Pokémon – like Doctor Who, LEGO, and blanket forts – is not just for kids, though it has to be acknowledged that it does not explicitly cater to its current adult audience, either. A fan, though, is creating a new Pokémon game aimed at appealing specifically to the grown-ups. Pokémon Apex is an unauthorised fan game – made in RPG Maker XP and in the works since 2014 – developed by Nathan Gunzenhauser, better known by his pseudonym iamvishnu, “developed with an adult Pokémon fan in mind,” according to the official website.
This adult iteration of Pokémon is not an excuse for titillation, though, but will include “some adult dialogue (some swearing) and themes (death, abandonment), and some minor horror elements,” as well as a greater difficulty curve compared to the official Pokémon games.
In his description of the game, iamvishnu outlines the issues he has with the previous Pokémon games that he intends to solve:
The game is far from finished, but an alpha build is available to try here.
