I decided to do another "What if Ash went to fan game regions" AU, this time in the Esoteria region of Realidea System

Idk, doing these is fun and gives me an excuse to revisit old fan games i haven't played in a while. if you have more fan game suggestions you'd like to see me either play or make an Ash team out of, let me know.

Anyway, I made this Ash sprite by splicing and editing from various official Pokemon sprites from gen 4 and 5, while the pokemon sprites were dug up from the game files. I did not create the fakemon here, so show some love to the game and play it at some point, since it's beautiful and stuff.

some blurb under the cut:

Now unlike some of the other fan games i've played in the past, Realidea System only has a small handful of new fakemon to choose from. With that in mind, I got a little creative with his team this go around, combining some elements of Journeys and his past teams to get this.

My main check lists:

2 new pokemon

1 Pokemon that can technically come from Kanto

1 Pokemon fans kinda wanted him to have (ie me)

1 Pokemon with a type clash (this happens more often than you think, later seasons being way more obvious with it)

and then I threw in Garchomp because I thought it'd be a nice callback to when his Phanpy from Johto went on his Battle Frontier and actually got to evolve, and Aipom from Battle Frontier to Sinnoh for similar reasons. And technically comes from Kanto if we consider that Gible lives in Oak's ranch.

the type clash hurts my soul a lot, but it makes sense for him.

I imagine Ash winds up in the Esoteria region after meeting Will, the Psychic Type Elite 4 member of Kanto/Johto, who invites Ash to come with him to the region- Will makes an appearance in the game, so it makes some sense to happen after time passes.

From there, I imagine the story plays out pretty similarly to the game, although he probably travels with Elliot and the feMC of the game, taking both under his wing. There may be a few times when Ash calls upon his old Pokemon though, since that's rarer in the newer times, and this game's dex is basically built for that.

Realidea System is pretty hilarious, so I imagine it would work remarkably well with his and Pikachu's tendencies to get into hijinks. The game definitely has issues towards people or pokemon from Kanto though, so I imagine he's probably experienced some weirdness about that as well, and probably found it weird as hell that he encountered Leon in Giratina's world after being sucked into a garbage can.

Anyway, his team:

Pikachu: same Pikachu as usual, the bestest boy that never leaves his side

Seaghoul (Water/Dark): the water type starter of the region. Seaghoul has always been a bit proud of itself, but also is super supportive of the rest of the crew and tries to uplift them. When he fully evolved, he sort of became the captain of the crew, and Ash, Pikachu, Zoroark, and Garchomp actually somewhat go along with the antics that come with it. Fierce, tenacious, cunning, he fights and never gives in- a problem at times, especially when he doesn't want to swap out. I like to imagine there's a post game arc where they go sailing with the pun pirates and everyone just gets super in character.

Drifblim (Ghost/Fire): Ash caught a Drifloon when he and the gang had to stop a group of them from kidnapping children from a camp one night- then he was surprised to see it evolve into a fire type! Drifblim is kind of oblivious to everything and easily distracted, but he does come in clutch where it counts.

Garchomp: This is the same Gible Ash caught towards the tail end of the Sinnoh series, and he decided to keep Gible around one day when bringing a crew through the PC to visit the new region. Gible evolved rather quickly due to all of his experience gathered off screen, but he's still not used to being in such a big body. Even as a Garchomp, he still bites Ash's head and is a bit silly. Still, he does get some major wins here and there, showing off his power in rare moments where it counts.

Scizor: Caught as a Scyther terrorizing a horde of Rowlett in a forest after being messed with by the evil team of the region, and it had a small rivalry with Ash's Gabite at the time of meeting. After being fixed up, it swore loyalty to Ash and was actually revealed to be calm and serious in fights. When it evolved, it quickly became one of the team's strongest assets that could always be relied upon, although he is still not used to Ash's light hearted nature or the silly antics everyone else gets into.

Zoroark: Ash found and rescued a wounded Zorua in a barn and nursed it back to health over the course of several weeks. After it got better, it sprung back to life and was filled with fun and mischief, and constantly trying to get the others to play with him. Even after evolving, one of his favorite pranks is to transform into other Pokemon or people in the group to mimic them or confuse the others, and over time the gang has gotten used and even embrace seeing an extra version of one of themselves in the group. It's an excellent battler, and Ash makes use of its Illusion ability in battle to trip up opponents.

"Kasimir, do you want some help with your seaghoul problem?"

"Nah, Spooky, I think me and Coleridge are gonna get along just fine."

"Sea...ghoul...like seagull, but-"

"Yes, I know you made a pun, I am simply choosing to ignore it."

this game was honestly so good. i definately was not a fan of any of the gym puzzles or just puzzles to begin with, they were super hard for me (don't know why...) but i really liked the game mechanics and such as well as all the characters.

My team: scuttle (starter, seaghoul), barkfire (male arcanine), lanie (female lanturn), trixie (female mawile), legowlas (male decidueye), goggles (male flygon)

pokemon fan game: realidea system (english version)

Welp, that time again. I made a sprite of my self insert from playing Pokemon Realidea System, then used the in game sprites of the Pokemon from the game files to do a team shot of all the Pokemon I used. For Tiny Joltik, I did a little editing, but that's it.

My final team ended up being Seaghoul, Drifblim (variant), Darmanitan (variant), Tsareena, Staraptor, and Flygon, but Granbull was also with me for a good chunk until right before gym 7 I believe, and Meganium, Decidueye, Luxray (mostly as a Shinx and Luxio), and Joltik were there to help me for a bit during the first 4 gyms too, I believe. Meowth and Zubat were there for the first two gyms I think.

I'm not gonna make a big thing about it tbh. I feel like the story in the game was pretty loose enough to insert my character anywhere tbh with only a couple of minor plot details needing changed.

I tried to base my character design on the in game boy design, but I took some liberties with the outfit too to try and make it more unique for myself.

Anyway thank you to the Realidea System team for a fun game! I hope if you happen to see this that you attempt a future project!
