There seems to be some weird misconception that this game has a shop that takes real money, IT DOES NOT. The shop is a place where you can spend global in game currency to purchase items. This currency can be earned by logging in daily and completing minigames, NOT by purchasing it with real money.
It's so annoying that fan games with zero budget are outperforming Pokemon which is the most profitable franchise in existence repeatedly. Like Pokemon doesn't care about their user base at all and they're not even pretending. Also jumping to the conclusion I get my information from twitch was pretty strange.
difference between paid to work devs* and unpaid passion project devs. the paid worker puts in as much effort as they are paid while the unpaid one want to make it as good as it can be and make you feel that they put heart and soul into the game. *company devs/paid devs may not always lack passion but the potential quality may be hindered by whatever budget their higher management give them which leads to dropping good ideas and/or cut corners at some places to keep it within budget
@@EnochAntonino true which is why im so annoyed. These devs making things in their free time while holding down unrelated full time jobs are doing better than the people paid mountains of cash. Pokemon makes an insane amount of money, but they can't be bothered to put in more effort than people working on this as a hobby. If someone did better at my job then I did while working only a fraction of the time then I would be ashamed of myself. The decision makers for pokemon should be ashamed of themselves.
mainline Pokemon games (not including remakes and such) take about 3 years to be pumped out every November. 3 years to design 70-100 unique Pokemon, create a brand new region with its own story, characters, locations, etc. they also have to program it all in that timeframe, which takes much longer than people think. that all along with the fact that games are a second priority behind merchandise, which constitutes the majority of TPC's sales. meanwhile a collection of devs have as much time in the world to create a passion project that is far smaller scale than a mainline Pokemon game, with more understanding of fans than TPC has
I've only been around for 3 months (making actual content) so that's probably why :P but hey, I'm at a point that usually takes youtubers years to get to, in only 3 months, so I'm pretty happy with my growth actually
you can be on this plamorm for years and not get subs it's usally a question of how much $, time, are you willing to put in to something that could go unoticed
hi!! this was a great video and i'm happily subscribed to the channel now. super excited to start playing w Pokéngine :) i'm also SO GLAD you included in your conclusion that developers can APPLY to contribute to the game!! that sort of multi-developer model really really inspires me as a learning developer and i'm definitely going to look into their application requirements :D i love the pokemon fan game and fakemon communities . thanks to you and everyone
Genuine question. I saw several items and names of mons that could easily have this game taken down by you know who from my point of view. Did they make this knowing it would happen eventually or do they know how to combat that situation? I'm going to play it regardless, but I hate knowing that these usually get taken down and not around for the long run.
I tried out the game thanks to this video and I am loving it. Seems like development is pretty slow though, and the battle system isn't fully baked yet with many moves missing. Interesting that there's so much new content but not all the moves work.
You make it sound like different developers contributing regions/games to it or your save being in servers as a positive thing, but for me it makes me worry about if this can stand the time. Devs controbuting like this instead of being stand-alone games means that if Nintendo ever sends a takedown request, it won't just be one game that goes away, but all of those experieces vanish in one swoop. It being tied to server also means that you won't even be able to download it from somewhere else and still play, like uranium for example, and everything just becomes unavailable. And lastly, there being no local save means that should the server ever go down, all your progress is gonna be forever lost.
@@ayrei1503 While I agree that TPC's takedowns are massively overblown (most projects ending that get attributed to TPC takedowns are from people actually voluntarily shutting down their own games because they're cowards), their points about it being server based causing longevity issues are pretty reasonable. Personally, I'd prefer if there were an offline version, not only for protection against the project falling into disrepair over time, but because I'd just as soon not have to agree to their ridiculous ToS. Browser based games tend not to last, it's just how it is. Frankly, it's why I'm glad Pokerogue has an offline, locally run version. Even a few years down the line, when it likely stops being maintained, assuming the servers are even active, people will be able to host their own server on their own computer to play it.

The biggest problem is that if TPC gets wind of this they can take it down and then it can't be played anymore. I'd rather have an exe on my computer that I can play solo if the service goes down.
