My Design Challenge in creating this game was to design an experience that the younger me would love to play. Oregon Trail, Zork and Colossal Cave are the classic nostalgic command-line adventure games for the previous generation.
As a fellow 90’s kid, our generation was born into the craze of Pokémon where you battle and collect super-powered animals to save the world. Through trading cards, huddling together with Link Cables and debating Saturday episodes; it was a golden series to meet new friends. Combining the classic command-line style with the popular world of Pokémon, grants a smooth trip down memory lane.
