see mlp and adjacent fangames still coming out and in development to this day
Last time hasbro sued over something like this, Lauren Faust stepped in and assisted the dev team when they had to start from zero. But that was all before maximum games cancelled the project obviously
@@Goat81093 Well, Pixar won over Rockstar North all those years ago in the DMA Design days. I could probably see Game Freak going after the healing center interior art, as that looks almost exactly like the Pokemon Center art from the Gen 4 games..
Google Play is giving us lots of problems at the moment. They were completely unresponsive on Labor Day, but now things are starting to proceed. Hopefully it's Live on Google Play by this evening.
Another question: even though the game's already out, if I buy the $200 patreon do you like update it to put in a brand new tamer? How's the "DLC" work as you mentioned in a previous comment?
We'll be able to put in as many new tamers as we like with the Battle Spot system, where there's special arenas placed all over the region where strong tamers appear at random, looking for opponents.
The DLC will come in 3 seasonal major updates called Act 1, Act 2, and Act 3. By the end of Act 3, the story will be complete and the postgame will be accessible. OC Tamers will begin to appear as soon as Act 1.
Those devs inspired me to take up programming in the first place a decade ago. Infinite respect for them. Even met some members of Mane6 and perhaps a collaboration of some kind lies ahead...
i could have sworn it was said this will come out on steam? is that still happening on a later timedate or did i just missread/missremember that? eitherway im probably going to play it
We're coming to Steam in a year or two once we complete all 4 parts of the story and do a huge menu overhaul to get the game 100% controller friendly. That'll be known as Battle Gem Ponies DX, as promised in our Kickstarter ⭐
i went to Google play to download it but it says it isn't compatible with my tablet so i can't download it. but i will download it once i get a tablet that it works for.
@@TempoQuill 16x16 pixel tile sprites will tend to look similar. Especially when it comes to things like "squares on the floor" and "beige wall" but I can assure you, Tony Yotes is the one who drew those squares. Not a GameFreak employee from 2002. Sure does have a familiar vibe though, huh? Monster Taming healing places.
It looks so generic and copied from other videogames. I don't know why you used the concept of "ponies" for this game, but if this is a parody one, well, there are better ones. It's all "pony" in this game. What's the deal with that?
Best explanation I've got is that I was just super into MLP in 2014 and the idea stuck around. Not sure I can convince you to try it, but if you tried out the demo I think you'd find the combat mechanics more interesting than you'd expect with its twists on familiar RPG mechanics.
Don't get stuck with MLP as main idea for your videogames. That franchise is still so problematic, even if some talented people tried to make something good with it.

I can't imagine going through the trouble of making all these assets and NOT making a real game with them.
holy shite that's some extremely detailed sprite work
We chose quality over quantity when it came to bringing our roster to life. 🖌😌
Ngl as much I haven't watched MLP I appreciate this as a "Game Designer", I can tell there's love in this project, and its pixelart is impressive lol
Thanks for saying so! It's been 60 long months since a coding buddy helped me pick up the pieces of an abandoned project.
@@YotesMark More than a year working on something... I genuinely can understand that struggle LOL
My Little... Pokemon?!
Yep, that's it haha. It's a MLP mixed with Pokemon.
My head literally exploded when it first came to me. I've been possessed by a Ghost Type gamedev spirit ever since.
@@habastianlynx6701 the best combo since chicken + breading 🍗
A+ on this game A+

