Loomie here, presenting a run of Pokèmon Xenoverse! Pokèmon Xenoverse is a fangame, made with RPG Maker XP like most fangames in the Reborn forums, which is still in early development. Two demos have been released - right now, the second one is not an expansion of the first one but has a totally different setting and story - and, even at this stage, there are some very interesting features. However, what makes this game special is that it's made by an italian development team, WEEDle there's their official site and, as such, the dialogues are mostly in italian. The second demo comes in English as well, but even then, don't worry, for I'll try to translate everything for you~ Part 1: The top percentage Rattata The game begins with a flashback - a very interesting way to start off - rather than with the usual Professor lecture. Sezu is the father of the protagonist, and he is shown in a hospital, waiting for our birth. It'll be a nurse to ask him the gender and name of the player - in this case, a girl named Dawn. Don't worry, I'll play the second demo as a boy. Once that is done, another flashback occurs. Here we are 5 years old, and our father Sezu decides to take us outside. We first check out our Miltank, then we head to the nearby lake, and finally to the small monument in the picture. But you're too young to hear this story. Sezu finds three Pokeballs, and lets us keep one of them. Those Pokeballs contain: The Grass-Fairy type Shyleon The Fire-Sound type Trishout yes, they added a brand new type, Sound - I still don't know much about it though And the Water-Dragon Type Shulong, which I'll keep. At this point, someone attacks our father, claiming that those Pokeballs were his. He calls out a Golem and starts a battle with Sezu, as we try to run away... Now in the present, we hear from our mother, Sophie, that our dad has been disappeared since. As we are ready to start our journey, our mother gives us everything we need - Pokedex, Running Shoes - and tells us to reach the nearest city, Ludopoli, as Ezio, a friend of our father, lives there. She tells us to be safe before we exit her house. This is how Dawn looks now that she is 10. Yes, it's another pink-haired protagonist, like in Rejuvenation. And this is Dawn outside, with Shulong. Not only we have some really interesting graphics the menu is from Black and White 2, by the way but we also have our first Pokemon in the party that is following us like in Heartgold and Soulsilver. Shulong can't talk to us yet, but this will be likely implemented in the full game. This is the Pokedex data for the 'Mythical small dragon' Pokemon, Shulong. Shulong is a small chinese dragon that has 2 kinds of skin external and internal , making it very versatile. As we head outside, we are approached by a woman named Lea who explains how to catch a Pokemon and gives us some Pokeball. Hikiloo, the Puppy Small dog Pokemon, is a Normal-Ice type. A cute puppy coming from iced lands. Since ancient times it'd help humans training huge weights during the most impetuous snowstorms. And finally, we also get a third member for our team, Sparkowl the Pidgey equivalent, probably : Sparkowl, the Tiny Bird Pokemon I'm totally sure on this one is an Electric-Flying type. Spakwol typo right there usually lives on trees. If not disturbed, it's tender and quiet. Let's admit it, it looks slightly weak at first sight. But later you'll see why I got it anyways. As you can see, most Pokemon here are Fakemon, but don't worry, as there are many normal Pokemon as well like the Miltank from before, and many Pidgey, Eevee, Bunnelby, and Rattata in the first route. There are also some trainers, who I've promptly beaten. This is a new, small route, that heads to our next destination, Ludopoli. The first trainer we meet is this guy, GENNARU BULLO normally called Gennaro , and his top percentage Rattata. In case you were wondering, Gennaro Bullo is the italian equivalent of the famous trainer Joey the Bully. This time though, his Rattata is really a top percentage Rattata. Also, I'm taking this chance to point out two other things. First, the different battle interface that this game has. It's very nice, especially because I don't think that the Shiny rate has been changed like in Reborn, and is probably still as low as in the main series games! After our loss, Gennaro wants to block the path, but luckily, he's promptly called out by his mother, who brings him back home. We can finally head to Ludopoli! Now in Ludopoli, we find a fire in the city. All the inhabitants are outside, calling for help, but Ezio comes and saves the day! Yes, he has a Suicune. When he's about to leave, he finally recognizes us as the daughter of his friend Sezu, and decides to talk a bit more about us. A new plan is set: Next time, we'll have to follow Ezio as he hunts down that Delta Pokemon. The Team: Obtained in part 1: Shulong the starter - lv. Hmm, this is an interesting game. Maybe I'll play it. Do you know where the second demo goes up to? And I wouldn't worry about the whole language thing, I speak Spanish, so I understand what they're saying. I still don't know where this demo goes up to. But, about the second one: they made it mainly because they want to test some features, like the aforementioned Pokemon Delta, which will be available only later in the game. So they made up a brand new storyline just for the second demo, that may become a part of the final game as well. And yes, they worked a lot on the graphics. Part 2: It's a bomb! Last time, we had to explore Shining Beach. Ezio was going there to hunt down the Delta Pokemon that caused a fire in Ludopoli the first time we got there. On our way there, we beat some trainers and caught a new Fakemon, Yemin: Normal-Fighting. I don't know if I'll be using it that much, though. A Pokemon that never surrenders, and always finds an excuse to keep fighting. Even if it's about to lose, he won't stop until his opponent forfeits. All I needed was one Pokeball and some Thundershocks from Sparkowl. But first, notice the weird dimensional portal thingy that appears behind Delta Pokemon when a battle with one of them starts. Delta Elekid is a Fire type like Elekid's counterpart in the normal games, Magby. The Pokedex says: This is the delta forme of Elekid. It's a small bomb engulfed in fire not really sure on how to translate this, pardon that, if disturbed, can even blow up. After catching the Elekid, we arrive to Ezio's lab, where he and other scientists study Delta Pokemon. Those Pokemon come from an opposite dimension distortion world?? Before leaving the lab, a scientist named Anna gives us the Item Crafter, alongside a Pokeball and a Megaball circuit. I haven't tried this out yet, but they say it is a tool that lets you combine