It's a nice intro video to Pokengine, but you don't really drive the thesis. What does it mean for it to be "the future of Pokémon fan games"? It clearly has some outstanding features, but how do these compare to other fan games? And when you think of something being "the future of" concepts like influence and popularity pop up? Will Pokengine change how fan games are made in the future? Will its hitherto rare or unique features soon be seen everywhere? Or should you expect it to have a huge player base? Or act as a platform where many artists put their work, instead of in separate games? Admittedly, the intent of this video doesn't appear to be to drive the thesis, but to show off Pokengine, and it manages that well. But when an eye-catching thesis is put in the title, and then isn't explored, it comes off as clickbait.
My bad if I did a poor job explaining it, but my reasoning behind it was the idea that you could play one fangame/region on this MMO and then play another, keeping the same character progression and Pokemon, which isn't something I've ever really seen outside of MMO's with mostly official regions. I try not to rely on clickbait for my videos, it's one of my biggest gripes with fangame youtube (example, "THE BEST POKEMON FANGAME" being used in a third of every fangame video title) but I have to use an once of it to survive on this platform. It doesn't matter how good my video is, if they don't click they don't watch.
project reloaded is the best, just hard especially the gyms, and the level caps make it so much harder to beat gyms xD overleveled my machoke a lil and it would not listen 🤣 also being the only pokemon i could use to beat the first gym
Hey I see that you have a lot of footage of Reloaded, If you want an mmo with real time battles why don't you try Pokemon Mistery Universe? (Also if you ever decide to finish reloaded with your time constraints go to settings and change your difficulty to professional mode)
@iskangpotch6847 like...every single move in the entire game? Bad enough for it to be the main drawback of the game? Is there no reliable healing like a pokecenter? Is there no PP increasing items? Every single move is too limited for the game to be enjoyable as a whole?
@@thomaswilkerson2711 if i remeber right. U can only cary 10 item in dungeon. Theres a healing station. And maybe theres a pp max. I dodnt play the game much
I appreciate fan games not doing 3/D, and sticking to the actual good pixel art. I'm a firm believer that the best looking graphics were B/W and B/W2. People are more than welcome to make an argument for 3D games, but to be honest not only does nostalgia win, but also I feel the quality is generally better. What's a bummer is that 3/D games brought about the open world experience we have with Pokemon now, and I actually enjoy open world pokemon. I hope that gamefreak does go backwards to traditional style pokemon games. I know the old artstyle won't be coming back, and if anything it'll be that weird 3D chibi artstyle which is fine. However, I wish they'd bring back the neat pixel art.

they self host the game on their website, wouldn't that make them VERY easy to get killed by The Pokémon Company? In comparison, PokéMMO is considered as a Mod that only modifies the base game that the user provides (but pokémmo never provides the game files) and the shop is considered to be donations so they manage to avoid legal problems I don't see how Pokengine will survive if it ever gets popular with the current model
This is a huge misconception, the "shop" is a place you can spend "PP" that can be earned by logging in daily or from completing minigames. Not sure entirely how it works yet myself, but I do know that you cannot purchase anything with real money.
@@ayrei1503 yeah I realized that afterwards. But I still think that self hosting such game with official assets can become a pain for them on the long run
I've known about Pokengine for a while - the developers make a lot of their assets publicly available, so other fangame devs can use them - but I've never actually played it. I don't care that much for large swaths of fakemon. Not to be against anyone who plays games with lots of them, but I like the idea of tweaking existing mons more - fanmade regional variants. So the idea of an MMO that includes a lot of fakemon feels weird to me. Yeah, *I* could probably play with only main-series mons and fanmade regionals thereof, but I can't interact solely with other players that do the same.
This does look like something I need to take a closer look at, seeing as it's one of the few only fan projects that have a cross-region system. However, I have a feeling it's not going to hold my interest for that long. Most fan projects end up being isolated from each other due to the nature of amateur game development, as in most start out with their own visions they aren't that eager to share with others for often good but inhibiting reasons.