@@YotesMark Sweet
ive been waiting forever for this game to be fully released good job dude 👍
can still hardly believe today is really happening 😄
Been a fan since the KS. LOVE all the work you guys have done to make this game a reality! The ponies are SOOO CUUUUTE! :-D
woo baby this is what ive been waiting for!!
That's what I'm talking about!!
heh i remember beta testing one of the very first builds with just the battle feature showcase. good job!
I remember beta testing something like that for this game too. I'm really glad that the game has been released, instead of it becoming one of the things that would never be...
Wow. Takes me back...
@@eglol Couldn't live with myself if I let this idea fade away. It deserves to see the light of day.
i hope these ponies are legally distinct enough to not get the game struck down because man this is good, good to see mlp and adjacent fangames still coming out and in development to this day
And we're only just getting started.
You can't really copyright the idea of cartoon ponies, only the specific characters of an IP.
Joyance made me happy. Will protect her at all cost.
the most precious of ponies
My Little Ponymon: Battles are Magic.
Gotta wonder if Twilight Sparkle could 1v1 ANYPONY from this roster at Lv100
That's such a silly and cute idea loving it
We even have the ponies giggle at the opponent when their attacks miss
The brony community is alive and well.
And it'll last for GENERATIONS to come!
Boy, I hope this doesn't attract a lawsuit from Hasbro or something. I could see them trying to shut it down for having an art style similar to MLP's.
Thankfully nobody can sue over art styles.
Last time hasbro sued over something like this, Lauren Faust stepped in and assisted the dev team when they had to start from zero. But that was all before maximum games cancelled the project obviously
Unlikely, if Palworld is still standing whit some of those very close to comfort designs, this will too

AWWW SHIDD ponymon geimu is real!
Willed into existence by the brony community.
What if Pokemon and MLP had a child? THIS GAME!!
It's like we're raising the most precious potential-filled baby in the universe. (I love it so much💓)
Ponymon got a tame em alll
i hope it will come to switch im not getting my hope up but it would be nice also maybe you should implement an ng+
We have plans for a New Game + mode in a future DLC that continues the story.
@@YotesMarkthank you for the answer i really hope it will come to console it look fun
it's just genius
EXACTLY!
Yes i need a good new pokemon game!
You understand. 🤝
I registered the game in my Google play, but why is it not installing?
Google Play is giving us lots of problems at the moment. They were completely unresponsive on Labor Day, but now things are starting to proceed. Hopefully it's Live on Google Play by this evening.
@@YotesMark Oh ok
Hasbro in the corner :
I think it would be kinda cool if this found its way to the Switch...
That's our DREAM ❤💙 (and we're gonna make it come true)

Love it! Downloading it right now! (I love ponies, i love pokemon. This is a win win!)

Is it a regenal thing?
Google Play issues. We're working on resolving them but response times from them are really slow.
@@YotesMark ah, it's cool then
Y'all take your time
Here's your replacement for Them's Fightin' Herds. RIP.

@@YotesMark Yowsers bowsers, I wasn't expecting a word straight from ya. Looking forward to the project and what else is to come.
@@savagewolver8541 oh, there's a lot to come, don't you worry. This is just the start.
I'm getting way more Pokemon vibes than My Little Pony vibes.
Hope it gets release ether home console like PS or if it can't then steam since I have stream deck
GOALS of ours for sure. Making controller friendly menus is going to take a lot of work
@@YotesMark if it comes to home console like ps5 then I would stream this game 😁
If this makes it on the Switch I'm getting this ASAP
Me to!
So I'm hearing Steam, Switch, Playstation, and Xbox requests. Prioritized in that order. And I'm hearing it A LOT. Therefore, it shall be done. ✅
Do you get to snuggle with the pony?
As much as you'd like. ☑
@@YotesMark Is that a mechanic in the game?
@@TitusConstantine Of course! Just face your pony and press the [Action] button 🎮
@@YotesMark Very interesting! I bought the game on Google play but have not played it yet
Ponymon 2.0?
That's literally the game I played that made me go "What if they took this idea ALL the way...?"
Shut up and take my money 💸
Aye Aye. 💸🤏
i could have sworn it was said this will come out on steam? is that still happening on a later timedate or did i just missread/missremember that?

Does this game require wi fi to play?
Nope! Completely offline.
@@YotesMark Great! That's one point it's earned in my book if I ever decide to buy it
i went to Google play to download it but it says it isn't compatible with my tablet so i can't download it. but i will download it once i get a tablet that it works for.
We have it working on Android phones and Amazon tablets now as of 9/4/24
@@YotesMark i checked and it still says my device isn't compatible with this version. i am using my Amazon fire tablet.
@@simba342 Try this Amazon specific version instead. 👍 www.amazon.com/dp/B0DFVNJLG8/

How about you go play that dumpster fire that is KH3 and stop trying to tell indie devs that they need to do games the way you want fool.
