PROGRESS: Project Version 2.9.1 - 27-10-2025 Demo - 4 gyms, 6 events, 168 Pokémon, A handful of ability and move reworks / buffs, minor Team Rocket involvement, and a glimpse at postgame content.

It is a unique, battle-focused roguelike fan game that transforms the Kanto gym challenge into an endlessly replayable adventure. Take on the role of a Pokémon Ranger invited to test out Bill's newest invention: the Nine Island Little League! This is not your typical Kanto journey; it's a strategic gauntlet where teambuilding and resource management are key. The game's standout feature is that every Pokémon can only learn two moves, forcing you to think creatively and strategically in every battle. With a randomized gym order, a roster of over 150 Pokémon, and a host of random events that can trigger between battles, no two runs are ever the same. Can you conquer this new take on the Kanto league?

🛑Features:

➡️Roguelike Kanto Gym Challenge: Experience the Kanto gym challenge in a brand new, roguelike format. The order of the eight gyms is completely randomized in every playthrough, and trainer teams are handcrafted for a balanced challenge.

➡️Two-Move Limit: The game's core, strategic twist. Every single Pokémon—both yours and your opponents'—can only know a maximum of two moves at any given time, forcing creative and deep strategic teambuilding.

➡️Randomized Events: To ensure no two runs are the same, the game features six different random events that can occur after each gym battle, ranging from a surprise battle with Blue to playing a game of Three-Ball Monte.

➡️Play as a Pokémon Ranger: Instead of a new trainer, you take on the role of an established Pokémon Ranger on a mission to help the inventor, Bill, test his new "Little League" invention on the new Nine Island.

➡️Rebalanced "Trashmons" & Buffs: Many weaker and less popular Pokémon have been given various buffs to their stats, abilities, or movepools, making a much wider variety of Pokémon viable and even powerful.

➡️Strategic Resource Management: Money is limited, making every purchase of Pokéballs, Potions, and even Rare Candies a crucial strategic decision that will impact your run.

➡️168 Obtainable Pokémon (Demo): The current demo version includes 168 Pokémon to find, catch, and build your team with.

➡️Built-in Nuzlocke Mode: The game features an optional, built-in Nuzlocke mode with a suite of customizable rules and features.

➡️Modern UI & Menus: The game features a host of modern UI improvements, including a party IV checker, an in-game Move Relearner, a Hidden Power type viewer, an encounter list, and animated sprites.

➡️Quality of Life Upgrades: Includes a built-in speed-up button (press 'Q'), an optional modern EXP All, multiple save slots, and a system that removes the need for HM slaves.