It certainly looks like an interesting project, but I lost my feeling of "Maybe I could try it sometime" when you got to the part where users would have to join the devs' Discord server. I don't have Discord anymore, and I certainly don't want to be forced to reactivate my account or make a new one just to be able to play the game. I also would've liked to know if there are in-game purchases, especially with real money, or any pay-to-win features in particular. That certainly would be a red flag for me. Another thing is localization: I can't seem to find any information on the game being available in more languages than just English, or if any work is being done on localizing it. I have a friend I would like to tell about this game, but said friend is not very good at understanding English, which would make playing the game for him very hard, since Pokémon typically is a game with a lot of text
Check out Pokerogue then. I actually initially discovered Pokenegine through Pokerogue because they tell you to check it out in one of their random main menu messages lol. Anyway it's a fangame and it's a Pokémon rougelite and it's even cooler than the genre name makes it sound. It's like if Pokémon stadium had progression (and I guess wasn't exclusively doubles... which I would love for them to add as a separate mode). Anyway I can't get enough of it so I'm taking the time to type all of this. Thanks for reading, and have a good day. Play pokerogue!
Aight let's count the days until this gets hit with a dmca.... Okay but fr i am super hyped that fan games are honing into the mutliplayer aspect that is not just a competitive simulator Am worried just how long this is gonna probably last... I hope for a decade at least
it's already existed for a long time. The idea of every fangame being at risk of a ban is a misconception fueled by clickbait youtubers. Additionally, a dmca is not the death of a project, it's mostly just a big warning that can be avoided by laying low and coming back later.
@@zhaumbie @zhaumbie almost Half of those you mentioned weren't even "shut down" but instead received a DMCA/takedown request and is completely different from a Cease and Desist and usually just requires a relocation of the project. I'm also 90% sure the roblox mods were monetized like 99% of games on roblox are. Even then, that's like less than 20 you listed, out of what, a couple thousand fangames/ROM-hacks that exist? Not to mention other insanely popular fangames like insurgence and reborn that are completely fine after a decade.
100% Discord gatekeeps info behind expiring invite-only servers with godawful organization, completely bubbled away from search engines, the servers themselves often hard to find and at the behest of a single admin with a 5-second nuke button under their thumb. So many developers are now setting up a subreddit for their apps only to be a front mat for their Discord server, where an automod and a few subscribers always “helpfully” direct questions to the Discord server, “where people are active anyway :)” Screw Discord. It’s terrible for the internet
This game looks great! Thanks for sharing it with us I just had a few questions Are there things like an in-game economy? Are there legendaries? Wonder trading/GTS? Do they
I haven't gotten to the late game part of the whole "mmo" experience where a lot of this would matter, but I'm not sure if there is an ingame economy. I believe there are legendaries in certain regions, and I'm not sure if there is a GTS or wondertrade system.
Problem of this game to me is it miss some features like seing attack description in game like when u level up and get a new one u can't compare stats of the attacks u need to open a new web page to see what it does, when ur poke die u need to go to the menu to switch because it doesn't show up alone, same for the bag no bag button in fight u need to open the start menu to go through it, the pc box is painful to navigate to see poke stats, the map is meh not really usefull, sometimes the game is a bit lagging. The best part is a lot of poke, and a lot of world, the poke found in a world cannot be transfered in another world until beaten if I understand correctly, a decent outfit feature, a loot feature some poke hold item that can be drop if defeated. And that's all for now with my 3h experience.
In the game there's few sort of errors like Arlean city park cave challenge man is kinda buggy, battle with Calvin and hero infront of first daughter of cinosta family after that scene ends if you visit that place Calvin's image is still their and after completing the game if you visit the guild dorm by talking lift the screen stops but the dilaogue where Hero and Rylan talks then Destiny and Calvin's battle image while teaming up with hero the image dispalys as gold and dawn.
I honestly dont see how this competes with PokeMMO or Pokerogue when it comes to fanmade games. The fakemon don't really look that appealing to me and it doesn't seem to offer the polish of PokeMMO, nor unique features like PokeOne where you can co-op through the regions including gym leaders and trainer battles. PokeMMO is also playable on mobile so theres no real competition here to me.
If Pokéngine will have bottlecaps, then I'm completely ditching PokeMMO. Grinding and time consumption hasn't been so great as compared to touching real grass.
