You could argue that just scraping by is testament to the knife edge they’ve balanced their game around. I’d probably say I got lucky with the moves my Pokemon learnt near the end of these routes.

Healing items which were all gone by the time I got near the end of the next route. Multiple times I ran out of money early on, spending it all on healing items. Multiple times I only barely got through an area, my Pokemon no longer being able to even attack let alone win a fight. If you do fight them you could end up using more healing items than you’d earned beating them. This is true even without playing Nuzlocke. If you don’t fight them you won’t get money. You need healing items to keep your team alive.Trainers can be incredibly tough. Either because you can’t beat the wild Pokemon on the way there, or because you’re at one of the many points in the game where you cannot leave certain portions of the map. Money, early on, is scarce. Running back to the start of the game in order to grind Pokemon closer to your weaker Pokemon’s levels might be impossible. If you were to lose a ‘good’ Pokemon at any point, you could easily be in a situation where you’re soft locked out of playing any more. Which makes it’s inclusion of a Nuzlocke mode – a mode where your run is heavily restricted and where you lose Pokemon if they ever faint – remarkably strange. No I do not know why they included the Titanic as a Pokemon Whilst revisiting Trainers both takes time and they get much tougher on repeat visits. Wild Pokemon are tough and give little experience. The game requires you to grind battles in order to keep up with the opposition you’ll face, but gives you no way in order to sensibly do so. But Uranium doesn’t do anything to facilitate that. Changing the pacing of a Pokemon game could allow a different, yet interesting, exploration of that kind of world.

With smarter AI, and higher stats compared to Gamefreak’s games, Uranium will not hesitate to wipe your team if you make even a single mistake mid-battle, or even just not level enough. And not just that, wild Pokemon and Trainers are harder than ever. Instead of naturally getting over-levelled, in Uranium you will be under-levelled. Pokemon games do not tend to be particularly hard. Similarly, the amount of experience your Pokemon get from just fighting everything you come across will result in your whole squad getting over-levelled, though to a lesser degree. That Pokemon will get over-levelled, and so long as it’s strong enough with decentish moves it will solo most every battle in the game. For the most part, you can just use your starter Pokemon, or another strong pokemon you like the look of, and beat the entire game rather easily only using it. Traditional Pokemon games tend to be easily ‘broken’. I don’t make any particular effort not to spoil anything, so you have been warned.) Whilst I don’t go into too heavy detail about the plot of the game that’s mainly because there isn’t much detail to go off of.

(On the off chance you care about spoilers about this game you might want to avoid this piece. That this is as much a love letter to Pokemon, as it is a game inspired by the franchise. Because of this I’m going to be looking at Pokemon Uranium from that perspective. Despite not having played a Pokemon game since 2007, Pokemon Uranium is as deeply entrenched in what it means to be a Pokemon game – to be a Pokemon game like those from my youth – as possible. To look at it’s merits, themes and systems as if they weren’t part of a much messier web of fan-creator relations. Ideally, I’d’ve liked to have looked at Pokemon Uranium as a stand alone thing. It then takes that blend of nostalgia and polish and wraps it up in what, it feels, fans want out of a Pokemon game. Boasting 9 years in development Pokemon Uranium is a fangame blending the 3 rd generation of Pokemon games – Ruby and Sapphire – with the series’ modern improvements. And on the fanwork side of things, Pokemon Uranium got released. Sun and Moon are coming in November and are looking to be the most innovative take on a mainline Pokemon game ever. Pokemon GO has managed to bump media attention and interest in the Pokemon brand to the highest it has been since the 90s. 2016 has been a big year for the Pokemon franchise.
