Taking the Nintendo DS games as its base, the game offers everything you'd expect from a good Pokmon release for Windows. It looks fantastic but after coming out some years ago with a free demo, development has slowed down with only a few of the original team still working on it but even so the official Discord is still fairly active. Pokmon Uranium is a new unofficial installment in the Pokmon saga developed by a small team of fans over a period of almost 10 years and it shows. One of the most visually impressive fan games is Phoenix Rising, which has the original series' Pokémon creatures but in a new region and story. There's Pokémon Reborn, another darker take on the series where the player must form an alliance with gym members to take back Reborn City from crime syndicates. Pokémon Insurgence is a little more intense than your average Pokemon game, taking place in a war-torn region where cults and gangs fight for world domination. The most interesting addition to the Pokémon formula is the Nuclear-type which was created after a nuclear catastrophe in the game's story. The game features over 200 newly designed Pokémon, an entirely new region called Tandor, and 8 badges and a championship to win. The first is Pokémon Uranium, a fan game that was nine years in the making before it released in 2016. There are shops, gyms, Pokèmon Centres, and every single critter from generations one through seven-that'll keep you busy. It's a mod that turns Minecraft into a creature collecting paradise.

If you're into Minecraft you will definitely want to check out Pixelmon (opens in new tab).
