The details that change your playthrough
Ultra Megalopolis and Ultra Space
One fixed starter — Poipole (1-in-100 shiny chance)
Complete main campaign with postgame content. Version 2.0 adds a postgame battle and additional Necrozma lore.
The creator describes the game as slightly harder than an average official Pokémon game while remaining beatable. Rank Leaders show their type and maximum level before battle.
Why it stands out
- All 1,025 official Pokémon are documented as obtainable
- Poipole is the fixed starter, with a documented 1-in-100 shiny chance
- An open-world, widescreen adventure through Ultra Megalopolis and Ultra Space
- Version 2.0 adds postgame content, Necrozma lore and multiple collection conveniences
- More than 20 Rank Leaders provide type and maximum-level information before battle
Known limits
- The exact release date of version 2.0 is Not yet verified from the creator-owned sources
- General EXP Share behaviour and HM handling are Not yet verified
- Exact Fakemon status is Not yet verified; the confirmed 1,025-Pokémon roster is not treated as proof that no custom species or forms exist
- Android uses JoiPlay, while the developer explicitly limits support to Windows
Confirmed convenience and progression features
- Box sorting by Pokédex number, species name, level or type
- Raids no longer require a specific Pokémon type
- Legendary gacha prioritises species the player is missing
- Rank Battles reward EXP Candies instead of direct EXP
- ALT-key speed-up option
- Evolution requirements shown in the Pokémon Summary
Players who want a complete standalone open-world adventure, a fixed Poipole start and a collection goal covering all 1,025 official Pokémon.
Wait for further verification if exact EXP Share or HM behaviour, a confirmed no-Fakemon classification, native Android support or an exact version 2.0 release date matters.