@@ayrei1503 are you sure? I went to check and there is a monthly subscription premium and shiny booster on their website. They will probably say it's to cover server costs but still.
Maybe its just me, but all fakemon don't feel like pokémon. No matter how good the design, I just can't get over the fact they aren't official and I don't like em. Good job on the devs for what they've created though. Hope many enjoy it.
Not an unpopular opinion at all. Personally I prefer games with fakemon, but only if the designs and art are actually good. A lot of fan games just can't seem to make good ones.
my only problem is just that it's a browser based game. Browser based games are known to be "hackers playgrounds" from what i've learned as they're easy to access other people's computers. Other than that, with how NINTENDO treats their POKEMON franchise i'm all for this.
There seems to be some weird misconception that this game has a shop that takes real money, IT DOES NOT.

This is a huge misconception, the "shop" is a place you can spend "PP" that can be earned by logging in daily or from completing minigames. Not sure entirely how it works yet myself, but I do know that you cannot purchase anything with real money.
@@ayrei1503 yeah I realized that afterwards. But I still think that self hosting such game with official assets can become a pain for them on the long run
I've known about Pokengine for a while - the developers make a lot of their assets publicly available, so other fangame devs can use them - but I've never actually played it. I don't care that much for large swaths of fakemon. Not to be against anyone who plays games with lots of them, but I like the idea of tweaking existing mons more - fanmade regional variants. So the idea of an MMO that includes a lot of fakemon feels weird to me. Yeah, *I* could probably play with only main-series mons and fanmade regionals thereof, but I can't interact solely with other players that do the same.
Every pokemon past gen 2 feels like a fakemon.
Can you play co-op for the story missions?
by "co-op" if you mean battling together then I don't think so
What is the pokemon game at the very start of the video?
Reloaded, there's a video on my channel if you want to learn more
Bro how to save your map i make one it didn't save
Pokemmo is pretty good too, just let's you play og Pokemons games online in an MMO environment
Pokémon has so much room for experimentation and yet they still have never done anything as innovative as the fangames have
Sounds cool, but is there some challenge to it as well?
This does look like something I need to take a closer look at, seeing as it's one of the few only fan projects that have a cross-region system. However, I have a feeling it's not going to hold my interest for that long.
Most fan projects end up being isolated from each other due to the nature of amateur game development, as in most start out with their own visions they aren't that eager to share with others for often good but inhibiting reasons.
just drop the pokemon part. make it your own youre almost there. we will fund you
It certainly looks like an interesting project, but I lost my feeling of "Maybe I could try it sometime" when you got to the part where users would have to join the devs' Discord server. I don't have Discord anymore, and I certainly don't want to be forced to reactivate my account or make a new one just to be able to play the game. I also would've liked to know if there are in-game purchases, especially with real money, or any pay-to-win features in particular. That certainly would be a red flag for me. Another thing is localization: I can't seem to find any information on the game being available in more languages than just English, or if any work is being done on localizing it. I have a friend I would like to tell about this game, but said friend is not very good at understanding English, which would make playing the game for him very hard, since Pokémon typically is a game with a lot of text
this looks great im just not a fan of alot of the fan made fakemons some are great but these shown dont give off the vibe that i love about pokemon
Sadly i dont like fangames with sooo much fan made pokemon that have their own line
But the system is awesome
Check out Pokerogue then. I actually initially discovered Pokenegine through Pokerogue because they tell you to check it out in one of their random main menu messages lol. Anyway it's a fangame and it's a Pokémon rougelite and it's even cooler than the genre name makes it sound. It's like if Pokémon stadium had progression (and I guess wasn't exclusively doubles... which I would love for them to add as a separate mode). Anyway I can't get enough of it so I'm taking the time to type all of this. Thanks for reading, and have a good day. Play pokerogue!
Btw nobody paid me to do this I just genuinely fucking love the game it's the shit man lol
Most important question: Can you speed up battles?
I don't believe so, but they run a lot faster than most fangames on 1x speed
Aight let's count the days until this gets hit with a dmca....
