I think WotC released something close to a RPG in their Pokémon line of products.

Anyone remember the name of that game? I haven't found it on their website (but perhaps I haven't looked hard enough).

I have so far only found two pokémon-like RPG

My compulsive buyer behavior direct me to buy them all! (arg!)

BACK, Demons! Quickly, Grand Inquisitors! Destroy this thread before its Eeeevil Consumes Us All! I would suggest Running For Your Lives.

Seriously, if they ever make a Pokemon RPG, I'm rounding up a posse to dispose of the makers once and for all.

The piratey person's eyelid twitches ever-so-slightly, but just enough to be noticable.

Um... I feel a bit embarrased. My insanity doesn't usually fly out like this. I need a steak.

Yum... pokemon steak.

Err.

Forget I said anything. I was never here.

I'd be interested in it for the monsters alone. Let's face it, if I want a world where very little thing is magical, why bother making it all myself when I can just say "It's an electric rat."

Of course, my experience with Pokemon is next-to-none...but if anyone wants to try to do some d20 Pokemon stuff as a fan, Videogame d20 does have a spot for you, and I'd appreciate the work, even if no one else will.

There was a small box called the Pokemon Jr. Adventure Game, you can see a review here.

All things considered, it is a fantastic game for the target audience and served as an introduction to RPGs for MANY children. While the game is very simplistic, it captures the feel of the Pokemon shows very well (or so kids tell me) - and it sold something like 500k copies according to Ryan Dancey. If these kids can be kept in the hobby, which seems sadly unlikely, they'll form the basis for the future of our hobby.

I liked it. Kids I know liked it and enjoyed roleplaying a pokemon trainer and coming up with cool new uses for their little critters. It's cool.

I can get some of those dirt cheap if anyone is interested.

Yes! -fighting Seizure Monsters forever! It was among the best (and possibly only) supplements released for Big eyes small mouth ever, aside from the El-Hazard RPG, and perhaps (though to a lesser exent) the Tenchi Muyo RPG.

I must admit, I was an avid fan of the Pokemon franchise for a bit.

However, I grew out of it.

I remember thinking that the Pokemon cartoon was a lot like Sparticus, what with the slaves being forced to fight each other and one slave (Pikachu) refusing to stay in his Pokeball...

However, I don't think Sparticus could shoot lightning bolts while shouting "Sparti-Sparti!"

You can also get a look at it at the Wizards online store, though it is out of stock.

(I worked at an EB that stocked it, so I remembered what I looked like.)
