Pokémon: Ghost Grey Version

What it is

Ghost Grey, by Joey Zeed, is a full-length fan game in the spirit of the creepypastas and edgy hacks of the late 2000s. It takes place in Kanto in 2049, fifty years after Gold and Silver, in a region that has fallen apart and is haunted by ghosts and broken people. The goal is still familiar on paper: earn seven badges, fill the Pokédex and become Champion.

What's new

• A new story, a custom regional dex of over 200 Ghost-type Pokémon including more than 120 original regional variants, and a post-game
• Every visual redrawn with original sprites, from overworlds to battle animations
• An original score by Whale (AmnCordy), with more than 130 songs and jingles
• Updated mechanics: the Fairy type, the physical/special split, newer abilities and items, and a reworked type chart
• Convenience: an unlimited Rare Candy, a grinding area, reusable TMs, forgettable HMs and early EXP Share; no EVs, IVs or breeding

The creator says no AI was used anywhere in the game. It contains mature themes and some profanity.
