Summary

Welcome to Oblar, a Pokémon region split between two factions.

Your mother, the leader of the Lavender Faction, tasks you with researching Oblar’s unique Pokémon species.

But you find much more: an ancient and mysterious Pokémon, an organization with questionable motives, tales from Oblar’s past, and plenty of intrigue…

…all centered around Oblar’s Great Forest, where a powerful force is said to lurk.

Description

This game aims to provide the nostalgic feel of a Gen IV Pokémon game while refreshing some of the standard plot formulas. You’ll find gym puzzles and badges, a Pokémon professor, a rival, and other callbacks to canon Pokémon plots.

At the same time, the game adds many new features (described below) and incentives for exploration, from sidequests with rare rewards to regional Pokémon that can only be found via thorough gameplay. It also asks new questions about the Pokémon world and its governance. Hopefully, this game will echo whatever drove you to play Pokémon games in the first place while giving you plenty of new content to enjoy!

Features

  • A carefully curated regional Pokédex, featuring Pokémon and moves from the first 8 generations.​
  • balanced experience crafted by a team of competitive Pokémon players. Though this is by no means a “kaizo” game, it should be difficult enough to provide some challenge to even experienced players.​
  • 37 regional forms of existing Pokémon currently obtainable, with more planned for future releases.​
  • 39 formal side quests, plus a variety of smaller content unlockable through player interaction.​
  • Secret Spots” – areas accessible with a special item that contains rare Pokémon and/or items.​
  • Super trainers” – extra-challenging trainers that will challenge you only if you battle every other trainer on a route.​
  • A variety of new game options, including Nuzlocke mode and level caps for those who want a difficult experience, as well as infinite rare candies, and auto heal for those who want a more casual playthrough.​
  • custom soundtrack featuring remixed versions of existing Pokémon tracks, with more to come in future updates!​
  • Exp. Share options – experience sharing can be disabled entirely, enabled from the Bag to give Exp. to all Pokémon, or given to one specific Pokémon to share Exp. with just that Pokémon.​
  • In-game time cycles with no relation to real-time, enabling the player to find different Pokémon available only at certain times of day.​
  • Some of your favorite characters from canon Pokémon games have cameo appearances.​

FAQs

What are the controls?

By default, the controls are Arrow keys to move, C or Enter to interact, X to cancel or to run in the field, Z to open the menu, D to use registered items, Q to cycle through speed-up options, and W to skip through text. You can change the key mappings with the F1 key.

What emulator do I need to use to play this?

There’s no need for an emulator (on PC). Just run the “Game.exe” file and the game will start. For Mac and Android refer to the question below.

Can Pokemon Hollow Woods be played on a Mac or Android?

At present, there’s no official support for playing Pokemon Hollow Woods on Mac or mobile devices. However, some users have managed to play the game on Mac by utilizing Wine.

You may be able to play it on Android using Joiplay. Here’s a guide on how you can do so: How To Play RPG Maker XP Games On Android 

Where do I go next?

In each Pokémon center, there’s an NPC available to provide hints regarding your next destination. While you’re also encouraged to seek assistance in the Discord community, I suggest exploring your options first for a more enriching experience.

Is X in the game?

I might compile a list of Pokémon in the regional dex later on. For the time being, feel free to inquire about any Pokémon currently accessible in the demo through Discord.

Is there Exp. Share in the game?

Yes, the Exp. Share is obtainable as a quest reward. It can be used in three ways as described in Features.

What are the shiny odds?

The shiny odds for default encounters are the same as they are in the Generation IV games. However, these odds are far higher for Pokémon in certain areas, such as underground tunnels.

How do I evolve the starters?

The starters no longer evolve by stones. Instead, they all evolve at level 28.