Okay but fr i am super hyped that fan games are honing into the mutliplayer aspect that is not just a competitive simulator
Am worried just how long this is gonna probably last... I hope for a decade at least
it's already existed for a long time. The idea of every fangame being at risk of a ban is a misconception fueled by clickbait youtubers.
Additionally, a dmca is not the death of a project, it's mostly just a big warning that can be avoided by laying low and coming back later.
Prrrretty reductive take for the long list of roms, fangames, and services I dropped in that other comment
@@zhaumbie @zhaumbie almost Half of those you mentioned weren't even "shut down" but instead received a DMCA/takedown request and is completely different from a Cease and Desist and usually just requires a relocation of the project. I'm also 90% sure the roblox mods were monetized like 99% of games on roblox are.
Even then, that's like less than 20 you listed, out of what, a couple thousand fangames/ROM-hacks that exist? Not to mention other insanely popular fangames like insurgence and reborn that are completely fine after a decade.
Would this be able to be played on an Android phone?
Yes, just follow the instructions according to the timestamp in the description
@@ayrei1503 yep. Playing it now. Happen to know the level caps for the Rica region? Doing a hardcore nuzlocke.
bookmark the page and add it to your homepage, it's like using Luna.
wow❤❤❤
i would play it even a sub .
Sick
Omg new Ayrei video
This should be sitting right next to Pokémon Generations. So sad they took that one from us, and never gave anything remotely like it in return
It's stupid that not anyone can freely play it as it wants them to go to their discord server to be a beta tester so i will have to pass on it
100%
Discord gatekeeps info behind expiring invite-only servers with godawful organization, completely bubbled away from search engines, the servers themselves often hard to find and at the behest of a single admin with a 5-second nuke button under their thumb.
So many developers are now setting up a subreddit for their apps only to be a front mat for their Discord server, where an automod and a few subscribers always “helpfully” direct questions to the Discord server, “where people are active anyway :)”
Screw Discord. It’s terrible for the internet
This seems awesome but I'm afraid if it mostly being fakemon
I don't know how many actual pokemon there are
It is good many regions have real and fake pokemon, some having only real pokemon like cloudia
BRO please tell me, wherefrom I recognize the song in the background at how to play section :p it's driving me mad not remembering it
NORMALLY, people put that in the description box bud :D pls do so in the future!
It’s the Area Zero from Pokémon scarlet/violet
at this point, why not make your own game without the fear of PokemonCompany coming down with the CnD upon you ?
Because the last time they've done it to a non-profit fangame was 8 years ago?
Because they wanted to make a fangame
This game looks great! Thanks for sharing it with us
I just had a few questions
Are there things like an in-game economy?
Are there legendaries?
Wonder trading/GTS?
Do they
I haven't gotten to the late game part of the whole "mmo" experience where a lot of this would matter, but I'm not sure if there is an ingame economy. I believe there are legendaries in certain regions, and I'm not sure if there is a GTS or wondertrade system.
Problem of this game to me is it miss some features like seing attack description in game like when u level up and get a new one u can't compare stats of the attacks u need to open a new web page to see what it does, when ur poke die u need to go to the menu to switch because it doesn't show up alone, same for the bag no bag button in fight u need to open the start menu to go through it, the pc box is painful to navigate to see poke stats, the map is meh not really usefull, sometimes the game is a bit lagging.
The best part is a lot of poke, and a lot of world, the poke found in a world cannot be transfered in another world until beaten if I understand correctly, a decent outfit feature, a loot feature some poke hold item that can be drop if defeated.
And that's all for now with my 3h experience.
In the game there's few sort of errors like Arlean city park cave challenge man is kinda buggy, battle with Calvin and hero infront of first daughter of cinosta family after that scene ends if you visit that place Calvin's image is still their and after completing the game if you visit the guild dorm by talking lift the screen stops but the dilaogue where Hero and Rylan talks then Destiny and Calvin's battle image while teaming up with hero the image dispalys as gold and dawn.
please report these issues in my discord, not in the comments of this video
What the name of the first fangame on video???
reloaded
reloaded
Love the game.
