Pokemon Recordkeepers

Pokemon Recordkeepers is a fan-made roguelite that changes the way battles work. Instead of the traditional flow you’d expect, it introduces a new system where both players and opposing Pokémon can carry up to four abilities each. On top of that, it comes with more than 80 new abilities and 14 extra moves that shift how fights play out. The game also takes place in a custom region built specifically for this style of gameplay, with different sub-areas designed around challenging boss encounters.

What stands out most is how it looks. The creators didn’t reuse old assets—there are brand new tiles, a redesigned interface, and a polished visual style that makes the game feel distinct from anything official. Fans have praised the clean design and how well the theme holds together, especially since the visuals play such a big role in connecting the roguelite structure with the overall pacing of the experience.

Story:

You play as Tiana, a newly appointed Recordkeeper tasked with uncovering the truth behind ancient myths and folktales. Each story brings its own set of trials, forcing you to adapt and strategize as you battle through challenges. Success rewards you with new abilities and moves that can be equipped to your Pokémon, letting you craft powerful combinations never before possible. Will you master these tales and shape your own legend, or fall short and try again?
