Pokemon - Aether and Chaos
A downloadable game for Windows
About the game:
I set out to create this game for two main purposes.
The first was to write music, specifically focusing on guitar, bass and drum. I wanted a challenge to write pieces I wouldn't usually try, ranging from heavy to ambient styles.
The second was to create a Pokemon experience that I always wished the games would provide. Some of these being:
- The ability to use any line of Pokemon in your team and have them be viable for the entire journey.
- Allow almost all Pokemon lines to have three or more evolutions.
- Create a difficulty in which you cannot simply just over level to breeze through the game.
Story:
The story is linear and was not my main focus for the game, so don't expect anything fancy. Simply put, you are a young trainer aspiring to become champion of the realm. To do so requires obtaining 8 gym badges and defeating the current champions. On your journey, a local professor asks you to collect data on Pokemon as he has noticed a disturbance in the aether, that being a rise in chaotic energy. The realm and all living things rely on the balance of the aether and chaos to live. As you progress, the chaos energy seems to be growing in large amounts and not through simple natural means...
What's different?
- A whole new region to explore, the region of Thion
- 357 total Pokemon with many totally new creations, both pre and post evolutions
- Uses the original Gen 1 & 2 Pokemon lines
- Many Pokemon have been given different typings
- Two new types: Aether and Chaos
- All Pokemon lines can be caught in the wild
- Gen 8 battle mechanics
- Super effective damage reduced to 3.3 and Not very effective increased to 1.15
- A level cap for specific points of the game (can be turned off)
- An entire soundtrack of roughly 80 tracks specifically created for this game
Potential issues:
I have play tested this for several months now.
- The only issue I have not being able to fix is looking in the 'area' section of the Pokedex for some Pokemon. If there are more that people find, I'm happy to fix them.
- Fixed an issue where respawning before visiting a center would place you in the wrong location.
As this has been a solo project their may be more minor issues to which I'm sorry if they impede your experience.

Fun game. I enjoyed discovering which Pokémon were changed. I liked the soundtrack, though it did get a little same-ish at times.
I didn't enjoy trying to figure out what evolution methods changed. The only stone evolutions I experienced were for the Eevee line. Which was frustrating because every few levels I was checking to see if stones would work on certain Pokémon, only to find out later that I just needed to level up
Thanks for playing!
I explain all that if you read through the original posts on the forums where it was posted.
You can also look at the PBS Folder and open the Pokemon.txt to see every little detail about the Pokemon.
I downloaded the game and extracted it as listed, but when I attempt to run it, I get an error message: No game scripts specified (missing Game.ini?)
Try to reinstall it in a fresh directory. Delete the old one.
Out of thousands of downloads only a few didn't work for people, hopefully you're not the very few. Goodluck!
I redownloaded with the exact same results. I even have a game.ini file.
Sorry to say I'm not sure why that's occurring then.
It is a PC specific game, so if you're using another platform, it may not work.
If I think of anything else, I'll let you know.
I finally got it working. Guess my second round was just too close to the original file directory. Odd.
Glad to hear it!
Hope you enjoy the game.
I can't find the Strength HM.
Help out the lady standing at the northern entrance in Floria Town.
Ok, but it requires first finding for a Furret she had lost first.
I did it, many thanks.
Glad you figured it out!
Feel free to message me if you need to know anything else.
