Pokémon Apex is a refreshingly adult take on the Pokémon universe.

Salix Babylonika · 2017-01-08 15:16:20

Grounded in reality and full of real world problems in which you play a young boy who finds himself able to travel to a strange world full of powerful demons called Pokémon. A well-crafted fangame created by Nathan Guzenhauser. Pokémon Apex is an adult take on the classic "Catch 'em All!" gameplay of Pokémon. That's not "adult" as in violence and nudity, although there is some swearing. It's "adult" in the sense the story themes that it addresses, with you playing a high-schooler who's mother and father have separated, and who escapes the drudgery of day-to-day life by playing video games with his best friend. Throughout the game, you discover that you can cross between worlds to a strange demon (or Pokémon)-infested world, and discover there is a dark cult hell-bent on destroying both worlds. It's up to you to step up, catch some Pokémon, and take on the dark cult before they do too much harm! It's a fun adventure and a great twist on the traditional Pokémon game play.

fighting a doomsday cult basically is the plot of most recent Pokemon games

TitleName · 2017-01-08 21:50:31

GMH does not believe in anything past Gen 2.

He does not know the joy of Rowlet, the poor soul.

glennmagusharvey · 2017-01-09 01:20:47

I was going play Gen 2 but then I lost my save file! I even had like 100 pokédex entries already...

Well, you see it's not "adult" as in violence in nudity, although there is some swearing.

It's "adult" in the sense the story themes that it addresses, with you playing a high-schooler who's mother and father have seperated, and who escapes the drudgery of day-to-day life by playing video games with his best friend.

Salix Babylonika · 2017-01-09 02:34:26

this is three hours long, the source of the copypasta in the OP, and worth every single one of those hours

But are they grounded in reality and full of real world problems?

Well the stream is grounded in reality, and full of real world problems. It's a well-crafted game stream by Nick Reineke, and a refreshing twist on the classic "catch em all" gameplay.

Salix Babylonika · 2017-01-09 02:41:27

no but seriously like, don't watch it all at once obviously, but it's good throughout.

Obā-san · 2017-01-09 02:43:27

you'll also find that it is quite adult.

Salix Babylonika · 2017-01-09 02:45:25

but not in the sense of nudity or violence, though there is some swearing.

Obā-san · 2017-01-09 02:46:29

yeah, it's "adult" in the sense the story themes that it addresses.

Calica · 2017-01-09 03:11:39

demon (or Pokémon) infested world

Calica · 2017-01-09 03:11:56

I could do with a little less laughing at Guzenhauser

Obā-san · 2017-01-09 03:22:36

they do apologize for that repeatedly

Yeah, that's what I meant.

It seems well-made, just not my taste is all. I don't find myself caring about the themes it addresses.

Princess Alice · 2017-01-09 04:29:06

I honestly can't tell if you're just playing along or if you don't realize this is all copypasta

Obā-san · 2017-01-09 05:30:04

it is weird to feel bad for a plant?

But it's not the plant you're feeling sorry for!

Sredni Vashtar · 2017-01-09 06:51:14

Do you really want a serious answer to that, Fossilmaiden? :|

Obā-san · 2017-01-09 06:56:42

Calica · 2017-01-09 18:01:08

here's the hole

Calica · 2017-01-09 18:10:04

there's a D carved into the front

Calica · 2017-01-09 18:12:13

if it's an hour to his flight why isn't he already at the airport

Calica · 2017-01-09 18:15:57

Salix Babylonika · 2017-01-10 08:08:57

Welcome to jellyworld

Calica · 2017-01-10 08:10:46

grounded in reality, with real-world problems like not having soda sinbad

Like I'm glad they have a story expanding on the player character, and people's inner turmoil, but I was thinking that kind of game-type was more related to Persona/SMT, where your inner turmoil and stuff WAS the summons and monsters, and the Pokemon were external things you found in the wild and convinced to trust you and whatever.

Like, pokemon representing broken families, or a Ghost pokemon representing people stuck in Poverty, and all that would be a nice touch but the lore of the game doesn't seem to add much to what Pokemon normally was.

Catching dragons and one-shotting teams that used to piss you off, and collecting all the super awesome powerful ones and sticking them in boxes and staring at them in glory and reverance, like when I got Salamence, Tyranitar and Steelix for the first time.

Salix Babylonika · 2017-01-31 07:17:43

that doesn't sound very grounded in reality of you, Viani

Calica · 2017-01-31 07:18:03

have you seen the stream, viani

Viani · 2017-01-31 07:18:48

It doesn't? Oh. Sorry.

Pokémon Apex is a refreshingly adult take on the Pokémon universe.