Does someone have the name of the music played at 6:05 ? It sounds like a Nier Automata OST
It's area zero from pokemon scarlet and violet
@@poepoe3985 Thank you ! I didn't play past gen 5, I didn't know the games had such soundtracks
I honestly dont see how this competes with PokeMMO or Pokerogue when it comes to fanmade games.
The fakemon don't really look that appealing to me and it doesn't seem to offer the polish of PokeMMO, nor unique features like PokeOne where you can co-op through the regions including gym leaders and trainer battles.
PokeMMO is also playable on mobile so theres no real competition here to me.
If Pokéngine will have bottlecaps, then I'm completely ditching PokeMMO. Grinding and time consumption hasn't been so great as compared to touching real grass.
Any Shinys?
Yup
the title image is another game
EDIT: think i got confused
Wdym title image? You mean the thumbnail? It's all taken from the game the video is about
@@ayrei1503 my bad
The game is complete or beta?
It's an mmo, it'll never be "complete", it will just keep getting updated
@@ayrei1503 Yeah, but you know, some mmo's are in beta even if you can play it normally
Does it have a donation system like most "private" mmo?
No, they don't take any real money
@@ayrei1503 are you sure? I went to check and there is a monthly subscription premium and shiny booster on their website. They will probably say it's to cover server costs but still.
That's all buyable using global ingame currency that you can't buy with real money, but instead earn by logging in everyday and playing minigames
@@ayrei1503 ok that changes literally everything!
Sabung pokemon wakakkwkw
Does this game have shiny Pokémon ?
I would have to assume so, but I'm not sure if the rates are modified
@ayrei1503 it does I have a shiny pidgey and onix
Idk what it is but I can never get into games with fakemon
I'd play if it didn't have such an emphasis on fakemon
Why do you dislike Fakemon?
@@1980woodpixie More like I only like Pokemon. Kinda like reading fanfiction I guess. There for the fanfiction more than the OCs.
Will be taken down as soon as it gets more popular.
They better just make own mons that look similar to be safe.
Pokerogue has tens of thousands of players daily and was played by some of the most popular streamers, including XQC, and it's not taken down :)
Please tell me I can get a Genesect and it wouldn't be ripped from me because of the infectious cancer that is competitive Pokemon
Maybe its just me, but all fakemon don't feel like pokémon. No matter how good the design, I just can't get over the fact they aren't official and I don't like em. Good job on the devs for what they've created though. Hope many enjoy it.
Not an unpopular opinion at all. Personally I prefer games with fakemon, but only if the designs and art are actually good. A lot of fan games just can't seem to make good ones.
I feel that exactly. I’m too picky when it comes to stuff like this lmao
Me too I don't hate them but I just like the official more for some reason
I can really recommend pokemon solar light and lunar dark, all of it's fakemon feel very pokemon-esque
I am the same. I can handle fan made regional variants or Megas for example, but outright Fakemon just dont do it for me
oh god the clock is ticking and this fan game wont last forever. why can't copyright laws not apply if it uses the material good enough.
Nintendo hasn't shut down a nonprofit fangame in 8 years
@@ayrei1503 mario royale?
@@douhwufwef5207 sorry, pokemon fangame*
@@ayrei1503 i wouldn't know i guess
dont forget the pokemon devs coud destroy this game after all the developers are idiots that rather kill there own game than let it thrive from fans
all fun and games until nintendo catches wind of this fangame.
pokemon revolution online is better
Does it have bottlecaps?
Isn't the future of fan games to be copyright striked?
my only problem is just that it's a browser based game. Browser based games are known to be "hackers playgrounds" from what i've learned as they're easy to access other people's computers.
Other than that, with how NINTENDO treats their POKEMON franchise i'm all for this.
How long till gamefreak selfishly nukes this passion project like the heartless monsters they are?
When is the last time they "nuked" a non-profit pokemon fangame
@@ayrei1503 Wasn't there that one fan game called pokemon plutonium or something?
@tomo8940 that was uranium, and it happened 8 years ago
Let's not tell Nxntendo about this
Fakemom? Not interested... There's over 1000 real ones, and I don't mind if they changed them a bit but clear 100% fakemom is something I can't stand.
There are real mons some regions only having real mons
I'll be honest with you, I don't like this game back when I used to play it
